doubtful whether General Linevitch will make q

line of the river the Russian position will be so
weak strategically that he may be compelled to

Quietly Married.

The marriage Of Mrs. Anna Covert
and Mr.. James w. Filshie occurred
yesterday afternoon at two o'clock at
the home of the bride. Rev. E. p.
Lawrence of the Presbyterian church
performed the ceremony, only members
of the family being present. The coup
lie took the afternoon train for Detroit,
Minn., to spend their honeymoon, after
which they will return to Oakes to
make their home.
The elimination of this event came
as big surprise to their many friends
in Oakes. Mrs. Covert, the bride, is
we'll known here and at Ludden, where
she has long been a resident. The
groom is travelling representative Of
the big wholesale hardware firm OF
Farwell, Ozmun Kirk & Co. of St. Paul,
and is said to be one of their most sue
cessful knights of the grip.
The Republican extends congratula.

The Whltestone Battlefield.

A correspondent writing the Minnea-
polls Journal from Kindred, N. D., un-
der date of July q, attempts to dis
credit the location of Whitestone Hills
battlefield in Dickey county, North
Dakota, and claims the engagement
occurred in Sargent county. J. C. Luce
of Groton, who was in that engagement
as member of the Sixth Iowa cavalry,
identified the grounds of the battlefield
in 1884, in company with Lieutenant
Ritzius, then quartermaster at Fort
Sisseton. The data are on file in the
war department at Washington. The
question of the location of the battle
field has been fully established. There
is no question but what the engagement
occurred west of the James river.
Headstones have been ordered for the
soldiers who fell, and the motive of
those who, at this late day, are trying
to discredit the facts is beyond compre-
hension. Reeves.

Winged His Man.

Ed. Towne, a prominent farmer of
Spring Valley, shot his hired man in
the leg in defense of his own life.
The trouble took place while stacking
hay near the house. The hired man,
who was known as John Pallom and who
was from. i, the state of Michigan, at
tackled his employer and got the worst
of it. Pallom then attacked Towne with
a pitch fork when the latter ran to the
house and got his shotgun. Pallom in
sisted in the attack and Towne let him
have the contents of the gun. The
man was taken to Glendale and
afterwards to Aberdeen, where his leg
was amputated this week Sunday at
St. Luke's hospital. Signs of gangrene
had begun to set in. The man has
given several names since he became
hurt. At first he went by the name OF
John Pallom. Since then he has given
the names of John Fusan and Amos
Tuscony.

The State Fair.

The North Dakota State Fair will oc-
cur at Grand Forks from August 10Th
to September End. The management
is doing good work in advertising the
fair and is getting people in all parts of
the state interested. The Association
is very anxious to interest the farmers
in the southern part of the state in
making an agricultural display, es-
pecially of corn, as it feels this section
of the state is best adapted to the
raising of corn. This is good year
for all kinds of cereals and it would be
to our benefit to advertise our products
at Grand Forks. Send to D. v. Moore,
Secretary, for catalogue and informa-
ton.

represented a Norwegian bride in the

Misses Mabel Bateman and Pearl Tyrrell

Gretchen, otherwise Mrs. Stanton and
Henry Lentz, were the notable figures

Myrtle Mckay, the Goddess of Liberty,

Bush made first class Uncle Sam at

assisted under the Stars and Stripes by
Mrs. H. C. Mccartney and Miss Maud
Tyrrell. Peter Bong made the final
collection of tickets there.
Itwas well along after midnight before
the final trip was made. Many inter-
esting incidents might be mentioned,
such as would happen with the streets
badly torn up and five automobiles
whizzing around during the night. But
it was successful and pleasureable
affair all through and the ladies of the
church have the neat sum of $66 to
show for it. They are pleased with the
results and thankful for the kind assist
ance rendered them.

Glorious Future for Sargent.

Forman News: Sargent county has
today more cattle and stock in proper
tion to its population than any other
county in the state; it also has more
creameries and more artesian wells; it is
raising more garden stuff every year,
and more small fruits. There are a
number of choice apple groves, and
tree culture has been rendered highly
successful. Cyclones have never
visited this section of the Northwest,
hence all may rest comfortably at night.
We may also rest in the belief that
Sargent county will have q glorious
future.

chest which contains more than $780,
900 in English, German and American

the wine cellar and came upon a little
den about Sx10. In a cobwebby, pitch

especially for it, the chest was found.
Meehan got mechanic to pry open
the lock, and within was found the
