REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY.

There has been considerable activity
the past month in sales of real estate.
In some cases house rents have ad-
vanced 30 per cent, and deSirabl
rents are scarce. A large number Of
families have moved into the town the
past year. Bethel is making a good
healthy growth as everything indicates.
Eight thousand dollars of the indebt-
edness on the water bonds, due 1908,
will be paid from the sinking fund
the coming summer. We may safely
will be lowered in the near future.
There seems to be no necessity for in
creasing the borough or town tax.
There has been falling off in the ex-
penses for town poor. The highways
are in fair condition audit is estimated
that the cost for repairs will be less.
The East Swamp bridges need some re-
pairs and have been done in part. The
committee appointed by the town, last
fall, to act with the Selectmen in look
ing at the condition of two old wooden
bridges which span Clark's brook near
the residence of N. I. Bennett in Plum
trees district, have nOtsent in report,

HUSBANDS ARE MISSING
TWOJAMES TOWN WOMEN WANT
TO BE FREE
AGAIN.
DESERTION Is ALLEGED IN
BOTH OF THE
CASES.

Mrs. Allie M. Miller has commen-
ced suit in district court for divorce
from Joe Miller. She alleges nom
support and desertion. Miller left
the city over year ago. He is
worthless character and had great
deal of trouble with the authorities
before.he left. Three years ago he
stabbed Adam Brucker in drunken
scrap in billiard hall. He made
sensational escape on horseback to
South Dakota, where he was located
and placed under arrest. In court he
displayed q great deal OF bogus affec-
tion for his wife and family and this,
coupled with the fact that the man
stabbed did not want to send him
to the penitentiary. resulted in the
jury disagreeing. The case went over
one term and was dismissed. Later
Miller deserted the wife who had
stood by him in time of trouble.
Mrs. Nellie Clark, a member Of
the Randall family, wants the court
to free her from the CALLING matri
monial ties, uniting her for better or
worse to John Clark. In her case it
has been worse. Desertion and nor
support is charged against the miss
ing John.
Both plaintiffs are represented by
the firm Of. Martin & Backus.

PROTESTED PROOFS.

There have been forty-seven pro-
tccted proofs in one week in the vici-
nifty of Goodrich. Mclean County,
says the Goodrich Flicker, and it is
expected that there will be quite a
few more in the near future. Quite
number Of these proofs are legal,
but the majority are illegal, from
different causes. There has been
such monsterous kicks registered
that the government has taken action
and every proof that is not strictly
legal in every respect will be thrown
out, and it may be possible that the
filings will be Cancelled. There have
been proofs made where the entryman
has never made actual settlement on
the land, visiting it once in six
months, and possibly having little
breaking done. Many of these live
in other states and come here once in
six months, or in the spring and
fall of each yeal, stay few days on
the land and return again to their
homes. The majority OF the protest
ed proofs are combinations and a
few are final proofs. The date for
The hearing of these cases has not yet
been set, and it will likely be from
one 10 two years before it will be
possible to determine the outcome.

GOOD LAND SALES
STUTSMAN COUNTY REALTY
BOUGHT THIS
WEEK,

A good sized slice of some OF the
best unoccupied land in this county
was sold this week to party OF
prospective settlers from Iowa and
Wisconsin. They came to the city
personally accompanied by j. G..
Lund, proprietor of the Lunds Land
Agency, and before leaving bought
2,24O acres in the eastern part of tn e
county. The new owners will come
to the county next spring to reside.
Another deal for a half section to
the same parties is we'll underway.
Mr.. Lund stated that this mum.
Der Of new investors was but a fore
runner of large number from the
same locality, and that he expected
a steady lard busines next year.
He is we'll satisfied with the business
of the local agency under Mr.. Craig's

show about 50 quarters in the coun-

the progress That Jamesown has made
during the year and is considering
the advisability of purchasing a lot
and erecting two story building
next spring for offices and for living
rooms on the second story for the
Office manager. In fact an offer for
one Of the most desirable unoccupied
lots on a business street was made but
TIE offer declined by the owner. 1t

COURT HOUSE BURNED
CASS COUNTYS' FINE STRUC.
TURE LIES IN
ASHES.

Fargo, N. D., Nov. 18.-The court
l house building in this city, one OF
the largest and finest public buildings
in the state caught fire about 9:30
last night and in spite of every effort
to save the building it was burned to
the ground. The fire department.
worked to great disadvantage on ac-
count of the cold and wind and little
county property was saved. The
shefiff's residence and Jail, which
were detached from the court house,
escaped but little injured. The build
: ing was situated in the center of a
block of ground, and contained
valuable records. The plans and
drawings belonging to City Engineer
Crabbe and to Architect Beebe were
also lost.
The fire was discovered in the jury
room in the third story of the new
addition. The tower fell in within
an hour after the fire was discovered.
Streams were played on the walls of
the vaults to save the records. The
buildings and additions cost $3.50. 600.
Property to the amount of $4,000
was burned. The new addition was
almost completed. The total insur-
ance for all the buildings is 800, 900.
Most of the records and papers are
believed to be safe in the new vaults
and employees worked hard to get the
records slowed away after the fire was
discovered. The law libaries OF
Judges Young and Pollock were burn
ed. 1t is said there was no water
pressure. The city authorities were
roasted for not having sufficient fire
protection,

II WIS A SHAME
FOR THE COLORED LADY TO
LEAVE HER
HONEY.
BUT HE SURPRISED HER
LATER ON A
TRAIN.

The colored coupl", who have
been having an interesting time OF
late owing to the jealousy of the
husband, left "Wednesday on a train
for the east. The woman intended
to give hubby the slip but he hid
until the train pulled in and ga
her glad surprise later, on the
train. The colored man came to the
city a few weeks ago and stated then
that he had been married but short
time. The couple got along very
well until she became dissatisfied
with him and his income and he be-
came insanely jealous and neglected
his work IN Harry Higgins barber
shop, where he was employed as a
''shine", to watch her.
The rows we're so frequent that
they we're obliged to change their
rooming place a couple of times.
Finally the woman decided to leave.
Her husband has outwitted her in
her little scheme to sidetrack him
and is probably trying to convince
her that it is shame to treat him so
cruelty.
A couple of Jamestown young men
are breathing easier now that they
are gone for the husband had threat
ened to carve them and they had no
particular reason to believe that he
did not mean it.
