Casselton Reporter: A young man
who has worked here and who had
been too intimate with young woman
in this locality was brought back from
near Valley City early this week on a
serious charge. At the hearing before
Justice Walker, Wednesday, a settle

$3.50 into court. 1t seems that the
woman thinks she should have this

mother bye and bye and we certainly
can spare them. 8

find out where the fire was Central

had not learned where the fire was
The fire ladies had good run and
we will venture to say, slept better
in Observation-Disclosures Times.
The Glenullin firemen have pur-
chased rubber coats and helmets for
use in fighting fre-the rubber coats
will probably come in very handy
and prove serviceable in other emery
encies.

proaches. The council has turned
down the proposition on the ground
that there is no money available for
