new court house, though this would
be raising the question of county seat
fights and that is a dangerous PROPOSE

that the town Is putting In fine new

MET HIS DEATH
BY CREMATION
George Fellows, G. N. Conduc-
tor, Burned in a Car Near
Williston.
OFFICIALS SUSPECT A CRIME
Special to The Ev%.i.s Times.

Special to The Evening Times.
Williston, N. D., Aug. 24.-George
Fellows, the Great Northern conductor
who met his death yesterday by
cremation, will be buried tomorrow
and the remains are now here in
readiness for the funeral. Mr.. Fellows
was conductor of the local which left
Glasgow for this city.
At Bainville, the board was out for
orders. After getting the orders he
took them to the engineer who read
them and then pulled out. Fellows
stood by the train until it was we'll in
motion and then swung on.
At the train neared Snowdon, the
next town after leaving Bainville, and
only about seven miles distant, the en-
gineer noticed car on fire.
He saw that it would be necessary
to get the car of the main line in
order to keep the main track clear, so
the burning car was pulled in to the
side track and the section man and
his crew were aroused to help put out
the fire. Upon entering Fellows was
discovered in corner of the car.
The body was burned to a crisp and
1t would be impossible to identify Fell
lows from the remains.
1t is utterly impossible to conceive
of how the fire might have started ex-
cept by foul means.
1t is though that Fellows went to
the, way car and was getting the ma
terial ready for unloading at Snow
don, and while thus engaged was kill
ed by tramps and the car fired to COW
er up the crime.
Fellows was about so years old and
had been in the employ of the Great
Northern for about twelve years. He
leaves wief and several children to
mourn their loss. They reside in Will
liston.

"BACk TO THE LAND.

Minneapolis Tribune: The sonorous
admonition, Back to the land" was
invented to stimulate unsuccessful
residents of cities to seek the surer. if
less agreeable maintenance of farm
life. 1t might be used now to charac-
terize the rather remarkable tendency
of persons who have been unsuccess-
full with other investments, or think
their little boards insecure in savings
banks, to turn back to real estate.
AS people get away from the tolls
and privations of farm life their i'm
aginations are more easily excited by
tales of its pleasant experience and
sure rewards. So when people have
had time to forget the discomforts of
land poverty and the heavy burden OF
assessment and taxation. they are
more easily stimulated again by en-
hortations on the solidity and security
of land investment.
1t is perfectly true that land cannot
disappear like stolen money or Sc
curities, though it can lose it value
quite as completely as any deprecated
stock. But few other mining stocks
have the painful property of becoming
more expensive to own, the more diff
ficult they become to sell. That seems
to be peculiar to land in cities, whose
officials and contractors must make
living out of street work.
Whatever the considerations pro
and con, it is certain that real estate
investment has been drawing funds
from the banks and the security mar
ket for two or three years. This be-
gan after the shock of 1903 and has
gone on with increasing force. In the
neighborhood of New York city there
is boom in suburban property, espec-
tally on the side of Long Island, that
would make a western town dance on
its head.
This undoubtedly has helped the
dullness in the bond market, and it is
credited with heavy Withdrawals from
savings banks. There are smaller
centers of suburban land speculation
all over the country, which are grad
.ually becoming continent in a general
tendency to buy land. The real estate
dealers of Chicago have felt this in
measure and declare that it has in
creased perceptibly since the savings
bank failure.
The workingmen of the country
have been making deal of money. If
they get 1t into their heads that no
Investment is safe but land, we shall
have boom indeed.

UNLUCKY FRIDAY.
Conductor Bronson Has Varied Bad
Luck On That Day.

LaMoure Chronicles: Trying to con-
vince Conductor Bronson that Friday
is not an unlucky day would be a
complete loss of time and effort. He
knows better. 1t was on a Friday
that Mr.. Bronson and his crew came
down from jamestown to take charge
of the Gackle run, and ever since that
fateful day trouble has been coming
in lunches. The first shot out of
the box the engine jumped the track;
then came the disasterous wreck of
last week, and Monday evening
brought the third disaster. A heavy
plank lying parallel with the rail at
the crossing north of Finch's lum-
Der office was Jared loose, and as the
engine backed over it the plank caught
a steam cock and ripped It on the
bottom of the boiler. The steam and
hot water gushed forth like a Vel
lowstone geyser, and in a short time
the locomotive was dead as a mack
erel." There was nothing doing until
the next, day-and delay of eighteen
hours is awfully trying on the nerves

A TOW MILL WOULD PAY.

Some time ago, The Evening Times
suggested the feasibility of the estab-
lishment at this point of tow mill for
the manufacture of tow from flax
straw. At that time it was our opinion
that such mill would pay and the
f1attering success of the one estab-
lished at Reynolds last year is evil
dence that it would be a good invest
ment. Last year, the Reynolds mill
declared dividend of 25 per cent
after deducting all expenses and fur
nishing ready market for the fax
grown in that section. A plant for
the manufacture of tow is not an ex-
pensive one. The Reynolds mill, in
GLIDING twenty acres of land, cost
about $4,000, and as stated has proven
a paying investment. Flax straw
brought about $500 per ton and there
can be from two to three bushels of
flax seed saved from the straw which
will pay for the cost of handling the
same. Farmers received $500 per ton
for straw last year, and prices will be
about the same this year. A tow mill
established here would draw from a
wide territory and that it would nav
we'll, at the same time being a great
accommodation to farmers, seems GER
tain. 1t would be we'll for some of
our investors to look into this propo-
sition.

LYNCHING AND LAW.

