Troubles of His Own.

Our friend David Houston OF
Burlington has been having all
kinds of matrimonial troubles Of
late and there seems to be no end
to them. A month or so ago
David married 8 lady from the
east whom he had known but a
short time and he claims that
she did not make a good mother
to his children. He says his
home would have been broken
up and his children would have
left had the woman remained
under his roof, but she packed
up one day and came to Minot.
David advertiser the fact that
he would not be responsible for
any bills which she might con-
tract and she now expresses a
willingness to return to his home.
He does not wish her to return
and offers to square the matter
by buying her a ticket to her old
home in Virginia

24OO Christmas Trees
The first car load of Christina

The first car load of Christmas
trees ever shipped west OF Grand
Forks arrived in Minot last
week, consigned to the Grand
Forks Mercantile Co. The car
contained 24OO trees all of which
we're disposed. The hearts OF
thousands of the children on the
prairies surrounding Minot, as
well as in the city were made
glad by the presence Of the green
beauties on Christmas morning,
laden with all kinds Of presents.
1t reminded them OF their old
homes in the far east. The trees
were the first green ones many
had seen since they came to this
state. Nearly every rig between
Minot and Lansford one day
last week carried one OF the trees.

BLOODED MURDER

After Quarreling With Her all Night,

to This City and Lodged in Jail.

lasted until nearly four O'Clock
in the morning. When Graves
saw that it was impossible to
make up with his wife, he pulled
his revolver from hispocket, and
standing at a distance OF ten
feet from her, fired. The bullet
entered her mouth and passed
out the back of her head. The
little 9-year-old girl was a wit
ness to the tragedy and as her
father was about to kill the
mother, she cried, Mamma,
Papa is going to kill you.'' The
woman died instantly. The man
ran at once and secured a physi-
clan, DR.. Mccall, but it was too
late. No power on earth could
give back the life that he had
taken. Graves soon realized
what a terrible thing he had done
and gave himself up to Mark
Murphy and Mr.. Armstrong,
deputy sheriffs, who broughthim
to this city on the morning train,
arriving here at 1:30 O'Clock.
On the way to this city Graves
broke down and cried. lie was
taken to the office of the states
attorney, James Johnson, where
arrangements were made for his
hearing. He stated thathewould
waive examination and stand
trial.
The deed is similar to that
committed in this city by Hans
Thorpe, and for which that man
hanged. Graves will likely thru
his attorneys put up the defense
OF insanity, though this will hard
ly work, as Graves declares that
he is not insane. The law does
not recognize any excuse in the
fact that he was jealous Of his
wife, and if he does not stretch
hemp for the terrible crime every
criminal should 60 free. He is a
man 35 years old, and weighs
about $50 pounds. He has mild
blue eyes and a sandy mustache.
He has always borne an excellent
reputation. The citizens Of Por.
tai say that Mrs. Graves was q
fine woman. Graves will be held
for trial at the next term Of the
district court.

Winter Sports

For many years here amongst
hills, giving the best advantages
for winter sport none but the
the small boys have helped them
selves to the health and mirth
that nature has provided. Re-
Gently however some of our fun
loving citizens have formed or
carnations for winter sports.
Foremost among these is the
Norwegian-American Ski club.
The club holds weekly meetings
on the hills at the south Of the
city. Mic Rustad, our genial
watch maker Is president Of this
organization. +. L. Sutton is
vice president and chief runner,
and Bill Hawley, thejovial drug
gist Secretary and treasurer. A
run was held by the ski club on
Sunday last. Mic Rustad made
the best run, winning the prize.
f. L. Sutton was second. An
other winter organization is the
Minot Toboggan Club. John
Wood, president, Chas. Olson,
captain. The boys may be seen
most any evening on the hill west
Of the county hospital. There's
health and happiness in these
winter time sports and the peo.
pie OF our community would dc

ally.

VIM. N. Graves, shot and in
stantly killed his wife in q fit of
jealousy at her home in Portal
Monday morning shortly before
four O'Clock. A momentlater he
would have given anything he
possessed in the world to have
brought back the life Of the wo-
man he loved. While the murder
was a most cold blooded one,
Graves appears to be a man Of
some refinement and his face pre-
sents a mild look.
Graves and his wife and three
children, aged 8, 5, and four
years respectively, came to Por-
tai from Indiana last spring and
settled on a homestead. Every
thing went we'll with the little
family until Graves and his wife
succeeded in getting employment
at the home OF Billie Waugh, a
farmer living 4 miles north Of Por-
tai on the Canadian side. Graves
grew Jealous of Waugh, but those
who are supposed to know, state
that his wife was true to him and
never gave him any reason to be-
come jealous. Through the ef-
forts Of Waugh and Graves wife,
Graves was placed in an insane
asylum in Canada last summer
where he remained nine weeks.
He stated that he was not insane
and those who have seen him in
Minot cay they believe he has a
good sound mind. He was set
free from the insane asylum but
his wife refused to live with him.
She said that he had threat
ened to take his own life several
times, but Graves SAYS he knows
nothing OF this. His wife began
proceedings for a devorce and
employed Gammons 4 Barrett
Of this city but never secured the
devorce. Graves believed that
Waugh still gave his wife atten-
tion SO four days before he killed
her, he bought a 80 calibre re-
volver with the determination to
kill Waugh. He went to the
shack in which his wife was Sleep
ing about ten o'clock Sunday
night and aroused her from her
bed. She arose and dressed and
they began their quarrel which

Do Not Give Satisfaction

The boilers which were recent

house are not tgiving satisfaction.
It is a wonder that the officials
do not see the advantage OF put

OF placing them was as great
as putting in new ones.

OF course, a deal is never closed
until the money has been forked
over, and this is how it stands
with the Kulaas company. The
yards burned more than a year
ago, but have since been rebuilt
and are better than ever. They
are spacious, well arranged and
have fire proof offices. They are
admirably located.

The words of praise for the action Of the convention at Tuscaloosa were not meant as a reflection on the probable actloh ol the convention in Demopohs WneEe sne same spirit of liberallty was eVldenceu.
 When 1 asserted that the pound ot flesh was not demanded" l meant 1t; for the money did belong to the Alabama Division. '. D. C., having been maue py various Chapters of that organization anu turned over to it's servant, the Whte House Committee. So the fact stahoS that it was a most generous act on the part of the Alabama Division to give that money to an association in no way con nected with it.
 When l say the spirit, not the Eetter or the law prevailed a Tuscaloosa, meant that: for by the letter of the law the money absolutely belonged to the Ala bama Division. U. D. C.. but according to the spirit of the law the money which had ben worked for to purchase the old home occupied short while by Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy was properly disposed of when 1t was generously donated to an association whC<e object 1t was to purchase IL.
 At its organization the Alabama Divis- ionn, T.. D. C., took up with hearty interest and patriotic enthusiasm the pur- chase and preservation of the Jenerson Davis home in Montgomery, but 1t did a wise thing when 1t abolished the work, recognizing that the first objects for which the Daughters of the COnfederacy should work are marking the graves or the dead and looking to the welfare of the living old Confederate Veterans, who are left disabled and destitute in their old age
 The fact that separate association, the sole object of which is to preserve the old landmark has been organized Is not astonishing; for the world over historic buildings of no more interest than IS at tactr-d to the Davis home have been preserved.
