Two Homes saddened.

I! Death visited two homes in
| Washburn during the week-one
of the deaths being a young child
and the other a woman in the
prime of life. Thus the uncer-
tainity of life is fully exempIified.
The uncertainty of life is what
makes death so sad. Two of our
homes are saddened with DEATH
father, mother and husband are
bowed in grief. Relatives aad
friends join in extending sympathy
and good cheer to the bereaved.
Deaths grief overshadows all else
and though human ingenuity has
conceived balms for all other
human ills deaths only balm is
plain words of cheer and sympathy.
When sickness and death visits a
community it is then that the
heart of man is touched and
moved to noble things. When
death comes to a home the man
and woman with christian and
noble inspirations you will find
there doing small acts of cheer.
Let there be cheer to the living,
peace to the dead.

County Seed Grain.

The board of county commits.
sioners are in session considering
applications for seed grain and
feed. The board finds the duties
tfying-and no one is envying
them the job. So far there are
near three hundred applications
on file and the amount of grain
asked for will run up to something
over 10000 bushels. The board
has decided not to consider ap-
plications for feed at all and where
applicants have unincumbered
real or personal property it seems
to be tte opinion of the board
that they are capable of providing
seed for themselves. The policy
of the board is to be fair aud
reasonable with all the applicants,
but are not disposed to obligate
the county except in instances
wherein it appears necessary. A
part of the applications have been
gone over and a number have
been rejected altogether and it
seems that about 10000 bushels
will be what the county will
furnish. In handling this matter
the board is endeavering to be
fair and conservative and any
mistakes they may make will not
be intentional ones.
Talk of mixing the county
division proposition and this seed
grain matter is still rife and the
feeling seems to be that the county
division matter should be disposed
Of before seed grain isfurnish-
ed. Ifthe county is divided there
is bound to be an unequal dis
tribution of the debt incurred by
furnishing seed grain. The more
radical ones propose that the
county commissioners should re-
fuse to entertain applications
at all from the new proposed
county Of Stevenson and let those
who are keeping alive the division
squabble solve the problem Of
furnishing seed grain for their
people. We are anxious that
needy people should be provided
with seed grain and hope that
they will not be disapp pointed.

New Taxable Lands.

The county auditor is in receipt
of the list of new taxable lands
from the state auditor. Under the
law the United States Land Offices
furnish to the state auditor list
of all lands on which proof have
been made during the preceding
wear. and the list is furnished by
the state auditor to the various
county auditors. The Mclean
county list consists of lOl3 des-
criptions of l6O acres each, max
ing total acreage of III, ,O80 acres,
an area equal to almost eight full
townships. This additional land
will add about 100000 to. the tax
able property Of Mclean county
and will aid materially in support
ing district organizations includ-
ing schools. It is now estimated
that all but ten per cent Of the
government land in Mclean coun-
ty has been proved up. This
shows complete reversal in the
last SIX years six years ago only
ten per cent Of the government
land in this county had passed in
to the hands Of private owners.
The opportunity Of procuring FREQ
government land that is subject to
cultivation without irrigation is
now practically a thing Of the past
there are few Indian reserva-
tions that will be subject to home
stead entry during the next ten
years, but these lands will all be
subject to cash payments Of four
or five dollars per acre.

him in Benson county in May,
May, 1907, his escape and flight
to the state of Washington, his
subsequent capture, and his second
attempt to escape from the train
at Rugby on the return with the
officials, having slipped his
shackels and handouts off while

Assistant States Attorney
Buttz was pleased with the result
Of the present case, but had ex-
pressed himself as confident of a
conviction in any event. After
pleading guilty the defendant
withdrew his motion for new
trial in she first case.
At 3 p. m. Judge KneeshaW
imposed a sentance of four years
in the penitentiary at hard labor
in each case.
Shaffer is said to have been 6
leader among a band of over sixty
horse thieves operating in western
North Dakota. and it is believed
that his conviction will effectively
discourage their operations il
this part of the state. Shaffer ex:
hausted his entire fortune Of
about $4,000 in his defense and
in the payment of civil judgments
obtained against him for stolen
horses. About $1,000 of such
judgments were obtained against
him in Benson county last year.

