right where they are. A pretty good
indication that the country suits them.
Litigation, no matter of what de-
%scription, is expensive-very. It is in
teresting to note that in the case of
Boyle VS.. Wooster tried at the recent
term of court, wherein Boyle obtained
Judgment for $50, the sum of $131.65
has attached to this, as the costs in
the case, making the total amount
against Wooster $16l.65. The matter
would have been probably settled out
of court.
Turtle Mountain Times: VIM. A.
Bentley is a candidate for speaker of
the house-but there are Only four re-
publican majority in the house. and
politics don't count for much in this
state this year. If any republican is to
preside over the house, we know of no
one who is o qualified or better fitted
for the position than General Bentley.
He is an old veteran and deserves all the
good things there are.
Fargo Republican: Prof. Clara S.
Hays (who it will be remembered had a
cooking class in Bismarck) has received
a call to the professorship of domestic
economy at the National Chautauqua in
New York. She will probably accept
the call as it will not conflict with her
duties here in the agricultural college
as it comes in vacation time. Mrs. Hays
was assistant professor at Chautauqua
during the summer of 1890.
Tom Fortunes freighting outfit was
busily engaged in loading up Saturday
afternoon, and will probably start out
this morning on the second trip to Fort
Yates. Tom was the first to make the
river crossing at Winona, several days
ago, and although the ice was somewhat
"treacherous in places, the crossing was
accomplished in safety. It is probable
there will be enough freighting to
Yates, to keep a crew busy the entire
winter.
1t will be gratifying to the many
friends of S. Fl. Scott, the former cashier
at the freight office, to learn that he has
been appointed agent in the place rem
dered vacant by the death of John
Davidson. During his term of service
as cashier Mr.. Scott has made many
friends on account of his business
ability, and they are assured of the
fact that under the management of Mr..
Scott affairs will run along smoothly as
heretofore.
). r. Randall, who has until lately
been employed by Mrs. Attrell, now
languishes in the county Jail, an evil
dence of his too great skill with the pen.
He forged a check for SIS on Mrs.
Attrell, and passed it at the place of S.
j.. Swanson. Swanson's clerk, finding
out that the check was bogus, swore out
a warrant for Randall'e arrest, and an
examination before Justice Fort re-
vealed sufficient eliminating evidence to
warrant his being bound over to the dis
trict court.
VIM. Braithwaite: I heard Monday
from Robert Mann, who came down
from Mclean county. Mann said that
as he was riding along he came upon
two buck deer who had been fighting
and whose horns had become locked.
AS he was watching them q hunter hap
pened along, shot one of them and then
walked up and stroked the other, who
was unable to move away, and finally
killed him also. Mann says deer and
antelope are more plentiful in Mclean
county than over before.
The county auditor is engaged at
present with the compilation of an alb
stract of the tax list for transmittal to
the state auditor. A glance over the
rates of taxation in the several districts
contained therein shows that Painted
Woods has the heaviest tax, 1853 mills.
Grass Lake is a close second with 33.2
mills, and Bismarck is third with 1914
mills. The lowest rate of taxation is in
Gibbs district, 1913 mills, no school tax
being levied, as there is a suficiency OF
funds in the school treasury.
Between turned rules Hi Raymond
prints the following in the Dawson
Times: "John Davidson, Northern
Pacific railway agent at Bismarck, is
dead, his funeral occurring on the 18th,
In various capacities, from paymaster to
agent at Bismarck, Mr.. Davidson has
been in the employ of the Northern
Pacific for upwards of twenty-five years
and every man who has ever worked
under his authority, including the writer
who had charge, of the telegraph office
under him in 1882, has a kind word and
warm memory for the departed"
Harvey Harris: I want to tell you Of
a rather curious assortment of persons
who we're in Mr.. Newton's office thil
morning. They were being examined
