buyers in the city the past few days,
and competition has brought prices up
somewhat. In Mandan Saturday 2OO,-
600 pounds of wool were sold to one
buyer and $4,000 distributed among
Mandan wool growers.
Dickinson Press: The wool growers
are just discovering that there is a de-
mand for their product. The sale of
100000 pounds at Glen Ullin this week
brought eleven and one-half cents right
through. At Hebron the buyers paid
ten and ~fve-eights cents.
Miss Bessie Martin, who has been the
guest Of the Misses Davidson for the

and expresses herself as delighted with

this morning. This is an action to re-

picnic declare they heard the Farmers
voice distinctly on the Fourth and Hon.
E. A. Williams, at last accounts, was
chasing the echo up in the northwestern
part of the county where he has recently
purchased a section of land.
The weather Monday was about as
cold as it often gets in July-a chill,
drizzling rain and a melancholy, damp
wind being the features of the day. It
was a considerable change from the lat
ter part of last week, and will prevent
damage from hot weather for a time.
MI. and Mrs. T. W. Alvord returned
Tuesday night from their overland trip up
the Cannon Ball river. They drove as
far as the Rainy Buttes, about $50
miles southwest Of the city, and report
a very enjoyable trip. They have been
absent about three weeks.
Henry Tatley broke his left arm near
the wrist while out driving Saturday.
The pole of the buggy dropped in some
way, the team jerked him out of the
wagon, and threw him upon his arm,
breaking it. The injured member was
set yesterday, and he is doing as we'll as
could be expected.
P%laindealer: Eugene Fretz has a fine
collection of Indian relics, willed him
by his friend, George II. Winters, when
the latter left Grand Forks to mix with
the lights and shadows of Bismarck.
George coaxed them away from the
Injuns at Standing Rock while a trader
there.
VIM. Britton: I returned from a trip
to Illinois about two weeks ago. The
crops down there do not look we'll. They
have had no rain this year. Nearly all
the small streams are dry and hay will
be scarce. Crops in our neighborhood
look we'll, but those hot days-after the
rain hurt us a little.
Judge Winchester returned Sunday
morning from the west. Thursday he
visited with Ranchman White on the
Little Missouri, riding thirty miles horse
back over a rough country to get there,
and he drove into Dickinson Saturday
in a driving rain. The judge is quite a
plainsman, when it comes to rough
ing it.

erick was fined $40 and costs, but gave
notice of an appeal.
