DEAD INDIANS LAND SALE.

Call: E. A. Hatch of Oberon says
that the first sale Of lands in the
Devils Lake reservation belonging to
Indians who have died, and who had
the lands allotted to them in sever
atty, will be made May 8, at Fort
Totten. The agent receives the bid
of any one who desires to bid on the
lands and there are some 1, 100 quar-
ter sections offered for sale in this
manner. Mr.. Hatch says that next
year the entire reservation will be
opened, beyond doubt, and that a big
increase in business and population
is expected for that locality. The
op~ning of the reservation will admit
over 400, 900 acres of land in Benson
county to cultivation. The reserva-
ton extends from the south shore of
the lake to the Sheyenne river in
Eddy county. It will be a great
thing for that part of the state to get
the reservation under cultivation.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Langdon Farmer Murders his Young Son
Tries to Murder his Daughters and
then Commits Suicide.

Henry Albrieson, aged IS, muir
dered his 5-year-old son. and a short
time afterwards sent a rifle bullet
through his own brains, from the
effects Of which he died Thursday
morning at Langdon.
Mrs. Albrieson was at Langdon
when the terrible tragedy occurred,
doing some trading. 1t seems that
the domestic relations had not been
very pleasant and Albrieson was also
badly in debt He cleared one of the
apartments of the granary in prepare
tion for the tragedy and then took
his young son there and shot him.
He then returned to the house and en-
deavored in turn to induce his daugh-
ters, aged 10, and 8 years and a SON.,
aged - years, to accompany him to
the eranary. They had heard the
shot fred which killed their younger
brother, and became suspicious.
They asked him what he had been
shooting and he replied, 80, was
just shooting a pig They refused
to go with him, however, and he
finally returned to the granary alone,
and shot himself. On hearing the
sercond shot his children ran to the
granary and found their brother dead
and their father dying. Neighbors
were notified and the sheriff and
county attorney were summoned from
Langdon and remained until Albrie-
son died when an inquest was held
at which it was determined that
Albrieson had murdered his son and
then committed suicide.

THE MERGER DECISION.

The United States Circuit court
decided what is knwon as the "Mer-
9 case" last week, and it held,
practically, that the union of the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Burlington railways was illegal.
The case will be appealed to the
supreme court of the United States.
There is much rejoicing in various
quarters over the decision, as it is
looked upon as a Knockout blow to
the Northern Securities company.
There is no state in the union more
vitality interested in this decision
than the state of North Dakota. The
conservative business man will hest
tate in accepting the decision as one
which will be of benift to this state.
One of the chief objects of the merger
was to unite the three great systems
for the purpose of building up and
handling the great Pacifc-O Orient
trade which is in its infancy.

J. J. HILL IS CONFIDENT.

President J. J. Hill of the North
ern Securities company, does not
take seriously the opinion of the u.
S. circuit court which declared the
merger of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific roads to be illegal.
In a New York interview he says:
eff this decision is upheld by the
supreme court-but I am confident it
will not be-no less than So or 80 per
cent Of the railroad systems in the
United States will be up in the air.
All the work Of the last seven years
will have to be done all over again in
a different way.
"It is preposterous that. congress
intended any such interpretations of
any trust bill as the circuit court of
appeals has placed upon it.
81 am inclined to think that our
jurists have not read their books
right. I do not wish to enter into
the merits or dement's of the case,
but mark this: Further evidence
will be introduced by the Northern
Securities company, and we are just
as positive as ever that we shall prove
our contention to the satisfaction of
the supreme court"
Asked what plan would be pursued
if the company be defeated in the
supreme court, Mr.. Hill said:
"We have made no preparations
for defeat and do not expect it, but if
it should come, we shall then have
some plan to announce, for of course
we could not then stand still.
Sour assets would not be dimin.
ished and the intrinsic worth of ou1
property would not have deprecated
one cent, and it would be necessary
for us to provide some plan for its
control, but it would not be another
holding company or two holding com.
panies, or anything of that sort.
Just what it would be I cannot say al
this time"
"If we are defeated in the final
tribunal said Mr.. Hill, late in the
day, "then it will be time to consider
in what manner and means the two
corporations will be operated. Al
the present time we are not thinking
of how to evade the law. We are
trying to learn our rights as citizens
and to keep the laws of the state ani
nation

WHY NOT?
Talk of Organizing a Club of Home
Players for Devils Lake.

Starkweather, Crary, Edmore, Car
do and York are organizing baseball
clubs, and it is said that there is
some first class talent to be found in
each team. One of the best clubs in
the state last year was the one at
York. They won nearly every game
they played, and good ball judges say
they could have held their own with
any of the league teams. It is a we'll
known fact that a club composed
wholly, or nearly so, Of local players
awakens far more interest than a
team of imported men. The lack of
interest in baseball last year at Devils
Lake can be charged to the fact that
the players were nearly all imported.
The players being strangers it was
hard to work up enthusiasm. The
Inter Ocean believes there is enough
local talent right here to organize a
good club, and there is no question
but that a team composed largely of
local men would awaken enthusiasm
and receive a liberal support from the
public. With Sessions, Foubert,
Routier, Barnett, Donahue, Gum,
Conley and a number of other players
a strong team could be organized.
While Sessions has signed with Grand
Forks there is nothing to hinder him
from remaining here if he so desires
and it is we'll known he would rather
remain than go away if he could be
assured reasonable compensation for
the seasons work. It understood the
Chautauqua association is disposed to
deal quite literally with a local team
and there is no reason why one should
not be organized.

SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs Of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
g ives them strength to do
their proper work.

The magnificent new Mercy Hospi-
tai, which was dedicated this week,
is a great credit not only to Devils
Lake but also to Ramsey county and
the GEOGRAPHICALLY this section of
the state. The construction of this
modern home for the sick and MANNED
was a great undertaking, and being
tor the benefit of the puplic it is but
right and proper the public should
contribute in a measure at least to its
support. It has been suggested that
connection should be made to the hos.
pital with city water. The expense
of constructing the main IS beyond
the means of the hospital at this time,
and it would be a fitting contribution
and assistance to a most worthy cause
if the county would bear this expense.

that there is not a tax payer in the
county who world object to the ex.
penditure.
