Indians Get Funny Sentence.

G L. Zimmerman, vice presi.
dent Of the First National Bank
of Mandan, upon his return from
the Standing Rock Indian reserva-
ton, where he transacted business
for several days. tells of a remark
able ruling of an Indian Judge and
jury in a case where an Indian
brought suit against an other In
dian for alternating his wife's af-
fections.
The trial lasted an entire week
and several witnesses were exa-
mined and, after due deliberation,
the court sentenced the defendant
to haul in eight loads of hay,
while the husband, who made the
charge, was ordered to haul in sew
en- loads, and the squaw was order
ed to sit by the roadside and keep
count as her husband and the de-
PENDANT carried out the courts Or
ders. q s.ss. !,
In conversing with an interpre-
ter afterwards Mr.. Zimmerman
CLEANED that the judge and jury,
in passing this remarkable SEN
tence, believedthat if the husband
had devoted the attention that he
should to make home life more
pleasant, the squaw would not
have been beguiled by an other.

Peterson Machine Co.'S. Editorial.

This is not a dream of the Rare
bit fiend, but a glorious Fact
We are really in earnest when We
say that we are going to reduce ou1
stock of Farm Implements. That's
why we are Offering them at prices
unheard of before. Competitors
don't seem to realize our in.
tenticns, and have been trying tc
beat our prices, but we know they
cannot continue. We are here.
and we have a enormous stock tc
dispose of, and we are going tc
force prices down, when as a
matter Of fact, manufacturers and
jobbers are advancing prices,
For instance; Following a SOB adj
vance last fall, there was, last week
another 5% advance put on farm
wagons, making the same wagon
cost the dealer Approximately $500
more than last year. Do you know
that we started out this spring with
IS wagons on hand from last sea-
son; These coast us$6.OO less than
they would right now, besides we
are cutting the old price all to
smithereens. The same applies to
gang plows. We were caugh
with an enormous stock on hand
which came in to late for last falls
trade, in fact everything in the
line of farm implements is going
to be sold at prices that will ap-
peal to you. W. want to make a
cleanup, and have decided that
this is the year todoit. We would
not be surprised to see wagons sell
for from $50 to 500 next year,
and everything in farm lmple-
ments will go skywards in like pro-
portion. Remember that all deal
ers have been up against gradual
advances for a year or two, but
have stood for it, but these adj
vances now amount to so much
that he must advance his price Tor
go out of business. We are not
going out of business. Weare not
advertising a "Closing out sale'' or
a "Fire Sale. It is a business
proposition to reduce a stock which
is to large. What isl our loss is
your gain.
Yours truly
