Vim. Graves. who is serving a
five year term in the penitentiarv
at Bismarck for the murder OF
his wife, wrote a lengthy letter to
one Of our prominent attorneys.
stating that he is working in the
Irvine factory, and while he stands
the work all right, it is no snap
and he longs for his freedom. He
asked the atthrney to send him
some small calendars and sub
scribed for the Portal Independ-
ent, saying that he was allowed
to receive weekly newspapers.
Graves sent his regards to Rev.
Edgar Jones, pastor OF the
Methodist church, and to Chas.
Roller the iailer. He inquired re-
garding the prisoners and said
that Jack Sheehan was not a
bad fellow, and had been punished
enough. II suffer greatly in my
mind" he said. "and want to
live for my children, my two lit
tie girls, whom l want to see
grow up and be noble women. l
want to give them a fathers pro-
lection. They are all that |
have now" He did not refer to
his dead wife nor to the terrible
deed, he committed. VIM. Graves
is certainly not an insane man
tho he passed thru an ocean OF
troubles. His little girls are at
the home of Mrs. Lawrence west
Of Portal. Graves is allowed to
write one letter a week but asks
his friends to write often.
Peter johnson, who was brot

Aged Couple Fought.

Kindred Tribune: An action
was commenced in Judge Nc
Phee's court at the mill Monday
wherein Peter Smile, on COM
plant OF his wife, was arrested
on the charge OF assault with in
tent to kill. 1t seems that this
old couple (both Of them being
in their 6O's) have had trouble
for some time. They have lived
alone on their farm over in the
sand hills and they say there has
been times when the old man
beat his wife most brutally, do
ing everything but killing her.
The old lady could stand it no
longer and came to Kindred last
Saturday to seek legal advice
and assistance. Attorney Van
Arnam instituted this action
mentioned ABOVE, ana constable
illness brought the defendant to
court.
After the parties arrived in
court criminal procedure was
dropped and a compromise was
effected whereby the old couple
signed articles agreeing to sep
arate, and that they divide what
property they had equally. The
old man gave the old lady al
warranty deed Of half Of the
farm and agreed to divide the
personal property. 1t is unfortu-
nate that couple in their stage
Of life cannot live togetherpeace-
ably and enjoy life as they should
in their old age.

OF warning and advice to you,
oh Juniors, who will fill our plac-

Do not get the swell head be-
cause you are Seniors. Remem-
Der you are mortal. Do not look

Do not treat the Juniors as if
they were your equals, it makes
them concerted. DO not fail to
lend a helping hand to the
Sophomore's, they OF all others
are your friends. And above all
else do not fail to watch the ex-
preston on the faces Of your
teachers if they look cross, re-
frain from anything to provoke
their wrath. These five rules. if
faithfully followed, will give you
a pleasant and profitable Senior
year. And now, dear Juniors,
enjoy to your utmost your in
heritance receive it as it is given
