BOWMAN LOTS BRING BIG COIN.
Lot Sale Of Milwaukee Townsite Com
pany a Grand Success.

Lot Sale Of Milwaukee Townsite Com.
pany Grand Success.
The sale of town lots at Bowman by
the Milwaukee railroad townsite off,
Gals was great success in every
sense of the word, both in point of at
tendance and in prices brought.
There were about $500 people at
the sale. Many of them were persons
who had camped there waiting for the
sale of lots, but large majority Of
the crown were outsiders. The first
choice brought $1,75O, the second
brought 5000, the third 31,100, the
fourth $500, the fifth 5000, the sixth
$500. Residence lots sold for $11O.
In all 178 lots were disposed of and
the total amount realized was $43,O11.
Parties who were questioned regard
ing the report that the Milwaukee road
will be completed as far as Miles City,
Mont, within four days, were consid.
erably skeptdcal as to its truth. They
say that the tracklayers are not six
miles west Of Bowman. Marmath. the
next town to the west, is about twenty.
eight miles from Bowman on the Little
Missouri and it is a big question
whether the remaining twenty-five
miles can be laid and connected with
the road west Of the Little Missouri
within that many days.

FIVE YEARS FOR MILLER.
Mckenzie County Man Found Guilty Of
Horse Stealing.

Mckenzie County Man Found Guilty Of
Horse Stealing.
Bob Miller has been found guilty OF
horse stealing at Williston. 1t was
claimed that Miller and a man named
Cox had stolen horses from DR.. Day,
rancher in Mckenzie county. He was
arrested at Bottineau and taken to
Schafer. The case came up at the
term of court held about six weeks
ago in Mckenzie county, before Judge
Winchester. A change Of venue was
asked by the defendant. who claimed
that he could not get fair trial in
that county. as the people were preju-
diced. It was refused. An affidavit of
prejudice was then filed against the
Judge, but was afterward withdrawn.
On the evening court adjourned at
schafer, Miller made a dastardly as.
sault on Attorney Bessie, who had
been assisting in prosecuting the case,
as the latter was stepping into the ho-
tel, breaking his jaw. The people
wanted to lynch him, but Mr.. Bessie
prevented 1t. Miller was thereafter
closely guarded, and was taken to Mi.
not, where he was confined until the
coonvening Of court at Mandan last
Monday. Mr. Bessie assisted States
Attorney Norheim in prosecuting the
case at Mandan. The Jury was out
five minutes. when they returned a
verdict of guilty. The Judge sentenced
him to five years in the penitentiary.

CUTS THROAT WHILE ASLEEP.
Farmer Wakes to Find He Has At
tempted Suicide.


tempted Suicide.
With a cash seven inches long and
through the windpipe in his neck, four
ugly cuts through the arteries of the
wrist and seven punctures above the
heart Ole j. Germundson, Sawyer
farmer, is lying at the Ward county
hospital at Minot on the fair road to
recovery.
Germundson slept Saturday night at
the Merchants hotel in Sawyer and
was discovered in the morning lying in
pool of blood.
The tale he tells, which is carried
out by the wounds, is one of the most
CHASTITY ever heard by the professional
men of the city. He claims he awoke
from a sound sleep only in the morn
ing to find himself attempting to carve
his body up. Seven jabs were made
at his heart with rusty knife which
lie carried, but none of them took ef-
feet, only penetrating the skin. The
man then gashed both wrists, cutting
through the large arteries which run
through that part of the body. Not
satisfied with this he made a slash at
his neck. The first cut merely cut the
skin and did not penetrate as far as
the man desided. The knife was then
inserted below the right ear. and
drawn across the neck to the other
ear, making cash seven inches long,
and when his head was thrown back,
four inches wide.
1t extended down to the windpipe in
one place cutting through portion Of
the cartilage surrounding the channel.
When interviewed the man claimed
that he had no intention of committing
suicide. but that he awoke to find that
he had done the deed. He claimed that
the idea was SO strong upon him that
he could not stop. He said that last
year he had the typhoid fever and that
he has not felt right since. He also
stated that he felt another attack COM
ing on. 1t is believed that the previ.
oous illness had some effect on the
mans reason.

DISCARD VERTICAL PENMANsHIP.
North Dakota Returns to Individual.
Ism In Writing.

