Williston Roundup Sparks Local Social and Civic Happenings
Local notes report Major Murphy of Minot visiting last Saturday on a live stock deal while Major Scoby of Poplar Montana suffers a typhoid fever bout. Mrs. Mary Newell visits daughters, and George Braegger plans a two week stay at Alhambra Springs. A brief rain touched the area, and new bridge iron and materials arrive for Stony Creek project. Kingston and Pollock discuss Springbrook school, and Congregational Aid hosts a party for Mrs. Newell’s birthday.

Are the Entries Void
Land Commissioner Richards will examine conditions for lands in the abandoned Ft. Buford North Dakota reservation. Reports say desert land entries have been filed by stockmen grazing there for years, potentially barring legitimate homesteaders and clouding titles. Inquiry will probe good faith and could lead to void entries if filed for third parties.
