jamestown keeps two policemen OF
duty at night to look out for buns,
hobos, and the wandering element. 1t

Tramps seek a cool place in transit,
now, and do most of their riding Mt
nights. About twenty five OF them
were to be seen on the tops Of the cars
of the midnight train recently. All of
these were uuceremoniously elected
when the train stopped, and no sooner
had 1t started than they had disappeared
all secreted away in various portions of
the train.

Mayor Allen: l see that old Judge
Gray has been making his false state
ments again. 1 know that Gray wrote
the article in the Settler, because "aint''
is used for lis not"-one of the old
mans failings: The article states that
six extra policemen were put on the
force on the day of the circus. That is
false, as only two We're appointed. The
judge is a good mud thrower but weak
on facts.
c. NJ. Dahl: We had a grand time up
at Devils Lake. The boys there are
royal entertainers, and every stranger
was taken care of. We have about LOO

Although the weather just at present
is warm, a glance at the records of the
weather bureau shows it to be not much
out of the ordinary. Last year the tenn
p%erature on August 4th was SO, as warm

perslstency and sagacity at the river
landing Tuesday, when the boat carry
ing the excursionists pulled out. The
McHugh boys we're aboard, and the dog
owned by them wanted to 90 too, but
was left on shore by his owners, who did
not want him along. As the boat moved
away from the shore, the dog looked at
it f%orlornly, as though bordering DER
the injustice of the thing. Suddenly the
boat moved in toward the shore to pass
a bend, and az it did so the dog, seeing
his opportunity, broke away from the
man who was holding him and struck
out for the bank. Into the water he
plunged and swan Justify toward the
boat, and for a moment everyone, both
on the boat and on shore, Joined in
cheering him. When he arrived along
side willing hands took hold and pulled
him aboard, and a bark of triumph
sounded as he shook the water from HIM
self and looked back at those left be-
hind.
