INCREASE REWARD
GOVERNOR BURKE WILL OFFER
81, 900 FOR MuRDERERs OF
.s .s ~, GRACE BURNS.

If the increasing Of the $500 reward,
already offered for the arrest and con-
viction of the murderer of Grace
Burns, who met horrible death in
the city of Fargo, and whose body was
found in the Red river on June "a last,
will aid in bringing the brute to earth,
Governor John Burke, in behalf of the
state of North Dakota, stands ready to
add ait least $1,000 to the reward Of
fered by the county commissioners Of
Cass county. 1 ~. d. +.
Grace Burns left her home in Fargo
about O'clock on the afternoon of
June p and disappeared as though the
earth had swallowed her Her mother,
Mrs. Hilda J. Burns, was working away
from home at the time Of theV young
girls disappearance, and on her re-
turn that evening at once instituted a
search, at the same time notifying the
police, but all endeavors to locate
Grace were unavailing until the after
noon of June "a, when her dead body
was found on the Moorhead side of the
Red river short distance from the
court house grounds. .z ;
| There was every indie. ION that she
had beel ~--craged and then killed by
strangulatton and from blow on the
| head which fractured the skull. The
| body was in such a state Of aeeemps
sition that further details OF the crime
could not be had from it, but foot
prints of where the young girl was
thrown into the water on the Fargo
side, near what was once known as
the old red brewery, were found, and
these fitted exactly with the shoes that
were worn by Grace when she left
home and which We're found on her
body as she was taken from the river.
The officials of county and cities IN
both sides of the river have been
working on the case ever since. There
have been several parties brought be-
fore the officers and interviewed, but
so far there has nothing very tangible
turned up. 1t is believed that this re-
ward, in addition to the $500 which
was offered by the commissioners of
Cass county, through Sheriff William
E. Hunt, will be the means of stimu-
lating even greater efforts than have
been made In the past.

GARRISON CELEBRATES
FIRST DAYS EVENTS PULLED OFF
WITH CONGRESSMAN MAR -
ls5 SHALL CHIEF SPEAKER.

Garrison, N. d.. Aug. 8.-This was
a big day for Garrison and tomorrow
will be hummer. 1t was awful hot
today, but the people came from every
direction and 800 or 400 Indians, riding
up and down the dusty streets, added
no little discomfort. a-.s I'll j.. i ."'
There were a thousand people in
today and another thousand are ex-
pected tomorrow. Senator McCumber
and Congressman Marshall arrived on
the 500 train from the south and,
as Mr.. Marshall was obliged to return
this afternoon, he addressed a large
and enthusiastic audience-the train
being held an hour or two in order
that he might return to Bismarck to-
night. -
Senator Hansbrough came dn from
the north and will speak tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock, and Senator
McCumber speaks at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon. ..'
All sorts of sports have BEEN pro-
.vfded and except for the terrible heat
the enjoyment was complete. s*

COUNTY AUDITORS
CAPITAL CITY SESSION OF couN-
~ CLERKS AROUSED coNsID-
.s% ERARLE INTEREST.

The meeting of the auditors Wednes-
day morning was rather informal and
was largely for agitating the policy
of equal assessment of property
throughout all the counties. A COM
mittee was appointed to outline the
discussions for the regular meeting
to be held next May at Fargo. The
appointment of a tax commissioner
who should devote his time to the
question of assessment and taxation
alone was discussed. 3
The question of the new assessment
Of grain was taken up and most Of
the auditors were rather hazy as to
how to go to work at it, (.
This meeting was held here so that
the auditors from the western part
of the state might attend and become
Interested in the work of the associ-
alton. They compared notes and ali
got new ideas from the meeting. This
has been the best attended meeting OF
the association held so far, but now
that they have become interested a
larger attendance of the western au
ditors is expected at future meetings

THE GENTRY SHOWS
THE oLD-TlME FAvoRiTEs WITH
BISMARCK AUDIENCES WILL
SHOW HERE TO-DAY.

At an early hour this morning the
Gentry shows arrived by special train
and the work of rushing up the first
canvas was begun and by noon ali
will be in readiness for the best show
of it's kind on the road
For many years the Gentrys have
pleased American audiences with their
trained animals, and year by year they
have increased the size of the show
and the number of attractions until
now they have enough equipment TO
require a long train, and the show may
more promperly be, called a circus
than the original dog show. And yet
1t is not a circus in the eomon nc.
ceptation O. the term, for there IS no
other show just like it-or any ways
near it. The Gentrys are tit,'' and all
lovers of animals will here find brute
education UP to dts highest standard.
There will be fine parade at noon
and show in the afternoon and in tbs
evening. No one can afford to miss
this, the most pleasing show on earth.

There were seventeen cases and seven

BY half-past six the stuff was all de-

with being in on the loot. In fact,
the matter reached such a stage Of
development that one of her relatives
settled with the colonel for stuff taken
from the store in order to avoid prose
cution. =.
The continued depredations and the
worry over the supposed infatuation
of Mrs Lovelace and the dead man are
thought to have had a serious effect
on the the defendant and to have been
responsible for his commission of the
crime-if he was guilty.
Anton Peterson, who was arrested
several weeks ago in connection with
the case, is regarded merely as an &C
complice in the disposition of the
body.

very badly and practically destroyed
