STATE GRAB BAG

Senator Tillman is to lecture at
Dickinson.
The wife of an engineer at Minot
received $4,000 from a rich uncle
who had recently died in Connecticut.
A MinOt woman has been adjudged
by the county commissioners fit SUBJ
ject for treatment in Kelley insti-
tute.
A Kenmare couple who had been
divorced once, concluded to begin a
second matrimonial battle and were
remarked.
w. r. Vosburg has resigned his po-
sition as secretary of the Minot Com
mercial club and o. M. Pierce has
been selected in his stead
1t is claimed that a number of ar
tesian wells will be sunk at Bis
marck at an early day. Mandan also
desires to let some contracts on the
same subject.
Mike De la Bere had a tough time
last week. His foreman was sick, his
assistant postmistress was tusseling
with the measles, there was a rush
of job work and Mike was needed at
home.
A Leonard correspondent of the
Sheldon Progress says a guest arriv-
ed at one of the hotels of that city
under the direction of the stork, and
that he was being served with only
one kind of diet which was provided
by the landlady.
1t would be decidedly appropriate
for those temperance people who a
few months ago were lauding Packard
to the skies to hold special prayer
service for him, now that his doc
trines have given the state chance
to get resubmission.
The Wilton News says that two
farmers who disputed over the
strength of their horses agreed to tie
the horses tails together and then
lash them until one or the other was
thrown off its balance. Both horses
died as result of injuries received.
Henry Prince, Flaxton young man
who worked in an elevator, forged
checks to the amount of $4S1 and for
a time lived like a Prince indeed. 1t
was not long before the forgeries were
noted, and Prince arrested. He was
taken to Minot where he made ar
rangements to raise the amount of
money he succeeded in getting
through forgery and will be let off
on the charge of forgery in the fourth
degree.
Jerry Donahue. who is employed as
engineer at the Great Northern pump
ing station at Granville. was quite
badly injured. While working about
the gasoline engine he slipped on the
floor and his arm caught in the belt
] ing. He was whirled around and it
was some time before he recovered
consciousness. There being no one
about the pumping station he was
compelled to walk to the depot to
summon medical aid.
When Senator Kelly of Towner
county returned home from Bismarck,
his friends put up job on the genial
democrat. A large number met him
at the train and when he alighted not
one Of them would speak to him nor
pretend that they had ever known
him. Kelly was completely dazed I'M
til some one-probably Dave Mccain
ma, got too full of fun to retain SOL
emnity any longer and had there been
a Bismarck condition at Bisbee it is
thought Kelly would have bought the
place dry.
Little Amanda Wenzel, only eight
years old travelled all the way from
Russia to Minot, arriving Tuesday
night after trip lasting five weeks.
She can speak only the Russian lam
guage, but made the trip without any
trouble for she was properly tagged,
showing the place from whence she
came and the destination she was en-
deavoring to reach. The little girl is
now in the city in charge of Mrs.
Weigand of Minot, but will be sent
to Upham where relatives live. The
little girl is very bright pretty child
and will soon become accustomed to
American ways.
DR.. j. D. Windell Of Minot tells OF

doctor was on his way in a sleigh
to Glenburn to attend the wife of a
Glenburn physician. when some young
fellow with crowd of girls in a
sleigh refused to allow him to pass.
