A finely bloo6ed team of Arabian
mares, which have been seer on the

At Mapleton, Thursday, Hasledahl, the
elevator agent at Christine, received a
sentence of six months in the peniten-
tiary. Hasledahl, it will be remembered,
had n trial and received a sentence of
seven months, but his attorney, Hildreth

the indictment, and secured for him a
new trial. 1t is said the verdict is thought
to be just, and gives general satisfaction

year.-Jamestown Alert
The Knights of Pythias had a very
satisfactory session at Casselton. The
records show that there are o over
500 members in the state, against 472,
last January. A reception and bali was
rendered the grand officers, delegates
and visiting member, by the Casselton
lodge Wednesday evening. At the cleo
ton of officers, G. M. Dahl was made
grand chancellor, vice Aug. Roberts of
Fargo.
Auditor Avery: The board had too
much work to do to get at the matter of
levying tax for the ensuing year, but
will attend to the matter at its next
meeting. Many changes have been
made in, the valuation of real and person
al property, and the valuation of many
descriptions of property raised or
lowered a certain per cent, so that it will
be some time before the rolls are in
shape.
Mandan Pioneer: One would have
supposed that the readers of the Bis
marck Settler would have been interested
in learning that Morton, Emmons and
Kidder county republicans had instructed
their delegates to vote for Burleigh coun-
tvs candidate for district judge. But
Editor Moffet did not consider this inter
esting piece of news as worth making a
note of.
Some very fine chairs, used for seating
churches and buildings used for such
purposes, have been inspected by many
Of the citizens. They have been at the
Sheridan, and the Presbyterians, who
intend to reseat their church, are debat-
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of getting chairs.
Some of the members want pews, while
others prefer the chairs. The majority
of the congregation favor chairs.
Fred Pelham, manager for Gen. Lew
Wallace, has written parties here, in an
endeavor to arrange for a lecture by the
general, on his tour through the state.
AS there are only about twenty-five
nights to be arranged for it is imperative
that immediate arrangements be made,
if the general is to speak here. The oc-
casion may never occur again, and some
thing should be done to perfect arrange
ments for such a lecture
Report comes from Menoken and
vicinity, that a hailstorm did some dam
age to crops in that section, early Fri
day morning. MI. Shelton who was
in town yesterday, says that n end
of the hailsJorm stuck his farm, about
two miles this side of Menoken, but the
fall was not heavy and the damage
slight, although the general impression
seemed to be that the storm was more
destructive farther east.
Jamestown Alert: Whether or not a
state militia encampment will be held
this year depends upon the action of the
several companies in FORGETTING their per
diem, as there is not sufficient money to
pay this expense. Co. F. of Grand
Forks, has agreed to forfeit this sum,
and it is understood that Company H. of
this city has decided to forfeit their an
nual uniform fund, amounting to about
81 for each member.
A strange phenomenon is noted in
connection with a dog belonging to A. N.
Leslie. During the recent electrical

and peal of thunder. And, strange to
