GOING AFTER ,-A%GfEAEERR

The attorney general Las sent
out the following circular letter 10
states attorneys:
Reports of the commission of
many crimes in different parts of
the state make it necessary, if we
would give to every citizen that
protection which the law guaran-
tees, that every states attorney,
sheriff and police officer should ex-
ert his utmost energy in the en-
ergy in the enforcement of every
criminal statute. Idle and profit
gate person who come into the
state with no visible means of sy,D-
port, and who prefer loafng and
pilfelilis to woIk, should BE- gotten
rld oil us soon h; possible. The
perpetrator OF every crime should
be grought to speedy justice, The
states attorneys, sheritfs and TO-
lice officers are elected and ap-
pointed for that purpose.
By taking hold of the matter
energetically, we eau rid the state
OF that undesirable class who com.
NIT most Of these crimes before
the honest laborer, now aiding in
the gathering Of our bountiful
crops, returns to the towns with
the wages the thug is waiting to
ROB him of.
L desire to call your especial at
tentlon to section 1852 and 8, 1905
code entitled vagrancy. I believe
failure to strictly enforce these
sections is responsible for large
number of crimes being committed
in the state.
Let not the question of expense
be taken into consideration in the
suppression of crime. If we would
preserve the good name Of our
state, we must check with an iron
hand any Indication of a ''crime
wave" If any assistance is need
ed in prosecution, it will gladly be
furnished from this Office.
Good citizens willobey the laws:
bad ones should be made to. =

The first traction gasoline en-
CINE and thresher to go out Of
Washburn was taken out by Mr..
Anton Peterson and 81. A. ;Weise.
this week. The engine is of %
horse power of the Hart-P make
and will take half-barrel of gaso-
line to run one day. After the
threshing season is over the en-
CINE will be used for blowing. If
the engine is successful it will not
be long before all the blowing
will be done with the aid of the
gasoline engine as the cost of ope-
ration is SO much cheaper. With
ths> coming OF the alcohol the cost
OF peration should be much less.
NJ $. Allan Mcdonald was in
from Weller the first Of the week
and made this office a pleasant
call. Mrs. Mcdonald informed us
that the ;>ost office at that place
will be discontinued unless some
arrangements can be made for the
delivery of the mail to the Weller
Office. Several applications have
been made to the department but
nothing has been done in the mat
ter, and unless some ARRANGEMENTS
are made soon the Office will go
out of business. This will Ger
tainly work hardship on the peo-
pie Of the Weller neighborhood
and will compel them to go long
distance for their mail.
Last Saturday we made a trip to
the capital city, the first in several
months, and during th;t time the
city has made a great advance
mant in many ways. GA every
side can be seen the buiIling of
new brick blocks which goes to
show that the people have faith in
the city and country. The new
buildings which are now under the
course Of construction will be
modern in every respect. One of
the finest buildings in the city
will be the Grand Pacific hotel,
and we doubt very much if there
is any better in the state. Weare
glad to note such a growth in the
capital city. The citizens are
working in harmony and through
the strenuous work Of the Com
mercinl Club are getting many new
industries to locate in their midst.

ANOTHER RAID.

Last Saturday officers armed
with the necessary papers made a
raid upon the alleged booze ven
doris located in the town of Under
wood. A raid was made and three
alleged piggers were rounded up
and brought to Washburn, and it
is said that some others were very
anxious to get over into the Mis-
souri, river bottoms, so much so
that all that could be seen was d
streak of dust headed in that di-
rection.
L. A. Kaelin, Harry Slocum and
Peter Schultheis, the three arrest
ed, had their preliminary hearing
before Judge Ranard Tuesday and
they were bound over to the dis
trict court, bail being fixed at
$4,000 each. The men deposited
$500 each and were given their
liberty.
This is the second raid that has
occurred within the past two weeks
and it begins to look as if the peo-
pie are awakening to the fact that
IN order to protect their boys from
the undesirable element which
goes hand in hand with the blind
pigger, and who are only waiting
for chance to fleece the unwary
and the hard working man, the
strong arm of the law is invoked
and it generally brings the desired
results. While we do not believe
in the present prohibition law, we
do believe in the enforcement of
the same as long as it is on. the
statute books and is a LAW >of the
state. 80 ;.

The 500 Train Wrecked -. Two
Miles east of Washburn.
Monday Morning. No one
Injured.

The 500 train which leaves Bis
marck at go in the morning, was
wrecked Monday morning about
two miles cast Of Washburn, Just
after crossing the Turtle creek
bridge. Three freight cars were
thrown over into the ditch and
the forward trucks Of the baggage
coach partly oil the fill and badly
wrecked. The train at the time Of
the accident was moving at the
ordinary rate OF speed and was
made UP Of MURDER of loaded
freight cars, a com bination bag
gage and smoker and day coach.
The engine and all out three Of
the freight cars passed over the
spot and it is supposed that the
forward trucks of car Of lumber
jumped,the rails and tearing up
the rails landed out in the ditch
bottom side up, q badly smashed
car. The two following cars were
thrown over in the ditch and badly
smashed. The forward trucks Of
the combination car left the rails
dut did not leave the fill. This
car was we'll filled with passengers
and beyond a severe shaking ul.
and a bad scare no one was hart.
The rear coach remained Oh the
rails and a sudden stop was ali
that the passengers realized Of {,
serious accident. The track was
badly torn up for distance Of a
hundred feet, the rails being twist
I ed and broken and the ties being
ground up, there being but few of
them left whole. The wreck was
one of the worst thas ever occurred
on this division. 1t was narrow
escape for those who were on the
train.
A wrecking crew came UP from
Bismarck and after working all
night the wreck was cleared up
and train left for Bismarck Tues
day morning.
