Gets a Three Years. Sentence
to the Pe~nitentiary.
The Running Team Comes Back from
Fargo Laden Down With
Laurels.

Thursday afternoon the liquor cases
of the State VS.. John F. Tibbils and Asa
Fisher, and State VS.. William Ogle and
Thomas McGovern we're dismissed on
motion of the states attorney. Mr.. Allen
stated that the cases against the defend
ants we're not as strong as against Sven
son & Anderson, and he did not believe
that a conviction could be secured. The
cases were dismissed.
In the cases Of the State VS.. Frank
Little, Hugo Solberg and Luther Cakes,
the defendants withdrew the plea of not
guilty and pleaded guilty to assault.
These defendants we're charged with as.
sault upon W. j. Fraleigh with intent to
main.
Time for passing sentence was fixed to
the first day Of the next term Of court
in the cases Of Little and Cakes. This
was done SO that the defendants might
not be detained in jail during the busy
season, and they will in the meantime be
able to earn money with which to pay
their fines. Solberg, who had been ap-
parently led into the scrape by older
hands, was ordered sent to Jail for ten
days, and the time for beginning of the
sentence was suspended.
Benjamin 81. Freeze wa arraigned on
two charges of obtaining money under
false %pretences. Mr. Boucher appeared
for the defendant. The defendant was
given till June "a to plead.
H. E. Freeze, brother of the last named
defendant, was arraigned on a similar
charge and given till June "a to plead.
Sentence was passed in the case of the
State Va. VIM. H. Leonard. The defend
ant admitted that he passed some wolf
scalps wrongfully, but was not engaged
in it as a business. He did not consider
it an honest business; knew he was get
ting money out of the state treasury
without giving value received for it.
The matter was first brought to his at
tention by reading in a paper that GER
tain county officials in another state
would receive heads in a sack, pay the
bounty on them, hand them to some
friends again on the outside and they
would be brought in by those friends
and the bounty again paid. They we're
tried and nothing was done with them.
After reading this he became satisfied
that he could make some money by pass
ing scalps. He also read in the law that
the whole head vas required to get the
bounty.
The prisoner was then sentenced to
the ~penitentiary for three years.
Court then adjourned to Monday
morning, June "a, at 9 o'clock.

A special from Washington, under
date of June Is, says: Secretary La
mont, with Mrs. Lamont, will leave here
next week for a western trip. He will
be accompanied by Quartermaster Cen
eral Batchelder. Secretary Lamont may
extend his trip to the Pacific coast. The

The Milling Association.
Advices from Grand Forks say that
during the past week the North Dakota
Milling association has had in operation
but five mills, some of the plants being
closed to await the decision of Judge
Thomas, of the United States court, re-
garding the contest between the holders
of wheat storage tickets and warehouse
receipts. The eastern business of the
association has been practically elm
mated since the association went into
the hands of the receiver, there being
safer margins in orders from the Twin
cities west. At the present time, Presi-
dent Thompson is in Montana in the in
terest of the association and has sue.
ceeded in placing a number of large
orders for -four. Montana has always
been the best customer of the association
and its officers are guarding against any
possibility Of the trade from that section
dropping off. Manager Turner's making
a hard effort to effect q reorganization
Of the association and may succeed with
the aid Of New England capitalists.
Receiver Lyon is conducting the affairs
Of the association in a conservative and
safe manner, and will unquestionably be
able to make a good showing in his re.
port. The expenses have been cut to
tho minimum both in tho hoo1 ofI; nc

A Good Record.

States Attorney Allen has acquitted
himself very c%reditably in the prosecu-
ton of cases at the term of court just
closed. The amount of criminal bust
ness transacted was large, and the states
case, in each instance, was we'll pre-
pared, as the court records for the term
will show. In the Leonard case especi-
ally the evidence was so clearly and con-
~clusively presented that conviction was
certain, and the jury took but a few mo-
ments to decide a case Of great import
ance to the state. Mr.. Allen is to be con-
graduated upon the success which re-
suited from his efforts.
. To the PEN,
Mills Beech began upon his three
years sentence in the penitentiary last
night. He was taken out to the penl-
Tertiary at once upon receiving his sem
tence, and placed safely in the custody
of the authorities. He was the only one
of the five who we're sentenced, to be
taken out last night, and it is probable
that the condition of the man was such
that it was thought safer to have him in
the pen than to allow him to pass an
other night in Jail. Seldom has a prison
sentence appeared to break down the
nerve of the recipient to such an extent
as was Beech's yesterday. He trembled
as an aspen while awaiting sentence, and
when the %three-year term was pro-
nounced against him he broke down and
cried like a child. The man evidently
thought that his g might serve
to keep him out OF the %penitentiary
but in this he was mistaken. The ofense
concocted by HIM was of such a nature
as to render any considerable clemency
out of the question. And the punish
ment which has been melted out to those
who were concerned in the cowardly as
sault on Fraleigh, should serve to dis
courage such attempts in future.
Gilmore, Leonard, and the three ex.
convicts we're taken out to the pen today
and introduced to their new surround.
ings. Leonard can congratulate himself
that he escaped as lightly as he did, and
his conviction will discourage any future
attempts at such an industry as he in.
augurated. His wife was in the court
room yesterday, having come in from the
east, and heard his trial and sentence.

