AMTLER

John Herbentson has pur-
chased the furniture store,
stock and building of J. H.
Holbrook, and took charge OF
same last Thursday morning.
a petition was circulated the
first of the week asking the
district school board to call an
election and allow the voters to
vote on the proposition of issu-
ing bonds to build and furnish
a school building in Antler
A sufficient number of names
being secured the board called
the election for January IL, and
it is the duty of every resident
of Antler to vote and see that
your neighbor votes, to make
sure the proposition does not
fail. The amount asked for in
the petition is $1,000.

Harry Reynolds left Monday
morning for points in the east
and will spend the winter.
The first freight for week
came in Tuesday and brought
a couple cars of coal which was
soon sold around town.
The passenger train struck
a mile east of Landa, Monday
and did not get through till
next morning. It seems the
engine went short of water and
naturally died. The freight
engine was sent for from
Antler but did not get there till
next morning. The passengers
made themselves as comfort
able as possible during the
long night.
E. J. O'Brien, who has been
instructor of the Westhope
band for the past year, left
Tuesday for Omemee where he
will take charge of a pool room.
Mr.. O. Brien is a good instructor
and has brought the band up
a high standard. The band
will endeavor to secure the
services of a new instructor as
soon as possible, and in the
meantime will continue practic-
ing.
B. b. Reed returned from
the hot springs and Chicago
last Saturday night. He says
he enjoys much health now.
Mrs. Reed remained there for a
short visit.
J. F. Simon expects a helper
here next week, a young gentle
man from Shakopee, MINI.
He is a clarionet player and
will be an addition to the band.

BAR MEETING
Lawyers Will Hold Meeting al
Rugby Tomorrow.

There will be a meeting held
in Rugby tomorrow afternoon
at 1: 80 of all the lawyers of
Bottineau, McHenry and Pierce
counties, all members elect o1
the legislature, and Judges
Cowan and Goss.
The meeting is called for the
purpose of taking steps toward
the formation of a new judicial
district from the counties
named. This new district, il
it should be formed, takes
Pierce County from Judge
Cowan's district, the Second,
and Bottineau and McHenry
from Judge Goss' district, the
Eighth. Both these Judges
now have more litigation than
they are able to attend to ow-
ing to the rapid growth of this
part of the state. So far as we
are able to learn there is no
opposition to the movement,
unless possibly, the democratic
governor and the influences
that are supposed to guide his
action, may want to make a
record for economy. But the
people generally, the lawyers
and litigants, seem to be in
favor of making the n w
district. It will not only en-.
able the people of the new
district to get their cases heard
but it will give more time fo1
the judges to attend to the
business in what is left of the
present districts.

surprised to learn that NJ. A.

business in Bottineau to the
Bottineau National Bank, and

immediate present he has nc
plans, except to make a home
and give his children the

Happy
Willow City Happenings
A Newsy Grist of Locals from that Town as
Told by Our Special Correspondent.

