Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1906-10-17
may be scrappy and windy, but not

dangerous. ~ ss ~
Mr.. Tom Higgins returned from
South Dakota last week. where he
has been working for some time.
Phoenix's news vender must be
rambling in somebody's graveyard.
Some time ago he had Arena mixed
up in Sampson, Philistines and some
body's horse bones. Now he has got
Cromwell in the worst bone pile he
has seen for years. There must be
plenty of ghosts up in those "bone
piles
| The Bryanites used to believe in
free silver and so Phoenix must only
think that everybody's potato
Patch" ought to be free to their
pigs" and so Phoenix seems to
think it would be lots of fun to see
their pigs" root and eat the Crom-
we'll "Taters and cucumbers.'' But
we don't know which would be the
most fun if the Cromwell "poet"
turned loose his DUCKS to see Phoe-
nix crawl back over the fence-as
the bucks generally seem to know.
the best place to assist Teller when
he is crawling over the fence-and
while Phoenix is crawling over the
fence we would have our scouts"
drive the pigs to market and so we
would get even with Phoenix some
way. If we only knew that the
Tribune man behind the type wasn't
looking around for the waste basket,
for the man behind the type is the
man behind the gun.
Mr.. Riley and W. c. Peterson have
been assisting Mr.. F. Schroeder in
threshing, Mr.. c. O. Engdahl doing
the threshing with his new rig.
1t is reported that Mr.. P. A. Swan
sons fax went 16 bushels to the
acre. Not so bad.
! Using the old saying, "Where there
is smoke there is fire, and where
there is fire there is a hot place."
Judging from the smoke there must
have occurred all three in Sibley one
day last week which looked rather
| threatening for while.
We notice in the Menoken column
of some party Eve don't know who)
that had forgotten to report after
taking his. ''lady home.' We think
it is pretty tough when Teller can't
take his girl out for ride or to take
her home without being called upon
to report. .->-,
We don't think it would be very
profitable business to start 'ematri-
monial club in Cromwell, as there
are only % bachelors, including two
young ladies, trying to hold down a
homestead single-handed. Only one
has been killed off as bachelor by
getting married since Jan. 1 last.
At that rate it would take twenty
three years more before they all got
married off. Pretty near as bad as
Is to !.
The Trygg boys intend to thresh
this week.
Mr. William Moore finished thresh-
ing last Saturday afternoon.
| Mr.. G. o. EngdahIs machine was
threshing for Joe Marley first of the
week.
| Mr.. Tom Higgins, with that pleas
ant smile of his, in company with
Mr.. Smith, is stacking their fax and
! getting ready for the threshers, and
they are going some.
The prosperity of the country can
be seen by the way the settlers are
hauling out lumber.
Mr.. A. Trygg intends to build a
new barn this fall.
The Cromwell INTERPRETER" or
news vender, intends to thresh his
! grain this week. Wish we had those
jolly fellers of Phoenix and Arena to
superintend the job.
L. Olson C Co. threshed for Mr..
Chas. johnson last week.
Mr.. G. F. Anderson is finishing up
the inside carpenter work of Mr..
Andrew Trygg's house this week. S
We predict bad winter, plenty of
snow and plenty of snowstorms. Be
on the lookout for changing tenn
perature, winter beginning rather
early. /
Mr.. Peterson was up from Baldwin
last Sunday looking after the pro-
gress of his house on his claim.
