Only those who came to Ward

lieved BY Mr.. johnson. who
seems to have been the prime

there are perhaps living in this
part Of the state 125 people who
came to Ward countyi prior to
that date. Mr.. johnson notified
as many as possible of the meet
ing, but of course missed several.
He will consider it a favor if
those who were missed, will noti-
fly him of the fact.
After the meeting, the crowd
was entertained at the Grill Cafe

joyable 6 clock dinner, followed

The Independent is making an
effort to secure the names of the
remainder of the "old timers"
and below give a partial list of
them. IF there are any omitted,
we will consider it a favor if
someone will either send us the
names or send them to the secre-
tary Mr.. Fugelso. It should be
strictly remembered that those
who came after December 81, Of
1886, are barred from the organi-
zation, and all old timers are
asked to keep their dates from
becoming mixed:

Attempts to Kill Step.father.

A fifteen-year-old step-son,
Jasper Kemper, of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. r. Summer Of Deering, at
tempted to kill Mr.. Summer the
other evening with a revolver.
The boy who is fifteen years old,
has been reading Diamond Dick
stories. The boy refused to
comb his hair prior to eating sup
per, SO his elder sister, did not
allow him to come to the table
until he had applied the comb
and brush. The mother sided
with the sister, and the boy being
stubborn, refused to comply with
their demands. After supper he
attempted to eat from the cup
board, but he was sent away.
This enraged him and the father
was called from upstairs. AS he
stepped into the room, the boy
pulled a wicked looking gun and
exclaimed. Come on, I am pre-
pared for the whole lot Of you. !"
The father grabbed the gun, and
it took perhaps five minutes to
get it away, as he had hold Of
only the barrel. The boy has been
sent to the reform school. The
fatheriand mother were in Mi
not Monday conferring with
|State's ATTORNEY McGee.

old spot, which has grown more
precious to him every year. Here
he has erected one Of the finest
residences in the entire county,
large barns and every year raises
fine crops. He has one of the
finest .'bunches" of cattle in the
state. He spends good deal of
his spare time on the farm,
where his family reside, while he
looks after a lucrative law and
land business in Minot. Mr..
johnson informed an Independ-
Eent representative that in the
early days all food came from
Bismarck and Devils Lake. Flour
was SO a barrel, ham 90 cents a
pound, tobacco Is cents a plug,
and q few potatoes which he
bought to plant cost 81 a bushel.
He broke up three acres of land
the first year and planted some
potatoes and put in a garden.
From the very start crops grew
well here and have continued to
do SO every year since with the
exception of perhaps one or two.
A good many people made butter
which they sold to the soldiers at
Bismarck for 40 cents a pound.
