Arthur Hanson of the Public Drug
Co., has returned from Bagley, MINI.
where he spent several days with his
parents. He reports that someone
shot the pet deer that has been MAX
ing it's home on the Hanson farm, In
the leg, crippling the beautiful animal
horribly. The deer will live, but will
always be lame. The deer, which
grew wildin the woods, first made up
with the stock on the Hanson farm,
and then got into the habit of coming
to the house for ito food, where it
became very tame. It continued to
live in tho woods, but came to the
house regularly for its meals and to
be petted.
Mr.. Hanson says that part Of Min
nesota is developing very rapidly.
The land. after being cleared Of the
timber, produces big crops Of grain.

Good Yield.

While the early wheat does MOI
appear as good as that sowed

of rain from now on to do this
Last year a Tagus farmer was
hailed out when his wheat had Just
started to head. The damage was so
great that the insurance company
allowed his claim Of eight dollars an

Fire destroyed the interior Of the
new three story Carroll block and
burned completely the barn of the
Minot Transfer Co., on Ramstad St.,
ct six o'clock this afternoon.
The fire started in the rear OF the
stable occupied by the transfer COM
pany, and before the Aremen could be
summoned, the building was one mass
Of flames
The flremen made q very quick run
to the fire, but when the hose was
attached, it was the same Old story
not sufficient pressure. It seemed ten
minutes before any pressure was Sc
cured, and twice that long before 1t
was strong enough to do any good
In the meantime, the flames were
becoming hotter and hotter, and fan
ned by a fierce wind, were whipped
around the front of the Carroll block,
which caught fire half an hour later.
The flames were very hot, so much
so in fact, that an electric light pole
across the street caught fire. 1t was
feareu at one time that the Minot
Grocery block would be destroyed.
The J. H. Thompkins brick block
lust south of the barn, had mario"
ESCAPE. The firemen were none toe
Quick in turning the streams of water
on the north wall. The laundryman
was so sure that his building was
going up in smoke that most OF the
effects were moved from the building.
The firemen controlled the flames
as soon as the water got to working
right, but there are many of the opln
ion that there is generally something
wrong with the pressure about the
time that a good red hot fire visits
us. -Four streams were played on at
once. One section of hose burst when
the flames were at their worst, and
had to be replaced.
This was a mighty costly fire.
Luckily the Transfer Company lost no
horses. Nearly every horse had been
out that afternoon ito the races, and
had not been brot in yet. Little Esth-
er Parker's pony, and Mrs. VIM.
Parker's driving mare were in the
barn when the flames broke out. but

BEFORE graduating as lawyer, ne
taught school in various places in
this vicinity, the last during the win
ter CT 1894, being the Mcconnell
school Ave niles east ct Sheldon to
which he rode broncho every day.
He never missed single day and
also did the janitor work having the
fire going every morning before eight
o'clock. His evenings were spent in
study and reading law. In this way
he earned the money to complete his
law studies and was admitted to the
bar in the spring Of 1894. He first
located at LaMoure later moving to
Valley City where he was elected
States Attorney and, served in that
office for two terms or until he was
elected to the judgship. After four
years Of service he was reelected
without opposition and is now nearly
through his second term. AS an cyl
dence Of his standing among the legal
fraternity we quote the following
from Judge Pollock's address before
the Methodist State Conference:
'Judge Burke has measured to the
full standard of the ideal Judge. He
has stood for the enforcement of
the law, and by fair and fearless
treatment has become a terror to the
lawless element Sheldon Progress
