B. F. Engledow and Glen Smith,
two we'll known residents of the Belle
view country, had a difficulty on Main
street, in front of the courthouse
Monday noon. Engledow hit Smith
on the head with a rock; the latter
whipped a knife out of his pocket
and started for Engledow who made
a quick run for the Jail residence.
Smith was in close pursuit but Engle-
dow got to the Jail a little ahead of
him and Mr.. Blue, ST., then kept the
combatants apart. Smith was in Iron
ton Tuesday and had a warrant issued
for E%ngledow, alleging felonious
wounding.
According to last weeks Bismarck
Gazette the Post Office Department
at Washington has ruled against
changing the anne of the Post-Ofice
from Bismarck to Loyal. Asst is snow,
Bismarck Post Office and Railroad
station are not at Bismarck at all, but
at Loyal. In other words when you
buy a railroad ticket to Bismarck, the
conductor puts you off at Loyal.
Your letters go TO Loyal even though
directed to Bismarck, and if directed
to Loyal they come come back to
you. Some mix-up! Tt reminds one
of the old song, eff You Want To Go
Tomorrow You Have Got to Start
To-day ."-Farmin gton News.
