MANDAN GIRL MADE ESCAPE.
Ran Away From the crittenden
Home.

Home.
About a month ago a young girl
about sixteen years OF age, Mary AM
undson by name. was sent from Man
dan to the Crittenden home in Bis
marck, supposedly in a delicate con-
dition. 1t now transpires, according
to the doctors, she is not in any such
shape.
One morning last week she ran
away from the home and went to the
house of Sheriff McGillis. The matron
of the home was communicated with.
She came to the sheriff's home and
tried to induce the girl to return with
her. This she would not do but per-
sisted in staying where she was.
She was taken to Mandan and turn
ed over TO the authorities at that
place.
1t is thought that the girl is not
bright. She had been living with an
aunt about thirty-five miles south of
Mandan. Her father lives with her
step-mother in Connecticut. and about
year ago the girl came to North Da-
kota to live.

MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED.
Authorities investigating Death Of .
Former Minot Girl.


Miss May Harris, who formerly
lived in Minot and who died at Cnl.
bertson. Mont, March II, may nave
been murdered according to the opin.
ion of the Montana authorities. who
have ordered her body exhumed and
post-mortem held. One of the i'm.
portant witnesses is Miss Lillian
Webster who was present at the time
of her death and who is now in Minot.
Miss Webster was examined by the
authorities, and her testimony is prac.
tically as follows:
She was with Miss Harris at Cul.
bertson for about three weeks before
the death. A man by the name of Joe
Manning was a constant companion
of the deceased. and the day previous
to her death had gotten into seri-
GUS alteration with her, bruising her
body and nearly choking her. Among
other blows was one struck back of
her head, which the doctors now
claim caused a clot of blood to form
which eventually led to her death.
Miss Webster testified that Miss Har.
ris was unable to get up, and that
while she was addicted to the use of
morphine it was not from an over
dose that she died. Manning is at
present serving two years. sentence
in the pennentiary at Deer Lodge for
an assault committed two years ago.
The testimony will be taken to the
Montana authorities, who will con-
tinue the case

wiLLisToN HAS EXTRA MAYOR.
Two Men Claim to Be Elected to the
Office.

A rather peculiar condition exists
in Will:ston at present, inasmuch as
there are two men who claim to be
entitled to the Office of mayor. These
two Men are Charles Baldwin and
Mayor Wegley. both of whom claim to
be duly elected to serve in the capac
ity of mayor during the coming year.
The matter will come to head at
the time of taking Office this week, as
it is believed that at that time the
first step will be taken to place Mr..
Baldwin in as mayor, and his claims
will be vigorously opposed by the
present chief executive.
At the municipal election So votes
were cast for the position of mayor
in the various wards of the city: That
such voting was in progress was un-
known except to the few who cast
such ballots. When the polls closed
and the counting of the votes COM
menced, attorneys appeared before
the various boards asking that the
votes be counted or refused in order
that some record might be made of it.
Following a short discussion the
votes were counted and Mr.. Baldwin
was given thirty-three votes for the
position of mayor. The city canvass
ing board at it's session threw the
votes out, refusing to count them.
The present city executive was
elected to the position a year since
for period of two years. He claims
that there was no call for the election
of a mayor at this time. The sup
rorters OF Mr.. Baldwin make the
claim that the city should elect the
mayor this year according to the law,
and will make fight along this line.
Attorneys A. ]. Dryer and Beese &
Greer, represent Charles Baldwin,
while it is understood that Mayor
Weg,ey has also secured counsel.

SCHOOL LANDS BROUGHT $4,000.
Over Six Thousand Acres Were Sold
at Bismarck.

The sale of public school lands held
at Bismarck last week by Deputy
Land Commissioner w. E. Coats and
w. A. Brown. attracted quite a crowd
OF prospective buyers.
Though the bidding was not brisk,
it was considered that a good price
was obtained as the result of this
sale. SiNty-four hundred and forty
acres of land were sold. the purchase
price being about $4,000. The first
payments amounted to $16.GS8. The
average price per acre which the land
brought was $13, which was consid-
cred quite good.
The highest price received was
$3.50 per acre for section 16 in Me-
noken township. which land had been
appraised at Sill. After the sale a
leasing of the state and institution
lands was held and fair business
was done. in the neighborhood of $500
in rentals being receiced.

WOMAN FINDS LOST PARENT.

