ing for locations in Burleigh county.

part of Teller township. They are To-
Gated in house, and intend to stay there
until they find claims. -. There is consid-
cradle inquiry for work. horses this spring
and cattle seem to be in better dcmand....
"stub" Smith began seeding wheat on
March 81. lit seems to be the policy of
the republican administration of North
Dakota to turn the faithful out and put
the unfaithful in. Also, to let the mi
nority rule, Us they do IN some states
south of Mason g. Dixon's line. But the
big republican majority of the Slope will
have chance within two short years to
assist IL remedying matters. lit is res
ported around town that Mr.. Docksteader
has bought new team of horses. :. An
other old soldier of Teller township has
just had pension allowed him.. 1t is to
be hoped that the laws passed by the
wise farmers last wluter to protect the
buffalo, quails and wild pigeons in North
Dakota will be strictly enforced. Il
would take q gun with mighty long
range to hit any Of that kind of game in
this state. :. "A male swine (blond) an
swcring to the description of the one that
eloped with Editor Streetcr's brunette
lady pig, was drowned in Stub" Smiths
