Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1892-09-09

Last week, just before gong to press,
the RECORD received notice for publica.
tlon, from Chairman Wishek, Of the
senatorial district committee, setting the
date for holding the district convention.
The date set-Friday. Sept. 80--is the
same as the day appointed for holding
the republican caucuses in Emmons
this latter fact not being known
to Mr.. Wlshek. Now, there is a big dele.
CATION from Emmons this year to the
district convention, such delegation con.
sistlng Of Messrs. H, w. Allen, F. H.
Cotton, Charles Lock, w. B. Andrus, Ed
ward Braddock, J. s. Browning, Lincoln
Cell, and E. G. Campbell. The writer,
knowing that it would not be fair to
the members Of the delegation-some of
whom are candidates for county of1ce-to
compel them to either absent themselves
from the caucuses or to allow the county
to 90 unrepresented at the Napoleon con.
vontion, announced change of date for
the caucuses from Friday to Monday,
Oct. 8, and at once wrote to Chairman
Parker asking HIM to reply by return
mail and either authorize. the change or
order it otherwise. But no reply has been
received-probably owing to the absence
from Winchester Of the chairman. But
that the date of Monday, Oct. 8, would
not do occurred to the writer soon after
the last issue, for on that day the CONS
mlssloners will meet, and the holding of
the caucuses at the same time would be
unfair to the members of the county
board and to those republican voters hav.
ing business before them. Therefore the
Sd proximo is out of the question, and
the 1st Saturday would not do, as it is
tho Sabbath day of number Of republi-
can voters of the county. But what is the
matter with Wednesday. Sept. 2s. If the
date were changed TO- that day, the dele.
gates from Emmons county could attend
the caucuses and also represent US at Ma
poleon. Otherwise, 1t will not be strange
if Emmons county's representation at the
district convention is rather slim. Be-
sides, there is no reason why the date
should not be changed. There are yet
two issues Of both the county papers be-
fore the date proposed--the 2sth-the
last issue Of the Times being on the 22d
and Of the Record on thes2Sd--six and
five days respectively before said date.
News Of the change would thus penetrate
to every nook and corner Of the county.
The change should certainly be made.

The Wonderful Chinook.

A correspondent at Calgary writes as
follows: ''On Wednesday night, Jan. 90,
this part of Canada witnessed one of
those peculiar phenomena called a Chi
nook. The day was an ordinary winter
day-clear, bright and frosty. About 8
p m, without sign of warning, gale
sprang up in an instant. Those inside
rushed out to see blizzard, but instead
they were met by clear sky and hot,
soft wind. In a few minutes the ther-
mometer jumped from few degrees
above zero to 4S above. The wind was
from a point or two north of west. A
change so sudden, though unusual, has
occurred before. But what seems strange
is that during all of this time the ther-
mometer was 40 degs. below zero at
Laggan, little over 100 miles west of
here, and in the mountains. A differ
ence of so degs. of heat in 100 miles
must be something wonderful. Yet the
wind, which was blowing gale, and at
times almost a hurricane, was blowing
directly from Laggan. The wind and
the heat was maintained during the
greater part of the night, and the cold
was intense at the other point for all
that time. Now, the question / would
like to ask the learned men of the east
is, Where does the chinook wind come
fromr'-TorontO Mail.

The End of a Connecticut Bull Case.

After the celebrated Winsted bull case
was ended On Friday the bull was deco
rated with ribbons and flags and led
through Main street. Upon the upper
part of the bulls appendage the animal
had handsome bouquet made Of white
ribbons; his horns were garlanded with
yellow ribbons, around his body was a
surcingle, and each of his sides was
ornamented with an American flag. He
was gaudy looking bovine, and his ap-
pearance drew plenty of attention from
the crowd of people on the streets.
He is small animal, not worth at the
outside over twelve dollars-he was sold
a few months since for ten dollars-but
this lawsuit, occupying nearly week
before a jury, with about sixty witnesses
on both sides, has brought his total cost
up to about $500-that is, reckoning the
costs on both sides, including lawyers
fees. The man who lost the suit not
only loses the bull, but as one dollar was
given to the plaintiff with the bull, the
loser will have the costs of the suit TO
pay, besides his own lawyers fees. Beef
comes high sometimes-especially bull

he had better get Philip to pick up the

consideration of the sum of fifteen cents
to clean up the remaining slate on the
following day. 1t was understood that
all the money was to be withheld until

Married on His Deathbed.

Wednesday Stroud Van Meter and Miss
Spencer were married at Marengo, Craw-
ford county, Ind, the bridegroom at the
time being on his deathbed. About ten
days ago Van Meter and two brothers
were injured by the premature explosion
of blast of dynamite while working in
a quarry near Marengo, his injuries con-
sisting of broken leg and arm, the loss
of an eye and internal injuries that viii
almost certainly cause his death. The
wounded man and Miss Spencer had
been for some months betrothed, and
were only waiting for an improvement in
their financial circumstances to have the
ceremony performed. When the acci-
dent occurred the young woman insisted
that the ceremony be performed at once
in order that she might be at liberty to
care for her betrothed.-Louisville Cou-

ring. The general belief is that shipping
will drive these fish from any waters,
but any one standing on the deck of a
boat lying in the stream can see millions
of them now. Saturday afternoon sew
eral boys were observed fishing in the
old Indian fashion, and they secured a
lot of fish. The Indian method is as
follows: Take a slender pole about
twenty feet long and drive in on one side
a dozen or two Of tenpenny nails; then,
sitting in the bow of the boat, propel it
by padding with the pole. The pole, in
passing through the water, catches the
fish on the nails. In this way a large
quantity may be caught III a short time.
