John Flaherty writes to the editor
letter from which the following is
an extract: Please change the ad-
dress on my paper to read. 'Pasade-

They say that County Gudg Car
ley really does carry out the provis-
ions Of the new anti-miscegenation
law by asking the searchers after
connubial bliss whether either has
any Senegambian blood in his or her
veins. Where the he party to the
wedding stunt is big and husky, the
boys at the courthouse say that the
Gudg goes into the clerk of courts
room, next to his'n, locks the door
and yells through the key-hole:
Got any niger blud in yer veins?"
Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Honstain, for
merly of Linton, but now of Mon
dak. Montana, arrived by Monday $
N. T. train to visit few days with
their relatives. They will then so
TO Minnesota to visit relatives. ''Al"
likes the country very we'll where
he is now living, but says that the
incoming OF agricultural settlers has
pushed the stock running on free
ranges to points farther west. A
good many of the old-timers there
who formerly depended entirely on
stock are farming.
Many of the old-timers in Linton
were surprised last Saturday to re-
celve a visit from H. A. Archam-
bault, an early settler in Emmons
county who i'm the olden time kept a
store at Emmonsburg, and who also
ran toll-bridge at that point, at
or near where the first iron bridge
in the county was built. 'Shambo,
as his friends call him for short,
bears his years we'll. His former
tawny locks are now gray, as might
be expected when they belong to a
man well along in the seventies.
and his flowing gray beard reminds
one of the pictures he has seen of
Moses. The Record received well
come call from the old patriarch,
who was always kind and hospit-
able man to those who treated him
right, and who never went back on
a friend during his many years
residence in this county. The old
gentleman is stout and hearty even
as he was on the day score of
years ago when he fed the editor
and couple Of dozen other Emmon-
sonians on the flesh of the purp
"unbeknownst" to his guests.
There was quite crowd of En-
mons county people in Bismarck last
Sunday to witness two games of
base ball between the Hazelton and

dentally, to see foot-race. The

was won by the Bismarckers, owing
to certain of the Hazelton players
losing their grip in the first inning,
the score standing 6 g In this
game McDougal pitched for Hazel

ers. Winch" Batter caught for
Hazelton in both games. and Ed
wards for Bismarck didljkewise. My

KurtZ of Hazelton and Bismarcker
named Smith, the latter being a
head or so taller than the former.
The Hazelton lad, however. won with
ease. and no one knows how much
faster this SO far unbeaten young

had it been necessary. After sup
