buffalo trail and gopher run between this
place and Stewartdale. Dan hasn't Wis.
tied his friends down this way for several
years, but he thinks our Billsport boys
quite favorably with the mem.
bers of his household at the big mansion
near Bismarck.
Charlie Allen ls dynamiter as we'll as
a boodler (see the fatherless circular now |
floating around in Cherry Grove). He
had few dynamite cartridges in stock. |
A couple of them got into the stove with |
some rubbish. They created considerable
commotion IN the Allen residence. 1t is
now in order for another edition of the
circular to appear charging Charlie with
being modern Guy Fawkes, or at least of
attempting to demoish his family through
the medium of dynamite.
One of the largest social gatherings
that has come together for long time
took place at the residence of Commis.
isioner and Mrs. w. L. Yeater Wednesday
evening, the occasion being a surprise
party to Mr.. Yeater commemorative of
the fortieth anniversary of tho date on
which he made his entry into this wicked
world. There was good supper, and
the company did not disperse until late
hour. Among those present from DIS
tance were Warden Dan Williams and
wife, of Bismarck Mr.. and Mrs. Hbbs,
of Menoken, and Mrs. G. H. Bumstead
and children, of Winchester.
Mr.. R. H. Thistlethwaite, Of Cherry
Grove, is one of the many farmers in
Emmons county who have made good
improvements this spring. Besides the
new stone house, he has also invested
heavily in live stock. Dick recently re.
ceived several thousand dollars from the
old country (England). and is showing his
faith in the new country where he has
made his home by investing it here.
Living right on the banks of streamU
good water, and with plenty of his own
timber around him, Mr.. 7. certainly has
ono of the best locations In the county
for stock farm. 1t is said that since
that American boy came along Dick
whistles Yankee Doodle instead of
"Rule, Britannia"
Which we wish to remark--that it is
hardly right that pioneer: young lady Of
Emmons county--ons who came to the
Wllliamsport country with the first
should be wooed and won by citizen of
unrighteous and unrcgenerate Burleigh,
should marry and 60 there to live. and
should thereafter add one to the future
voting population Of our sister county.
No /; 1t isn't fair. 1t isn't fair to the little
settler nor to this county. Furthermore,
when the young man reaches the "think"
age, how shall his fond parents satisfac.
torily explain to him that they compelled
him to be "born'd'' in Burlelgh when the
Emmons county line was only a few
miles away2 However, this extended
rigmarole has no bearing on the main
question, which IS that Mrsand Mrs. A.
D. Cordner, Of tho Sterling neighbor-
hood, on Friday, June z, 1880, became
the happy parents of bouncing bsy.
There have been quite a number of run
away matches-horses, of course--here-
abouts during the past week. D. H.
Yeater, thinking his pony too deliberate
and dlgnif1ed in her movements, sought
with the whip to develop more energy
but the said increased energy was princi.
pally in her heels, and the dashboard of
Davy's buggy was soon wrecked. John
Baker and the Misses Brlndle and Mark
ley were next spilled upon the green
sward by runaway, with few slight
bruises. Then COW that Ed Herrick had
bought of Bob Buchanan, and that was
being led behind wagon, took fright
poked leg through wheel, tipped over
the wagon, broke her leg, took after Tom
Kelly and butted him. Farmer Boutillier
and son and the lawyer were spilled when
the wagon went over All were more or
less bruised, and Mr.. B. was dragged
some distance before he could stop the
runaways. The other day out at the
RECORD ranch the devil-the office devil,
of course-ran in heathlessly and said,
There IS strange bird about to light
on the prairie" 1t was Merchant Con-
nor, wao was just coming down from the
exalted position he had assumed when his
pony bucked, then stumbled, then fell
The pony could be seen in the distance
scootang for home. 1thas been great
week for accidents.
