We read news item last Friday that
made US reminiscent. It was to the
effect that q newspaper to be called the
Times, was about to be launched at
Elgin out in Hettinger county. This
news item took US back twenty-seven
years, when as callow youth Of nine.
teen we establish the North Dakota Sun
at Elgin, Cavalier county. The paper
was printedsfrom an army press, in a
little l6 foot square shack more than
half mile from any habitatlon. The
i post Office of Elgin was in Hummel
township and was presided over by
James Watson. The paper lead a short
and merry life attempting to CLEAN
|support from the proof notices that
were ripe in Cavalier county in those
days, but fate was against the shetland
lit died a natural death some eight
months after its establishment. We
trust the new paper and the new town
down in the southwest corner Of the
Estate will have more to show on the

no criminal proceedings against the
