Merry Is In Jail Again.

G. F. Merry, the notorious
railroad" promoter and alleged
all round swindler is now an
inmate of the Foster county jail.
Last April Merry sold $500 worth
of stock in the Dakota Southern
railroad" to McHenry parties,
alleging that he was president of
the company. This week he was
arrested in Barnes county and
at once taken to Darlington,
where he was arraigned before
Judge Winterer, and held under
a $4,000 bond. He was convicted
of fraud in Stark county, but
took an appeal to the supreme
court. He will be taken back to
Stark county, and after the
courts decision, will probably
have to stand trial in Foster coun-
ty. -Bismarck Palladium.

We noticed a very pitiful sight
on Steele Ave. Monday afternoon
when some thoughtless mother
had gone into one of the stores
and left her baby. just a few
months old, outside in a cab.
The flies, which are very bad at
this time of year, we're vieing
with one another as to who could
cause to poor, helpless little in
FAINT the most discomfort, by
crawling over it's hands and face
and around it's mouth. Aside
from this torture, every one of
these flies was reeking with filth
and germs from the street, and
it will be a wonder if the baby is
not infected with some disease.
We feel that if this mother could
have changed places for only a
few minutes with her child it
would be some time before she
again left her baby to the tor
lures of these merciless pests.

A SAD ACCIDENT
Roisland Killed by
Freight Near Kloten Last
Saturday.

Last Saturday afternoon just
as the local passenger train was
about to pull out from the Kloten
depot, Halvor Roisland, a pros
porous farmer of Lee township,
living a mile north and a half
mile west of Kloten, came from
the elevators and walked up the
track towards the depot, all the
while looking at the passenger
train when a fast west bound
freight came up from behind him
and struck him, killing him in
stantly. The engineer of the
! passenger saw the danger the
+, man was in and blew the whistle
but that only deadened the noise
of the oncoming train. The un.
fortunate man never knew what
hit him; he was a little hard oil
hearing, and that, with the noise
of the whistle, was in a great
measure the cause of his being
run over. He was badly crush
ed; his left arm was broken anC
his skull crushed. The body
was dragged about sixty feet

had left the barn, when they
heard a roaring noise and on
looking out, the barn was discov-
cred to be a mass of flames.
Nothing was saved except one
horse which broke loose itself
from it's fastening and ran out
of the burning structure. How
the fire started is a mystery.
Mr.. REMEDIAL carried $1,400 in
surance on the barn in the Trail
Co. Farmers Mutual. 1t could
not be replaced for less than
50, OO A curious thing is that
this fire follows after the fire
last week which wiped out the
barn and nineteen horses of Mr..
Renedal's near neighbor, J. o.
Staupe, while a few days before
that and only a few miles distant
occurred the fire which burned
the barn and cremated Z horses
on Ole Boss's farm. -Mayville
