lIonoring Departing Citizens.

Monday evening Odd Fellows Hall was
filled with citizens Of the town ,of,Bot-
tineau and surrounding country to dc
honor to Capt. ]. G. Thompson and
family, under the auspices of Tuscan
Lodge. No. A., A, F. and A. NJ:
The hall is in. the second story of the
fine brick block of the Merchants Bank,
is 3ox4o feet, and there must have been
200 to 2oo ladies and gentlemen present.
From the view of THE PIONEER, Capt.
Thompson and family must have been
popular citizens t have called out SO vast
a to do homage to them in
leaving Bottineau for their new home a,
Garden City. Minn.-a new and yet an
old home. as it was where they came from
70 make this section of country their abid.
ing place. ..
The Bottineau cornet band was in at.
tendance and furnished enlivening music
during the festivities. The ceremonies
were under the direction of Mr.. John A.
Scott, who ably filled the position Of
chairman and toast master, who explained
the object to be a reception and farewell
gathering on behalf Of the masonic. frater-
nifty and citizens generally. and who
called upon Mr.. John Dinwoodie as the
first, speaker in rendering the regard of the
citizens to Capt. Thompson and family
who was followed in turn by Rev. w. H.
Wood, Of the Presbyterian Church, and
the pastor here in a scholarly and enter.
tanning address on the subject of Wash.
ington as a Master Mason and who tx
pressed the regret of the lodge here in
losing one of their members by removal,
Capt. Thompson having held for years
exalted positions in the order.
Lieut.. NJ. F. Holbrook. representing
Troop B., of which Capt. Thompson had
been a leading member and its captain
from its organization in 1887. was the
next speaker. and expressed the regret Of
the troop in losing him from among them,
and of the departure of the family from
B%ottineau, The troop was we'll repre-
scented by members in full, uniform.
Capt. Thompson was then called upon
and replied very feelingly on behalf o.
himself and family at the ovation ex
tended them. He recounted his adveu
into this country. having come here a
Deputy Collector of Customs. and having
during his stay. filled various positions o.
honor and trust at the hands of the people
This closed the speech making, which
was followed by a collation. furnished by
the ladies of the town. at the end of which
the hall was cleared, the Bottineau string
band called in and dancing, under the
direction of Gen. Thos. Gardner, the
popular customs officer here, was in
dulged in by the Younger, and some Of
the elders too, portions of the %concourse,
and which was. kept up till the wee small
hours.
The whole affair and the crowd would
have lone credit to a larger place and
more populous country, and has con-
vinced the new management of THE
PIONEER that Bottineau is second to none
in its hospitality and the wakefulness of
its citizens. The event was happy in the
extreme and reflected credit upon all con-
cerned.

Shadow went too near a saloon and
drowned his sorrow, where, among

The latter Immediately hogan to guy
Maber about his "big" benefit.
Angry words passed and finally
Griffo became enraged. when Maber
twitted him on the cause of his recent
Imprisonment. Critic challenged Maber
to come out on the board walk and the
argument would be quickly finished.
Maber accepted the challenge and In a
few moments both men, who were very
drunk, were sparring ut great rate.
while a large crowd stood around.
Both men went at 1t hammer and tongs
and honors were about evenly divided.
when Griffo swung q terrific right.
which landed on Maber's 1ugular and
the latter fell completely knocked out.
He was carried into saloon. where
he was brought around after fifteen
minutes hard work. The police were
looking for the fighters today. but
neither be found on the island.
