mother declares that the girl ls but
a little past seventeen, or at least
was when Peter took her to love,

was tied good and tight in Minot, by
Judge VIM. Murray. NV.
Peters case came up before Judge
Davis in county court Tuesday and
after hearing the evidence, the Judge
decided to bind the defendant over to
district court.
The trial seems to have been the re-
suit Of too much nother-in-law and
Peter would have had much smoother
sailing had no made terms with the
girls mother before the marriage took

w. A. Fifield, a Glenburn farmer,
has patented a windmill that gives
promise of becoming very popular.
The model is completed. and was
shown to the Independent man this
morning. Mr.. Fifleld will leave this
week for the east where he will
make arrangements for its manufac-
ture. Mr.. Fffleld expects to take
the model to the Seattle exposition.
The mill is so built that no matter
how hard the wind blows the wheels
will run at the same speed. The
vanes are held in place with spring
which is frightened with a wire cable,
from below. As thevelocity Of the
wind increases, the wheel turns &C.
cordingly, and the vanes widen by
means of the spring. In case. OF q
squat, the vanes will close up and
the wheel turn in the direction Of the
wind, so that no damage can be done.
