it may not be ground from the wheat of
Dakota.
East Grand Forks Courier: A re-
porter for Bradstreet's Mercantile agency
is in the city writing up the financial
standing of our business men. He found
thirty-six saloons in operation, and re-
ports twelve changes in firms handling
liquors, since his last report, some six
months ago.
The Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany has generously agreed to haul 200
carloads of gravel from Valley City to
grade up the streets of Casselton. All
the expenses the city has is to load the
cars at the bank and unload them when
they reach here. Our citizens certainly
ought to take some means to thank the
road for the very great favor.-Casselton
Republican.
North Dakota Republican: E.. G.
Gregory, of Minot, will b. a candidate
before the republican state convention
for nomination to the office of attorney
general. Mr.. Gregory is n of the
bright young lawyers of the state, aud
should he be selected for the place, and
elected, he would discharge the legal du-
ties of his office with honor to himself
and credit to North Dakota. The Re-
publican hopes to see him reach the goal
Of his ambition.
Fargo Forum: Sheriff Stenson of Valley
City, came to Fargo Wednesday morn
ing after blind piggers, one Of whom es-
capped at Valley City Tuesday. He
found his man, Arne Olson, in the
Northern Pacific yards and took him
back on the delayed train. He captured
two more at Casselton, H. Stensli and
X. Lilthun, and the fourth man was
bagged at Valley City. These men have
lived at Valley City for some and are

months.
Ransom County Gazette: Republican
clubs are being formed all over the state
and North Dakota will evince it's loyalty
to the party at the National league
meeting at Buffalo next June by sending
a full delegation. Such organizations
are healthy. They create enthusiasm
and develope the young blood which is
the life of republicanism. The state
league meeting at Grand Forks the day
previous to the state convention was
we'll attended, and the delegation to Buff
falo is composed of the best workers in
the party. "Bob" Wallace heads the
list.
Ransom County Gazette: J. H. Rose
left his overcoat in Jos. Peterman's
livery stable one day last week and
shortly after failed to find it. Think
ing some one had hidden it for fun he
made enquiries but found he was mis-
taken. On going back to the stable and
searching he found the coat under the
feet of a horse in the next stall to the
one he had left it in. Some time after
on feeling in the pocket for a match he
found the inside of the pocket burned
out and the matches all gone Off" 1t
was a narrow escape from one of those
fires generally called mysterious"
Fargo Argus: Chris Christianson,
one of the two cheap imitators of New
York confidence men, who tried to work
their little game on A. T., Betterus and
Fl. A. Halverson, the hardy sons OF toll
from the county of Clay, and who was
arrested by the chief of the Fargo blue
coats on Monday night and the account
of which was in yesterdays Argus, was
brought before Justice Geary, who pro
nounced him guilty of a misdemeanor
and fined him $50. The fifty was not
forthcoming, and Christy was given
twenty-five days in the county Jail. His
pal was not found, which fact Christian
son laments most sincerely, for he is a
firm believer in the old saying that
''misery loves company"
Grand Forks Herald: The American
Surety company Of New York, yesterday
paid the bonds of Nelson, the %defaulting
teller Of the Union National bank, in
full. Being interviewed, Sidney Clarke,
cashier, stated that such was the case.
Mr.. Clarke said: We yesterday received
$500 from the bond company and that
without asking for it. AS o on as we
knew our loss we made up our proofs and
sent them in. Inspector Bowman came
and examined our books and sent in his
report. On receipt Of the reports the
company sent us their draft for the loss.
We always counted their bond just as
good as the cash, and they have done
just what we knew they would do. Pay
it promptly. The American Surety COM
pany is an "a l" company and no better
exists in the world. Our North Dakota
bankers know this, and this company
will continue to grow in favor with all
persons wanting bonds that will be paid
when forfeited.
