Farmers Lose Large Sums

The following dispatch from
Chicago regarding the Cash Buy
ers Union. in which company
many North Dakota farmers
owned stock, goes to show that
the Independent is right on it's
attitude to induce the farmers to
deal at home at all times:
Chicago.-Judge Bethea, of the
United States Court, to-day ap-
pointed Edwin C. Day receiver
for the Cash Buyers Union First
National Cooperative society.
The charge is made in connec-
tion with the receiver-ship pro-
ceedings that stock in the con-
Germ aggregating $1,OnO,OOO
has been sold to farmers turnout
the country and that there is a
cash balance Of 500 on hand.
Complaint was maidstone time
ago to the postal authorities by
persons who had been solicited
through the mails to buy stock
in the company. Postoffice in
spectors ketchem and kimball
commenced an investigation in
which it was learned they declare
that there was no credit on hand
nor any coming in and that the
company owes $3.50, 900 on mer-
chandise accounts. Instead OF
taking the usual course the in
spectors secured information
upon which the company could
be thrown into bankruptcy and
the receivership proceedings
commenced.

Minot, the Metropolis.
by . Surrey Poet

You can talk Of Old Kentucky,
And Of Sunny Tennessee,
OF the green fields Of Virginia,
But Dakota's the place Tor me;
Where you get the gentle Zephyrs
From tho Rockies in the west;
But Of all the places on this earth,
North Dakota love best.
AS I gaze out DER the prairies,
In the good old summer time,
. And SEQ the fields OF waving grain
wish they all wore mine,
Then would work in earnest
And plan and scheme and plot.
To steal the capitol from Bismarck,
And bring it to Minot.
To the city OF Destiny,
I would bring this stately house,
And place it down upon the banks
OF the silent murmuring douse.
Where the foliage is fragrant,
When all nature seems it's best,
There is music in the name, "Minot.'
The metropolis Of the West.
Last week read the verses,
About this North Dakota land,
That were in the Independent, Il
They seemed to me just grand.
But when Gabriel blows his Trumpet
They'll respond from east to west
But of all the places on this earth.
North Dakota he'll love best.

TEMPE WOMAN
 SEEKS DEATH
Life Ground Out Under Tn.
 zine Wheels
Little is Known of the Suicide, Mrs. Morgan Who Left a Four Months Old Babe.

A Tempe woman last night, tired of life, cut the whole matter short by throwing herself in front of a Marico- pa and Phoenix engine She was iden- tified after it was all over as a Mrs. Morgan of whom little was known, eX- cept that she mad been in Tempe for a couple of months.
 The tragedy occurred about half past o'clock. A few minutes before the arrival of the train from Phoenix, Ernest Bennett, assistant station agent, Garfield Goodwin and a tele phone lineman by the name of Hansen, saw a woman standing beside the track, about fifty feet north of the depot. She was holding a satchel in !ler hand. Just before the engine reached her, she dropped the satchel and fell across the track in front of the locomotive. The witnesses say there can be no doubt of the suicidal purpose of the woman.
 The train was stopped at the depot, and the body which was horribly man. gled was found. It had been cut squarely in two, but tn eface was not been disfigured. An inquest was held at which it was brought out that the woman was variously known as Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Renders, the first name being believed to have been as stunned. She came to Tempe from some place in Texas and was accom- panied by a babe then about two months old. She took lodging with Mrs. McVey with whom she has since been living.
 Nothing was suggested at the in- quest regarding the motive for the woman seemed to be in fair health, and it is even thought from the cir cumstances of the satchel that she had intended going on the train and that she had not made up her mind to kill herself long before its arrival. There was later found along the track pocketbook containing the ticket, three or four dollars in money and a card bearing the name of z. J. AL dridge. The inquest was adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning, when it is thought more light will be thrown on the bloody affair.

HATCHETMAN DECKER
 MURDEROUS ASSAULT
He Will Have His Preliminary Hear
 ing this Afternoon.

c. l.. Decker the hatchetman, who tried to kill H. H. Hill, at the Denver lodging house early yesterday morning was arraigned before Justice Burnett and was put under a bond of $500 for his appearance at his preliminary ex- animation at two o'clock this after noon. Decker had nothing to say about the affair.
 HilTs version of it is as follows: He said that he and Decker had for some time been sleeping in the corridor where the assault was made. Decker is sufferer of tuberculosis and in the course of the night he eXpectorated a great deal He had a newspaper ct the side of his bed for this purpose. Hill said that he had to pass this exhibit every morning on his way to break fast and in consequence his appetite lacked a healthful robustness. He spoke to Decker about it several times with out result and finally one morning in a fit of irritation told him that he would lick him unless he got that pzper out of sight before he had to pass.
 It was not his intention to assault Decker but the latter brOodcd over the threat and spoke to several )arsons GDoUt it. He finally made threats of killing Hill.
 On Tuesday morning Hill said that when he went to bed, Decker had al- ready retired and was snoring. Hill now thinks that his sleeping was feign- ed for just as he was sinking into slumber he heard Decker get out of bed. He paid no attention 70 him, thinking that he was getting up after drink, the next thing he knew he re- ceived a blow on the side of hls head and then he began to disentangie him self from the bed clothing.
