SUMNER RESORTS.
In the Turtle Mountains Becoming
Decidedly Famous and Attracting
SOutherners.

The people of the north have been
for years in the habit of seeking a
warmer climate during the rigorous
winters, and have to great extent
built up the south. Now there seems
to be prospect of reciprocation. The
southerners suffer as much from the
heat of summer as the northerners do
fom the cold Of winter, and they are
beginning to adopt the plan of their
northern brethren and get into cooler
climate. For several years the beauty
of the lakes. located in the Turtle
mountains have been understood by
people who have visited them, but
their merit 1t seems is just now reach
ing the outside world. Lake Metago-
she already has a number of people
from outside the state. among it's adj
mirers, while Lake Epsilon, near st.
John, will likely be peopled every sum-
mer in few years by visitors from
the south who are seeking comfort
able climate in which to spend the
summer. DR.. Thor Moeller of Devils
Lake who owns townsite on the
shores of this beautiful body of water,
had number of inquiries from people
of New Orleans and other southern
cities relative to our climate and the
length of our summers. They are form
ing sort of society for the purpose
of establishing a summer colony in
the north where they may spend the
season without the strenuous life
which it is necessary to live at New
port or Atlantic City. Whether they
decide to locate in North Dakota or
not, the inquiry is an indication that
the stories of our wonderful and de-
lightful summers has reached the out
side world and are attracting atten-
ton.

A WOMAN'S SCHEME.
Granville Has q Joan of Arc In War
For Better Grain Rates.

Granville comes to the front with a
woman who proposes to take the place
of a Joan of Arc in the war for better
prices among North Dakota grain
growers. Her name is Mary j. Baker,
name common enough, were it not
the cognomen of typical North Da-
kota woman with the characteristic
push and energy of her sex. She
thinks the farmers should receive a
better price for their grain than they
now do, and she proposes to do the
thing herself and at the same time
clean up some cash on the side.
Her idea is based on the belief that
Minneapolis and Duluth are not pay
ing enough for wheat and other
grains. She would buy the grain
from the Granville elevators and ship
1t direct to Chicago and claims to
have made arrangements with the
big grain firm of Rosenbalm Bros. to
handle her consignments and make
the usual advances of caA, with
which to handle the business. Miss
Baker was engaged yesterday in in
terviewing the Granville grain houses
about the proposition. The local
grain buyers do not think the plan a
feasible one and do not seem inclined
to pay much attention to the lady's
proposition. Miss Baker has home
stead few miles north of Granville.

MURDER ATTEMPTED
Egeland Young Man Assaulted
With Rock While Wooing
Morpheus.

The Denbeigh Promoter gives the
following account of dastardly at
tempt at murder In that village:
About 2 o'clock Sunday night
Vally Comstock, who was in the en-
ploy OF Leon Peavy at the livery barn
IN Egeland,, was aroused from his sleep
with a terribly battered up head and
minus several teeth.
1t appears that Comstock upon fin
ishing his evenings work in the barn
had laid down in the Office and went
to sleep, as was customary, leaving
the door partly open and lantern
burning for teams who might come in
during the night. Comstock went to
sleep about IL o'clock in the evening.
Somebody who evidently had some
spite against Comstock entered the Of
flee where he lay sleeping and hit him
on the cheek with rock the size of
a double fist, cutting his face up hor-
ribly and knocking out several teeth.
Had the blow been two inches higher
ComstOck's head would have been
mashed into jelly and murder would
have been the result. He lay uncon-
scious for about three hours, when he
aroused himself about 2 o'clock and
reported to DR.. Lindner, who dressed
his wounds. Murder seems to have
been the intention of the party who did
the deed.
The party who is accused of the
crime is rather queer acting fellow
who has been around town for sew
eral days and has disappeared since
Sunday evening. One would Judge
from his actions and doings that he
was lunatic and If he is caught by
the authorities now in his pursuit, he
will probably be sent back to Norway
from whence he came,

COMMISSION HOUSE
To Be Established With Head
quarters at the Peg-Wads.
ley At Conference.