North Dakota Returns to Individual
Ism In Writing.
The vertical system of penmanship
has been discarded in the new course
of study for the common schools of
North Dakota. This action was taken
at a meeting of the committee on
schools. This committee consists of
State Superintendent Rockwell and
County Superintendent Black of Rich
land county, Mcdonald of McHenry
county, Miss Nelson of B1rnes coun.
ty, Sherat Of Pembina county and
Hutchinson Of Ransom county.
Vertical penmanship has had quite
run in North Dakota, despite strenu-
GUS opposition from business people
and many educators. It was calssed
as a fad which would soon pass away.
and the predictions seem to have been
fulfilled.
The committee has also decided
upon the revision of the courses of
study in reading and in language and
grammar.
While the revised co,vse may not
be in print this school year it is hoped
to have it ready for the summer
schools for teachers next season. In
the future the preparation of the
eighth grade final examinations will
be under the supervision of the com.
mittee.

LIQUOR LAW Is INVALID.
In Conflict With the Interstate Com.
merce Act, Says Judge Templeton.

In Conflict With the Interstate Com.
merce Act, Says Judge Tempieton.
In a decision Judge c. F. Temple.
ton of the district court at Grand
Forks declares the liquor seizure law
to be invalid. The decision is made
in the case of w. L. Girton v. T, E.
Metcalf, as police magistrate of the
city of Lakota, N. D. The constitu-
ttonality of the law authorizing the
seizure of liquor imported into the
state as a beverage was attacked on
several grounds by the attorney for
the plaintiff. First it was contended
that the statute is unconstitutional be.
cause trial by jury is not permitted
under it's provisions. The court does
not think that this statute conflicts
with that section of the constitution
which guarantees the right of trial by
Jury.
The second contention was that the
state contravenes section 10 of the
declaration of rights. The court holds
this phase of the statute valid.
The third contention was that the
statute is in conflict with section 112
of the constitution, relating to the ju.
risdiction of justices. This contention
is sustained by the court.
The fourth contention is that the
statute is void because it violates the
commerce clause of the federal consti.
tuition. The court holds that this point
is we'll taken.
This is the first time that the new
law has been held unconstitutional.
In Bottineau case Judge Templeton,
who was presiding for Judge Burr.
held that seizure of liquor made be-
fore liquor had been removed from
the depot platform to the depot was
illegal for the reason that it was sub.
ject to interstate commerce until de.
livered.

SCHOOLS WILL MAKE EXHIBITS,
President Scott Makes Plans for Next
Fair

William A. Scott, president of the
North Dakota State Fair association,
has appointed Supt Hoover and the
principals of the different schools in
Fargo to constitute a committee to
make arrangements for the educational
exhibits which will be entered at the
next state fair which will be held at
Fargo in July, 1908.
This committee is to arrange and
classify the prizes which will be
awarded for this class of exhibits and
they have held one meeting and are at
work upon this classification. 1t will
possibly be some time before this
work is completed but it will be finish
ed In plenty of time to give all the
schools time to prepare their exhibits.
Last year considerable trouble was ex-
perienced because the prizes were not
made known until the catalogue of
prizes had been published and many of
the prizes did not correspond with the
work done. This year by having this
committee arrange this schedule of
prizes the schools will be given plenty
Of time in which to prepare the exhib-
it's and also know just what kind of
exhibits will be awarded prizes.
The educational feature of these
fairs is one of the principal attractions
and great interest has been taken by
the pupils and schools in preparing ex-
hibits. This feature at the next fair
will undoubtedly be very attractive
and suitable prizes will be awarded to
those that excel.

FIRE THREATENED CROSBY.
Citizens Used Chemical and Ex
tinquIshed Blaze.

Sweepage from the gasoline lighting
plant caused fire to catch in the
draperies in the store of r. R. Her
ring at Crosby. The prompt and eff.
ficient use of chemical extinguisher
probably saved the entire town, as the
burning of the building in which the
fire started would have rapidly spread
the flames to other buildings. AS 1t
was, there was only a small amount of
damage done.

The Army.
OF the army the president says:
"its standard Of efficiency and instruc-
ton is higher now than ever in the past.
But it is too small. There are not enough
tain In peace a fairly complete skeleton
of a large army. A. great and long con-
tinued war would have to be fought by
fore any large body Of efficient volunteers
could be put in the field, and our regular
army should be large enough to meet any
immediate need. In particular 1t is essen
extra officers trained in peace to perform
efficiently the duties urgently REQUIRED
upon the breaking out of war;"
The Navy.
In the opinion Of the president It would
be most unwise for US to stop the up

The religious side must come first
as the inspiration to perform our du-
ties toward men. Love to God our
Father will necessarily lead to love to
cur fellow men. his children.
When our hearts are filed with love
to God and man, then they are no
longer restraints, but guides as to the
way our love should express itself.
They are like fences by the roadside,
showing us the way to 60.
These commandments are to con-
vince us Of sin. AS we stand beside
this ideal we realize how far short we
have come.
