CAUGHT SUSPECTS
Two Negroes Suspected q
Shooting 500 Brakeman at
Rogers Held Here.

]. w. Fly, brakeman on q west
bound 500 freight out Of Valley City,
was held up and seriously wounded
by two negroes near Rogers, Barnes
county, about $3.50 Sunday morning.
The brakeman was shot twice, one q
flesh wound, the other bullet lodging
in the back and Fly is in a danger
GUS condition lying In the hospital at
Enderlin where he was taken.
Sunday noon Sheriff Wasser was
notified that two negroes resembling
those who committed the crime were
seen between SpiritWood and Bloom
by an N. P. train crew and together
with Deputy Weber and Chief of
Police Obermueller went out to look
for the negroes. The two men we're
found sitting behind the elevator at
Bloom and they Immediately SUR
rendered when covered by Officer
Obermueller. The negroes were hard
looking customers, and we're brought
to jamestown and placed in the
county jail where they are being held
for identification by the operator at
Rogers who was expected to arrive
Mon. Cartridges were found in their
possession but no revolver.
The freight was west bound from
Valley City early Sunday morning
and stopped at the tank at Rogers.
The brakeman salighted from the
train and was walking forward when
a negro jumped out from between the
two cars, showed a pistol in the
brakeman's face and ordered him to
deliver. Fly, however, reached
back for his own gun and the negro
opened fire, shooting twice, wounding
Fly with each shot. At this, another
negro came from an empty and the
two took to their heels, and escaped
in the darkness. 5.,s
The injured man was taken to Leal
on the freight train where Or. Wan
nergof Wimbledon was called and one
bullet located. Fly*Wa then hurried
on the 500 passenger back to Ender-
lin for.further medical assistance.
- = A search for the negroes was start
ed at once and the two found at
Bloom are being held on suspicion.
It is also reported that three darkies
held up several harvest hands at
Valley City Saturday night before
the freight train pulled out Of that
town and it may be the same negroes
are implicated in both offenses.

AWARDED PRIZES
To Children of the City Schools
For Competitive Garden
Making.

There was large gathering of Ia
dies and children and men Tuesday
afternoon in the city park on the oc-
casion of the awarding of the prizes
to the school children for care of the
flower beds on the Mp. right of way.
Mrs. Andrew Blewett spoke for the
Civic improvement League. She said
that every member desired, thru her,
to express appreciation of the efforts
of those who introduced the enter
prise of the garden; to Mr.. Crane
who had designed the anne, and to
the children who had cared for it;
that the garden had become a source
OF pride to all. 1t had beautified
piece of ground that a year ago was
an eyesore to every passerby, that
travellers had spoken~of the little plot
of ground, the fragrance of the how-
ers had been borne upon the breezes
and those persons who thought at
first that the garden was but a whim
have grown loud in words of praise
and encouragement. The children
themselves have passed hours OF
healthful toll and have no doubt been
greatly benefited by this work, and
in another year it is hoped they will
be able to even improve on the good
work of this year, and that people of
the city will generally follow the ex-
ample, and not permit a vacant lot
in jamestown to grow harvest
weeds.
City Attorney Wilder made a short
address referring to the interest
that the people of the city had taken
in the matter and congratulated the
children on the success of the work.
Sc. Ellsworth made few remarks
representing the board Of education.
He spoke OF the interest taken by all
those who had borne leading part
in the work of making bright spot
in the center of the city that has at
tracted attention of all visitors to
jamestown. He referred to the in
terest shown in the gathering itself
which was sufficient reason for the
assembling Of the pupils and citizens.
Also to the awakened interests of
the people of the town in the matter
OF civic improvement as shown in
the better appearance of the streets
and more cleanly and sanitary condi-
tion of the city in general. Another
year, said the speaker, even better
results will be looked for in the gar
den and in the city at large.
Supt. Crane then awarded the
prizes on behalf of the judges. He
stated the difficulty in determining
which was the best from the number
of flower beds. all of which were SO
similar in the matter of excellence.
Mr.. Crane also stated that credit
should be given Supt. Burt and the
N. P. railroad company for the in
terest manifested and the aid rem
dered. The railroad company had
provided the ground and fenced it,
put in the stile and gate and water
pipe, and Mr.. Burt had done more
than he agreed to do to make the
garden success.
Six first prizes were awarded for
the. best gardens, IA first prizes for
perfect attendance, Is second prizes
for attendance, Is prizes for best var
iety of flowers, and every gardener
who kept up his plot during the sum-
mer was awarded a prize.

PURE MILK
Campaign For Purity in Lactic
Fluid General in the
United States.

The following article has been
handed in for publication and is upon
timely matter of common Interest.
The writer says:
You will note by the below, taken
from Chicago paper, that they are
going after the ::milk business along
right lines andzit appears to us that
what is good thing for the health
Of the people ina city like Chicago
would be a good thing in Jamestown
and we hope that our city council
Will follow the matter up so that in
a very short time all milk sold in
this city will be from tested herds as
we'll as pasteurized SO as to destroy
any harmful bacteria.
A new ordinance will soon 60 into
effect in the city of Chicago govern
ing the sale of milk. On and after
Jan. l, 1909, all milk, cream, butter
or any product made from milk,
cream or butter must be from tuber-
culine tested cows only. That is,
none, of the products from the COW
must be sold or offered for sale unless
the cow or \cows from which it is
produced have been tested by some
official, appointed to do this work, for
tuberculosis, but for five years after
Jan. l, 1909, milk and its products
can be sold if pasteurized according
to such rules and regulations as are
made by the board Of health.
This would look as if compulsory
pasteurization "a process devised by
Pasteur for preventing or check ing
fermentation of such fluids as milk, etc
byexposure to a temperature.of l4O de-
grees F., thus destroying the vitality
of the germs or ferments) of all milk
used in this city was at hand and 1T
can be taken as forerunner of what
other cities can expect in the near
future. There has never been any
thing like the present agitation for
pure milk known before and the
dairyman, when he undertakes to
tllwart any kind of a move for a bet
ter and more healthful quality of
milk, is standing in his own light.
II the consumers of these products
want it put up in any particular.way
or of particular degree of richness,
and are willing to pay for it, there is
always someone willing to produce it,
and they are paving a big price In all
the cities for q guaranteed article to-
day. The dairymen should be willing
to do all they can to safeguard the
public health. They should be will
ling to meet the public demand in
this like they would for a fine horse
or any other commodity they sell
from their farms. II our milk and
its products were known today to be
pure and healthful its consumption
could be increased many fold; but
with the uncertainty existing and
the continued cry Of the great dan
ger to health in Its consumption, It
Is to be wondered at that there is
as much milk consumed as there is.
The dairymep must make up their
minds that the time Is here when
they must sell pure product that
will not be = menace to human
health, and the sooner they al pro-
sduce that kind Of On article the bet
ter itwill be for the dairy industry.
