LINTON. NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER

witnesses 1t vas found that an error
had been made In the description. 1t
was not claimed at that time that the
error had been made by the Record
folks.
A new notice of publication was
made out by the clerk OF court and It
was again published in the Record.
On the day Of proof 1t was found that
the land was again wrongly described.
Mr.. Patterson, In company with
Mr.. Biechler, appeared at the Record
Office and asked to see the copy Of the
notice: the foreman, Thomas Starr,
being. the only one of the office force
present at the time. Mr.. p. asked to
see the copy. Mr.. Starr searched for
the copy; but, as little care Is taken
in printing offices to preserve ''dcad''
copy (c0py Of anything put in type and
published in the paper), it could not
be found. When Mr.. p. saw that the
copy was not forthcoming he atOnce
claimed (which he had mt done be-
fore) that the mistake had been made
by the Record people.
Luckily, however, when proof no.
tice goes to the land Office three pa-
perS are necessary--Une to be signed
by the register of the land Office and
forwarded to the printer, one to be
posted In the land Office, and the third
1.-THE application to make proof to be
filed by the register. Each of these
three notices contains al description of
the land. The publisher of the Record
at once wrote to the land Office asking
for the description Of the Biecller
land as given In Mr.. Patterson's NO.
tices. The land-Otiicc people complied
with the request, and :tAe description
received sksus that the notice uas printed

The description received from the
land office, taken from Mr.. P.'s writ.

proper place is reached my partner and 1 run for the high ground, and send in the muzzled bulldogs. There is a big roar for a while, and then the drove is sure to break cover for the high ground. There is where we will get our shooting.
 q use a 30-3O rifle, and find it just the gun for the work. If the dogs are close behind the pigs, roofing and worrying them so they keep turn ing and snapping all the time, our work is easier, and the hogs do not spoil so much pork. If they have the time the band will stop and kill every wounded one, and that cannibalistic peculiarity is taken advantage of by a hardpressed hunter. When drove is coming on, they are oblivious to everything but getting away from the dogs, and we sometimes kill dozen or two before they get past us. If it is a small band, we will get them before they are out of range, though usually some run away.
 "The best part of the sport is that not a pound of meat is wasted, nor

and on the Yuma side of the river. AS near as can find out, the hogs were turned loose originally. They are much larger than the Mexican peccaries, some of the boars that we killed during our stay weighing nearly 400 pounds I have some tushes that are large enough for walking stick handles.
 "These hogs travel in fair-sized droves. not usually as many as the peccares. but they are every bit as fierce, and if they come after you there is only one thing to do, and that is to kill off every one of them or run. There are no trees in that country, and the sport is as exciting as anyone cares to have.
 "The method of hunting them in the Lower Colorado country is an original one, and I believe it is not pursued elsewhere. The hogs run into the jules and lie there all day. There is only one good way to rout them out, and that is to send in mug zled dogs. These will turn out a drove of pigs in short order,

Why Dogs Are Muzzled.

"You may wonder why the dogs are muzzled. It is necessary pre- caution. The muzzles keep them from catching hold of the hogs. If the dogs were jaw-free, they would hold the drove in the jules and there would be a desperate fight there that would end in our losing the dogs and getting no hogs. Hounds, would be no good for this kind of hunting because they have not the grit to keep on roofing at a pig and worrying him as the bulldogs do. A hound will do well enough for trailing purposes, but we never have any difficulty in loca- ting a drove of hogs, because the motions of the tule show where they are.
 "The method of procedure is to get on rise of land above the tule beds and look about until we see signs of pigs. Usually it is no great distance we have to go after them. When the

SHOOTING PIGS ALONG THE COL LORADO
GEORGE W. FUGARD WELL KNOWN THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AS AN ENTERTAINING MANUFACTURER OF FICTION, TELLS HOW
 HE HUNTS THE WILD PIG ALONG THE
 COLORADO RIVER BELOW YUMA

The San Diego Union produces the following entertaining piece of fiction founded on fact which is too good to be lost:
 George Fugard, a veteran hunter who used to know the ways of the big game of Lower California better than any one, and who has many friends in San Diego, has been having an imense amount of fun with the wild hogs in the Verde Colorado country, below Yuma. In a letter to friend he writes:
 Those who want their deer can have them. For me, I will take the hogs. They are the gamest things, and afford the finest sport of any animals I have ever hunted, and dur ing my life I have taken a day with nearly all of them.
 "The place where we had our fun is just on the international line, across from the Imperial Settlements,

Good Reports from Imperial.

