WILL INSTALL CENTRAL
ENERGY SYSTEM
In the City. Grant County Tele-
phone Company Directors
Meet and Transact Busi-
ness. Will Also RAISE
Rents.

Milbank is to have one of the
finest telephone systems in the
state-the new central energy
system, if the calculations and
resolutions adopted by the
board of directors of the Grant
County Telephone company do
not miscarry. This was deem
ed advisable as it could be done
at the present time much cheap
er than later on. While the first
cost would be a little more it was
a case where the patrons would
receive more for their money
and have the very best there
was, The central energy sys-
tenn does away with the party
using a phone having to ring up
central or ring off when through.
BY taking down the receiver
central is called and when the
same is hung up central is noti-
fed you a1e through.
The board adopted res olu-
tion raising the price Of rent to
both stockholders and renters.
Hereafter stockholders in the
country and living in this city
will be charged 81 month the
stockholders saving 20 per
cent and renters 10 per
cent discount if paid year
~ in advance. Business
houses and professional men in
Milbank will have to pay So a
month with the privilege of saw
ing 20 per cent if the stockhold-
ers pay their rent one year in
advance. Renters may save 10
per cent by paying their rent
one year in advance. People in
outside villages will be charged
$3.50 a month subject to the
same discounts as this city.
These rates and rules went into
effect the first of February.
The board of directors discuss

provements fully before decid-
/ ing just what to do. They did
not desire to add any unnecessary
expense to the construction of
the line-but they want the best
there is. The central energy
system costs but trifle more il

the company gets a larger

of cream made ia, 219 pounds Of
butterfat; paid it's patrons 80
cents for four per cent milk, the
total amount being $26, 1890.
Watertown was the only other
creamery in the state that paid
as high as Milbank. They also
paid CSC. Stockholm paid a good
price as usual and is second to
the twoabove named creameries,
paying 97c.
The report also gives the num-
ber of cows in Grant county, two
years old and over at 5,447 in
1900, and 6, ,915 for 1905.
The total amount of patrons to

FOR EMBEzzLEMENT
There Are Two of Them to
Come Up Before the Dis
trict Court at Fargo.

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 12.-There are
but ten more criminal cases to be tried
in the district court at this term.
Judge Pollock is exerting every effort
possible to have all the criminal cases
on the calendar tried before the holi-
days. The balance of the criminal
cases will not consume very much
time and it is expected that the docket
will be cleaned up by the last of next
week or the early part of the follow
ing week.
Two embezzlement cases have been
set for the latter part of this week,
which will follow the case of Eli Nog-
giles, charged with assault and battery.
The first case to follow the Noggles
case is that of Eli. Simme, Syrian
charged with ENLIGHTENMENT of about
$50 from the Great Northern Railroad
Co. During last summer, he with an
other Syrian, bought tickets from Bay.
ruth to Fargo which were sent to Bay.
ruth to be used by their wives. When
the tickets reached Bayruth the wom-
en- refused to come to America and
Sine went to the ticket agent and de-
manded his money returned Each had
paid $11O for the tickets and the tick
ct agent gave Sine 500 which was
part of the money that was returned
and orderd him to pay $50 of the same
to his partner. Instead of paying over
half of the amount to his partner he
left Fargo with the whole amount and
the railroad company was Obliged to
pay the partner $50. Slime was final
ly arrested in the northern part of the
state and brought back to this county.
His defense will be that he had right
to the money turned over to him anu
that the railroad company is still in
debted to him for SO.
The case to follow this will be that
against E. E. Whitney, charged with
embezzling SIS from Medically, who
runs a dray line here. Whitney and
Medically entered into an agreement
whereby the latter was to furnish a
team and wagon and Whitney was to
care for the team and turn over half
that he made in draying. 1t is
charged that Whitney collected SIS for
work done and went to Cooperstown
where he was arrested several weeks
ago.

THE GRAND JURY FILES REPORT
They Find that the County Jail is in
Very Good Condition.

