dence was discharged.
w. D. Boyce and family of Chicago,
are recent arrivals in Paris. MI. Boyce
is we'll known in Bismarck and North
DISCRETIONARY conducted a weekly
paper down in Ransom county-now n
of the leading publishers of Chicago
with money to ''throw at birds"
Attorney Leslie Simpson of Dickinson
closed a deal yesterday afternoon with
Porter and Flannery for the lot or Main
street next west of Ed Patterson's new
building. The consideration is said to
have been s1,7OO. Mr.. Simpson returned
to Dickinson last night. The deal was
made through Skeels.
Thos. Thorson, B. Rempel, D. Rempel
and Evan Olson, all of st. James, Mimi,
were at the Grand Pacific yesterday.
They were here to look up the prospect
for securing a township of railroad land
on which to locate a colony of their
neighbors, and are up north today to
look over the country.
The cement block, twelve feet wide
walk along the entire front of the Nc
Kenzie block on Main street is completed
and adds greatly to the metropolitan ap-
pearance of the city in that section.
Work has now begun or the stone street
crossings. Two fourteen-inch slabs of
granite will be laid, with concrete be-
tween-nothing like it in the state.
Most of tho Bismarck Fire company
returned from Wahpeton on the noon
train, and report having a good time
and fine treatment, though they were
not fortunate enough to capture any
prizes. The Dickinson boys, who were
on the same train were more fortunate,
getting first in the hub and hub race
and second in the association hose race.
Hon. w. d. Washburn is up north ex
aiming the route of his new railroad to
| Washburn, for which most OF the right
of-way has now been secured. It is
likely that a ferry will be established
this fall which will enable the Mercer
county settlers to haul their grain to
the road, instead of having to haul it
some sixty miles to New Salem as
formerly.
The supreme court has handed down
a decision in the appeal in the action
brought by Sheriff Wilson against Cass
county, to settle the fees that a sheriff is
entitled to charge for selling LANDS for
delinquent taxes under the Wood law.
In effect the decision of the court is that
the sheriff cannot charge the full fee for
each lot when the lands are sold in bulk
to the county.
The county officials of Billings county
want Senator McGillivray to pay taxes
in that county instead of Stark, and
last week attached a bunch of fourteen
of his horses which had strayed within
their bailiwick, claiming that about $500
was due for taxes during the past five
years. The bunch of stock will prob
ably be replevined today, and the ques-
ton settled by the courts.
Outside papers seems to be better ad-
vised about the N. P'.s intentions as to
division headquarters, than either Bis
marck or Mandan. One paper estimates
that the change would ruin Mandan. It
would do nothing of the sort. The
country tributary to Mandan is well set
tied and the city enjoys a good trade not
at all affected by railroad influences.
Nothing that either Bismarck or Man
dan can say or do will affect the matter
of the removal of shops and division
headquarters. 1t is a question of bust
policy pure and simple and the N. P.
will figure it out in due time and then
both communicative in total ignor-
ance-will know all about it.
