Next Thursday
Evening.
First Annual Board of
Trade Banquet.
Work of the Board and
Object of the rleeting.

Arrangements for the first annual
banquet OF the East Jordan Board of
Trade TO be given at Loyeday Opera
Hduse Thursday evening, Mar. 9Th,
are being pushed forward and promise
completion ia ample season for the ap-
pointed time.
Not less than five out-of-Jown
speakers have signifed their accept
ance of the invitations sent out by the
Board of Trade and visitors from Bel
laire, Charlevoix. Mancelona and
Boyne City will be present. In East
Jordan tickets have been placed on
sale at practically every business
house and our merchants are pushing
the sale vigorously.
In general way the people of East
Jordan and vicinity know something
of the successful work accomplished
by the Board Of Trade last year. The
new industries secured are a valua ble
and permanent acquisition. But be-
cause OF one good seasons catch the
lDOotN OOOo NV PiOPO"O w oNOp hFhiHS'
1t has other industries in sight and ls
worrying hard to c'ose an important
deabV Vefore the date Of the Banquet
1t ~ not probable that another in
dustry so great as that of the Iron
Furnace and Chemical Plant combn-
ed will be secured this season, possibly
never; but half dozen smaller euter-
prises will help the town and benetit
Every Man, young or old, married or
single, employer or employe, business
man, farmer or mechanic.
If You have derived any benefit
whatever from the results Of the past
years work on the part of the Board
OF Trade and desire TO show your ap-
probation, buy ticket for the ban
Quet and be present; you may hear
something of further interest.
The legitimate function Of the
Board OF Trade is To bring together
thssyfoducer and the consumer, the
pr0Hlcer and the manufacturer, to as
certain the needs of the community
ia the way OF manufacturing and
when such needs are determined to
negotiate with manufacturers and if
possible induce them to locate among
us; and this study of needs is not con-
fned to forest products; 1t applies
with equal force to agricultural condi-
tions.
Recently pickle sailing station de-
sired to locate at East Jordan. AS
they deal In agricultural products
only a convention Of farmers was call
ed. After going over the proposition
there did not seem to be sufficient in
terest to justify the Boaru of Trade
in Offering necessary Inducements to
the pickle company. At that meet
ing some OHe present suggested the
need of canning factory. The Board
of Trade desires to say to farmers that
if they feel the need Of canning fac
tory, or of any othrrY factory that will
help our local market, and they will
SO express themselves through their
various organizations, by committee,
orbtherwise, the Board of Trade will
undertake to get such enterprise To-
Gated at East Jordan.
Every farmer who looks to East Jor-
dan as his market is invited be pres
ent at the Board Of Trade of Banquet
next Thursday evening; at that time
matters of interest to all will be pre-
sented and the discussion will be open
70 all.

Dickinson Post: The rumored presence
of Northern Pacific right of-way agent
in the territory along the Knife river has
given rise to belief in local circles that
the N. P. not content with tapping the
territory in the southern counties hereto
fore monopolized by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St. Paul, is planning to forestall its
rivals proposed retalitory projection of
line through Dickinson to Mckenzie coun-
ty by establishing branch in the country
north of this city. This branch, it is
prophesied, will run from -Mandan up the
Missouri river to the junction of that
waterway with the Knife, and will follow
the latter passing through Manning and
terminating at Glendive.
1t is a matter of common knowledge
that this northern branch has been con-
templated by the N. p. for some time.
Last summer the road had several survey
ing parties in the field, and grade stakes
were put in along the route indicated.

CrueSolI|e
Find On Ranch
Human Skeleton Discovered
In Dogs Grave One Mile
West Of Minot.

Minot, N. d., July e. William Good,
the dog catcher, while preparing to bury a
dog made a gruesome find yesterday after
noon out on Ed Kelleys ranch about one
mile west of the city. Having dug about
two or three feet into the soft dirt his
spade suddenly struct something hard and
on stopping to make an investigation and
to dig further he unearthed the skeleton
of a man, and along with it deck of cards
a jack knife and a quantity of jewellery.
The skeleton was brought to the city and
on being set together was diagnosed by
phyicians as that of man who had poss-
IDLY been dead for eighteen or twenty
years. Owing to the fact that a deck of
cards was found with the skeleton along
with the jewellery leads many to believe
that possible the body may be that of some
hapless gambler who piled his trade in
Minot in early days; there are, however.
no marks of identification.

Ordered Off.

The Injunction on Phil St. jacques build
ing was ordered off this week by Judge
Winchester. Just after the primary elect
ton John Keohane, the states attorney,
went before the judge and had an injunc-
ton order issued closing this building
and the one occupied by Reynolds & Son.
The buildings we're searched, liquor found
and the places closed on July end, and the
property left in charge of the sheriff.
Phil St. Jacque employed the services of
Attorney Simpson, of Dickinson, who went
before the judge and on some technical
point had the injunction set aside, and con-
sequently the building has been turned
back to the owner. 1t is not yet known
what it will now be used for.
The stock and fixtures, however, have
not been released, but have been removed
to the Reynolds building where they are
still in charge of the sheriff.

Horse RuSt|erS
In he Dakotas
Have Relay Route-System
Is Said To Work Per-
fectly in Dakota.

