Pembina counties after he had made
his escape from Jail.
Four crown witnesses we're examin-

horses and sleigh being driven into
Westhope on March IL and there
was only one man in the sleigh.
r. B. Willard, operator at West

with the horses and sleigh about IL
O'Clock on March IL. He afterwards
made a dicker with the prisoner for
his chattels amounting to $472 for
which he gave the prisoner a note.
w. J. McFarlane, Of the r. N. w. M.
p, told Of bringing the prisoner from
'Souris, N. D., to Deloraine, Man, on
March 10. The prisoner had. first OBJ
jected to coming with him, but after
wards consented. Prisoner told wit
ness that he was walking from Souris
to .Westhope and a man came along
with the horses and sleigh and invited
him to have ride, which he did: He
gave a minute description of the ap-
pearance of the owner Of the horses.

prisonment. Hansen was again
brought there on Oct. 80, and the Wit
ness related the exciting experience
of himself and the turnkey discover

dom. This was not all. Another and
similar attempt was made on the night
of Nov. s, file and screw driver hay-
ing been mysteriously secured. The
prisoner had been an all-round bad
man since coming to the Jail.
The counsels each occupied about
half an hour in addressing the jury.
The judges charge was summing up
of very convicting thread of evidence
against the prisoner.

Ferr, in Williams County, Meets
Death In Tragic Manner.

Williston, N. D., Nov. 15.-A fatal
accident occurred about twelve miles
south Of Williston. Ralph Raum, pro-
prietor of Raum's ferry, was return
ing late with four-horse load of
oats. The load became unmanage-
able going down long, steep hill
and Raum seems to have been drawn
or thrown down between the team and
the heavy wagon ran over his head,
crushing his face and breaking both
jaws and his neck twice. Death was
instantaneous.
Raum was an old timer and an ex-
pert horseman and the accident must
have resulted from the intense dark
ness. He leaves a wife to mourn his
death.
Atty. Aaron ]. Bessie of Williston
was riding on the load, but was unin-
jured.

Newspaper An Educator.

An editorial appearing in the Febru-
ary issue of the Colorado School Journal
reflects the impression of it's editor in
regard to newspapers as educators.
The article follows. Teacher and schol-
ar alike are working toward beneficial
ends while mutualizing newspaper and
school interests.
Zone educational agency of which we
take too little account, is the press of
the state. 1t is not the intention to dis
cuss how the newspapers educate the
public generally. That is matter
which is generally recognized and hard
to estimate. The direct benefit to the
schools through the aid of the press is
not so hard to judge. The use of the
columns of the local paper is every
where free to the school people. Man
ayers of papers recognize the value of
school items as news. The schools are
of interest to all good citizens. News
of the school even TO small personal
items are welcome. When school ques-
tions are up the papers discuss them
fully, and undoubtedly to the benefit of
the schools and of the community. The
JOURNAL is in receipt every week of
many columns of matter printed by the
papers Of the state on school topics.
That this is an aid to the schools in keep
ing up public interest. in advertising
school entertainments and in in forming
public opinion, there is no doubt. Wher-
ever paper is published, the people
should use it. The JOURNAL wishes to
acknowledge to the papers of the state
on behalf of the school people the great
aid they give US and to solicite closer
connection, feeling sure that it will be
OF mutual benefit

He was From Maine.

Quite recently friend of ours who
lives in Denver and has occasion to
travel Colorado quite extensively, was
in Chicago. While there he met man
from Maine and like all other easterners
who have never made it point to look
into matters, this man was laboring
under the belief that Colorado was a
waste of hills and dales and amounted
to nothing save some wonderful seem
cry. During the conversation remark
was made by the easterner in regard to
what Coloradoans did to occupy their
time. Our friend laughed and told him
that q good many of US were engaged
in raising fruit and other articles that
the east clamored for as being the very
best that is produced. The Manner
sneered. Fruit! Why what do you
raise in that line that ever comes east?"
"Well, III tell you" said our friend.
'I'll bet you a ten-lollar note that l
can prove to you in twenty minutes
that Chicago is using Colorado grown
stuff in all her principal restaurants and
that these restaurants are using it as a
drawing card on their bill of fares. !"
Another sneer from the easterner and
the bet was taken. So both repaired
to the nearest eating house. The wait
er came for the order. The man from
Denver asked him il they had any mel
ons. Eyes. we have home grown or
Rocky Ford. ''Well. where is Rocky
Ford?" asked our friend. "In Colora-
do said the waiter. The man from
Maine opened his eyes. Our friend con-
tinued: Have you any peaches?" he
asked the waiter. "Yes, sir. either
Michigan or Delta County" was the re-
ply. (which are the best" was asked.
delta County" replied the waiter.
'And where is Delta County," our per
sistent booster remarked. "Oh! that's
in Colorado, too, was the answer. Our
frien dwon the bet. And the easterner
now knows just few things about Col
orado that he never knew before.

$4,000 Sale.

other tract of land on Surface Greek

short period. Nearly hundred

CURED the past few weeks. The acre
age on the above sale was only eighty
