LITTLE SPIRIT
CALLED ON HIN
Negro Told to Wed Beautiful
White Girl

Grand Forks, NJ D., Aug. 1a.-Gus
Allison, colored. is hardly crazy
enough to go to an asylum, but is
pretty daffy on some subjects, the
board Of insanity has decided. When
called before the board yesterday, he
explained that his home is In Cal
gary, Canada. and that while there a
spirit he called 20 Father came to
him and told him to come to Grand
Forks and get married. He accord
ingly came here and tried to get a
beautiful white girl to marry him, but
her father had him arrested on a
charge of insanity.
The same spirit has often appeared
to him before. The first time was at
Frontenac. Ill. He described the spirit
as about three and one half feet in
height and between yellow and white
In color. The spirit always came into
the darEey's room and sat down and
talked to him, he said.
Tf Allison is willing to return to Cal
gary and annoy the Grand Forks wo-
man no more, he will probably be
placed on the north bound train to-
day. The father OF the girl has a
shotgun handy and proposes to use

The negro has $50 in his possession
and this will be more than enough to
take him back to Calgary.

half ounce ball has 600-feot pull
These bullets kill at 1000 feet.
William Patten lives at go West
One Hundred Thirty-six street. New
York City He got the idea for his
new gun from seeing fly wheel burst.
That was five years ago in the place
where Mr.. Patten was born. He came
here eighteen months ago and began
in the model of his gun, which he had
in his mind ever since leaving Eng
land. One advantage of this gun is
that there is no smoke and the firing
is absolutely noiseless. Another great
advantage is its economy, for there
is no expense connected with it ex-
cept for the original apparatus and
the cost of the steel bullets. No
shells, powder or workmanship is re-
quired The model shown above is OF
brass and looks like a meat chop
per and is on the order of a cyltndri-
cal pencil sharpener. Mr.. Patten has
been in communication with the colin-
Gil in New York and also in South
America with view to having his
gun adapted for use against snug
glers. 1t is said the United States will
have first chance at his gun for use
in the army or navy.

The modern rife is so far in, adj
vance of the ancient bow and arrow
that we sometimes think perfection
has been attained. Never was the
fallacy of this more clearly demon
strated than during the past month,
when William Patten's demonstrations
with his new powderless, non -explo-
sive gun proved that powder was no
longer necessary. 1t is altogether too
early to definitely state as to wheth
er this invention is to take the place
of rifles in warfare, but IL is claimed
by the inventor, and his demonstra-
tions have given strong proof that this
will be the case. With this simple gun,
less than six feet long. it is possible
to fire $4,000 shots a minute. 1t would
do more deadly execution in few
minutes than the union and Confed-
crate armies did at Gettysburg. 1t
would weigh 500 pounds and could be
carried in an automobile very handily.
PaLtens gun uses no powder, the steel
bullets being fired from the turning Of
crank. The bullets are drawn in by
a vacuum and carried with tremen-
dous force around the cylinder and
then expelled with such force that

WEALTH OF N. D. GROWS
Land and Other Values Have TrehIed
Within Easy Recollection of
the Oldest Pioneer.

Bismarck Tribune: The wealth OF
North Dakota is growing rapidly, al
though the total assessed valuation of
the state does not by any means rep
resent the total wealth, since property
is assessed at a figure variously es-
timated from is to 40 per cent of it's
value. The growth of the state, how
ever, can be indicated by the increases
in the assessed valuation over the to-
tai OF ten and fifteen years ago. In
the early nineties, the total assessed
valuation was less than a hundred
million. This figure has been growing
until the total figures at the close of
the present session Will be some
thing like $230,000 900. And this total
Is an increase of nearly hundred
million dollars in the past six years.
Total values In the state have nearly
doubled within easy recollection. They
will double again In the next twenty
years at the present gradual rate OF
increase. The present valuation, based
on proportion of the real value Of
property affords funds enough for the
transaction of the states business.
keeps debt limits down far below what
they would be at real value basis.
and forces the people to be in a slight
measure economical. If the vaIua-
tion were SO largely increased that big
increases In taxes and bond issues
were possible, we are not sure but ad-
vantage would be taken OF the con-
dition, 70 the questionable benefit OF
the state and the several communities
There may be some arguments in ia
vor of real value assessment, but there
are some against 1t that are worthy
OF careful consideration.

