Sheriff Thos. Fitzgerald returned home
Monday from his trip to Montrose, Colo
RADIO. He is highly delighted with that
section of country, and from the glowing

been wholly captivated by the charming
prospects of that region. We hope his
enthusiasm over Colorado, however, will
not cause him to abandon his friends in
North Dakota.
