8cial Twin Buttes. the present name
of the county seat Of Bowman county,
celebrated the Fourth Of July in
manner that made the parties of ex-
cursionists who came into the county
ito see how things are done In the
wild west sit up and take notice.
They found over 1000 people gath
cred and as long a program Of
speeches and sports as was given in
any small town in the United States.
The program was carried out and
the usual walt between events was
conspicuous by it's absence, giving
great credit to the committee having
it in charge.
States Attorney Totten was orator
Of the day and his speech was one Of
the important events He was at his
best and the hearty applause was
evidence of his happy thoughts. It
is safe to say that Attorney Totten
will soon be one Of the leading law
yers of the northwest. III i8
The ball game between the Still
water Giants and the Twin Butte
Stars was watched with interest, and
would have been very close had it
not been for an error in the sixth
inning which let in four runs. The
score was to IL In favor. Of the

| At Saltwater, 16 miles from Twin

pie who were well entertained during
the day with games and sports among
which the broncho busting by Nels

of what Bowman county used to be
and the new corners wonder how it

Ifairly outdid themselves in making it
pleasant for their guests and every
one departed thanking them for the

4 Notes on the Fourth.
/ When celebrations were being made
i for the celebrations in Bowman coun-
i ty Sheriff Paige made it known that
no sale or use of Intoxicating liquors
4 would be tolerated, and he was so
earnest in his instructions that mis-
orders were strictly obeyed.
A year ago Bowman had less than
/ 500 people. This year there gathered
together within her borders more
than 1000 people to celebrate the
4 Fourth at Twin Buttes, Saltwater,
Haley and the H. I. logging camp.
n. Shift came out from st. Paul 10
spend the Fourth at Saltwater. He
! had his usual luck by being mixed up
with young lady in a runaway. For
/ tunately no one was hurt.
DR.. Baker OF StSillwater was very
busy man. However, II was his So
cial and not his professional services
that were required. The doctor mod.
Il estly insists that It Is his title and not
y his own personally which attracts the
4 numerous young ladies.
We understand that Hon. VIM. Low.
. den has refused the appointment Of
justice Of the peace for Bowman coun
ty, as he has something better #
