Hail was reported to have damaged
crops to Il slight extent in Loan town
ship last week.
GA SIRENS Victims is the title OF a
new serial story the open chapters ol
which appear on another page OF this
issue.
The high wind that accompanied
Tuesdays hail storm is reported to have
moved Peter Stewards large frame
barn several inches Off it's foundation.
Threshing in tugustin Cavalier county
is early enough as a general thing, but
this year there will be little if any OF the
crop unthrcshed by the close OF the
month.
Judge Sauter since returning from his
Montana trip last week has notified
court,here Sept. list for the purpose OF
granting citizen papers.
Since the lady barber struck Hannah
all the old baldheads have shaved off
their boards. Its the most smooth faced
community on the face OF the earth since
she struck the end Of the line.
Second or final citizen papers must be
taken out before you can vote, ii you are
foreign born. Better keep this in mind
and take advantage OF the first term OF
open court, Saturday, September LIST,
to secure them.
Wheat is beng harvested in every
section of Cavalier county this week, in
fact along the eastern boundary from
Montrose north to Fremont cutting will
practically be finished before the end OF
the week. Estimates OF half crop are
what is most generally heard, though 1T
remains for the thresher to show how
near he hit Or miss calculator has come
to scoring a bulls eye. One thing GER
tain Cavalier can assure herself a front
seat on the No. l hard band wagon Of
the Flickertal state again this year.
Small pex has become quite an cpl
demic within the last two weeks among
the half breeds OF the Turtle Mountain
reservation. Twenty seven cases have
been found aud three death occurred.
The reservation has been quarantined
against the surrounding towns OF Rolla,
st. John and Beleourt, all roads being
patroled by guards night and day. No
cases have so far being reported among
the whites, who however, are consider
ably alarmed. The supposition has
gained ground there that a half breed
travelling from olga lis responsible for
the outbreak.
Threshers are beginning to figure out
the work to be done this season at least
two weeks earlier than has been usual in
years past. In the last few days Sheriff
Robertson has gotten his outfit hauled
from it's winter quarters and in readiness
to start in with the first. Hugh
Montcrief steamed up new Garr-Scott
rig on Friday which will commence oper-
ations in Billings and Perry, where there
is far more wheat than many have esti-
mated. All local threshermen expect
good falls work and 1t is hardly likely
after the experience OF a year ago with
such outsiders as Mcintyre and Beckett,
that they will be disappointed. There
may not be much threshing in the Valley
this fall, but the stranger who ships in a
zig from below to the detriment OF home
industry may look for frost"
