SMITH Patrique. u farmer living about
three miles northwest of toilette station
died OH Wednesday and was buried AT
Bathgate on Thursday. Mr.. Patrique
was a young man of splendid physique
and had just opened out a new farm
where lie lived. Ills death was from
inflammation of the bowels and lie was
sick only four days. He leaves a widow
and four small children.
IT is generally understood the game
law was changed last winter, fixing tlIt
date of shouting prairie chickens from
August 18th to October LIST. This is crro
ncous. While the bill passed both houses
it is evident it was consigned to Coy
Churcl's waste basket, or some other re
mote place, as it can't lie found in tlIt
session laws. This leaves the old Law
Sept nbcr lst to January list in force.

they went across the coulcc bridge, bu
i'll turning the corner Of Chippewa street
