The news that he must die on August 30 paying penalty for the killing of his wife at Cass Lake last winter. was broken to Chou- nard last Saturday, although the matter has been kept somewhat quiet and has not gained general circulation. Mr. Hardy received the official notification of the action of the governor in the case on Satur- day, and on Saturday evening af- ter the meal went to Chounard’s cell to break the news. Not an altogether pleasant task and Mr. Hardy said today that he was about as much moved, he thought as Chounard himself. Chounard rather expected what was coming and a look of strange anxiety came over his face as the minion of the law.read the document which set the date of execution. He caught the gist of the communication and then buried his face in his hands and wept bitterly. He was very much overcome and it is thought he will be a complete wreck be- fore the day of the hanging. DIED AT BRAINERD Mrs. M. Achenbach, 0ld Resident of Bemidii, Dies in Brain- erd Hospital.

Nelson, of Fertile, vs.| of the most sensational divorce| case ever tired in Crookston| which is now occupying the at-, tention of Judge Watts of the district court. As aresult of the trial the evidence is of a somewhat spicy nature. In his complaint Dr. Nelson accuses his wife of cruel and in- human treatment and recitesa long list of occasions upon which he has been cruelly handled by his better half. He maintains that life with his chosen compan- ion is a torture and asks that the marriage bonds be severed. 1n her answer Mrs. Nelson presents a document which is highly sen- sational and exceedingly spiey. She accuses her husband of inebriacy, the addiction of some pecuilar drug habit, the use of various improper things in domestic life and insists that she has in every way seryed her husband in a faithful manner such as becomes a true wife. The trial of the case occupied all of yesterday and will probably not be completed until this even- Fertile, is attorney for Dr. Nel- Hagen, of Crookston and H. L. Mrs. Nelson’s interests.

MeCarty, Dubuque Builder, Tells of Company’s Plans For the Work. The new Leech Lake & North- ern, to be built north of Cass Lake, from the northern shores of Leech lake, will handle 100,- 000,000 feet of pine timber,a traffic in which the Great North- ern will share. The logs cut in the section which the new line will tap, will be delivered to the Great Northern and dumped into the Mississippt at Swan River, to be brought down by the log drivers and rafted from upper Mississippi rafting works to the mills at Dubugue and other river points. N. H. McCarty, of Dubuque, one of the owners of the lumber corporation, which will build the line, said of the new line: “We received our charter only two months ago and are already laying steel on a portion of the new line. The line will cross the Great Northern, six miles east of Cass Lake village, where a new town named Cuba has been started. We have 100,000,000 feet of pine which we will take out over the line we are building, and under our contracts, will leave 5 per cent of the timber standing, for forestry purposes. The country will be subjected to reforestation experiments after we are through -cutting the timber.” Annual Sale. The Ladies’ Aid society of the Scandinavian Lutheran church will hold their annual sale and supper tomorrow evening, in the building on Third street formerly occupied by the Fair store.