! No Delay IN Patents.

A recent Washington telegram
Says There will be no delay in
issuing patents to North Dakota
homesteaders under the new coal
land bill.
Secretary Ballinger Of the in
terror department, Commissioners
bennett of the general landofhce
and the legal authorities of the
department, after placing several
constructions upon the new bill,
have agreed that it leaves them
no choice but to issue patents as
rapidly as possible to the home
steaders who have offered final
proof, and whose claims the govern
ment cannot prove to be chiefly
valuable for coal deposits.
The legal authorities Of the
department have been inclined to
hold that the governments had a
right to hold up the patents until
it could examine the lands. & The
decision has finally been reached,
however. that the land 10 chiefly
valuable for coal. and in the event
. -. . :
that it is not, the patent must be
issued to the homesteader.
Commissioner bennett is pre-
pairing to send large force of
inspectors into North Dakota to ex-
anime the claims which have not
been proven up, SO that the govern
ment will be ready when final
proof is offered.
The secretary has withdrawn
from homestead settlement for six
months all the Winnebegoshis,
Cass Lake and Chippewa lands in
the Leach Lake Indian reservation
in Minnesota and included,in the
national forest created by the act
of 1908, and not yet opened to
homestead entry.
The object of the Withdrawal il
to enable Indians who relinquish
.allotments within the limits Of The
national forest and also Indians
whose allotlnements in the
national forests are included in
the state swamp selections, to
select lieu lands outside Of the
forest.

Devils Lake, N. D., March 22.-FF
At 2:3O o'clock Saturday afterDoonq
Hartley "a. M. Shaffer, who ;was
on trial on q second charge of
horse-stealing, caused a sensation
by Withdrawing his former plea of
not guilty and pleading guilty u
grand larency
The case came to this county oh
a change of venue from Benson
county. Proceedings begaa
Thursday when the defendant wa1i
arrainged. That day and Friday
were taken up in the argument olI
various preliminary motions, CHIEF
of which was defending OBJ
jections to the jurisdiction OF
the Ramsey county court. As
sistant States attorney G: w.
Buttz Of Minewaukan conducted
the prosecution and Geo. A. Bangs
of Grand Forks was defendants
council. Several constitutional
questions involved in the defen-
dant's motions were argued at
length. Judge Kneeshaw Of
Pembina was on the bench and at
the close of the legal Arguments
overruled each Of the defendants
contentious. A jury was then
secured and court adjourned un-
til l:3O p. m. After dinner as
Attorney Butz was about to open
the case to the jury for the state.
Mr.. Bangs asked for a few mo-
ments further time. Shortly
afterwards the defendant, his wife
and attorney appeared in the court
room and Mr.. Bangs stated that
the circumstances had SO changed
and the states case become SO
strengthened that on the whole
there was such combination of
circumstance aud situations as no
human mind might overcome, and
therefore the defendant asked
leave of the court to withdraw his
plea of not guilty and enter plea
of guilty, and leave was SO granted.
This ends a series of the most
important criminal prosecutions
ever conducted in northwestern
North Dakota. Shafer was tried
here in January on a charge Of
stealing horses from another farm
er and was convicted after a trial
lasting two weeks. Mr.. Butz
and States Attorney Sinness Of
Benson county conducting that
case for the state, and Mr.. Bangs
with Lingstron & Burke OF Mine
waukan appearing for the defend
ant. Had not the. defendant
pleaded guilty I'd; the present
charge, the trial would likely have
occupied three weeks or more.
The Benson county officials had
carefully prepared the states case
and credit is particularly due 10
assistant States Attorney Buttz,
States Attorney sinaess and
Snerif Talleysin securing evidence
