Bowers, of Fargo, was in the city last Friday on official business. Mr. Bowers has made a good officer in the position to which he has been twice appointed, and has discharged the duties of state game war den with as much efficiency as any man in the state possibly could haye tlone, and we know of no valid reason why he should not be retained but it is probable that some other worthy gentleman may reap the emoluments, of the office for the next two years, but, if there is a change, we'll bet a jack rabbit to a doughnut that the fellow will Qot enforce the game laws any more rigidly than George has. DAIN HAY TOOLS 'STANDARD Mowers and Rakes. BESTFITL& 3IATEKIAL, Williston, North Dakota WAP** «*&> Con. Williams, a "cow-boy" and would-be-tough, was arrested last Mon day afternoon for unlawfully discharging fire arms in the vicinity of the "Tender loin district". Williams had come over to Williston from the south side for the purpose ofspending Christmas, and im mediately upon his arrival proceeded to fill his hide with rot-gut and display his love of fun bv shooting into buildings. Deputy .Sheriff P. C. Clancy witnessed the firing of one or two shots, and at tempted to arrest the young man, but the fellow drew his gun on Pete and held him off. Pete walked away and pro cured a Winchester, ami when the brave cow-boy surmised what the officer was after he attempted to make his escape. Pete headed hitn off at the railroad crossing howeyer, and commanded him to halt and give up his gun, which the young man held on Pete most of the time. Seeing no other way to secure his man, Pete fired at him, the hall hitting some beer bottles in the fellow's pocket, and glancing struck the horse and passed through the animal's body. The fellow still refused to drop his guii, and Pete walked up close enough to rap him on the head, which knocked him helpless to the ground, when he got possession of the gun and took his man to the cooler. The horse belonged to Frank Poe, and a few persons think the officer was altogether too liasty iu his his action, but when you take into con sideration the reputation which Willis ton has acquired by these so-called "cow-boys" shooting up the town and raising hell generally when they get a little whisky in them, every law-abiding citizen will uphold the officer in what he did. Williston is now beyond the rowdy pftmt, and it is high time that every officer makes an effort to check the lawlessness which has heretofore cursed the town from this element. Wil liams is a young inan who appears IIB though he might make a good citizen if he would let whisky alone, but when he is under the influence of liquor he wants to imitate the old-tiine cow-boy by the indiscriminate use of a revolver. The matter was settled in court yesterday by the young man paying a fine and costs. Story Of Slave. To be bounil hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery.

The First National Bank of Williston bangs up a neat sign to the effect that they are protected by a policy in the Bankers Mutual Casualty Company. This refers to an insurance policy issued by the Company to the Bank, indemnifying it from loss that may be caused by a burglary or robbery of the bank, and secures the hank and its patrons from the danger of loss from that score. The Company issuing the policy pays the loss occasioned and in addition to this, money protection, the Company has an efficient detective service which is at once put on the track of a criminal who inteferes with any bank holding a policy in this company, and bringing the burg lar or robber to bay and trial regardless of the time or effort required. Punish ment is sure to overtake any persons who attacks the bank in the way of burglary or robbery.
