Twenty convicts have been put at
work upon the new road from the city to
the pen, and that thoroughfare now pre-
sente a lively appearance. The blowing
was done as far as the Quinlan place be-
fore the work was suspended, and the
men are now scraping and grading, and
doing the other incidental work. It is
thought it will take about six weeks or
two months to complete the job, and get
the road into shape for travel.

The printer boys in the city are sup.
porting at the hospital a comrade from
the west, who came here some days ago,
and was taken ill a day or so after his
arrival. The boys chip in to pay for his
sustenance, nursing and medical attend
ance, and trust the brother craftsman
may soon recover from his illness. None
are more generous and free hearted than
the knights of the stick and rule, and
they never allow a worthy comrade to
suffer when they have the w~herewithal
to aid him.
Hobos are thick along the road, not
withstanding the beginning of the har-
vest season. At Dickinson yesterday
five cars of merchandise we're broken
into and various articles taken.

reward for the two missing convicts,

been heard from, nor has any trace of
them been discovered, but Mr.. Wilson
says he believes they will be appre-
hended, as he does not think Watkins
will leave the state, but will show up
somewhere at his old tricks.
G. J. Fisk, who has been in the city
during the past three weeks, engaged
with the compilation on the codes, left
for Grand Forks on Saturday morning.
The political code, in the compilation OF
which he has been more particularly in
terested, Is now printed, and the civil
code is we'll under way. Messrs. Bradley
and Hamilton are now busy indexing.
