"A LITTLE SAWED OFF MAN."

A good one on genial L. S. Marshal
Steve Sharp occurred on Tuesday
when the court was about to adjourn
for dinner AS is the requirement of
court every one in the room is ex-
pected to stand up while the marshal
makes the announcement. Capt.
Sharp is very punctillious about this
matter. He thought he saw one man
who was not obeying the order and
called to him to stand up. A voice
from among the crowd sang out
"this yere feller's a little sawed-off
man. and is already standin' up"
A visible smile went round the court
at the gallant Captains expense.

man with a rock, leaving him on the
side of the road.
When found by some gentlemen the

Well anyway as high as the snow
drifts in North Dakota, and that is say
ing much for the genius and ability
of the stalled passengers. The poetry
consigned to the denizens of the press
room by H. A. Dunlap, is also of a high
standard. One of the masterpieces
will be reproduced in tomorow's issue
of the Evening Times for the special
edification of those who may think the
laureate knows not whereof he speaks.
The advertising features especially
are catchy and undoubtedly those who
parted their coin for an inch or two
arc now revealing in luxury. "All
snow bound stiffs are requested to
visit Ike the Barber" says one glaring
headline and later reports state that
Ike is sojourning midst the poppy
scented parkways of alluring Cali
fornia. Thomas c. Johnson, Profess

to school houses and pailing cows is
another of the brazen disclosures

Bismarck, Feb. 11.-When the house
was called to order after its weeks
recess there were less than half the
members present, most of those who
had gone to their homes to spend the
vacation being unable because of the
blockade to reach the capitol in time
for the opening day. BY parlia-
mentary technicality the house was
saved from recording the fact that a
quorum was not present and proceed
ed to the consideration of some mat
tiers which were entirely routine in
their character The roll call was on
motion dispensed with and the house
proceeded to the introduction of new
bills. These could be read and refer
red to the proper committees and
valuable time could thus be saved.
There was large number of these
new measures, the vacation having
evidently been utilized in the drafting
of new measures. Among those intro
duced were the following:
100 BY Haugen.-Providing that
when any peace officer has cause to
believe that intoxicating liquors are
being shipped into the state to be used
as beverages he shall seize and con-
fiscate the same and the states at
torney shall proceed to cause the ar
rest of the person guilty of the same
and shall cause the liquor to be de-
stroyed. The law is defective in some
points as it does not provide penalty
for the punishment of the person en-
gagged in the work. 1t was referred
to the committee on temperance.
191 By Haugen.-Provides that the
fines arising from the. prosecution
of violations of the liquor laws shall
be paid into the fund for the prosecu-
ton of the violations of the law in
stead of into the school fund as is
now done. This applies when the
fines do not exceed $1,000 and when
they pass that point the excess over
that amount are to be paid into the
school fund. This bill was also re-
ferred to the committee on temper
ance.
1872 By Sorley Grand Forks) Pro
viding that all notes and other evil
dences Of Indebtedness for the sale
of the products Of the Irvine plant at
the state penitentiary as well as money
from the same shall be turned over
at the end of each month to the state
treasurer who shall proceed to COL
lect and account for the same in
stead of the warden of the institution

In the parting shot as a sort of
"fadement in a burt of glory" the

though it verges on the "marrons

1t appears that the traveller a
shoe salesman by the way, at the time
was travelling out of Grand Rapids oc-

although this town was not in his
itinerary.
Not long ago in making out his
weekly expense account for the house
he inserted an item Livery, Green
Bay $780," he having inadvertently
written the wrong name for the town
from which he made the drive.
Upon his return home he was called
into the Office of "the old man" who
said, John, we know you like to get
"a good hotel for Sunday and that you
occasionally burn up little mileage
to do so, we approve of it, Further,
If you wish to take your girl, for a
drive on Sunday, we don't object as
it is none of our business. However,
when it comes to paying for livery
hire in towns you do not work, it is
our business and we do object.
Now how do you account for this
item of Livery. Green Bay, $3.50"

Looking for Bout in Ward

Curly Ulrick, the popular Superior,
Wis, pugilist, is still looking for a
match to be pulled off in Minot. Some
time ago, the grand jury of that coun-

Since the jury adjourned, however,
there is hope that match could be
pulled off IN the western Dakota met

On Feb. 20 at Superior, Ulrick will
go up against Otto Sieloff, who, like
Ulrick, is a Superior man.