is being done in the Imperial Set dement's:
 Frank Mertzman and MT. Mayors have returned from a trip to the I'm perial country. MT. Mertzman says that they passed Engineer Richards of the San DiegO-Eastern and party in the Carisso Creek canyon Tuesday. They were busily engaged in running a. second survey line. MT. Richards thought that he would be detained for seven or eight days in that To- cality.
 MT. Richards has a daughter who is in poor health with him in the hope shat she will be benefited by the pure atmosphere of the mountains. She is not doing very we'll but appears to be better since leaving her home in Los Angeles.
 MT. Mertzman and MT. Mayors left here on the 14th of April, driving and going by the way of Carisso. MT. Mertzman says that he would advise travellers who like comfort to go by the way of Jacumba instead. They passed the surveying party near Blue Lake and again at Imperial. Mr. MGTILU1du Sdlu IudJ Iucy ulll uOI oCC my Southern Pacific surveyors work ng in that country. There was some thing doing on the survey of the line from Flowing Wells to Imperial and lit was stated that construction work will begin at once.
 A Fine Country
 MT. Mertzman says that it is fine country and that he wishes that every croaker who has talked of San Diego having no back country could be compelled to make the trip so that he would have to eat his words. "Of course" he added, ''it is now tribu- l tary to Los Angeles, but when the San DiegO-Eastern is built it will not be so We saw some of the finest hay and grain crops that I have ever laid my eyes on. We saw some hay that will cut at the least calculation five tons to the acre. That is pretty heavy, but it is a fact. Wherever there is water til Are is luxuriant vege- | tatiOn.
 Imperial Improvements.
 "There is a gentleman at Imperial who is going to build an ice plant and he says that he will start the work at
  and has it on hand. The Imperial Land Company is building a brick store forty by eighty feet in which they will sell agricultural implements, drugs and general merchandise. There is also talk of two-story hotel al though it has not materialized to any definite degree as yet.
 Development Work.
 ''The injunction suit which pre- vented the irrigators from using the Carter River has been dissolved and the whole country appears prosper ous. It is my opinion that the best soil is near Blue Lake and East Side. The men are clearing off the town site at Blue Lake. There are forty or fifty at work and they are pushing it through.
 The Weather All Right
 "The weather was fine It has not gotten very warm as yet There was little disag agreeable wind on the trip. We were told at Imperial that it was the strongest for two years past. We drove through snow at Warmers ranch as we were going out. Gen. erally speaking, the weather is all right.

MccI.A1R ON BONDS

Shedrick McClair, known throughout the city and surrounding country as a former representative of the Law and Order league, and more recently as the proprietor of a private detective agen- cy, was yesterday before the city court to answer to charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace. The complain ant was his wife, Marcia McClair.
 According to the evidence as given by the policemen who made the arrest, they received complaint from a man who rooms in the house. There are two men rooming In the house. The house is at 1079 Chapel street. McClair, it seems, came home Thursday night very much under the influence of liquor. He started @ rumpus and his wife, fearing for her personal safety, called in the boarders.
 One stood guard over McClair, while the other went for policeman. Me- Claire was later taken to police head quarters.
 Yesterday morning he was released under bonds of $75 in each charge, the bonds being furnished by Secretary Samuel P. Thrasher, of the Law and Order league, for which McClair has done considerable work. His case was continued until next Saturday.

have lost $20O through Bakers crooked work in the theatrical business, but that case was nolled after long talk between prisoner, attorney and defend ant yesterday.
 The other case with which Baker is connected is that of theft of a ring val ued at $35 from Miss Bernfield. This was alleged to have been turned over to Baker by Miss BernfieId as security for her promise to appear in Boston and start on the stage with him. Miss Bernfield appeared, but Baker did not, and he was arrested some weeks after by the Hartford detectives, after which he was brought here by Detective Ser geant Dennehy. The case of theft went over until to-day.
 On recommendation by the city attor- ney Bakers bond was reduced from $600 to $500 and he was released, bail being furnished by Deputy Sheriff Philip Goodhart.

A GLIMPSE OF DICKENS.

Another artist who looks back with gratitude to Dickens I note sketching a little boy who, with 8 great lump of clay in front of him, is seated In the sculptor's studio, beginning his art career, and tells once more the story of when he was engaged in this artistic effort. "A bright, lively young man, good looking, and with dark flowing locks entered the studio, accompanied by Behnes, and took his seat in com- fortable arm chair on revolving platform. He, too, seemed amused at the scene-and very much so when he caught sight of 8 small boy sitting in front of a foot almost as big as him. self, with a bun on one side and a large lump of clay on the other, which he was trying to thumb into shape. I was the little boy, and the lively young man with the dark flowing locks was Charles Dickens. He came and looked over me, patted me on the head, and said some kind things; but I did not know who he was till afterwards" So says MT. G. A. Storey. And the same genial artist takes from his pocket a sketch of "Old Weller" his first artis-
 tic effort, which eventually he discov- cred was the finger post pointing to art and fame.-Harry Furniss, in The Strand Magazine. r

BAUM CASE SETTLED.

The contested divorce case of Laura May Baum against John Edward Baum reached an abrupt termination in the superior court yesterday. The defend ant was putting in testimony, and after his father had testifiel Judge Roraback forthwith ordered that g. decree for the plaintiff be entered. He also denied the application of the defendant for an order giving him the right to see his child occasionally. The child will re- main in the possession of it's mother, and the court said it would be discre- tionary with her whether the father should see 1t.
 It is believed that the court was in- fluenced largely by testimony that was put in yesterday morning, in which it was shown that Baum had been treated at Grace hospital for acute alcoholism. Mrs. Baum's complaint alleged habitual intemperance and intolerable cruelty.
 Baum was formerly dealer in fla voring extracts in this city. He is now a travelling salesman.

PONSONBY OGLE.

Ponsonby Ogla, who died of pneumo- nia on Wednesday night in Milan, Italy, and wto was a nephew Of Mrs. James M. B. Dwight of 51 Hillhouse avenue, this city, was a well known English journalist and was once connected with the London Times.
 MT. Ogle went to New Marlboro about three weeks ago from New Haven and had since bought about 1000 acres of land, being one of the largest real es- tate owners in western Massachusetts. He had plans now under way for i'm proving his estate and making it one of the best in the section, and had he lived it would undoubtedly have been rival of the Whitney estate on October moun- tain. He was wealthy Englishman of we'll known English family, and a very liberal man.
