Prof. Dunaevski, of the Minot Ac-
ademy of Music, has secured the SER
vices of Prof. Rudolph Foret, as violin
teacher.
Prof. Foret is graduate OF the
Conservatory of Prague, Germany,
and studied under the direction OF

He speaks three languages fuently,
English. German and Bohemian,
which will be of great assistance to
him in his work. He takes up his
work as teacher in the Minot Acade'

Prof Dunaevski realizes that it is
only matter of few years until MI

Prospects Very Bright

Reports from the country say that
the prospects for A. V. Swanson, for
sheriff of Ward county, are very
bright. Mr.. Swanson is making q
good clean campaign and everywhere
that he goes, it is very noticeable that
the people have excellent memories
and remember how we'll Mr.. Swanson
stood by the tax payers when he was
county commissioner. It is believed
that Mr.. Swanson will land three
fourths Of the farmer vote, and in
many localities the other fellow will
scarcely get "look i'm
At Bowbells he is getting to be par
ticularly strong. Dick Steinhofer WHO
pretended to be candidate for. the
Office for several months has pulled

is good enough fellow, but the 1ndc~
pendnet did not consider for NOM
ent that he was in earnest when he
was in the race, for he did not even
place his annoucemet in a single
newspaper. Dick probably wanted to
; gather strength and trade it off. The
people of Bowbells who were support

How he will get away from It, NO one
dreams, but some believe that he will

ueck stretched.
Noah has been very CONFIDENTIAL
with one Of the deputy sheri1s. He
has made light Of his sentence 50
far, but it is fact that he is q cow
ard at heart and We firmly believe
that he will collapse before he steps
up onto the scaflold. He told one sl
the deputies that he killed the old

he had done SO, and he never would.
He says that he did not kill Johnson

Ing an outside cellar way anyway.
Some believe that Coyle is innocent
Of the crime and that Noah intended
to sell the grain and then skip, leav.
ing Coyle to face the music and an.
swer to the charge Of murder.
The case will be finished today, 1t
is believed.
Patsy Coyle, who was tried on the
charge OF being an accessory before
the tact, in connection with the John.
son murder at Kenmare, was acquit.
ted by the jury this morning at 10
o'clock. The jury was out all last
night and had hard time arriving at
a verdict.
While there was no direct evidence
to show that Coyle had anything to
do with the murder, the circumstan'
tial evidence was quite strong, and e
can thank his lucky stars that he is
a free man.
The Judge in making few remarks
concerning the verdiit, stated that III
doubtedly it was because Gayle had
already spent year in the peniten
tiary, that the case appeared Sc
strong against him.
Coyle was given his freedom at
once.

Seeding Has Begun

Seeding operations are now general
over the entire state, according to in
formation received in Grand Forks to-
day. From the Red river to the west
ern boundary line, farmers every
where are busily engaged in their an
nual spring work, and conditions for
this work, it is said, were never
better.
The ground is in excellent shape
just at present. All OF the snow has
left and there is very little water on
the fields, except in low and marshy.
places. The frost has left the upper
part of the ground, although deeper
down there is still some left. This,
however, will serve to keep the earth
in good shape for some time to come.
Farmers are well pleased with the
prospects this year. Last year seed
ing operations were fully three weeks
later than they are this year and this
in itself is great factor which will
tend toward better crops.
Very few reports as to the acreage
of grain that win be given have been
received here as yet, but in the west
ern part of the state it lis certain that
there will be big increase, as
many new settlers have arrived in
the country Those who have been
there the past several years are also
planning on larger acreage this year,
so that with the right conditions pre-
vailing during tn eseason, North Da-
kota should produce its greatest crop
this year.
