ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Ed1bOfb OF the fl0NB1R ExPREe9:
My attention has been called to ma
licious communication in your paper of
January 18th, under the caption of Tax
payer, which states am boarding boy
who is paying for his board in work,
which assertion is false. Also, that the
commissioners paid bill of $500 for
boarding and clothing this same boy,
which is correct. The article is mislead-
fng.
The real facts of the case are these:
The boy came to my place in company
with two woodchoppers. My attention
was called to him, as he looked like a
bright boy. but from his clothing appear
ed in very poor circumstances. He told
me he had no mother, AMI that his father
did not live in this part of the country.
In charity for the boy l took him in.
and provided for him for the time being.
He was very ignorant, not knowing all
his letters, but was very anxious to at
tend school. He had little money ow-
ing him from man for whom he had
worked, and when he got that bought
some clothes for it,and purchased some
other necessary clothing, school books,
etc. to the amount of several dollars.
In the meantime reported the case to
Commissioner Myrick l told him what
the boy told me. He said for me to
keep the boy and he would call and in
vestigate the case, but he did not call.
The boy continued to remain at my place
and go to school. When the county
board met called on them in reference
to the support of the boy, and they fixed
the rate at $40 per month, and to make
an allowance OF So per month for his as
sistance and doing of chores about the
house. So every thing was agreed to by
the full board at the aoove figures, until
time of spring work, and for me to pre-
sent my bill at the next meeting of the
board, which l did and received the
amount agreed>upon.
During the time the boy was the victim
of two minor accidents which were seri-
Gus enough tolay him up for good
deal Of the time. While it is true that
the boy was physically able to earn his
own living, it is also true that had very
little use for his labor, except such Choir
es as was amply able to do myself, and
whick l would not think Of hiring done;
If any two business men in Pembina
should say to refund what I got for the
care of the boy will do SO without
word. The man who communicated the,
article is awolt in sleeps clothing. The
commissioners should not be criticised
for helping poor boy, who had been
robbed Of his education. He is model
boy, who was left motherless when a
mere child. Now that he has returned
home to his father, he has our deepest
sympathy, and we hope his father may|
realize the true situation. w. F. HUNT.

Last Friday afternoon rifle ball, Of
large calibre. entered the window of
Robert Johnson's house, smashing two
panes of glass and lodging in cushion
on a rocking chair. Mrs. Johnson and
Miss Aida were in the room. Aside
from fright no other harm was done:
Nothing can be learned from where the
ball was fired, or what at; no person here
hearing any report. Evidently it was a
long range rifle and the ball was spent.

w. q. Geysenheymer, our druggist,
and postmaster, for some reason which
deponent knoweth not, suddenly took
his departure on Wednesday last, and
now there is vacancy in the post Office.
This is one of the results of importing a
stranger, and through some hocus pocus
having him appointed post master. No
one being able to vouch whether he was
a republican or democrat, or even
knowing whether he was citizen or not,
while there were resident republicans
who would be glad to have the job.

troubles and its early use prevents con-
sumption. 1t was made to cure quickly.
