"NOTHING GOOD
FROM MINoT."

The business men from Minot
contributed to a fund of nearly
5000 and sent the Minot High
School band to Grand Forks Fri
day night where they played
Saturday at the Interscholastic
track and field meet of the state.
This was the greatest advertise
ment Minot has had forlong time.
The band gave an enjoyable con-
cert on the business streets of
Grand Forks Saturday noon.
From all sides could be heard
good words for the boys and
their leader, Prof. Wolfe. Many
had an idea that nothing good
could emanate from Minot.
Those who were at Grand Forks
Saturday have a different opinion
OF the coming metropolis OF the
state.
The band was headed by a big
banner, "This is the High School
band OF Minot, the Metropolis OF
the Northwest. Many business
men expressed themselves as not
being surprised at Minot's
growth when backed by business
men who would go into their own
pockets to advertise their city.

THE MURDER CASE
AT TOWNER.

Atty. Blaisdell and Atty. De-
noyer are at Towner this week
defending Carl Olson, who is
charged with the murder Of Paul
Peterson, near Balfour last fall.
He is charged with murder in the
first degree. The Minot attor-
neys are making a hard fight
and while evidence points strong
ly towards his guls they hope
to cause the disagreement OF the
Jury at least, and perhaps get
their client convicted OF horse
stealing. Olson confesses to the
stealing of two of Peterson's
horses. Peterson's four horses
were stolen, two OF which were
found at Cooperstown. 1t car
not be proved that Olson had
anything to do with these two
horses and there is where the
rub comes in. Olson ate supper
within half a mile OF Peterson's
shack the night Of the murder
and came into Balfour about
ten o'clock that night with two
of the horses. He is a married
man thirty years OF age.
1t is likely that all OF the evil
dence will be in Thursday and
that the case will go to the Jury
that night.

Three Inches of
Rain Fell Monday.

The entire Northwest south as
far as Harvey, was visited by a
terrific rain storm Monday after.
noon and Monday night, three
inches of rain falling in the vici-
nifty of Minot. Little wind &C.
companied the storm. Great
good was done to the growing
crops, for the ground was soaked
up to a depth of several feet.
Some damage was done in Minot.
The water ran down the coulees
and washed a large hole in the
foundation OF The new building
which is being erectedfor Spriggs
Bros. for a plumbing establish
ment. The basement was filled
with seven feet of water and the
floor raised. The floor will have
to be reconstructed. Smith &
Mankins bicycle shop was food
ed. d. H. Lord, the contractor
last $50 worth of cement.

Wolfe Is Given
A High Honor

Supt. S. Henry Wolfe, who at
tended the meeting of superin-
tendents and principals Of the
high schools of the state at Grand
Forks Saturday. demonstrated
that Minot's influence in state
educational matters must be felt
from henceforth. Wolfe gained
two points, which places all kinds
OF feathers in his cap. Hereafter
pupils OF the high school must
study drawing and music anu
there will be given full credit for
their work, the same as though
they were studying algebra or
the other studies. Heretofore,
music and drawing have been
constant courses, butpupils have
not been credited with the work
they did. Mr.. Wolfe introduced
this motion and was supported
by Prof. Kennedy, the head OF
the teachers department. of the
State University. While many
pupils who study music can not
learn to sing well, they can learn
the technique and this will bene-
fit them.
What constitutes a high school
course in algebra in the state
has never been defined plainly.
AS a result, some students &C.
quired a more complete know
ledge Of algebra than other pu-
pills in other schools. Pres. Mer-
rifield appointed a committee to
define suchj a course for all the
schools, and Prof. Wolfe heads
the committee. The other men,
bers OF this committee are Supt.
Schmidt OF jamestown, Supt.
Godward OF Hillsboro, Prof.
Chandler, the head OF the Mathe-
NAUTICAL department Of the state
university, and Superintendent
Berg OF Larimore.

PRISONER MAKES
DESPERATE ATTACK.

Hugh Hunter, a prisoner who
has been confined IN the county
jail ten months for pigging, will
soon be given his liberty and is
given a good deal of freedom.
He is let out around the court
house yard to do odd jobs. The
other day he strolled down into
the basement OF the old court
house and discovered some dis
carded music. Hugh is must
cal fellow and pondered over
them an hour or two. The
sheriff sounded the dinner bell
but Hugh did not appear.
Could'it be possible that he had
fled? A search was instituted
at once. Minot was secured but
Hugh Hunter had escaped.
After a time Hugh became hung
ry and strolled up into the jail
and took his place with the rest
OF the birds. The sheriff was
somewhat surprised to return
and find Hunter making a despe-
rate attack upon pork and beans.

