Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1883-1884, 1883-05-25

To any man owning not more than
$50 acres of decided land the increased
amount of taxes for court house will
he less than 81. Vote for bonds.
j. F. Booth, of Boothtown, Barnes
county, was in the metropolis of Griggs
yesterday, and was that we'll pleased
that he contemplates investing in town
property.
1t is for every mans interest who
has the good of Griggs county at heart
to vote eyes on the bond proposition,
and thus end the struggles of the un-
scrupulous politicians who seek division.
Services hereafter will be held reg
ularly twice every Sunday in Coopers-
town. The morning service at 1890 and
the evening service at the usual hour.
1t is expected that church will be held
in the new hotel or the school house next
Sunday.
To build a court house valued at
$4,000 the increased tax on every quar-
ter section OF proved upland in the coun-
ty would be less than so cents. not con-
sidering the fact of the constantly in
creasing amount of town and personal
property. Vote for bonds.
While enroute from Jack n. Brown S
farm to b. B. Browns homestead with
load of hay. Wednesday afternoon
during the storm. Geo. Mccormick and
NJ. j. Newson saw a fair sized buffalo.
They were quite close to the wild OK
before it took fright and sped for the
Sheye1me woods, but had no rifles with
which to drop the beast. Cunning par
/ ties are now in order.
1T is narrow minded to allege that
YOU do not propose to vote bonds. as il
will so largely enhance the value of the
Cooper farm at public expense. Cooper
Bros. land will increase in value ut nc
greater ratio than that of any othermen
and then they not only offer site but
will have at least One-tenth of the entire
cost to stand. They must pay fully fol
their portion of the benefit, as every foo
of their property is taxable.
Monday about midnight mob o
eight men entered Frederick Pefferkorn'
shanty, near Lake Jessie, bound hin
and his wife, covered the babes with tn,
blankets taken from the father ant
mother, when they proceeded to deliber
ately tear down the house. 1t is charged
that Petferkorn was on Mccullough
claim, and that he was simply receiving
a polite bnt emphatic invitation to va
NOSE the premises. No further violence
we understand. was used.
1t is as amusing as it is absurd t.
note the Pioneers attempts to moraliZ'
on the recent disappearance of the Trail
county records. and convert the same
into an argument for the division o
Griggs county. Hopes paper. it is no
ticeable, has never reproached the gang
of rutiians who by force of arms burglar
lied Griggs of it's records. and mad,
near ST. ,OOO expense to thecomlty. Con
sistency is q rare jewel over in the south
east corner.
Nelson 4 Langlie are opening up il
their spacious store as fine display Of
