Warm Reception to
UNLIMITED Guest

Frank Carter. farmer living
north Of the city, was in town Fri
day looking for farm laborers. In
the evening a laborer hired out to
him and told him he could get
others who were camping near the
water, tank west Of town. The
two drove out there, and coming to
q bunch Of fellows who were in
dulging in the amber fluid that
made Milwaukee famous, the two
dismounted and began to help
themselves. The gentleman who
was acting as.host to the reception
party took umbrage at the liberty
assumed by the unlimited guests
and pro oceeded to amaul the tar''
out Of Garter. which he succeeded
in doing with neatness and dis
patch. When the row began, the
team took fright and ran away, u
but was caught by John VanLiew
and6tied to g telegraph pole. Car
ter was brought to town pretty
badly used up, and the report was
soon current that he had been
held up by road agents, badly
mauled and his team stolen. Off
Ger McBeth went out and heard
the story of the men whose pleas
ure Garter had interrupted. and
going on q little farther found the
team and brought it to town. No
arrests were made.

4 Three Weddings
Wednesday Night

A very pretty wedding was
Esolemnized at 9 o'clock Wednes-
day evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. John McCauley, three
and one-half miles north of
town. The constructing parties
were the oldest son, w. C. Nc
Cauley, and Miss Clara Arnstad,
and G.. w. Belcher and Miss
yeannette McCauley, the oldest
daughter. The house was neat
" decorated for the occasion and
at the strains Of appropriate
music the two young couples
marched into the room and took
their stand before Rev. G. H.
Easterbrook, who twice pro-
nounced the solemn words that
made them man and wife.
Only the immediate relatives
land friends Of the young people
were present. After the many
congratulations a bounteous we'd
ding dinner was served. This,
like all the other parts, was
strictly up to date and was SER
Eved in six courses, and was un-
der the direction of a colored
chef from the city.
There were many valuable
presents given to both couples,
and one would judge from the
number and variety that they
ALREADY had a good start for
housekeeping.
The four young people are
well known in Devils Lake and
move in the best circles and
have a large number of friends
who wish them abundant success
lin their new voyage upon the
matrimonial sea.

the construction Of Dry Lake
drain No. 1, an open ditch thru
which to drain the chain Of lakes
lin the northwestern part Of the
county into Chnrchs coulee which
flows into Devils lake, but there
being no bids on file, the com
mission adjourned until Wednes-
day, Sept, 19. An effort has
been made for the past three
years by the farmers in that sec
tion Of the county to have this
drain constructed, but they seem
to be just as far away from the
realization of their desires as they
were before they began. The
only sure way is for the farmers
interested to do the work them
selves. V

Hail Insurance

. Several years ago the Mankato
Mutual Hail and Cyclone Insur-
ance company was doing a
thriving business in North Da-
kota. In 1903 the company made
a false statement to the insur.
ance commissioners of this state
and he promptly cancelled their
authority to do business in North
Dakota. The company then
moved to Winnebago City, MINI. J,
but never succeeded. in getting a
foothold again in this state. The
company assigned all their
North Dakota notes to one Geo.
Walker of Ransom county, and
no matter where the maker Of
note resided. he was sued In

cases judgment was obtained by

Hold Up Artist
. Comes to Grief

Herman Borge, Clayton Little
and Chris Jensen, members of the
threshing crew on Phil Manseau's
farm, were held up by a hobo
named Martin J. Burns, about a
mile from Grand Harbor Monday
night. The hold up artist had
been around the Harbor with
thesesthree menduring the evening,
and learning that they were going
back to the, farm and the route
they were going to take, skipped
along in advance and laid in wait
for them, With a revolver he
commanded them to hold up their
hands in the true Jesse James ord
or. The three travellers quickly
complied with the request until
Burns went through the pockets
of two of them, from which he ex-
tracted $2.ll from one and 35
cents from the other. The third
man, however, refused to be robb-
ed SO easily. Quick as fash he
knocked the revolver from Burns
hand and struck the robber a Bob
Fitszimmons' blow that sent
him to the grass. AS he struck
Burns arm that held the revolver
the weapon went off, and Borge
says he can still hear the whiz Of
the bullet which passed danger
ously close to his head. The three
men, after nearly pounding the
life out of Burns, took him back
to the Harbor and lodged him in
the calibeose for the night. The
next morning Deputy Sheriff
EStenseth brought him to the
county Jail, where he now repines
waiting q chance % plead guilty in
the district court. The penalty
for highway robbery il from one
year to Life. Burns says he de-
serves about fifteen years, and

all that is coming to him.

The steamer ran onto sandbar

Hartje, who is defending herself
against the suit for divorce entered
by her husband, Augustus Hartje, the
millionaire paper manufacturer, OK.
ploded surprise upon the counsel for
her husband when the trial of the
case was resumed. Mrs. Hartje went
on the stand and as preliminary to
the testimony of David NJ Carvalho,
the New York handwriting expert, re,
pudiated the testimony she had given
last week and denied the authorship
OF the Susie Wagner letter. This let
ter is one of the Standards" in the
case and is one of the letters upon
which the experts for Hartje base the
assumption that Mrs. Hartje wrote
the famous forty letters:
Expert Carvalho, who followed Mrs.
Hartje on the stand, testified that the
same hand that wrote the Wagner
letter wrote the letter which Edward
G. Hartje found in the ash pile in the
Hartje barn and also wrote others OF
the letters.
Apparently the testimony discon-
certed the attorneys for Hartje and
they secured hurried adjournment
