Atty VIM. McMurchie was up from
the sanity city of Pembina the latter
part of last week. Mr.. McMurchle is
quite largely talked of by leading
democrats of the district as the dem
ocratic nominee for district Judge.
Divercing the judiciary from partisan
politics. it will be readily recognized
that Mr.. McMurchie possesses many
qualifications which fit him admirably
for the judgship' and should he be
nominated his opponent would have
to be a very popular man to defeat
him.-Milton Globe.

Frank were turning the team on the

and mangled, his ribs broken, bis
limbs skinned and his shoes and stock
ings torn from his feet. He leaves a
