having bought the interests Of
his partner, l. C. Morrill,. Mr..

Mr.. Bagley is making some i'm

ROSWELL CLEMM0NS
DROWNED IN C0ULEE
Fourteen Year Old Boy Meets
Sad Death While Bathing FRI
day AfternO0n--.Went to COu-
lee With Younger Brother.

Roswell, the fourteen year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Glen.
mons. was drowned in the slough
in the northern part of the city
about thirty feet east of the
bridge which crosses the main
road Friday afternoon at three
o'clock. His body was recovered
an hour and a half later by John
Reed, who dived to the bottom
OF the slough, which is ten or
twelve feet deep at that place.
Roswell could not swim at all
but his younger brother could.
The father had forbidden the son
going swimming, fearing that he
would meet with an accident, but
like as boys will do, the brothers
waited until the father started
for Smallwood's grocery store
where he is employed. then start
ed for the slough. He had not
been in but a few moments when
he called to his younger brother
and after sinking and rising
three times, disappeared.
The brother became frantic
and was absolutely powerless.
He remained on the banks of the
coulee until John Reed came
along and Mr.. Reed quickly un-
dressed, plunged into the cold
water but could not locate the
body in the weedy slough. The
father soon appeared and he al
SO dived into the water until ex-
hausted.
Soon a large crowd gathered
and with the aid of pike poles,
the body was located. Several
did all in their power to restore
life. The boy was taken to his
home where a doctor was called,
but the body had been in the
water too long.
Roswell was a manly little fel.
low and everyone seems to have
a odsword for him. The par
ents and young brother are ter.
ribly grieved over their loss.
The father has lived in North
Dakota for some years but his
family did not move here from
Northern Ohio until a few
months ago.

Grip Thieves at 500 Depot.

Two men have been lying
about the 500 depot stealing
grips. They were caught in the
act early Monday morning. One
entered the depot, sat down and
pretended to be in a drunken
stupor. His partner came in,
tried to arouse him and failed.
After cursing, he said, well,
| will put your grip on the train
anyway and walking to the best
grip in the depot, walked out
with it. Soon after a man and a
woman looked for their grip
which was missing. After a
search it was found at the depot,
with a check on it for St. Paul.

After Short Illnnss-..A Bright
Business Man is Gone.

T. E. Burke, former editor OF
the Kenmare Journal, died at
Tolley, N. D. Monday morning
at II O'Clock after an illness of
five days. Mr.. Burke's health
had not been good for some
years and several times he came
near dying. The news OF his
death came as a great shock
to his thousands of friends
throughout Ward county. The
funeral was held from Kenmare
Wednesday afternoon at three
o'clock and the remains were in
tered at that place. The Ma
sons, OF which order he was a
member, attended the funeral in

from E. c. Tolley, at Tolley, his
interests in large machine busi.

One of the most unique and
successful entertainments ever
given in this city, was the For
est Festival, given in Eastwood
Park Tuesday afternoon and
evening, under the auspices of
the Woman's club of this city. AS
a result Of their efforts and the
liberal manner in which the good
people of Minot spent their
money, the ladies cleared nearly
$500 which will be used in erect
ing a Y. M. C. A. building for
this city. The Woman's club has
been organized but about a year,
and have already devised ways
and means whereby Minot can
easily have an adequate Y. M. C.
A. building if the business men
and others will only stand at
their backs and lend a helping
hand. This amount is quite a
little nest egg towards the whole.
Let US encourage the ladies on
every hand, and soon we will see
erected for the young men of
this city a splendid edifce where
they can spend their otherwise
idle moments.
The park is a beautiful spot,
shaded with large trees and here
and there about the lovely
grounds booths had been arrang-
ed. The first one, the flower
booth was in charge of Misses
Genevieve Mulick and Gertrude
Dwyer. They disposed Of thous-
ands of beautiful bouquets of
flowers and were especially sue
cessful in inducing the young
men to buy.
Mrs. Duncan Cameron had
charge of the lemonade and pop
corn booth. Altho the lemonade
wasn't stirred in the shade by an
old maid, the article was excel
lent. Mrs. Cameron states that
the lemons were imported from
Greece and no one seemed to
doubt her word. She was ele.
gantly attired in a Grecian cos
tune.
Mrs. B. B. Tasker and others
sold aprons, sofa pillows, and
other things from the household
booth. These articles were made
by Minot ladies who were very
liberal.
Mrs. Emery Olnstead presided
over the fancy work booth, per.
haps the most beautifully ar.
ranged Of them all. She was
dressed as Martha Washington

