full just now in that particular.
The only man ever convicted of steal
ing hedge fence was fined $40 by an
Iowa judge the other day. He pleaded
that he did it only 10 pfove to himself
that he was not suffering from delirum
tremens.. A short experience with North
Dakota's barb wire would quickly have
brought about some conclusion for him.
Mr.. II. A. Archambault has crossed the
| Missouri, and gone to take up his abode
on Grand River "Shambo," as he was
familiarly called. was an old resident Of
Emmons county, and under his some-
times rough exterior beats heart kind

There is an item going the rounds of
the North Dakota press to the effect that

Young Corky Patterson is very severe
on Commissioner Haak. Corky begged
Mr.. Haak to appoint him road supervisor
and fire warden: but the commissioner
selected Mr.. Brumble. That accounts

reason why, when his bosses tell him to
roast Haak, Corky bobs up willingly as
soon as they pull the string.

east for about year, is again back with
his North Dakota friends. Atpresent he
is stopping at Glencoe. Father Sloan
was the pioneer of Christianity on the
Missouri slope, and is always sure of

1t was sad day for Ira Young when
he met Braddock in the machine deal.
AS result, Braddock got his homestead,
and the A. g. T. company his live stock
and the machine. Armstrong gobbled
for the company 5000 that he had earned
by thrashing. All that Ira has to show
for two falls work is experience. But
experience is covered by the statute OF
, absolute exemptions, and that and lra's
hat and shoes the A. s. T. company will
now probably allow him to possess in
peace.
