GIRL MAY DIE
FROM INJURIES
SERVANT EMPLOYED IN TRAIlL COUN-
N HOUSEHOLD Has TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE.

Hillsboro, N. D., Aug. 21.-A
deplorable accident occurred on
the Christian Kaldor farm in Nor
way township which may result
in the death of the unfortunate
victim.
Miss Laura Spencer, a domestic
on the place, had started a fire in
the kitchen stove and was attempt
ing to help it along with kerosene
poured from q can. An explo-
sion occurred and the young wo-
man was instantly covered with
the burning oil. She had the
presence of mind to run out and
roll in the grass, thus extinguish-
ing the flames.
Her cries brought neighbors to
the scene who at once called DR..
Anderson. He removed the pa
tient to his hospital in this city
where she is now receiving the
best of care. 1t was found that
her face, arms and legs were bad
ly burned and her injuries may
prove fatal, although there is
some hope of her recovery.
Miss Spencer's home is at Chris
tine, N. D., from where her
mother arrived to care for her.

JONES TALKS
FREELY OF CASE
MYSTERIOUS WOMAN WITH The AB
SC0NDER DISAPPEARS WITH
THE CASH.

Canadian, Tex, Aug. 23-Andy
Jones, the fugitive North Dakota
banker, was arrested here on the
10th by Shelly johnson at the in
stigation of U. S. Secret Officer
Dennenberg of Chicago.
Jones was very much surprised
at the arrest as he supposed he
was safe from pursuit, but made
no resistance. He came to this
place some time ago with q wom-
an who passed as Mrs. Jones, but
no one seems to know if she IS his
wife or not, at any rate she disap-
peared shortly after his arrest and
no one knows where she has gone.
There is some remark at this as
it is thought that she may have
carried with her a large sum of
the money that Jones is said to
have brought south with him from
North Dakota.
Jones talks freely and says he
is willing to return to North Da-
kota and make a clean breast of
his transactions, but does not ad-
NIT that he is as black as they
paint him in his home state.

THE new SEWER
ABOUT READY
WORK PROGRESSES SLOWLY OWING TO
SCARCITY OF LABOR.--ABUT.
MENTS BEING PLACED.

The abutments and fune for
the outlet of the sewer are being
placed this week and by next
Monday it is expected that those
along the sewer line on Main
street as far north as Second
street will be able to cut in. Ow-
ing to the scarcity of labor it is
estimated that the entire system
will not be in working order un-
til the latter part of October or
November. This may be over
come to a considerable extent by
a return of labor from the harvest
fields and from threshing.

SHERIFF OLESON
UNDER ARREST
PLEAD GUILTY TO RECEIVING STOLEN
PR0PERN.-FlNED TWENTY DOL
Vs. LARS AND RELEASED

Last Tuesday evening while
Sheriff Ben Oleson was alone with
the reveries of his bachelor days.
enjoying the peaceful solitude of
his apartments and recounting
past achievements as he mechan--
ically united and assorted time
stained and delicately perfumed
packets of billet-doux-bringing
melancholy memories of enchant-
ing faces that danced before his
vision in heterogeneous route.
invoking resolutions such as only
come to brave benedict-elects- he
was suddenly confronted by armed
deputies and dragged to the court
house, where, in the council cham
bers, High Priest, Chas. Mans
field was holding court.
The Judge read the charge to
about twenty of the prisoners as
sembled bachelor friends which
was to the effect that the defendant
was charged with malicious intent
to commit matrimony, which
was contrary to the laws of the
Ancient order of Confirmed Bach
elors, and was asked by the court
to show cause, if any he had, why
he should not consent to be made
the recipient of as many different
kinds and varieties of socks as the
love-lorn and luckless members
present could produce. Ben plead
guilty to the charge-and, being
farsighted, thought he saw the op-
portunity of supplying the Oleson
wardrobe with socks even unto
the seventh generation accepted
the decree of the court without q
murmer.
Socks! .Ceaaser's Ghost! There
was baby socks, boys socks, socks
for little girls and socks for the
big girls, socks for the men and
socks for the danes; socks of every
shape, size and hue from the half
hose to full length; socks of every
design known to the connisseurs
of hosiery since the beginning of
time, from the dainty pink-toed
baby socks to those elaborate fret
work socks worn by some women
and admired by most men; espec-
tally where the perforation comes
socks gathered from the four
corners of the earth. Socks, socks,
socks!
Ben was game, however, but
just as he was backing out with
his burden of socks he was rear
rested for receiving stolen prop
erty and was promptly 'socked"
twenty dollars by the court, which
he as promptly paid and was al
lowed to 60 on his way rejoicing
What happened after his depar-
ture, and after the Judge had ad-
journed court, deponent sayeth
not, but it is known that many a
beacon light shown dimly from un-
accustomed windows until the wee
sma' hours of the night.

