We had a slight fall of snow Friday
afternoon which made US believe for
awhile that writer had come, but we
quickly and joyfully changed our mind
Monday. when Old Sol came out and
licked up the snow quicker than it
came. E
At the meeting of the township com
missioners last Friday 1t was fully de.
cided to lay out the road commencing
at the southwest corner of section 20
and the northwest corner Of section
30 and extending east four miles to
the township line. This road has long
been In need of considerable work, but
none could eve be done on account
of it having never been properly laid
out. Work will nov be done on it as
soon as it is fit in the spring.
j.. A. Weist spent the latter part OF
last week AMI the fore part of this
with his family at McClusky. They
are making preparations TO move here
in the neal future.
C.. Cell, our industrious helper at
the depot. took in the dance at Motif
last Saturday night and forgot to
come back. Consequently his pay
check will be short one dollar this
month as a result of missing No. As
mail Sunday morning.
Bill Nelson. of near MenOken, got
up with the chickens Monday morning
and came to town in style with a
bobsled. Bill" is always a good fell
low to meet, and while he was en-
gagged in swapping stories with friends
and acquaintance. Of which there are
a large number here, Old Sol came
out strong and. presto. change! the
snow was soon gone. leaving Mr.. Mel
son stranded without any sleighing.
This did not discourage him in the
least, for an extra crack OF the whip
sent his steeds over the bare roads
at a two-forty clip and the stream of
sparks flying out from the steel shoes
no doubt set the prairie fire that rag
ed that afternoon and evening.
H. X. Moffit, in Frances township,
had a singular experience last week.
He went to Bismarck to contract for
the sale of about a dozen large pork
ers, and having satisfactorily done
this, he returned only to find that the
hogs had disappeared. No trace of
them could be found at all and Mr..
Mofit came to Mckenzie last Friday
evening and acquainted the sheriff at
Bismarck with the circumstances,
which to the owner Of the hogs look
ed rather significant, Before any fur.
lher developments, however, the hogs
were found at home again the fore
part Of the week and Mr.. Motif is
now trying to determine where they
had been in the meantime.
