house stalls and the car repair shop |
were a sight this week on the arrival
of train from Mandan-24 hours on
the way-containing refrigerator cars

Philippines. The cars had to be

The Hazelton Republican criticises
the statute which compels any one
wanting the bounty on wolf he has
killed to take two witndssas with
him to the county seat in order to
comply with the law and get his re-
ward. The expense of the visit, es-
pecially if one must stay all night, is
more than the bounty. The Repub-
lican suggests that the next legisla-
ture amend the statute so as to allow
notaries public to do the swear work
and issue an order for the bounty.
