Mr.. and Mrs. L. Casselman returned
from Bismarck Monday evening. Larry
says he found himself in bad shape when
he struck the capital city. The law pro-
hibiting original packages is now in force
there, and the man who can't exhibit chalk
on Ms hands stands poor ,show indeed.
He failed to catch on to the chalk.
and now the explanation comes from
Major John S. Murphy's headquarters at
the Ft. Berthold agency. It of the female
persuasion and tips the beam ut 10 lbs,
her weight, size and lung capacity having
been recorded last Sunday. Major Muir
ply has his hands full now and he is
happy man. At last accounts mother and
child were doing we'll.
Capt. c. p. Wood started Thursday
morning for the home of his daughter and
the scenes of his boyhood at Oconomowoc,
Wis, where he will make his future home.
We regret to lose Capt. Wood from our
81 Gov 1,n
pleasant gentleman. The LEADER follows
him with its best wishes for safe Journey
and happy future.
There are but very few men who we're
members of the last legislature who should
be honored again with seats there this
wiater. The botch they helped to make
of the few laws they did pass is enough TO
sink them forever into ridicule and obliv-
ion. Pick out better men. Not those men
who are anxious and want to represent
you, but men whom you know are endowed
with little horse-sense and honesty.
Landlord Satterlund had been enjoying
an excellent tooth-ache for several days,
when suddenly something occurred to mar
the pleasures of the occasion, and Tuesday
morning Mr.. 8. thought 'twere better to
part company with his old friend ere an
Other rupture, and suiting the action to tho
thcnght he bade Hans take care of the ho-
tel7while he mounted the stage and drove
it to Bismarck himself, intent on seeing
a dentist. He saw one, and he's happy
man.
Rev. Brownell and wife visited Stevenson
and Berthold during the past week and re-
turned home Tuesday night. Mr.. Brownell
remained several days at Ft. Stevenson,
where, under formal authority, he passed
an examination before Prof. George E.
Gerowe, superintendent of the government
school at Stevenson. He says the exam
ination was the severest he ever underwent,
and he. speaks in the highest terms of Prof.
Gerowe's thorough and mastery scholar
ship.
VIM. g. Hayden, public examiner for the
state of North Dakota, visited Washburn
the fore part of this week, and spent all
day Tuesday and Tuesday evening exam
ing the records of the county treasurer and
county auditor. He says he found the rec
ords and vouchers all right, but that be-
ginning with October some changes in the
system of bookkeeping must be inaugu-
rated by the auditor to comply with the
new revenue law. We found Mr.. Hayden
to3be well-posted and very pleasant gen.
tlemen, and thoroughly versed in North
Dakota politics, which, by the way, he does
not allow to interfere with him in impair
italy discharging his official duties.
Geo. s. Herbert in Steele Ozone: While
at Bismarck recently we had the pleasure
of meeting R. H. Copeland of the Wash
burn Leader. Mr.. Copeland, or "Dick" as
he is familiarly known, is an old timer in
the northwest, having worked on the Bis
marck Tribune in its earliest days, and he
delights now to recall ths, time when he
and D. R. Streeter, of the Emmons County
Record, were fellow craftsmen in that Office.
Dick knows how to keep his friends and
they are legion in these parts who would
like to see him prosper at Washburn. ),
VIM. E. Low came down from his ranch
Tuesday enroute to Bismarck. He was ac-
companied by his sister Mrs. II. L. Demar-
est and her daughter Marie, Miss Flora
Graves and Miss Charlotte Savage,who were
returning to their homes at Patterson, N. j.
These ladies came out here on visit to
Mr. Low about the 18th of July, and have
spent the whole of that time on the ranch
enjoying ''frontier life,' passing the days
in bunting, fishing, horseback riding, Tor
in western parlance, "broncho- -busting''),
and racing over the prairies in search Of
snipe and flowers. The ladies came here
q pale, cadavorous looking group, but they
.are returning to their eastern homes with
