A week ago, G. M. Olsen, of this
place, had his boat stolen and no.
tees were sent both up and down
the river. Last Wednesday, word
was received that the boat had
been recovered at Bismarck by a
crew of men who were working on
the docks and two men taken into
custody. Deputy Sheritfs Patter-
son and Seltz We're instructed to
bring the two men to Wasllburn.
On their arrival in Bismarck, they
went in search Of the men who
were in charge of the prisoners and
they were found at the landing but
informed the officers that the pris-
oners had been allowed to go up to
the city without guards as they
promised to return. A search was
made i'll the city, the railway yards
and other places, but no men an
swering the description could be
found. The boat was recovered.
The men had not been turned over
to the Burleigh county officials.
Two men were discovered Tues
day-out in the Gus Benz neighbor-
hood, neal the northern line of this
county, acting in a suspicious way.
They had a string of horses, and
were apparently avoiding observa-
ton. Atelephone message was sent
in from the section house at the
Soon. P. crossing, and Sheriff
Shier, John Roop and DR.. Roop
went out there. They got the got
men and horses and started them
for Hazleton; the men riding on
horseback and the captors riding
in a buggy behind the prisoners,
the latter leading the horses. It
was getting quite dark when the
sheriff's team balked and could not
be urged forward. The men got a
short distance ahead and the -sher-
if halted them. Instead of hating
they cut the led horses loose and
galloped off across the prairie. The
sheriff took a couple of shots at
them with his Winchester, but it
was too dark for target practice and
he missed them. The seven horses
were recovered, but the men are
still at large.-Emmons Co. Record.
Those who properly appreciate
the blessings of sunshine, can find
no spot on earth that will suit them
better than North Dakota. Where
Is there more sunshine than in this
state? A study of the weather re-
ports, showing the few cloudy days
will make them appreciate the bles-
sings we enjoy. Diogenes voiced
the desire of everybody when he
told the great Alexander to get out
of the sunshine. The old time pa
gan who worshipped the sun had
no mean religion. 1t is the great
benefactor of mankind. It gives
us the grass and flowers, the grain
and the roots; it brings the rain
that waters the earth; it causes the
rivers to flow and turns the wheels
of our factories. The mighty for
ests are incarnations of the sun.
The coal that warns us in winter
is only SO much buried sunlight.
The health that CLOVIS in the blood
the vigor and grace of the athlete,
all comes from the sun. During
the past few weeks, New York city
has been suffering from an epidemic
of cerebro-spinal meningitis, the
physicians have sought a remedy
in vain. The sufferings Of the
afflicted have been terrible, and the
children of the poor especially were