People of the north are interested
in the southern lynchings in the same
manner that they were interested in
the acts of the Mollie McGuires and
the Ku klux. 1t is one of the fester-
ing sores of the body polite which
must be removed by the surgeons
knife else it will in time infect the en-
tire body.
Northern journals have proclaimed
against the evil and northern orators
have denounced it in burning tones.
But it has gone on because the people
who are interested in the matter most
directly have not chosen to accept the
actions Of their courts and the opera
ton of their laws for the actions of
impassioned and frenzied mobs.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-08-24
1t is therefore with some feelings

1t is therefore with some feelings
of pleasure that the people who be-
lieve in fair trials and security of
human life learn that in North Caro-
lima, which next to Mississippi has
been regarded as one of the most pro-
lynching states of the south, that one
lyncher has just received a sentence
of fifteen years in the penitentiary for
his participation in the crime.
Following this came the public de-
claration OF the governor of that state
that in the future the state militia
would fire upon all mobs who sought
to summarily execute the will of the
few instead of the law of the many.
He also warns the people of the state
against the gathering at the jails in
times of excitement, as this is the
means by which the mobs are really
formed.
The principle of lynch law is too
much at variance with civilization and
the law of human right to need any
argument to prove its debauching
character upon the people and the
state which permits it. 1t is true that
the south is compelled to consider
crime for which much of the lynching
is done which the north knows little
of. 1t is the most heinous in the an
nails of crime. The victim deserves all
the care and protection possible to
shield her from the vulgar inquiries
that invariably mark the trial of GRIM
inals for this crime.
Aside from the fact that any GRIM
inal should have the protection of the
courts against false accusation, the
south has followed the very course
which has had the least restraining
effect upon the negroes who have per-
petrated these crimes. The negro is
by nature timid individual. In the
civil war colored troops could be de-
pended upon to charge through the
thickest leaden fires without falter-
ing, but did not have the nerve to hold
what they could secure. He will slash
his opponent with razor and then
flee from the scene of his crime with
out being pursued.
If instead of taking his life before
he has time to think of his crime, he
were left to brood over it in the con-
fines of prison, and if execution were
necessary as the punishment. to allow
him to contemplate his end from the
confines of the death cell and in the
presence of the death watch. he would
hesitate long before yielding to the
brutality which is responsible for the
crime.

SHEEP AND HORSES.

The wool growers of the west are
enjoying good times, their crop bring
ing good prices and the seasons for
two years being adapted to the sue
cess of the rancher. Sheep in the
central and eastern states have for
some time past up to two years ago,
been drug on the market other than
for mutton, and farmers got out of
the business as fast as they were able.
The sheep generally raised in Wis
consin, Illinois and the east were
merinos, their wool being fine and
very oily. 1t brought in latter years
very low prices, even down to 1Oc per
pound, and as the lambs of fine woods
are less hardy than those of the cots
void and shropshire, they bring lower
prices in market.
Sheep growers in the east became
discouraged and sold out. while in the
west, storms depleted the focks and
low prices for wool did the rest.
But things have changed. Wool is
up and conditions are improved. East
ern farmers conceived the idea of
breeding coarse wool sheep, the wool
always finding a ready market and
the mutton being the best.
Farmers began to work back into
sheep raising and prices for ewes and
lambs are high. This is but natural
sequence and an illustration of the
relative laws of supply and demand.
Sheep will remain at good price for
some time, until the country is over
stocked again at least, which will be
far in the future.
The same conditions apply to draft
horses. Good drafters today are worth
money and there is a dearth of them
A clean, young hourse of 14O0 pounds
is worth 5000. Three or four years
ago one could buy similar animal
for from 500 to $780, The farmers
quit breeding their mares and the sup
ply dropped off.
The country is growing and the
west wants horses for work in rail-
road construction, on the farm and In
other enterprises. The east needs
horses for the work incident to it's
industries and there is no mistake
made in breeding the mare for the
general purpose colt she will raise.
Sheep and horses are money these
days and the intelligent farmer will
recognize the opportunity.

His Vengeance.

The man that had loved and been re-
jected met her, five years after. on an
ocean liner. He had used the inter-
vening time so we'll that he was now
able to charter an entire stateroom.
She looked twenty, but it was even
ing.
You are quite famous, now" said
she, gazing into the black water be-
meath them. Three books and a five
act play isn't so bad, is it,"
THE critics said they were," he re-
piled.
This was sample Of the keen, sub
tie wit that had brought him to the
front.
She sighed and gradually switched
the talk on to woman's gentle influ-
ence on the destiny of man.
you were a great help to me-" he
said.
Her face glowed with pleasure.
II tried to influence you to good and
noble endeavor," said she, taking from

He leaned back against the rail.
Something in the pose reminded him
of Christy's man pastels.
Yes" he continued. "you were a
great help. When you jilt-that is
when you found we were uncOngenial,
1t stimulated my energies and rose"
He had waited five long weary
years to hand her this.
1t was his vengeance!
Tears welled in the soft blue eyes,
and her bosom rose and fell with the
ships motion.
How cruel you are!" she sighed.

my heart that you might receive that

Henrietta and her beau were on the

The grandfather's clock in the
broad hallway struck ten.

taking her aside and whispering con-
fidentially, II warn you not to keep

Then the old folks retired.
The grandfather's clock in the
broad hallway struck three.
"John," softly said an anxious,
motherly voice, "it's 8 o'clock. I hear
some one on the porch. I'm afraid
Henrietta hasn't come up stairs yet"
The irate father waited to hear no
more. Slipping into enough clothes
to make himself look respectable he
made his way cautiously down stairs,
opened the front door quietly and
was just in time to see dark mascu-
line form going down the front stoop
Sneaking forward, the parental foot,
hid within a heavy leather boot, shot
forward and sent the retreating figure
