roads a large number of invited
guests gathered at the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilfrid Z ri
meau, six miles east of town last
Friday evening and there spent sew
eral hours in a thoroughly enjoyable
manner. The Primeaus had waited
until the close of the Strater school
and the busy seeding season was over
to give this party so that all might
the more enjoy an evening Of relaxa-
tion and also rejoice in the promise
of bountiful crops, consequently the
"bunch" was a very large and happy
one. Dancing was the principal
amusement of the evening and the
Estabrooks ranch house, now owned
by Mr.. Primeau, and only a short
distance from their own residence,
was transformed for the occasion.
by the removal of partitions the first
floor was changed into a large ball
room, while the midnight supper was
served up stairs. 70 the music of
Mr.. Primeau's violin the devotees Of
old Terpsichore gayly fitted DER the
floor, and when they sat down to par
take Of the refreshments there was
nothing lacking for their happiness.
Several kinds of sandwiches and as
many kinds of cake, with pickles i.
coffee and delicious ice cream were
enjoyed and then there was dahcing
again, until daylight-a June day
break in Montana sometimes comes
too early anyway, and that may &C.
count for some of the guests not gett-
ing home until Old Sol had been up
for a number of hours. None forgot,
however, before taking their depart
ure to vote Mr.. and Mr.. Primeau
royal entertainers.

The new trains are looked Upon as
exceptionally important because Of

Duluth, July 12.-Eight thousands

These are the stakes for which
John Hoffman, the attorney who is de-
Tending the town Of Buyck in a law
suit brought by a Chicago man to en-
force the collection of a 100000 bond
issue, is playing.
According to the contract which At

fee of $4,000 over and above expens-
es If he wins the bond suit. II he los
es. he will be given 500 and his ex-
penses for his trouble.
The proceedings formally require
the township officials to come INTO
court and show reason why the town
should not be dissolved because of
the a hat fraud was practiced in
it's inception and by it's first set of
officers. The township officials in the
bond suit which is pending in district

Pennington Of the 500 railroad, in
company with the townsite agent. ar
rived in this city by special train and
started in an automobile for a trip
over the company's survey west Of
town. The officials made no state
ment as to the object Of this trip,
but 1t is the general impression that
the Ambrose line will be extended
this summer. There is a large, rich
territory in western Divide county
that only needs a railroad to insure
its rapid development, and 1t is the
hope Of everyone that the 500 people
may see their way clear to extend
the Ambrose line at once.