GOODRIE FACES
5 YEARS in Pen
Must Be Good or Serve the
Sentence

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 13.--Alex.
Goodrie, a half breed. must be good
or he will go to the penirentiary for
five years. Judge c. F. Templeton
yesterday had the prisoner before him
and he entered a plea of guilty to a
charge of grand larceny He had
stolen $40 from Bertha Tanning.
Goodrie had Charles McMullen, a
young attorney who had nothing 10
say except that the prisoner desired
TO plead guilty. States Attorney
Wineman appeared for the state.
The prosecuting witness was nor
very anxious to appear against Good
rie, being in sympathy with the wife
of the prisoner, and believing Goodrie
should have another chance, despite
his criminal record.
Judge Templeton warned the pris-
oner that the first time he should be
detected again violating the law he
would be. brought into court and SEN
fenced to serve five years in the peni-
tentiary.
Goodrie promised TO quit thieving
and go to work. He can run an engine
and claims TO have job which will
pay him $6 a day awaiting him.
The result of the experiment will be
watched with interest, especially by
the people who know Goodrie. He
furnished bond in the sum of $500
to insure his appearance in district
court.

Devils Lake. N D., Aug. 1s.-Yes-
terday afternoon Coroner Gilbertson
was notified of the death, by suicide. Of
Babe" Wright. an adopted daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs Wright, who are liv-
ing on the Henry King farm near
Derrick on the Lakota branch of the
Great Northern. The deceased girl
was 16 years of age, had been out in
company with a young man Monday
evening, and the first inkling which
her parents received of anything
wrong came when the girls mother
called her yesterday morning and dis
covered the dead body of her daughter
with an empty bottle of carbolic acid
near by. The case was plainly one OF
suicide and Coroner Gilbertson, who
left the city at once for Derrick in
company with Deputy Sheriff Frye,
decided not to hold an inquest. The
death of the girl has aroused con-
siderable interest throughout the
northeastern portion of the county.
where she was we'll known and re-
spected by a large number of friends.
The remains are being embalmed to-
day and will be shipped east for

VALUABLE HORSES
ARE CRfMATED
Barn and Other Property De-
stroyed by Flames

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 13.-At
about midnight Tuesday night a Are
alarm was turned In from the resi-
dence of Charles Kurth and before the
firemen could reach the spot about
two-thir1s Of the damage had n.cn
done, the barn was almost in ashes
and two horses had already been
burned
Mr. Kurth and Gene Clark stood on
the porch at the back of the house
talking until nearly IL o'clock and Mr..
Kurth went into the house to retire.
He had Just got into bed when the
horses and dogs started racket and
he hurried down stairs to And out
what was wrong and upon going to
the window saw his barn enveloped in
flames. He hurried out, but was too
late to save anything but his rigs,
which were In the buggy shed.
The horses lost were valuable ones
and Mr. Kurth says he will be unable
to replace them with as good ones in
this vicinity. Several sets Of harness.
saddles, and great many tools were
also in the barn besides a great deal
OF oats and hay: $500 insurance on the
barn was all that Mr.. Kurth carried
and he. estimates the loss at about
1880.
A barn on the Newa1auser property
adjoining was also destroyed and a
number of chickens were burned and
the loss in this instance win also be
total.
The fire was apparently caused from
some hobo sleeping in the barn who,
before going to sleep, smoked cigar
cite, the remains of which were not
properly cared for.

Citizens Excited Over Discovery, and
Company May Be Organized.
Leeds, N. D., Aug. 13.-The citizens
were thrown into state OF excitement
at the discovery of oil In well on the
premises of Mrs. A. Peterson on Lar
son avenue, about 100 feet east of the
Northern Pacific station. For over a
year those using the water from this
well have noticed a distinct kerosene
taste to 1t. 1t has been used for do
mestic purposes for several years, the
water being pumped with an ordinary
iron pump.
This summer the water has tasted
stronger of kerosene than ever before,
and Mrs. Peterson conceived the idea
Of dipping some from the top of the
water In the well. In a pailful she
found about half Of it kerosene of a
clear color as clean and pureas that
on the market. She put some in a
lamp, and it gives as good light. as
the best oil. The explanation given
for its clearness Is that the kerosene
coming from a vein near the well per-
cclates through the sand and is thus
filtered and purified. Already there
is talk Of organizing stock company
to work the find.
