excellent time and facilities for ship
ping.
The item in the TRIBUNE of Sunday
regarding the petition handed Judge
Winchester in the Roberts case that "all
the county officers except F. A. Register
signed" the same was somewhat incorrect.
It should have been "nearly ALL" Judge
Chase and Sheriff Donnelly's names were
not appended to the same.
One of the gentlemen connected with
a state department is wrathy and longs
for the return of Lieutenant Patton and
the gatling gun. The trouble is all over
the combined efforts of a couple of Fifth
street dogs to make a meal of his limbs.
The gent has murder in his eye and an
obituary notice of the CANNES will prob
ably be in order soon.
The seal used by Adjutant General
Bentley in his official business is Il very
unique design. Around the disc in plain
type is the words "Adjutant General of

the lower half of center represents a
farm with a man holding a pillow, and the
words, "Citizens in Peace"

pany will be the defendant in seven

These gentlemen have been after young
cattle, and they report prices stiff. The
settlers all seem to know when they have
a good thing and are slow to let 20 their
stock, eve at top prices. There is hay
in abundance everywhere.
The case of the city of Bismarck vs..
John Robidou was finally disposed of in
Justice Chase's court Wednesday. Mr..
Robidou went down into his jeans and
fshed out $3.50 in cold coin, as a fine for
his negligence in not taking out a hack
license, and likewise deposited the neces-
sary amount with the city treasurer for
a permit to run a hack one year, and
thus, after four adjournments, justice is
appeased, as it we're.
Erard Woorster: There was a cloud
burst near my ranch about 4 o'clock Sun
day afternoon. The water came on us
with a rush. Fortunately, our sheep
we're out of the corrals. Almost four
feet of water stood in them and had the
burstssoccurred during the night all our
sheep would have been drowned. My
herders we're compelled to swim for their
suppers. I am always ready to welcome
rain, but want it a little more evenly dis
tr1buted.

church member and has been a Sunday
school teacher; is quite fond of playing
billiards; has no other bad habits that l
know of. If arrested, guard closely against
suicide."

till Monday at II o'clock. Her husband
is & laborer at the bridge. She appeared
to be very much frightened and cried
pitifully. Mr.. Kendrick says she was
notified some time ago to stop practic-
ing, as action by law would follow.
Operations were commenced Friday
on the new water system for the peniten-
tiary. Twenty convicts comprise the dig
ing gang. A pipe-laying force will begin
to-day and follow close after the excava-
tors, to avoid caving. The connection with
the city water WORKS is made at the corner
of Main and Fourth streets. The course
will be east to the race track; south to the
Northern Pacific right of way; east to the
corner of the penitentiary grounds; thence
direct to the building. The distance to be
laid is about one and one-half miles, and
the work will occupy most of the summer.
