Court adj ourned for election day,
in that the day was a legal holiday.
Judge Mcconnell explained to the
jury that he had to convene term
of court at Pembina next Monday,
and urged upon the members the
necessity of being on hand Wednes-
day morning at 7:30. Under the
circumstances we do not see how
all the criminal cases can have a
hearing this term.

TINES pleasant call, election day.
1t was too expensive for the gentle
men to go home and vote, so they
put in the time at Wahpeton. They
left some hard dollars with us.
These come in very handy about
this time of the year. And we
would not be displeased if others
would do likewise.

was found that the eldest boy was
still in the house, the mother rushed
back and found him in bed with his
head covered up, he having been
and unable to find the way down
stairs in the suffocating smoke, had
gone back and covered up his head
to get breath, trusting that some
one would get to him and lead the
way out. Mrs. johnson had her
face severely burned in her efforts
to save her boy, but she saved him.
