A Holdup Artist

T. K. Kurtz, a young railroad
man employed on the 500, was
held up by a highwayman at the
point of q big six shooter as he
was walking along the main
track near the Lady barber shop
in this city about eight O'Clock
Thursday evening. Several cars
were standing on the side track
and as Kurtz passed one, q large
fellow wearing dark clothes and
q small dark hat, stepped from
between the cars and said, "Say,
hold on a minute" At the same
time. he flashed a wicked looking
gun right in the frightened brake
mans face. The brakeman had
q gun in his inside pocket, but
did not have time to pull it. He
did not stop at the command OF
the highwayman, but ran out to
main street where he notified Of
ficer Robinson at once. A posse
including Sheriff Sco6eld sur.
rounded the block but the bold
badman had disappeared. Kurtz
was badly frightened foG -so'7s
time after.

White Earth a Dandy

The lndepedent man spent some
time in White Earth Friday even
ing and was surprised to find SO
good a town. Everyone is busy
and we believe making money.
White Earth draws from a large
scope OF territory. There are
thousands of head of cattle and
horses grazing in that vicinity
and most Of the money comes
from that source, though some
good crops are raised there. We
cannot at this time go into de-
tail regarding the town or it's
future, but we can say we be-
lieve it is but in it's infancy.
We called on DR.. Hardman, who
owns a drug store. He is also
erecting a building at Tiogafor a
drug store. The New York store
is doing a fine business. The
manager tells us that the Indian
trade. which has always gone to
Williston, is coming to White
Earth. The people of that city
do not cheat the Indians and
the red men soon know where
they can get fair dealing. Chas.
Prinzing, proprietor of the White
Earth restaurant is a congenial
fellow and has a large crowd at
his place continually. He sets a
fine table and has everything
neat and clean.
Parks, the barber, is just as
fat and Jolly as ever. He was
once a resident Of Minot but is
doing a good barber business at
White Earth and does not have
to administer chloroform either.
Shepherd Bros, proprietors of
one lumber yard, have made
their little stake at the place, but
are still in the ring and are do
ing a big business. The boyshave
a record for square dealing.
We noticed many other stores
but had only an hour to spare
and had to defer our visit to
them until We have the pleasure
of making another trip there.

A Strange Spot

About four miles west of Ken.
mare, after passing over several
miles of perfectly level lground un-
der good cultivation, we come to
a depression, or rather a deep
cut said to be the head of the
'.Tasker Coulee." Near arthishead
is a circular basin, at one side OF
which a spring Of water boils up
constantly, this .overaows the
basin, around the sides of which
is a white substance resembling
alkali, but it is said to be more
of the nature OF borax. Near the
spring OF water are a number OF
mud springs. Step on one edge
and the soft mud will boil up
like mush. BY standing on a
ce, tain spot, one can easily shake
the ground for several rods in
each direction. Animals and hu-
man beings stepping into these
pots quickly sink out Of sight, if
not speedily rescued. The water
is softer than rain water, clear as
crystal, and cold almost as ice.
No matter how cold the weather,
the water never freezes. MIR.
Benson owns the claim on which
this is located, and has piped the
water up the hill, to his house.
What is the nature OF the de-
posits in the water has not been
discovered, as no scientist has
ever visited the spot, or tasted
the water. Verdure grows near,
but cultivated plants do ~3e*
thrive we'll with it's use. X, , II

THE FEAR OF THE LAW
IN THEIR HEARTS
Judge Pslda Seateaces Six Chmlaals vito
P'ead Guilty to the Charges Perfered
Against them.

