Thirteenth street. The services were
conducted by the Rev. G. A. Chambers
rector of St. Georges church. Mes
danes Wentworth and Chambers sang
very feelingly two very beautiful and
appropriate hymns: "Blest be the Tie
that Bind" etc., and NEARER My God to
Thee" tn ... -
Judge Winchester, Stenographer
futile and Attorney General Spencer
left Wednesday afternoon for Williams
port, where a term of court is to be held
a 10 O'Clock this morning. The party
had arranged to stop at a farm house
about half way between here and their
destination over night, and proceed this
morning to the "county of magnificent
distances" The case of the state
against Lynn, district attorney, comes
up at this term, and with this, Steno-
grapher Tuttle thinks the term will
last three or four days.
From the abstract of personal prop
erty assessment. it is seen that the total
value of personal property in the state
is S443,5O9. This valuation, however,
cannot be used as a basis of computing
tax, for, under the 5000 exemption law,
there must be taken from this sl39,017
for exemption, leaving $303,492 taxable
personal valuation. The total personal
property, however, is less than last year,
when the valuation as made by the
board was $47S,91 and as there
was nothing exempt, a decrease of
over $175,0OO is made in taxable personal
property. OF course, the valuation is
not final, as material changes may be
made by the state board of equalization.

A country correspondent of the TR1B-
UNE, who has compared last weeks
Weekly TRIBUNE with Mr.. Moffat's
paper, calls attention to the lack of news
in the latter, mentioning particularly the
proceedings of the recent county con-
vention. The TRIBUNE gave almost YER
batim proceedings told who left
the convention and all through had
a tone of truth and fairness about it
severely in contrast with Moffat, who
"beat around the bush" and by innuendo
attempted to mislead his readers. What
ever may be charged against the TR1B-
uNE it endeavors to keep it's news col
umns reliable. Its reports Of conventions
of legislatures, of gatherings of any kind
are always correct-at least an error is
the exception. @f
Bridges in the western part of the
state are being burned in great num-
bers. Two more were burned Sunday
night, between Andrews and Sentinel
Butte, delaying yesterdays No. 2, about
seven hours. An amusing incident hap
pened in connection with the repairing
of these bridges. Superintendent Phelan
collected q carload Of "bums" in Dickin-
son and sent them to the scene to aid in
the work. They labored faithfully all
night, and when morning anne we're
given breakfast and asked what they
would consider a just recompense. They
didn't want money, nothing but a ticket
to Mandan would satisfy thsm, 80 each
was given a ticket, and they departed
happy. 1t is hoped Mandan appreciates
the addition to her population.
One Of the most pronounced cases OF
cold blooded, unalloyed cruelty to ami.
mails was witnessed Friday afternoon
A horse, belonging to Austin Logan ran
into a barbed wire fence, some days age
and cut himself badly in the region Of
the knee. Nj. Logan gave him to one
Broderick, who was to care for him, and
the horse has been lying in the scoroh
ing sun, his leg swelled to an alarming
degree, and infested with msggets ant
flies. The poor beast must have sufferet
, and yesterday afternoon, when the cas-
was called to the attention of Mayo
Allen, he came down town to find som
, one who hadn't the usual feminine oh
jections to shooting the animal. H
found someone without any delay what
ever, and the poor beast wa placed GU
of his misery.ai IL ;gIo z s. ~
