women and girls. Over half the per-
sons employed in the weaving and

viz: three charges for burglary
in the third degree and three
charges for grand larceny.
Conroy will be defended by
Greenleaf & Leighton, those at
torneys being appointed by Judge
Goss for that purpose.
It is said that if Conroy is con-
victed on all of the charges and
gets the limit of each charge,
Judge Goss will have the pleas
ure of sending him up for about
sixty years. AS he is now nearly
80 years old he will be an old
man when he breathes free air
again, if he ever does.
Sullivan, Duffy, Robinson and
Hayes, the other robbers, have
entered pleas of guilty to each of
the six charges and expect to be
let off rather lightly by Judge
Goss. Just what they will get is
"a matter of conjecture at this
time, but it is not likely that they
will not get over twenty-five or
thirty years apiece. The judge
will probably be lenient because
they pleaded guilty.

Smith Was Short a Dollar.

After conducting business for
the county for two years, the
commissioners found that Clerk
of Court j. +. Smith was short
Just one dollar. This was owing
to an error in figuring accounts.
Mr.. Smith promptly paid the
dollar SO is square with Imperial
Ward. MIR. Smith keeps a good
set OF books and is willing to
check up at any time.
During the two years Mr.Smith
has collected and turued over to
the county SS,S76 fees, and the
total receipts turned over to the
county amounted to $9,992.
During the two years 2,5S2
mechanics liens were filed, or
more than during the entire his
tory OF the county before. From
these figures it will be seen that
Ward county is increasing its
business very rapidly.

SHOULD BUY 800
ACRES FOR POOR FARM
Such a Farm Should be Overseen
BY 4 Practical Farmer and It
will be Self.supporting Mi
not is Well.Iocated GeOgraph-
ically for This Farm.

The commissioners are now
debating quietly the proposition
of the poor farm for Ward coun-
ty but nothing will be done re-
garding the selecting OF the site
until spring, when the commits.
sioners hope to be able to visit
the sites offered. One is in favor
OF buying forty acres, another
one, hundred and sixty acres
while still another wants to ''dip
in" a little stronger than the
rest and buy a half section. This
the Independent thinks would be
the proper thing, for now that
land can be bought cheap, we
ought to secure all that we will
ever need and we believe that the
people OF the county will be sor-
~ the rest of their days ii we
buy less.
A county poor farm should be
self-supporting There are al
ways enough inmates to run a
farm.
A practical farmer, should be.
placed in charge OF the farm.
The Independent understands
that there is a fine piece OF land,
800 acres, a short distance out
OF Minot which can be bought
right, and after all Minot is the
only place in the county that
can expect to secure the farm,
owing to the geographical loca-
tiOn.

Hill Explains Coal Shortage

L. W. Hill who is in North Da-
kota, Investigating the coal
shortage, states that the retail
coal dealers Of the state are the
cause OF the coal shortage in a
degree. He states that those at
Larimore particularly, have
formed a combine and threaten
to boycott the Superior coal
shippers who sell to the dealers
not in the combine. This is a
new phase of the coal situation.
Mr.. Hill may be right to a GER
tain extent, but this reason does
not apply to Minot, we are sure.
