Albert Hanson and Ole E. Forde, OF
Sykeston, were in Washburn Thursday
looking for stray horses. Mr.. Hanson
found his estray with H. B. Thompson,
who had already handed in an advertise
ment of the animal. From these gentle
men we learn that nearly all stray horses
branded p D belong to parties living IN
the vicinity of Sykeston.
Fred Tibbils came up from Bismarck
yesterday to witness the ball game between
Coal Harbor and Burnt Creek. The latter
club being short one man, Fred was pressed
into service on their side, and he's dandy
player, too. Fred is one of the "all-around
social boys" of the capital city, and some
years ago clicked jobber" in the Trib-
une office-but steam superseded him.
Elsewhere we publish call for the Or
ganization of district fair association at

Mclean county will be entitled to two rep

of several persons interested, a meeting

noon to elect two delegates to represent

many of our farmers in attendance this
afternoon rs can make it convenient to
come out under this short notice.

Hon. E. A. Williams North Dakota =
surveyor-general, with his family, camped
at Washburn on his return trip through
Sheridan and Church counties. He was
piloted over the country by that famous
guide and frontiersman, "little Jack
Little" who took the general to all the
noted lakes and places in the land, even
unto W. E. Lows Lakeview ranch and the
Dog Den mountain. At Dog Den the par
ty ascended to the highest peak of the
mountain, from which they obtained a
grand and awe-inspiring view of the coun-
try stretching nearly a hundred miles away
on every side. They were then more than
$500 feet above the sea, and Jack thought
it was most delightful place and about
as near heaven as he ever expects to get.
The general was very favorably impressed
with the country he saw, especially as a
stock region, although he passed over vast
areas of excellent farming land. He is
we'll satisfied that the country should be
surveyed.
