appreciation of their efforts.
Do you know where to get the
best four9 Go to F. Sable, at
Hague. He handles the white
Lily" flour.
Since the front page of the Record
was printed there have been some
new developments in the investiga-
ton as to the identity of the dead
man found near the old Shier ranch.
II is now believed that the deceased
might be D. S. Parkhurst, an aged
man from Mandan. who has been
missing for week or &C. He was
70 years of age and rather feeble.
Relatives will investigate.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Lee returned
Tuesday from visit of few days
at Aberdeen. They accompanied
Mr.. and Mrs. John Richards that far
on their return trip to their home in
Chicago. MIR. Richards isSsa brother
of Mrs. Lee and they had been visit
ing their Linton relatives for the
past two months. Mr.. Richards is
we'll pleased with the county and
sees no reason why one can't make as
good a living here as elsewhere. He
is brick-mason by trade.
Representatives of the Railway
Trainmen's Association were in Lin
ton a couple of days this week con-
sulting with local authorities rela-
tive to the body recently found in
the Missouri river near the Shier
ranch. 1t was thought by them that
it might be the body of Brakeman
Rutherford who mysteriously disap-
peared from mis- train between Bis.
marck and Mandan some time ago.
Such did not prove to be the case,
for the body found was that of a
man much older than Rutherford.
Reports from up Hazelton way
are to the effect that one night last
week neighborhood fight broke out
in the settlement west of town and
that couple of the principals got
pretty badly used up. Jake Helfen-
stein and neighbor received the
greater injuriea Helfenstein re-
ceived couple of bullet wounds as
we'll as several slashes with knife,
while his opponent was pretty badly
cut about the face and shoulders.
The injured men were fixed up by
Hazelton physicians and so far we
understand there have been no COM
plants to the authorities.

QUEEN MARY BARS
Big GAMBLING CLUB
C0nSOrt Ends Plans For Exclu-
SiVe WOman'S House.

London.-Queen Mary by reason Of
bling in any form by women has pre-
vented the establishment of a woman'S
club in London which. from social
point Of view. by far would have out
ranked any existing woman's club in
the city and which, in fact, would
have been a kind of woman's Marlbor-
ough club.
The incident at the same time shows
how. in spite of the queens strong and
constantly demonstrated objection, the
society women of England are equally
determined not to be deprived of their
big or little gambling.
A plan was formulated short time
ago to start woman's club the mem
bership of which was to be restricted
to past and present ladies of the vari-
GUS royal households in England. At
first everything pointed to its imme-
date great success. Nearly every
royal lady residing in England prom
Used to join. and strong body OF la
dies of the royal households fmme-
diately came in.
OF course it was absolutely essen
tial that such a club should have the
support of the queen. as she is the
head of the select body from which
the members were to be selected
Lady Agneta Montague. the organic
ing secretary of the club. Immediately
approached Queen Mary as soon as the
successful establishment Of the club
was assured couple Of weeks ago
the queen wrote to Lady Agneta that
she would join the club. but only on
the conditions that there should be no
card room in it and that no male Wis
itors should be received
These conditions were made known.
and two weeks sufficed to show that
they rendered the formation OF the
club impossible, for Of the $50 ladies
who formed the original nucleus Of
the organization $40 have now with
drawn their names. AS result the
scheme has been abandoned.
