the west end of Second avenue, vester-
tesday morning, where it attacked the
baby daughter of MIR. and Mrs Bishop.

amuse itself. While the little one sat on
porch, the coon attacked her, biting her
toes, her foe and leg The child screamed
and the mother ran out on the porch,
and there saw the animal biting the
child. Then the mother screamed and
tried to frighten the brute away. She
was forced to give it several hard kicks,
however, before it would leave
Mrs. Bishops screams brought sereral
neighbors to her assistance. Lee Lacv
had a gun. and. after finding the coon,
which ran under culvert, he shot it.
The child had heen severely bitten in

Read is in Bad Condition.

Draymen are complaining on
account of the condition Of the
road near the mill. The refuse
which has been thrown in the
road makes it exceedingly hard
for a heavily loaded wagon to
pass. Soon farmers will be COM
ing to Minot with heavily loaded
wagons OF grain, we hope, and
unless the city provides good
roads, they cannot be blamed il
they head off in the direction OF
some other town. 1t is very poC1
economy for a city toputupwith
poor roads. The business men
of Minot should take some &C.
ton. Ii the city is too poor to
throw a little dirt on the road,
the Independent will head a sub
scription list with $1Oto see that
it is done.

The North Dakota exhibit at
the Worlds Fair continues to at
tract world wide attention.
There is no finer pottery shown
in the entire fair than is made
from North Dakota clay. This
exhibit will cause the investment
OF large sums Of money in this
state in this business. Lieuten-
ant Gov. Bartlett will order 200
tons Of Ignite coal to be sent to
the fair to be manufactured into
briquettes. The government will
install two briquetting plants.
There is never an hour in the

Lewis was Worked by Woman.

The 'rhurber case came up in
district court Friday. The case
proved to be quite interesting to
several including Mr.. Thurber.
His wife filed on a claim near
Ross and represented herself to
be a widow. Her husband had
already filed on a claim in Barnes
county and proved up on the
same. He then went to Canada
and took up another claim. 1t
therefore appears that the woman
had no right to file on the claim
near Rosa She has six little
children and had a hard time
getting along. Aneighbor named
Lewis looked after her wants and
she in turn gave him a bill OF
sale for three horses, sOmecattle,
wagon and other things. The
husband returned from Canada
and learning that his wife had
done this, proceeded to take the
same away with him. Lewis at
once saw that he had been played
for a sucker and swore out a
warrant for the arrest Of Thurber.
The man was arrested before he
reached Canada and brought to
| NinOt.

Thurber was naturally Joyous

did not do exactly right, but it
would be hard to punish him un-
