Now that &c many automobiles are
huzzing about town in a careless
manner. Hazelton more than ever
needs to incorporate. SO we can fix
and enforce a speed limit.
The family of E. M. Jones is hav-
ing siege of measles this week. All
the children have the disease. and.
as e. M. escaped when he was small,
he may also be victim presently.
After spending couple of weeks
in a hospital at Bismarck. recovering
from an operation. Mrs. Julius Sauer
returned home Tuesday evening.
She is quite we'll again. but still rath-
er weak.
1t is expected the poles for the
new telephone line to be built out
west of town will be here the last of
this week or the first of next. As
soon as the material arrives work
will be started on the line.
j. w. Wilson, of Gayton. who was
taken to st. Alexius hospital at Bis
marck on May 10th and operated
upon, is now on the road to recovery.
For day or two after the operation
his condition was very serious, but
he slowly overcame the obstacles tn
life and is reported to be doing
nicely.
Wesley Baker. Jr. was in town
Monday to have pet" felon on
his right hand lanced. The said pet
had been causing MIR. Baker extreme
pain for two or three days and
nights, during which time he could
get no sleep. It's to be hoped the
operation will cause the growth to
disappear.
Joe Appert met with painful
and rather serious accident Monday
forenoon, when the feam which he
was driving ran May. and during
the mix-up he young man
was thrown Sy,oIently to the
ground. breaking his collar-bone in
two places. The fractures are bad
ones and he will he laid up for some
time.
Tuesday was the hottest day this
year. The heat was go intense as to
cause the rails on this branch of the
N. P. to twist up enough so that it
was necessary for the train to make
several stops on the way down from
Mckenzie to fix the track where the
rails had expanded. Local thermom-
etcrs registered around the 100
mark in the sun.
Last week, while Anton Kramer
was putting away his horses at his
farm, four miles east of town, one
of the animals kicked him on the leg
just above the knee, fracturing the
bone and splitting the knee-cap. He
will be laid up for some time to
come. and during the past week has
been confined to is bed. MIR. Kramer
had just finished his seeding when
the accident happened.
The time is now ripe to begin to
make plans for Fourth OF July Gel
ebration IL a celebration is to take
place in Hazelton. For several years
past there has been talk of cele-
bration here, but each time we have
graciously given way to some other
town. We believe this year Hazel
ton should take the initiative in the
matter and show her colors. Let's
celebrate the glorious Fourth here
at home.
The Royal Neighbors had big
meeting last Friday evening and in
iitiated seyeral candidates. After the
meeting a fine lunch was served. The
lunch. however, would have been
much improved by the addition of
cream for the coffee, ETC.. had not
some person or persons unknown
stolen the commodity from the hall,
where the ladies had set it to keep
cool. The perpetrators of the deed
perhaps thought it was a good joke,
