HAPPENINGS
HEREJND THERE
Onamia.—Izatys has a number
of beautiful summer liouses, and
several large and handsome
building's are under construction. The entire country in the
vicinity of Cove shows many
wonderful improvements during;
the past two years.
St. Cloud— H. C. Aiders, general agent of the International
Harvester company, has just returned from an inspection tour
of the territory from St. Cloud
to Brown's Valley and reports
that this part of the state will
get a good normal cropthisyear
if the weather conditions stay
favorable.
St. Cloud.—Robbers entered
the stores of tiie Metzroth Clothing cpmpany and the Powell
Hardware company here during
Saturday night, rifled the cash
registers of $10 and took about
$50 in merchandise. Two sus
picious characters, who visited
both stores during the day, tire
being sought by the officials.
Moose Lake. — An unknown
man was badly mutilated here
today on the N. P. railroad,
while attempting- to board the
fast freight passing through
town. About the center of the
train he grabbed a hold of one
of the bars on the box car and
was pulled under the train. One
foot was badly mutilated, back
badly hurt and injured internally.
St. Cloud—A petition in bankruptcy has been filed with the
authorities at Fergus Fails, by
Nicholas Lambert, St. Cloud's
pioneer saloon man, who conducted the California Wine
House here for many years. In
his petition for bankruptcy Mr.
Lambert places his assets at
$8,676.25 and his liabilities 8,-
774.90, apparently making the
petition tiled for $98.65.
An near auto accident happened to AVm. Hohn Tuesday
night on the old railroad right-
of-way, between Sartell and
Rice. He turned his car to one
side of the grade to permit another car to pass and the car
started to slide down grade. E.
F. Meyers of St. Cloud who was
in front of him experienced the
same trouble but his car was removed without much difficulty.
Mr. Holm's car, however, seemed
to be buried more deeply in the
sand and it took several hours
before it could be extricated.
The bank is very steep at this
point and it is by mere chance
that the car did not turn over.
Belgrade, July 20th.— A peculiar accident occurred at the
Soo line station at this place
when Mrs. Mary Thelen was in
stantly killed by the Soo flyer,
train No. 108. Mrs. Thelen and
Mrs. Joe Munzhuber of this village were walking on the depot
platform waiting for train No.
Ill, as Mrs. Thelen was going
to Mahnomen, Minn. Apparently Mrs. Thelen was near the

COUNTY SEAT
(From the Litte Falls Transcript.)
A. F. Kerich has been reappointed janitor at the court
house for the ensuing year by
the board of couuty commissioner.
Ludger Gaudet died Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at
his home, 210 Third street northeast. He had been ill for about
two month. Death was caused
by hypertrophic hepatic cirrhosis with complications of the
stomach and oesophagus.
Chief of Police Larson received
a letter Thursday morning from
a Minneapolis newspaper warning him to be on the lookout for
a young' man who is traveling
over southern and central Minnesota collecting newspaper
subscriptions.
A man who gaA'e his name as
Jimmie McCann of Pensylvania
was picked up in the railroad
yards Wednesday evening after
he had either been struck by a
train or fallen from one which
he had attempted to board. He
had some bad cuts on the head
and claimed that his back was
injured, but the doctor was of
the opinion that the latter injury was mostly imagination.
A begger, minus both legs,
gave the police some trouble
Tuesday morning on Broadway
when he was ordered out of
town. The man was first noticed by Mayor Fortier, who at
once told him to move. The
begger, however, flatly refused
to do anything and began cursing the mayor and everybody
within hearing. Chief of Police
Larson was obliged to throw
the man into-an automobile and
take him to the West side to be
shipped out of the city.
Three new bridges are to be
built in Morrison county, two
over tlie Platte river near Rice
lake and one to replace the old
bridge over the Little Elk river
near what is known as the Morrill place. Bids were received
for the construction of the two
Platte river bridges by the
county commissioners at their
late session. Peter Poster was
awarded the contract for building the smaller of the two
bridges and all bids for the
other were rejected. This is
the long bridge near the B. Burton farm. The reason for the
rejection of the bids was that
all were considered too high and
some of them did not conform
to the Minnesota state highway
commission specifications.

North Dakota Prohibition.
The matter of re-submission
seems now to be forever dead in
North Dakota. One of the candidates for governor was brought
out by those in favor of re-submission and his friends were so
active in his behalf as to alarm
both of the factions of the party
to a considerable extent, indeed
to such a degree, that one of the
larger dailies predicted that the
Re-submission candidate would
