LOGAN MURMURS.

Wednesday, October 20, Cupid whis-

history of lad and lass Logan
knows, respects and hopes will follow
a trail through life's vagaries, blessed
with true happiness and the sunshine
of perfect contentment. The groom to
be is trihe bashful, hence merely
yelled reference.
Jack Brady of the Minnekota ele-
vator is truly busy man. From
dawn till dark team after team dumps
wheat Of Logan quality, and only an
occasional respite for slumber is per-
mitted him. But the engine resents
the idea of perpetual motion, and in
ordinary mood, refused entirely to
act. Jack wrestled till a. m. with a
patience that rivalled the proverbial
Jobs and on the first streak of dawn
sneaked DER the horizon. A CHEEKY
smile suggested that j. B. was ready
to resume business. And he did.
The First State Bank of Logan is
ready to do business as soon as the
necessary official examination has
been made. Mr.. John Gunderson as
cashier, will represent the new insti-
tuition.
Threshing in this vicinity proceeds
apace and despite the denials, some
times attempted, Logan as a market
ing centre stands preen1inent. The
Farmers Elevator, under the able
management Of the genial H. c. Kuch-
enbecker, alone has handled more
grain than the villages east or west
of us, and the end is not yet. Bur-
lington has exercised a wondrous pa
tience, and we hope may ultimately
enjoy the distinction Of being we'll

said, charity suggests silence.
Mr.. Packard of N. Prairie has de.
cided to dispose Of his farm stock and
machinery and announces in this issue
sale to be held on Tuesday, Oct. 26:
Make note of this date, for good
mich cows are still few and far be-
tween. Mr.. Packard and his good
lady have earned a widespread repu-
tation for dairy products, during the
many years they have farmed in this
vicinity and are justly proud of the
quality of the stock.
Dad Bean and Russell Gard were on
Monday engaged securing the requi-
site number Of signatures to obtain a
rural route from Logan. There is now
every prospect of such being estab-
lished in the near future.
The directors of the Logan Hall as
ISOLATION have secured two lots on
Main street for the proposed building
We understand that this is to be 3Ox60
feet with maple floor, and all modern
improvements, to ensure the comfort
and convenience of patrons. Arrange.
ments are to be made in the course Of
few days for the foundation work
and it is expected that Logan will
judging from the support already
promised, enjoy the benefits of hall

pleased to furnish full particulars to
all interested.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Kuchenbecker

Bowman County Squabble Ended.

Edw. P. Totten, who defeated Fris-
by E. Diehl in the race for the
county judgeship of Bowman county
has been declared disqualified by the
Supreme court, and Frisby E. Diehl
county Judge Of Bowman county, has
been sustained in his contention that
Edward P. Totten, his opponent in the
last election, is disqualified because o.
the fact Of his having made pre-elec-
ton promises to return to the county
a portion of his salary in the event of
his election to the Office of county
judge. The Supreme court held that
such promise made prior to election
disqualified Totten under the provis-
ions Of the corrupt practices act.

Messrs. Jno. and Frank Bolden, pros
porous Logan farmers, recently pur-
chased Waterloo Boy engine and
Red River separator, and will thresh
their bumper crops whatsoever they
owned will help materially to solve
the labor problem. Dad Bean, whose
experience covers many years in many
states, will handle the separator.
Frank Teets sold his threshing out
fit during the week to the Potentate
of Sawyer. A good rig, for Sawyer
crops, but hardly the size to cope with
Logan yields.
Mesdames Kuchenbecker, Howard
and Bergeson were enjoying the many
attractions Minot affords, last Mon
day evening.
Logan is to be represented at the
Better Baby contest and the result is
accordingly a foregone conclusion.
AS individuals the truth is not al
ways relished AS a community, we
are easily annoyed by plain deliber-
late recital of actual fact. The minis
ter who emphasized Burlington's sor-
ry condition, is to be commended for
telling publicly what is common
knowledge.
Sawyer, sinking slowly into sad OBJ
livion, sought Sunny Jim's aid, that
they might enjoy yet another brief
spasm Of attention, from their neigh
bors. Reference at length is sub
mitted to prove that real live mer-
chant is there located. Ralph Gard
became live wire as result of ex-
perience in a live store at Logan, and
after securing the entire trade of the
sad village, to accommodate these pat
rons, opened an establishment to save
them long drive. AS they are now
migrating to the Garden of Eden, we
expect to see Ralph again taking an
active part in Logan business circles.

derstand, resident of the vicinity he
endeavors to boost This suggests a
faith in its future possibilities.

RATHBORN RETURNS TO
NORTH SToNTNGTON
Pardoned Prisoner Is Again Free Man
Mother Living Yet.

Charles I. Rathborn. Tuesday left
the state prison at Wethersield a free
man He was taken there % years ago
to serve a life sentence for the muir
der of the man who came between him
and his wife. For nearly a quarter of
a century Rathborn had breathed only
prison air and had seen the world
only between the white iron bars of
cells. On Monday the board of par
dons pardoned him. Tuesday he went
the prison, who put him on a train
for North Stonington, where his aged
mother, Sc years old, awaited him.
Joseph Stout, also pardoned, left
at the same time. Mr.. Fay Tuesday
brought him to Hartford and put him
on train for New York, where he,
too, has an old mother who is in her
eighties, waiting for him. He had
been in prison twelve years. He was
convicted of murder in the second de-
gree in 1908, at Bridgeport, and SEN
fenced to prison for life.
However each may have felt, neither
of the men betrayed, by any external
signs, that he was not an ordinary
citizen accustomed to breathing the
free aid. They expressed some pleas
ure in a. quiet way when they got into
the automobile. for neither of them
had ever been in one before. Rath-
born looked down at his citizens
clothes with evident surprise and en-
joyment.
like a dream"
He admitted that he felt a little
strange at leaving the prison, and a
little sorry, curiously enough. It was
the only home he has had since he
was a young man.

The Clifford will not winter in Hud-

will take up a quantity of supplies

is now established in the bay for Mr.
MonjO, and will bring him back what
furs have been collected by Cleveland
during the two years he has been in
the bay. Last winter a letter was
received by Mr.. Monjo that Cleveland

will send up on the Clifford another
man who will open a trading station

Monument house, and George o.

fashioned weaving loom upon which
rag rugs may be made, has been add
ed to the collection of interesting relics

Owen Miner, who was grandfather Of
George Miner of Groton borough. The
services of Mrs. J. E Lester. who is
an adept in weaving rag rugs, have
been enlisted, and Monday the loom
was strung. A portion of a rug will
be woven and left on the machine, that
visitors may see how the work is
done.
Miss Randall has also succeeded in
securing a spinning wheel which will
run. A number Of beautiful examples
of that old article are on exhibition
but none are in running order Miss
Randall has succeeded in having
broken portion Of one of them replaced
and visitors may soon take a hand at
spinning, as well as weaving.
