FIRST SETTLER
OF RED RIVER
OLE G. THoRTWIck, RESIDING ON
THE ORIGINAL HOMESTEAD OF
THE BUFFALO RIVER, ANSWER
ED DEATH SUMMONS LAST Ev-
ENING-cAME HERE IN 1870.

At a ripe old age, Ole G. Thortwick
a highly respected farmer living on the
original homestead on the Buffalo
river, east of Moorhead, succumbed
to sudden attack of bowel and heart
trouble at his home last night. Last
Saturday and Sunday he was about as
usual so that his illness was very
brief.
Mr.. Thortwick was probably one OF
the first settlers in Clay county-he
took I'D the land which was his home
stead and on which he died in 1870, the
first to take up land or the Red river
and he selected a site which is now
six or eight miles east of what Is
now the city of Moorhead, land which
was unsurveyed. He came west from
Houston county, Minnesota, having
heard Of the fertility Of the great Red
river valley which he made the best
of and has been successful in his
farming pursuits. His wife died about
twelve years ago and he Is survived
by one son, Levi Thortwick, and three
daughters. He made his first jour
ney west with a team and wagon and
the only settlers at this crossing of
the Red river were those closely con-
tiguous to the stream, people awaiting
the completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad. He was a man highly re-
spected and one who did his share in
the development Of the great section
OF country he lived TO see become
world famous. Funeral arrangements
are in progress.

mot GUILTY.
EVIDENCE AGAINST WHEATLAND
MAN WAS PURELY cIRcuM-
sTANTIAL AND THE TWELVE
JURORS EVIDENTLY THOUGHT
THAT THERE WAS REASON
ABLE DOUBT.

mot guilty" was the verdict OF the
jury in the case of the state VS.. Will
liam McCloskey, rendered at 8 o'clock
this afternoon in district court.
McCloskey was charged with steal
ing $11O from the vault of the Hunter
Mercantile Co. at heatland on Jan.
%. The evidence against him was
purely circumstantial and the jury
evidently thought that the evidence
did not constitute the substantiation
of the charge beyond a reasonable
doubt. .-.---... .....> .
On Jan. % last McCloskey who had
previously worked for the Hunter
Mercantile Co. was in the store at
noon. While he was there Ben Stew
art who was alone in charge OF the
S ore had to step out for a few min
utes leaving McCloskey and one other
customer in the store alone. ~ .
That night the bookkeeper counted
her cash and. she was $110 short and
she at once noticed that a 800 bill
was part of the money that was miss
inig. She had taken particular notice
of this bill as it was worn frayed
bill and was the first 800 bill she had
ever seen. ,.
It was proved that McCloskey had
come to Fargo the next day and was
here for several days and seemed
to be plentifully supplied with money.
E. c.. Gearey was put on the stand
and he testified, that a young man an
swering to McCloskey's description
had changed worn and frayed 800
bill the next day after the theft. At

Too Much Reform.

Fargo, ". d., Nov. 16.--To The For--
um: Permit me to call your attention
to subject which has been somewhat
overlooked by the press OF the country.
The wave OF financial and political
reform has been followed by one Of
paternalism, which in my estimst stion
is liable to do as much harm as the
former has done good, and. which. IL
carried to the extreme, would reduce
our people to the nonthinking peasan-
try OF certain parts of Europe, The
one thing witch has developed the
American character and given to him
that something within which we call
liberty. Is the power OF thinking and
acting for himself correctly. And all
signs along the road telling him how
to go, with innumerable others ito
keep or the grass but weakens the
strong trait of self-reliance which we
call Americanisrn Youth should be
protected. but 1t is not well TO handle
the adult with too many restrictions,
The hothouse plant is the first ntpped
by the frost
Reform, go far as It deals in giving
square deal between man and man,
Ii beneficient and iaudable. but reform
misappiied Is liable TO become tyranny.
The knife In tho hand OF q skilled OPP
orator is surgery, but in the unskilled
hand becomes butchery, and too much
cutting even by the skilled hand IL, to
say the least. dangerous. .

TRIAL AND WAS DISPOSED or
TO-DAY WHEN DEFENDANT
ADMITS HER oUiLT.

Mrs. Josie weias charged with
adultery, was arrigned to plead before
Judge Pollock this afternoon and she
entered plea OF guilty.
Her attorney ". r. Lowell made a
short plea for the ciemency OF the
court on behalf OF his client on the
ground that she had already served
about six months In jail while waiting
for trial and, for the crime OF unlawful
cohabitation for which she is . now
serving sentence. G.,
Mrs. Weise was ssarraignSd before
Judge Pollock on fthii same charge
once before and at that time her at
torney moved to dismiss because the
complaining witness in the case was
Mrs! Tavern Pratt, wife of fsthe man in
the case, and Mr.. Lowell held that
under the state statutes only the
spouse OF the party before the bar
could bring q charge or complaint.
Judge Pollock upheld this contention
and discharged the woman but an ap-
peal was taken b.. Assistant States
Attorney Richardson and the supreme
court reversed the decision, sending
the case back to be tried on it's merits
and today's plea OF guilty was the
result, rf fs5aA 4gg' ~
IN the meantime and in order. to hold
the woman the states attorney had
her arrested on the charge Of unlawful
cohabitation and she was sentenced to
serve ninety days on that charge and
Is now serving out that sentence.

HOME TREATMENT.
For Consumption and Throat Troubles
Proves Very Effective,


The camps for tuberculosis patients
In the pine forests OF Maine, have dem-
onstrated a wonderfully successful
phase in the treatment Of pulmonary
diseases
The remarkable stimulating effect on
the respiratory organs by the resinous
atmosphere OF the pine forest has led
to medical experts producing an ex-
tract from pine which contains the ac-
tive principle so that by It's use and
the practice OF deep breathing and lung
exercise any person can have the ad-
yantages OF the pine forest camps right
at their own homes. The formula as
originally prescribed Is the following:
"One-half ounce Concentrated pine
compound, two ounces of glycerine.
half pint OF good whisky. It should
be shaken thoroughly and taken in
doses of a teaspoonfuT to tablespoon
ful every four hours"
These ingredients can be had from
any good druggist and easily mixed,
The Concentrated pine is a, special
pine product refined for medical use
and comes only in half ounce bottles,
each enclosed in round wood case,
which is air-tight, but be sure 1t Ii
labeled concentrated" s.,%s~s Sat

fine arms takes 1t for granted that you

thing built that way.
A bachelor misses nearly all the fun
of staying out late at night by not
having TO sneak upstairs with his
shoes off.
The reason a man is proud Of him
self for running for Office is he would
be ashamed OF any of his friends for
doing 1t.
