Gerald Pierce has adialect poem in the
Minneapolis Tribune of Saturday, on "The
Coming of James Whltcomb Riley which
is a surprise to many of his friends in its
excellence of composition. Gerald while
in Bismarck seems never to have given

were aware of his worship at the shrine of
the goddess of song.
Fargo Argus: 1t seems that the wager
between eX' Governor Burke and Ed. Fitz-
gerald, as %chronicled in Fridays Argus
has fallen through. This is not due to a
lack of interest on the part of Governor
Burke. but from the fact that Fitzgerald
was too sure the governor would live up
to his agreement and win the bet. Ed. did
but presented Governor Burke with a box
OF cigars and called it square.

Judge Winchester has returned from a
trip to Duluth. where he went TO look
after a case involving over $500 and be-
longing to G. A. King Of MenOken. 1t
seems that MIR. King sent a consignment
of wheat to Duluth parties and received a

worthless. The judge went to Duluth
prepared to arrest the buyers, but when
they found that things looked busy for
them they made haste to pay over the
amount due.
The two prisoners who vacated the Jail
Sunday evening are still at large and no
| definite information has been received as

took. the evening passenger for the east
and the fact that the sheriff yesterday re-
ceived a telegram from John SimOns, the
chief Of police Of West Superior, asking

has some trace of the men.
