The Independent is glad to
note the fact that Martin Stigen,
the young man who was thought
to have been killed in the Bart
lett wreck, has turned up safe
and sound after two weeks sus-
pense on the part of his mother
and other friends and relatives.
Martin intended boarding the
Oriental Limited but changed his
mind and went to the eastern
part of the state to visit his rel
atives a few days. He is now at
the home of his uncle near this
city.
Bill Snyder, the big good ma
tured Teutonic farmer from up
the Mouse, was in the city Satur-
day, Bill says it's a shame that
so much good beer has to be de.
stroyed. He suggests that the
farmer be given an opportunity
of assisting in it's destruction
and manifested his willingness to
taking home a good sized jag
himself. Altho Bill would like
to see North Dakota a license
state, he believes that Gov.
Burke is enforcing the prohibi.
ton law about right.

Fined for Beating Machine
Agents.

Richard Klimple, Of Sawyer,
was fined $40 and costs, amount
ing in all to $72, for striking E.
is. Treadwell and one Nelson, two
representatives of the ]. I. Case
Threshing Co. who were sent to
the Klimple farm to recover a
threshing machine sold last year.
The case was called yesterday
afternoon before Judge Murray
in the city hall and was tried be-
fore a jury.
Albert Klimple bought a ST.
800 threshing machine last sea-
son, representing that he had q
quarter Of land unincumbered, 50
the agents say. This land was
transferred over into his moth
er:s name, and the Case people
were able to tie up only about
$500 Of Klimple's money. The
agents went to the Klimple Tome
Saturday for the money, security
or the rig, and Klimple said they
would have to take the machine.
This they did, and when they got
into Sawyer Saturday night there
was something doing. Treadvell
says six or eight fellows jumped
onto himselfland partner. Tread
well received a terrible blow in
the eye, badly disfiguring that
member, and says some one
kicked him in the back. His lip
was cut. Nelson was struck over
the eye.

Skeleton Found at Palermo.

A skeleton was found near
Palermo last week on the Lars
Hollicum farm. It was that Of a
human being, and the fact that it
was very close to the surface of
the earth makes the case look
suspicious. A tin match box,
buckle. and one or two trinkets
makes it appear as tho the skele-
to is that Of a man. Perhaps in
the early days some foul murder
was committed and the remains
buried in q shallow grave.
