Mr.. and Mrs. Kneeshaw came home and
as they came to the corner, the Pembina
Band struck up some sweet strains and
the couple were welcomed with hand
shakes and congratulations from their

twentieth wedding day. Later, towards

We have letter from deputy game
warden, Ned Cavileer, in which he states
that report has come to him that certain
Bathgate parties were shooting ducks in
Carter's slough the other day and states
that he will most certainly have any par
ty arrested that repeats the offense.
Now it is all right for Ned to uphold the
law, but the. difference in the report
makes it come to US that it was Pembina
parties who were doing the shooting and
not Bathgate or Neche parties. We
want it understood that parties living in
cavileer's home town, are tohaye no
more liberties than those residing else.
where Ind we will see that these little
lapses Of his personal friends are brought
to his attention in such manner that he
will take cognizance ofthem. Itwould
be by far nicer to wait until the law
allows shooting, but NE have tried it for
several years and have always found that
the game had been killed or nearly all
frightened away before the open season
If the game warden is in earnest about
this matter we will help him all we can
and the sportsmen Of Bathgate will do
the same, but it is not fair to. work a
game of "heads I win, tails you lose" on
these outside towns.-Pink Paper. :,
The above sounds like Editor Wilson
was out at the slough himself don't it?
Somebody else did it toon is always a
culprit's cry.

Drowned.

Again tne ked river CLAIMS its almost
annual sacrifice Of youth. On Tuesday
evening about five o'clock, Walter Pat
riquin, step-son Of Alex Airth ofthis city,
about 10 years old, was bathing with two
or three companions at the mouth of the
small coulee that runs to the river from
South Pembina. The river is at so high
a stage that the mouth Of the coulee
forms a little bay or inlet, about twenty
feet wide. The boys were swimming at
this place, and Walter, who could swim
but few strokes started in. saying, 81
am going to swim across" He got in
over his depth, began to struggle and
sink, and Dean Lockhart, boy about
his own age started to his assistance, but
though young Lockhart could swim,
Walter grasped him by the feet and so
nearly drowned him, that he had to kick
him of, and a second attempt resulted
in the same way, and then Walter sank.
Fred Roy who was on the bank not far
away ran to the background close by and
Guy Murrell and Ed. Arcons who hap
pened to be practicing there, ran to the
coulee and stripping off their clothing
began diving. Murrel touched the body
at the second dive, and then Arcons went
down i:ead first and brought it to the sur
face. The boys thought that not over
five minutes had passed since Walter
sank but. it was probably longer. but the
prompt action Of these young men GER
tainly deserves great credit. The boys
also withouta minutes delay, began to
use measures to resuscitate the body,
and in very few minutes after, Dr. Har-
ris was on the spot with many willing
helpers. But all the efforts were in vain,
and no spark was left to fan into the glow
of life again.
T The funeral occurred on Thursday at
Grace Episcopal church. Walter was a
bright boy and general favorite among
his companions, and his sudden death
casts gloom over the whole community.

DAN. SULLIVAN of Saw Bill, Canada,
wherever that may be, was on his way
southwark on the excursion day from
Winnipeg; Dan was tired and sleepy and
slept. Just after leaving Pembina the
brakeman told Dan that his pocket was
hanging inside out. Dan took account
of stock and said he had been robbed
and he knew by whom. Dan got off at
Macarthur, and came back afoot to Penn
bina. He found customs officer McQ uin
who told him of two men who had walk
ed over from Emerson. Dan said those
are the men want. He found them at
Hotel De Rushton and they gave up the
money with hardly murimur. and TAX

with many anxious looks behind, for fear
Of being followed. How much Dan lost
and found is little mixed, but Dan was
satisfied He said he had known the

THE American Day" at the Winnipeg
fair was a grand success. Notwithstand-
ing the bad weather Of the previous days
and the not very propitious skies on Fri
day morning, about $500 Americans
from the towns on both lines all the way
from Grand Forks crowded the trains.
The N. P. ran three sections, some 80
cars in all, and left here about 10 o'clock.
The excursionists arrived in the city
about one o'clock and as soon as they
got dinner spent the rest Of the time see
ing the sights. The attractions were
many and mostly very fine. The exhi-
billions at the fair proper, particularly in
cattle and horses were magnificent and
would probably equal anything to be
seen in any country. The amusements
were also frst-class and the fireworks
play The Siege of Algiers'' was most
beautiful exhibition. Our people return
ed home here about four in the morning
pretty tired, but expressing themselves
as highly pleased with their excursion.
Quite a number stayed over. There
were about 200 bought tickets at this
point. Owing to the bad weather the ex-
hibition was carried over for two days
this week.

On Tuesday there came one of those
peculiar, express boxes to our prohibi-
ton, county auditor Thomson. Strange
to say there was no attempt to disguise
its contents. 1t wasn't labelled "Miner-
al water" or "Bitters' or anything of the
sort, twas just plain Happy Home
Whiskey" with the names of the Ken
lucky distillers. A large proportion Of
the court house officials were somehow
attracted to the scene, and seemed in
tensely interested in the opening-of the
box, and it is stated that Clerk of Court
Hart brought in cork-screw, while De-
putty Treasurer Mcbride had a tumbler
in his pocket. Janitor Branden Johnson
just brought Els mouth, while Register
Chisholm had two.quart paper bag in
which to place his share on file. But,

court house satisfied with Fred Falley
the secretary of state. One lot Of court
house officials are mad because he sent
that kind Of box, and the rest are mad
because he didn't make the icontents
agree viii the label. Fred owes II,
apology to both parties. 81

P. McHuGH has been appointed post
master at Langdon. Mr.. McHugh was
the appointee of Hansbrough, and was
opposed, by congressman Johnson whose
candidate was D., H. Mcmillan, and thus
the internecine war in the republican
party Of Cavalier county is emphasized.
Personally we have nothing but pleasant
feelings for both McHugh and MILAN,
but we doubt if there is any political
peace In that county undl-both of 'efn
get post office, and in the mean time
no other republican need to run for Of.

SEATTLE. Wash, July 22.-B. R. Shaw, formerly a well-known insur. ance man of Seattle, has written let ter to a business man of this city in which he states frankly he does not ex- pect to be believed.
 This is great mining strike, says Shaw, probably the greatest on the American continent or. in the world. know you will not believe me if 1 tell you all about it. Gold has been fouad in great paying quantities, except on two creeks, about POO claims.
 ''Some of the pay streaks are nearly all gold. One thousand dollars to the pan is not an uncommon thing, and as high as 100 ounces have been taken out of single pan. It is not unusual to see men coming in with all the gold dust they can carry.
 You would not believe me when tell you that went into one cabin and counted Ave five-gallon oil cans full of gold dust, but it is a fact. It is the re- suit of the work of two men during the winter, and the dump is not much more than half worked out.
 There has been about S2, 900, 900 in dust taken out so far in the district. At low estimate I believe there will be $50, 900, 900 taken out during the ne \, year"

Carrying Coais to Nevc.s.is

HouGBToS, Mich. July Several hundred miners from Ohio and Penn sylvania bituminous coal fields have reached here in the past few days in search of work, and report that thou sands more are coming. drawn by reports of prosperity in the copper country. It is true that the local mines are work ing more men than ever before at the highest wages paid east of the Rocky mountains, but there are already 2,O00 idle men in the district, and the pros poets for coal miners securing employ ment here are small.
