The commissioners have been
stirring up the saloon keepers con.
siderably this week. 1t seems tn at
written complaint, charging dis
order had been made against Frank
Elliott at Paramount, but that
Commissioner Mcmillan made oral
complaint against B. Pietz of Hank
inson, and Math Landa of Ledger
wood, that they sold liquor on
Sunday. Pyatt & Purcell appeared
for Landa and Elliott, no one ap.
pearing for Pietz, and District
Attorney Lauder for the territory.
The charge against Elliot was dis
missed, but the license of each of
the other two was revoked.
That Fargo rustler, N. X. Hub
bard, Esq, was in the city Monday
and paying The TIMES pleasant
call, explained to us that he was ar
ranging to dispose of 200 city lots.
These lots are in Hubbard & Tyler's
addition-very desirable property
but these gentlemen are pushed to
unload part Of their large real estate
holdings in the territory, and the
past several weeks have been matur-
ing plans and fixing rates for the
disposition of portion of their
property; and very soon these plans
and rates will be made public.
Men buying PROPERTY of these gen.
tlemen will not, likely, be compelled
to pay all down, but may deal on
easy terms. Save up your spare
"change' and invest it where it
will do you some good. Look out
for the plans and easy terms. Rich
and poor may share alike in these
deals.
The Murphy Brothers of the bot
tling works, have the lumber on the
ground just east of their present
place, for bottling works estab.
lishment, 26x75 feet. Frank Wolfe
of the novelty works, has the con:
tract to put up the building, and
the boys hope to be into it by Janu.
airy 1st. These energetic young
men have just received 1875 cases OF
bottle beer and sixty barrels of beer
and in answer to our question, said
it would last them about month
This shows that they have built up
a large business in the brief space
of less than a year. But then they
attend to business and would win in
most any thing, at least this is what
tells in the way of success. Con.
sidering other men doing a large
wholesale business here, it would
seem that this section of country
"gets away with" large quantities
of beer.
Mr.. Barnes of the Northern
Pacific elevator Co. wri tes The
Argus saying that he has no con.
nection with any new elevator
company as reported was the case
1t may be that Messrs. Sweat and
Tyler Of Fargo propose to organize
a new company of which Mr.. Barnes
seems to know nothing. Sweat
has recently disposed of his interest
in the Red River Valley Bank fol
$160,000 to II. F. Miller of Fargo
and it may he that he is looking for
an opening. By-the-way, this men.
toned bank, it is said, does the
best paying banking bushes in the
valley, and we learn that one of the
least expected things by Mr.. S. was
the acceptance of his proposition by
Mr.. Miller when it was carelessly
made. 1t does seem that the unex.
pected thing very often happens
And then here again on this score
Mr.. Sweat may go.into an elevator
company.
1t has been showing and very
blizzardy in New York state and
the Middle states the past week OF
ten days. And the Manitoba pas
senger train due at Wahpeton from
St. Paul this Thursday morning was
delayed many hours east of Litch-
field, not having been able to make
the trip for the immen Sc snow
drifts; and two freight trains east OF
WIllmar on branch road therefron
were abandoned Wednesday night
in the fearful snow storm; and the
train due here Wednesday evening
on the Milwaukee road was aban.
doned not having been able to gel
through before this Thursday even.
ing. But here in delightful Wal
peton and in this superb Richland
county there has not yet been the
slightest indication of snow. The
wind has blown cool, just enough
to hurry along the pedestrian upon
the street. But then as for snow
we have not even seen it, except a.
clinging to cars as they got in just
ahead of the blockade.
! 1t would appear to most people
that the Abercrombie Scout is un-
duly anxious to demean District
Attorney Lauder. Its first publ.
cation announcing the result of the
election might be overlooked, but
to follow it up with the statement
that Mr.. Lauder takes his defeat
hard in connection with question
able conundrum, is entirely un.
called for. Mr.. Lauder expected to
be: elected. and really neglected his
own canvass in the interest of his
fri end J. H. Miller. But to say he
