Mandan Pioneer: The twenty-one
year old son of Frank Schmidt of the
Little Heart was shot and killed one
dady last week while helping boy
hunt ducks. It seems that a boy
about nine years of age had picked up
the shotgun and was playing with it
while a companion was rolling a
cigarette and when the elder boy saw
him, ordered him to put the gun down
and in complying with the demand,
the gun was accidentally discharged
and the load struck young Schmidt
in the head and killed him instantly.

Washburn Leader: The Leader
has been informed that number of
tin horn gamblers are making Wash
burn stopping place. The authori-
ties should look this matter up and if
the information is correct have the
yagrancy law put in motion and give
them a few days work. Washburn
has no need for people of that class.
They toll not, but try to secure a liv-
ing, by hook or crook, off the earn
ings. of the working man. A COM
munity that tolerates the gambler
and others of the same ilk is going
backwards and respect for law and
order is lost. .=
Steele Ozone: H. Oxenrider
brought US samples of potatoes
plowed up this spring in his field,
which are fine and sound as if dug in
October. He had five rows undug
last fall, and about ten bushels came
out in this shape. He also brought
in potatoes raised in 1904 and kept
in cool cellar ever since, which are
as smooth and fresh as when a few
weeks out of the ground. Where can
you beat that example of climate and
products? incidentally Mr. O. says
that he predicts bigger crop this
year than last, and says the indica,
lions and comparisons with former
seasons warrant him in the statement
