LIGHT GUARD.

The company was givtn q short drill
by the Captain after which it was turn
ed over TO the different non-commis-
stoned officers who drilled the company
for the rest of the evening, OF course
these officers made a few mistakes, but
inasmuch as they have not drilled a

cleaned, which made the hall look
very pretty The program consisted
of eighteen dances, including four or
five barn dances, the latter being
danced with much enthusiasm by all
members as well as their lady friends,
for this dance was one of "those" fav-
orite ones at camp The hop on the

WARRANT FOR ARREST OF
FRED HARTMAN.

A warrant was sworn out in the
justice court yesterday afternoon
against Fred Hartman, a prominent
farmer out near Svenson. charging
him with assault with a deadly wea-
pom. The complaint was made by

derstood that behind the formal COM
plant lies charge that Hartman shot
at Fkstrom's son with revolver,
The two men have been in trouble
before and once before Hartman had
Ekstrom arrested The trouble seems
to have arisen over the opening of the
new county road there, and incident
ally over the question Of fences and
cattle that stray.
Hartman is said to be now in Port
land, where he also has interests, and
no attempt will be made to serve the
