News from the North'Weat•
Capt, Woods, of Loudon Township,
who left for the fear West, two weeks
ago, via Duluth, scuds the following to
the Loudon Free Press :-
Winnipeg, June 30.
Ninth does quite a business in lum-
ber, a good deal of which ie' sent to
London, Ont, Itnatome quantities of
:nee] rails were beieg unloaded from
the boats on Suntltty. From Duluth
to erlyuden the oountry has a very wild
and deserted appearance, with very few
settlements, Around Glynden there is
a good forming country, rolling prairie
lent(, good buildings and fine looking
crops. After leaving Glynden, which
is at the junction of the Northern Pacific
and i t, L'sul and Pacific, the oountry is
a level prairie, a great portion of it
being unfit for forming, as it is too low
and lift. Sometimes we would pass
ever 15 or 20 miles without peeing any
sign of civilization. At St. Vincent we
took the (;oat down Red River, and ar-
rived t►t Wiuuipeg, at 10.80, on the

as much business done Bore any day as
Lore is in London, ttiid this is consider-

On Thursday afternoon Wne. N.
Ryland, of London 'Township, commit-
ted suicide in his brother's barn, in a
most determined manner. He was
widely knowu, acid although perfectly
harmless and gniet, was generally re-
garded as being of unsound mind. On
the afternoon in question he had par-
taken of a hearty dinner and appeared
to be in the best of spirits. About five
and with the other belabored his de-
fenceless victim with a long stink.
After beating him with the latter, he
became unconscious, and the young
man dragged the body several hundred
yards to a creek, into which he threw
the body. The cold water immedi-
tely restored the viotim to conscious-
ness, and his cries for assistance ate

end happened, fortunately, to be pass-

process of the law. A warrant has
been issued for the arrest of the yolith.
hours afterwards his body was found
hanging by the neck from a rope strung
over one of the stall partitions. It was
evident that death bad resulted from
strangulation, as he was in a sitting
posture when found. Under the cir-
cumatences it was deemed unnecessary
to bold au inquest.

connected with the catastrophe; Me.
Tate, who was fishing in the Vicinity
and was an eye -witness of the explosion,
hurried to the wreck with ars intention,
of rescuing any unfortunate that might
need succor. His search among the
debris resulted in discovering a lady
imprisoned the rear cabin in the only
portion of the boat that was not blown
almost to atoms. Some six feet of
the stern was left uninjured, and the
roof above had been driven down: mid
in here the lady was found. As 8btu
as Mr. Tate discovered her condition
he put his boat np to the only renfaitl-
ing window, and, atter some persever-
ance and the exorcise of a little neces-
sary force, he induced her to crawl
trough the aperture into the boat.
