mrer of General Williams of Bis

the proposed new county. What ac-
tion will be taken in the matter is not
known. Ward county is the largest

the county seat. The north line of the
proposed county OF Montrail is the

of Lake, which the residents of the
north end of the county have already
petitioned for. The county commits
lsionerS will be asked to act upon the
petition at the next meeting. which
will b held in September.
