\ Ward county patron of acream-
cry was urged u furnish more milk
to the concern. He replied that he
was bringing IN the product of
fourteen COWS. Ihe creamery man

The Wolford Mirror says that
cow belonging to a farmer near that
town gave birth to twin calves, and
the owner of the COW is as tickled as
a boy with pair of new rcd-topped
boots. That's nothing, says the
Rolette County Examiner. AtJ A.
Charboneau's farm, near this place.
COW gave birth TO twin calves. and
just few days later another COW on
the same farm also gave birth to
twins. Twin calves are an unusual
event, but twin calves twice the
same week Oh the same farm are
something we ion't believe they can
match even at Wolford.
Crazed by long captivity ina small
hole on the prairie, into which it had
in some manner fallen. a broncho
owned by Schuyler Lebo, ranch
man living in the bad lands in Stark
county. almost killed its owner after
he had liberated the animal. MIR.
Lebo discovered the horse, and was
successful, after several hours of
work, in releasing it, Just the
moment the hroncho reached firm
ground he became excited and
crazed, apparently by the long cap
|ivity. and in kicking struck his
owner. Mr.. Lci,o received a terrific
blow in the breast, several ribs he
ing broken. He will recover.
The pupils ol the Belmont and
Roosevelt schools at Grand Forks
were given an opportunity of seeing
the blue and the gray when
George b. Winship. in the uniform
of the Grand brmy of the Repub-
lie. and j. X. Parsons, in the gray
of the Confederate army. paid a
visit to the schools. Naturally. the
children were very much interested
in the two uniforms. and the Incl
dent had the valle of placing before
their eyes the uniforms around
which center So much of historical
and poetic significance. Short talks
were made to he pupils by both
Mr. Winship md Mr.. Parsons.
So says the Grand Forks Herald
Yes, but. while he Confederate uni
form worn by Nj. Parsons was that
of war days, tha dress of Mr. Win
ship was not the uniform of the boys
in blue of the SIXTIES. There is little
resemblance between the Grand Ar
my uniform and that of the federal
soldiers of the c il war.
