LeSueur's Brother Killed.

Ernest l4eSueur, brother OF
Attorney LeSueur, was instantly
killed at Riverside, Cali. He was
working on the construction OF
a new bridge. Workmen let a
timber fall on a timber on which
Mr.. LeSueur was standing break
ing it. He fell with the timbers
thirty feet below and had his
legs broken. He was struck over
the head and killed. The acct
dent happened August 4. The
telegram Mr.. LeSueur received
led him to believe that it was his
brothers son who was killed, as
there was a mistake made in
sending it. 1t was but a few days
ago that he received the correct
information. His brother was
forty years old and visited in
Minot several times where he be-
came acquainted,with several.

DR.. Carr which will be occupied
this winter as a residence. In
the spring the building will be
converted into a barn and the
doctor will have a $1,000 resi-
dence erected on his lot. The

full homes in the northwest. He
can depend on getting first-class
work done by Mr.. Mars and his
men. Mr.. Marrs came from Miss

Let Crazy Man Get Away

Sheriff Scofield went to Ken
mare Sunday in response to a
telegram stating that a crazy
man had been frightening the
farmers southeast of that place.
f. C. Tolley had him arrested but
when the sheriff arrived at Ken
mare the fellow had disappeared.
Officer Hofine gave the man
permission to go for his break
fast and he must have been
hungry for he has not shown up
since. The man hailed from
South Dakota and is about fifty
years old. He lay in a hay cock
all day Saturday and had a de-
fusion that the sheriff was after
him. He carried II loaded rifle
and would have used it upon the
least provocation. When he es-
capped he did not take his rifle,
but he is considered a dangerous
man to be at large.

Holt Was Not Guilty

Anton Holt who was accused
Of stealing; Fred Almy's horse
several weeks ago, had his trial
at the city jail Monday afternoon
before jury of twelve OF the
business men Of MinOt. They
decided that the man was not
guilty OF doing an Intentional
wrong, and let him 60. Holt
was in town one night and want
ed to go home to his children
and it is thought that he took
the horse from the barn for that
reason. 1t cannot be proven
that he even did that but
the horse was found at his place.
The decision of the jury meets
with the approval of everyone in
Minot. Hollis wife is in the in

Buy Two Automobiles.

The Grand Forks Mercantile
Co., purchased two large auto
mobiles for the use of their travel
ing men. The machines where
they have been used by the travel
ing fraternity, have given the
very best Of satisfaction and the
custom bids fair to sweep over
the entire northwest. There are
no better roads in the world for
travelling in this manner, and
then the knights Of the grip do
not have to wait for hours for
the slow trains-on the 500 for
instance.

A Teel Kills Itself

Joseph w. Winter startled
the other evening while sitting
in his house down on the farm,
to hear something come against
his window with a crash. The
next morning he found a large
teel dead near the house, with its
breast caved in. The bird had
seen the light and flew against
the window with force enough to
cause it's death. Joe is patiently
waiting for flew prairie chickens
to do the same thing and says
his mouth is watering waiting
for the first of Sept.

A prominent Minot gentleman
said to the Independent man TIE
other day: ''Do you know what
we need in this town for our
young men? 1t is nothing more
or less than free reading room
with the latest papers and peri
odicals. We censure the young
fellows for going to disreputable
houses and patronizing the blind
pigs, when we do not furnish any
place where they can amuse them
selves innocently." This man
was level headed. Let us get to-
gether and get Carnegie to give
us a library or get the business
men to fit up a reading room. 1t
will not cost much and will be
worth a great deal in the years
to come.

A Bad Case of D. rs.

The Independent has been in
formed that the articles appear
ing in two OF the other local pa
pers regarding the shooting OF
young McDougall were incorrect
in all their particulars. From
what we can learn, McDougall
was not shot at all, but the re-
port was started by a fellow who
had a bad case of D. Us.

The Independent wants to be-
lieve that Minot is getting better
and sometimes is inclined to be-
lieve that this is the case. A
physician made a remark to us
the other day which looks how
ever, as though the young men
and young women were not liv-
ing the lives they should live,
which would be conducive to
good health or according to
Christian principles. Verify it is
getting to be the case in Minot
where a young man or young
woman is considered unrighteous
until proven otherwise.

Some one has suggested twelve
things that every girl can learn
before she is fifteen. Not every
one can learn to play or sing or
paint well enough to give pleas
ure to her friends, but the follow.
ing accomplishments are with
in everybody's reach: Shut the
door, and shut it softly. Keep
your own room in tasteful order.
Have an hour for rising, and
rise. Learn to make bread as
well as cake. Never let a button
stay off twenty-four houre. Al
ways know where your things
are. Never let a day pass with
out doing something to make
somebody comfortable. Never
come to breakfast untidily
dressed. Never 60 about with
your shoes unbuttoned. Speak
clearly enough for everyone to
understand. Never fidget or
hum so as to disturb Others.
Never fuss or fret.

New Jersey seems to be unfortu-
nate in her attempts to enact gen.
eral school law that will stand the
scrutiny of our highest judicial
tribunal, and, at the same time,
prove acceptable to the manifold
and diverse needs of the various To-
calities of the State. The decision
of the Court of Errors and Appeals
that the Legislature is not justified
under the constitutional limitation,
to provide by law for classification
embracing cities in one division and
all other municipalities in another
division, rests upon the narrow vote
of six to FIVE, and renders it i'm
possible for our lawmakers to agree
upon scheme that will please all
sections of our commonwealth. AL
ready we see signs of opposition
from different quarters based on
local conditions which will necessa-
rily be changed and n many cases
to the disadvantage Of many of our
school districts.
While it is true that the Morris
town district is peculiar in its con-
struction, yet there are other cases
where practically the same system
prevails. This district embraces
Morristown, a part of Morris town
ship and portion Of Hanover town
ship, from whence come many chill
dren. Morris township, in case q
general law is passed, will not have
sufficient facilities for accommodate
ing the additional demand, and the
superior advantages of the excellent
system now enjoyed.will be denied
its boys and girls. The location o
the present schools in the township
will render il necessary for tbs
scholars to travel long distances go
ing to and from school, admitting
that they could find admission
which it is not possible to do.
The high standard acquired b.
iudicious management, the Stat
reputation Of the excellency Of on
local schools, the ownership of val
liable properties, and not dolla
Of debt would lead one to exclain

State in his treatment Of matte
