after being put under injunction for pig
ging, afterwards came back to Grafton
and was rearrested and last week Judge

{ Fred Ganssle of st. Thomas bought
section of land near there for S2l, 900. In
reference to this purchase the Times re-
marks that Mr.. c. came to this county
with, a thousand dollars that he now owns
twenty-five quarter sections valued at
$S5, 600 without the improvements. Mr..
G. has followed farming and made all
his money in that way. He came to the
county in 1881.
The St. Thomas council by ordinance
only permits cement sidewalks in the
business portion of the city. The Times
remarks however that much of the ce-
ment sidewalk already laid there is rath-
er bum and not lasting we'll. 1t looks
like simple piece OF work to mix up
some cement and sand with water and
make concrete bnt lots of amatuers make
failures oftener than good solid concrete.
St. Thomas had field day last week.
Bowesmont beat Drayton at base ball =
to 3; Cavalier beat Crystal Is to IA, and
Bowesmont beat Cavalier 10 to 4. They
do say that Bowesmont has little the
best battery of anybody in the region and
that they have some others that play
very good game of ball. How would it
do for the Bosemont players to comb the
hair of those Milton fellows that are so
anxious to beat something in this county.

ion. The committee recommend the
holding of caucuses on Wednesday Aug.
10th. AT the Grafton convention Penn
bina ounty has "a delegates, Cavalier

Hamilton Fair had good weather and
attendance. The exhibits were very ex-
cellent IN some classes while other clas-
ses were rather meager. Holding the
fair SO early in the season practically
rules out most field and garden exhibits
except of the early or immature. The
sports were good aud perfect order was
maintained. No gambling or other OBJ
jectionable features were allowed. The
Independent thinks the fair should be
run four days next year.
A German boy, fourteen years of age
by the name of Hiebert, whose parents
reside near Gretna, was drowned i'll the
Pembina River just west of the railroad
bridge last Sunday afternoon. In COM
pany with another lad he went in ba thing
and, being unable to swim, got beyond
his depth. A search for the body con-
'tinued until Tuesday forenoon. when 1t
was recovered several hundred feet be-
low the scene of the. accident. Chrome

# We notice a school treasurer's report
in the Pink Paper thatis a dandy. The
Treasurer should be reelected for life.
Few officials are able to mike so good a

hand for the year were about $185. Ar

SIS amounting to over $42O he had S231
