Township boards meet on the End
Tuesday in March, the 10th, for the last
business session of the year. Township
election will occur on the third Tues
day in March, which is the 18th. In
this township the annual caucus will
probably be called for Saturday previous
to election, the I4th.
On Thursday night of last week, be-
tween IL and II o'clock someone threw
an empty beer tottle through one of the
big plate glass windows in Chas. Full's
store. The act was that of a coward,
and evidently made by some irresponsi-
BILE person who deserves severe punish
ment, which is awaiting anyone convict
ed of such a crime. Midnight sprees in
back rooms will be watched after this,
and no mercy will be shown the guilty
party if detected.
The comedy drama "Shaun Aroon"
will be given on the 18th, week from
Tuesday. A rehearsal will be given for
the benefit of the children on the even
ing previous. Twelve characters will be
represented and as the play has been in
in preparation for some time and as the
actors have mostly all shown their tai
ents in public previously. it is expected
that the performance will be the best
that has been produced by the club.
The proceeds will be for the benefit of
the Catholic church.
The Mohr-McMillan troupe played to
full house here on Friday evening. This
was the entertainment provided by the
Minneapolis Journal as premium for
subscriptions solicited and collected by
the ladies of the M. E. church. While
there is nothing of especial brilliapcy in
the varied program, yet it was varied
enough to prevent monotony, and there
was no number but possessed interest
and as whole the performance was
enjoyable.
Ed. Ross, the burglar who was confin-
ed in the county Jail for burglarizing
the Walhalla jewelry store and cracking
the G. N. Safe at the same place was
arraigned before Judge Kneeshaw on
Friday and pied guilty to the charges,
and was sent to the penitentiary for
twenty years at hard labor. Sheriff
accompanied by j. E. Ash
ley took the prisoner to Bismarck on
Sunday, and thus one of the most
notorious criminals ever brought to
justice in this county is safely behind
the bars.
John Eastman, of Carlisle, was in the
city attending the institute and at the
same time soliciting business for Bath
gate mill of which he and his son Eph-
riam are the OWNERS. Mr.. Eastman SAYS
the mill is doing: we'll, and turning out
as good -four as any mill in the country.
It is their intention to form stock COM
pany of farmers and go into the buis-
ness extensively. Mr.. Eastman is very
enthusiastic over the new proposed road
through Carlisle and is doing his. share
to help it along, and looks for the day
when the fond hopes of seeing a railrord
train from his own door, which he has
predicted since the 7O's shall be realized.
Sunday evening the large stable and
barn on the old Douville homestead, on
the Pembina river about eight miles
from town was burned, together with
two horses, COW, three large hogs and
six small pigs, binder, pillow, and other
farm implements and all harness were
also lost in the flames. The place il
owned by Louis Morris and rented b,
Frank Volrath. The personal propert,
destroyed belonged to Mr.. Volrath. The
barn was a large one, and was valued al
seven hundred dollars and it and the
personal property were uninsured. The
school teacher was doing the chores
about the barn in the absence of Mr.
Volrath, using lantern. He set thu
lantern on feed box while he was car
ing for kitten about the premises anG
when he came back the barn was il
flames. A puppy had its bed just be
hind the feed box and it is supposed tina
the dog jumped out and turned over tn,
lantern on the floor. Two horses ant
some few other things were gotten gu
before the fire was too far advanced.
