to insure a ready sale.

gang Of dago laborers employed
here as section hands waxed loud
lv enthusiastic over the contents
of a beer key. Jovial feelings
gave way in the course Of time
to a personal antipathy and the

and general tumult. One of the
number fastened to inform the

two of the belligerents were ar

In fine dramatic frenzy they
have sworn vendetta, and the in

Charged With Fraud.

Alleged land frauds in this vi
entity are being probed by the
United States officials.
Deputy United States Marshal
G. J. Stout of Fargo, came here
Saturday to serve a warrant on
E. E. Hazen Of Lansford, charg-
ed with perpetrating a laud fraud.
He was released on $1,000 bail.
It is alleged that Mr.. Hazen
made a contract with another
person to file on a piece Of land
and to surrender it to himself as
soon as the patent was received.
This is the result Of an ex-
haustive investigation which the
United States officials have been
making in North Dakota fo1
some time. A few days ago it
became known that the investi-
cation was extended to North
western North Dakota and the
arrest Of Mr.. Hazen followed.
1t is alleged that many nome
steaders in this section of the
state violate the law with refer.
ence to continuous residence or
the land. There is a difference
of opinion as to this point. The
law itself is very strict, but con.
struction is not always too ex.
acting.

North Coast Wrecked.

Valley City, N. D., Aug. q.
The North Coast Limited on the
Northern Pacific was wrecked at
5 o'clock Sunday morning at Ho-
bart, a small station four miles
west Of here. Five sleeping cars
went off the rails, and Kermit
Roosevelt, son of the president,
was in one of the wrecked cars.
Only one, a woman, was injured,
and her hurts were slight.
The North Coast pulls through
Hobart without a stop. Just as
the end of the depot platform
was passed, the five rear coaches
of the train were thrown off the
track. The engine, baggage and
mail cars, smoker and day coach
had passed over the spot safely.
The cars were thrown far from
the track, and the one in which
young Roosevelt was a passenger
was run over a hundred feet to
one side. The cars were over
turned, the tracks torn from un-
der them and piled up into heaps.
The passengers were thrown
out of their berths and many had
to be pulled out through the open
windows while the cars lay on
their sides. That no one was
badly injured seems increditable,
as the cars were wrecked badly.
The North Coast Limited is the
through flyer Of the Northern
Pacific. It makes stops only at
the most important cities and
makes fast time through the
smaller stations. The train was
delayed about six hours on &C.
count of the wreck.

or Wants to Deceive the PEG.
pie Farmers Against the Law

The Independent received a let
ter from one OF our next county
commissioners, c. G. Willis, OF
Sawyer, relative to the herd law.
Mr.. Willis, himself a farmer,
speaks the sentiment OF every
well-thinking farmer in Ward
county, and his letter goes to
show that Mr.. Black is either
mistaken or wants to deceive the
people.
SAWYER, N. D.. Aug. p, '06.
Editor Independent:
Sir-Referring to your article
relating to the herd law question
will say that l agree with you
that the question certainly
ought to be submitted to a vote
of the people next November.
Admitted that the law provides
for petitions to be presented to
the Board of County Commits
sioners, asking that the question
be submitted, nevertheless it
seems to me that that provision
was made to cover possible cases
in which county commissioners
might fail or refuse to act with
out such petitions. | believe our
board, at the present time, is
made up Of representative men,
mOstly farmers, who, it seems to
me, must know that it is the
wish of a vast majority OF the
voters to have the question sub
mitted at the election next fall;
and ii this is the case there GER
tainly is no sound reason why
they she uld not order it to be.
| have been quite sure in my
own mind that the majority OF
voters would have liked to have
had the law changed, even two
years ago, but at the present
time there can be no question
about it. Having heard many
voters express themselves on the
question in the past two years, I
will say that | have no doubt
that if the required petition was
circulated through this part OF
the county that less than three
per cent would refuse to sign it.
The required number OF signers
could easily have been obtained
If a few persons in each district
had drawn up the petitions and
circulated them, but many inter.
ested persons didn't know exact
ly how toproceed and put of do
ing anything themselves, think
ing, perhaps, somebody will at
tend to it, till late in the season
when haying and harvest occu-
pied their time and thoughts.
There is yet time for the COM
missioners to order the question
submitted if they act promptly
at their meeting in September,
and I, together with many 9TH
ers, can see no just cause why
they should not do SO. As this
is to be a regular election the
small extra cost is not worth
considering, as you maintain.
Yours, etc.,
G.. G.. G.. WILLIS.

E. E. Tooke, a farmer about
A years of age, was shot and
killed by an unknown party at
his home seven miles north Of
Dunseith. The first shot was
full in the face, the left eye ball
being shot out. The second shot
was evidently fired after the man
had fallen to the ground, the
gun being held close to his head,
the load entering his left ear and
tearing thru the head SCATTERING

excepting his wife. She states
that her husband arose early
and went after an armfull Of
wood, then went to the barn.
She heard a shot and looking
out saw the murderer standing
over her husband. The man
looked at her and she says she
grew afraid and went to a neigh.
boris. When neighbors arrived,
the murderer had gone.
Tooke was a man OF a quiet
disposition and had not a known
enemy. The case is being inves-
tigated. 1t is rumored that his
wife knows more of the murder
than she cares to divulge.

Christmas Burr Mcintosh Monthly.


 Those who have seen this magnifi- cent holiday number of .the most beautiful magazine in the world" claim 1t Is by far the most sumptuous and artistic periodical ever placed before the public. From cover to cover it is work of art and, all though it is 50 cents copy, double the price of regular monthly issues, it is worth many times the amount. The cover is in six colOrs and gold and there are several additional color pieces, many of them reproduced from paintings of the old masters. Publishers of this magazine excel in putting together odd and intensely artistic pictures in the matter of em- bellishment and mounting. A very interesting sketch of the famous Leonardo BaVinci, together with re- productions of some of his most fam ous works, form charming portion of the publication. The superb DOT traits and the unusually attractive scenes and incidents go to complete variety that is seldom attained in any publication. This Christmas number of the Burr Mcintosh Month ly always makes a nice holiday gift. It can be found on all news stands throughout the country or obtained from the publishers. Burr Publish ing Co.