The following report comes from Willis
ton The officers here believe there exists
in North and South Dakota an organized
gang of horse rustlers with regular re-
lay route similar to the one that existed
Throughout Minnesota years ago and ter
minated in an underground stable near
Fairbault. Within few months hundreds
of fine horses have DISAPPEARED and no
trace has been found.
The man who performed the original
theft is suspected, and in the early morn
ing visit has been paid his home where
he has been found quietly sleeping. The
fact that he has gone fifteen miles away
with the horse turned it over to another
man and hurried back. The second party
to the contract has taken the horse fifteen
miles farther and turned it over to thi rd
party, who some times conceals the horse
for several days and then sends him on to
the fourth.
Each rustler generally brings back to
his own stable horse that has been stolen
at the other end of the route. Its seems
impossible to secure one of the stolen
horses and the man who stole it at the
same time. The confederacy is industrious
and seems to find more than the usual
temorary profit.

Bowman, July 2e.-Herman Pause, 26
years old, of Whitewater, Wis, was the
victim of the most cold-blooded murders
ever committed in Bowman county. The
deed was perpetrated in the east end of the
Milwaukee railroad yards some time be-
tween o:3o Thursday evening and 4 80 Fri
day morning.
Pause was member of the Milwaukee
linemen crew of twenty-four men which
came into Bowman last Thursday evening
on the passenger and stopped for lunch,
the passenger pulled out and left the crew
behind They were ordered to take the
west bound freight to their station, and
they spent the meantime in looking over
Bowman.
The body was found on the track just
opposite the stock yards by the engineer
of an east bound stock train at Ago Friday
morning, the stock train was stopped be-
fore the engine reached the body and the
engineer notified Station Agent Corbett,
who at once called Cornor Oliver to the
scene. When the body was first found the
trunk waslaying outside and the head com
pletely severed inside the rails Mr.. Cor
bett moved the body and head about three
feet from the track so it would not be
struck by the passing trains and it was there
that Coroner Oliver first saw the remains.
The Coroner's jury assembled at once
and commenced their investigations. The
the case at first appeared to be nothing
| more serious than an accident or d suicide

BRUTAL MURDER AT BOWMAN; man
KILLED and BODY RUN OVER BY TRAIN
Herman Pause Young Lneman Employed by the Milwaukee
Road, Killed in Cold -Booded Manner. Body Placed
ON Railrod Track and Decapitated by Train.

until one of the men found blood dripping
from car standing on the industrial tract
about fifty feet north of where the body
was found. Inside of the car was a great
pool of blood and when it became appar-
ent that an awful murder had been COM
mitted the coroner called Sheriff Paige
who Immediately responded and took
charge of the investigations. He found a
handkerchief completely saturated with
blood with letter P embroidered in a
corner, and several pieces of newspaper
that had been used to wipe the blood from
the hands of the men that committed the
murder He found that considerable
blood had been split in the car, but there
were no signs of struggle, which is pretty
good evidence that the murdered man did
not have much show for his life. Blood
status we're found leading through the car
door and on the ground to where the body
was found and on the track there was big
pool of blood, which shows that Pause was
still alive when he was carried to the track.
The inquest brought out in DIR. G. A.
Bakers testimony that the man had been
struck over the head with some blunt in
strument several times and had been stabb-
! ed in the throat twice, one of which COM
pletely severed the left jugular vein, after
he had been laid over the track. The left
eye was badly blackened. whibh was prob.
ably the first blow struck. There were nc
other marks on the body, the only theor,
advanced by the officials is that Pause was
enticed down into the yards and into the

Farmers Elect
New Directors
Meeting of Stockholders OF
Farmers Elevator Co.
Held Last Tuesdav.

The stockholders of the Farmers Ele-
vator company had another meeting last
Tuesday and among other business trans
acted new set of directors were elected
for the ensuing year.
Under their articles of incorporation
there we're nine directors but at this meet
ing the number was cut down to FIVE, as
it was thought that five could look after
the business more satisfactory than nine.
From the report rendered the last years
business was anything but profitable, but
with the large amount Of grain to be mark
eted this year the company has a splendid
chance to put the business on paying
basis. The new directors elected
we're: ]. d. Halstad, Geo. Baht, f. D..
Logan, Fred A. Powers and f. F.. Noble.
Officers will be elected from these direct
ors and buyer and manager is to be hired.
F.. F.. Noble recently purchased stock in
the corporation and it is understood that
he will be made secretary and treasurer,
while MIR. Halstad will no doubt be reject
ed president.
There are about IS stockholders in the
company, and of this number. about 8:
we're present.

Car on some pretext or other for the pur-
head with the butt of gun. and after
searching him and taking what he had the
men realized the enormity Of their crime
and the penalty they would have to pay if
they were ever caught and identified; they
determined to pu, Pause out of the way so
that he could never do them any harm
Then they proceeded to destroy the papers
and letters i'll the pockets of the doomed
man and carry him across to the passing
track, where they severed the jugular vein
and cut his throat. From all appearances
they held the head of the unconscious man
over the rail until he was either dead or
too weak to move and then left him to be
run over by the next passing train to make
it appear that the man had lain down on
track to sleep and had been killed
The prints of blood stained hands found
on the ties on the north side of the car in
which the first blows we're struckshow that
two men laid down there and watched the
train run over the body.
The severed head was found close to the
body and railroad men say it must have
been done by being struck by train back
ing up or that the body was placed be-
tween the cars of the train switching in the
yards, as when mans head is cut off by
an engine it is usually caught by the COW
catcher and rolled considerable distance
from the trunk. 1t is very likely that the
train that finished the deed was the train
that carried his ,.lep,ls wts,
