Montana to settle his affairs, preparatory
to making this neighborh bis home.
Last Thursday the writer visited the
farm of Mr. Jacob Kalbercr, few miles
from town. Mr.. X. has IL fine claim, a
good dwelling-house. and is very com.
iortably situated. He has recently built
a 2S-acre corral, with barbsd wire and oak
posts.
Emmons County saloon men should
bear in mind that in but little over a
month the Beer of the Bismarck Brewery
has established u reputation second to
none. Said resident of the Wiil,ams-

And still there is no wedding in this
ncighborhood- See here, boys. If you

other good-looking young chaps may
come along and contest. Final proofs
may be made before either Squire Camp
bell or Mr.. Worst.
We learn that herd of so cattle were
driven north through Williamsport a
week ago Sunday. The man driving
them said he was going to Jimtown. But
it is said the herd crossed the track near
Sterling going north. Treasurer Steven
son has 16 head missing, and Mr.. Nc.
Crory has also lost several
Mr.. w. W. Goodwin, of Buchanan, has
u dorg. The other day the said dorg
started down the creek, "loaded for bear"
Bear being scarce, he modified his vault
ing ambition to skunks. He killed eight
before night. That purp is now picketed
Il mile from the Goodwin residence, with
a smallpox sign tied to his tail. Phew |!
There is plenty Of good government
land yet unentered within few miles of
Williamsport- Actual settlers will be
heartily welcomed; but may the Lold, in
his wisdom, direct the blightlng and

ulators to regions far beyond the borders
of Emmons County.
Mr.. o. w. Davis, the we'll. known land
attorney of Bismarck, passed through
Willamsport Saturday on his return home
from quite an extensive trip. He'wcnt
down to Hoskins in Mcintosh County,
by way of Winchester, and thence to Bis
marck through this place. Like every
one who visits this region, Mr.. Davis ex-
| pressed himself as pleased with its ap-
pearancc.
Little Fred Chapman had fast ride and
tumble the other day. He had gone on
horseback ON an errand to neighbor's s..
On his way back the animal he was riding
! approached some loose horses, which gal
| loped away. Fred's steed ran with them,
and threw him off. Although consider
| ably bruised the little man. after getting
| up and feeling of his bones, found they
were all right.
| A couple of horse-thieves and some
twenty stolen horses have been captured
at Jamestown. 1t is believed that scvcral
of the animals were taken from ranges in
this county. Commissioner Clayton has
lost 2 horses, VIM. McCrory 8, and VIM
Badger 6. These animals are said tc
be in the herd just recovered. Messrs.
McCrory and Badger will go to jamestown
to identify the horses and bung them
back.
At the election for Clerk in Williams
port School Township, yesterday, Messrs
John Kurtz and W. L. Yeater were the
candidates. Considerable good-nature6
interest was manifested, and the figures
show that it was not "walk-away." Mr.
Yeater received % votes and Mr.. Kurt

petent for the position, both are all-the
year-round, come -to-stay farmers living
near town, and, whatever the result, tn
world and the school system would hav
moved on just the same. The RESPECTIVE
friends of the gentlemen running di,
