Master Hugh johnson was a
sad boy last Friday when an
auto ran over his pet dog
and killed it. It was seldom
the dog ventured from the house
but this day was warm and the
boys were playing in the road
when an auto went by. The dog
failed to see the machine In time
and both wheels passed over his
body. Poor Duke was buried
Sunday in the back yard under an
apple tree. He had many play
mates and all shed tears when
they heard of his death. :
In this weeks issue we publish
the names Of two new candidates,
Geo. P. Gibson and Perry G.
Vail. Mr.. Gibson will make the
run for reelection as he has
served only one term as county
judge. It is thought he will have
the field all to himself as he has
given good service and filled
the office in a satisfactory man
ner. Perry Wahl is a candi date
for the office of sheriff. He
has served as deputy since H. o.
Simon became sheriff. His many
official trips throughout the :.
county has given him the chance
to become we'll acquainted with
with the voters Of the county.
He is a Washburn young man as
he has spent all his life here.
He will no doubt get a good vote
at the primary election.
The Washburn Leader in last
weeks issue announced both the
candidacy Of Mr.. McCurdv and
the present incumbent, Mr.. Brek-
ken, and made the statement
that Mr.. McCurdy was not very
well known in Washburn. We do
not know upon what the opinion
is based but we presume it was
from the fact that Mr.. McCurdy
did not find it necessary to ask
the consent Of one Of those po-
litical gangs which the Leader
is always wailing about, for the
privilege Of becoming can
didate. But the fact that he is
not so well acquainted in Wash
burn should not worry the Wash
burn Leader for the people down
there who have not as yet made
his acquaintance will undoubted-
ly do so sometime during the
course Of the next two years

Mrs. Aug. T.. johnson acted as
hostess Tuesday evening to the
members of the Birthday club
and a few others. 1t was a
st. Patrick's day party. The
Irish color was conspicuous in
flags, drapings and hats through
out the rooms. 500 was played
at five tables. Mrs. A. s. Retain
made the high score and received
a beautiful. picture with a pretty
green frame. Mrs. O. F. McGray
was made happy with "Mike"
and Peggy" for being unable
to progress while the games were
played. At eleven o'clock the
guests went to the Washburn
hotel where they enjoyed a four
