About Estray Horses.

There is considerable trouble over the
ranges north of us-av times-about es-
trays, more especially horses. In the
early spring time horses are more prone
to wander than at any other time OF the
wear unless we except the season when
mosauetoes are bad. People, for the
most part, can avoid trouble about es-
trays, by being more careful in watching
their herds, and keeping within the letter
of the law. Ignorance of the law is no
excuse. Schools are we'll equipped here'
for educational purposes, and one chooses
to be dummy" generally he or she is
to blame for it. The laws OF the State
are printed in plain English, bound in
convenient book form and are open for
p,rusal by courtesy of the principal OFF,
GERS at every county capital in the State
The following from the Botteneau Cour'
ant, although only referring to some
matters about happenings in that county,
contains useful hints, that should be heed
ed b. many people beyond the limits OF
Botteneau county. We quote:
"For the past four or i've weeks The
Courant has heard of horses that have
myster,ously strayed. In some instances
the horses have been been known to have
estrayed-in others not. Thers have
been several advertisements in The Cour
ant of stray animals, notably among them
buck-skin mare, white face, branded on
left hip with figure z, and set Of har-
ness on, belonging to Mr.. Geo: a Hascke'
that got away while being hitched MP.
Though advertised, nothing has been
heard of her. Those taking up animals
should be careful in not keeping them
over fifteen days before advertising them'
as they are liable under the estray law.
Mr.. Jno. Hofacker has a bay mare ad-
vertised in this issue as having stsayed or
been etolen. With all the horses We have
heard of straying, and nothing being
heard of them, the question arises
We horse thieves amongst US! 1t so,
there are telegraph poles near and plenty
of rope. If you have stray horse come
n and advertise it.

MEMORIAL ODE.

Thirty years have now pa sser O'erNs
Since we heard the battles blast;
Thirty years full Of Joy and sorrow,
Are enrolled on the numbers Of the past.
After three times ten We meet together
To greet our comrades old and true
And to instill patriotic feeling
In the generations new. I2
Generations which in future ages g
In reading tile story Of the past,
Will learn that a y tri ~; brave devotion
Brings respect and honor till the last.
But each year there are comrades missing
To whom last year we greeting gage; =
Each year we hear more phantom footsteps
Still marching on beyond the grave.
And shall they who took no part In "
The throes of mighty nation torn apart
They who moved not, even to put heart in
Our strife, when we healed a notions broken
heart.
Arethey the ones to complain and grumble,
Are tlloy the ones to growl and grunt-
II the veterans last fewsteps on the road OF
life,
Were smoothed by grateful government?
Yet this day we beg you all to- 5oin us
In our meal Of plain and homely food,
Our baskets though both large and coplous,
Are well filled by a nations gratitude.

Fishing Partie. Getting a Move On.

Billy Dolen, forman of the Bismarck
Tribune bindery, accompanied bv George
McGregory, Fred Arnold and Rus Boltan,
all from the capital city, reached Wash
burn. Wednesday evening. With the e1-
ception of MIR. Dolen, they seemed in
clined to be good, for they went to our
free-for.all church soon after their arrival
in town. They had skif and load of
campers trumpery, and were bound for
three weeks cruise around the crimson
and oderous shores of Strawberry Lake.
They report another large party as having
left Bismark under the guidance of Hunt
or Deiterich who will hunt duck eggs in
the lakes and lagoons of the Prophet
Mountain country. The Billy Dolen
party were we'll supplied with fishing
tackle aud worms, but We are afraid from
reports, that the usual luck ascribed to
fisherman will be their portion. Only
last week, in passing the lake, Johnny
Nichols found the deserted camping places
of several fishing parties. ard laying on
the ground to rot were hundreds of
pounds of small fish. They had been
seined out from the lake, and dumped, the
larger ones picked over and the smaller
ones left to die and talnt the atmosphere.
AIof which leads us to inquire: Is there
a God in Israel or Fish Warden in the
land of the DakOtas?
