Hazelton Republican,: Everybody
tributary to Braddock will regret the
statement in w. T. Best's advertise
ment to the effect that he contem-
plates leaving there. He and his esti-
mable family located there three years
ago when Braddock was in its infancy
and when it had larger territory
tributary to it than it now enjoys since
the extension of the 500 and the build
ing of the N. P. branch in the county.
He has been prominent in working for
the business interests of the town, and
is a business man whom 1t is q pleas
ure to come in contact with. He and
Mrs. Best occupy place in Braddock's
social circle that will not be easily

Mandan Pioneer: Will the citizens
of North Dakota who have money to
invest, please look out for man
named Crowell, said to be connected
with the Eureka Briquette company
at Belfeld. He took photographs of
the buildings at Medora, and is report
ed to be using these photographs in
his efforts to get subscribers to his
briquette stock. He tells them that
these buildings are the property Of his
company. It Is reported that he took in
some people in Medora with checks
that were protested when they reached
the banks on which they were drawn.
AS the Pioneer said weeks ago, the
Eureka company is fake of the worst
sort. and Crowell is its faker.
The Emmons County Record was
inclined to be indignant because Sec
rotary of State Porter, in answer to, a
letter about a cemetery charter, wrote
that 20 years was the limit. As the
Linton people claimed the right to
remain dead for more than 20 years,
the Record thought this was unjust.
1t developed afterward that the secre-
tary had mistaken the word "ceme-
terry for Creamery hence the rul-
ing. Now the Linton people have a
permanent cemetery charter and may
stay dead as long as they please.

! Mandan Pioneer: We need not be-
lieye it., but one man Is found claiming
that the scab is good thing for the
cattle owner, inasmuch as the coyote
takes the disease from the dead cat

coyote dies. This would be good il
true.
