ited-capt. and Mrs. Hall Have Done
Some Good Work.

arrangements for the construction of

duct their services and transact their
business. The plans call for a two
story cement building and it is to be
located at 108 Main street, and will be
25x5O feet and modern in every way.
Capt, and Mrs. Hall, who have been
stationed here since Jan. 20 of this
year, have been very successful In
their work, having paid of about 5000
of old bills and now have over 500
in the bank as a nest egg for the new
building. The prisoners at the pent-
Tertiary have made the first contrib
utat1on to the new building and it is
expected that with the help of the
Lord and the people OF Bismarck that
there will soon be erected new
building that will be, an improve
ment for Main street and credit to
the Capitol City. It Is the hope Of
the local officers that the building will
be completed and ready for occupancy.
The building as planned will cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000.
Friends Of the army and the work
they are doing who wish to contribute
towards the erection of the new hall

aside from Johnson who witnesses the
shooting, went to a coal mine where
number of loads of coal had been
mined, and were loading up wagon
with coal. While they were there
Johnson came and ordered them away

refused, started to kick one of the
horses. At this, Igaard got down and
engaged in an alteration with Johnson

came back later and ordered the men
away, finally throwing lump of coal
at then. Johnson went away a second
time, and Igaard and Larson unloaded
and started back along the road with
the team. When they reached John.
sons place, he cane out to the road
and shot Igaard with a shot gun, while
he was setting in the wagon seat.
The charge pierced his stomach and
intestines and he fingered until the
following day when he died.

made repeated threats at people, and
that JOhnsO stood IN fear OF him.
johnson was fomesteader with a
wife and six children and he owned

loading. He ordered them to leave it
alone, at which Igaard got down of

TIoNs REGARDING LAW EN-

Let Last Evening.

foregoing represents the orders that
were issued to the chief of police

special meeting of the city commits
sioners.
The entire police force was called
before the commission and told in

officers are to collect all the evidence
that can be obtained, report to their
chief and he in turn will make writ
ten report to the commission and &C.

Tribune reporter, Chief Mcdonald
stated that the instruc tons of the
commission would be lived up to
strictly and the reports turned in as
soon as they were received from the
men under him.
The side walk ordinance that was
introduced couple of weeks ago was
again taken up and had its final read

Amount to Big sum.
The fines of the women and the
sums paid by two boys who plead
guilty during the afternoon, amount
ed to $1,157S0, and of this amount
the county clerk collected in fines
and fees $S24.40. The money paid
by the women was chiefly in silver

that the county clerk took to the

proceedings for renting property for
immoral purposes. Some of the prop

however, that he means to finish this
business, and that he has determined
that there shall be no disorderly

The full force of the wind hit the

several men put out from shore in Il

succeeded in towing ii TO land.
There were but five launches at the
Island City harbor, or the damage
might have been considerably more
than it was. One boat was just re-
turning after having taken a runaway
trip during the night, when the storm
of the afternoon broke, and its owners
