JACK JOHNSON IS
STILL CHAMPION

Mi. JOHNSON mas put Mr.. Jeffries
to sleep and the world once more
moves peacefully on. The black fel-
low did the deed in the fifteenth round
at Reno, New, on July 4th, before a
crowd of people That paid $250,OOO
for the privilege of seeing one strong
bully nearly knock the life out Of an
other. OF course, the champions were
fighting for money and they came
away with nearly a hundred thousand
dollars apiece. We hope that Mr..
Jeffries is now satisfied and that he
will lose no time in getting a useful
Job. As for MIR. Johnson, he will
probably go on the stage and in the
meanwhile we will have to give the
walk to the colored folks.

Candidate Defeated For County Judge
BY Nehemiah Davis Hopes That
Votes in Burke and Renvile
Counties Will Not be
Counted.

1t is said that Judge VIM Murray is
thinking seriously of contesting the
election, whereby he was defeated for
County Judge by N. Davis by nearly
250 votes. Mr.. Murray says that he
has beaten Davis by small majority
of votes if the vote in Renville and
Burke counties are not counted and
he contends that those votes should
not be counted. While the law
states that a county is not deemed
formed until the governor appoints
the county commissioners, the Judge
hopes to show that this would. have
been done before the election had not
Judge Burr interfered.
On the other hand, If it comes to
a contest, Mr.. Davis will contend that
that the counties were not regularly
formed counties at the time of elect
ION, and that the voters had a right
to cast their ballots until such time
as the commissioner were appointed,
and the counties organized regularly.
This would be Q matter for the su-
preme court to decide, if t.4e question
is raised.

THE FOURTH AT
SURROUNDING TOWNS
Go1mar Bros.
The Best Ever

Gollmar Bros. circus was with us
last Saturday bigger and better than
ever. The big tent, pitched in
Spring Lake Park was crowded to
the very limit and the crowd was very
enthusiastic over the performance.
By the time that the parade started,
the down town district was crowded
with merry throng, many Of whom
came in from the surrounding towns
on the morning trains, while others
drove in long distances from the coun-
try.
The attractions were more numer-
Gus and better than last year. Coll
mar Bros, can always be depended
upon to give an up to date perform
ance. The thirty clowns were on hand
with a bunch of new tricks and the
latest stunts. The work of the train
ed elephants and the six trained seals
is especially worthy of mention. The
trained animal act alone Is worth the
price Of admission" we heard one Of
the spectators remark and It certain
ly was. Clean and wholesome in
every particular Gollmar Bros. circus
without doubt, is the best that ever
visited the west. We hope they'll
be with, us every year.

GREAT TIME At BURLINGTON.

An immense crowd gathered at No
Mans Land near Burlington on Mon
day and were highly pleased with the
celebration. The Burlington business
men had left no stone unturned to
make this one Of the best celebrations
ever held in the county.
Arthur LIE Sueur gave an address
in the forenoon. Mr.. LIE Sueur ad-
vanced some excellent points and his
address was unusually interesting.
C. B. Tfbbetts, an old time actor,
gave an interesting talk on the topics
OF the day. A good program was rem
dered and music was furnished by the
Burlington band.
The ball game between Burlington
and picked up team from Minot
was a very much one sided affair,
Burlington being too strong for the
visitors. The visitors didn't get
score while Burlington ran in 80 many
that the official scorekeeper failed to
keep q correct record of them.

REPORT IS OFF COLOR.
Eastern Reports Have Conditions !"
North Dakota Painted Much
Worse Than They Are.

A report sent out by an eastern
grain firm says that the conditions IN
Northwestern North Dakota, are much
worse than any other place in the
state. While our early wheat Is not
looking any too "rosy" in spots, the
crop is far from failure as a general
thing, and ought to average up around
a so per cent crop. We have good
crops in the vicinity Of Ray, Crosby,
Mohall and other points in North
western North Dakota. The condl-
tions are not highly satisfactory, we
viii have to admit, but there Is no
use in painting them worse than
they are. We will average up WIN
any other section Of the state, ana
those who have visited our section
state that we are in better shape than
any Of the others.

tor succeeded in raising it from the.
ground but about foot.
LOGAN HAS BIG CELEBRATION.
The beautiful woods in the vicinity
of Logan were the Mecca for crowd
Of several hundred who wished to get
