Ward County Rural Routes.

Ward county farmers are interested
in a number of proposed new rural
routes, out of Minot, Kenmare and
other places. Some people would still
prefer the old system which made the
village postoffice club room and po-
.itical center. In the rural districts
the people are not in such feverish
haste for their mail as in the towns.
The rural letter carrier has, however,
come to STAY.

Everybody Is Going.

The members of the Commercial
club who will take the trip over the
Great Northern in the commercial in
terests of this city met this morning
to further the plans. The interest has
reached the point of enthusiasm now
and everyone seems determined to
make the trip such that the other Or
CARNATIONS which have toured the
state will look like the proverbial
thirty cents. Fifty-one persons are al
ready scheduled to take the trip, max
ing the crowd larger than any other
organization, while fully that many
more are arranging to go but have not
yet signed the stipulations. In addi-
ton to those formerly reported in the
Evening Times, the following named
persons and institutions will be rep
resented: The Union National bank,
Jas. Turner & Sons, o. A. Webster, NJ.
H. Rerick Hide and Fur company,
Grand Forks Brick, Tile and Cement
company, Red River Valley Brick COM
pany and Tracy r. Bangs. The mat
ter of taking the band on the trip was
considered this morning, but no defin-
lite conclusion was reached. The mat
ter will probably be settled at a meet
ing of the committee this evening.
There are many ways of being
lucky. Having no daughter to "prac-
tice" on the piano is one Of them.

T CHOICE LAND OPEN.
For Settlement Near Winston and
Rush Commences.

The rush of landseekers into the
Williston land district has commenced.
However, there are not as many pe0-
pie hurrying westward as has been
expected and it Is suspected that the
fact is not generally known that $780,
600 acres OF land will oe opend for
settlement Aug. 8.
A couple of years ago the secretary
of the interior withdrew the land from
settlement on account OF several irri-
cation projects which were at that
time under consideration by the gov
eminent.
An examination by government Of
f1cials disclosed the fact that either
water could not be got on the land or
that the people in the locality did not
look with favor on the irrigation pro-
jects SO the order was made about a
month ago restoring the land to the
public domain. The order becomes
effective Aug. 8 and the land will be
subject to homestead entry.
The land is situated entirely In the
Williston land district and not far
from Williston. In fact most of the
land is within twenty miles from the
town of Williston. Some of the land
Is very good, especially that which Is
located fin Mckenzie county. The
choice parcels of land will, of course,
be speedily taken up.

SHEEP GROWERS.
They Are Enjoying = Great Era Of
Prosperity this Year.

North Dakota and Montana sheep
raisers are enjoying an era OF the
greatest prosperity in the history Of
the business in the west. Never be-
fore have conditions been as favor
able, and as a result, the sheep rails
ers who have been in debt for years,
will be able to pay of all mortgages
and many will retire this year with
ample funds to keep them in luxury
for the balance of their natural lives.
One of the most successful of the
Montana sheep raisers. is c. M. Bair
of Billings. Mr.. Bair has just sold
his entire wool crop at an advance
price and the wool is now being ship
ped east on the Northern Pacific as
fast as it can be loaded on the cars.
It will require three complete trains to
carry the wool which Mr.. Bair
sold.

AFTER PETERSON.
A Former Thief Thought to Have Be.
come Demented.

Hiding in the bushes by day and
roaming around Fargo and Moorhead
residence districts by night, Emil Pet
erson is being sought by the police of
both cities says the Fargo Forum
That he Is insane Is the opinion of
the police and grave fears are enter
tanned that he may commit some des-
perate or insane act.
Peterson was arrested in Moorhead
some time ago on a charge of robbing
Rev. A. T. Youngs residence and since
his release from Jail has been acting
queerly. Some boys reported to Chief
of Police Malvey of Moorhead that
Peterson had robbed couple of
houses in Fargo. but this report could
not be confirmed.
A determined effort will be made to
eject Peterson's arrest this evening.
In case the arrest is accomplished, the
unfortunate man will be given hear
Ing before the insanity board.

A GOOD FAIR
Items of Interest About the
Coming Richland County
Fair at Wahpeton.

Prof. Ladd of the pure food commits
sion has kindly consented to send the
exhibit he had at the state fair at
Fargo to Wahpeton for the fair this
fall. The pure food" exhibit at Far
go attracted quite little attention and
it was very interesting to those who
saw it.
The three main buildings on the fair
grounds are now completed. except
painting and they present very at
tractfve appearance. This week the
racing stables were finished and the
poultry house and some of the cattle
stables are being constructed. Work
on the grand stand will likely begin
next week. The grand stand will be
built on the west end of the north
stretch and will have capacity Of
one thousand people.
The race track is geeting in elegant
shape and will soon be as smooth as
glass. 1t is very attractive place
now for pleasure drivers.
What promises to be one of the
chief attractions of the fair is the gun
tournament under the auspices of the
Wahpeton and Breckenridge gun
clubs. These clubs have arranged a
program of events for the afternoon
of the first day of the fair and the
morning of the second day. Invita-
lions have been sent out to all the gun
clubs within reach of Wahpeton and
present indications are that no less
than one hundred crack shots will be
here. The several ammunition COM
panies will send one or more represen-
tatives each and some of these are
rated as the best shots in the country.
A ball diamond will be laid out in
side the race track and directly in
front of the grand stand and several
good games of baseball will be pulled
off during the fair

FULLER DIVORCE CASE.
Wheatland Couple Separated After a
Score Of Years of Married Life.

Mrs. Chloe A. Fuller's charges of
cruel and. inhuman treatment against
her husband, William L. Fuller, a
wealthy farmer residing at Wheat
land. were substantiated at the hear
ing before Judge Pollock in the dis
trict court at Fargo Saturday after
noon and she was awarded a decree of
dicorce. The court made no provisions
for alimony for it appeared that a
settlement of the property had been
made out of court. In her complaint
Mrs. Fuller charged that her husband
had slapped and pinched her, had
bruised and injured her side severely
and had used violent. abusive and in
decent language to her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller were married
in Wheatland more than twenty years
ago and are we'll known in the vi
entity. They have seven children
ranging in ages from six to nineteen
years. The father was awarded the
custody of all the children.

MURDER OF LYERLY FAMILY.
Associated Pres, to The Eve,i,. Tiue.

Salisbury, N. c., Aug. GA special
term of the Rowan superior court con-
vened today for the trial of the four
negroes accused of the murder of
Isaac Lyerly, his wife and two chill
dren at Barber Junction last month.
The accused negroes are Nease, Gil
lespie, his sons, Henry and John and
Jack Dillingham;.
The trial doubtless will be speedy
one and the prosecution anticipates no
difficulty in securing the conviction of
all four Of the accused. The prosecu-
ton relies chiefly on the story of
Henry Mayhem, the 12-year-old grand
son of the elder Gillespie, who told
a circumstantial story of the crime,
Of which he was an eye witness.

all probability be the next president
of Fargo college. The matter has not
been definitely settled as yet, but DR..
Foulkes visited Fargo some weeks ago
and was very favorably impressed
with the field. The college board of
directors were also favorably impress

of the board were DESTROYS of having
him take the position.
No doubts have been expressed re-
garding his qualifications for the po-
sition, but there has been some hest
tation on the part of some of the
members of the board about calling a
Presbyterian divine to the head Of a
Congregational institution. These OBJ

ruled. however, and it now seems GER
tain that DR.. Foulkes will be asked
to come. 1t is thought that he will
