Sympathy With Monroe.

jamestown Capital Henry SEVERN
is in bed where he expects to remain
for couple of days-until three knife
thrusts in his body heal up-and the
peace and quiet of one family in the
city is very greatly disturbed.
VIM. Munroe spent last night in the
county Jail awaiting any action that
might be begun by the authorities on
motion of SEVERN. but SEVERN de
clines to prosecute and does not talk,
and Mr. Monroe was released
The trouble started Thursday night
when Mr. Monroe saw Severn in the
act of untying the Monroe horse which
was standing on Fifth avenue in front
of A. G. Tellner's jewelry store. Mr..
Monroe hastily crossed the street and
grabbed SEVERN. In the scuffle which
ensued SEVERN was stabbed in the
breast, the back and the left arm,
supposedly by pocket knife in the
hands of Mr.. Monroe Few words were
spoken but the few who witnessed
the affair were Well impressed that
the intent of one for satisfaction for
his outraged feelings was undoubted.
The sympathy of the public seems to
be entirely with Monroe. SEVERN is
an n P. brakeman. and it is said
year ago last August he was chased
toward the. river and a pen knife
thrust into his anatomy by an enraged
husband. who in this forcible man
ner protested against attentions
which We're exceedingly annoying.

seemed to feel under obligation to
surround all the booze there was in
town got into an alteration with a
member of another union who was
present. and extensively ordered him
from the room This broke I'D the
meeting. The organizer was from
Kenmare. and that union when it
sends out a representative next time
should send one who will stay sober
at least long enough to complete the
work in hand. The Wilton boys de
serve credit for turning down booze
fighter in conducting union affairs, as
they showed thereby that the cause
of unionism had at least their respect
and that it must be also respected

Benefits of irrigation.

Dickinson Press: Many are ask
ing of what benefit after all, was the
irrigation convention. Those who at
tended as delegates are satisfied that
if was one of the best moves that
could have been made and the only
regret is that some steps along this
line were not taken year ago. The
people of North Dakota need educa-
ton in the matter of irrigation, and
inst such conventions as the one held
in Bismarck this week will help to
do it. and at the same time show our
national representatives that the peo
ple are interested and want improve
ments made by the government un-
der the irrigation act. There is mon
ev in the treasury. nearly $3.00O0OO,
To the credit of the North Dakota
public land fund which should be eX-
pended in the state instead of being
diverted to other western states for
similar improvements such as are
needed at home 1t is the opinion OF
our national representatives that much
good has been done by the convention
inst held and that public improve
ments will follow within a few years
that will be of great benefit to the
people. Mr.. Hill said that much good
would result from this irrigation move
and he advocated strongly that the
people should familiarize themselves
with the matter and become posted a
to their duty in connection with it.
