THE St. Vincent fair opens to-day, but
the day of importance will be tomorrow.
The Hallock and Pembina bands will
furnish music.
T. E. RUSSELL, traveling freight agent
of the C. P. R., and brother of our elec
tric light proprietor, is in the city, visiting
relatives. Mr. Russell's headquarters is
in Detroit, Michigan.
MR. GOODMAN, of Fossten, brother of
John Goodman, formerly of this place,
has accepted a position with Edward
Piche. Mr. Goodman is a practical
butcher and no doubt will be a popular
man.
MRS. WINCHESTER left last evening
via: the Great Northern for her home in
Minneapolis. Mrs. Winchester was well
pleased with the crops on her farms. A
good portion of her crop went No. 1
hard.
WE are in receipt of a sample copy of
The Times, of Los Angeles, Cal., pro
fusely illustrated, and showing up the
Southern California mining interests in
good shape. Klondike in all its splendor
could not be shown up in better shape.
THE immense los". of life and proper
ty in Manitoba last Sunday, bv prairie
fires is certainly a sufficient warning to.
our own farmers, and yet there are
doubtless many farmers still thinking
that "tomorrow they will plow that
break.,'
JUDGE SaUter held chambersyesterday.
Only a few attorneys wete present. The
only business done was to adjourn court
until the 25th and set cases for that date.
The first case set was that of the drain
age business of Kevins vs. County Com
missioners and other court cases will fol
low thereafter inrotatlon.
STEPS are beipg taken to incorporate
the C|ti^ens J}ank of Walhalla. Among
the stockholders are N. R. Burley, J. T.

THE beautiful weather of the last two
months is a subject of conversation even
among those who have lived here long
enough to expect our usual fine fall
weather. The only difficulty with the
present season, is*that it is too pleasant,
it is too dry. It is almost two 'months
since we have had a respectable shower
and everything is very dry.
A.' J. MCPA»IBT», of Necfce, came in
from Joliette last evening where he had
been looking after wheat shipments.
He left this morning for Welford, where
he will act as auctioneer in the The*.
Roadhouse sale that started this after
noon at one o'clock. Mr. McFaddett is
getting to be one of the most popular
auctioneers in the county.'
TELEGRAMS from Thief River Falls
state that the sheriff there had picked up
and was holding a man and horse. The
latter being the horse stokenfrom C.
church nearGrvstal. Mr. Church lost a
grey pony ok Sept 15th andSept 20tb a
team of horses was also stolen from him.
It is the pony that had been found ah(
Sheriff Brown will probably 1eav^ to-dky
or tomorrow to get the man.
"MORE'N forty" folks from Pembina
took advantage of last night's beautifu
evening and drove to the "Harvest Home
Festival" at: the residence of J. D. Mc
Cauley in Joliette. There Wfeife About
one hundred and fifty people present
and the accomodations were ample.
The. Joliette people are noted for their
hospitality and last night they' excellei
themselves. The supper spread was
simply superb. The literary and musica
program was .rendered by Pembina* peo
ple and consisted of musical^ selections
by the Short Orchestra and little Clan
Ryan, songs by the male quartette of the
M. E. choir and solo by Geo. Douglas,
recitations by James Wardwell, Mi*
SwiUer and Mrs. Harris and Harry Carr

Miss THOMPSON daughter of R.
Thompson, photographer, of Drayton, is
visiting Miss Myrtle McQuinn.
O. C. OLSON, merchant of Drayton
came down on the N. P. this morning on
business with Geo. McQuinn.
JUDGE Sauter has ?ust returned from
Iowa where he had been to settle some
business matters for his father-in-law who
has been seriously ill for some time.
CHAS. EDWARDS came in from Drayton
this morning and reports that the author
ities have arrested and have in jail at Dray
ton, the forger, Thompson's partner and
the one who is supposed to have raised
the check that Thompson passed.
The prisoner will probably be brought
down tomorrow.
MARSHAL Jackson of Neche brought
over, to-day, Louis Mayo, son of Chas.
Mayo of Neche, a boy of sixteen years,
who was found guilty in justice court of
stealing ten dollars from Stephen Dou
ville. He has thirty days t6 serve.
This is not his first offence. Marshal
Chambers of Gretna was with Mr. Jack
son and they are looking for a Mennon
ite woman who has run away from her
husband.
ONE John Biglow, who has been work
ing near Drayton for some time, was ar
rested yesterday for stealing* a coat
from N. W. Caldwell. The detective
work and chase was quite romantic.
Mr. Biglow stole the coat several weeks
ago and hid it in the weeds near the barn.
Mr. Caldwell, who had several men in
liis employ, found the coat, but left it and
hired a man to keep watch, resulting in
Biglow's arrest. ^Justice VanCamp
gave him ten days and $10 fine. Attor
ney Corwin appeared for the state, and
Robert Ferguson for the prisioner.
THE Neche Chronotype^ays that W.
J. Watts, of Bay Center, has consented
to the use of his name before the fourth
district commissioner convention at
Neche next Saturday. This is the first
notice we have had to'the effect, but we
have known Mr. Watts for a number of
ars—and never anything to his discred
it. He has always had a position on the
St. Joseph-township "board, is an able
man in every way and is thoroughly re
liable. Mr. Watts, if he is the choice of
die people, will make a good, officer and
—Ihe people will have made np mistake.
—Mountaineer.
SOMEBODY, last night, went tor the store,
house attached, to die residence of F. A.
Wardwell and with malice, aforethought,
feloniously and otherwise criminally, re
moved and took away ,to-wit We and one
half loaves of freshtbaked bread and six
biscuits, also one .tablecloth.. 'The latter

