forty days Of this term as a
sentence, the balance Of the time
he was awaiting trial
Collier was charged with arson
and little could be proven against
him. The evidence was purely
circumstantial and everyone was
surprised when the jury at Town

Collier was so attached to the

he remained two days longer
than he was supposed to stay.
Free Homes For Thousands
There are a million acres OF
Minot and the Dickinson land
districts in this state that are
better than the land in the Rose
bud reservation, over which
there is such a scramble.
There are free homes within
fifteen miles of Dickinson, and
there is a stretch Of country
south of that point and west
that is as good land as ever lay
out OF doors fer mixed farming
and stock raising. There is a
lot Of good land In Billings coun-
ty, around the Rainy Butte dis
trict, on Beaver creek and on
Sand creek. On the latter there
is an outcropping Of a Ignite
coal vein that is six feet deep.
All the country south Of Dick
enson is susceptible to farming,
and it is well watered by numer-
Gus small streams, which makes
it an ideal section for either farm
ing or stock raising. If irriga-
ton is desired it can be put in
cheaply. as there is an abun-
dance Of moisture.
A railroad thru the country to
the south Of Dickinson is pro-
iected, and there will be a great
development in that region be-
fore long.
In the Minot land district the
homeseekers are overlooking a
magnificent section Of country
in Wallace county. That part
OF the state has been almost
wholly given up to the stock
men, and many people have re-
garded it as impossible for farm
ing. Some Of the finest crops in
the state can be raised there.
There is a valley thru Wallace
county for twenty five miles that
varies from a half to two miles
wide, scarcely any Of which has
been homesteaded. This land is
as fertile as any spot in the
West. and has the advantage Of
the Chinook winds. There are
great possibilities for irrigation
there on small plans.
All this land out in the western
part OF the state is as good as
the Devils Lake reservation,
which will be opened nextmonth.
OF course. the latter is nearer a
market, but only 60 percent OF
that reservation land is valuable
for farming.
Out in the Bad Lands there
are hundreds OF nice little valleys
that will grow fine crops, There
are not only sections OF good
land but whole townships ofmag-
nifcent farming and stock rails
