terribly but the prospects are now
bright for recovery.
Charles Nygard of Houghton, s. D.,
who has been the guest Of G. A. Bugge
for the past week hunting ducks on
the hills, left for his home Wednes-
day. In many respects he considers
this country superior to South Dako-
ia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Wistrom of this
place and Will Wistrom of Flaxton
left Tuesday for the Twin iCties,
where they will purchase their sup
plies of holiday goods, visit friends
and enjoy we'll deserved vacation
from their business. The firm Of
Wistrom Bros. owns stores at Bur-

known for years as successful and
competent pharmacists.
e. B. Wallace is having deep well
dug to supply water at his residence.

gen Olson banks, left Tuesday on a
trip of inspection.
Mr.. Henry Bartling of Matteson, ILL.,,
is here for a few days while the
threshing is being done on his proper
ty north of town. Mr.. Eckmeier is
working the Bartling farm this sea-
son. Mr.. Bartling operates large
grain exchange in Matteson and only
comes up for occasional visits Of in
spection and to feel again the tonic
effect of the bracing air Of good old
North Dakota. He once lived at Mi
not for period of 2 years and has
many friends in these parts. He is
more than pleased with this years
crop here. He says the crops here
are much better than the farmers are
geeting on 5000 an acre land in I'LL
nois.
Einar Madsen of the C. A. Bugge
Co. has a new CARTS Ford.
Chas. Robinson of the Lloyd mine
started to drive to town Sunday
morning, having hitched up the mine
mule for that purpose. In passing an
auto the mule bucked and a bolt be-
corning loose released one side Of the
shafts and as the buggy cramped it
caught Mr.. Robinson's leg and broke
both bones just above the. ankle. He
was brought to surgeon and the
bones were placed in position and a
cast fitted to hold them in place, and
now Charlie gets about town on
crutches as readily as if his injury
had been last month instead of only
last Sunday.
Between closing time Sunday even
ing and the time for opening up the
store Monday morning burglars broke
into the Wistrom Bros. drug store at
this place and stole a number Of
watches and some six or eight dollars
in money. Entrance was effected
through the rear door. Evidently no
attempt was made to disturb other
articles of equal value, the burglars
simply took watches and money. For
tunately Mr.. Hurd, the clerk during
Mr.. Wistrom's absence, had placed the
money VI larger uCHOliAIdIAOA IA g
sack and secreted it in the back room.
This was not found by the marauders
and the clerk has reason for congrat-
ulating himself on his forethought.
Upon discovery Of the burglary the
sheriff's office was called up and Mr..
Kelly himself responded. It is be-
lieved that the burglary was commit
ted by some Of the idle men that
daily strike town searching for work
consequence that has ever occurred in
or loot. This is the first burglary Of
Burlington, 50 we are informed.
