Rev. Brownell returned home from Ward
county on Thursday.
Frank s. Corwin, proprietor of the
Steele Ozone, died at Pecatonica, Ill, on
Thursday of last week, Oct. I'd.
We understand that Mr.. j. J. Robinson
was over at Minot last week looking up
beef cattle for his government contract.
For the past three or four days the
weather has been quite cloudy and inclined
to rain, and eliminated yesterday in a
brisk snow storm.
John White, the liveryman, of Bismarck,
was at Washburn the fore part of this week
with party of geese-hunters. They
bagged considerable game.
Peter Miller came down from Turtle
Lake last Tuesday night, enroute to Mis-
soula, Mont, where his only son, J. w.
Miller, is now lying very sick.
Read the call for republican county

By letter published in this paper, sent
to Clerk of Court Brownell. it will be seen
that Judge Winchester will hold term of

Larry Casselman, j. E. Britton, Anton
Peterson, Herman Hanson, August 81.
Wahl and John j. Robinson were visitors
at Minot from Mclean county last Satur-
day. A man named staley was also along
with the boys.
II is said that ]. G. staley's mission to
Minot last week was mainly for the pur-
pose of conferring with L. s. Foote about
purchasing "sheep" for Mclean county
farmers. We don't believe the ''sheep"
racket will work this fall.
But little attention has been given to
the local department of the LEADER this
week. We have been busily engaged in
preparing political cyclone for the ami
hilation of sore-heads, kickers and dis
gruntled spoils-seekers. Honest people
will have no need of fear.
4 Mai. J. 8. Murphy and DR.. Geo. B. Cock
came down from Berthold last Monday
evening. The major was going to Fargo
to attend the trial of White Elk, who COM
mitted murder on the reservation last
spring, and DR.. Cock was enroute to his
home at Canton, Ohio.
DR.. F. R. smyth has closed up his busi-
ness in this county, and last week departed
for Chicago, which city he will make his
future home. During his five years resi-
dence in Mclean county DR.. Smyth made
many friends, and although they will great
" miss him from their midst and regret
his departure, they all with one accord
wish him unbounded success.
Amos Dresser, representing Marder,
Luse Co., of the Chicago type foundry,
yisitwd Washburn Wednesday afternoon.
he came here in the interest of his firm to
look after the Mclean County Mail print
ing material, upon which the type foundry
had very heavry mortgage. We under
stand he foreclosed on Mr.. j. E. Britton's
interest in the plant and sold the same to
Larry Casselman. Thus, Larry becomes
the full-aedged owner of q newspaper.
While in Minot last week we met our old
friend Billy Manning, one the shrewdest
business men in that fourishing burg.
Billy was formerly engaged in the '.wet
grocery trade, and his reputation for
keeping first-class goods is well sustained.
Whenever you go to Minot inquire for
Billy Manning, and some Of the boys will
introduce you. Billy is prince among
good fellows, aud We wish him uninter-
rupted success,
A Term of Csurt.
