LOOK BACK TO THE PEOPLE.

President LeSueur and Commits
sioner Emerson have resigned. Le-
Sueur's resignation was expected and
Emerson's was not. This places the
affairs Of the city Of Minot in the
hands Of j.. D. McGahan, E. H.
Boyer and w. S. Shaw, for the pre-
sent. Many declare that McGahan
has the Minot city commission in his
hands Probably Messrs. Boyer and
Shaw will not agree with this state
ment At any rate, McGahan, Boyer
and Shaw so far seem to agree upon
all matters that have come up. If
they continue to think alike on all
questions, then it will matter little
to the citizens Of Mtnot, who will be
elected to fill the vacancies caused
by the resignation of LeSueur and
En- erson. AS far as the Independent
is concerned, It cares little If Commits
sioner McGahan, Boyer and Shaw do
agree upon all subjects, as long -
they give US the right kind Of an

so surprised that he pulled up his
horses and waited for developments
He didn't have to wait very long
With a growl and a flourish Of her
forepaws, the bear made for the mail
carrier, the cubs waddling along
after her on all fours. Bailey's horse
srorted In terror at this unexpected
move by Mother Bruin, and whirled
about in the road so sharply that the
wagon was upset and the mail and
mail carrier spilled out In the dust.
AS Bailey picked himself up he
pulled his automatic revolver out of
his pocket and fired at the bear,
which was almost on him. The bullet
went true, and she rolled over in the
road, snarling and clawing. She
seemed to have enough of battle, for
the next minute she picked herself
up and scampered off into the woods
with the cubs, leaving a trail of blood
behind her
AS soon as the shaken Bailey could
collect himself, he caught his horses,
which had stopped after running a
short distance down the road, and,
with the aid of party of autoists
that came along soon after he righted
his wagon and hitched up.

expect sympathy and appreciation in
