the city for $4,000. This claim is south
east Of the city on the 500 grade. It
was purchased by a firm in which Lang

Editor Britton of the Mclean County
Mail is grieved at the report of the ball
game between Washburn and Burnt
Creek given the TRIBUNE by W. E.
Breen. He says the game was decided a
draw and that the score-keeper was no
good. However, he forgets to state that
the score was 80 to 80 instead of 5 to 6
as reported by Mr.. Breen. There was
lots of fun connected with the game and
Burnt Creek had a good time.
The lawn fete at the Wallace residence
Thursdayevening was we'll pa~tronized and
much enjoyed. On the outside the prin-
cipal games we're croquet and quoits.
Ice cream, cake and other delecacies
we're served. Everybody present seemed
to enjoy themselves. The little girls
reaped a harvest from some very hand
some bouquets and jail were willing to
give up a small sum to secure the smile
which accompanied every bouquet.
Another chapter in the Mclean coun-
ty quarrel over the county printing came
to light Wednesday. Attorney Rice of
Mandan, in behalf of the Mclean Coun-
ty Mail, has issued an injunction against
the county board allowing the bills of
the Washburn Leader for legal printing
for the county. It is also rumored that
legal proceedings will be instituted to
"oust" Commissioners Allen and Betten-
dorf, who were elected last fall. The
county elected three commissioners last
fall and a question has been raised as to
their right to hold Office.
G. M. Dahl: I got back from the east
Sunday morning. My visit was very en-
joyable. Everywhere I was surprised to
find that the east knows as much about
our beautiful crop about to be harvested.
"You are all right in North Dakota
now,' people would say to me, and it is a
fact that they watch our interests as
closely as we do ourselves. There was a
movement I noticed in Chicago that
pleased me much. Nearly all the large
firms there close at noon on Saturday,
giving their employees a half holiday-
something that is very much appreci-
ated.
The TRIBUNE is advised of the fact
that the game laws of the state are being
daily violated by local sportsmen, and
names have been handed in for publlca.
ton. In justice to those sportsmen who
believe in law and who obey the law, the
TRIBUNE feels that something should be
done to protect the unripe birds. Where
is the gun club organization? Certainly
it does seem as if the sportsmen them
selves ought to take care of this matter.
An example ought to be made of some
one. Hunting parties are out every few
days and-prairie chicken by any other
name is prairie chicken still.