Judge Palda is putting the
fear of the law into the hearts of
the criminals, and well may the
wrongdoer quake when standing
before him to receive their sent
ences. The Judge is making an
excellent record and is said to be
giving everyone just what they
keserve. The first two days OF
> session ofcourt, six criminals
pleaded guilty to the charges
preferred against them and re-
ceived their sentences.
Wilson, the box car thief, Al
len's,partner plead guilty. He
was brought up from Devils
Lake jail Thursday by the sher-
iff from that county, where he
had been confined since his cap
ture. He will be sent to the pen
itentiary.
J. Mauriska, the Kenmare bur-
glar, plead guilty and Judge
Palda sentenced him to two and
a half years in the penitentiary.
The fellow is but a young man,
hardly a hardened criminal, hav-
ing the countenance of a boy.
Yet he did wrong and must be
punished.
Jack Sheehan, who has been in
the wet goods business in Minot,
Lo, these many years, also plead
guilty. He was sentenced to six
ty days in Jail and will have a fine
OF $40O to pay. In case that he
does not pay the fine, he can
serve it out in thirty days.
VIM. Witter, the blind plgger
will board with Sheriff Scofield
for 80 days and will pay a 5000
fine by serving one day longer.
Picture Bill, as he is known, is an
old soldier, having served in two
wars and the Judge was easy on
him for that reason. @ ''@>1"'' p '..
Chas. Palmer, the Glenburn
hind pigger also plead guilty.
FL. H. Duffy who liked whiskey
better than liberty, confessed to
breaking the Great Northern
cars and swiping considerable
fire water. Palda thought three
years in the penitentiary would
give him time for reflection.

GOVERNOR DECLINES TO TALK.


Governor Durbin last night declined to
make statement in regard to the amend
ment adopted by the House. He indicated
that the proper time for a statement from
him would come when the amended bill
has been passed and some action has been
taken under its provisions. However, IL is
known that the Governor believes that the
chief executive should have the power to
remove a board or the individual members
should always have the right to discharge
his employees or that the man who makes
appointment should have the right to
remove his appointee at will. 1t goes with
out saying. according to his point of view.
that a removal would never be made under
such law without cause.
The amendment makes one important
change i'm the existing law that was de-
sired by Governor Durbin. The present
law provides that the Governor may re-
move a member of the board for miscon-
written charges. The amendment to the
Goodwine bill empowers the Governor TO
remove member of the board upon writ
ten statement after hearing II demanded.
Inc distinction between written charges
and a written statement is readily apparent
Under the new law as proposed 1T is to be
inferred that written statement will be
merely written notice that the Governor
will remove the member so notified on a
certain date, and that the latter will be
given hearing on such and such date IL
he desires Ii.
The comment on the amendment among
the legislators and politicians in the hotel
loDbieS last night was varied, but in the
main every one was glad that compro-
mise had been effected and a bitter fight

the United and National Associations of

disputed question of Jurisdiction will be

ganizations, which have spent much time
in wrangling. Referee Risi, of Cincinnati.

within few days.

Philadelphia Press.


The action OF the International Customs
Congress, which has been in session this
week in New York in voting unanimously
in favor of the adoption of the metric sys-
tenn of weights and measures is another
that sy stem. 1t has spread so rapidly that
the European states, with the exception OF
England and Russia. have adopted IL. as
have the South American states and Mex
ico and even Turkey and Egypt.
Both in England and Russia the senti-
ment is growing steadily in favor of the
change. There are 290 members OF the
present House of Commons in England In
favor of the metric system. and the pre-
mier, in speaking on the subject, said:
There can be no doubt whatever that the
judgment of the whole civilized world, not
excluding the countries which still adhere
to the Anticipated systems under which
we suffer. has long decided that the metric
system is the only rational system"
Opinion in the United States is divided
on the subject, but the people of this coun-
try will have to consider whether they
want TO be out OF harmony with all other
nations on this continent and in Europe
on this subject. Ii certainly viii not be
advantageous TO our foreign trade.
A recent consular report from Mr.. Ma
son, in Berlin, deals particularly with this
phase of the case. Germany made the
change in 1872 without difficulty, and Con-
sui Mason says that public opinion there
is unanimously of the opinion that great
advantage has been derived from the
change. Inquiry among importers led the
consul to believe that our trade was In
jured by the use of the awkward system at
present employed in the United States
