bina on the N. P. short time ago but

velop large tract of timber land which
he owns in Mexico short distance from
the American line in the vicinity of Ell

Express messenger, B. Wilkinson was
arrested last Monday as he passed
through on N. P. charged with snug
Cling. He was taken to Grand Forks and
gave $1,000. bond for his appearance.
The specific charge was on dress.
Some papers have made rather sensat-
ional remarks as to the extent of the
smuggling charged but they have no
real grounds except rumor. From in
formation which we think reliable, we
believe that nothing of an extensive
nature is expected to develop by the
customs officials.
