MAY SHIP HAY
Freight Rates Make it Possible to Ship
 at Good profit

Their are few fields of grain in the valley which will be ready for cutting fol hay within two or three weeks, which will make by far the earliest hay in the State. The producers are now figuring on the possibility of shipping this to Los Angeles, where the price of grain hay ranges about SIS ton. The freight rate is $4.S0, leaving the Imperial price on board cars $l3.2O. These early crops are all volunteer and very heavy. It is ex- pected that some of them will run to four tons to the acre. Under these cir cumstances, it looks as though some of the farmers might get from $30 to $40an acre for their early hay crops, and we may have again anumber of cases where the crop exceeds in value the total cost of the land and all improvements.

Judge C0rliss Talks.

In a recent article published in
the Grand Forks Herald of the
10th inst Judge Corliss has this
to say OF Judge Palda of our
home district:
81 am just home from a bust
ness trip to Minot where l had
business before Judge Palda OF
the eighth judicial district, and
you can say for me that the
eighth has a most capable man
on the bench. It would indeed
be a sad mistake to displace him
for a man who has not had any
experience, and while Judge
Palda is a comparatively young
man he has shown such an ex-
cellent adaptability for court
work that it makes him one Of
the very al lest Judges the state
now has. He should by all means
be retained.

For Another Hotel.

There is considerable talk of a
hotel being installed in the whole.
sale building now occupied by
the Grand Forks Mercantile Co.
Such an institution handled by
the rightman should pay. Minot
is considered one Of the best
hotel cities in the state and often
our hotels are filled to overflow
ing. The mercantile building is
one of the largest in the city and
would accommodate hundreds
daily besides it's location isexcel-
lent.

A Starch Factory.

The Commercial Club should
and no doubt will agitate the
opening OF a starch factory in
this city. With land surround
ing the city which raised with
ordinary care 200 bushele OF po-
tatoesper acre, thereis no reason
why a factory Of this kind would
not pay exceedingly well. 1t
would encourage the growing OF
potatoes more extensively among
the farmers and many would no
donbt engage exclusively in this
business. Coal can be bought
cheap near the city and the cost
OF running the factory would not
be great.

Dragged to Death.

Last Tuesday evening Henry
Reeder, a farmer about thirty
years Of age met with an accident
which caused his immediate
death. 1t appears that the young
man had started ia picket out
his horse for the night and in
some unknown manner had got
tangled in the picket line and the
horse becoming frightened at
something dragged him to the
barn Of A. G.. Endlund, . dis
tance Of perhaps thirty feet,
where the rope became loosened
and the horse went to town.
Friends Immediately started for
the claim and discovered the
body. The hands and face were
very badly bruised and scratched
and large bumps we're found on
and about the body. The 70
mains have been forwarded to
Sank Centre, MIMI, where the
young mans mother is residing.
He had been a resident of Ward
county for period of about five
years and had the respect Of ali
who knew him.

Windell vs.. Peterson.

A hearing in one of the most
important contest cases that has
been had in Ward county, came
on at Minot last Monday. Over
two years ago Dr.. Windell Of
Minot contested the claim of
John Peterson, now deceased.
The case went by default owing
to the impossibility of getting
to Bowbells, at the hearidg-a
fierce blizzard raging that day.
A re-hearing was granted in the
case, after the entry Of Peterson
had been Cancelled and DR.. Win
dell had made homestead filing
on the land.
Carrie Peterson, widow of the
deceased appeared at Minot last
Monday with a large number OF
witnesses from their immediate
neighborhood and accompanied
by her attorneys Lyon 4 Lyon
OF this place and W. J. Anderson
Of Grand Forks. The contestant
was represented by Geo. H.
Gjertsen and N. Davis OF Minot.

The famous old Liberty Bell
which has been the subject of so
much comment and the sight of
which is being so eagerly sought
and widely praised Of late, was
brot from old England to the
city OF Philadelphia in the year
OF 1852. 1t was recast in April
1853 and again in June the same
year and the last time in some
MYSTERIOUS manner, though it
may seem strange to say, the
words: proclaim Liberty thru
out all the Land unto all the in
habitants thereof Lev. XIV 1O",
were engraved upon it. The
words were prophetic for when
the Declaration OF independence
was signed in the old Philadelphia
Hall at the city OF Philadelphia,
in which the bell hung, it an
nounced the fact to the crowds
without and to the whole world.
For many years it rung on July
4th, but on the Sth day of July
1885, while being tolled in mem

cracked, since which time it has
had a place OF honor in the old
State House and has been a
regular attendant to all the big

HE RECEIVERS BOTH.
Livingston Mans Wife and Money
Captured Here. I

-@7EMHn =
Thanks to the vigilance Of Under
Sheriff Sayles Vincennes Poala, q
Livingston man, was enabled to return
home last Saturday night with both
his wife and money, after he had
thought he would probably e see
either again.
Poala is a switch engineer at Liv-
ingston and caused the sherif's Office
to be notified that his wife, Marione-
zela, had decamped for the east Sat
urday morning with 5000 in good,
hard earned cash belonging to him.
A description of the woman was Sc
cured and MI. Sayles watched the
ktrains from the west and on the first
found the woman, whom he placed un.
der arrest. She had the full amount
Of the money, also a ticket for St
Paul. Notice Of her detention was
sent to Poala and he came down on
the next train.
The sight Of the grieving husband
caused Mrs. Poala to relent, for she
at once signi1ed her willingness no,
only to give him back the money
but to return to Livingston with him
The money was restored to the man
and both he and his wife returned
west.
