rendering her much worse, but
it was not thought the lady

The new administration took
charge of the public affairs of
Wahpeton, Tuesday evening.
Mayor Lounsbury, Police Mag

of Police, Even Anderson Pa
trolmen, Frank McKc zie and

J. Hughes Chief Engineer,
Chas. Benesh Night Engineer,
Vensel Stovik. A good lot of
appointments and we presume
the affairs of the city will move
along nicely.
Leslie Purdon and Carl Rob
I ertson,youngsters,were playing
about a hole of water on one of
the water mains, yesterday,
when Leslie fell into the hole
containing three or four feet of
water, and would have been
drowned had not his youthful
companion pulled him out.
The boys are, properly seven
years old, and it is thought
rather remarkable of Carl that
he should have hauled L: slie
out, as he very probably did do
instead of becoming frightened
and run away for help—which
would have allowed the boy to
drown.
Chas. Hohman, the fifteen
year old son of August Hoh
man, Breckenridge, had the
misfortune to lose a foot by be
ing run over by a car, recently.
It seems that this boy and an
other one were sitting on the
track in the G. N. yards, near
where some men were doing
some switching of cars, and
before the boys realized their
danger a loose car came down
upon them, and youngHohman
'was unable to fully clear him
self from danger, and suffered
the loss of a foot, and the same
was amputated half way to the
knee. This is too bad and Mr.
and Mrs. Hohman and the un
fortunate boy have the sym
pathy of their many friends.

LEFT OUT IN THE COLD.
Been a Life-Long Bepublican and
Qets no Job.
I have voted the republican
ticket 21 years and have never
had a position under this party.
In the late city election I hoped
for better luck—so I could pay
my debts, but found it not and
promises shattered. Now I
notice a man appointed night
engineer who has no family,
and does not particularly need
the place and has money at
interest. When God called his
desciples together he neglected
nobody in blessings, but when
Mayor Lounsbury called his
big committee together they
leave out your humble servant
in the division of the loaves
and fishes. Good bye boys- till
next election. God bless you.
Yours sincerely,
GEO. MEDVED.
Peterson's Entertainers.
Extract from the Aberdeen
Daily News of April 5, 1900:
The Peterson High Class En
tertainers gave an entertain
ment at the opera house last
night to a packed house. Their
reputation was known in Aber
deen ahead of them and for
this reason the people turned
out and filled the opera house
and none were disappointed.
For a comedy and vaudeville
company it is the best seen in
Aberdeen in years. The enter
tainment is strictly clean and
refined and the audience is
kept in laughter from the be
ginning to the end of the per
formance. The company ap
pears again tonight and will
undoubtedly be greeted by a
packed house.
The company will appear at
the opera house Friday and
Saturday, April 20 and 21.
Special matinee Saturday at 2
o'clock. Get your seats early
at the Magnet. Prices 15, 25
and 35 cents.
Announcement.
I am a candidate for the office of
sheriff of Richland county, subject

Manager Doles says the city
ought to erect a band stand at
some convenient point where
people might assemble to hear
concerts at given periods. And
then it would be a proper thing
to provide means for seating
the members of the band. It
is somewhat tiresome to stand
upon the street during an even

manager's suggestion.

NO. 2,
SMART GAME WABDENS.
Make a Strike for Fees and are
Let Down.
Nels Oslund and Peter John
son had quite an experience at
Battle Lake a day or two this
week, having gone down to the
lake to do some spearing at
night. They caught some 900
pounds of pickerel. And had
gotten them to the depot and
were about retiring for a little
rest before the train arrived,
when they were placed under
arrest, charged with, violating
the fishing laws of Minnesota.
The gentlemen telegraphed for
a little money—having of
course taken none with them
and set up a fight in the justice
court, and knocked out the
Stupid Jay, Martin Anderson,
who had been instrumental in
having the game warden au
thorize the arrests.
To begin with the Minnesota
game and fish laws, allow the
catching of pickerel and suck
ers anyway seen fit and at any
time of year in that state.
The pickerel is very destructive
of all other kinds of fish and
the sucker consumes great
quantities of fish eggs, hencc
the law provides for the des
truction of these species of fish
in this way. But this "beef
head" thought he saw an op
portunity to gather in $20 in
fees and went after it,swearing
in court that he saw a pike
among the lot of fish, while as
a matter of fact there was not
a single fish otherthan pickerel
in the whole lot. And when
they could not lie Oslund and
Johnson out of fees, they tried
to wring in Illinois state law
on them. But the outfit were
completely knocked out as they
ought to have been, for the
Wahpeton gentlemen had in
no wise violated law.
The gentlemen have been
talking about prosecuting the
"jay" who caused the trouble
and lied to try to make his
outrage stick, but we are not
sure as to just what they will
do. They ought surely to make
the meat head sweat.
The whole lot of fish were
lost—spoiled, in fact, while the
Battle Lake "bull head" was
looking for unjust fees, which
he did not get.