mittee asked for two things first an ap
propriation, or failing that, that the as
sessment now standing against Bathgate
township for $500 be applied to the ex
tension and improvement asked for, and
worked out by the township this fall.
iW commissioners expressed as their
opinion, that the extension was evidently
a necessity but they could not see their
way clear to grant an appropriation at
present, because they, had but little mon
ey, and there was some question as to
its being legal. Also, the dijtch if ex
tended thtough Bathgate township
would also have to be extended a mile
and a half into Neche township in order
to find a natural: outlet. The commis
sioners however, were unanimous in
their opinion that they could not do any
thing for the present, because the ditch
matter is in litigation and the /bofudj ob

any work on the ditch until the courts
settle the fact whether the ditch belong^

The St. Vinoent Fair.
NEXT Friday St Vincent will just do
the grand fair act. Two band aggrega
tions, one from Hallock and one from
Pembina will evoke harmony out of
rivalry, and you can fill your pockets full
of sweet sounds and take them home to
grease the buck-saw or feed a mule.
Then there will be vegetables galore, and
the vegets are very able over in Kittson
county this year, they tell us. There
will be pumps and pumpkins though the
latter are no kin to the former, and the
former are imported at great cost as
curiosities for St. Vincent people to see.
There will be two large wind mills in
circulation, one on the G. N. tank and
another—well, we wiil wait until next
week before we tell anything about the
location of the other, as we want to see
the fair—and we are afraid the New Era
force would take the opportunity to mob
us. There will be the usual variety of
"sports," several specimen from Hallock,
Donaldson and Pembina. You can tell
them by the color ot their neckties and
the angle at which they wear their hats.
The most famous sport of -all, the one
from Hallock, with a tall hat, long-tailed
Prince Albert coat, and -a sliort-tailed
curly moustache under his .nose, is un
fortunately engaged at home this year
taking care of a bran new baby. There
will however be much more room for
other people. His partner, who as yet
has no baby to tend, is sure to be on the
spct at least we think it his regular day
to go to the fair. """s
The races are sure to be of interest
Nearly all of the races efithe American
and European continents will be. repre
sented, both pure-bred and the mixed
varieties. The fair is bound to be of the
wide (iperi style because -one of its
prinap il officers is a Deaoon, while an
other G1 tmbles for a living and the
treasur is Adam good man too. Oh,
you can get everything you \want and
see a good deal more than that if you go
to die fair at St. Vincent P. S. Take
some of the fair with you you wlll fare
better'if you do. ,....

The remains
of
the Icelandic girl, Lera
GudmanSson, were buried yesterday
from the Icelandic church, and a large.
Congregation
were present Rev. Mr.
Sigurdsson offidated. Previous to the
:ft»eeal^« postmortem ^examination was
held by Dr." LaBerge of Grafton'and Dr..
Clarke has Hafris of this city. While nothing
finite has been given out, it is probably
f^ftain that.death was caused by mis
^iriage b)it whether induced by drugs,
or if so, by whom administered, is yet a
matter of investigation. Dr. Halldorson
ot Park River is said to have been the
attending physician during her illness,
and'his testimony will probably throw
consideirkble lig^it on'the di^e. The girl
Was nedt and good looking iaitd a gener

her acquaintances here were much sur

JEfarit River,- where it was not supposed
that she had any friends. It is under*
stood that further investigation mil be
.maide, A peculiar drcumstance in this
case is that ,Dr. Haidorson is himself the
.coroner of.Walsh county, and in case of
an inquest, wouid be the proper party to
conduct the investigation.. The cause of
death, which had to be placed, upon a
card attached to the box that contained
the remains, was ..undedpherable, and
