NORTH DAKOTA TO
HAVE DELEGATION
GOVERNOR BURKE WILL ATTEND SES
SION OF IRRIGATION CONGRESS
IN SPOKANE IN AUGUST.

Spokane, WASH, March o.
Governor John Burke of North
Dakota, writing from Bismarck
to R. Insinger, chairman of the
local board of control, says he
will attend the sessions of the
18th National Irrigation congress
in Spokane August 9 to IA and
participate in the program at
Governors day, when he will
meet the executives of practice lily
every state in the west and many
from points east of the Missis-
sippi river.
1T is also expected that North
Dakota will be represented by a
large delegation,' said Mr.. Insin-
ger in making the announcement
of Governor Burke's acceptance
of his invitation, "as the people
of that state are vitality interested
in problems to be discussed at the
sessions. They are also interested
in irrigation, for, if I am rightly
informed, more than 10000 acres:
of their land is already under the
ditch of the lower Yellowstone
project.
However, irrigation will not
be the only subject for considera-
ton. There are various other
matters, including forestry, good
roads, home building, the conser-
vation of natural resources, deep
waterways, drainage and land re-
clamation in general"

CHASE ASSAULTED
THURSDAY NIGHT
M.B. CHASE ASSAULTED AND ROBBED
THURSDAY MCaT-JACK BElNER
CHARGED WITH CRIME.

NJ. B. Chase of this city was
brutslly assaulted between twelve
and one o'clock last Thursday
night and robbed of two hundred
and fifty dollars. Mr.. Chase
claimed that Jack Benner was one
of the men and he was placed un-
der arrest before morning. Chase
was on his way home when as
saulted and was near the Tooley
elevator. As he was walking
along he heard q slight noise be-
hind him and turned to sec what
it was. When he turned he was
face to face with q man whom he
states was Jack Benner, and who
struck him with a sling shot. He
was struck several times over the
head and believes that there were
two men but after the first few
blows he was too dazed to tell
very much about what was going
on. Chase was knocked senseless
and when he came to he was over
beside a small building where he
thinks he was carried before being
robbed. His pockets were ripped
open and all his money taken.
Jack Benner had q hearing
Tuesday before Justice Blanken-
ship and was bound over to the
district court on the charge of
robbery. Bonds were fixed at
$1,000 and Is he was unable to
furnish them he is now occupying
a room in the county Jail. Ben
ner IS the man who was charged
with the brutal assault upon Alex
Larson about Z year ago and
which came very near ending that
mans life. He was, when located
by the authorities, confined in the
Jail at Glasgow but escaped from
there and was later arrested in
Grand Forks or Fargo. He was
brought back here last year on the
charge of assaulting Larson but
was let off with the small fine of
500.
