Interesting case is Decided.

A most interesting case was de-
cided last week in district court.
Sometime ago John Schuler, a
Portal butcher became financial
ly involved, and being honest,
offered to give his creditors one.
half of what he owed them, pro-
viding that they would agree to
give him a years time on the
balance. This would save him
taking the "Nelson' cure. All
agreed to this. The Portal meat
market was sold and before the
money could be turned over to
Shuler, the First National bank
of Portal claimed the money and
attached it, for a claim OF $1,000
Shuler first asked for his ex-
emptions, but in this, the court
did not sustain his demands.
His wife then asked for her ex-
emptions, and the court granted
her request. Sheriff Lee released
the property, turning it over to
the wife. The First National
bank then brot suit against
Sheriff Lee to secure their $1,000
claim. The bank was defeated.
The case was hard fought at
every turn. LeSueur q Brad
ford ably represented the defend
ant while Lockerby OF Portal
and e. w. Wright OF Fargo ap-
peared for the plaintiff.

DEATH TO THE G0PRERS

A gopher poison factory has
been established in this city by
A. Nicholson, a registered phar-
macist, both in Minnesota and
North Dakota. Mr.. Nicholson
has perfected a poison that the
gophers go after like hot cakes
and he has rightly named it
Kill-em- Quick. For two or three
years this poison has been used
with telling effect and all who
have used it, are more than
pleased with the results. Its a
fact that gophers destroy many
times more grain in North Da.

and the farmers should use some
thing to get these little pests out
of the way. A dollar or two

Of this poison and used in the
spring before thu young ones pat
in their appearance, will have a
good effect in destroying one of
the worst pests with which the
North Dakota farmer has to con-
tend.
This poison will be on sale at
all drug stores.
The Independent believes that
Mr.. Nicholson has a mighty
good poison for sale. Here is a
letter that one who has used it
has written the manufacturer:

This town is only my adopted

remain permanently. When l

another state. But after a time

Finally a travelling man

me here. was so glad to get
back to a smaller town that de-
termined to make desperate ef-
forts to stay.
One day a citizen Of this town
was about to send me back to

logue. Suddenly / found my
voice and said to him-he was q

I'll be more useful to you here at

forever.
Doc said it was q mighty stiff
argument. He hadn't looked at
it in that light before. So he
went and bought the big beef
steak, and I began to circulate
around home again.
Now, just suppose all the other
dollars that are sent to Chicago

You could see this town grow.

WASN'T AS BAD AS REPORTED

The weather was pretty cold IN
January and February but the
thermometer did not get nearly
as low as some OF the papers re-
ported. John j. Bates, Minot's
representative of hegovernment
weather bureau, kept q close &C
count of the thermometer each
day and says that prior to Feb.
1, at no time did the thermome-
ter register lower than 35 de-
grees below zero and only once
did the thermometer 60 down to
As degrees below zero. Even
that was seven degrees lower
than any previous record. The
people did not mind the cold
much, even on the coldest days.
One man hitched up and drove in
twenty-five miles on q trivial
matter, which business could
easily have been postponed until
a warmer day. Many OF the
people will not allow themselves
to keep a thermometer, for imag-
nation goes long ways. Hun
dreds and thousands OF people
spent the winter on the prairie in
tar papered shacks with but one
thickness OF boards and they say
they did not suffer. We are not
trying to advertise North Dako-
ia as a state whose climate in
winter is ssuffocating. No, indeed.
It's our frosty, wintry air that
puts energy into our people, that
makes our farmers and our busl-
ness and professional men the
most wide-awake men Of the
country in their various lines.
We have in mind q man who ar
rived here five years ago from
the south. He had been in the
habit of taking things as they
came and didn't have to hustle
where he came from. He didn't
have to wear good warm clothes,
he didn't have to lay a good
supply of fuel for winter. He
ate, drank and was merry, and
didn't think on the morrow. He
arrived here almost penniless.
To-day that man is worth sew
eral thousand dollars. Now, you
wouldn't know he is the same
man. The condition OF the climate
has made him get down and
hustle. He couldn't lie in bed "of
a mornin''' for the cold drove
him out. He had to get up and
fix the fire. He had to get out
and look after his stock. 1t was
necessary for him to work; and
he did work like a mailer. It's
the best thing that ever happen
ed to that man. There are more
of us just like him. We don tex
pect a warmer climate-iust yet
don't need and couldn't use it
if we had it. We have yet to
hear the first man to complain
OF the winter we are just passing
thru. No, stree! Our men are
made of sterner stuff.

