1t was a beautiful Sunday morning
and JoCk-O was waiting for his usua;
walk. His young master came down

little pat on the head. then said
firmly:

Jock-O certainly felt that emotion. He

turned slowly and walked UP the

THAT FIGHT
WAS A FAKE

Regarding the fight which took
place at Lewiston Sugar Factory be-
tween Richmond man and Lewis
ton young boy, think the Lewiston
Editor was little mistaken. Hav-
ing knowledge of the affair, will
say that the Richmond man was 76
years old and the Lewiston Young
boy was 81 years of age. Had the
Lewiston young boy accepted a fair
tare with the rest of the beet men,
instead of wishing to display his
pugilistic ability, as he did on an old
man, there would have been no fight.

HYDE PARK NEWS

Hyde Park, Nov. 22.-Now that
the election is over and beetdigging
about finished. we have at least
time to breathe freely and we have
settled down to the stern realities of
life. The cold frosty weather of the
last few weeks has Tot been very
welcome to the farmers here. There
are quite a number of acres of beets
still in the ground and will have to
stay there until We get rain or
warmer weather. There has been
very little fall blowing done. Hay
is about as scarce as hens teeth, and
straw is hard thing to buy. About
fifty tons of beet pulp is comming
in to our town daily. There are
several thousands tons of beets pill
ed down at the o. S. l.. and two
large piles at Tangent spur just
south of town. The Amalgamated
Sugar Company is installing two
large steel beet dumps to load the
beets upon the cars. one at Tangent
and one at Greenville siding, where
there is a pile of 1890 tons. so there
will be work for quite number OF
men for some time yet.

day about five p. m. and was un-
