department but two base ball teams
who cross bats weekly and furnish
sport for the rooters. The clubs are
known as the High Collars and the
Dirty Sox, which is sufficiently ex-

their members. The latter of course
is the stronger of the two teams.

The following apology printed in
the Minneapolis papers of May 1S
will be of interest to the many friends
of Capt. and Mrs. A. E. Neate in this
county: "The case of Isabel w. How
ard VS.. the New Store for malicious
prosecution now on the calendar of
district court was today settled and
dismissed. Miss Howard, now Mrs.
Neate, was arrested by the defendants
charged with stealing a piece of lace
and having been discharged on trial
The proprietOr> OF the new store found
on investigation that Mrs. Neate is a
lady of culture and refinement and of
such character as entirely disproves
any suspicion of her having taken any
goods 1room them or anyone else. Her
family connections as we'll as her
character and reputation, utterly neg
alive such a possibility on her part.
Had the facts in connection with her
arrest been known at the time, as they
are known now no prosecution would
have been initiated. The proprietors
of the new store acted in good faith
and regret exceedingly the injury
caused to Mrs. Neate's feelings by
her incarceration and arrest. Mrs.
Neate did not bring the action for the
sake of getting money from the defend
ants but for complete vindication
and this the proprietors of the new
store have cheerfully given. Evans,

Last Friday a company of gypsies
invaded the town and made a brief
but eventful stay here. They were
not of the usual gypsy breed but were
as dirty and picturesque as any Ro-
many traveller who ever cut Il throat.
They were en- route to the coast and
came here by wagon from st. Paul.
Just how many were in the party it is
hard to state as only Il dozen or so
came into town to ply their vocation,
the rest remaining in the outskirts.
A number of women and children can
vassed the town begging, stealing and
telling fortunes but did not accomplish
much. The men in charge stated that
they were natives of Brazil in South
America, but they resembled Assyri-
ans in features and dress. The wo-
men who did the fortune telling were
fairly cornely but very dirty and I.
little too persistent in their solicita-
tons. Forsyth was quite fortunate in
becoming rid of them SO soon, as Miles
City and Glendive were compelled tc
issue very pressing invitations through
their police officers to- get them started
ON their way.

AUGUSTINE PARK

We have visited numerous resorts con-
tingent to the cities and lying beside
the ocean and along the Delaware Bay,
but we have found none more attractive
to either the city or country guest than
the one known as st. Augustine Park,
but to the local residents as "Port Penn
Piers" now under the management OF
Mr.. A. Cordery a genial and pleasant
gentleman, who has personally superln-
tended large force of men thoroughly
renovating and beautifying the grounds
since he purchased it and providing var
ious amusements. With the large
steamer Twilight" making daily excur-
sions and bringing immense crowds he is
rapidly bringing this fayorite resort into
prominence while his hotel is run strictly
upon metropolitan basis under the sup
ervision of Mrs. Cordery.
Mr.. Cordery formerly was at Woodland
Beach, put believing the "Pier' more
favorable and desirable location, decided
to remove to that place.
He proposes giving dances every Thurs
day evening, but in the mean time has
instructed his employees and servants to
make it as pleasant as possible for all
pic-nic-ers who visit the Park.
The Beach is safer by far for bathing
parties than any ether within radius of
twenty miles, while the fishing and crab
bing are excellent and the new road
lately built, lying as it does, well above
The high-water mark, enables all parties
to reach there without the danger atten-
liant upon having to drive over cause
way covered with water.
We trust Mr.. Cordery may have a sue
,essful season and not have cause to re-
yret his advent among us, believing as
We do that success will attend his efforts
n catering to the residents of this COM
nunity.
