A meeting of the Red River Valley
Editorial association has been called
for this evening to be held at the
Hotel Crookston. The meeting was

Had n Trssel.

Sheriff Turner returned last even
ing from McCumber where he went to
arrest a blind pigger, one Ryan, but
through a case of mistaken identity,
Mr.. Turner got hold of one Pat Riley
and there was trouble. Accompanied
by a deputy sheriff Mr.. Turner at
tempted the arrest. Riley fought and
while he was easily handled by the
brawney sheriff, he got hold of
billiard cue, and did some effective
work, but was overpowered and ar
rested. Sheriff Turner does not show
the marks of any terrible combat
and it is safe to say that the other
fellow by all odds got the worst of
the bargain. After the melee, the
prisoner convinced the officers that he
had the wrong man and was released.

Courteous Officials.

The courteous treatment accorded
the public by the officials of the Great
Northern railroad in this city is mat
ter of much comment by the travelling
and business public.
The crustiness of railroad officials
has been as much the subject of jest
as the gullibility of the farmer when
he visits the city. The reason for the
former never existed and the latter is
being rapidly dispelled by the actions
of men like those in charge of the rail-
road departments in this city. Cour-
teous, obliging and affable they make
those who come in contact with them
feel that they have met a personal
friend
