Bagaason is using and en- closed top on his sleigh for deliver- ing mail on Route No. 4. Henry Targerson of Leon trapped a large wolf near his place last week. —_— Ole O. Sovick, the well known farmer of Eddy, who also delights to take a good hunt, and trap during the cold seasons of the year, has al- ready captured three grey dogs, who inhabit our woods and prey upon sheep and other creatures which they can devour. But on Thursday of last week he struck the hardest job and longest travel he has made for some time, in order to get a trapped wolf, who had snapped the chain and made his getaway. Mr. Sovick, when going out to his traps on this morning, had only taken along a 22-calibre rifle with only one shell in his possesion. ‘The wolf proved wary and led him on for miles, never getting close enough to risk thie lone shot on him, al- though seen time again. After hours of chase through-deep snow and through heavy underbrush Mr. Wolf finally took refuge in a machine shed over at George Rossell’s place, where Mr. Sovick got next to him, where the 22 did the work. Our old friend, Martin H. Dustrud, formerly a resident of (Caledonia township, but now of Horace, N. D., remitting for another year for the Journal, writes: “Politics are great- ly mixed up here. A, C.Townley and his rubber stamps will soon be turned out. If nothing else will, the taxes this year will open the, eyes of the Deople, and it is high 'time ‘if they don’t want our state run into bank- ruptcy. These League leaders are the wogst kind of carpet baggers we ever hdd here. The taxes are over twice as much as last year. Greet- ings to you and other friends.”— Caledonia Jourpal.

Wedhesd y, December 10, was immediately adiourned upon meeting by Judge Wright. becauce it was claimed that Bagley was not in posi- tion to accommodate the jurors with rooms, because of the cold weather. This is very muech to be regretted, as it involves a considerable amount of expen<e to the tax-payers in the county to call court in session and call in jurors from all sections of the county and accomplish better than nothing. It appears rather out of Place to note that apparently no ef- fort was made beforehand to remedy this evil.

He was not at all like the ones you hear about. He was big and fat and I remember him when I was a little wee bit of a girl back in Virginia. He was Uncle John Connors and he used to take me in his lap and tell me stories while he lived in an awful shanty out West. He laughed when I asked him what he did with all his money, but one day he told me he was saving it all for me. “He used to tell me that some day I'd be queen of his gold mines. - I really never thought he meant it, but in' the last years he has heen writing to the folks back home and they to him, and I guess telling Uncle John what a hard time I've had with the children. b . “Now they tell me I have a fortune of $50,000, and that the children can WHEN THE & 5 Tk { At N making a selection for your busi- ‘ness stationery be sure that the BERKSHIRE TYPEWRITER | spend boost a good cause. be comfortable, go to school, have clothes they need and be happy.” e ————— be given, commencing at 8 o'clock p. m.
