EDMORE EXTENSION.
Little Doubt That the Great Northern
Will Extend the Branch to Mortified.

Edmore News: There is hardly
any doubt but what the Edmore
branch of the Great Northern road
will be extended during the coming
summer. A private letter received
by the editor of this paper a few days
ago states that the road will be ex-
tended at least twelve miles, where
new town will be located to be
known as Hamden. It would appear
from this that the report that North
field was to be moved had some truth
| in it.
From another source it is learned
that it is the intention to extend this
line still further than Hamden or
Northfield, the final destination being
in the northern part of Towner coun-
ty about midway between the Lang
don and Cando branches.
On Monday last, one of the Great
Northern surveyors came in town and
proceeded north. He states that he
had not received his final orders re-
garding this line, but had for the
extension of the Souris line and the
branch which is to leave the main
line at Granville.

MOSES KALoF NOT GUILTY.
So Says the Jury Before Whom He Was
Tried on Charge of Burglary.

The trial of Moses Kalof, charged
with burglarizing the Creel residence
on the night of January Goth last,
was on trial in the district court
Thursday and Friday of last week.
The prosecution had but one wit
ness, Mrs. Creel, who swore positively
that she recognized Moses Kalof to be
the man whom she found in her resi-
dence on the night the burglary was
committed. All of the testimony
introduced by the defense went to
prove an alibi. A half dozen or more
witnesses testified positively that. on
the night Of the burglary, during. the
very time the state claimed the bur
glarv was committed, Moses Kalof
was attending farewell party given
at the home of John Kalof.
The jury after being out all night
returned verdict of not guilty early
Saturday morning.

STONE CLAIMS ARE GOOD.
So Say the officials of the Devils Lake
Land Office.

The local landoffice at Devils Lake
has just handed down decision in
which it is held that stone claims en-
tries, made upon lands on which there
are large quantities of the ordinary
boulders and some lime stone, are val
id and permissible under the Timber
and Stone Act. Several such claims
were filed in the western part of the
country last year; some of these were
contested and this is the first decision
in this state, SO far as we are able to
learn, under this law. The decision
is matter of much interest, both to
the litigants and the public. The
case will be appealed to the commits
sioner Of the general landofice. C.
w. Buttz, Of Minnewaukan, and Ser
umgard & Moen, Of this city were the
attorneys in the case.

ON THE EDGE

Her fayorite expression when speak
ing of herself was by way of being a
Bohemian" She thought 1T rather
neat phrase. This did no great harm
since her clear gray eyes mirrored a
soul so spotlessly white that you knew
the land of Bohemia was unknown
ground to her.
Her trade was painting and her out
put consisted of the most part of win
try landscapes and little marines in
tones of dolorous gray. They were i'll
drawn, and the coloring often left
much to be desired, but try as she
would to make them realistic some
thing of her own dainty, appealing
personality crept into each picture
and sold 1t.
For the rest she was a devout little
church woman, with leaning toward
ritualism and a taste for discovering
unappreciated genius where none ex-
listed.
And that was what she thought him
to be-a genius.
He was a handsome man. At least
he believed he was, and many women
agreed with him. The land of dirt,
debt and doubtful morality--of Bo-
hemia-was familiar territory to him.
A wife, staid, placid and middle
aged, the possessor of a moderate in
come, insured his escape from the dirt
and the debt, but, lacking these two
important requisites, he had establish
ed firm foothold in Bohemia.
The yoke of financial dependence did
not weigh heavily upon him. He felt
that in serving him his wife was hap
piest, and he made her life as pleasant
as he could without interfering with
his own personal comfort and amuse-
ments. He was as amiable at home as
he was immaterial in the scheme Of
domestic economy.
But the girl mistook his dissipation
of energy for the eccentricity of genius
and burned incense to the Pigment Of
her Imagination. The incense was to
Bohemia.
She was quite willing to go. Perhaps
all unconsciously she was learning to
follow wheresoever he led A sign of
the times was the change In her work.
