one year and two months in the pen

Tertiary sentence William Anderson,

make the sentence operative. This
.wassalso the case with j.. H. Arthur
of Nekoma, with the addition of his
paying costs amounting to $3.50.
In the way of fines and forfeited
bail this was rather profitable
term, as about $1,000 was secured in
this way, which will defray all the
expenses Of the criminal cases and
go along ways toward paying the
balance of the court expenses, which

80 Miles AN HOUR
WAS SPEED MADE BY PART OF

DOWN GRADE PAST MEDoRA--.
FORTUNATELY TRACK WAS
CLEAR.

Medora, N. d., July 31.-Special.- L.
Thursday evening about half past sew.
en- gravel train at Scoria, FIVE miles
east of here, broke IN two. The ca
5boose and eight loaded cars started
down the grade toward Medora, which
place was passed at the rate of about
eighty miles per hour, and continuing
across the Little Missouri bridge and
on down toward Andrews creek,
which was also crossed, and then on
the up grade along that creek for
some three miles to a point called
Windy Gap, where the train finally
stopped.
The section men followed the train
from Little Missouri to this latter
point on hand car, when when flag
men were sent out until the engine
came. When the train passed the
station here, the speed was SO great
that gravel from the loaded cars was
thrown with such violence that it
broke the windows in the station. 1t
was most fortunate that the track was
clear, for had this happened one hour
earlier, No. 3 would have been wreck
ed, and the loss of life would have
been great. y 81. u

Held in $4,000

Valley City, N. D., Aug. AT q
hearing this morning. Judge Burke
opened the Kelser case and on a
showing made by States Attorney
zuger, the court issued writ re-
turnable ON August s, citing the de-
fendant to appear and show cause
why his bond should not be increas-
ed from $2,5o0. In the meantime he
was recommitted to jail, and bail
fixed at $4,000.
It appears that the state has a
strong case against Kesler and Judge
Burke raised the bail to that figure.
This probably makes 1t impossible
to get bail unless Attorney Englert
can show that $500 is sufficient.
The efforts to get collateral security
has failed and there seems to be lit
tile hope that he will get bail.

per cent over the old style mills that

This new Electric Coffee Mill is
equipped with knives of razor sharp
ness, and cuts the berry into uniform
particles doesn't crush or grind it,,
and the little oil cells remain unbrok-
en-. The oil, known as ceffeine, can
not evaporate, and is preserved in

make from ten to twelve cups more of
full strength than will the same
