CAUGHT HIS WIFE.

Fargo. Jul 29.-Mrs. Bretzke. wife
of Herman Bretzke, a farmer of Bal
four, was arrested at Casselton Monday
evening. by Deputy Sheriff Ross, on
warrant charging adultery. sworn to
by her husband. The latter and an
attorney were in Fargo Monday look
ing for the wife, who is alleged to have
married a young man from Minnesota
named Way. The mother of Way sus-
pected something was wrong and wrote
to Bretzke asking if !. Miss Bretzke'''
was single. The letter of inquiry
supplied the clue as to the derelict
wife's Whereabouts. The matter will
be investigated before Justice Hanson
tomorrow morning at 8 O'clock. Way
seems to be perfectly innocent and
claims to have married the woman in
good faith, believing her to have been
single. 1T is claimed that Bretzke
wants his wife to go back home and
care for the children.

THE VALLEY STORM SWEPT.
Terrible Storm Sweeps Over the Red
River Valley Section and Does
Much Damage.
Hail Destroys Much of the Crop in
Walsh County and Part of
Cavalier.
Grain For Thirty Miles West of Fargo
on the N. P. Flattened Down
a.s., by Wind.

Fargo, July 29.-One of the most
general rain, wind, hail and electrical
storms Of the season swept over nearly
the entire Red River valley last night,
doing great damage in many places
There was immense damage to the
crops by hail near Pisek, Langdon,
Park River and Edinburg, and it is
supposed many other sections were
struck, but telephone and telegraph
wires were down and it is impossible
to get details.
The Great Northern east bound pas
senger. train No. s was held for an
hour at Lakota on account of the ter
rife wind that prevailed, which was
one of the worst ever experienced at
that place, doing immense damage.
Many ether towns were struck by
wind, buildings being blown down gen
orally in the path of the storm.
The crops were all badly damaged
'by the terrific downpour of rain and the
high wind where no hail fell, and the
total loss will be immense
At Bowsmont the large barn on the
Wagner and Andrews farm, operated
by Robert Denly, was struck by light
ming. One horse was killed, the barn
and machinery, totally destroyed, the
house being saved with difficulty.
Scores of such disasters are expected
as soon as communication is opened
again.
| The storm was the worst and the
most general of the season, and the
total loss sustained by buildings and
crops destroyed will total an immense
sum.
JAMESTOWN ACCOUNT.
The Jamestown Capital says: The
entire Red River valley was visited by
very severe wind and rain storm late
last night and enormous damage done
to crops-if reports are true. Fields
of grain that stood four feet high were
blown fiat to the ground as if a roller
had passed over them, and this morn
ing they looked as if it would not pay
to put binder in them.
Judge Rose returned today from
Fargo and he said as far west as
Wheatland, p miles west of Fargo, the
grain was fiattened close to the ground.
The storm seemed to come from the
west except at Wheatland where the
grain was all blown to the south. In
some places it was twisted in punches
as if by cyclone. But west of there
lie says the crop prospects is better
than he ever before saw it.
The storm extended throughout the
valley. north to Grand Forks Wires
are down and the extent of the dam
age-confned largely to crops-is be-
lieved to be very large.
Edwards. Wood & Co. report that
their Larimore Office was burned out
by lightning and they have no wire
north of Fargo. Grand Forks reports
wires down. also.
Considerable hail fell in the vicinity
of Cooperstown and it is said the big
farm of E. G. Cooper is among those
devastated. ~Casselton also caught
much hail.
At Lakota 21.000 acres of grain were
hailed out and much more partially
destroyed. The path of the storm
was one to three miles wide and 10
miles long.

the talk finally drifted to the sub

man was decided. He stated it as
his emphatic opinion that it was a

fires and let her poor, hardworking
husband rest.
After this decision there was a

AN INDIAN BOOTBLACK.

Sitting Bulls eldest son is boot
black. His name is Montezuma,
and he is a graduate of the Carlisle
Indian school.
After his schooling he went to
Philadelphia full of ambition and
musing over the profession he would
adopt. At ffsst it seemed to him
that he might be a banker and then,
when no one seemed inclined to help
him along that path, a master mer-
chant. But he was beginning to
learn that there is no royal road to
riches, and he thereupon decided
that he would black shoes.
For a few cents he bought the
regulation kit, and it was not long
before he could send for Winonah,
from the Rosebud agency, the girl
who had promised to marry him.
Instead of the soapbox which Mon
tezuma once carried for an outfit,
he now has a handsome stand, and
this descendant of line of chiefs
is building up a more Furnishing
business every day. Best of all, he
lays his success to Carlisle, for, as
he says, he learned there how to do
things well, the small as well as the
greatly uth's Companion.