Daughter Are Reunited.
Twenty.six years of fruitless labor
in an effort to locate her father whom
she had never seen. to be rewarded by
definite information as to his where
abouts and good health, is the pleas.
ant experience of Mrs. Agnes Muhs of
Minot.
Mrs. Muhs' experiences seem more
like chapter from a novel of today
than all extract from life's history.
At the age of two years Mrs. Muhs,
then Agnes Wickert. was adopted by
a family living in Northern Wiscon-
sin, with whom she lived until she
was eight years old, when her foster
parent died. The little girl was then
taken back to her real mother who
had separated from her husband and
remarked. Her life was. anything but
a happy one and she finally left, in
tent upon finding her father. When
old enough she learned the BARRIERS
trade as better means of coming in
contact with those who could give her
information regarding her parent.
Letters were written to all of the
cities that she remembered but with
no result. Several visits were made
to Wisconsin but no knowledge could
be gained and it was not until a few
weeks ago that she found a clue.
which, when followed up, rejoined a
separated family. A letter to the po-
lice department of Manitowoc found
a cousin of Mr.. Wickert and through
him the missing man was located at
North Crandin, Wis, where he is liv.
ing with his mother. The letters writ.
ten since then between grandmother
end child, the father being seriously
i'll and not yet having been told of
his daughters being found, form an
interesting story complete in every
detail. The frantic search by the
grandmother and father and their
failure, combined with the tedious
work OF twenty-six long years on the
part CT Mrs. Muhs, make a human i'll
terest story that is hard to compete
with. Mrs. Muhs has gone to Wiscol-
sin where she will visit several weeks
with her father.

PLAN MONUMENT TO ROOSEVELT
President to Sit for Norwegian
While in Europe.


The proposition to erect a monu-
ment to President Roosevelt on the
campus of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college in Fargo is progress
ing favorab!y, according to DR.. Fjelde,
who was in Fargo last week in con-
su,tation with several local people.
The movement was inaugurated by
the doctor some months ago, and a
Roosevelt monument association -
with Senator Hansbrough, president,
was organized.
The doctor has received number
of sketches of the proposed nonu.
ment, and one which stands out in
especially bold relief, showing a lot
of force and individuality, has been
selected
It is to be an equestrian statue and
will be done by famous Norwegian
sculptor, for whom it is now planned
the president will sit on his European
tour at the expiration of his present
term.
The animal ON which the president
is to be shown as mounted will also
tyrify Western life, as it is proposed
to model the equine after Western
broncho-on which Mr.. Roosevelt
formerly rode so frequently when liv
ing on ranch in the western part of
this state.

for raising a $4,000 fund. exclusively
among North Dakotans. 1t is expect
ed that it will require about three
years to complete the monument and

TO CALL JURY IN MAY.
Judge cowan Will Clean Up Some
Cases in Ramsey County.

Eases IN RAMSEY ~ounty.
Judge Cowan has announced that he
would call jury the last week in
May for the purpose of closing up all
jury cases docketed for the January
term of court in Ramsey county. This
decision was arrived at after con-
sultation witty the members of the
bar, who agreed that on account of the
spring farm work that it would not
be advisable to call a jury at this
time.
There are not more than dozen
cases which will come up for trial at
the time the jury is called. The Re-
gan assault case may be heard at that
time, but it is very doubtful. There
are a few civil cases yet to be dis
posed Of in which it will be neces
sary to have jury, and there are
several cases to be tried in which aft
davits of prejudice have been filed
against Judge Cowan.

Growing Strawberries in this state
Is considered impracticable by great

tnan crop of wheat. Strawberry
plants are exceedingly productive in
this state. and many a bowl heaped
with luscious home grown fruit has
graced the table of the writer for
many years past. Last year a patch
OF twelve rows 200 feet long produced
400 quarts Of sale berries, besides
those canned or eaten with shortcake
or with cream. Mr.. Runzendahl of
Forman. Sargent county. produced
wonderful crop of strawberries the
past season, and his neighbor, Mrs.
Johnson, sold over $50 worth of ber-
ries from sixteenth.acre patch dur
ing the summer of 1906. The abund-
ant crops in the gardens of the North
Dakota Agricultural college at Fargo
the past few years prove beyond
doubt that strawberries are a sure
and remunerative crop in North Da-
kota.
The variety best adapted for our
conditions is the Senator Dunlap. 1t

anywhere, and scarcely if ever winter

Any good rich loan that is natural

strawberries. A liberal coating of
we'll rotted manure applied to the
land before blowing will conserve the
moisture and aid very materially in
the production of good crop of ber-
ries. The land should be thoroughly
narrowed Or ralled to make a good
firm plant bed. Set the plants in
rows four feet apart, allowing the
space of two feet between plants.
In planting spread the roots in the
ground as much as possible, taking

Tramp the dirt down firmly around
each plant. This is the most impor-
tant point in planting. as plants often
fail to grow when the earth is loose
around the roots.
Frequent cultivation throughout the
summer is necessary to insure con-
servatism of the soil moisture, and
TO get good vigorous plants for fruit
ing the next season. AS soon as the
plants begin sending out runners
rake them in between the parent
plants. Keep the rows narrow. not
exceeding foot and half in width,
and allow only four or five young
plants to come from one parent. The
others should be destroyed. If the
plants are too thick in the row the
yong plants will not ripen we'll. and
in dry seasons take too much mois-
ture out of the soil.
