Sentiment 4 Changing - Driscoll
News: The conviction of the blind
pigger, stoddard, in district court at
the recent term marks a; distinct era
in court matters of this kind. Per-
haps one hundred cases have come
before the courts of this county in
times gone, and nary conviction has
resulted, and the boast has been open:
ly made that no booze vender could
be convicted in the states Capital
City. But a change seems Imminent,
and rumors are adoat that the in
coming administration may take a
hand in the game, and there is some
uneasiness thereat. In the mean
time county sentiment has changed
thus far, and no one need feel sur
prised if the change widens.
Mandan Wants One-Pioneer: The
Bismarck Commercial club has taken
the initial step towards organizing a
building and loan association. The
Tribune remarking on the adventure
says cit is expected the, new associa-
ton will at once become an important
factor in the building world of the
city. BY its assistance great many
homes can be secured for the city, as
it will enable many to build who
otherwise could not afford to. 1t is a
splendid thing, and with such men as
those named at the associations af-
fairs it is bound to be a success" We
have argued the same move for Man
ran, and again reiterate that such an
association IN many towns has proven
a great help to men of limited means
wishing to secure homes for them
selves.
Connors Confessed Con
nors, the man found guilty last week
in the district court at Valley City, OF
having committed highway robbery
twice on the night of August 81 last
at Sanborn, will be sentenced, to
gether with Dan Burd at 80 O'Clock
on Thursday, December 9th. Since
the jury found him guilty and he
faced the grim reality of a long tern
of Imprisonment, Connors lost the
nerve which has marked his demean
or since arrested and confessed to The

the county authorities and Judg

Have They Asked "king'' John?-
Some of the residents of the western
counties are interesting themselves il
a proposal to divide Bottineau, Ware
and Mclean counties in such a way
as to create two new counties The
division is to be made by drawing {
line, beginning on the international
boundary line and following range 81
to its intersection with the twelfth
standard parallel, thence west with
said parallel to range "a, thence south
! with it to the river. Then from the
international boundary line draw {
line running south with range 81, I'm
til you intersect the thirteenth
parallel, then trace a line on the
thirteenth standard parallel across
Ward county. And then trace a line
from east to west across Ward coun
ty, on town line north of township
152 and your division lines are com
plete and a division of Ward county
that is practical and pleasing to the
eye, so far as the map is concerned.
