\ And now the party has turned the
bend. Their ioility increases tenfold,
and they whip their frisking ponies
into a gallop. They are racing with
each other. AS they near the spot.
where the men are concealed the speed
of the ponies increases. The first
thug, fearing lest they pass him, ut.
tiers a groan Of disInay The riders,
who are now opposite the strangers,
halt at the sound. Instantly another
sound is heard, like the cry of a wild
pheasant. Another follows, then am
other, but this time less audibiy, as
if the bird has already winged Its
flight to distant tree.
The thug has thus made amends for
his imprudence. By Initiating the cry
of bird he has deceived his victims.
With still louder laughter the riders
whip up their ponies. Like specters in
the night, -four forms rise out Of the
darkness. -Four cords are unwound
from their girdles, and the strangers
fling the nooses at the travellers. Like
the sound of a stone from a sling each
cord whizzes through ahe air. The
moose encircles the neck, and a small
oval ball of lead strikes the back OF
the head The blow has been of such
violence that the rider is stunned He
looses his reins and falls to the ground
Immediately the loop is tightened.
The eyes bulge, the lips swell, and the
tongue rigidly protrudes. The cord is
drawn still tighter Two minutes later
the four merry are dead.
Quickly the murderers rush to their
victims, loosen the cords and carry the
bodies to the forest, where the re
mainder of the band is. They receive
congratulations and feast In honor Of
their success. Later the bodies are
stripped of their vaiuables. Shallow
holes are then dug In the ground, 8

The method used by the best sugar
refineries is substantially as follows:
The raw sugar Is dissolved in large
cisterns on the ground floor, enough
hot water being added to produce a
specific gravity Of 20. The solution
is then drawn through connecting
pipe having a coarse wire strainer into
large pumps, by which It Is pumped
into the highest story Of the building,
usually the seventh or eighth. 1t there
passes into vessels heated by steam
coils to temperature OF about 210 F.
Milk of lime is added to the solution In
these pans for the purpose of neutral
izing any acid which 1t may contain.
From these pans the liquid passes
down to the next floor, where 1t is I'll,

Sad CASE

HELPING HUSBAND HOLD
DOWN A CLAIM
/. WIDOW is STRIPPED OF MEANS
or LIVING UNDER STATE
LAW.

One Of the rankest cases of injustice
to woman has recently taken place
In this county ..,&l u 3
In 1896 Neil Edwards and his wife
squatted on land in the old Fort Lin-
coin reservation When the land was
surveyed they took up a homestead.
During the ten years past they had a
hard struggle for existence, the wife
working very hard to help make ends
meet, and DIT was especially hard for
her as during the past three or four
years the husband was unable to do
any hard work on account of heart
trouble and other ailments.
On May s, 1907, on account of lack
of means, Neil was brought into town.
aand about s o'clock in the evening
one of the county commissioners, G. F.
Massingham, took charge of him. The
wife at this time had about ten cents
TO support her.
May 10th, at 7:'30 o'clock p. M, Neil
Edwards died. May 18th at 2:30 p. m.
he was buried. The widow learning
the news of his death at about 10
O'Clock the morning of the 18th. M
After his death the widow was mott
fled by C. f. Massingham, claiming
as executor, that the said Neil Ed
wards had made a will. On examina-
aeion of the will, which was dated May
S, 1907, lit was found that the will
gave the widow the estate for life,
and after her death it was devised to

During the funeral all the animals
were brought off the homestead
and taken to the G. f. Massingham
ranch, he claiming them under a bill
of sale from Edwards.
The will has been contested on the
ground OF undue influence and insanity
4 of the deceased.
The widow, since the death of her
1 husband, has had to sell the hay on
the place and some of the furniture te
get money to live ON.
To many DIT would seem impossible
that a husband could devise the home
away from the widow, so that sht
'scol1ld only have a life estate, in thu
enlightened state OF North Dakota
but one of the rankest pieces Of legis
Iation permits this, according to sec
i tion 5076 of the revised codes of Norti
Dakota of 1905, which states:
Subject to the homestead estat,
(which in this case is a life estate)
4 the homestead may be devised to othe
persons like other real property OF tn,
6estator.' =
The widow at this time finds her
self without means and the onl
source of income onethird interes
in the crops to live ON, which is no
sufficient.

RICHMOND DAY.

The Council has made a suitable APP
preparation for the celebration of Rich
rlond Day at the jamestown EXPOSE
ton, and it is taken for granted that
the Board OF Aldermen will concur.
Richmond will make a fine display and
impress the assembled crowd with her
Importance as a trade and financial
centre, and with the loyalty of her
people.
But no matter about the impression
on others. 1t will be public bene-
fit and in the interest of public spirit
and civic pride for the people to jour
ney away together march under Nc
Carthy's flag and shout for Richmond,
Let US make a glorious day of it.
Nothing that her sons and daughters
may do will be TOO glorious for Rich
