got about what was coming to him
when the Judge had an opportunity
to mete out justice.
AS President of the city commission
the Judge made good record. He ia
vored the installation Of the new paw
ing system and the White Way, which
are among the improvements made
during his administration. He went
after the gambling dens Of this city
and practically cleaned them out. A
number of pool halls were closed and
all rooms connected with them were
closed.
The Judge took prominent part in
the l. W. w. trouble last August and
did not lie down until the last disturb
er had shaken the dust of Minot from
his shoes.
The Independent is sorry to lose Mr..
and Mrs. Davis from our midst but we
are glad to know that they are To-
eating in a community where un-
bounded prosperity cannot help but
attend their efforts.

one way fare from here to Minaeap-
oils.

Of dollars into North Dakota. In ad-
dition it will use it's hundreds Of
agents who have been engaged in sell
ing cheap Wisconsin railroad land to
