there were 6SS births and 2Sl deaths in
North Dakota during that period. The

of measles and 88 cases of small pox.

with fatal results. The figures are of
interest as in totals they demonstrate
the fact that although ten different con
tagious diseases are listed as having
been present in various parts of the
state during that period, combining to
make a total of 1926 cases. These only re-
suited in IS deaths, less than 20 per
cent of the total number of deaths in

FAIRDALE MURDER CASE.
The Victim of Otto Webere Proves to be
Heiress to Valuable Property.

"She did not use me right is what
Otto Weberg, the slayer of Miss Annie
Englerud, a waitress in a hotel at Fair
dale, has to say of his crime. Weberg,
who is in the county jail at Grafton,
evidences not the least sign of remorse
for his terrible crime. He talks of the
murder freely and seems to be glad he
killed the waitress. 1t is said the pre-
liminary hearing of Weberg will pro-
badly be held this week. 1t is believed
that he will waive examination and in
that case he will be bound over to the
district court. An inquest was held at
Fairdale a week ago but there is no tele-
phone connection with the place and the
result could not be learned. Weberg
was held responsible at the coroner's in
quest for his crime. The d~efense-in the
case will undoubtedly be insanity. The
father of the accused has been confined
in an asylum and Weberg has not been
regarded as being very strong mentally.
| Weberg made an attempt to kill Miss
Englerud several months ago, it is stat
ed, in the same hotel. Poor marksman-
ship saved her that time. She refused
to prosecute him. He created a distur-
bance a few days later and vas COM
PEELED to furnish a bond of 500 to keep
the peace. 1t has developed that Miss
Englesrud would, had she lived a few
days, have come into the possession of
$4,000 as her share of the money accru-
ing from her interest in an estate left by
her parents to herself and her brother
According to Fairdale people Weberg
hid in a pile of blankets in a restaurant
after killing Miss Englesrud. He was
employed at the time of the murder by
T. Noegeli as butchers assistant.

TIC IN a promoters Liable
TO become suspicious of each other
through lneXperience in Joint business
interests a farmers stock company
should be composed of men who are ac-
qualnted and have confidence in each
other so that the liability of strife be-
tween stockholders will be eliminated as
much as possible. The promoter cares
nothing for the success or failure of the
plant, consequently does not canvass
the field to see whether there are a
sufficient number of COWS kept by farm
ers who will patroniZe a creamery when
it is built. They are out for what they
can make and if a sufficient number of
reliable persons can be persuaded to
sign their contracts creamery will be
built costing from thirty-two to forty
five hundred dollars-the building and
equipment WILDE practically the same
in either case. If the farmers wish a
creamery let them call a meeting and
organize, appoint committees. do their
own business. save from one to two and
a half thousand dollars and have a
creamery that will be three times as apt
to be successful as a company organized
and plant built by a creamery shark
promotion schemer. The office of as
slstant dairy commissioner was created
to assist dairymen and | will arrange to
attend meetings where persons interest
ed wish to organize and built cream
cries. If you are not interested please
hand to some prominent farmer. who is
or to a local newspaper.

BOLD PRAIRIE WOLVES.
Wolf Stories from Over the County Show
Coyotes Made Bold by Hunger.

Wolves are more numerous in Cavalier
county this winter than for severalyears
past. The deep now appears to have
made them unusually bold and
\ farmer living neal Milton had his dog
snatched almost out of the sleigh by a
pack of wolves and torn limb from limb.
The dog attempted to leap into the
sleigh but was nabbed by the wolves be-
fore reaching safety.
Another wolf story comes over from
Munich way. 1t is told by Frank Wen
geler, who was driving to town his dog
running ahead of the team when it was
attacked by three prairie wolves. The
dog put up a hard fight but couldn t
beat off its assailants and was only saved
after Frank landed among them with a
neckyoke. when they decamped.
