SENDS MEMENTo TO FRIENDS HERE

During the past week Rev. M. j.
O'Driscoll has favored a number Of
his former Langdon parishioners with
souvenir cards, which show on the
reverse side ST. Mary's church at
Grand Forks, which is now rapidly
nearing completion and has been built
through the efforts and under Father
IO'Driscoll's direction since his remov-
ing from Langdon to that city less
than couple of years ago. The edi-
fee is one that at completion will
represent an outlay of about $25, 900
and ornaments valuable corner
property on Belmont avenue. An
inset picture on the upper right hand
corner of the card shows Father
o. Driscoll, and judging by the pic
ture Grand Forks would appear to be
agreeing with him even better than
while he was with US here in Langdon.

NOW ITS MAYOR JOHN POWER

At the meeting of the city council
held Monday evening vote taken
named Alderman John j. Power to
fill out the unexpired term of Mayor
Mcintyre, whose removal from the
city causes vacancy which is thus
filled without the need of calling a
special election for the purpose. The
council decided on monthly appro-
priation of $25 for the running and
maintenance of the public ice rink,
in so doing they being guided by a
petition signed by large number of
the residents of the city. The appro-
priation will if necessary cover a
period of four months.

ATTORNEY CRIMSON GIVES
: HIS OPINION ON HERD LAW
Makes Clear Many Points Regard
ing Which the Present Law is
Somewhat Vague

To The Public -
On account of the many inquiries
received concerning the herd law, l
believe that brief abstract of the
law is necessary so that people will
know what the law is, and can then
govern themselves accordingly, to
avoid trouble.
The herd law changed in 1913,
when it was provided by the legisla-
ture that "It shall be lawful for cat
tie, horses, mules, swine, goats or
sheep to run at large at any time
Then there follows provision that
the board of county commissioners can
establish stock districts and can, if
petitioned by fourth of the cleo
tors of any such district asking in
such district stock be permitted to run
at large between certain dates, and
that the question be submitted to a
vote at the next general election,
open up such a district until the next
election, when the matter would have
to be voted upon and the result of the
vote would govern whether stock
would run at large thereafter or not.
In this county, however, the commits
sioners have taken no action what.
ever, and according to the law, no
stock now has any right to run at
large in Cavalier county, at the pres
ent time. Those wanting stock to run
should take up the matter with the
commissioners.
Our law further provides that if
stock is allowed to run at large anC
does damage, then the person suffer.
ing such damage may retain and keeE
in custody, such offending animals
until the damages so sustained and
the costs paid, or until sufficient
security is given for the same and {
way is provided to put up the security
with the justice Of the peace; prepides

GOV. HANNA STANDS ALONE

Governor Hanna appears to be
about the only official in the United
States blind enough to the RESPONSE
bility of public station to join Henry
Ford's project of impertinent peace
meddling. Every other governor ask
ed has declined to take a part in the
unlimited peace mission and the fede-
raj government has discouraged it.
Responsible persons in the educational
Institutions of the country have fol-
lowed the official example. The
expedition is apparently to be COM
posed of hysterical women and men
Of undisciplined sentiment, who like
to hear their own voices and read
their names in the papers. Gov
Hanna may find himself at home in
this company, but he will find nobody
else on the peace ship who represent
anything but his own variety. The
European powers should be officially
advised that Governor Hanna has no
more authority or responsibility than
the other missioners 1t was enough
for Bryan to propose strolling around
Europe to tell the nations how to
handle their affairs after he had left
the department of state without hav-
| ing Hanna undertake similar errand
with the great seal Of the state on
his unexpired commission. Minneapo-

were accompanied here by the brother
and sister of the groom, returned to

ing day. During their short stay

DRERDEN's P. M. GETS MARRIED

The Democrat has only been able
to obtain the merest skeleton of an
account of a wedding of no small
amount of interest to many of its
readers over the county, which occur
red Wednesday Of last week, Decem-
ber LIST, at Winnipeg, Man., when
Mr.. Geo. A. Williams, the popular p.
m. and merchant at Dresden, was
married to Miss Annie Smith, of
Druid, Sask.. the officiating minister
at the event being Rev. DR.. Sinclair,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Winnipeg. Mr.. and Mrs.
Williams left Winnipeg the day fol-
lowing their marriage, coming to
Dresden by way of Morden, Man. and
from there to Hoople, N. D., where
they spent few days in visit at
the home of brother of the bride,
when it may be taken for granted the
couple were accorded most cordial
and hearty welcome by Mr.. Williams
townspeople. The Democrat with a
host of others among the old timers of
this county feels that it can hardly
express in mere words the sincere
wishes for future happiness that il
would extend to both himself and
Mrs. Williams. i'-ssSssSEss'Sss''':.: '.:''ss'ss

Married in Lexington

Mr.. Joe Mountz and Miss Ger.
trude Vollmer essayed to put
one over" on their friends
Wednesday by slipping away to
Lexington on the noon train, and
getting married there. The news
however, leaked out, as such
things will, and the result was
that the young people were ac-
companied to the train by good
crowd of the younger folks, who
wished to see them safely off on
their journey.
The ceremony was performed
in Lexington at $50 at the home
Of Rev. o. j. Chandler, pastor of