Christmas was quitely OBJ
served by our citizens.
Eddie Perrin who is a stud
-ent at the Agricultural College
came home for the holidays.
He looked very fine in the Col
1ege uniform. Mr.. Perrin says
that the College is the proper
place for young man to get a
practical education. And in
this we concur.
On last Friday afternoon a
very nice audience gathered in
the chapel of the Academy of
the Sacred Heart to hear the
reports of the progress the
children are making. A very
nice program, by the children,
C n i n g of vocal and
instrumental music, recitations
and short talks was rendered.
The reports show that the
students are making substan-
tial progress in all their studies
and in attendance and demen or
were very gratifying. There
are now in attendance so board
.ers are something like IL day
attendants. The sisters are
more than pleased at the num-
Der of students that have enter
ed so far.
Miss Eve Watson, who is at
tending the Commercial col
lege at Grand Forks came
home for Christmas, returning
again on New Years day., The
many friends of Miss Watson
will be pleased to know that
she is making splendid pro-
gress with her studies in that
institution. She has an offer
from firm in Minneapolis of a
very nice salary as soon as her
studies are completed. She
has not yet decided whether
she will accept or not. :
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.- Opsahl
were Willow visitors on We'd
nesday. They say they spent
a quiet Christmasat home with
a few intimate friends. Tom
is in his own chore boy this
winter and his visits in town
are necessarily short as he has
a lot of horses and cattle to at
tend to.
Amos Nabseth is visiting
with relatives in Walhalla dur
ing the holiday season. Mr..
Nabseth will also visit Winnie
pig before returning home.
The stork visited the home of
Cashier Mccain last Wednes-
day and left a bouncing boy.
Mack set up a good brand of
cigars to the boys and seems to
think that his cup of happiness
is about full. Mother and son
are doing nicely.
Deputy sheriff Stewart, w.
J. Armstrong n d Frank
Schueb1e were Rugby visitors
last week and report having
had a very pleasant visit with
the fellows of that town.
The various churches in the
city celebrated Christmas sep
.arately this year and all seemed
to have had a good time. The
different trees were well loaded
with presents and very nice
programs were rendered.
Phil Halls went to Barton on
Wednesday to attend to some
business he had in that nice
little town.
Ed Cook was over from Ov-
erly Tuesdsy and Wednesday
visiting friends. Ed is one of
the best fellows on earth and is
having splendid success as
manager of the Bovey-Shute
Lumber yard in his home town.
DR.. and Mrs. Thyng spent
christmas with Mr.. and Mrs.
J.E. Stewart and from reports
Of the several p parties they
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1906-12-28

seem to have had very pleas
ant time as the party did not
break up until some hours after
midnight.
George and William Pepin
accompanied by their sisters,
went to Bottineaa on Monday
nights train and from there
drove to the home of their moth
er, Mrs. Croissetier, where they
all celebrated the holiday sea-
son. @
Our old friend, Emery Ohm
sted, accompanied by his ex-
cellent wife, came in on the
belated train Saturday night
and went to the home of Mrs.
Olmsted's parents east of town
where they spent Christmas.
Mr.. O1msted has severed his
connection with the Uni o n
National Bank of Minot and
will go to sunny California
where he will engage in the
banking business for himself.
During his residence among us
here, as cashier of the First
National, he won many friends
and his record in Minot is as
enviable. His accommodating
ways an d splendid executive
ability commencing him to all
with whom he came in contact.
We wish him and his good wife
health, happiness and success
in their new home.
Professor Smith and wife
went to Churches Ferry on
Monday to spend the holidays
with Mrs. Smith parents re-
tnrning on Monday.
Cashier an d Mrs. Sunberg
had planned to go to Hastings.
MINI. to spend the holidays
with Mrs: Sunberg's mother,
-bat Mrs. Sunberg's illness pre-;
vented the pleasant trip. n =.
We are glad to: report that
Mrs. ]. H. Cook is again. able
to be around her home though
not able to be out. Mrs. Cook
has had a long spell Of sickness
and all her many friends join
with the family in congratula-
,tions that she is now on the
high road to speedy good
health.
A large crowd of, young peo-
pie from this city went to Bar
ton Christmas night to attend
the Ball given there. 1t was
masquerade affair and Miss
Anna Hager of this place won
the prize for the most unique
costume.
We notice by the Overly
Observer that S. b. Mahaney,
Miller and Shannon were in
that town celebrating on Thurs
day and that they seemed to
like the brand. Your cores
pondent does not know the
wise (?) editor of the Observer
nor does he know his politics
or religion but we will renture
the guess that in education he
does not know a. cube from a
parrellogram, in politics he is
any thing to be on the winning
side and in religion a Metho-
dist. Nothing so hurts a town
as the fool who by charity has
obtained a hand press, front
of type and credit at the local
business places, which he never
calculates to meet except by
influence" that will try to
be smart to those who visit
that town from time on legiti-
mate business. We will put it
up to the dirty insinuator of
the Overly Observer this way.
If you know the law is being
violated in your town do your
duty as a citizen and cease to
be that creeping thing, an
insinuator without producing
the evidence.
