Wilkin County Gazette, 29: The
Campbell boys are. fine ball players,
naturally. They would give Wahpe
ton plenty of exercise if thev had
played more, but they are all busi
nessmen and farmers, and base ball
is aside issue with them.
One of Richland county's leading
farmers, John Ruddy, lias a law-suit
lodged again at the so-called Sioux
Falls Insurance company. Oct oner
25th of last year Mr. 15ndily lost 860
bushels of oats, 920 bnsiiels of alieat,
240 bushels »f barley, TO tons of hay,
and a fine, commodious barn well
furnished up, aggregating a loss of
nearly S2.000, from prairie fire, all

get justice out of the concern.
Argus, 80 Dr. Swaine, the very
handsome mayor of Wahpeton, the
accomplished executive head of
.Wolfe's Northwest Insurance Co.
left home yesterday morning on a
tour to the Black llills—a tour of
inspection and pleasure. As presi
dent of the territorial board of
health, the doctor will look after
the zymotics of that section, and as
a prohibitionist he will probably go
down to hot springs and partake of
the medical waters of Doc Stewart.
Hosts of friends in North Dakota
hope for the genial doctor a pleasant
journey and a good time. Should
his excellency, the mayor, stop over
at ltapid City, Jimmy Connella will
do him the honors on behalf of The
Argus, and Jack Simmons is hereby
authorized to challenge the doctor
to a game of sinche—with a right
smart chance of a show of
beaten—for that's one of the
"prime holts."
Monthly Meeting.
Richland County Democratic Club
regular meeting Saturday, August
6th, 1887, 8 p. m. at the courthouse.
A E. SUNDKIUIAUF, Sec'y.
Be Carel'ul How You Shoot.
For the information of inquiring
parties anxious to know the
present law regarding the slaughter
of game, the Tribune would say that
grouse and prairie chickens can only
be legally killed during the months
of September, October, November
and December. Geese, ducks,snipe,
curlew and plover can be legally
slaughtered only between the 1st of
September and the 15th of May. The
new law imposes a fine upon express
companies having in their possession
for transportation out of the terri
tory any of the above-named birds,
or the carcass of any deer, elk or
bniTalo. and the shipment of any
birds is limited to points within the
territory in quantities of not over
one dozen shipper to provide an
affidavit that they are not to bo sold,
giving name and address.—Kisinarck
Tribune.
Reports are numerous about tow::
that such or such a man has seen
such or such other men out shooting
chickens,already this season. A gen
tleman said to us that only a day or
two ago Breckinridge parties dis
covered two Wahpeton men shooting
chickens on that side, and started
for them, when the shootists hopped
into their buggy and drove away,
but that unfortunately for them they
each happened to drop a newspaper
with their names thereon, revealing
their identity. We did not learn
their names—or the names on the
newspapers. It may be that these
two fellows took the papers to be
dropped in case of emergency, mis
leading any one who might under
take an arrest—which, by the way,
would have been an exceedingly
reprehensible piece of business. In
any event it is bad enough, and is
enough to cause Breckinridge sports
men to shut down upon Wahpeton
entirely. We have no right to a bird
on that side of the river, and this
offence is uncalled for and inexcusa
ble, and the men perpetrating it—
whoever they are—should be heartily
ashamed of themselves. And the
men, whose names are used on the
quiet—but used as shooting on this
side of the river ought to
be arrested and fined. It is given
out positively that the birds are not
fit to kill, and it is a burning shame
that men, reputable citizens, or
those claiming to be such, would de
stroy birds and outrage the law in
any such way. If Wahpeton acted
white in the matter Breckinridge
might not, after the 15th, object to
our shooting a few birds over there,
and vice versa after the 1st of Sep
tember. The gun clubs on either
Bide of the river should have an un.
^derstanding and then abide by it,
&
see that everybody else did.
Who Broke Agreement,
When thfivseason opened the
Fergus boys started out with nine
hokuo men, but when they reached
Walipeton they found a profesionai
battery and wore taken into
camp to the tune of 26 to 1. They
met professionals at Fargo and
Grand Forks and lost every same.
The only way left for Fergus was to
do as the others had done. It. is in
poor taste for Wahpeton to lament
or kick.—| Fergus Journal.
The league agreement provided
for a "battery" from the outside.
This is all that Wahpeton has done
to this day. And then only im
ported a pitcher. Iler players are
home boys, except tho pitcher, and
we have a right to him under the
articles of agreement.
The Forks, Fargo and Fergus
made arrangements to play a series
of exhibition games, beginning at
Fargo, Monday between first two
named, Fargo winning 12 to 5.
Tuesday's game,ho wever,there broke
up in a row, the Forks leaving the
diamond. The league should have
had a regular umpire at'the begin
ning. with power to fine kick
ers. It was Fargo's fault that
such was not employed on our boys
trip there some days ago. Fargo
showed that at that time such was
not wanted by that club. And yet
Yorky tried to umpire the last
league game between these two
clubs, and giving poor satisfaction
refused to further act.

