JONES WAS KILLED.
49,.
Goodrich Blindpigger Died as a Result
of Injuries Received in
= Row.
Robbery was the Motive for Assault
and Some Money is
Missing.
Guilty Parties Said to be Well
Known and will be
Arrested.

The town of Goodrich, twenty miles
west of Bowdon on the the n. p, was
> the scene of a drunken row about a
week ago which resulted in the death
of w. P. Jones who had been conduct
ing a blind pig at that place for some
: time past.
The details, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, are that on Friday night, Oct.
II, two men well known in that COM
munity, entered the building in which
Jones kept his liquors and became
very bosterous. They destroyed most
Of his goods and damaged the build
ing to considerable extent. In his
attempt to defend himself and to pro-
tect his property, Jones was knocked
down and badly beaten, which result
ed in his death a week later.
Robbery was probably the motive of
the assault as it is known that Jones
had considerable money but none can
! be found and without doubt it was
taken from him by the perpetrators
. of the crime.
Jones was man about SIS years Of
age and was never known to be quar-
relsome or disorderly in any way. The
case is in every way similar to the one
which occurred in Bowden last spring
when Phillip was brutplly assaulted in
!. the blind pig operated by himself,
( which resulted in his death.
The guilty parties are known and
will likely be taken into custody soon.

LANDS GOING FAST.
Good Farm Land Gets Valuable as
the Population
Increases.

Speaking of the rapidity with which
lands in North Dakota are being
taken up in the northern part Of the
state, d. w. Cassidy, land commits
sioner of the 500, in d recent bulletin,
says:
''Five years ago settler might have
had his choice of almost any quarter
section lying within a radius OF fifty
miles of Minot-the location of the
government land office for northwest
ern North Dakota. Even two years
ago, with the exception Of the Ken
mare BoWbells- -FlaXton settlement, he
could have taken almost any quarter
lying within the triangle bounded by
the 500, the International line and
the eastern Souris valley. Today not
an acre of free desirable land in the
triangle is left. The famous DeS
Lacs and Mouse river valley is now in
the hands Of hOmesteaders.
More than two million acres of west
ern North Dakota have been given
away in the year ending August l.,
1902. OF this amount more than
100000 acres were filed at the Minot
Office. The remainder was entered at
the Bismarck office. The MinoU Office
is now locating over 100 settlers every
month, and the Bismarck office over
200. The entries at all the Offices of
the state will aggregate over a
thousand a month. AT this rate good
government land in North Dakota
cannot last long. TO secure d good To-
cation, the respective hOmeSteader
should look over the teld this fall.
Thirty years ago when your father
bought his farm, the United States
had population of 10000 600 and the
government had millions of good farm
acres to give away. Land then was
cheap.
To-day when you want to buy your
farm, the United States has d popula-
tion of S0,000,O00, the good government
tree land is about exhausted. Good
farm land is high now.
Thirty years from now, when our
son wants farm, the United States
will have a population of l20,000,000
Free government farm lands will be
known only in history. What will
good farm lands cost your son?
The same rapidlty in the settlement
and filing Of government lands is seen
in the southern part Of the state
where the lands are more abundant
and equally. if not more desirable.
