note that yonug woman who mar
ried an old acquaintance Of ours, to
reform him, failed utterly in her
purpose. The use Of intoxicating
liquors Is the cause of majority Of
the divorces. The nature of our laws
makes it all together too easy to se-
cure divorces. Were divorces harder
to secure couples about to wed might
take little more time to consider
the important proposition.

Criminal Operation

Mr.. Dale. we understand, is OF
wealthy parentage, himself and par
ents being connected in no less than
eighteen banks in North Dakota.
The authorities are .busiF engaged
in working on the case, and hope to
find the person who is guilty OF the
criminal operation, and hope also to
ascertain who is responsible for the
condition OF the young woman.
1t is understood that Miss Lien left
Grand Forks, not with the avoWed
intention Of having a criminal oper-
alton performed, but for the purpose
Of marrying the man who betrayed
her, whoever that man Is.

Supreme Court s.
Decision Expected

States Attorney MCGEE expects 70
hear of the Supreme Court decision
regarding placing the proposition to
form Renvills and Burke counties, on
the ballots for the next general cleo
ton. Mr.. MCGEE holds that such
are utterly impossible
on account OF the conflicting lines.
The Supreme Court viii no doubt
agree with Mr.. MCGEE. This 81
course will have a tendency to make
the people Of those proposed counties
work against county division. Tho
Independent feels certain that Ward
county will not be divided at this
time, % the proposed lines will not
suit the majority Of the voters. We
believe that eventually Ward county
win Be divided hut the lines must "
right.

there was q big revolver which he
