to Valley City where he applied for
care by the county authorities. They
sent him back to Jamestown, claiming
that as Beckman's hands had been
frozen in Stutsman county, he should
be treated there. Beckman was given
a ticket to Minneapolis by the Stuts-
man county authorities as that was
the easiest way out Of the difficulty.
Beckman will not lose any portion OF
his hands as a result of the freezing,
it is thought, and seemed greatly
pleased that he would not be obliged
to walk all the way to Minneapolis.

Knows which PAYS Best.

The Steele Ozone says it will con-
tinue to be independent in politics but
the free for all system it has followed
in boosting mems merits for Office has
not paid. The editor says:
LAST campaign we had to borrow
II per cent money to pay for $40 worth
OF extra typesetting alone. We lost
money additionally through neglect
ing our own haying. We like to do
all this but have found that it does
not pay the freight. We can have a
better time and save more money at
farming, and il we have to take our
choice between doing free fighting and
peaceful farming we know which pays
best.

Need of Social and Business Club.

The need of some club rooms in
jamestown for men to 60 evenings for
social and business purposes is seen
here each season, and number Of gen.
tlemen and business men have ex-
pressed desire for such place and a
willingness to pay for it.
What is wanted is a club Of business
and professional men, and others,
where the commercial affairs of the
town can be discussed and some inter
est infused in securing enterprises
here for the good of the city. Some
friendly, social and business orgsniza-
tion to push the growth of the town,
and largely also for social purposes is
wanted. The city is large enough to
keep up club of this kind, if the
same were started and conducted on
the correct plan. No liquors or gam
bling allowed, but warm, cheerful
rooms, with the leading magazines,
and papers on hand and opportunities
for social cards, conversation, billiards
and business discussions for the bene-
fit of the city and county.
Such club room or rooms once fit
ted with the necessary furniture, and
inaugurated with the proper manage
ment, would not be expensive to main
tain and could be made the means for
doing much toward pushing the ad-
vantages of this city in numerous ways
besides being a needed place for men
in a social way. 1t has been suggested
that the business men and property
owners think the matter over and
take steps to ascertain the views of
those most interested in such propo
Sitinn

fluenCe.

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. PA
jury was secured in the case Of w. E.
West, accused Of the murder of Frank
March, and trial was begun Saturday.
DR.. Wheeler Of this City was the first
witness and told Of the wound received
by March. He said death was due to
the wound and not to the shock follow
ing an operation for the removal Of
the bullet. He said he smelled liquor
on March although March had been
given none by physicians. w. B.
Wood testified that March had struck
West several times and knocked him
down.
After West had gained his feet he
(West) pulled his gun and walking a
few steps, three or four, he thought,
not directly towards March, but side
ways along the counter, he raised the
gun and fired at March.
Wood said he was about three or
four feet from West when the shot
was fired. March at the time was
about II or Is feet from West and
Wood was coming toward him rapidly.
He looked hurriedly about at March
when the latter said he was shot, and
then directed his attention to West.
He asked West to give him the revol-
yer, but the latter refused and placed
the gun in his pocket again. West
had said to him at the time, "Billy, I
couldn It help it,"
In answer to question by Mr..
Bangs as to what else had been said
at the time, witness started to say
that West told him about coming
across the street from the Prescott to
get away from March.
Witness said about a minute had
elapsed from the time March struck
West until the latter arose and shot
him.
The jurymen will be in the hands of
a bailiff at all times, taking their
meals at the Inealls.house and spend
ing the balance of the time in the
court house, where they sleep also,
cots having been supplied for their
use. The greatest care has been TAX
en- by the court in this respect to
guard against the jurvmen coming in
contact with any outside influence.