Haying on the Slieycnnc.
To tho Editor ol' The Times:
Knowing you to be ready to do
justice to each and every person,
whether rich or poor, I should like
to ask you and the readers of your
valuable paper, if apiece of railroad
land lay adjoining you and you
should take your mowing machine
and cut the hay on it, do you think
you would be committing a felony?
No, nor nobody else. But suppose
a man living away down in the
town of Barrie, by the name of Por
ter Smith, should come along and
tell you, after you get that hay cut
down and raked up, to "leave it
alone, for that hay belongs to me I
have all these sections leased, rail
road sections as well as school sec
tions." Yon don't listen to this
Porter Smith, for you know, as does
every school boy, that railroad land
can't be leased from the company,
for as soon as the company leases it
and derives one cent's worth of val
uation on it, they have to pay taxes
on it. You go on and haul the hay
and while you are hauling it this
Porter Smith goes down along the
Sheyenne till he comes to an old
bent over tree, about three inches in
diameter and about one or two
inches of moss growing all round it.
Smith puts a mouthpiece up to the
tree, and out pops a man by the
name of Morgan. Morgan remarks
on the appearing of his friend
Smith: "Ilere are the papers we
will take him in the name of the
territory, then there will be 810 for
hay, $10 for my charges, 810 tor-the
territory and 86 for witness and
constable fees." The constable
comes and arrests you with a terri
torial warrant, drags you up before
this man Morgan, who won't allow
you a lawyer, witnesses or change
of venue, but goes right on, hears a
little of the evidence on the plain
tiff 's side and books you up 836 and
tells you to pay or go to jail. Would
it not be proper to kick vigorously
and declare you would never pay a
cent? I did this. Then this Mor
gan makes out an appeal bond and
tells you tu get two good men to
sign it or he'll put you on bread and
Water for the next two hundred
years of your natural life, and when
you go to get men to sign your bond,
on examining it you find the appeal
bond calls for civil action, and you
had just been tried by the territory
for felony. How's that- for a Barrie
justice and what sort of justice do
you think such a man would be apt
to deal out to a man or upon a com
munity? ROXY.

WHAT
HURTS.—SELECTED.
Will you tell me the amount of
the enormous sums of money that
aboring men pay over the counters
of the saloons in this nation? Will
you figure up the dollars and cents
they yearly pay for tobacco? Will
you tell me how many homes these
two sums would buy for working
men No! no! no! It is not so
much the oppression of the rich.
It is not so much the grinding down
of soulless corporations that rob
labor of its rewards. It is the
course of the saloons. It is the
merciless' working of the law. "As
we sow so shall wo reap." It is the
terrible burdens of our own habits
that rob our wives and children of
bread and clothes and home. We
sow to the wind, and we reap to the
whirlwind. Taking advantage of
the desperation of the man whose
conscience is thundering at his heart
because of his habits that waste his
hard earned wages which should be
saved for home, and wife and chil
dren, the demagogue and communist
come to him and with plausible
words and hellish intent make him
believe that he is oppressed by capi
tal. and he should resist even to
murder, arson and riot. Hundreds
and thousands of laboring men
inarch through the streets of our
largo cities with banners, asking for
redress from the oppression of capi
tal, and at the same time seem not
to know what it is that is hurting

The August number of Godey's
Lady's Book is crowded with at
tractive reading matter. The edi
tor, Mrs. Crolv, leads off with an
admirable article on the "Coming
Woman Miss Marian Reeves fol
lows with another installment of
her interresting story, "In the Skirts
o' the Forest." There is a striking
story, "Jennie tho Circus Rider,"
by the English Translator of "Sa
laambo," M. French Sheldon, and
many other attractive features. The
fashion department is enlarged, and
always contains novel and interest
ing styles and the "Chat with Cor
respandetns," and a summary of
events under the head of "To-day

clever "talks" in House and Home

line of which is fresh and readable.

Fergus VH. Wahpeton.
The' game between Fergus and
Wahpeton Saturday was won by the
home team in a score of twelve to
nine. There was poor fielding on
both sides and a few wild throws,
but it was noticed that the home
boys played a more careful game
than has been the custom recently.
At moments when there was danger
of boys "breaking up" Favour held
the ball and in that way we doubt
not the game was secured.
It was noticed that Mr. Wheelock
of the Fergus Journal accompanied
the visitors on their trip, and we
read his several reports throughout
including the first one here with
much satisfaction, but in tho
last report in mention of this game
Mr. Wheelock must have been suf
fering from a sour stomach. He
charges the umpire with partiality,
which we submit the facts do not at
all bear out. The truth is much of the
time the home boys thought they
were occasionally roasted. Umpire
Gillitt understands the game pretty
well and he is an eminently fair
minded young man, and an impar
tial person or a person khowing Mr.
Gillitt would not, we think, for a
moment lay the charge of partiality
and dishonesty to him, in this sort
of thing. And then again, it is
wrong for the Journal to say that
at Monday's game no beis on Wah
peton could be secured and that on
Saturday every body wanted to bet,
implying that the umpire was to be
partial to Wahpeton. There were
bets both days, we think, however,
more Saturday than Monday, simply
because men thought that Wahpe
ton ought to have the game. We
think it is generally conceded that
the Wahpeton amateurs have lost
most of their games for the went of
a little judicious management at
critical moments, but it is hoped
that this want may in a measure
at least be supplied in the future.
