Observance of this e’en should be abolished by legislative en- actment, and the penalty for violation of the law should be whatever an out- raged and injured citizen might feel hike administering, from bird shot to a bull dog.

He soon recovered, however, upon reading the business letter heading of the concern which revealed the fact that his customers were not the illustrious statesmen of Minnesota and Nebraska. They are business men of Two Harbors. The Cass Lake football team played their first game of the season at Grand Rapids last Sunday and made a very creditable showing, considering it was their first “scrimmage” and their only practice was signal work. The game resultgd in a victory for the Rapids boys by a score of 16 to o. The Grand Rapids eleven comes here some time in November when the locals will try and redeem themselves. — Cass Lake Times. The Independent is evidently get- ting in pretty hard lines when it will accept fake patent medicine advertis- tising in which the names of Grand Rapids citizens are used in connection with alleged testimonials as to the ‘great merits” of the dope. The name of a Grand Rapids lady was used in this connection last week and naturally she was quite indignant. As a matter of fact she has never bought or used a particle of the concoction in her life. F. P. Sheldon of Minneapolis, president of the First National bank of this city, arrived here yesterday after- noon and left on the evening train for Kelliher to look after his interests in the banks at that place.

Next Saturday afternoon the Grand Rapids High School second foot ball team will go over to Cole- raine and enter the arena for su- premacy over the model town. Coleraine is said to have a pretty swift team and it should be an in- teresting game. Last Saturday afternoon the Hib- bing High school team arrived on the 12:45 passenger and between trains pulled off a game with the local Highs that resulted in 10 to 5 in favor of Grand Rapids. It wasa spirited game throughout, and was well played on both sides. hy DEFECTIVE PAGE a \ The bad rainy weather does not stop the hustling people of Cohasset.

Victor L. Powers, one of the promoters says they will bring action to compel the commissioners to grant the appli- cation. Aside from the allowance of a number of bills left over from the last two meetings, and the con- sideration of some road matters no other business was taken up. After Fifty-Two Years. Mr. Daniel Neveux of Fort Benton Montana, a brother of “Uncle Tom” and Joseph Neveux of this place, ar- rived here last Thursday and gave the latter two a pleasant surprise as it had been fifty-two years since they last saw him. The meeting of each other was a very pleasant one for them and they are spending pleasant days calling to memory happenings ia their boyhood days at home, and of their journey through life up to the present time. Mr, Neveux has a valuable ranch in Montana but last Spring misfortune overtook him by the overflowing of the Teton river which fluoded his neighborhood and the water carried away buildings, crops, machinery and stock from his place leaving the premises bare. This however did not discourage, Mr. Neveux and he now has new building erected and has his family very com- fortable settled again. — Big Fork Settler. Wood for Sale.

Olin and Mrs. Kingston of Grand Rapids, Minn., aged 59 and 61 years old, we believe hold the record for pedestrian ability of ladies of their age. One day last week the two decided that they would like to visit Coleraine and Bovey friends and feeling as young as girls, and in the spirit of their generation they didn’t wait for the chuchu wagon or Hurley’s stage line but off they started to walk the distance. It is a good eight miles from Grand Rapids to Coleraine, but they arrived just as fresh as when they started. Both Mrs. Olin and Mrs. Kingston are fine old ladies and are so young in their spirit that they chum with all the young people they know. May they always keep young is the Iron News’ wish.—Bovey Iron News. A Wolf Story. The Aitkin Independent relates this bit of news: ‘While on a timber estimating cruise in 140-25, Cass county, on Friday night of last week, Martin Watson and Fred Blair spent a few uncomfortable hours, their camp being surrounded by a pack of 25 wolves who made the night hideous with their howling and snarling. Both men were unarmed, and it was only through keeping up a brisk fire that the wolves where kept at bay, slink- ing off into the woods with the ap- proach of day. In the township im- mediately to the north of this locality a day or two later, Wm. Carroll, a camp watchman, found the carcasses of two wolves which had been gored and trampled, evidently in a combat with a moose.” Sandretzky-Wilson. The Herald-Review is a little late in publishing the following interest- ing news, but the fault is wholly chargeable to the groom, who neglect- ed, for some reason, to send an an- nouncement card to the society editor hereof. In any event, it is not too Jate to extend our hearty congratula- tion. We clip the following from the Waseca Journal-Radical uf October 7: “The marriage «of Miss Lola San- dretzky and John Wilson of Grand Rapids this state, was solomnized Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 29, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.

E. church, performed the ceremony. “The bride is a charming young lady of this city and bas hosts of friends in this place. She grew to young womanhood here and attended our city schools for a number of years.
