The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1908-02-06

A Ray citizen who was accused in
the Recorder Of feeding his chickens
salmon in the cans, without furnish
ing them openers, thereby causing
their death, denies the report.
A year ago the editor of the Ross
Valley News was "agin' - Hans
brough, and he did not have an oppor-
tunity to publish single final proof.
Today the editor is shouting himself
hoarse for the foxy senior senator, and
his paper is full of legals. The un-
principled Register holds govern
ment position, and is therefore mere
ly servant Of the people. yet he does
not use them all fairly. The indie
pendent feels very certain that this
individual will be ousted from office
within short time, his closest friends
hoping only to keep him until after
the primaries.
It ID not certain that the 500 will
put on the Spokane Limited again
during the present year. The 500
planned on getting the government
mail contract when the train was
planned on, but owing to the fact
that it would have to go thru Canada,
the government could not allow this
company the contract. The carrying
of the mail would have paid the ex-
penses of the train during the first
year, otherwise the train would be
run at loss.
There IS probability that the
church forces of Sherwood will unite
and soon there may be but one
G. urch, which ought to be a strong
one.
8, A. Sorenson Of Sherwood is the
latest candidate for sheriff in Ward
county, He's No. 20.
A horse was taken from barn at
Sherwood, driven hard, and returned
before morning. The owner thanks
the culprit for returning the animal.

Mayor Fahlman of Omaha was
elected from the hall by order of
Governor Burke, chairman of the
Waterways congress. Dahlman tried
to inject politics into the conven.
ton, and when he said, "You will
have to go down to Washington and
see Uncle Joe Cannon and Allison
about that" there were cries from
the delegates of "Put him out" The
mayor was ruled out of order bu
he'd his ground, whereupon the gov
ernor called the seargent at arms
and that official was elected.
The pussy willow trees at Milton
are budding-a sign of springlike
weather.
G. w. Hookway has announced him
self as candidate for county Judge OF
McHenry county. He is brilliant
young attorney and ought to make an
excellent campaign.
The McHenry county papers are
regretting the fact that Sheriff jaw
mayer dares not run for Office again
as the four year limit Will have beer
up. He has made good sheriff, ana
| NO mistake.

A lot OF Indians enrpute from Gas:

visit their relatives, caused much
trouble for the employees of 6 G. N

nearly all full, and one big buck witt

the fellow was as clipper as the rest
That jamestown, N. D., picnic on
Jan. 10, was a dandy. The band
played in the park and thousand
people gathered The ladies wore
their summer dresses and linen
busters were in evidence. Many en-
joyed the warm weather-the Their
mometer stood at 60 degrees above
zero-and rode out to the park in car.
