Acoup de of Scotch ministers were
taking dinner together one summer
day in a little manse in the high
lands. It was the Sabbath day, the
weather was beautiful, and the bub-
bling streams were full Of trout and
the woods full of summer birds.
One turned to the other and said:
"Mon, don't ye often feel tempted
on these beautiful Sundays to go
out fshing?"
"Na, na," said the other, 81 never
feel tempted. I JUST gang"

HORSES QUICKLY SOLD

The scheduled 3-day sale of the
Glendive Horse Sales Company clos
ed yesterday afternoon at the end
of the second days sales, on account
of practically all of the best stock
being sold.
More buyers were here than at
the last sale, but the grade of stock
was hardly as good, consequently
the sales were hardly as large, al
though it is conservatively estimat-
ed that some 500 horses were sold.
Very good prices were realized on
all of the best stock. The A. F. Kel-
ly horses were probably the best
stock placed on the market at this
SALE Mr.. Reese of California Sc
cured car of the Kelly geldings at
$3.50 per head. Twelve head of
mares went for $3.50, car of 2-year-
Odds for 500 and two geldings for
$3.50 each. These animals were
typical of the best stock sold.
Mr.. Baird, the popular auctioneer,
of the sales has been engaged by the
Dawson County Fair Association as
starter at the Fair week after next.
Needless to say his services will be
very acceptable to the horsemen.
The Catholic ladies had charge of
the refreshment privilege and rea-
lied some $40 for their treasury.

occur on Oct. l, 2 and 3.

TRIO OF WEDDINGS
From the Wibaux Pioneer:

l.
The first couple to lead the pro-
cession was Mr.. Mike Ryan and
Miss Emily Gift, who went to Glen
dive and were quietly married last
Thursday. returning to Wibaux the
evening Of the same day. They were
treated to a riotous chivari that
night, and moved onto their claim
near town the next day where they
will make their future home.
The Pioneer joins their large cir
Gle of friends in wishing Mr.. and
Mrs. Ryan a large measure of hap
piness and prosperity in their new
life.
Our genial postmaster, w. E..
Williamson, was the next to get
busy and he went to Richmond,
Kentucky, and was married on
Tuesday, August Is, to Miss Lucy
Biggerstaff. The lady, of course,
is stranger here but Mr.. William
son is so well and favorably known
that his many friends, with whom
the Pioneer is pleased to join, are
sure that he has made no mistake
and accordingly extend cordial
welcome coupled with hearty con-
CALCULATIONS and best wishes, to Mr..
and Mrs. Williamson-may their
welded life be one of happiness.
The above mentioned couples
rather surprised a good many of
their friends but the eliminating
shock came when, on Tuesday eve
ming. entirely without warning to
their friends, Prof. Frank P. Baird
and Miss Bessie M. Barnes were
married. 1t happened in this way:
When Mr.. Williamson and his bride
returned Prof. Baird wanted to give
them little reception and accord
lngly made arrangements to do so
at his house on the claim four miles
east of town. The friends congre-
gated there, Rev. Douglas being
among them, and suddenly Mr..
Baird and Miss Barnes stood UP,
and the preacher stood there too
and then Mr.. and Mrs. Baird re-
ceived the congratulations. The
news created quite a furore in town
the next morning, but the preacher
was here and substantiated the ru-
NOR so even the most incredulous
were forced to accept it as gospel
truth. As soon as their friends re-
cover from the shock they will be
offered best wishes and congratula-
tons, but at present such an effort
can hardly be expected of them, al
though the Pioneer, since it can
speak but once a week, takes this
opportunity to express its best
wishes.
