We learn that quite an animated row
took place recently betyeen two families
in the Walker City >dsighbprhood, over
the possession otto prairie breaker. "A
breaking-plow should never be used to
break up the peace of a nsighborhood.
A dollar saved is dollar made, and
people buying dry goods should see to it
that they buy where they get the most re.
liable goods for the least money. The
place to find such goods is at II. R. Mead
q Co.'s, Dakota block, Bismarck, d. T.
An election took place in the Third
Commissioners District yesterday. We
have not yet learned tie result, but have
little doubt that Commissioner Childs
was reelected. If he wasn't, an honest
man and faithful officer has been de-
feated.
Horny Chapman has bis house COM
pletcd, on his sclaim-24-13g175. Itise4x
10 feet, we'll finished, and nicely lathed
and plastered. Whsh one sees single
young man building house of this kind,

Road Supervisor Tom Kelly l1as been
doing some needed work on the new
Sterling road, recently, in the way of cul-
verts, grading, ETC., and those who have
travelled the route say that a trip to Ster-
ling from Williamsport will not be 90
difficult an undertaking in wet weather
as formerly.

encountered at Ft. Rice, and six or seven
inches of show fell. This was the ses.

Mr.. Armstrong has pressed his pony
into service while hauling grain to Bis
marck. The pony works alongside the
big horses, hitched to the short end Of a
tripletree. The little fellow tugs away
as though bound Ito do his level best p
and, If ponies have thoughts and express
sive countenances, his expression would
seem to indicate that he considered him
self wholly responsible for getting the
load 10 it, destination.

Mr.. E. J. Worst left for home last
Thursday. Mr.. W.'s present visit has
been quite lengthy one. He came in
autumn-just the time to see the thrash
ers at work, and learn for himself. with
out taking the word of ahy one, what
this country 10 capable of producing.
He went away better satisfied than ever
with the Willismsport country, and the
chances are IN favor of his making his
home here III year Of two. Mr.. Worst
is not one Of those ron.residents who
hold land here on which they have not
spent 4 dollar for cultivation, and who
intend that the settlers shall do al tho
work which enhances the value Of the
real property. He has had q zoodly
amount Of breathing and cultivation done,
and intends to farm his land still more
extensively in the future. It il probable
that he will also buy another quarter
section. The RECORD wishes there wsrc
more Worsts and shellys among our non.