one would arrange a compromise.
Childl'en's DAy


The children's day exercises Sunday
at the Methodist church were q very
pleasing success. Notwithstanding the
rainy morning there was a good attend
ance of children who listened with the
closest attention to the children's sermon
by the pastor. In the evening the
weather was favorable and the church
was crowded, several being compelled to
stand during the exercises.
The beautiful program, "The Golden
Gate" was carried out to the great de-
light OF the audience. Six young pill
grims approached the guardian of the
gate seeking admission beyond its por.
tails. They represented Duty, Truth,
Life, Obedience, Humility and Self-Sur-
render. After satisfying herself concern,
ing the sincerity of the applicants they
were each furnished with a key, and
while singing the chorus of the closing
hymn the portals flew wide open and
the pilgrims marched through to sue
cess and happiness beyond. The six
pilgrims who acquitted themselves so
nicely we're the Misses Murl Waid, Min
ME Larson, Gertie and Nellie Gilber and
Masters Henry P. Lawry and Clark
Henders. The guardian who guarded
with ease and grace the golden gate was
Mrs. w. S. Casselman.
The younger portion Of the Sunday
school contributed their full share to the
success Of the evening in recitations and
songs. Governor Allin delivered an in.
teresting and appropriate address to the
young people. A collection of over SIC
was taken for the children's fluid which
assists by small loans over $500 needy
and worthy students every year in secur'
ing higher education in Methodist col.
leges. The decorations we're beautiful
and reflect great credit on the committee
and their assistants. Altogether the en-.
tertainment was a splendid success.

River improvements.

During the season eight diKes are to
be built along the Missouri at New
Haven extending from the bank into the
river from 200 to 800 feet says the Man
dan Pioneer. The dikes will consist of
two rows of piles, ten feet apart, con-
nected and braced together by timbers
bolted near thei1 tops. A brush mat
tress one foot thick and fifty feet wide,
weighted with rock, will be sunk on the
bottom of the river through which the
piles are driven to prevent the securing
out of the river bottom about the piles,
Cottonwood poles are then fastened
along the upper side of the bikes to
form a screen which causes the river to
drop it's sediment and build up new
land over the area covered by the bikes,
This government work is part of a
general plan for the r%ectifcation and
control of the river between Rock Ha.
ven and Fort Lincoln, the special object
OF the dikes now under way being to
stop the dangerous cutting of the bank
along the bottoms below town, and con-
fine the channel to the desired course.

The Firemen Back

The iremen of Bismarck who attended
the tournament, returned home Friday
morning, a little weary from the exer-
tons of the past few days, but proud of
their achievements. The boys have good
reason to feel satisfied with their record.
For three successive years they have
won the association hose race, and now
they are entitled to permanent posses
sion Of the handsome Yerkes medal. The
association hose race is the leading fea-
ture of the tournament each year. It is,
in fact, the best practical test of the
abilities of a fire fighting company. It
consists of a run of 200 yards, the at
taching of a hose to a hydrant at the
end of the first half, and the breaking
of a coupling and attaching of a nozzle
at the end of the distance. The Bis
marcks made the race yesterday IN % 2-5
seconds, and the Wahpetons in 20 3-5,
and the Bismarck running team are now
lawfully entitled to be called the cham
pions of North Dakota.
The wet test Was another race which
fell to the Bismarcks yesterday. The
Tower City boys corralled the hook and
ladder race. Rice, of Wahpeton, took
the ladder-climbing contest. Wahpeton
o the hub and hub, and altogether
the prizes were pretty evenly divided.
Next year the tournament will be held
at jamestown.

Some Early Hail.

Reports from the hail storm in the
western part Of the state last week show
it to have been much more severe than
was thought at first. At Abercrombie,
in Richland county. It was the worst
storm ever known. Hail to the depth of
six inches fell. Holes big enough for a
man to put his fist in honeycombed the
ground. The center Of the storm was
only about half a mile wide. A number
of farmers had their entire acreage Of
grain pounded out of existence. Andrew
Sandal saved his life by kneeling and
sticking his head under his body. His
head was cut in numerous places, and
about fifty bruises were made on his
back. Local farmers are taking out hail
insurance, and will be prepared, should
the hail repeat it's capers on the slope.

A Desirable Improvement.

ing this afternoon to consider the pur.
chase of a piece of property, whose pos
session will greatly improve and add to
in both appearance and convenience, the
value of the court house. The court
house, as is we'll known, is located about
the middle of the block, and in front of
it is a row of sheds, and residences
which obstruct the view, detract from
the appearance of the place, and prevent
the construction of a driveway from the
street directly in to the front of the
building, the only approach to the place
now being a rather awkward one at the
side. The commissioners have been in
consultation with the owners of the
property in front of the court house, and
have about consummated a deal for the
purchase of the 100 feet of property
directly in front of the court house
building, and fronting the street. If the
deal is completed, the buildings and
sheds will be removed from the prop.
erty' and a driveway constructed in tc
the front OF the place. This will add
greatly to the appearance of the place
and will be in every way a desirable i'm.
provement.

about seventy horses in delivering it to
different customers. Some of the brew
cries are the most completely equipped

Cactus Commission.

The executive relief board has begun
upon its work in the way of eradicating
Russian cactus by the issuance of a PAM
phlet, containing rules and regulations
for the determination of the pest. The
pamphlet embodies the law on the sub.
ject, in a few clear and concise rules.
which provide that any resident of the
state may make complaint to the CON-
missioners of his district as to the pres.
ence of cactus, and they may direct the
owner of the infested peace to begin
work upon the determination of tie
weed within ten days, and if this work is
not begun, the commissioners may have
it done and assess the costs against the
property. Railroad companies, also may
be forced to clear their r1ght-of-way
The work is not to be begun earlier
than August l. Dead thistles must be
gathered and burned. They may be
plowed under, or cut down close to the
ground. The concerted action of al
residents of the state will serve to Kill
off the thistles.
