MT. Pleasant township Debt.

During the summer we were
asked quite a number of times
something about the Mt Pleas
ant township Indebtedness and
what disposition was being made
of the money levied on the
property within the limits of the
township at the time the debt
was created. The following
statement taken from the Report
of Auditor Wilder gives the best
history Of that Indebtedness we
have seen. A careful reading of
same may enable the reader in
terested in that matter to figure
out what has become of the mon
ey he has been paying for the
last thirty-fye years.
This debt was originally $780,.

Marshal Reavley, of Nevada,
takes his full share of the blame
for calling out the militia at the
late big fire in that city. That's
right, Reayley, you did what you
believed, in an emergency, to be
the correct thing to do, and now
stand by it. There are lots of
people in this country who get
dreadfully scared at the exercise
of a little authority. Law abid-
ing people seldom object to
wholesome authority.

Ignite ASHES CAUSE FIRES.
Minot Suffers From Dangerous
Practice.

Minot Suffers From Dangerous
Practice.
Ignite ashes are causing great
many fires in Minot and the residents
of the city will do we'll to take extra
ordinary precautions in this respect.
The fire department has been called
out very often lately. and in most
instances Ignite ashes have been the
cause of the blaze.
The department had run to the
barn of F.. F. Tompkins on Fourth
street. The fire started in a pile Of
ashes near the corner of the barn.
Fortunately City Auditor Morrow was
rear the ground and extinguished the
Llaze before the department arrived.
1t is said that the recent fire at the
Minot Flour Mill company's plant was
causei by Ignite ashes. A blaze in
TIE ashes was put out forty-eight
hours before the second fire, and dur
ing this time smouldered beneath the
surface.
Fire in Ignite ashes is known to
keep alive for a week or ten days
Often there is no surface indication
and when the wind is just right the
blaze will break out. The residents CT
Minot should exercise great care In
disposing of the ashes. as serious con-
tiagration may result.

Samuel Van Schiyver had his pre-

This was the case of the state VS.. Van
Schuyler, who was accused OF killing
A. T. Gilliland in q saloon kept by a
man named Devine. at place where
the Milwaukee road crosses the Little
Missouri river. in Billings county.
Gilliland was a contractor, and from
the evidence it seems was very quar-.
relsome when intoxicated; that on
Oct. 10 lie, with others, visited the De-
vine saloon, where he became engaged
in row with the bartender, Van
Schuyler, and threatened the life Of
the latter, and drew gun upon him,
when lie was shot and killel by Van
Schuyler, as he claims. In self-defense.
There was evidence that another
man, who is now in the Dickinson hos.
pital, was shot in the leg on the same
day. ana the defense claimed that this
thooting was also done by Gilliland.
It seems there was much shooting and
fighting around the place all the day.

Queer Case of eiaamy.

Testimony was taken at Gilby. N.
D., in an interesting case from Onta-
rio, in which the liberty and happiness
of William e. Switzer is involved. Ri
gamy has been charged against Swift
ger, and the testimony secured at Gill
by is to be used in his defense. Clerk
Spaulding of the district court took
the dispositions ut Gilby and Attorney
T. D. Casey of Grafton appeared for
Switzer. and Attorney Fred Duggan
Of Grand Forks, as kings counsel, es-
pecially named for the purpose. The
testimony at Gilby related largely to
the conduct of Switzer's first wife and
did not particularly refer to his pres
ent troubles.
Switzer is Canadian. He lived for
quite while at Strathcalire, Mani
toba. He separated from his wife while
there and went to Dickinson, N. D.,
where he secured divorce, after liv-
ing the required time. He failed to de-
clare his intention of becoming an
American citizen during his stay on
this side of the border. At Pembina
he married Canadian girl, and they
returned to Canada to make their resi-
dence in that country.
After his return to Ontario with a
new wife there was great sensation,
and his arrest was soon brought about.
In the eyes of the Canadian law, It is
stated, the divorce case granted in
North Dakota Is worthless, and Swift
ger is Just as much of a bigamist ms
though he had never been divorced
from his first wife.
Had Switzer resided here a sufficient
length of time and become citizen of
the United States he could have re-
married, and would have escape I
prosecution upon his return to Canada,
it is stated. Attorneys who are famil-
lar with the Canadian laws and courts
state that Switzer stands poor show
of escaping prison.

Farmer hanaa himself

The peaceful little village of Tolley
was Mortified to learn that John Ha-
kinson had committed suicide by
hanging himself to rafter In the coal
shed adjoining the granary OH his
farm. The exact cause of the rash act
is not definitely known, although it Is
thought that worry over his financial
embarrassment, together with small.
crop was too much for him to With
stand-preferring death to facing his
.reditors.
Mr.. Hakinson emigrated from Verm.
land, Sweden, about 1877, and took up
his residence near Farwell, MIMI.
where he married and lived until he
came to North Dakota about seven
years ago, and filed on his homestead,
three miles northwest OF Tolley, where
he lived with his family snce. He
was a peaceful citizen and neighbor,
and no one ever suspected that thus
would he end his career after sixty
dive years of existence.
