Thrown Thru Window.

Two tin horn gamblers, one oi
whom is Haney from Havre.
Mont, raised a disturbance at
the Dacotah hotel, six o'clock
Sunday evening. Ben Dahleim,
an employe at the Grill Cafe. en-.
tered the hotel with two ladies
and sat down at the dining room
table, ordering supper for three.
The gamblers watched his
movements from the office OF the
hotel, and sent in word they
would like to drink with the
women. ....
They replied that they did not
drink and this angered them.
They entered the dining room
which was crowded with people
and started in to do up Dahleim.
He was knocked down and as
he got up he was struck a terri
ble blow in the eye. One OF the
gamblers broke a creamer over
his head. The clerk, Herbert
Mcleod, attempted to take the
part Of the Young man, and one
OF the big gamblers picked him
up and threw him clear thru the
plate glass window, landing him
outside on the sidewalk. He was
not badly injured.
They then attempted to throw
Dahleim out thru the window,
cutting his hand badly. Bert
Young tried to pull one CT the
men off from Dahleim and he re-
ceived a severe kick in the head
for his trouble.
The men went to their rooms
and after securing their grips,
walked out. They were arrested,
and after being taken to the city
hall, and severely reprimanded,
were let free. They settled the
damage, S25.

Infants Body Discovered.

While digging a post hole at
his home on Third avenue
Wednesday, L. P. Weatherwax
discovered a small coffin buried
about two feet beneath the sur.
face. Calling in some OF his
neighbors, an investigation was
made, and in it were found the
remains OF a small child, perhaps
some months old. The little one
had been wrapped in some sort
OF a cloth which had mildewed
and decayed with age.
1t is possible that the child
had been buried in that place for
five years or more. Mr.. Wealth.
erwax has reported the matter
to the authorities, and some sort
OF an investigation may be held.

ENDS HER YOUNG LIFE
Eighteen Year Old Girl Shoots Herself With
Shotgun Because Her Father Objectedto to
Her Keeping Company With a
Minot Young Man.

Miss Jessie Goodwater. an
eighteen-year-old young woman
killed herself on her fathers farm
in a tent Friday afternoon about
2 O'Clock, by shooting herself
with a single barrel gun thru the
upper portion OF her abdominal
cavity. Death was lnstantan-
eous.
The father of the young woman
had not been kind to her, and
seriously objected to her keeping
company with a young man who
lives near .MinoU. The name OF
the young man is withheld from
the paper at this time. The
father had been engaged in run
ming a breaking outfit for the
man who wished to marry his
daughter, and he being OF a very
stubborn disposition positively
refused to allow his daughter to
have anything to do with the
fellow. The girl coaxed her lit
tie sister to accompany her to
the tent which was located
about forty rods from the house,
and she took the shot gun with
her. She told the little sister
that she was tired of life, that
her parents would not allow her
to marry the man she loved and
said that she was going to kill
herself.
Tbs little sister pleaded with
the girl to not do the rash act,
but all to no avail. The young
woman told the little girl to go
around the other side Of the tent
and when she heard a noise, she
should run and tell her mamma
that she had killed herself. The
little one did as she was hidden,
but peeked about the corner Of
the tent just in time to see the
sister fire the fatal shot. She
held the gun on the ground,
cooked the trigger, and placing
a buggy wheel spoke against the
trigger, pulled it off with her
foot. The shot tore up thru her
abdomen and she died instantly.
The little girl ran to the house
and told her mother OF the awful
deed, and the other members OF
the family at once investigated.
The father had started for Ry-
der, but a neighbor was sent for
him and informed him Of his
daughters rash act. The father
returned home.
Word was sent to this city at
once and early Saturday morn
ing Coroner Windell, Undertaken
Raycraft, and Officers Lake and
Seigembine left in an automo-
bile for the place. The body lay
IN the tent as it fell, ard the hot
rays OF the sun has caused a ter
rible putrifaction. 1t was nee
essarv to prepare the remains
for burial Immediately. The re-
mains OF the poor girl were laid
at rest in a grave dug just out
side the door OF the tent, where
she committed suicide.
The father was very obdurate
and made several inhuman re-
marks about his being glad that
she was out Of the way because
she had caused him more real
trouble than all of the rest of
the family put together. He
said she had too many "fellers'
anyway.
The other members of the fam
lily were very much affected over
the tragedy.

LIGHT HEARTED
YOUNG AMERICA
RESUMES STUDY
Charm of First Session
AtteSted by Early Ar
rival of Pupils.
Hooray! Schools open!


With bubbling enthusiasm the
small boy and girl Of Washington
trooped out of their homes today.
school bags over their shoulders. and
into the various class rooms, bent on
study and all kinds of good purposes.
A rare day It was for youngsters-
a day that looms up through the sum
mer as one of joyousness and all that
looks good. Weeks OF vacation have
been sufficient to wear the novelty OFF
the holiday and 20 plant IN young
hearts a yearning for the classroom.
Like everything else. IL Will. too, lose
,ts charm, and il will not be long be
fore hockey viii know a good old
time revival
But today everybOdy-nearly every
young body-wanted to go 10 school,
and yesterday was the longest day in
the year TO the juveniles. Sunday school
had little interest, and the minister just
preached the longest sermon one ever
heard. Company came i'm for tea and
stayed until all hours, and altogether
Sunday was just about foTty-eight
hours long. This morning everybody
was bent on sleeping late and no one
but the small boy had the energy TO
get out Of bed before daylight Older
people somehow get so used to things
that they cannot understand a boy
wanting to be up and doing. Even the
cook was late coming. and then she
didn't think it necessary 20 hurry. 1t
was most ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS aggravat-
ing.
