A. T. Tracy, the first sheriff of
Ward county, arrived in Minot this
morning from the west, to attend the
old settlers picnic at Burlington,
and visit with his mother, who re-
sides with her son. L. B. Tracy,
north of Burlington. He was accom-
panied by his wife, who is sister
of L. S. Foote, and she has the dis
tinction of having been the first SUI
perintendent of schools Of Ward
county.
1t had been seventeen years since
they had visited Minot and the
change that had taken place was
hardly believable.
They looked about the city, seeing
but a few of the faces that they
knew in the early days, and it was
with some difficulty that they were
able to locate the once familiar
spots.

He had a double object; one was to
hide it from possible providers, the 9TH
