BISMARCK DAILY tribune,

crowd since the Fourth was out and
another confetti battle took place
While the kangaroo court did not
flourish with all the vigor such courts.
have been known to enjoy elsewhere.
the maskers made merry and the fun
was fast and furious. Some of the.
make-ups were very ridiculous. Even
staid business men and their wives
donned false nustasches aud masks,
and had plenty of fun. ..5 Fss 5
a Great Favorite---Little Coretta,
known in private life as Ruby Belle
tRickoff, has been the center Of at
traction during the carnival. Not
only once but many times have the
people gone to pay her a visit during
the exhibition and her winning ways
have endeared her to all. The little
tot is a trife over nine years old,
weighs 1e pounds and is but .26 inches
high. She reads, writes. and talks
well and will sing like fairy when
a, ked to. She has gone to school and
is learned and bright far beyond her
years. Her friends in her eastern
home gave her nice party on
her last birthday and the occasion
was made notable by a letter from
President Roosevelt, who sent greet
ings and well wishes to the little miss
whom he had seen a. year before.
Coretta has been the guest of num-
Der of little city girls during the morn
ing hours when not at work" and
will be kindly remembered by all.
q Bitten Twice and Twice Lucky
Mention was made yesterday of a
man. from Sims having been buncoed
out of $40 by a hanger on during
carnival week. This man came down
to make homestead entry, but the
attractions offered to make easy
money were: too much for him
Ordinarily when fellow is bitten
once he becomes shy of the bitter, hui;
not so in this case. Last night he
went up against the game of another
sharp, and to make sure this time OF
the big cash prize the fat bet his
money on the whole layout of mum
lbers, investing therein $3.50, but
when the cards were turned over. they
were all blanks and he was given the
haha. His eye-teeth having beer
again cut he made complaint tt
States Attorney Patterson and Sheriff
Welch, who, after some difficulty made
an accomplish Of the sharper disgorge
and the sucker was induced to SCI
taside the money for his filing paper:
before he blew it in again.: It is ,bu
fair to the carnival people to say thai
the sharper was not one of their men
There Will Be Fun Tonight--Owins
to-. some misunderstanding and tht
failure of some of the court officials. tx
materialize last night the kangaroo
court was not held. Arrangements
have been made today, however, for {
session of the court this evening ant
justice will be dished out to offender!
in due and ancient form with modern
| frills. The court has ordered that al
fines be turned over to the Com
Imercial Club band, which has done 81
much during the carnival to liven tn,
proceedings. This afternoon =, the
judge is organizing his court and thu
session will be called in front o
Lucas store about 9 o'clock. While thu
officials do not want OF known, it is re
ported that positively all who arr
caught in citizens clothes will be sub
ject to arrest and Incarceration in thu
coop. In order that the arrests may
be more effectually made and re
sistance reduced to the minimum, {
number of ladies will act as police
men and all are warned TO look ou
for those strong armed minions Of the
court. The leading business men o.
the city will see that the mandates O.
the court are faithfully carried out ane
they are actively allotted by thei1
wives, SO there will be little sympathy
for all who are caught In the drag net
Everybody turn out In force and SEE
| the fun. They don't want you--it's
the other fellow they are after.
