of the Fourth was State Senator Worst
of Emmons county. He delivered an
eloquent and clever address, and main
tanned his reputation as one of the best
public speakers in the state. His
speech was listened to by a very
large audience, that overlooked the
ampitheatre."
The sentiment of the many farmers
who have been in the city within the
last week. in regard to crop prospects, is
that everything is propiticus. They say
that Notwithstanding the backward
spring, and its rather cold weather, the
crop is splendidly advanced. The soak
ing rains of the month have done much
to advance the wheat, and it Is now as
far advanced as it was at this time last
year.
VIM. Dryer of Napoleon, Logan
county, was in the city Thursday, and,
in conversation with some of the citi-
zens, said that he had seen crowds of
men at work on the grade, neal
Monango, and from what was seen and
heard, the rapid construction of the 500
is assured. Although somewhat tardy,
the 500 is coming to the front, and it is
hoped will reach this section of it's route
in the near future.
The sports were busy yesterday, with
a discussion of the merits Of the foot
race, to take place between a waiter at
the Sheridan and some stranger sprinter,
on the Fonrth. It is said that the bet
ting is fairly good, and about evenly
divided. Some of the careful ones look
upon the stranger doubtfully, and fear
that he may develop a startling speed,
! while others designate tie affair as a
"fake." It's a case of pay your money
and take your choice.
Fargo Forum: Senator Haggart OBJ
served a man wading about in the
Sheyenne river last evening, partly
clothed and acting in a strange amer.
On rescuing HIM from the water he
found the man to be a stranger afflicted
with an unbalanced mind. The Sena-
tor brought his friend to the city and
gave him into the charge of Sheriff Nc
Laren, who locked him up to await the
action of the insanity board. He had a
ticket to Bismarck in his pocket.
Mandan Pioneer: At the term of
court to be held in Mercer county this
week, the Josephus Plenty cases will
come before the court, and will probably
be disposed of. MI. Plenty who was ex-
pected to be on the ground before this,
is daily looked for. There is one other
case, a criminal case against a citizen
named Hoffman, but it will not be tried
at this time, as no jury has been called.
If it is a case that has any merits to it, a
jury will be called to dispose of it at the
fall term.
Hon. George H. Walsh: Yes, I saw
the interview, and the statement that I
was a candidate for the United States
senate from Bismarck. Quinn was re-
sponsible for that, he did the talking and
the reporter credited the interview to
me. Great boys those reporters. The
railroad commissioners have been max
ing an official tour of the roads. The
500 has begun operations on it's Bis
marck extension. now think the road
will be ironed through to Bismarck. The
magnificent crop prospects has much to
do with it.
The specially arranged foot race be-
tween the waiter at the Sheridan and
the stranger Splinter, came off accord
ing to program. The side betting on the
race was quite heavy, but most of the
betters favored the stranger, and some
odds were given in his favor. There
was some delay in starting and selecting
judges, but they we're started, finally,
and the waiter was not in it, being
beaten by about ten to fifteen feet. OF
course, there was kicking, unlimited, and
it was claimed that the start was not a
fair one, but the race went, anyway.
The fiery eyed Julius Stevens was in
it again Friday. He claims to have
given one of the ticket sellers SIS for q
ticket and received but S. in change,
Last evening he hunted up Judge Boyle
and, in a voice of thunder, his whole
frame shaking with suppressed excite,
ment, demanded a warrant. He did moi
know the man who "worked" him, and
as there was a sort of mystery cloudine
the whole affair, the Judge refused hin
the warrant. It is odd that Julius
should tender such an amount as ST.
for a ticket, but he did it, nevertheless
