Ramstad Branded his Chickens.

The Independent man wandered
into one of the local meat mar
kets SATURDAY. evening in quest
Of a nice tender spring chicken,
for his mouth had been watering
all week for just such a Sunday
dinner, as that chicken would
make. There were only two or
three chickens left and their feet
had been left on, to show that
they had not been frozen to
death. (ThegGwas nothing to
prove that the yhad not died from
old age.) One big fellow, aroos.
ter, the great grand father OF all
Minot fowls, was selected, taken
home and dressed. Early Sun
day morning, between four and
five o'clock, a roaring fire was
made in the cook stove, for the
bird looked a little suspicious to
the cook. At eleven O'Clock the
meat was tested. The fork re-
fused to enter the carcass, and
bounded back as tho the rooster
was made of gutta percha. At
noon the flesh began to crack,
the broth grew thick and shining
the air OF the kitchen became
dense. At precisely at 2:3O the
kettle was taken off the fire and
the remains of the veteran cock
OF the walk were tenderly laid
on the platter. In attempting
to devour ore OF the legs OF His
Most Gracious Majesty, the
brand "E. R. SO" were noticed
on the hide. Inqueries were
made the next day about the
city and it was ascertained that
in the early days OF Minot, wher
Erick Ramstad first settled here
he branded his chickeno and this
was one of them. Nineteen wears
had elapsed since this wonderful
bird had made it's appearance.

A Fierce Storm Ragged MONDAY and Tues

Minot was in the throes Of the
fiercest storm Of the season Ethis
week agenuine "northeasterner"

All day Monday the storm ragged

Tuesday night the wind had
reached a terrific velocity and
nearly two feet of snow had fall.
en-. The storm came on SO
gradually that everyone was
given ample warning, so there
has been little or no suffering on
the part of the people or the
stock. While business in Minot
was not entirely cut off, it was
hampered greatly by the storm.
The businessmen tcoS their first
opportunity OF catching up with
their correspondence and orders.
The dray business was practically
at a stand still. The coal men
were out a part of the time try
ing to waller thru the drifts to
some unfortunate home, there to
deposit small jags OF coal to last
till sunshiny wea ther came again.
The grocers managed to get
out with their delivery wagons,
but the drifts in some places
were 50 deep that they were un-
able to make the deliveries.

the morning with team for the

. Owing to the big snow storm,
which blockaded all of the roads,
. there were but a few votes cast
in the Independents piano-dia-
mond ring contest which closes
= December 16. This does not
indicate however that little work
is being done. On the contrary
: the candidates are more active
than at any time since the con-
. test started.
! There are just two weeks left
in the contest, but something
will be doing all the time until
the end.
The Independent is making big
. preparations for the close OF the
contest, and it is believed
that several hundred interested
par 5icipants from all parts OF
the county will spend that night
in Minot. Remember that votes
will be taken up until midnight:

16, but not one minute longer.
/ Three competent and fair judges,

The candidates should not lose
any valuable time for the next
two weeks. Remember that often
