rash assertion? Aha! A light breaks,
Well, accept our congratulations, Davy.
MT Casselman reached here
from the Capital Monday evening. He
brought down with him Charles A. Swan
son, Adolph Anderson, Nagnus Ander-
son, and Ernest T. Mungerson, of Red
wing, Mimi, who will locate few miles
from town. They report that several
others from the same city will be here in

Commissioners Clayton and Childs were
here Monday and Tuesday, attending the
session of the Board. The Third District
Commissi oner, during his official visits to
Williamsport, has won the respect of ev-
cry one whom he has met and it will ia se

the Third District chose wisely. !
Otto Fischer, special agent at Bismarck
for the Franz Falk Brewing Co. (Mil-
waukee) Beer, Shas largely increased the
sale on the Missouri Slope of this un-
rivaled beverage. He wants Emmons-
county dealers to call on HIM before lay
ing in stock, as he will "leave no stone
unturned" to secure their trade; and,
once secured, he has no fear of losing it.
Landlord Walker has the addition to
his blacksmith-shop almost completed.
Uncle Dan Long, who has reformed and
forsaken the desperate life of cowboy,
will be in charge. If Uncle Dan can be
prevented from poking out cayuses' eyes
and cutting off mules tails-through
sanguinary habits acquired in his former
wild occupation-he will give general
satisfaction. {
Mr. w. 8. Casselman has received a

Messrs. Asa and J. A. Casselman arrived
home from Bismarck last week. The

Maggie, daughter of the former gentle.

severely from inflammatory rheumatism

was nearing her heart, which would have
proved fatal. At last accounts she was
much better. Miss Casselman is thor

friends in Emmons County.

lord Walkers dog Dick has been party
to many hard-fought battles, with vary
ing success. But, when defeated, he
takes it seriously to heart. Not only does
his dislike extend to his conqueror, but
