MADE FOR GREAT TIME ON
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Fargo, N. D., Feb. 2.-There is going
to be great time in Fargo next Sat.
urday night when the spanish-Ameri-
can war veterans arrive in the city and
take possession Of the town. A large
force will enter and capture the city of
Fargo and Mayor Lowell will have to

representation and special train will
leave that thriving city to the west at
2 O'Clock in the afternoon and arrive
here at Z clock in the evening so thar
the vets can march up Broadway to the
meeting place at Prizes hall. When
Valley City entertained the veterans
two years ago, the members of Co. B
made big swoop down on the hosts
there and showed them what Fargo
could do in the way of helping enter
tain the crowd so the Valley City boys
are going to reciprocate this year. And
those Valley City boys certainly know
how to enjoy themselves while visiting.
Fargo is glad to welcome all the
Spanish veterans and no one will find
any one inhospitable. The boys Of
Co. B have plenty of ammunition, the
commissary has been we'll taken care of
and talk about entertainment, why the
best is always in Fargo, the metropo-

HOMEsTEADER FIRED INTO THE
HOUSE FOLLOWING GIRLS
REFUSAL TO DANCE.

Bowman, N. D., Feb. Erasmus
House, a homesteader about twolve
miles south Of town, near Spring Val.
ley, created a stir Of excitement in
that neighborhood at dance at the
!Jenning Hanson place by firing a re-
volver point blank into the crowd.
1t appears that House, who is a.
ready twice a widower, conferred his
attentions upon a young lady at the
dance and it is supposed to have been
her refusal to dance with him that
caused him to fire the shot.
Just as the dance was about to break
up, House left the building and hitched
up his team. He then returned and
fred a shot into the crowd. The bull
let struck the wall just few inches
from the head of one of the musicians.
House then ran to his team and drove
home.
Upon a warrant charging him with
shooting with intent to do bodily harm
he was brought into town by Deputy
Sheriff Anderson. He has not been
given any formal hearing and remains
undecided as to what his plea will be
He claims that he only wanted to shoot
out the light and "rcturn the insult. y

Suffolk, set sail from the headlands Of
California for the channel.
At break of day on June of the fol-
lowing year she fell in sight of the
Island of st. Helena, on July 8 she
crossed the line, and, after holding the
brave trade winds to the limit of forty
degrees north latitude, recovered the
long wished for port of Plymouth on
September z, 1888. Not much better
could have been expected from the
ships and their equipment.
The sailing master of the Desire,
thought it worthy of record that run
ming merrily before the wind under
all the sail she could carry his vessel
comprised 40 miles between noon and
noon, boast which would expose the
modern shipmaster to the derision of
his companions in every ship chand-
lcr's shop of the ports he frequented.
Among some extraordinary voyages
made by deep sea sailing craft within
recent years there may be mentioned
that of the Beacon Rock, cngagd on a
short coastal trip between two Aus
tralian ports. After all hope Of her
safe arrival had been abandoned she
turned up at Talcahuano, Chilli, some
5000 miles from her intended destina
ton. Being in light trim and conse-
quently with no grip on the water, she
had been unable to make any progress
against persistent head wind, and
her master had been compelled to
square yards and make fair wind Ct
it across the broad Pacific.
| Another large four-master bark, the
Buteshire, had the remarkable expert
ence last year of circling around the
MINDLESS Gulf of Panama like a circus
horse until she was obliged to put back
ninety days out and short of provis-
ions, to her port of departure. It may,
however, be an exaggeration that the
light house keepers i'll the gulf fell
into the habit of regulating their cal
endars by her appearances.

NORTH DAKOTA MAN -
SOME BEER DRINKER.

Mandan, N. D., Feb. 2.-Evidence
Of the fact that there are some thirsty
people in North Dakota was furnish
ed in the district court of Moron
county when the Northern Pacific de-
pot agent at Glen Ullin, George Ling
produced records which showed mat
one individual had received $4,000
bottles of beer in year. In the re.
ceiving Of this beer it was declared
that the product was for "personal
use."
Stasticians have figured out that the
recipient Of that amount Of liquor
would have to drink on an average of
slightly more than forty-five quarts a
day to dispose Of the entire amount.
