guage used.
i "Arrested" on High Seas.
/ Judge Grindland, J. johnson, R.
Given and J. l.. .Elwell were placed
under "arrest" on high seas for board
ing the wrong steamer in Canadian
waters. The "captain" of the ship
threatened to put them to sea in
row boat, but after some persuasion
on the part of Judge c. w. Stanton
he consented to give them a hearing
and trial.
! E. E. Mcdonald appeared for the
defendants and succeeded in proving
his clients innocent of crime upon
high seas.
The trial was mock affair and
afforded considerable amusement for
the crowd in as much as the defend
ants took the matter seriously.
! When it comes to looking after
cars on the road. "Ole" Ongstad is a
past master at this art: mo delays
on the road" was Ole's slogan, and
he surely made good. When Judge
Harris car became disabled Ole just
tied it on behind his new Dodge and
lowed it over the worst kind of roads
, for twenty miles. He went down
J steep banks, up steep grades, through
muskeg and sand and over hanging
bridges, and never faltered. He was
on the job all the time and the two
mechanics who assisted him were the
! best hustlers who ever tackled a re-
pair job of any kind.
! The "Red" ticket boys got Just as
much for their money as the Blue
ticket boys, only the variety was not
so great.
The judgment Of the committee in
charge with regard to certain mem
bers Of the party was objected to
quite strenuously, when it came to
sorting the "sheep" from the "goats. "
One individual declared that this was
the second time he was taken for
a preacher, the other time being at
, a funeral.
! There was a noticeable difference
! in riding on boat and in a car
over the ditch roads. The boat rid
ing was not so rough, but the "skid-
ding" effect was the same with some.
As "songster," Mr.. Cutting easily
carried off the honors, and as hosts
the two "Bills" from Baudette were
real "greenbanks."
The farmers at Four Towns know
what they want and know how to ask
for it, 50 that it will not be mis-
understood. Straight from the Shout
der and to the point, was their favor
lite method.
The hotel at Grygla sure put up a
fine chicken dinner at price long to
be remembered. The boys are still
wondering how it could be done.
Some of the boosters have learned
that bottle of "Near Beer" is better
than one far away.
Ginger ale "highballs" made with
real ginger ale are not hard to take
before or after meals.
"Mulligan" is a good dish, when
YOU can get plenty of it, and the boys
were not disappointed in this respect.
Hard surfaced roads are rotten,
when intermingled with soft spots.
The roads near Kelliher and in a
large portion Of William Lemons
district are fine, and the voters will
not make a mistake to re-elect him
this fall. He can show more results
, than any other commissioner and the
people have but to drive through the
! county to find this OUT.
at the Woodman hall was presided
over by Editor Mussey.
The speakers included Judge G. W.
