SENTENCED A PAIR
TO PENITENTIARY
Judge GlaspelI Sentenced Frank Smith, the Kensal
Man who Beat His Wife with Board, to Two
Years in neutrality-suspicious. Crawford Given
One Year for Stabbing Samuel Atcheson

Late Monday afternoon Frank
Smith, barber. of Kensal, who plead.
ed guilty to charge of having beat.
en- his wife with board with the
intention of killing her, was brought
before Judge Glaspell for sentence.
When asked if he had anything to
say before sentence, Smith wept and
asked for mercy from the court.
Tears rolled down his cheeks as he
pleaded with the Judge to be easy
with him. Like Adam did several
thousand years ago, Smith blamed
the woman. He said his wife was
partly to blame for his treatment of
her.
Judge Glaspell stated that Smiths
wife had not talked in that unkindIy
strain of her husband. She had come
over from Kensal and had interced-
ed with the court fer her husband.
States Attorney Rose and Attorney
E. W. Thorp asked the court to give
the prisoner light sentence.

AN INDEPENDENCE OGRE

Wells County Free Press: The Har-
vey--Fourth of July collation. was one
long drawn out debauch. 1t was an
ogre which would disgrace anything
participated in BY Nero, patron saint
of the..subtel british. 1t was a day of
license for man to do violence unto
himself and neighbor without a fear
OF the law. 1t was gigantic graft
by the people of Harvey who played
their visitors and the rural popula~
tion for suckers, tleeced them like
sheep. The ball game was the only
bona tide attraction of the day, and
the only creditable amusement put
up by the amusement committee, and
it came extra. Whiskey, beer and
gambling made up the other attrac-
tions, and the town was a drunken
brawl all day long. The little Jail
was packed with celerators of Ameri-
cas- great national day.
1t was a pltiful and humiliating
sight.
1t was an independence ogre.
Harvey needs deoderizing.

MONEY FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Union Pacific Disposes Of $4,000, 900
in Five Per Cent Notes.

New York, July 16.-It is officially
stated that the Union Pacific Railroad
company, for the purpose of financing
requirements of affiliated companies,
has sold $4,000 900 one and one-half
year per cent notes. Union Pacific,
it is stated, has an excess of funds
from its own earnings, but has deemed
1t we'll under existing conditions to
avail of its credit for the benefit of its
affiliated lines. the surplus earnings OF
which. it is expected, will provide for
the bulk of these advances.
The notes were offered at 981s. No
commission was paid to the banking
interest which sold the notes. about
ore-half OF which were placed abroad
and the balance with large financial
institutions in this city The Union
Pacific road itself. it was stated, has
no immediate need for money but the
subsidiary lines, more particularly
Southern Pacific. were pressed for
funds for improvements. Ordinarily
the company would have offered bonds
but because of existing conditions in
the stock market this was deemed in
expedient.

Judge Glaspell then gave Smith a
sentence of two years at hard labor
in the peDitentiary at Bismarck.
Thomas Crawford, who was con-
victed of having stabbed Samuel
A tcheson in drunken row at The
home of Atcheson's uncle in the
northern part of the county, was
asked if he had anything to say.
The prisoner stated that he thought
the Judge should take into considera-
tion his age and promised to keep
out of trouble when he vas released.
Judge Glasell stated that in view
OF the age of the prisoner, 10 years,
he would be lenient with him and the
penalty was fixed at a year in the
penitentiary. ...
The prisoners will be taken to the
peniteDtiary this week by Sheriff
Eddy.
Smiths wife has secured divorce

BUYING AN EMPIRE

The result of the quest was an
nounced short time ago, when tile
information was Civ. n TO the world
that the Saskatchewan Valley &
Manitoba Land company had purchas-
ed the entire land grant of the Ca
madam Northern aiway in Manito-
ba. Assiniboia and Saskatche wan.
comprising more than l,5OO, 900 acres
OF prime wheat land.
Tie new company is composed of
men we'll known in American and Ca.
madam business circles and who have
been associated with several land
companies and have alwaS $ succeeded.
Their success last year with their
million acres makes it certain that
they will do as well with the land

Big PURCHASE OF LAND
ENTIRE LAND GRANT OF CAN
ADIAN NORTHERN RAIL
WAY PURCHASED.

WAY PURCHASED
Western Canadian land transactions
OF enormous agnitude, both in acreage
and money, have become so common
that it requires something SO much
above the ordinary big deal to arouse
public interest that it may be taken
granted that when a land transaction
attracts and holds the interest Of
the people, it must be something of
unusual size. To the Saskatchewan
Valley and Manitoba Land company
belongs what is probably the most ex-.
tensive land purchase in the hisotry
of Canada if not indeed, IN that Of
the English-speaking portion Of the
North American continent.
When some of the gentlemen who
compose this company purchased a
year ago, under the name OF the Sas-,
katchewan Valley Land company,
million acres in AssinibOia and Sas-
katchewan, the land buying public,
was amazed and dumbfOuHded and
the prediction was freely made that
the company had ''bitten OF more
than it could chew; but i'm seven
months the shrewd energetic and en-
| terprising gentlemen who composed
that company, disposed OF the entire
million acres in large md small lots

Speaking OF the specific conditions
the doctors say that they think the

Is so slight as to cause the patient no
trouble. The chief remaining dan
ger lies in the almost complete pros
