fused it. A few words ensued and
Fogerty started to walk out to the
barn. Gill shouted after him, "Hey
there!" Fogerty answered, Don't you
say hey to me-" and continued on his
way. Gill followed him and when
within fifteen feet from his victim,

tect Edwards who will move his Of
fees from the old part of the building
where he is now located, to the new

DR.. Grassick. will be utilized by the
firm of Hatcher Brothers for the con-
Quoting of their enormous business.
Since they have added al stracting,
their present quarters are wholly in
adequate for their work and the
change is made necessary by their
demand for more room. The lower
floor has been rented by Martin E.

G. F. Blanke's gold medal lines of teas
and coffees. Work will begin on the

A report comes from Harvey, N.

custody at Churchs Ferry and brought
to Jail at Devils Lake. The man
boarded the train at Minot, and struck
up conversation with the men. He
had bottle of doped whiskey and
treated his new friends literally.
They became drowsy and while in that
condition, he robbed them. The mat

the train by passengers who witnessed
the proceedings and the man who car
ried the doctored booze was placed
under arrest and brought to Devils
Lake, where he languishes in the RAM

lowing of the use of the gym to the

raised considerable adverse talk
among the members of the "Y," it be-
ing claimed that they should have the

1t has been urged that no discrimin-

1R|PLETs BORN At DWIGHT
Three Children at the Osmondsou
Home Weight Total of Eighteen
Pounds.

Dwight, N. D., Nov. 5.-There was a
sensation here when it was reported
that Mrs. Carl Osmondson had given
birth to three healthy children. The
aggregate weight at birth was eighteen
pounds and all the infants were strong
and vigorous. 1t was the first set of
triplets ever born in Richland county
and plans are already being made to
exhibit the babies at the state fair
next summer. The youngsters are at
tracing the attention of the neighbors
all of whom are anxious to see them
The father bears his honors with be-
coming modesty.
1t is said that both the father and the
mother came from families in which
twins have been numerous but there
has been no record of triplets on either
side.
1t is probable that President Roose-
velts family will be remembered in the
selection of names and the president
will be notified that he has strong sup
porters of his anti-race suicide theory.

At THORN, NORTH DAKOTA
Burglars Make Bold Attempt to Rob
Store. Foiled By Clerk Whom
They Attempt to Kill.

The general store of ". Riendeau &
Co. of Thorne, n. D., was broken into
by two men last Monday morning
about two o'clock. Mr.. Meunier, the
clerk who sleeps in the store was
awakened when the robbers entered,
and one of the men Immediately be-
gan firing at the bed where he lay,
several of the bullets piercing the bed
clothing and some striking the floor
underneath.
After the first shot Mr.. Meunier slid
from the bed and got behind the safe.
From this vantage ground he fired
three shots. The shots all went wild
as the room was dark. One of the
robbers, having exhaused his supply
OF ammunition started to mike his get
away. The other seized a butcher
knife and made for Meunier, but in
striking his wrist came down on Mr..
Meunier's shoulder and he lost his
hold on the knife. The men clinched
and went to the floor and while there
the other robber returned and jumped
on Mr.. Meunier's stomach. The men
then broke away and ran from the
building.
Mr.. Riendeau, who was sleeping in
an adjoining building, heard the noise.
He went down with light just as
the robbers were fleeing and found the
clerk in an exhausted condition. The
alertness and courage OF Mr.. Meunier
evidently foiled the burglars in their
attempt to rob the store. There is
no trace of the burglars.

EVERYTHING AUGURS
WELL FOR A,
]. COLE
Believed That Scandinavians
Will Vote the G. o. p.
Ticket.

Prominent republicans of this city,
county and state are puzzling out Just
how many more votes A. l.. Cole will get
over and above the present incumbent.
They calculate that great number of
voters who did not care to vote for
Dunn two years ago, will return to
the fold and vote the straight repub-
lican ticket.
One of the interesting points of
speculation is the division of the
Scandinavian vote. Gov John A. John
son is of Swedish parentage and that
fact is expected to enhance his chance
of getting the vote of Swedish voters.
Two years ago the Scandinavian vote
was considered to have run generall,'
for Mr.. johnson, as both Sweies ana
Norwegians were glad to be loyal to
a descendant of what was then prac-
tically a united country.
But the situation now is different.
Since the election two years ago Nor
way has become independent OF Swe-
den, and is under its own sovereign,
King Haakon, which is expected tn
infect the Norwegians in this state
with feeling of individuality in their
voting. 1t is believed that in a spirit
Of loyalty to the fatherland they will
in a large measure feel like casting
vote in Minnesota Independent. of
their Swedish brethren, which augurs
we'll for Mr.. Cole.
Although 1t seems an odd PROPOSE
ton that the separation OF the two
peoples abroad should create feeling
of independence in this land, so far
away from the native shores. yet the
politicians argue that it is reverthe-
less not only logical sequence. but
the undoubted fact, rs they claim. the
home sentiment is SO closely woven
into the natives OF Sweden AID Nor
way that it becomes Il second nature.

BURSTING TO
The Sad Story Of a Promising
Life Ruined by the Drink
Habit.
DIED IN COUNTY JAIL
P. NJ. Bursting Cut Short His
Life Saturday Night by
Suiciding.
DIED IN COUNTY JAIL

committed suicide In the county Jail
of this county near midnight Saturday
night by cutting his throat with a pen
knife. He first attempted to commit
the deed by hanging himself with his
suspenders but they broke and then
he took the more certain method of
cutting his throat. He had been drink
ing heavily for some time and he him.
self asked to be locked up until he
could be to some extent broken from
the habit. Late Saturday night Sheriff
Turner had talk with the man who
then seemed to be in good spirits.
About an hour later Mrs. Turner heard
some commotion in Bursting's room
and called Deputy Mahon who went at
once to the cell. he found Bursting
dead.
The unfortunate man came to Grand
Forks about year ago and for some
time was employed in the abstract
office of H. Bendeke, and later was
employed by the Hatcher Brothers in
the same business. He was formerly
a lieutenant in the Norwegian army,
was an attorney by profession and was
man of splendid literary attain
ments. He had but one fault-that
of drink-and that was finally his
undoing. He had been delirious for
several days prior to the time he was
placed in the Jail by the sheriff, and
it is probable that the strain was
more than his weakened nerves could
endure and in a moment of desper-
alton he took his own life. The body
was removed to the undertaking rooms
of M. Norman where it was prepared
for burial and from which place it
was buried this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
He leaves a wife and one child in
the old country, and. in addition to
these his family connections are of
the very best. He had brilliant
future as young man and but for
the fatal weakness would have been
an honor to his country and his fam
lily.
His father was prominent railroad
official in Norway, and the son was
given all the opportunities that his
position could afford. He was adj
United to the bar and practiced for
six years with the best success. He
became involved in a real estate deal
which like many others of such char
acter, was made at the wrong time;
and the depreciation in value made
the matter a serious loss. The firm
of which he was member would
have been able to have stemmed the
tide, however, had not one of the
members fled to South America with
something like $4,000 of the firms
money. This swept away his fortune,
and he turned his attention to the new
world with its opportunities, and he
came here to engage in the practice
of law for the purpose of recouping his
lost fortune. Finding that the practice
here was altogether different from
what it was in his own country he
was compelled to take employment at
work far below what his talents and
his education merited. There is little
wonder that in the face of these SEEM
ihgly unsurmountable circumstances
he sought to drown his sorrow in the
cup that closes the bitterness of life
for the time being at least. and that
finally he took the life which he had
probably thought had lost its oppor-
tunity.
