500 Line officials were here Tues
day arranging for storage grounds
for ties and rails to be used in their
extention west of this place. H. L
Laughlin, right-of-way agent, took
the initial step in securing the right
of way. He was very guarded in
his statements, but sufficient has
been learned to warrant the an
nouncement that the 500 will have
a branch line out of Flaxton and
reaching into the Crosby country
as soon as the work can be done in
the spring. Work of securing the
right-of-way will begin at once and
the material will be shipped this
winter SO that everything will be in
readiness to hustle the work. The
haste is said to be due to a deter
mination Of the 500 to head of the
Great Northern which is coming
this way from Mohall, and passing
through Flaxton, will reach into
the Williams c~ountry.-Fofnm.

Now that the town hall question
is settled, would it not be we'll to
take upthe question of water works
for Washburn. These needed i'm
provements will not be made unless
some hustling is done on the part
of our citizens. The town hall
proposition was long in reaching a
point where something tangible
would result therefrom, but when
a determined effort was made, it
was not long before the money was
raised and the contract let for the
the building. It will be the same
with other propositions, unless a
determined effort is made, nothing
will be accomplished. Who win

Prof. Ladd, state chemist, has
sent out $4,000 bulletins calling at
tention to!the pure paint law of this
state and containing an analysis of
the different kinds of paint upon
the market. According to Prof.
Ladd, there are several brands of
paint which may be legally sold in
the state after Jan. /, when the new
law becomes effective, but the ma
jority of the paint sold in the state
must be labeled according to the
analysis contained in the bulletin.
Some of the paint houses may bring
suit to test the constitutionality of
the paint law, but they may decide
it is too big..a proposition to attack
and make pure paint.-N. D. Cap
ital.

The tax records in the office of
the treasurer shows that there are
1900 personal property tax payers
in the county. Multiply this by
five, which is a very fair average
for a family, would give us a popu-

county is surely growing some, but
there is still more room for all who
want homes in the best section of
the state.

thing planned out and when the

DISTRICT COURT.

The adjourned term of district
court re-convened at the court
house Tuesday afternoon at two
o'clock. The trial of the case of
the state against August F. Eggert
and Walter Eggert was then re-
sumed at the point which it had
been left when court adjourned for
the holidays, December %. This
is the most IMPORTANT of the Grim
inal cases on the calendar, as to the
interest manifested and the length
Of the trial. The case involved a
point affecting the rights of home
steaders on government land, and
a statement Of facts may be of in
terest to our readers:
The defendants, father and son,
were charged with an assault with
a dangerous weapon with intent to
do bodily harm, and without justi-
fable or excusable cause, upon one
Fred Schaffer. The parties live
near Turtle Lake. John Schaffer
last spring put in a crop Of wheat
on a forty-acre tract of government
land which joined his own home
stead, and which was subject to en-,
try under the homestead laws.
Erlan Linquist on July 18th. made
a homestead entry upon the land,
and when the crop was matured
cut and shocked it. He also au-
thorized the defendant, Mr.. Eggert
to look after the wheat and prevent
its being taken by the Schaders.
A few days thereafter John SchaA-
er, with some eight of hit neigh
bors, among whom was the COM
planning witness, Fred Schaffer,
went to the field in question be-
tween IL and IL o'clock at night
and commenced to haul away the.
wheat. At this point the defend
ants, Mr.. Eggert and his son Wal
ter, appeared on the field with
guns. They commanded the Schaff-
er party to stop hauling off the
wheat and to remain on the ground
until Lindquist should be able to.
get there. In the fracas which fol-
lowed, Walter Eggert shot Fred
Schaffer with a. shotgun, inaicting
a dangerous wound; a charge of
buck-shot striking Schaffer under
the left arm and lodging in his
back.
Under these facts, one of the con-
trolling questions in the case was:
Who was entitled to the wheat
crop-the homesteader, Linquist,
or the man who put the crop in,
John Schaffer. If it belonged to
Lindquist, the shooting by the.de-
PENDANTS of Fred Schaffer, was
justiiable because of their author
ity from Lindquist to protect the
property. On the contrary, if it
belonged to John Schaffer, who
put the crop in, then no one had
any right to stop him in removing
it.
The law on this point was laid
down by Judge Winchester, in his
charge to the jury, substantially
as follows: That q homesteader is
the owner and entitled to the pos
session Of every thing growing
upon government land.at the time
be makes his entry upon il. .J

Simple Way TO Cure Catarrh by Hy.
Omel Without Stomach
Dosing.

1t is the height Of folly to dose the
stomach with internal medicines to
cure nasal catarrh 1t cannot be cured
except the catarrhal germs that are
present in the nose, throat and lungs
have first been killed.
The soothing air Of Hyomei heals the
smarting and raw membrane of the air
passages in the nose, throat and lungs,
kills of the catarrhal germs and rids
the system Of the last trace of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
Of d hard rubber inhaler which can be
carried in the purse or vest-pocket, a
medicine dropper and a bottle Of Hy-
omei, and costs only one dollar, while
extra bottles can be obtained for 50
cents.
Haynes & Taylor positively guarantee
a cure when Hyomei is used in ac-
cordance with the simple directions on
