Who this suc cessor will be is a matter of conjecture. The next few day* will determine it. Little Ursula Simonitsch had a close call to a very seri ous accideut this week. Her father was removing the bank ing from the house and she came up behind him and as he turned and .swung out the fork the tines struck her full in the face but fortunately the girl only received a few slight scratches. Postoffice Inspector Mullen, of St. Paul, came up the latter part of last week and while here collected a fine of $10 from Max Garske for sending first class mail under third-class postage. Some time ago Max mailed a parcel of tobacco tags to St. Louis and enclosed a let ter. The package was inspect ed at the St. Louis postoffice and the matter turned over to the inspector. It, of courseV was an oversight on the part of Garske but a fine follows every violation that is detected. Walcott Reporter. Peder and Mrs. Bolme were tendered a pleasant party by their numerous friends and neighbors, Sunday, the occa sion being the 25th anniver sary of their marriage. They were given many valuable pieces of silverware as a token of remembrance of the happy event, Knut Flaa making the re at on N speeches were made by promi nent men present. Over two hundred friends and neighbors were present to show their re spect to this worthy couple. Mr. and Mrs. Bolme have been residents of this and Eagle townships for twenty-one years and are held in high esteem by their legion of friends. Wyndmere Pioneer. B. Hatcher, of Wahpeton, made a business call at the Pioneer office Sunday evening. Mr. Hatcher has been foreman at the Gazette office the past two years. The Tri-county ditch Ran som, Sargent and Richland, was begun yesterday. This ditch will be thirteen miles long, will be conducted into Star lake from the west, and run from the lake into Elk Creek. The dredging is under the management of Editor Knotts of the Wahpeton Times. It is with regret that the Pioneer loses its editor of the last three months. During the time Mr. Larkins has been with our paper he has worked faithfully and efficiently, both for the advancement of the Pioneer, and for the welfare of the village of Wyndmere. He has been called to an impor tant position with the North western Mutual Fire Insurance Company, of Fargo. The financial remuneration is far beyond the pay of newspaper men. Hankinson News. Potatoes sold for a dollar a bushel in Hankinson yester day. As a market for all kinds of live stock and farm produce Hankinson leads all the towns in this corner of the state. It is the good fortune of but few couples to celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary, but such an event was quietly observed by Mr. and Mrs. Ed ward Kriesel at their home in this village on Sunday last. Five out of six surviving chil dren were present and the occa sion was thoroughly enjoyed by all, including the few fortu nate neighbors who had been invited. One daughter, Mrs. Lizzie McNeish and husband, came clear from Vancouver, B. C., to attend the wedding, and the other children present were: Wm. Kriesel, of Havana, Mrs. Julius Hoeft, of Brandenburg, and Misges Polley and Emma Kriesel, of Hankinson. There are a large number of grand children and three great grand children living. Sneak thieves effected an en trance] into the home of E. L. Kinney Thursday night and carried off a ladle's costly fur jacket and other articles of less value. The robbery was a dar ing one as the thieves secured most of their booty in the bed chamber where Mr. and Mrs. Kinney were sleeping. There is no clue to the thieves. It is supposed a skeleton key was used in effecting an entrance to the house. The robberp went at once to the room oc cupied by Mr. and Mrs. Kinney and secured about five dollars in coin from Mr. Kinney's trousers' pockets. A valuable plucked otter jacket belonging to Mrs. Kinney, valued at not less ^taan $200, was taken, also a cloth overcoat worth not over $10—and a valuable fur over coat hanging on the same rack was left undisturbed. A jewel case on the dresser was taken out doors and the contents ex amined, but it was found intact with the contents undisturbed on the front steps of the house in the morning. This is one of the most peculiar features of the robbery as the case con tained four or five watches, one valued at $125, and other jew elery that would have made it a rich haul. Just why the rob bers left the case after getting it safely out of doors is a mystery. Dr. Spottswood's house was entered the same night but the men were fright ened away by the arrival of members of the family about 2 o'clock in the morning Mr. Kinney offers a reward of $25 for the return of the jacket taken from his place.

There is a local union of the American Society of Equity in this section which needs an awakening. Its members note with pleasure that in your last issue some reference was made to the head organization. Many of our county papers seem not to have heard of the A. S. E. whose object is to obtain equit able prices for the produce the farmers have to sell. Seeding in this township is now well on. The people are now busily engaged in plant ing corn and flax and the acre age alloted to barley is the greatest in the history of the township. Many farmers in this locality have taken stock in the Fiarmers' Terminal Ele vator which is to be built in Hankinson this summer. This would seem to be a good in vestment and those who join this organization will certainly reap a benefit therefrom. WAHPETON, RICHLAND 00., NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1907.

The Wahpeton Juniors play ed their opening game of base ball for the season of 1907 last Saturday afternoon with .the Fairmount Juniors, defeating them by a score of 28 to 2. Although the day wasn't the kind that rooters rave over there was a passable crowd present to see Youngquist up hold the promise, which the few games he pitched last year gave, of an adept in the art of manipulating crooked ways for the elusive little sphere and hold the Fairmount boys down to two runs, striking six men out and passing one to the first bag on balls, umpire Wallace Mordon counting them out in the one, two, three order for seven innings when the Fair mount boys decided that the day was lost and gave up. The team work of the two nines was excellent as a whole and although there were num erous errors made on both sides, those of the Wahpeton boys were made at opportune moments letting but two runs over the plate. Fairmount was less lucky and 28 scores were made, much to the delight of the home 'Rah 'Rahs. Allen did the twirling for Fairmount and Oliver and Hurley held down the little square place behind the home plate. The Juniors played and won eight games during the season of 1906 and the hot pace they have set for '07 bids fair to put them in the lead among High School teams. Dr. Ness made a trip to Far go Monday evening. "V
