smooth and glistening surface and
jolly crowds of skaters have been i'm
proving it to the utmost. On some of

plainly visible under the ice and some
who have seen have incurred the dis

the liability of squaring accounts with
the game warden for law violations
by digging holes in the icy surface
and lifting the helpless fish out
Many of the fish appear to be dead
but it is said that they will take or

WOULD SHUT OUT
NORTHERN TELE-
PHONE COMPANY.
City Council Refuses to Allow That Con-
Germ to Enter City Over Its Own
Lines. Company Threatens to Shut
nin0t Off From Communication.

The City Council, Monday night
refused to allow the Northern
Telephone Company a franchise
to enter Minot, and that COM
pany now threatens to cut Minot
off all together from communica-
ton to the outside world as far
as the telephone is concerned !,
unless the council reconsiders it's
action: The Northern Telephone
Company is doing simply an en-
ormous business, but to reach the
city has to pay toll to the Minot
Light and Telephone Company.
Naturally this is the source of a
great deal OF revenue to that
concern, and they do not like the
idea OF the Northern Telephone
Company entering the city over
it's own lines. The Northern R51e-
phone Company proposes to
erect a handsome brick block
and move the offices from Botti-
neau to Minot, in case the fran
chise is granted. The Indepen-
dent believes that the councilhas
made a grave mistake.
The company, in case the city
does not grant the franchise,
may enter the city over the right
of way of the Great Northern or
or over private property.

their hearing was held before
Judge Goss. They were charged
with conspiracy, with an attempt
to defraud Fred J. knorr. As
no evidence could be shown that
the men were guilty of this charge
and so they were discharged.
The Independent readers will
remember that Knorr stated
that these men had given him
beer which made him drunk, after
which he was induced to sign his
name to papers giving his proper
|ty over into the hands of the
Western Implement Co. He said
that he believed he was signing
| for only $4,000 worth:of We St
ern Implement stock, whereas he
now owns $4,000 worth. of it.
1t is said that Knorr brought
this action against the three
men, because he feared that he
had laid himself liable, and W as
advised that this was the best
method of getting out OF the
difficulty.
Manager Shepard informs us
that the Western Implement Go.
is here to stay and feels rather
jubilant over the result of the
trouble.

There is plenty OF money in the

it's history, and it's easy to add
new subscribers, as we'll as to in
duce old ones to pay up all ar
rearages, and away ahead. One
man paid up five years the other
day.
Each contestant should re-

holding back votes, her oppo-

No one has a sure thing in this
contest. There promises to be a
''hot time in the old town.! the

it will be here the night of Dec.

they had promised the Inde-
