ment. A "lxink" in tho rail, caused by the

Judge Winchester comp,imented.

Judge Winchester COmplimented.
Dawson Times: The rapidity, ease and
satisfaction to all parties with which Judge
Winchester disposed of the different cases
on the calendar and his constant and un-
firing aim to make as little expense for
the county as possible and still give all
parties Justice, was commendable in the
highest degree. Nearly every one has
their friends and almost all judges receive
both praise and censure according to the
manner in which those who are interested
see matters. But when any Judge appar-
emily has nothing but friends and receive
praise only, as seems to be the case with
Judge Winchester, We deem it worthy. of
mention. The sixth judicial district
certainly did themselves proud in their
selection of an officer to I'LL such an impor-
tant Office. The cases will undoubtedly
be disposed of and the court stand ad-
journed to-day.
Kidder County Republican: Judge
Winchester gave entire satisfaction in his
method of conducting the business before
him. Attorneys, itigants and the people
Of. the county feel that he is the right man
for the place.

The Mandan Pioneer gives it out on the
authority of "a Bismarcker" that Moffet
hal sold or leased his "estray paper" to j.
E. Britton, formerly of the Mclean County
Mail.-Bismarck Tribune.
The above item was shown to Mr.. Brit
ton yesterday, who denies the ''impeach-
ment" and says it is the Tribune he in
tends leasing. Now, we do not wish to
contend with Mr.. B. in the matter, but
Judging from the way he is oiling up his
buggy harness and vanishing his carriage,
one is lead to blieve that he intends enter
ing the capital city in style. Twill be
only matter of time when the statement
of the Mandan Pioneer will be verified,
and if Britton gets the Settler then that
will settle it.

The Washburn Mail: The Washburn

Copeland's contribution sheet to the news
paper list of Mclean county. No. is
newsy and bright, and its editor proposes
to improve on its first issue, us it was got
ton out in haste. The Leader declares it
self Independent in all matters and for the
best interest of the people and its proprie-
tor. The Mail tenders Bro. Copeland's
paper a hearty welcome.
Bismark Tribune: The Washburn Lea
der, published at Washburn, N. d., by
R. H. Copeland, is the latest venture in
the journalistic field. It is neat, newsy
and well gotten up, is independent in pol
itics, and the first issue announces that the
object of the founder in locating at Wash
burn is ITO establish business and mako
a living for the EDITOR" This is certainly
candid, and reflects ono of Copeland's
strongest characteristics honesty. Cope
land is veteran newspaper man, fear
less and able writer, and can, if given tho
proper support, make the Lender u credit
to Mclean county.

Fargo Argus: The city council yester-
day took action upon the census question
owing to the many reports of citizens not
enumerated, and Mayor Ball appointed
twelve special policemen to canvass the
city and ascertain who had been missed.
The work will be under the supervision
of Public Examiner Hayden. 1t is said
Enumerator Swift has sent in the returns
of the Fifth and Sixth wards. In some
cases names have been handed in by others
but the design of census to obtain accurate
statistics is almost utterly defeated by this
as none of the inquiries are answered OF
con be with any degree of accuracy.

three years ago placed number of good
breeding cows in charge of Chas. E. Arm
strong at Antelope lake, now i'll Church
county, visited that range last week for
the purpose of gathering up his stock and
bringing the whole lot to Bismarck, where
he intends selling of all but the calves and
yearlings. We passed his herd near Stink
ing lake last Tuesday on its way down to
the capital city, and saw some excellent
beef stock in the bunch. Mr.. Holt has IS

The 800" Road Coming.


According to the Aberdeen Republican,
"a well-defned rumor is afoat in railway
circles that the 500 Railway company is
busily at work in Minneapolis getting its
construction train and tools ready for
business, and that it will begin work on
its Bismarck line July LIST. The report
comes from Mr.. Pratt, who just came
from Minneapolis. He says he was in the
500 shops and saw them preparing their
construction trains and tools for immedi-
ate work. He says he was told by Assist
ant Superintendent Kelly that work would
begin at Aberdeen within two weeks, and
the whole line will be ironed to Bismarck
in time.to move the present, CROP: Is, y
The Mandan Pioneer says: ut is to
he hoped that the rumors as to the pro-
posed speedy building of the railroad be-
tween Aberdeen and Bismarck are true.
Parties are quoted in the Aberdeen news
papers as stating that the work will
actually be done at once, and will be
commenced within three weeks. There
will be good new country to open up
between Aberdeen and the North Dakota
capital, and the opening Of this road will
be of great and lasting benefit to the
whole of the Missouri slope. One thing
that it will do especially, and that will be
to open market for our coal to the peo-
pie of South Dakota.
Mr.. T. n. Lewis of st. Paul, profess
sional relic-seeker, and who is now in this
section of country surveying and locating
ancient Indian villages and works of the
Mound Builders, says that before leaving
home he had conversation with Chief En-
gineer Ritch of the Minneapolis, st. Paul
d Sault Ste. Marie road, who stated that
his company were already shipping iron
ont on the road between Aberdeen and
Bismarck, and that trains would be run
ming into the capital city of North Dakota
by the 10th of September, and that early
next spring the line would be continued
up the Missouri via Washburn to the coal
fields of Mclean county. Mr.. Lewis says
he also called at the Offices of the Milwau-
kee l. st. Paul company, whose track is
already laid short distance into Emmons
county, where he learned that that road
would be completed to Williamsport in
time to move this falls crop, and that in
the spring they would extend the line to
Bismarck and on up to the Mclean county
coal. We have no desire to throw q
'boomerang" into the homes of our people
here, but judging from the rumors and bona
fde statements coming from official quar-
ters, We must venture the assertion that
before the crop of 1891 will be ready for
shipment the "Iron Horse" on the $500"
road will come snorting into the village of
Washburn.
