CAUGHT A SNEAK THIEF.

Will Torrins, a negro man was caught about S:30 o'clock Saturday morning, leaving Abe Heiliger's store, with a thirty pound box of tobacco, which he tried to sneak away with. He was loafing around the store and when he thought neither proprietor nor clerks would see him, he tried to decamp with valuable goods.
 Marshal Stephens was telephoned for but the negro got away before his arrival upon the scene and has not yet been located.
 Upon searching his premises, a large box of Dukes Mixture and a case of snuff were found under his bed, which he had doubtless secured in the same manner, as MT. Heiliger has been missing number of such articles lately.

SHOT IN SELF DEFENSE.

James Langston, an old and highly respected negro, who has lived in the Weldon community for many years shot and killed his son-in-l law, young blood named Mosely Saturday, for which he came to Newport Monday, surrendered himself to the authorities and in the event that an indictment is returned, will try to secure bond.
 Mosely, it seems from what can be learned, had repeatedly made threats against the life of his father-in- law and was considered bad character. He came from Neelyville, Mo-, and it is reported escaped there from officers of the law.
 He went to Langston's house Satur day and was threatening his life, when Langston secured a short gun and discharged it at Mosely, tearing a hole from his left side through his body, bringing instantaneous death.

UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT A
 WELL-KNOWN ARTIST.

While the work of Charles Dana Gibson is probably as well known as that of any modern illustrator, the artist himself has succeeded in mod estly keeping rather in the back ground. Now, however, his admirers will have a chance to learn all about him in an illustrated article by his in innate friend, James s. Metcalfe, the managing editor of 'Life," which will be published in forthcoming issue of The Ladies' Home Journal. This is the first time that the creator of "the Gibson girl'' and other famous types in current illustration has been de- scribed as he really is.

SLASHED WHEN ASSAULTED.
George Ross Uses His Knife Upon the Father of an Opponent Leaving Him in a Precarious
 Condition.

Tuckerman is much exercised over very serious cutting scrape that took place in that little city Thursday, in which W. $. Raines an elderly man living near Elgin was badly cut by a knife in the hands of a young fellow p years of age named George Ross of TuCkerman.
 The difficulty grew out of previous dispute that had taken place between Raines' son and this same Ross, in which the former was very badly treated and came out of with numer Ous scars.
 The two were taken before a magis- trate for this disturbance of the peace, and the trial had just been concluded when the elder Raines walked up to Ross, knocked him down with a few blows and continued his assault after he had fallen.
 Ross soon managed to draw knife from his pocket and began slashing Raines, cutting the leaders and bicep muscles of the right arm and deep gashes running down the back from the blade of the left shoulder.
 Dr. Tillman Slayton was called up on to dress the wounds of Raines, which are of very serious nature and place him in a precarious condi- tiOn.

Col. L. Minor is in receipt of copy of The New American, a twelve page paper printed at Manila, Philippine Islands, sent to him by his brother, who is a commissioned officer in the regular army. The publishers receive good advertising patronage and sell their daily at cents a copy, which should mean good times for them. All articles are heavily headed, even three line locals have several. The paper at a glance looks more like the St. Louis Chronicle than any other.
 DIM. Lee, F. E. Williams and John A. Bush returned to Hoxie Monday morning after spending several days here selling pearls found in the Black River. Wm. Mosby purchased one stone from them weighing only 28 grains but almost perfectly shaped at $325.

1t has long been known that North
Dakota contains valuable deposits of
clays, and for several years there has
been an increasing demand for better
knowledge concerning the value of these
claws for brickmaking, pottery, etc. Both
chemical analysis and practical tests
show that many of these clays are suit
able for the manufacture Of high grade
building and ornamental material, fire
brick. and even pottery and cement.
Each month there is IN increased num-
Der of samples sent in for analysis or
testing, many Of which we have had to
refuse for lack Of facilities for this work.
To satisfy the demand made upon the
survey to investigate these problems
and to promote the development of
these important resources, arrangements
have been completed in connection with
the federal survey, whereby practical
tests will now be made with all promis-
state.
If yon are interested in any deposits
of clay that may be Of economic value
and desire to have them tested. notify
the director of survey, and you vii! re-
ceiye full instructions for the securing
and shipping OF samples. which will be
tested during the winter without ex-
pense to the owner.
