THE NEWS OF BELT.

OOobtN ls
beginning to assume a tangible
shape. There are many aspirants
for office on the republican ticket
and many persons who are being
pushed forward by their friends.
Among the latter class may be
mentioned K. r. Clingan whose
name is being used by his many
friends for state representative and
+. b. Buchanan AS a member of the
hoard of county commissioners from
this section. Each is an instance
where the office seeks the man. as
neither gentlemen is an aspirant for
office but is willing to serve the
taxpayers of Cascade county should
the convection choose them for the
respective offices their friends de-
sire to see them fill.
Mr.. Clingan baf been for a numb
er of years a citizen of this county,
and nothing has escaped his watch
full eye hat would benefit the coun-
ty, that he has not spent both time
and money to secure. He is a rep
resentative citizen of Cascade coun-
ty and if nominated to the office of
state representative the people will
see that he is elected.
Mr.. Buchanan is we'll known in
Cascade county, having like Mr..
Clingan large interests here, and
would certainly be a good commiss-
Toner from this section. He has in
vested his capital in the county and
has always been ready and willing
to further the interests of the people
of Cascade county. Should he Sc
cure the nomination one thing is
sure; he would do his duty and
those who cast their votes for him
will never regret their action.
Both gentlemen are too well know
to comment upon and they need no
introduction to the people Of Cas-
cade county. This section of the
county is entitled to recognition and
the selection of Clingan and Blu
chanan will materially strengthen
the ticket.
Frank Rush has more trouble than
you can shake a stick at. Tuesday
he started out to make an arrest and
now he is sorry that he spoke. He
went after a oma but found that
he was up against a buzz saw; it was
such close resemblance to a real
thing. The warrant of arrest accused
her of dealing another old dame a
few blows with a club. When Rush
reached the scene oftrouble he found
that the person of his quest was in
the house with the door locked, and
was willing only to hirt with the
young officer on the rinky dink plan
which says, "You may look, but
mustn't touch" 1t was another case
of that old song, never sung at par
lor entertainments, "Through the
keyhole in the door"
The officer broke the door, went
in and placed the woman under ar
rest. In breaking the door, the wo-
man, who was holding it from the in
side, received a u over the eye.
Some uncharitable person said that
Rush, being too courteous to raise
his hand against a woman, had used
an ak; but this he denies, and as the
allegation is unsupported by affida-
Wit, there appears no potent reason
why the officers version should not
be credited.
Rush says that while he was
preaching ar elaborate sermon upon
the evil of fighting, and the dangers
and dire consequences thereof, the
woman produced a gun and proceed
ed to do a COW boy act in rag time.
When the limb of the law started to
disarm her, she got a Lester start on
him and dashed for the brush with
Rush a good second. Fortune fav-
ored the officer, as her old gun was
rusty and wouldn't 60 off; SO Cook
was deprived of the happiness of
wearing his plug hat on the front
end of the hearse. Rush got her gun,
but she gave him the slip, and wan
dered in the wilderness for several
