A NICE
How one Of the Maginnlst Organs at Glen
dive Cha1acterlzes the Contest in
Dawson County.

There viii be d contest for the local
Offices in Dawson county on the grounds
of general frauds at theee1ection and nu-
smerous irregularities in the returns. The
Times, a democratic Maginnis organ,
takes the side of the l."'outs' and boldly
AYERS that the election was a farce, and
as Maginnis' majority can't be over
turned, that paper wants to go behind
the returns and get its ticket through.
Here is a specimen brick:
81. Glendive precinct alone polled 545
votes Indicating a population OF three to
four thousand people. Any one notnec-
essarily up tree" can at o~neesseetf1at
there is fraud somewhere, and we boldly
assert that in our opinion theresls not
over 800 legal votes in said precinct. Inc
instances Of fraud are too numerous, IN
fact the whole thingis SO plain that lis
unnecessary to enun1erate any here.
Suffice it to say that the different7ohices
will be contested not only on II ground
but on all; that assurance may be made
doubly sure. There never was a clearer
ease of fraud nor q better chance for 8
| contest than the present, and any set OF
men who would not Go it in the interest
| Of tllecounty would indeed be 'chumps,
and undeserving the confidence and re-
speet of the county's tax payers. Ii such
bold and unprincipled tranlpllng on the
| rights of men can be tolerated now,
there would be no chance for a Kick on
its repetition two years hence.
The editor knew this all the time, ever
since election day, but he kept mum"
until he knew Maginnis was saved by
the graders further up the line, as note
the following:
We could have stated before, the con
duct of the election, the frauds perpetra'
ted and about the number of illegal votes
cast. but RETAINED from doing so up te
the last minute for fear OF inJurlng tht
cause of Maginnis, whom we have
worked for as strenuously as any mar II
Dawson county. But now tina a case
il settled askfar as ne islconcerned, an6
they either will Or villa not contest II
spite Of us, we come to n front DolulN
and without feargOr. malice.
In view Of these facts should not Al
Hamilton, who is the honestly electet
councilman from this district, contest 10
the seat, with Back, as he can easll.
make good his claim? The vote OF tn
Glendive precinct should not be count
ed for either Maginnis or Bach, and Al
Hamilton should take his seat IN tn
council.

The music started up promptly at 3
o'clock, and the IAEightsan and their guests
filed down from the pailors to the ball
room and up and around the hall in the
grand march, led by Mr.. s. Kohlberg
and Miss Maud Waterman, at the con-
clusion of which sets were formed and
the dancing commenced and was kept
UP without cessation until midnight,
when the parlors were again soughtand
in a very short time supper was an
nounced. After supper the tables were
cleared away with great celebrity, and
dancing was resumed and continued
until nearly 4 o'clock.
In speaking Of the ball we must put
in q word for the music furnished by
Messrs. Mcdonald, Gunther and Groes-
beck. aided by Master Eddy ShultZ's
flute. It was most excellent; in fact,
better music was never had at a ball in
Benton.
The supper, gotten up by tire Grand
Union, was very complete, and the pro
prietors, with Alex. Martin, Henry
Courtney and their assistants have rea-
son TO be proud Of both the quality OF
the supper and the dispatch and manner
in which it was served.
Taking the ball in al its arrangements
and pleasantries, we believe it has never
yet been equaled here, and many will
look with pleasant anticipation to the
next one announced under the auspices
Of Crescent lodge.

General Manager Van Horne, of the

northern route said that the iron was
still going down at the rate OF two OF

a point north of Cypress Hills, $50 miles

was completed to within nfty-five miles
Of the Saskatchewan, and that the track
would be completed 61O miles west OF
Winnipeg before the close Of the year;
that the summit of the Rocky noun

ironed next season. Mr.. Van Horne is

A. New Road to Barker.

The building of the new Belt creek
bridge, insuring q safe crossing of that
stream at all seasons, has revived the
proposition of making that the principal
rood from Benton to Barker, and steps
to perfect the arrangements have already
been taken. John Cashier is about to
build another bridge across the Belt at
his place, and we understand that the
work of improving the road up Otter
creek to the junction with the present
road at Mann's has already commenced,
considerable money Tor that purpose
having been subscribed at Barker and
by other parties interested. We under
stand that the proposed new route is
shorter and the road a much better one,
as several bad hills are avoided.
