Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1891-12-25

Remington, OF Bismarck, head miller
and bookkeeper, respectively, of the Bis
marck roller mills, came down to Daw-
son on Saturday last to look over the
roller mill property here, with a view to
leasing it for a term of years. Arrange
ments have not as yet been completed.
Judge Ranard: I just got in from
Conkllng and am on my way to Iowa,
where Mrs. Burgam, my daughter, who
left for the Pacific coast, is very sick. We
are all through threshing up our way
got through yesterday. There hasn't
been a day in December that threshing
has not been done.
The TRIBUNE has a sample of wheat
straw which has been we'll stacked and
is now ready to thresh. The sample
comes from Emmons county, is bright
and plump and should grade No. l hard.
The sample wa pulled from different
stacks, which proves that well-stacked
wheat is not spelling.
All the cases before the United States
district court will be tried at the Bis
marck session. Louis Agard, charged
with taking liquor on an Indian reserva-
ton, and Alex Helmsworth for sending
unlawful mail. John Hogan, for selling
liquor on the Indian reservation, will
plead guilty and get off with a small
fine, having served from July 9TH last in
| Jail, being unable to give bonds.
So Judge Gray and Gilbert went up
to Mason's house, did they, and put up
the job with Mason to become an in
former-otfering SIS for each informer
caught? Mason testified that he caught
Swenson, but Joe Fox was too cunning.
Mason might have gone on and told how
he was taken over to Mandan by Judge
Gray on the same informing business.
Nice outft-nice pair of law and order
leaguers-Betsey and Mason.
Emmons county Record: Recently a
couple of Williamsport settlers, returning
from a railroad town, lost from their
vehicle a jug; containing prohibition ex-
tract. ;Ehey stopped at a farmers house
by the wayside Don after, and presently
a young man was seen coming along the
road from the direction they had come.
AS he drove up the question was pro-
pounded: "Did you find a jug?" Strik-
ing a dlgnifed attitude he replied: mo,
shir, didn't. meet no shug. No shug
didn't meet me. Didn't shee noshun
of noshun. What kind shug's you lost?:"
Was t'little brown shug? He! he! he!"
Fargo Argus: Joe Remington was
seen yesterday by a reporter for the
Argus and expressed himself as feeling
irst-class. He was asked when he ex-
pected to go to Bismarck and said: IL
do not know how soon I will go. I am
we'll satisfied here, being we'll taken care
iof and have lots to eat. just look at me,
I am as fat as I can be, and when came
here I weighed 155 and now my weight
is 1855, so you See I do not do much
worrying. Haven't any idea what work
1 will do when I. get to Bismarck, and
don't care much" Some further con-
versation was had with him about mat
ters prior to his incarceration and he
laughed and talked glib as could be.
He evinces no interest whatever in his
future life and does not seem to regret
! his crima in the 1oaet
DR.. Rarcourt, assisted by DR.. Slaugh-
ter. has been performing some skillful
surgical operations during the past week
upon the unfortunates caught out during
the last storm, and who in consequence
suffer from frozen feet. Among the

received a fracture of both bones of her
arms and dislocation of the elbow joint.

several weeks with a fractured leg.
Judge Francis: Coming back from

st. Paul and we went up to the city hos
pital to see Denny Hanniin who is laid
up with a broken leg. He fell on the
icy sidewalk on Third street about two
weeks ago and broke his leg above the
knee. The surgeon says a good set has
been made, but he will have to lay with
a twenty-five pound weight tied to hif
foot for a couple of weeks yet, 80 that
one limb will not be shorter than the
other when it gets we'll. We asked
