The Valley City Times-Record has it
from Judge Burke that the story that
he would send the sheriff of Barnes
county after Editor Spears of the
Mandan Pioneer and Editor Streeter
of Linton, is a pipe dream. The real
facts of the case: are, according to the
t. R., that Judge Burke called; the
wicked editors up on the phone and
told them that they had @Verstepped
the bounds Of judicial criticism and
.thats,if they persisted 4ins4 the affenss'
he would be compelled ito send the
sheriff after, them. TheS Judge sup
posed he was having d little private
and friendly talk, and behold, s8the
thing leaked out and we presume
Editor Spear put in some uncomfort-
able hours awaiting the arrival of the
Barnes county sheriff with his mace
and other emb1ems Of authority. Now
that nothing of the kind is intended
the Slope editorial brethren will
breathe more. freely and We feel sure
that the relief will extend way down
into the Emmons county Businesses
where Editor Streeter breathes fire
and writes news and editorials.

Continuation of Rivalry

/" Washington D. G., Dec. 19:---The
spirit of rivalry that for five years
has alternately smoldered and blazed
between John Sharpe Williams of
Mississippi, leader Of the minority,
and David A. Dearmond of Missouri,
leader Of the minority opposition,
eliminated in a fist fight today on
the floor of the house of representa-
tives. Blows of Representative Dear
mond caused blood to flow down the
face of, Representative Williams and
only the forcible Intervention OF
friends cut the combat short. Mr.
Dearmond bore away scuffed nose.
The immediate cause of the fight was
the passing Of a lie by Mr.. Dearmond
to Mr.. Williams resultant of COM
plant by the former minority leader
of broken faith in .sburying" RepreE
sentative Booher of Missouri, by
recommending his assignment aby
Speaker Cannon, to the committee on
coinage, weights and measures. Ac-
cording to statements of the princi=
pals, Mr.. Williams defended his &C
ton by declaring he had been told
| by Mr.. Booher's colleague, Represen-
tative Lloyd of Missouri, that that
committee assignment would be sat
Eisfactory to Mr.. Booher. Mr.. Dear
mond questioned the truth of the
statement, and after failure on his
part to transfer the scene of the con
troversy, Mr.. williams struck MI.

Mr.. Dearmond, wedged between two

Use For a Dog

American women are divided into
two classes-those who go in for out
door sports and the others who find Il
difficult or distasteful to get out of the
house oftener than once or twice a
week. The American woman does not
go to market. as a rule, and does not
always do her own shopping. AS foi
recreation she takes scarcely more that
is thrown in her way. rarely taking the
trouble to find II IL it means extra work
Of preparation.
A musician whose work was unusu-
ally conhnlng said that he kept a dog
almost wholly for the purpose OF ever
else. and he invariably selected dog
that needed long, hard runs. BY this
method he obtained all the exercise
he needed and more than he would ever
take alone. We are all more or less
like that-we need an incentive to take
US out into the blessed air and sun.
shine, even those who have sunny
verandas seemingly care nothing for
the advantages offered. No day is too
cold to use one Of the Sc splendid aids
to health. Warm wraps are all one
needs. and in a sheltered. sunny corner
it is possible to sit for an hour or more
with absolute comfort.
But walking is. after all, the best
means OF getting enough Of outdoors,
and it is worth while to follow the
musicians practice and keep a dog that
needs exercise if for no other purpos,
than to get out ones self.
