Che Girl Wttb TrecRIes

The beauty Parlors advertise
Your freckles to remove,
And offer costly remedies
Compilations to- improve;
You'd think to read their nonsense
Twas proper to suppose
1t really was a blemish
To have freckles on your nose.
A girl whose nose is freckled
, Is not a dollhouse flower.
She glories in the open,
In sunshine and in shower
Her eyes are gray and shining,
Her face with Vigor glows,
And the picture is not injured
BY the fire ckies on her nose.
You'll find her at the bah game.
Because she loves the sport.
You'll see her on the golf links
And at the tennis. court.
Her hair is free and hataess,
And with the zephyrs blows.
But i really goes superoIy
With the ireckles on her nose,
SO wed your faultiess beauties.
With skin of Parton hue,
Whose features are like MARBLE.
Whose smiles are cold and few,
But let me WOO Mirandy-
I'll take her as she goes
a wholesome. blooming damsel,
With frcckles on her nose.

Horses Must Be Cared For

left to stand In the vacant lots In
the city, must be blanketed suffl-
GENTLY to keep them from suffering.
Mr.. Scarlet made the rounds We'd
nesday and found a number of teams
standing out in the cold, and it being
after the noon hour, Mr.. Scarlet
gave the owners orders to take care
of them forthwith, or he would do it
for them. He will see that all horses
not given the proper care, will be
sent TO some livery barn at the ex-
pense Of the owners.

When Cash arrived home that ev.

Cash Off the farm. Cash kept on com.
ing towards him and Johnson said
he fired once, over Gash's head to
brighten him away and as he was
aboutto change triggers. the second
load went off accidentally and killed
Cash. The fact that Cash was shot
in the back of the head, proved
very hard matter for Johnson to ex-
plain. Johnson said that he under
stood that Cash was a very quarrel

shot gun into use to bluff him.

HURD H0WLS
WHEN HURT
County commissioner who abated
taxes gives forty lame excuses
Tax payers not satisfied with ex-
Elanaticn

Henry Hurd, commissioner from
the first district, in lengthy COM
munication in this issue tried to
explain to the taxpayers his reasons
for abating taxes by the wholesale,
contrary to law. The fact that the
supreme court decided that the COM
missioners had exceeded their au-
thority, is a sufficient rebuke for the
men. who evidently thought that they
were greater than the law.
Mr.. Hurd says that States Attor-
ney Nash did not file a written opin-
ion with the commissioners concern
ing the matter. Mr.. Nash says that
not only once did he do this but
three or four times, and still the CON-
missioners went ahead with their
work. Ask Mr. Nash about the mat
ter if you care for further proof
The Independent wants Mr.. Hurd
and the other county commissioners
to understad that we are not trying
to play even with them because they
once played a childish prank on us,
because they know, and the public
very we'll knows that we could still
be doing share of the work of Ward
county, had we not seen fit to criticize
some of the actions of this board.
We never yet have been muzzled by
anybody and we propose to continue
to inform the public when the COM
missioners exceed their authority as
they did in abating taxes in Ward
county to the extent Of thirty or for
ty thousand dollars, the reduction OF
the valuation, contrary to law. The
Independent proposes to see that no
one has special privileges.
The county commissioners could
have been tending to their business
when they we're abating taxes con-
trary to law, thus saving the county
a good many dollars in wages. They
have to keep busy at something how
ever. Some day when we have lit
tie time, we are going up to the audi
tors office and make copies Of the
commissioners bills for the past
three or four years. This will make
good reading.

Several Farms Change Hands.

Through the agency Of Youngman
& Olson, the Minot real estate men,
the Ben Mcdonald section of land two
miles north of Burlington was sold
to Jacob Clementich, a well known
old timer, for $15,SOo, this week. Mr. {.
Clementich will stock the farm with
dairy COWS at once There are five in
his family who can milk and they
will 60 into the business right. Mr..
Clementich was about to buy a farm
near Edmonton, Alta, but changed
his mind, after paying a small sum
down on it.
The firm also sold to Mr.. McDon-
aid 2 Id acre tract on Harrison
street for $4,000, and Monday sold
the Andy Urban quarter section of
land three miles north of the city to
T. J.. Horton for spot cash.
The real estate business seems to

DOING AWAY WITH SLANG

The girls of a western town have
an anti-slang society. A certain
miss was elected president, and when
;,sked if she would accept the posi-
ton she replied: Sure Mike! BY
Gosh, girls, I'm so ratified in my GU
pola that I'm really short on CAB.
We're certainly hitting the high plac-
es and l never tumbled to such a DO
sition before, but when I give you
the highball I expect to get there Ell
and whoop her up for all that's out.
I think I'm up to snuff enough so that
the flies won't light light on mo
while doing the president stunt Of
this society act, and won't stand for
any monkey doodle business from you
girls while am running the ranch. We
girls ought to extend an invite to

Against Turner

Lewis l.. Turner, charged with
conducting blind pig in the old Reea
restaurant south of the Great North
ern passenger depot, was found guilty
by the jury Wednesday night. Atty.
John Burke appeared for Turner, and
hard fight was put up. Two Of the
main witnesses against Turner we're
two women, Signe Gilbertson and
Clara Warren, who swore that they
had bought beer from Turner. The
girls roomed at Turner's place. 1t
is understood that this is the second
time that Turner has been convicted
OF this crime and if It is, the peni-
Tertiary probably stares him in the
face.