of all descriptions were sold. The
Joss sticks, burning in a very
natural manner, among an ar
rangement of parasols, looked
very pretty. Mrs. Beatty wa:

Discovers Five Fine Quarters.

H. D. Shepard returned last
night from Williston where he
has been looking after land. He
discovered five of the finest quar-
ters of land in the state on the
Missouri south of White Earth.
The land had been covered up by
the ranchers. He Immediately
got busy with the wires and soon
had his father, two brothers and
his partner, G. w. Fanset there
and all filed on the land. About
a third of the land is covered
with heavy timber and the bal
ance with wild fruits. 1t is the
best point along the river for
deer hunting and the woods are
full of them this year. They will
all move on the claims in the
spring and make proof on them.

North Dakotan should think
that his locality, his farm and
his county is away and ahead
better than any other he has
ever seen. 1t is we'll that this is
so, for it insures perfect content
ment among the people. You
will have to travel a long dis
tance thru a good many states
before you find a lot of farmers
better satisfied with their lot,
than is the case with those living
northwest from Minot, and north
from Burlington.
And, too, you will have to get
up exceedingly early in the morn
ing to find a better class OF
farmers, better farm buildings,
better crops than you will see on
a thirty-fve mile drive over that
country. 1t is we'll worth any
mans time to take a day off and
pass thru that locality. The
grain was just turning golden
when the writer passed over that
country last stSunday. Allnature
was at her best. The farmer
himself was in the best OF spirits
for a bountiful harvest was at
hand and soon he would be am
ply rewarded for a long hard
summers work.
One of the first homes you will
pass is that of John Reed, four
miles up the trail. The writer
knew John when he first arrived
from Missouri. He was but in
very ordinary circumstances at
the time, as thousands OF other
North Dakota farmers were when
they first settled in this land OF
plenty. He now owns two large
farms, both we'll improved, has
good comfortable farm buildings
and has something like $50 acres
of first class crops. Mr.. Reed
informed us that he had seventy
acres of macaroni wheat on sum-
mer fallowing that made a tre-
mendous growth and he said
that he doubted if be ever again
sowed wheat on summer fallOw-
ing, as it grew too rank.
Mr.. Reed told OF a peculiar we'll
that he had dug. A short dis
tance beneath the surface OF the
earth, he struck a subterranean
stream, the roaring OF the water
as it tore along under ground
being plainly heard. The we'll
was dug some deeper than the
stream, but no more water was
found. The water from this
stream falls to the bottom ofthe
we'll and is pumped up. The
water is fine.
1t takes a German to make
things go in a new country: Jos.
Lennertz may be no direct kin to
Emperor Wilhelm, but he has a
mighty good farm just the same.
He has just completed an ele-
CANT twelve room country resi-
dence which is heated with steam.
He also has one OF those immense
barns put up at great cost.
We passed an exceedingly
beautiful country home located

farther up the trail. The grass
was all nicely cut about the yard
and farm buildings. The large
new red barn told an interesting
story OF prosperity. 1t was the
home of Bennie Olson, the best
looking bachelor that the prai-
rie affords today. Bennie has
worked hard the past few years,
and has built himself a neat res.
idence. Just north Of the house
is a beautiful young grove OF cot.
tonwood and other varieties OF
trees, all set in perfect order, and
cultivated like a cornfield.
There's only one thing lackingt to
make Bennie's life one OF eternal
bliss. But enough. There's an
other big barn yonder. Itseems
that each farmer is trying to
outdo the other. The structure
belongs to Kirk Green and will
hold 60 tons OF hay easily. Who
ever saw finer buildings in the
east?.

seen neat mail boxes, for the rC-
