divorce colonies were. They have been
in the barracks fir month and are
likely to remain It least two months
longer. The govlnment is working
up the evidence :gainst them. and it
is a tedious task. There are seventy
five in the outfit, aid much of the work
is Individual evid nee, and has to be
procured not only rom foreigners, but

Daxtardly Crime ON Passengers

a. j. Vandyke, Great Northern pas
Senger brakeman, was probably fatally
shot at Larimore, and three men, John
Smith Of st. Peter. Mimi; Harry S.
Sherman of West Superior. Wis, and
II. \. Brooks of Britton. $. D., are in
Jail. II is supposed that Sherman fired
the fatal shot. Sherman and Brooks
had been running a gambling house at
,Cando. They left there Sunday night
to escape arrest, driving to Devils
Lake. where they boarded the train for
the east. After getting Oh the cars, it
is said they became very disorderly
and abusive, stealing fruit and other
stuff from the news agent and refusing
to pay for it, The brakeman. Van
dyke, interfered, when they called him
all kinds of names, intermingled with
threats.
just as the train was pulling out of
the station more trouble arose, which
resulted in the shooting of Vandyke,
the bullet taking effect two inches
above the heart. VanGykc was taken
to Grand Forks. where he has wife
and daughter, the latter about nine
teen years old. Mr.. Vandyke has been
employed by the railroad for eight
years.

! CanAPEsr WATER AND GAS.

~ ~ ~, ...--.4.-- y ..s4s 49,
wonderful story Of Edgeley's Arte.
sian Well with Its Two-Fold Prop
critics.
For many years Edgeley. N. d., has
boosted one of the finest flowing arte-
sian wells in the state. The water
comes gushing out with high pressure
in a stream as large as Il mans arm.
The we'll is 1870 feet deep, and the wa
ter is too saline for domestic use.. A
beautiful lake has been made ut Il
small cost, which, in the winter time,
furnishes Il splendid skating rink for
the young people. The water has been
placed under control and Is piped
through the streets. affording a COM
plete system of water works, the most
cheaply Of any town in the country.
For many years it has been known
that the water was mixed with gas,
but no effort had been made to separ-
ate the two until this fall. C. J. Stun
geOl, druggist. has at last succeeded
in accomplishing this after many ex-
perilrents, and now secures for light
ing AID heating purposes in his store
and residence. The separation of the
gas is to be accomplished Gil a larger
scale, and the streets and residences
are to be lighted, and the business
houses all heated at Il minimum cost.
from the same source that furnishes
the town a free water works system.
The well is on the experimental farm.
under the control of the agricultural
college. lie officials have been watch
ing the tests with considerable interest
and will utilize the magnificent advant-
ages of the splendid well. There are
many flowing wells in the state. and
all have more or less gas but none in
such quantity as to have been thought
worth testing. The Edgeley discovery
may result in further Investigations,
which may prove profitable. A number
of the larger farms of the state are
equipped With such wells. and in the
future their farm houses may be light
ed and heated at the cost of putting III
gas pipes.

wish to appeal. This is regarded as
especially true of the cases III which Nc
appearances have been made, anti
which have been regarded ps weak by
the courts Of the Eastern states.
The construction Of the word "pesi-.'
dent" to mean ''domicfl" is settler.
If that decision had been made five
years ago there would never have
. been any necessity of amending the Ill
vorce law to require q twelve-months'
residence. The Fasteners would have
reformed the law themselves. or else
there would have been a large number
of real estate transfers to be recorded.
For years the applicants for DEGREES
merely stopped at tho hotels. making
the best effort possible to pass away
the ninety days. Many would take the
next train out of town after the de-
crees were signed, and no real effort
was even made to make bluff at es-
tablishing residence.
There are two cases-those of COrpO-
ration Counsel DE Witt of Brooklyn
and Lillian Blauvelt. the opera star
in which it is alleged neither even
spent two weeks in the state from the
beginning to the end of their cases.
One or two days at the beginning ana
shorter period at the wind-up were
all. Miss Blauvelt even went farther
than De Witt, as she spent the time i'll
which she was supposed to be residing
here in touring Europe.
Mrs. Graham, whose appeal was the
cause of the decision, is a large, stout
lady, who came to Wahpcton Nov. >,
