SAMUEL WOOD FINDS TREASURE
Uneat1hs Can Near G. a. c. Shaft
Filled With Twenties.

WIN NNANACos
What do you think OF this?" ex-
claimed Sam Wood as he displayed a
lobster can filled with twenty-dollar
pieces at the c. & C. shaft this morn
ing. They're all right" replied
Carpenter Bullmer, after inspecting
one of the twenties, "all they want
is to be cleaned of dirt" Mr.. Bull
mer says there were thirty-six TWEEN
| ties in the can, which bore evidence
of having been buried many years.
Mr.. Wood on being Intercepted
as to where he found the hidden
treasure, denied the story, but it is
shrewdly suspected that the alleged
find was made near the G. & C. shaft
on the site of cottage formerly &C.
cupied by Alexander Goyette and his
family.
On the night of June 81, 1881,
Alexander Goyette, while crazed with
/ drink, was taken to his home by

shot Lafraignaire through the body
and wounded Monjeau and Calix
Langlois, and then shot himself.
Lafraignaire died, but Goyette re-
covered and served term in State
4 prison. 1t is supposed the coin said
to- have been found by Mr.. Wood,
was buried by one of the occupants
of the Goyette cottage.
i The only fishy part of the forego-

cluded in the deal are the following
claims and fractions: The Good

The deal is known to involve a con-
sideration of more than $100,000 as
that figure has been refused several
times by the owner.
The transaction is one of the most
important made in some weeks, as 1t
means the opening of another big
producer in the bonanza belt. The
property lies between the Duplex and
the Quartette, and sidelines on the
north the Golden Treasure and Hid
den Treasure claims of the latter
property.
The Good Hope was once taken un-
der lease and bond by the Brockman
interests and a shaft sent down on
an incline 900 feet, from which a
drift was run 400 feet. These work
ings brought forth considerable rich
ore and also opened a large body
of low grade. 1t is estimated thai
there is now showing in the mine
$500, 900 worth of this latter prod

Chosen at City Election Tuesday Are
All of Them Good Men

An election for a boardssof five
Park Commissioners was held in
the city Tuesday. This was the
first election Of the sort ever
held in the city and was made
constitutional by reason of the
recent statute passed by tn e
North Dakota legislature. There
were five different tickets in the
field, each bearing five names,
"a s)rt Of a "Chinese puzzle"
confronted the voter, and many
votes were cast out o.. account
of either being unintelligible or
irregular. The vote cast was
quite light, however, only 1856
being counted. T hree polling
places were in operation, the
city hall, the sherif's office
and Peter Haley's office.
By the time the tired and rath-
err cross C. Jerks and judges had
completed their stupenduos job
it was found that the new board
elected was as follows;
F. H. Prosser, one year, R.
Daeley, two years, Howar
Whipple three years, c. M.
Fisher, four years, F. p. Mann,
five years.
The men elected are all push.
ing, active citizens, with the vel.
fare Of the city at heart, and we
are now in 8 ur ed of a gooc

Bisbee, Milo, Overly and Rol-

ed several farmers in each To-
cality and took special notice of
the crop outlook. He says from
the information he ascertained
and from his own observations
the entire crop throughout that
section, with a few exceptions,
will be every bit as good as last
year. Especially so is this true
of the wheat crop. The barley,
that is what there was Of it that
was not cut and which was left
to withstand the high winds of
the past two weeks, is one-third
shelled out.

VIM. Hurst is Exhonerated From
Charge of Malicious Destruction

Charge of Malicious Destruction
The case of VIM. Hurst, who
was arrested at the instance Of
A. B. Kerlin, charged Wild NAL
iciously cutting telephone wires
belonging to the complainant.
was tried before Judge Henry
Tuesday morning. After hear
ing the evidence introduced by
both sides, and hearing lengthy
arguments by States Attorney
Serumgard and Attorney Fred
Traynor, representing the pros
ecution, and the defence, the
judge discharged the prisoner.
The contention was that Hurst
was engaged in moving a house
which belonged to the Great
Northern railroad from near the
city dumping ground to d lot
west of the Farmers mill, and
in order to move the house some
| of Kerlin's wires leading to
! Starkweather and points along
the Farmers line had to be cut.
Hurst claims that he gave Ker-
lin 48 hours notice, and at the
end of that time, as the wires
had not as yet been touched, ad-
mitted that he then cut them.
From the evidence given at the
preliminary hearing this fact
j was brought out and formed the
basis Of the defense, that there
fore the wires were not cut with
malicious intent. Principally
on these. grounds the Judge dis
charged the prisoner, instead OF
binding him over to await the
action Of the district court.

Il" der Management of Vanderhoof
Monday of this week the
Eagle restaurant closed it's doors
and will remain closed for about
six weeks. This was made nee
essary on account of the great
improvements which are under
way at that place. When the
popular little eating house opens
again it will have been trans
formed into an up-to-date first
class European hotel. 1t is the
intention of VIM. Vanderhoof,
the proprietor, to occupy the en-
tire second floor of tie new
Flynn building, part Of the first
floor and the basement in unning
a hotel of thirty-fve rooms, a
dining room and restaurant. In
the basement will be the wash
room, and on the first floor the
eating rooms and the office. The
bed and bath rooms will be sit
uated on the second floor. 1t is
the intention of the management
to get the hotel up in the most
modern and up to date manner.
Gas and electric light will be
used for lighting purposes, and
steam heat for heating. The
furniture and fixings for the
house have been already con-
tracted for, and are bought en-
tirely from local merchants.

Mr.. Vanderhoof believes in pat.

1t has not yet been decided
what to name the new hotel, but
it is probable that the old name
of the restaurant-the Eagle
will be retained. AS it is in 6
splendid location, being situated
near the Great Northern depot,
and as the management ha;
proved popular with the public
Of the city, it is safe to predic'
a grand success for the new en-
terprise.
