County Should Oreanize.

Dickinson Press: Paul Bohn Of
Mott, was in Dickinson on Monday
Mr.. Bohn has been located in Hettin-
ger county for about two years. He
has 800 lambs which are wintering
we'll, and he feels that he made good
move when he took up cheap land in
the county south and engaged in sheep
growing. Regarding the organization
of Hettinger county, Mr.. Bohn says the
settlers need schools and local gov
eminent and he thinks that the time
has come to organize, but he says that
1t should be done along conservative
lines and the people who have large
property interests in the county,
should participate in the work of Sc
curing the organization.

JAILoR TELLS STORY.
An Account Of How Howard Made His
Escape.

The fact that j. H. Howard was not
taken to the penitentiary at Bismarck
by Sheriff Sveen, Nelson county, has
not been reported to Judge Fisk, of
the district court, who sentenced him.
to a term Of two years. The mandate
4 of the court was that the prisoner be
taken to Bismarck, and while it is we'll
known that Howard made his escape
from the Jail at Lakota, some report
will necessarily have to be made to
the court, and it is rumored that some
excellent excuse will have to be forth
coming when the official return is
made to the court. U. g. Farmhouse,
the Waterman in charge of the Jail at
the time that Howard escaped, gives
this version of the affair:
about midnight on Wednesday
night, as was locking the prisoners
in their cells, Howard said that his
slop pail needed emptying. told him
to bring it out OF the cell and empty
1t. AS he came out I unlocked the
jail door and stepped aside SO as to
follow him out. He went to the cor
ner OF the building and in a flash had
thrown away the pail and lodged
around the corner of the Jail building.
He disappeared SO quickly that 1 did
not have time to draw my gun, al
though I was only ten or twelve feet
away. There was another prisoner in
the Jail, SO went back, put on my
overcoat. and overshoes, and, locking
the door started to search for How
ard. He had disappeared, so i'm
mediately notified the sheriff and we
searched all night for him. 1 would
willingly give any amount I could af-
ford to have him back, as he alone
will be able to prove that he received
no help from me. I never thought
for moment that a man having only
light summer underwear and in his
shirt sleeves would attempt to escape
when the weather was below Zero"

TO IMPROVE GROUNDS.
Military Reservation at Rock Island to
Be Brushed and Parked.

Devils Lake Journal: The new
board having charge of the military
reservation at Rock Island Is deter
mined to improve the grounds, though
the legislature failed to pass the bill
appropriating money for this purpose.
This winter a space of from 200 to 400
yards in every direction from the
clearing which is used for parade pur-
poses, is to brushed and parked. This
will add much to the already attrac-
tive appearance of the grounds. The
present bord believes that If the wood
taken from this space is properly
handled it will pay for the cost of all
the work.
A stable for the use of the horses
of officers during camp is being built
this winter. This has become neces-
sity. The stable will be 24x56 feet
with a shed roof, and will accommo-
date mounted officers horses for the
regiment and headquarters.

Hospitable Established by the Luther.
an Church.

Rugby Tribune: The location for
the hospital to be established by the
Sheyenne kreds of the United Nor

been decided and that location is Rug
by, North Dakota. The decision was
made by a majority of only one vote
and the contest was closed from start
to finish.
The representative district meeting
which decided the matter was held at
Churchs Ferry Wednesday of this
week and was attended by thirty-five
delegates from the various congrega-
tions of the district. Three cities were
candidates for the location, namely,
Rugby. Churchs Ferry and Bottineau,
and although there was at first some
difference in the amount Of money
bonus offered for the location it was
finally decided that all should offer the
same and the amount was placed at
$4,000, which put all on equal foot
ing. It was decided by the meeting
that an aye and nay vote be taken by
roll call and four ballots were taken

that unless someone should give in
there would be no decision made and
the opportunity for the church secur-

Y When the session was reconvened
one Of the delegates moved that

was carried. BY this secret ballot

HOW NORDIN DIED.
Anthentic Account Of the Death Of the
Reseau County Man.

~
Following is correct account of the
death Of John Nordin of which SO
many stories have been circulated.
Last Sunday John Nordin, a farms
.er living near Williams, took his rife
and went into the woods adjoining
his home, thinking to bring home a
rabbit. Night came and he did not re-
turn and the family became anxious
and when morning came the wife sent
her eleven-year-old son to the neigh
bors to ask advice and assistance. A
zneighbor named Kelly and another
named Stone at once set out on the.
track accompanies by the eleven-year-
old son of the lost man. About the
middle of the afternoon on Monday
the party came upon the body Of Mr.
aNordin seated upon the root of an
supturned tree his rifle resting upon
his knees with the chamber contain
ing an empty shell. The body was
taken to the home of the dead man,
and word at once sent to the coroner
at Bemidji. ~
4 It appears that Nordin had climbed
upon the root of the tree presumably
ito rest, and sat upon the roots with
his feet on the trunk. The theory Of
the accident Is that he had rested the
butt Of his gun upon the trunk Of the
tree; that It slipped on and in recov-
sering and lifting It up the hammer
had caught and was drawn partly
back. recoiled and set on the cap. The
bullet entered the abdomen and came
out OF the back below the shoulders,
passing through the vitals. IA s.
Nordin was an industrious and re-.
spected member Of the community
near Williams and his tragic death;
has cast a gloom over the. people Of
the neighborhood, who feel 9 deep
sympathy for his 4bereayed wife and
i've children. Nordin was about 40
years old.
