SEARCH SLOuGAS FOR
BODY OF BISHOP.
Minot Man Who Disappeared Sew
eral Months Ago May Have Been
Murdered-Mrs. Bishop in the
SweatBox Disappearance OF
Farmer Strange.

What has become Of a Minot
citizen named Bishop S puzzling
the authorities these days and
his disappearance looks a little
bad for several parties concerned.
Bishop lived with his wife and son
on the Van Fleet farm three
miles southeast of Minot and
about two months ago Mrs:
Bishop notified Officer Kimball
that her husband had disappeared
and wanted him to try and To-
cate him. Mr.. Kimball under
stood that the man had skipped
out, leaving his family. This
may be the case, yet the sus-
picions Of the officers have been
aroused and a search is being
made for the body of Bishop.
States Attorney McGee sent for
Mrs. Bishop and she was ques-
toned regarding her missing
husband. So far she has told a
straight forward story, but
seemed rather inclined not to
trouble herself to learn the
whereabouts Of her missing
partner. Neighbors say that
Mrs. Bishop has taken the trouble
to ask if the sloughs in the neigh
borhood of the farm ever dried
up and this has led them to be
a little suspicious also. States
Attorney McGee and Judge Muir
ray ordered graphing hooks
made Wednesday forenoon and
that afternoon dragged the
sloughs in the hopes of finding the
body. Bishop may have wandered
away and drowned himself in the
slough or he may have been
killed and his body thrown in
them. Bishop did not get along
well with his sons. When he
left he had on his old clothes and
didn't seem to make any prepar-
ations for taking his departureV
The case looks like foul play.
The Independent believes that
the man is dead.

Grip Thieves.

Two land seekers from South
Dakota arrived in Minot Monday
evening and left their grips lad
en- with clothing in the waiting
room of the Great Northern de-
pot while they went to the Scan
dinavian hotel to catch a wink of
sleep. In the morning when they
went to get their grips they had
been taken. Officer Kimball went
on a still hunt in the jungles
west Of town Tuesday evening
and found the missing grips, but
one of them had lost a pair of
new shoes, and another a pair of
new trousers and an overcoat.
Another grip was stolen from
the depot and this will likely be
found in the brush.

ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
FOR SEWERAGE.
A Good Sytem to be Installed by
September = Arbitration COM
mittee Appointed to Settle City
Hall Difficulty.

The city council held a long
session Monday evening and did
some important business. The
matter of the city hall was taken
up and an arbitration committee
appointed. The city choose J..
T. Tasker, an architect while Mr..
Dinnie chose his foreman, Fred
McGulpin. These two men chose
Martin Jacobson as the third
man and the committee is now
trying to arrive at a just con-
clusion. We need the city hall
and it is to be hoped that the
settlement can soon be made.
The councilmen have so much
business on hand that many of
the members favor a meeting
each evening next week between
the hours of 8 and 1920. These
one o'clock sessions are getting
monotonous to many.
In this issue Of the Independ-
ent will be found the notice for
bids for the construction Of the
sewer system in this city, which
will give all the information des-
ired by any interested parties.
Bids will be received up until
June 4, and the successful bid
der must enter into a contract
with the city within ten days
after the bids are accepted, and
the system must be completed
within ninety days. We will
therefore see a sewer system in
stalled before the middle Of Sep
tember. Of course it will be i'm
possible to extend the system to
all parts of the city this year
but we should feel satisfied to
get the work started. It is likely
that none of the $21, 900 which
was raised by bonding the city
last year will be used, but that
the cost Of the sewer will be
taxed up to the property bene-
fitted.
