THE FABLE OF THE
YOUNG MUSICIAN AND
VILLAGE PROPHETS

Once upon time in a sleepy little
village there lived young man whose
desire was to become great musician.
While other children played marbles
and hop-scotch, he stayed indoors and
practiced his lesson on a violin. His
solo at the high school commencement
was enchored and the visiting orator
from the state university who made the
address at the exercises complemented
it highly.
After the affair was over, several
excellent opportunities were offered
the budding Kublick. Old man Sim
monds offered him a position as de-
livery boy for the Simmond's grocery;
Bill Brown presented him with an offer
of position as clerk in the Brown con-
fectionery, ard the directors of the
Glen Hollow school told him that If he
would attend summer normal he could
have the honor of teaching the Glen
Hollow children during the winter term
When he refused all these generous
offers, many dire prophecies were
made. And when he boarded train
one day with his beloved violin and O
canvas telescope full of clothes the
townspeople grew very much alarmed
and whispered strange and ominous
forebodings.
Six years later the town woke uI
sufficiently to hold chautauqua, and
when the program was announced in
the Weekly Horn the face OF the former
resident was seen. The paper an
nounced that Mr.. Blanque, one Of the
foremost violinists Of the day woult
positively play at every concert.
The day for the hero's arrival came
The hero himself appeared on the
scene. He played his best for his ole
friends and neighbors, and they ap
plauded generously. After it was al
over Old Man Simmonds went up to the
platform and shook hands with the
home-comer and by way of congratula
tons said you've got so you kin fiddle
real well, but if you ever git rheumatic
in yer fingers yew'll wish ye had took
that job l offered we before yew left
home"
MORAL-All prophecies come to pass
in the eyes of the prophet.

Time for Notification Ex-
tended in "COrn Contest.

Owing to the backwardness of the
season coupled with the early fair date
it has been decided to extend the time
for notification of intention to exhibit
in the Corn Contest at the Charlevoix
Co. Fair, from August LIST to August 20.
It has developed that quite a number
have deferred making any notification
because of their uncertainty that the
corn would ripen in time for the fair
This is mistake however, all that are
interested in this Corn Contest should
notify me at once regardless Of whether
the crop may mature in time or not
for upon the interest manifested thi.
year will largely depend the continu
ance of contests of this kind. II you
have the crop under cultivation please
notify me at once that you intend t.
make the best display possible.

CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE
SHOOT FLEEING MURDERER

One man is dead and the other
|dying as a result of shooting scrape
which took place just across the Can
adam boundary north of Larson last
Saturday afternoon. A farmer from
across the line came to Larson with
his hired man, transient and an I.
W. w., and after figuring up their &C
counts the men settled up, and the
transient was given check in pay
ment of all he claimed he had coming.
The man had been working for the
farmer for some time and they always
got along lovely. Even at the time
the settlement was made the transient
stated that he was so well pleased
with his dealings with the farmer that
he desired to 60 back and work for
him some more. Before starting for
home again the transient bought re-
volver and supply Of ammunition.
When they left town both seemed to
be perfectly contented with their lot
and very friendly. AS soon as the
Canadian boundary was crossed, how
ever, the transient drew his gun and
pointed it at the farmer and fired five
shots into his body, at the same time
saying, "Now I've got you where l
want you" The transient left the
farmer in the wagon box and the
horses brought the rig home, while
the murderer started on run across
the fields. The shooting took place
only about a quarter Of mile from
the farmers home. AS soon as the
shooting was discovered States Attor-
ney Hanson and Sheriff Heath of Bow
/ bells were notified as were also the
Canadian mounted police. The farmer
was not dead up to late Saturday ev-
ening, but all hopes Of his recovery
had been given up. While the neigh
borhood was on the lookout for the
transient the same evening, a tele-
phone message was received here to
the effect that the murderer had been
shot dead by mounted policeman
while resisting arrest.

While Burlington unquestionably
holds the record in North Dakota for

Sawyer has claims for honors in wheat
production that deserves recognition.
J. F. Booth, who lives one and, one
half miles east of Sawyer raised an
average of So bushels per acre on a
field comprising 60 acres. Crops of
corn and beans had been raised on this
tract the year before. The wheat is
absolutely free from foul seeds of any
kind, no wild oats even. Farmers for
miles around are coming to Mr.. Booth
for seed wheat. Mr.. Booth threshed
over 1000 bushels of grain from 1876

instantly.
