Otto Wallin has purchased the Anton
Peterson house, at present occupied by B.
A. Burns. Every house in town is now
occupied. and where Mr.. Burns will move
to is a question which perplexes that gen-
tleman very much, but one not easily de-
termined.
Rev. Sheckler of Bismarck, presiding
elder of the NJ. e. Church for this district:
visited Washburn last Saturday and in the
evening after the regular quarterly con-
ference preached a very interesting SER
mon. He also conducted the services Sun
day afternoon and evening, which were
highly appreciated by all present.
X. s. Ramsett Thursday moved his big
safe out of the store now occupied by Rob-
inson & Casselman, and conveyed it to the
steamboat landing preparatory to ship
ping it to Moorhead, where his brother
Ed. is now engaged in business. 1t is a
fine, large safe, but the Ramsett Bros. held
the price of it too high, according to R. g.
C.'s opinion.
| G. n. Hille of Pierre. S. D., accompanied
by A. VanHorn of Bismarck, came up
from Bismarck Thursday enroute to Fort
Berthold, where they will attend the razzle
dazzle that comes off there about noon to-
day in the shape of opening bids for the
construction of the agency buildings at
the mouth of the Little Missouri. It is
expected large number of bids will be
put in, which creates great anxiety among
those interested.
The Reporter and journal of Minot are
Just now having red-hot time between
them-aH on account of two candidates
for county superintendent of schools. The
Reporter is using very uncomplimentary
language toward Mr.. Wilson of the Journal,
and although it may please the depaved
tastes of q few lowbred people, We doubt
whether it will advance the cause of Prof.
johnson among the better class of citizens
in his campaign for the important position
he is seeking.
Having left Bismarck because of the fear
he had of ''blind pigs" running at large in
that city, Joe Katz came up to Mclean
county and moved on to his farm; but 10!
and behold, he found a .olind pig" in the
midst of his own herd. He went before
Justice c. to ascertain what the law re-
quired him to do with it, and was instruct
ed to fatten the animal and take good care
of it. Joe thinks it must have strayed
from the capital city after he left, and de-
sires the Leader to inquire if the authori-
tieso OF that city have lost any eyeless swine +!
The Coal Harbor and Washburn mines
will play their second game of base ball at
Coal Harbor tomorrow afternoon, and a
cordial invitation is extended to- the public.
The Washburn boys "got away" with the
Coal Harbor nine in their last game, and
feel quite confident that they can do it
again, but the Coal Harborites entertain
a very different opinion, and as defeat Or
victory is inevitable for one side or the
other, you may look for a thrilling time
and hotly contested game tomorrow.
Ye scribe expects to be on the ground al
SO, and he hopes to see large crowd at
Coal HarbOr ON the occasion.
