w. H. Brown, 434 Ross ave., Winni-
peg, Man., seeks information regarding
his brother John, who was working near
Neche, this county, last July, and de-
scribes him as follows: 36 years of age,
weight los pounds, 5 feet and 91z inches
high, dark hair, heavy reddish moustache,
and very stoop shouldered. He worked
as rough carpenter, at times.
The Pembina Boys Band have been
engaged to play at Brunson, new town
on the 500, in Minnesota, on the Fourth,
and it is likely that they will be accom-
panied by number of the patriots from
here that day. Brunson is about fifteen
miles east Of Halock and to get there
by train you will have to go to Emerson
and take the 6:1O o'clock in the evening,
and return at six in the morning.
Mrs. A. L. Jameson died at her home
east OF Emerson on Sunday last. De-
ceased and her husband were for MANY
years residents of Tyner in this county.
A statement in the Pink Paper that the
deceased was sister Of Mrs.. K. Swift
yer of this city and of Mrs. Jas. Bennett
Of Neche is an error. The remains were
taken to Tyner for burial. Many old
friends will deeply sympathize with the
bereaved relatives.
Emmett Horr has some bees. Emmett
also had the numps. Emmett's bees
swarmed and he got stung on the neck.
1t took OILY half an hour for the mumps
to disappear. The bee sting absorbed
the whole situation and crowded them
out. Emmett left for LaSalle, Man. on
Wednesday where he will remain for
some time working on farm--after the
swelling subsidies.
There will be III game worth see
ing on Wednesday, at the Pembina Ball
Park. 1t will be contest between the
young ladies and the young gentlemen.
The latter in order to make things on
even terms are to play left-handed.
There will be dead loads of fun and the
proceeds will go to the Queen Esther
circle. Admission % cents, at o'clock
p. m.

Cards have been received by Pembina

The Drayton and Pembina teams play
ed hard fought game on Tuesday eve
ming here, resulting in score five to two
in favor of Pembina. The game was
witnessed by large crowd ofspectators.
Bond and Nut were the Drayton battery
and Mcclellan and Crimson for the home
nine. We understand that game will
be arranged between the two teams at
Drayton soon. This, it is said.
is Drayton's first defeat of the season.
Bond is said to have been suffering from
a sprained thumb. The pitching record
was Bone and Mcclellan 10 strikes out.
Errors, Pembina l and Drayton 8. The
latter tells the story.
The condition of the highways leading
into the city from out of town is very
bad indeed. The four miles to the Ice
land coulie is about as bad as it can be
and the road west through the Geroux
slough is worse than that while some of
the grade on the way to Emerson is none
too good. This is matter that finan-
cially concerns the city and we should
see what can be done to remedy the de.
fects. The highways are of conrse under
the care and supervision of the township
supervisors, but they do not have the
direct interest in the matter that the CITY
has or should have. In justice to the
township authorities. while we are not
fully informed as to details, we are Ger.
tain that they had planned to make ex-
tensive repairs to all these roads this