G. E. Stropp has opened a car
penter shop in the front end OF
the old Optic building opposite
the BoveY-Shute Lumber yard
and is prepared to do any kind
OF cabinet work. He is making
a speciality OF building frame
houses and wants to figure with
you if you areintending to build.
Mr.. Stropp bears a reputation
for doing good honest work at
prices that are right.
In the same building, W. c Den
mis- has opened a paint shop and
will do any kind OF carriage
painting, and shop work, paper
hanging, calcimining, fresco
work, house painting etc.

1t is now a certainty that Mi
not's Fourth OF July celebration,
will be a very big affair, no doubt
the biggest in her history. A
meeting Of the various commit
tees Vas called at Edwards,
Woods office Tuesday night. In
absence OF Alfred Blaisdell, chair
man, Chas Grow, presided.
1t was unanimously agreed
that little could be done in the
way of final arrangements until
the financial committee had gone
to work and canvassed the city.
This is being done to-day and
the committees will meet again
Friday night, when the various
sums OF money will be appor-
toned. Last year something
over $1,000 was raised. This
year the amount should run up
to $4,000.
Several plans were talked over
for the various amusemenus.
Base ball will be a feature. Capt.
Hagenstein Of the Great Northern
team reports having secured ex.
cellent grounds on the North
side west of the cemetery and
work has been begun on the
skinning Of the grounds. It is
likely that two outside teams
will play in the forenoon and
Minot will play the winner in the
afternoon. Hagenstein says that
the teams from Berthold, Carpio,
Granville. Sherwood, MOhall,
Anamoose and Williston are
very anxious to play the Minot
team.
Some are in favor Of a balloon
ascension. 1t will take 1925 to
get good balloonist, but one
will perhaps be secured.
There is some talk of securing
famous diving horses or a high
diver. 1t is certain that some
great attraction will be secured
regardless of the cost.
The contest OF the bands will
be a big thing. Only bands out
side of Minot will compete. The
winner will take a big prize, the
sum to be announced later. Each
competing band will begiven the
same selection to practice and

LARGE SUM OF MONEY FOR
MINOT'S CELEBRATION.

ing The People A Good Tine-Dr.

all will play it separately, then
the entire aggregation OF must
clans will play it together. The
band contest will probably take
place in the square in the evening
before the fireworks.
It is agreed to arrange for a
good bowery. Many will come
to Minot on purpose for this
pleasure. The speaking in the
morning can be held from the
bowery.
The executive committee re-
ported the selection Of a speaker.
Dr.. Forbes, an eminent devine
from Philadelphia will be with
us that day. He is counted one
of the greatest orators in the
country.
The newspaper boys OF this
part of the state will be remem-
bered. It is proposed to extend
to them all a cordial invitation
and secure headquarters for
them, for their special entertain
ment.
There will no doubt be a big
tennis tournament. People from
all parts OF the state are expected
to attend this tournament. Big
prizes will be awarded the win
ner.
James Scofeld will be marshal
of the day and he has appointed
three deputies, James Briggs,
Judge Davis and j. E. Smith.
The INDEPENDENT cannot give
a. complete account OF the events
OF the day, but will do so as soon
as possible. There will be horse
racing, bicycle racing, foot races,
and all kinds of smaller sports,
each of which will secure a good
purse, for the winner. The old
fashioned CREASED pole. catching
the CREASED pig, a tug OF war and
a dozen of other events will not
be forgotten. A Fourth OF July
is not complete without these
There is talk OF another barbe-
que There will not be a minute
in the whole day but what some
thing lively is going on and it is
expected that in order to CON-
plete all OF the events, some OF
them will have to be pulled off at
the same time in different places.

TRIES TO BEAT
OUT HIS BRAINS.

Earnest Helgel, a tramp placed
in the Harvey Jail for being drunk,
tried to commit suicide by but
ting out his brains against the
stone wall of his cell. Not being;
able to do this, he tried to cut
his throat with a piece OF glass
broken from the window pane.
He tore his clothing to shreds.
The fellow evidently bothered
with a big dose of snakes.