: Manager Fred Wadsley of the Wis
consin Grain and Stock company, re-
turned today from st. Paul, where he
was called upon important business
matters concerning the company.
1t Is understood that a new COM
mission company with George w.
Woods, former president of the Ed
wards-Wood company, at its head, is
to be operating In the Canadian north
west in the near future.
The parties interested have pur-
chased 1920 miles of wire leading
west from Winnipeg along the Cana
dian Pacific railroad to the Rocky
mountains and branch Offices will be
established at Edmonton, Calgary,
Brandon and other important centers
in the territory. The main Offices will
be at Winnipeg.
The new company will carry on a
general brokerage business in grains
and stocks operated along the same
lines as the commission house here.
While there are commission houses
doing brokerage business at Winni-
peg, the territory to be invaded by this
new company has not as yet been
touched, and the growing Importance
of the country, rapid growth of the
cities and wealth on every hand make
it decidedly inviting field.
Mr.. Wadsley, who is connected with
the Wisconsin Grain and Stock COM
pany here as manager, will for the
present remain with that company,
but there are prospects of his identify
ing himself with the new company
later and locating in the Canadian
northwest. He is recognized here as
a very reliable man in the business
and traders like to deal with "Wad,"
as he is popularity known among his
friends

LOAFERS ARE FEW.
But Still a Dearth of Honest Help in
North Dakota.

According to reports that have
reached this city from over the state
as we'll as the opinion of local en-
ployment agencies, the demand for
laborers throughout North Dakota at
the present time greatly exceeds the
supply and some work will neces-
sarily be delayed as result, as every
proper inducement has already been
offered to get working men. The
wages offered laborers for farm work
has been boosted from 1925 and $500
to $3.50 and $2.75 and $500 the latter
paid in some localities in order to get
the work done that now appears near
the end. On account of the fact that
harvesting has been completed prac-
tically all over the state for farmers
are universally anxious to get the
grain threshed and it is this work
that draws on helpers to a large ex-
tent.
During the past few weeks there
have been few or no loafers about the
city. The high wages together with
the work Of the local police force have
done wonders. There were a large
number of loafers about the two cities
during the start of harvesting but they
have "skidooed"
All of the threshing reports are of
an encouraging nature and lead to the
belief that the crop may be greater
than was anticipated at the time of
the shrinkage scare first came out.

his pockets revealed something like
30 or GO cents. The next morning he
was brought up for trial and was fined
$5. He said he wanted to pay the fine,
and the court, looking at the slip, saw
that he only had about half dollar.
When informed of this fact the drunk
seemed to feel rather bad and stated
that he should have had money in
book. He was q pretty good sort of
fellow and the Judge suspended SEN
tence. When he came into the sta
ton to get the package of stuff taken
from his pocket a smile wreathed his
face. On the top of the package,
slipped in under the string that con-
fined 1t, was an old railroad folder.
There Is my book he fairly
shouted. and grabbing up the folder
he opened the leaves and to the sur
prise of the officers counted out eigh-
teen ten-dollar bills. He walked back
into the court room, paid his fine and
went away happy.
Il remember another instance where
fellow was brought in and in the
search of his clothes eight apparently
empty tobacco sacks were found. They
had a bad odor and were dropped in
the stove. The next morning the fell
low was fined in court and expressed
willingness to pay fine. The court
Informed him that he had no money
;Oh, yes I have said the fellow;
where are my tobacco sacks? They
were fished out of the stove, which for
tunately had no fire in 1t, and from

IS "BLACK|E" DEAD?
Advices From Bismarck Have
It He Was Killed There
By the 500 Road.

