The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1921-04-15

are known as Siberian Mud Hounds,
due to the fact that they live and
thrive where" mud is prevalent.
They are not intelligent animals,
on account of their environment
and living with the lowest Of all
animals, the snakes and other rep
tiles of the swamps. In North Da-
kota, on account of the absence Of
mud. due to the dry climate, the
names of these ours have been
changed. In Burke county we call
them Siberian SINUS Hounds"
e a. OUR ANSWER
We are not in a position to argue
with Mr.. Mahoney on this subject,
as our knowledge Of Siberia and its
hounds and skunks- is very limited.
He- seems to- know all about these
animals, probably from constant as
sociation with them, and we will
let his statements go undisputed.
In another column of his paper
he predicts that The Tribune will
in, a year from now be published
and mailed at .Woburn with E. J..
Marks as editor in chief. We are
not in a position to argue with him
about that either Where this pa
per will be published in a year from
now win depend entirely upon the
board OF directors. II we were to
make any predictions as to what
might happen in a year from now
we would predict that Mahoney
would be in Jail somewhere on ac-
count of his '.free love" habits.
!. Then again in still another place
Mahoneye accuses us Of "gypping"
the, farmers out OF $4,000 by
charging them that much more for
The Tribune plant than what it was
worth Mahoney is a good deal
like Editor Gee, the old fossil at
Powers Lake, who made the same
accusation eighteen months ago.
He doesn't know what The Tribune
.plantStis worth, nor what the farm
$ers paid for it, but is absolutely
sure that the farmers got gypped"'.
AS has always been the case II with
Ma honey he considers the farmers
of Burke county a Ii set of fools,
ready, to be X 'gyppedt at all times
by anyone. He is lying when he,
makes the above statement and
anyone who knows anything about
The Tribune deal knows that he is
lying. Long before any deal was
even talked Of the farmers en-
rloyed an. expert printer and ma
chfnery man to take an inventory
OF The Tribune plant. .]a The Trib-
sune editor did not even know what
ianIo unit this expert considered our
plan ntsworth, Later we We're made
an offer on the plant and building
and \ while we thought the fgdres
were not large enough and would
prefer to stay in business ourselves
than sell out at that price, we jfn-t
ally accepted, knowing that such
hounds as Il ahpneys5s y at Columbus,J 4
Gee at Powers Lake Vi and Hoyt sat
Portal had SO disgusted the farm
ers with their lying that It was ne-
cessary for the farmers to own. Il a
newspape Of their own they
wanted the truth u and unless we
sold to5 them, they would be- forced !.
tolSstart another neWspa per in Bow

it would be bett work with the
farmers than "a against Al them, and
consented to sell 81 own sflg-