ANDY JONES
ARRESTED IN TEXAS
WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST SENT TO
IEXAS.-ARRES1ED IN 80 -
T LATED PLACE.

titled copy of the warrant that has
been out for Andy Jones, the fu-
eitive banker of Rugby and Bar
ton, N. D., was today forwarded
by Assistant District Attorney w.
H. Barnett of this city to the au-
thorities of Canadian, Texas,
where he is under arrest. Def
mite information concerning his
capture was given out today by
Attorney Barnett, who received
first advices from the department
of Justice, Washington, D. c., to
the effect that the defaulting man
had been found.
The information of Jones' ar
rest was received in Fargo by Mr..
Barnett Thursday afternoon in a
telegram. This message only
gave the bare statement that Jones
had been captured at Canadian,
Texas, by the secret service men,
and was being held there pending
action upon the part of the federal
officials of the district of North
Dakota.
In accordance with this infor-
mation, the copy of the warrant
that was out for Jones was for
warded today and the long miss
ing banker will be brought back
to the state to face the charges
that have been placed agninst him.
The scene of Jones' arrest lies
in Hemphill county, which is in
the panhandle of Texas. Cana
dian is a town of about 500 popu-
lstion, according to the last CEN
sus, and it is located twenty miles
west of the west boundary of Ok
lahoma. The Atcheson, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad runs through
the city and is the only railroad
traversing the county.
The announcement OF Jones'
capture yesterday occasioned no
little interest throughout the
state. Jones' defaulcations, his
fight from the state leaving in his
wake nearly 100 creditors togeth-
er with many depositors in both
the Rugby and Barton banks in
which he was interested, were of
a most sensational character, and
coupled with his prominence in
the financial world of Pierce
county and other counties of th-t
section, his escapade attracted
more than passing attention..
The warrant for Jones arrest,
which was issued on the findings
of the federal jury, has only been
out since May, although the fren-
zied tinancier has been missing
since about January l.

CANADIAN INDIANS DYING. ,
Starvation Follows Intense Cold
 Weather In the Northwest.

Winnipeg Dispatch to the New York Her
 ald
 Colin Fraser, an old-time trapper, who for the last 28 years has been going north from Edmonton each fall into Canada s forests, has returned to civilization, and tells in graphic manner the terrible suf- ferings of the Indians in the far north during the winter now drawing to a close. He says:
 "rThe cold has been intense ever since Christmas and 1t was the hardest winter I have ever seen In the north. During a period of 50 days the thermometer never went higher than 3S below zero, and 50 and even 55 below days were quite frequent. The Indians have suffered terribly, and in one small tribe 67 of them have died of since the beginning of January. Their stores have run out and many of them are now on the verge of starvation. Fish solved the food problem in former years when fur-bearing animals were scarce. but this year there are no fish to be caught
 ITO give some idea of the scarcity of fur this winter the catch I will bring down when the rivers open Is not one tenth of former years. This scarcity of l fear great mortality among the north ern Indians, for they will get neither the flesh to eat nor the fur to trade for other commodities. Long since the trading stores in the north have ceased to give credit The government should at once take steps to relieve these poor red men"