in refuting the stories.
Delegates were asked to tell
the amount Of suffering that had
occurred in their counties.
Mr.. Pendroy from McHenry
said that there had not been one
death from freezing in that coun-
ty.
Mr.. Richter, chairman Of the
Publicity committee at Larimore,
said he believed that many of the
commercial clubs of the state
were to blame for the false re-
ports. When it looked as tho
there would be a coal shortage,
the clubs would send word to the
governor or to the railway COM
panies to hurry along with fuel
or there would be dire results.
The little town of McCanna had
been sending in urgent demands
for fuel. Mr.. Richter drove to
McCanna Just after one Of these
reports had been sent in and
found THAT ONE ELEVATOR
HAD 70 TONS OF HARD NUT
COAL FOR SALE AND THERE
WERE SEVERAL OTHER CARS
OF COAL FOR SALE IN THE
TOWN.
Mr.. McDonough from GranO
said that the people from his
town had not suffered for coal,
but sent in their "holler'' in time.
Grano is only twenty miles
from the Ignite coal fields, and
farmers went with wagon trains
almost every day. Coal sold at
Grano for $S a ton.
Coal could not have been SO
very scarce for MIR. Stoltz, who
owns a line Of lumber yards all
thru this part OF the state, says
that at no time did he sell one
foot of lumber to be used as fuel.
T. F. Renwald, one of Minot's
real estate dealers, read a very
valuable article on the condi-
tions of the northwest, which he
had prepared with much care. 1t
is so good that we reproduce it
in full:
The object Of this convention,
as you are all aware, is to refute
the many baseless, false, sensa-
tional aud absurd reports re-
garding the suffering and deaths
due to the climatic conditions
this winter.
If these reports are true, then
indeed North Dakota would be a
country inhabited only by the
Esquimo and the polar bear, and
Walter Wellman's research for
the north pole will be fruitless
unless he steers his balloon in
that direction.
North Dakota has been SLAM
dered thoughtlessly and mali
ciously misrepresented.
False reports have been circu-
lated and published throughout
the land.
The good name OF our wonder
ful and magnificent state has
been done untold injury, the
great tide OF immigration has
been checked and the good credit
OF our state is suffering and is at
stake.
The many delegates present
representing the north western
section of the state, are assem-
bled here today for the purpose
OF refuting these libelous reports,
grossly exaggerated stories and
"pipe Dreams" that have been
sent broadcast throughout the
land.
We are here to challenge the
correctness of these reports to
prove they are false, and to give
to the world the true facts; We
are not afraid OF the truth. Had
the plain truth and actual condi.
tions as they existed really been
published, there would have been
no occasion for our presence here
today.
What are the truths-the real
facts-as to the conditions that
existed this winter-facts that
YOU and | and thousands OF
North Dakota's best citizens will
verify and swear to if necessary!
What are they?

Several Weeks.

Mr.. Elijah b. Miller, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. S. Miller, of Kearneysville,
died at his home Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock after an illness of some
time. Mr.. Miller suffered a hard at.
tack of typhoid fever which devel-

suited in his death. He had been in
a precarious condition for some time
and his family had grave doubt of his
ultimate recovery. He was aged %
years and was popular young man
in the community.
Besides his mother and father he
is survived by four brothers and two
sisters. One brother, Mr.. Gilbert Mil
Ter, city editor of the Morgantown
