The milling and elevator property of
the North Dakota Milling Co., at Forest
River, recently purchased by Messrs Nc
Hugh & Gardner, of this city, is evidently
bargain. The company went into the
hands of receiver some time ago as a
result of business depression, resulting in
an auction sale of their property. $4,000
spot cash was the price paid for their
Forest River property and which at a
conservative estimate is valued at
$12,500. Hence it is plain to see that
Messrs. McHugh & Gardner made an ex-
ceptionally good deal.

The attention of the DEMOCRAT was
called one night this week to the uncared
for condition OF the court house grounds
and the manner in which the rank growth
of weeds and coarse grass is choking out
the life of the fine row of trees, planted
but two years ogo. Last year these trees
were all alive, now at least third, or
nearly thirty, have died through lack of
attention. Our commissioners adopt
resolutions and enforce laws for the
destruction of noxious weeds throughout
the county, but seem to have entirely
overlooked the state of affairs in their
own front yard. Doubtless now their
attention has been called to the matter
they will "catch on" There is still time
left in which much can be done to save
many Of the trees.

Grabbing her hat-pin, that fastened her
hat to her hair, she made plunge with
the pin on the robber nearest her. All
her strength was lent to the thrust, and
