Other Good Measures.

We have also passed a model Child

the passing of model law in the Dis

be certain to have a powerful infiu-

Pension law is another splendid meas

soldier who is dependent and whose

Hosse Near Hibtias Suspect :,
Under Arrest.

Duluth, Mimi, Jan. 2S.-Another dy.
Mantle outrage was discovered and
made. public yesterday, and Nick
Brickirch was arrested at Hibbing, &C.
cused of having attempted to blow up
a boarding house conducted by Matt
Kronic, near Hibbing. Kronic stated
that the attempt was made Thursday
night. Friday morning he says he
found the banking about the house
torn up and space under the house
large enough for a man to get
through. Upon investigation he found
fuse partly burned leading to a bag
In which were four sticks of dynamite,
and beside it were unburned matches.
kronic suspects Brickirch of the deed
for two reasons. For some time prior
to last October Brickirch had been
employed under Kronic, but had been
discharged. Since then Kronic says
he has been having trouble with him.
A few days prior to the outrage
Brickirch had suit of underwear,
identical with that wrapped about the
| dynamite. washed at the Kronic house,
according to the latter. A hearing in
the case will be held at Hibbing to-
day.

Gov. Burke has become interested,

ADAMS Is DISMISSED.
Prosecution Moves Dismissal for Some
Unknown Reason,


Unknown Reason.
The case of the state against o. o.
Adams, which has been on trial in
the district court at Minot, came to
an abrupt and wholly unexpected ter.
mination, when after the evidence
of the state had been concluded, the
state resting, the defense without in
PRODUCING word of evidence also
resting, the states attorney from
Ward county, after consideration,
moved a dismissal of the action. The
grounds fer dismissing the case were
not stated, but it is presumed to be
due to the fact that vital piece of
evidence had been thoughtlessly left
out-that while the matter had been
talked about, shown in court, and tes-
timony concerning it taken, the ex-
hibit itself had not been formally in
troduced in evidence. It is said that
the evidence against Adams was quite
strong, showing that there was rea-
sonable grounds to believe he was
guilty of obtaining money under false
pretenses as charged. The dismissal
Of the case was followed by his dis.
charge from custody. Attorneys for
the defendant claim that their client
cannot again be arrested on this
charge.

The two men became somewhat
intoxicated at Dogden, when Ernest

WINS LAND SUIT.
Homesteader's Entry Application IL
Upheld at Washington.

Homesteader's Entry Application IL
Upheld at Washington.
Melvin A. Gunderson has won his
suit for $4,000 quarter section of
land located near Aneta, and, after
prolonged contest with the Northern
Pacific railway, the decision is handed
down by the interior department at
Washington.
Judge Amidon last spring Cancelled
the patent issued to the heirs of Lars
M. Holland and the Northern Pacific
railway Immediately afterward ap.
piled to the Devils Lake land Office
to scrip the tract. This application
was made before the commissioner
of the land Office had formally opened
the land to entry. On the day the
quarter was opened to entry and no.
tice to the effect was sent to Devils
Lake, Gunderson filed his application
and contest was on between him
and the railway company. The Dew
lis Lake land Office rejected the North
ern Pacific's entry and suspended that
of Gunderson. Both appealed to the
department at Washington.
The commissioner of the general
land Office decided in favor of Gunder-
son, holding that upon the cancella-
ton of patent by the United States
courts the land does not become SUBJ
ject to entry as homestead land until
the department of the interior has
acted on the decision and reopened
the land to entry.

ARoNsoN WINS QUEER CONTEST.
Adams Man Is Awarded Homestead on
Which He Had Lived for Years.

Alfred Aronson has been awarded a
claim near Adams after one of the
most peculiar contests on record Ar
onson bought the land from the heirs
of Carl Anderson, deceased, and made
number of improvements on it and
its value at the present time is $4,000.
Last summer Aronson discovered that
as the young woman who made final
proof on he claim had never become a
naturalized citizen the general land Of.
flee at Washington was about to can
eel the final proof and leave the land
open to be filed on by any one who
chose to take it.
There were two ways left for Aron-
son to get the land. One was to con-
test it and the other was to have a
bill passed by congress giving him
title. He decided contest would be
the surest and quickest method.
Aronson's attorney, J. B. Wineman,
has received notice from Washington
that the government had decided in
favor of Aronson and he will be
obliged to live five years on the land
before he can make final proof, unless
he should care to commute.

