column of information for hunters
If the hunters generally don't get
more game than some Of the Minot
nimrods who have been out such in
formation proves of little value.
Mrs. Mic Zirbes of White Earth
has a Duchess apple tree loaded so

o'clock in the morning and the man
must have been insane. He had been
worrying over financial matters. He
had mortgaged his Homestead for
$500 and there was a chattel mort
gage Of $1,000 against his personal
property. He had raised little crop
for two years and was about to be
sold out. His children were taken to