The Grand Jury has filed its re-
port with the clerk of court and it is
as follows:
We, the grand jury, having finished
our labors, while examining the Office
and Offices, we find a general COM
plant as to the electric lights, also
they should be re-distributed in diff
ferent parts of the offices.
We also find that in the Register of
Deeds Office the books are wearing
out quite fast and should be recover
ed with canvas.
We find everything in the Jail in
good shape excepting the basement
thereof which needs considerable re-
pairing and would recommend that
a portion of said basement be turned
into vegetable cellar. The ceiling
portion of the basement should be
covered with sheet iron to protect it
against fire.
Complaint has also been made by
different officers of the Court House
that the heating plant chimney is not
within fifteen or twenty feet as high
DIS IL SilOulu Ne, anu therefore SeQQS
the volume of smoke against the up
per portion of the court house and

We also find that there is some re-

of the sheriff's residence. All the
foregoing changes and repairs we
recommend be made at the earliest
convenience of the county commits
sioners.
We examined the Jail portion and
find the same neat and clean and the
prisoners seemingly satisfied.
All of which is most respectfully
submitted.

SHOOTING |R0NSARE
USED NEAR
MANOAN
Homesteaders Mix-The Man
Who Used Gun Tried to
Break Into Jail.

Mandan, N. D., Dec. 12.-The Flash
err community is all torn up over a
little shooting affair that was unex-
pectedly pulled off down in that neigh
bOrhood last Sunday evening and
fierce criminal prosecution may result.
Though a good deal of blood was
stirred up and shed,yet up to this time
no death has actually resulted, and it
is likely that the actual damage will
be confined to lame arm and injured
wrist. st
Martin Schwendling is a homestead.
err living near Flasher, whom reports
would have it, is more or less of bad
egg-who has had way of terroriz-
ing his neighbors, putting his family
out of doors and flying to pieces in
tantrums, when under the influence of
liquor.
John Fischer is an old timer who
had sheep ranch on the site of the
present flourishing village of Flasher
and still resides on claim near by.
Though decent, peacable citizen, it
has been more than suspected that at
times he has been willing to furnish
liquid refreshments to the many way
farers who pass his house in going ari
coming, and it is possible that this
failing Of his, taken with the failing
of Schwendling may have had some
thing to do with the occurrences about
to be related.
It seems that last Sunday Schwend-
ling went to the Fischer place and
got into trouble-perhaps was looking
for trouble when he went-and found
it. He first had a nose pulling match
with Fischer and later got mixed up
With Kelly Wright, another neighbor
then and there present-and butting
in-and getting the worst of it all
around, and being out of doors, he
seized piece of two-by-four scant-
ling and began smashing in the win
dows of Tischler's house, meanwhile
accompanying his acts with vitriolic
language of the unprintable sort which
makes the atmosphere fairly blue
with blasphemy.
Fischer stood for the bombardment
until Schwendling began breaking in
the glass of the windows of the room
where his children were sleeping,
when he and Wright came out of the
house and yelled to Schwendling to
stop 1t and go away. The latter, so it
is claimed, then came at Fischer with
the scantling uplifted and breathing
threats of dire vengeance, and Tisch-
Ter pulled a revolver and shot Schwen-
ding twice, one shot taking effect in
his shoulder and the other in his
wrist.
Schwendling wasn't so badly hurt
but what he could make his way home
where he is now slowly recovering
from the effects of his escapade.
Fischer came into town and
tried to, get somebody to arrest
him for the crime and hung around all
day Monday hoping to break into Jail
Finally some of Schwendling's folks
came to town and swore to the COM
plant, charging Fischer with the
crime of assault and intent to kill and
the matter came on for hearing Tues
day morning before Magistrate Moves
but though Fischer was ready for
trial and anxious to proceed, yet the
prosecuting witness was hardly in
shape to appear and at the request of
the states attorney the preliminary
hearing was set for the 2Sth instant.