A dispatch from Bismarck to the
Minneapolis Journal under date of yes
terday has the following relative to
the much wanted "Blackie," or Lone
Star Kid" wanted for murder in VAL
ley City.
lis Blackie, the murderer of Police.
man Personals at Valley City, lying
In Bismarck cemetery? This is cues
ton that Coroner Gilbert of this city
believes can be answered afirmatively.
A week ago man supposed to be w.
8. Ranney of Columbus, O., was killed
in the 500 yards here while riding on
brakebeam. No word being received
from his relatives he was buried that
day.
Yesterday ]. F. Ranney of Columbus
arrived and had the body exhumed and
declared it was not his brother, but
said he closely resembled Blackley,
known at home as Blackie, who had
left Columbus with his brother last
spring In an attempt to work their way
to Seattle.
On Friday Blackley's people received
q letter from him dated Jamestown,
N. D.. Aug. "a, saying that he and
Ranney were we'll. That night Per-
sonius was killed by man who had
come from jamestown and his partner
who gave the name of Conner was ar
rested and is in jail at Valley City. Mr..
Ranney believes Conner is his brother,
w. 8. Ranney, and that the man killed
here is Blackie.
"Blackie could have taken the 500
to Hankinson and arrived here We'd
nesday morning and the fact that his
clothing and appearance tally with
that worn by the murderer, leads
weight to the coroner's theory. Ran
ney has gone to Valley City to see If
Conner is his brother"

ANOTHER SUSPECT.
Police on East Side Take Another Man
Answering "Blackie's" Description.

This afternoon Chief of Police
Franklin and Assistant Buckley of
East Grand Forks arrested another
suspicious character on the east side,
and are holding him pending the ar
rival of the Valley City officers tonight
Assistant Chief Buckley has had his
eye on the fellow for a day or two
and conveyed his suspicious to his
superior that the man was acting
rather strangely.
He was seen in front of Sullivan's
saloon by the officers and when it was
apparent to him that he was being
watched Ne slipped into the saloon of
Lynch and Gallagher after evading the
officers In several instances when they
approached him. He gave himself up
without resistance and denied all
knowledge of the crime at Valley City,
stating he could prove his identity.

sent out by the authorities almost to
dot. He was measured at the jail
and his height is about s It. z inches,
while that of the much wanted Black
lie" Is given at It. 6 inches. The DIFF
ference may be accounted for by the
heavy shoes now worn by the suspect.
We'll you're in for 1t, old man." was
the salution of the reporter. Carski
smiled in reply but looked trifle un-
easy which Is but natural under the
circumstances, be he guilty or inno-
cent OF the grave charges against him
Where was you at the time of the
Valley City murder?" asked the re-
porter. Tell me when it was and I
Will tell you," replied Carski. The date
being given, he stated that he had been
employed at Buffalo for a week before
the date and quit there on the 2Sth.
He had been driving a binder for
farmer, he said. He then told of his
going to Fargo where he was taken in
by the police because of the resemb-
lance to "Blackie." Subsequently, he
was released by the Fargo officials and
he shipped for st. Johns as previously
stated.
He told plausible story and stuck
to the staff nents previously made.
Ex-Sheriff Ed. Sullivan of Crookston,
was called in to see whether or not
he had ever seen the man. Mr.. Sulli-
van did not recall having seen him
before. Carski denied ever. having
been in jail at Crookston, suggestion
which was advanced by some one
present. but stated he had been in
Grand Forks not over a year ago, but
did not stay here long.
The much wanted Blackie is a cigar
cite fiend and Carski rolls the deadly
pill with great dexterity, but he also
smokes a pipe. He had this In his
mouth when seen by the reporter and
as he sat on the edge of the bunk in
his cell, blew great puffs of smoke
between sentences. II he is the man,
he takes it coolly and it is suggested
that the letter written to his brother
is clever ruse to throw the officers
off the track and elicit sympathy.
The arrival of the Valley City officer
and man to identify Carski will be
waited with deep interest as the iden-
tity of the man will be decided at once.
Carski gives his age as 10 but he looks
older. Blackie is % years old.

public opinion would compel the in

peace terms, which the veterans are
