CHRIST BUCK
Died YESTERDAY

Grand Forks, n. D., Feb. 9.-After
lying in st. Michaers hospital in this
city for over six months almost en-
tirely paralyzed, Christ Buck, who was
shot through the neck in a hotel Mt
Edinburg early last August, passed
away at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Tuesday night Mr.. Buck had a bad
sinking spell, but at noon Wednesday
he rallied and was much better during
the afternoon. Yesterday afternoon,
however, he grew worse again and in
an hour died.
Mr.. Buck was shot by AN insane
Finlander, who afterwards killed him
self. The man came into the hotel
at Edinburg and went onto the second
floor where Mr.. Buck had his ONCE.
and commenced shooting. Mr.. Buck
stepped to the door to see what was
going on, and the Finlander turned on
him and shot him through the neck,
the bullet severing the spinal cord.
The man then turned the gun on him
self, killing himself almost instantly.
Mr.. Buck was Immediately removed
to st. Michaels hospital in this city,
where he was confined until the time
of his death. During all that time ne
was under the almost constant care of
a trained nurse.
General Treumann Of Grafton, a close
friend of Mr.. Buck, arrived in the city
last evening to take charge of the
remains. He will take them to Edin-
burg Saturday morning, where the
funeral will be held that afternoon.
Mr.. Treumann was one of the closest
friends Mr.. Buck possessed and visited
him a number Of times during the past
six months. He was infomed OF Mr..
Bucks sinking spell Tuesday night
and came to Grand Forks the next
day. He was with Mr.. Buck all Tues
day night. Yesterday at 8 o'clock he
was informed that Mr.. Buck was again
low and took the next train for this
city. In the meantime his friend pass
ed away.
Despite the fact that his body, from
the upper part Of the chest down, was
paralyzed and that he knew death was
inevitable, Mr.. Buck never lost his hap
Ply His continued cheerful
ness throughout all his trouble was
remarkable. When visited by q friend,
he always had q smile for him and
was able to keep UP q cheerful con-
~versation throughout. ven Thurs
day afternoon, after he had rallied
from q bad sinking spell, which he
undoubtedly knew brought death very
near, he kept up his happy manner
during the entire time.
Another remarkable thing in con-
nection with his a Is that he trans
acted all his real estate and loan bust
ness from his room in the hospital. IN
this, he was assisted by his nurse,
Miss M. L. Mccullough, who wrote ali
the letters he dictated. Mr.. Buck was
able to use his right arm a great deal,
and this helped him in the transac-i
ton Of HIS business. His left arm was,
however practically helpless.
Mr.. Buck Was n Of the most popu-
lar and best known men Of Walsh.

GAIN IN NEBRASKA VALUATION
Increase of Million and Half in Rail-
road Terminal Property.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 9.-The state
board of assessment has eQualiZed the
value of railroad terminal property for
assessment at $1,579,36 higher than
the equalized value as fixed by the
board last year. This property is as
sessed for local purposes for the bene-
fit of cities and villages where it is
situated. While this increase appears
to be substantial, the fact must be
taken into consideration that land
values throughout the state have been
greatly increased this ear. Under the
terminal tax law railroad right of way
must be increased in value when ada
cent lands or lots are increased by as
SCISSORS.
The total value of railroad property
in cities and villages last year was
$40, 2S5,192. This year it is $11,S64,
561. This includes the value of fran
chises and rolling stock apportioned to
the mileage in cities and villages. IN
towns where land values were in
creased by assessors the railroad COM
panies made little or no objection to
an increase of the valuation of their
right of way for local assessment.