From Washburn to Painted Woods on
Missouri.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of
farmers and residents of Washburn
was held to consider the proposition
of forming water users association
for the purpose of obtaining funds
from the reclamation service for, the
irrigation of about 10000 acres Of
land along the Missouri river from
Washburn to Painted Woods.
w. H. Storrs, electrical engineer in
Trenton projects, and State Engineer
#. R. Atkinson addressed the meeting
as the principal speakers, and an
swered the many questions asked.
They showed the people the .,eneflts
to be derived from irrigation and the
best methods to pursue in order to
obtain funds from the reclamation
service to hasten the construction of
en- irrigation plant.
State Engineer Atkinson has been
making preliminary surveys and plans
for the work during the past month,
anG is pleased to note that the irriga-
ton of tie tract is practically as
sIrcd.
The development of the project will
mean a great deal not only to the
farmers who will receive the water
on their land. but also to the two
counties and the state II moanc that
abundant crops of all kinds will be
raised each year. and that alfalfa will
be grown to fat.en our cattle at home.
\ committee was appointed to Or
ganize water users association for
the purpose of promoting the enter
Prise. and the people of this section
believe that ultimately we will have a
more extensive enterprise than that
at Buford or Williston.

FIGHTING FOR HER CHILDREN.

chiIdren's Home Society contesting Ef.
fort of,Woman to Recover Offspring.
Judge L. H. Hassell, at Grand Forks,
overruled the. demurrer OF the North
Dakota Children's Home society in the
case brought by Mrs. Eliza Carlson of
Nelson county, for the recovery of her
children. Attorney E. H. Wright of
Fargo, interposed the demurrer on the
ground that the probate court had no
jurisdiction in the case. Following
the overruling of the demurrer At
torney Wright filed an answer in be-.
half of the Home society. In this an.
swer the whereabouts of the three
children, SO far kept secret from the
mother, was disclosed. Mabel, the old.
est, aged Is years, is at the home of
E. H. Hura, at Hurdsfeld, Wells coun.
ty, where she has beautiful home,
with all modern conveniences and COM
forts, and where, according to Attorney
Wright, she is contented and happy to
remain. Albert is at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Ode, Monoken, Bur-
leigh county. Francis, the other boy,
has been legally adopted by William
M. Davis of Perth, Towner county.
Mabel and Albert have not been legal
~ adopted. They are out under a
contract with the Children's Home so,
ciety.
F. D. Hall, superintendent of the
Children's Home society, and Miss A.
B. Thompson, travelling district in.
spector, were present during the court
proceedings.
The evidence which had been taken
at hearing at Lakota a few weeks
ago. was submitted on behalf of the
plaintiff, Mrs. Carlson, and after the
answer had been filed by the Home
society, Attorney Wright asked for
time in which to get witnesses for a
further hearing. Judge Hassell set
March 18, as the date for the hearing
and an adjournment was taken to that
date.
According to Attorney Wright the
case will be carried to the district
court and supreme court in case the
decision is unfavorable to the Home
society. He believes there is a great
principle involved, and if it should be
decided that parents can regain con.
troll of children after they have been
adjudged unfit to care for them it will
greatly hamper the work of the socie.
ty. 1t is his contention that it would
mean disappointment to the children
and the people who have adopted
them, to allow them to be returned to
the home of the mother in Nelson
county, where the comforts are far in.
ferior to those in the homes the chill.
dren now occupy. Carlson, stepfathef
Of the children, is poor He owns a

Portable, and which will be badly
crowded if the children are allowed to
return home, the Home, society assert
ed. 1t is located two miles from a
country school, and the educational ad.
vantages are vastly inferior to those
now enjoyed by the children.
Miss Mabel will attend a normal
school next year, if left to the Hurds,
it is stated. She has been given fine
education and has enjoyed all the ad.
vantages possible for a young lady of
that section of the state. Music has
been included i'll her accomplishments.
The Home society insists that it would
be a cruel and inhuman proceeding to
return her to her home at this time.
