Til said that Attorney General Cowan,
who is defending the Indians, at Devils
Lake, was rather amused at the verdict
in SHORTS case. The verdict was, "We,

no overt act"
Notwithstanding the state bounty and
idle eastern capital, the erection of a po-
tato starch factory in jamestown is likely
to fall through, says the Alert. It can

of potato starch in North Dakota will be
commenced if the manufacturer has to

warrant that forenoon and Sheriff Nc
Gauvran wired Park River and had tie
men arrested. They we're tried and
sentenced to five days each in the county

The Devils Lake Chautauqua season
has closed after a very successful meet
ing. The attendance was considerably
larger than during previous years, and
would have been a great deal larger but
for the fact that for about half of the
time the weather was cold and rainy.
