DEPUTY Sheriff Brown this morning
went out to DeFoe and arrested James
Allie on the charge OF grand larceny, on
a telegram from the sheriff of Anaconda,
Mont. Allie has been in this county
about six months, coming here from
Kansas. He has wife and four small
children and feels very badly over his
arrest. The particulars of his offence are
meager. A requisition will be made on
the governor of this state and Allie will;
be taken to Montana for trial.
The number of threshing bosses that
have stepped out this fall is numerous.
In one case at Cavalier, the woman cook,
widow with several small children,
has lost an entire fall's wages on which
she depended for her support this win
ter. These shippers are the fellows who
always pay their men little more and
thresh for little less than anybody else,
and Of course they Can afford to. 1t is
one ofthe wonders, how it is so many Of
these men Of almost absolute pecunlary
irresponsibiiity can get the expensive
outfit with which threshing is done in
this country.
i MEssERs. F. "A. Hart and Willie La
Moure arrived home after their long voy-
age down the raging Red yesterday.
They took size trip overland to the
Glasston slough and then came back to
the Red again and floated home. They
had fair success, getting abont one hum
dred ducks, tWenty-four rats and cou-
ple of geese. They got one of the geese
twice, but it was the same goose and so
don't count for more. Will thought the
|goose was dead, and the goose let him
think SO, until there was an opportunity,
and then Will saw the dead goose slide
out Of the boat under water, and then
disappear in the darkness. The hunters
report very pleasant trip, except for
the annoyance mentioned.
AT the invitation of Mrs. c. Full and
Mrs. George McQuinn, a very large
company Of friends assembled in the
commodious parlors of Mrs. Full yes
terday to meet Mesdames Godward,
Brennan and Hogg VIII o are the brides
of the season. The number of invita-
tons was So large that the company
was divided into two sections, one part
being received in the afternoon and the
other rart in the evening, Music and
games were on the pleasant program.
and in ;,.c afternoon Mrs. Moore show
ed her proficiency as a jeweler by being
able to answer more conundrums about
q watch than any one else, while Mrs.
Frank Feldman and Will Coats were
equally we'll up in bicycle parts in the
evening and all were suitably rewarded.
+. A. Waydwell was properly presented
the BOBBY prize because he made mis-
take in printing the game cards. The
refreshments were served at tables and
were very delicate and rich. The lady
thostesses and their households did every
thing hospitable and kindly, and their
efforts to make a pleasant evening for
their guests Of honor and visitors, were
crowned with the greatest success and
each person present feels gratful to
them for the unique idea and its success
ful execution. We wanted to say, how
Iprettily the brides looked and how nice.
ly they were dressed and how they SO
charmed the company, with their Affect
led appearances Of old-married people,
but one bride is task for the reporters
lpen, and three of them-are Just over
Towering. However we hope and ex-
|pect similar occasions will occur in the
near futAre now the fashion is set, and
that we may get invitations.
