Court.

Court.
Judge Sauter came up on the N. P.
yesterday and opened court to sentence
three prisoners for highway robbery.
Last week man who had been WORKING
around Neche went with companion
across to Gretna to buy some che ID
underwear. On the return to Neche
they were held up at the bridge by two
men, who held the victim while the
companion" went through his pockets
and got $40. The two men were arrest
ed near Gretna taken to Winnipeg but
concluded to come over without watt
out extradition. The Companion" was
also arrested and confessed that he was
an accompice. The whole party plead
guilty, and lenient sentences asked on
account of their coming up willingly.
One OF the men, John Cassiday was in
Jail here short time ago for stealing
from ]. LaMoure & Cos, he was given
tour years. James Healey, twenty.six
years old could not give very credit
able account of himself and was given
three years. Dan Mack, twenty years
old, seems to have been the most inno-
cent of the gang, and would have turn
ed states evidence if necessary. He was
given two years and they will all be talk
en- to the penitentiary to serve out their
terms. Judge Sauter gave them an in
teresting lecture which, if they heed,
will make them better men when they
get free again.

v. Quackenbush says that he wants
all the votes he can get, and if elected
will do his duty to the best of his know
ledge, faithfully and impartially, and it is
we'll known he is fully capable.
James Turner is making friends wher-
ever he goes. He is good campaigner
and a good fellow. The Chronotype
says Jim is better looking than his. pic
ture, and we agree with the Chron otype.
Miss Oldham has arrived and while
not looking quite as we'll as Of yore is
much improved in health, and will re-
sumo her duties as teacher of the prim-
airy department on Monday next. Mrs.

Robert Irwin and "A. ]. McKibben of
Bowesmont were in the city Saturday
looking for any remains of Archie Bis
sell who took the train at St. Vincent
last week for some destination unknown.
and who left a number of creditors, in
Guiding some of the crew of the thresh-
ing outfit he was running.
State Treasurer to-be D. w. Driscoll.
Of Grafton, came in on yesterdays train
to shake hands with old acquaintance
here of whom he has many. The cares
and worries of the campaig n sit lightly
on his avoirdupois and genial presence.
Even the most radical Of the opposition
vote, Driscoll-a good fellow at least.
Jas. Devany, who has been running
the farm above the fort this summer, is
planning novel trip this coming winter.
He expects to leave in about three
weeks for Texas, to visit friends. He
will travel by rail until he strikes good
roads, after which he will board his bi.
cycle and make the balance of the dis
stance On his wheel.
Joseph Morrison, the fusion candidate
for legislature was in town Saturday. In
the nature of things he should not ex-
pect to get many votes in Pembina, be-
cause of his attitude on the commission
er board in the county seat fight. But
we presume there are some few citizens
here who think more of party than of
their home, and will vote for man who
always voted against Pembina, and that
contrary to the wishes of the majority of
the people who elected him.
