Mr.. Gallagher is not to leave the
ministry, having been called to a
country church in the neighbor-
hood Of his land-giving him the
opportunity of continuing his
chosen profession and at the same
time initiating himself and his
boys into the problems and cares
of the ranch. All here will wish
the family success in all their
undertakings. - Casselton Re-

Joseph G. Forbes and Charles
E. Wolf, lawyers of Wahpeton,
reached here on the same train
and there are surface indications
that some Richland county mat
tiers are being submitted to the
supreme court. AS a rule Rich
land county is a peaceable COM
munity, but there are times when
it's people kick over the traces.
Once Col. Purcell was called upon
to respond to "Richland Coun-
ty," at banquet here. He said
a lot of delightful things, as he
| always does, but along on his
Dragging of Richland county he
said, 1--WE have in Richland coun-
ty the fair-haired Scandinavian,
the frugal, thrifty and Industrious
Teuton, who has made our coun-
try garden spot, and just about
enough Irish to run the politics
of both parties" No one gave
heavier applause than did James
F. Shea, the United States mar
shall. Col. Purcell had long been
the democratic leader of the Wah-
peton country.-Bismarck Trib-
une.
