So far this season fishermen
have met with very little sue

even in this popular bass lake

satisfactory. Nitnrods general

not open up this year until

Monday was an ideal circus
day, and it is estimated that
fully 5000 people witnessed
the Gollmar Bros. shows
here on that day. The big
top" was filled to more than
capacity for the afternoon per-
Torrance, a large number of
extra seats being provided in
side the ropes. The evening
performance was not 80 we'll
attended, but, all in all, accord
ing to the management of the
show. Bottineau lived up to
her past reputation of being
one of the very best towns on
Gollmar's northwesternc circuit.
The Gollmar show is somewhat
larger than two years ago when
it last visited Bottineau and
continues to give a good, clean
performance that always wins
for them the confidence of the
public.
Frank Peltier of Dunseith
was over on business Monday.
Mr.. Peltier carries his right
arm in a sling at present, hav-
ing recently undergone a very
delicate surgical operation at
st. Luke's hospital at ST.. Paul.
In the fall of 1912, Mr.. Peltier
had his right arm injured in a
threshing machine. An opera
ton was performed and the
wound appeared to be healing,
but gradually the hand became
weaker until finally several
fingers became numb and USE
less. Several physicians in
Minneapolis and St. Paul ex-
amined the arm but were un-
able to decide what to do, so
the matter was referred to DR..
Murphy, the celebrated Chicago
surgeon. He decided that the
nerves had been severed and
that an operation should be
performed, and gave specific
direction for performing it.
Accordingly, Mr.. Peltier was
called to St. Paul and the oper-
alton was performed by three
surgeons. The arm is now re-
gaining it's strength, but it will
take several months to recover
