consists of G. s. Bauer, Fl. O'Brien, H.
L. Holmes and w. A. Murphy, all of
Neche, N. D. The party is bound for
the city of Mexico. Mr.. LaMoure said
that they might combine business with
pleasure and that the organization of a
company, for what purpose he would not
say, was a possibility.
A Wahpeton man, who recently re-
turned fran Klondike, has a. hard tale
to tell of the sutferings he saw coming
over the pass. He drew his W sled
across and succeeded all right, but says
he passed several parties, who had left
ahead of him that were in awful
straights. He found one poor fellow
doubled up in a snow bank, anxious|y
waiting for death. He could not make
the trip. In another party of two, the
fingers of one of the men were dropping
off from one hand as the result of the
terrible exposure he had undergone.
The tale of hardships in some instances
are terrible but the rush is greater than
ever.
George Saxton of Wahpeton pleaded
guilty to running a blind pig and was
sentenced to ninety days in Jail and to
pay a fine of S12O. Henry Miller, who
runs a pig at Mooreton, was tried and
found guilty getting ninety days and
500 fine. Ralph Maxwell, of Lidger-
wood, who has been before the court
for running a blind pig, pleaded guilty
to running a gambling room and was
fined s1C0. When he went into the
sheriff's Office to pay his fine he as.
saulted Deputy Sheriff Dan Jones, and
although Maxwell is considerable of a
pugilist he no doubt regrets his attack
upon young Jones, as Maxwell is now
under the doctors care.
