truth concerning the matter. Upon
investigation it has been found that
the circumstances are about as fol-
lows:
A shipload of women were brought
from the island of Martinique and
turned over to the laborers who had
come from that island and the island
of Jamaica, and made by the latter
their common law wives, in some cases
it being even claimed that they were
the women with whom they had been
living before in Martinique. The bring
ing of the women 10 the canal zone
was the work of those who have charge
of the hiring of the iaborers, and was
done with the purpose of making the
latter content to stay and work on the
canal. In fact, it was stated that If
the laborers could not live upon the
isthmus under the same conditions
which surrounded them in Jamaica
and Martinique they would not re-
main.
1t ic contended on the part of those
responsible for bringing the women to
the isthmus that there is no question
of immortality involved, for the woman
with whom a man is living is regard
ed as his wife without any marriage
ceremony. In fact these laborers de-
clare for two reasons they object to
ceremonial marriage. One is that it
costs too much, because of the fee and
the better furniture and clothes the
woman would insist on having, which
would average about s65. The other
reason is that a woman who makes a
good common law wife thinks she
owns a man after a ceremony, and no
matter what she does he cannot get
rid Of her. To keep the upper ha1d
the man prefers to be able to put the
woman out of the house if she does
not behave.
AS soon as information as to the
state of affairs reached the ears Of
Gov. Magoon Immediately began in
vestigation, and issued orders to the
zone police to make canvass and re-
port the number of unmarried couples
living as man and wife and to urge
such to get married as soon as posi-
BILE Orders were at the same time sent
to the board of municipal judges, most
of which are composed of native Pan
amanians, to cooperate with the po-
lice to the same end. T. was then that
a peculiar and rather amusing compli-
cation to the problem was discovered.
The secretary of the board replied that
it would do its best, but there was not
much hope of success for every mem
Der of the board had a wife but was
never married ceremonially and didn't
want to be.
But the American judges on the 18TH
mus say it is impossible to recognize
such social condition as legal in the
naturally resultant cases that are null
tiplying in their courts, and that seri-
Gus trouble is bound to come, for all
the women brought over thus far are
not behaving well, and good many Of
the men are showing indecision in
making a final choice Of common
law spouse.

COUNTY FAIR,

A county fair will be held at
Wahpeton early in the fall. The
date will not be set until cir
cult is completed for a series of
races which will take place in
Grand Forks, Niayville, Fargo
and Wahpeton. About $500
in purses will be awarded.
The management wishes
every farmer who has good
field of grain or vegetables to-
select out a sample bundle
measuring about 6 or Z inches
in diameter. Prizes will be
given for the best samples. no
matter whether they are wheat,
oats, rye, barley, flax, corn,
timothy, clover, bronze grass.
spelts. apples or potatoes or
any other paying crop.
The prize-winners probably
will need to collect their
samples right away. before the
grain is cut and just before it
is ripe. Exhibits can be left at
the Office of B. F. Lounsbury at
Wahpeton.
While tie prizes will be
worth working for, it is hoped
that every farmer and citizen
will make a showing of his
grain for the sake Of the gener-
al good. With state aid for the
fair, which will come after the
year, the exhibition will be a
permanent institution. Proper
ty-owners will help make their
own fair a success bv furnish
ing exhibits, and the fair will
help raise the value of the farm
lands as we'll as give all of us
rew ideas of how to farm bet
ter.

HANK1NsoN BOY SHOT

Otto Boldt, a 14-year-old boy,
was seriously injured about
noon Tuesdao by the accident
al discharge of q shotgun on
the Backhaus farm one mile
south of town. The large mus
sells of his right arm were torn
away and q ragged wound
made in the armpit.
+ With his father, Herman
Boldt, the young man had
driven with a water tank to the
Backhaus farm, taking with
him a double barrelled shotgun.
He attempted to stick the gun
through the hole in the top of
the tank to save carrying it,
when the hammer caught Oh
the eide of the opening aud the
weapon was discharged with
the above result. The injured
boy was brought to town at
once and was very weak from
loss of blood by the time the
hospital was reached, some of
the large blood vessels having
been severed. Dire. Spottswood
and Young dressed the wounds
and it is thought the arm will
be saved if blood poisoning
can be prevented. He is doing
we'll at this writing.
This should prove a lesson in
the matter of allowing children
to use firearms, and the only
wonder is that more accidents
have not occurred in the past
when the laxity of parents is
considered.
