The Masquerade.

The masquerade given at the
Opera House Monday evening was
a decided success both financially
and socially. In the grand march
we counted 48 couples and there
we're about twenty masked who
did not participate. Prizes were
awarded Messrs Jones and Iverson
and the Misses Daub and Lukins
who were masked as Indians and
carried out their part excellently
Honorable mention must be made
of the two Farmers Mrs. Kjert.

the unmasking, had disappeared.
Many were the conjectures as to
the identity Of this .masque, when
the sudden appeara ce of Jimmie
Davies, who had been strangely
absent all evening, put an end to
all wonderings. The fair damsel
was none other than Jimmie.
There was present the clowns
from Sells circus, the dude from
Kalamazoo, the Chinaman and
Japanese, the Irishman and the
Dutchman, the Jew and last but
not least, the coon. We would
like to mention them all but the

so with our limited space.
The music was more than usual

Supper was served at Merry's
restaurant and dancing kept up
till $50 a. m., when a tired but
happy crowd departed, having en-
joyed this dance as they had none
other this year. A large number
we're present from Oliver county
and Underwood whose names we
were unable to obtain.

conference with President Roose-
velt this morning regarding the

ment and the president was con-
vinced that the order was too harsh
He has agreed to modify the order
so as to exempt entries on agri-
cultural lands.
The above telegram was received
by the Tribune last evening. This
will be welcome news for hundreds
YES thousands of North Dakota
settlers.
The recent order of the president
referred to is as follows:
The Secretary of the Interior
Sir: To prevent the fraud now

United States I have to direct that
hereafter no final certificate, patent
or other evidence of title shall is
sue under the public land laws un-
til an actual examination has been
made on the ground by an author
lied officer Of the government, but
the following shall be excepted
from the force Of this order:
~ All claims which have here
tofore been examined on the
ground by an authorized officer OF
the government whose report is
found satisfactory.
2. All claims where heretofore
an officer of the government other
than officer authorized to take final
proof shall have been present at

sance in the town of Underwood.

Rev. George.


Rev. George.
The following we take from The
Steele Ozone regarding the acci-
dent:
Saturday evening, just after it
had grown dark, that summons
came, like a.thief at night, to the
Rev. Zenas George, pastor of the
Dawson M. E. church, who was on
his way to Steele, driving a single
horse and sleigh. How the rig
came to be on the track near where
the accident occurred will never be
known. The dead horse lay on
the north side of the main track a
few yards west of the stock yards
crossing, and part of the cutter
near, little further west. But it
is almost certain that Mr.. George
had attempted to cross the track at
the crossing opposite the j. r.
Robinson residence, which is near
ly forty rods east Of the stock yard
crossing. Whether the horse be-
came frightened at the approach
ing snow plow as the crossing was
made and bolted west along the
rails or if Mr.. George had, in error
as 10 distance, turned the horse to-
ward the track before reaching the
crossing, and SO had gotten upon
the tracks, and was unable to get
clear before the snow plow came
along, are matters of speculation:
Tracks of the rig in the snow on
the north side track, or crossing
the rails and back to the main
track twice before the rig was
struck just east Of the stock yards
crossing, show that one of the two
explanations referred 10 must be
the correct one. No rig struck at
the crossing by an engine or plow
could be carried so far as was this
from the lower crossing without
dropping some part of it farther
east.
The fatality was discovered
about s o'clock in the evening by
the editor of the Ozone while walk
ing along the track to the Carroll
farm, as has bean his custom. since
the snow became deep. He no.
tice that, at a casual glance, he
took in the darkness for pile of
cinders by the south rail, but after
taking eight or ten steps he re-
called mechanically, that cinders
would not be outside the rail, and
went back to investigate, when, on
putting one foot outside the rail,
and trying to poke what seemed to
be a robe or coat, it was found to
be something more solid. Stoop-
ing the body Of a man was dis
cerned lying with his head to the
west, and not over two feet from
the south rail,
The injuries were found to con-
sist Of q fracture Of the skull on
the right side Of the head at the
temple, q conclusion under the right
ear,..the right elbow cut or broke
off, the right leg broken in two
places, and left leg crushed below
the knee. There were injuries to
one foot. One shoe had been torn
off. No bones in the body could
be found broken, and there
was no serious injuries or bruises
to the trunk. Altho the injured
man groaned and used his arms to
pass his hands over and around
his head, and even eat up on the
storm shutter on which he was be-
ing borne to the depot, he was.
never conscious enough to speak
or to indicate that he realized his
situation. Death ensued at 3;4O
Sunday morning. Dr. Gordon had.
amputated the left leg below the
knee and dressed the other wounds.

EXCELLENT WORK IN
GATHERING OF SPAWN

Superintendent Owen Downey, whc
has charge of the Saratoga fish hatch
cry, reports excellent progress in the
work OF gathering trout spawn, says
the Saratoga Sun. He is being assist,
ed by D. s. Crawford, and he says they
have been as successful as he antici-
pated. They have been gathering the
eggs Of the brook trout this fall. Rain
bow eggs are taken in the spring of the
year, and those Of the brook trout In
the fall. So far they have now 200, 900
eggs on the trays, and enough trout
in the pools to furnish 100, 900 more,
The season will end shortly, as the
weather grows too cold for the men tn
go into the water with seins for the
fish. Mr.. Downey is very well satisfied
with the work accomplished, as he will
have about all the eggs the hatchery
will accommodate for the winter.
