CHECK RAISER is
BEHIND The BARS
GEORGE sTARKWEATHER OF
MANDAN RAISED A 1856 CHECK
TO s55.s5-pETEcTED BY
CASHIER.

Mandan, N. D., Sept. /. - George
Starkweather was bound over to the
district court in Judge Thurston's
court for raising a check which had
been issued to him by b. J. Campbell.
Starkweather presented check at
the State bank or Morton county on
Saturday morning for the amount Of
$55.35. Cashier Peterson, after ex-
aiming the check, suspicioned that
the check had been raised and re-
fused payment. Starkweather left
the bank and met Campbell to whom
he put up the story, according to
Campbell that he had lost his money
in a poker game. Campbell says that
he told him to come back to the bank
with him and he would see If he could
not fix It up IN some way. When they
entered the bank the officials asked
Campbell for how much he had given
the check and he replied that 1t was
$5.35. StarlCweather heard the con-
versation and made a dive for the door
and across by way of the freight depot.
The police were notified and gave
chase, which resulted in the mans
arrest
When taken UP In court Starkw cath
er put up the defense that his name
was Sam Starkweather and that the
raising of the check had been done
by twin brother, who looked just
like him and who wore exactly the
same kind Of clothes. The Judge, how
ever, considered the evidence was
strong enough to hold him over until
the next term of court.

THRESHING SHOWS
DECREASED CROPS
REPORTS FROM POINTS IN RAM
SEY COUNTY STATE LOW
GRADE AND SMALL
YIELD,

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. i.-Thresh-
ing reports coming in from all parts of
Ramsey county are proving the state
ments made as to crop damage from
rust and hot winds. Sheriff Belford
expected a forty bushel crop at places
ON his farm near Sweetwater, but the
winds caught 1t towards the last and
the threshing shows that it will not
go better than fifteen bushels Of No
8 at any place. The winds and the
rust caught all the farmers in that
neighborhood, and from a start In
growth that made a bumper crop
seem certain, the threshing shows that
there has been at least a so per cent
decrease.
Christopher Lee in Bergen township
had about the same experience. The
threshing just finished there accord
ing to reports, show that the grain
will not even make a grade, as the
shriveIing from the heat caught II
before It filled. II is running between
fifteen and twenty bushels Of no grade
grain to the acre in the places that
were expected to show thirty bushels
OF No. /.

SHOOTS HIMSELF
HUNTING GOPHERS
HAROLD oDEeARD or oLMsTEAD
CARRIED MuZZLE OF GUN ON
FOOT, HAND ON
TRIGGER.

Egeland Enterprise: Last Monday
evening, Harold odegard, the son OF
Ed Odegard, of Olmstead, was shot IN
the foot with serious consequences. 1t
seems that the young man was out
shooting gophers with 90 calibre
rifle, and was walking along with the
muzzle of the gun resting on his foot,
and his hand on the trigger. AS
usually happens in these cases, the
gun went off, and the contents dis
charged i'm the arch OF his foot His
father hurried him to DIR. Lindner's
office, where a superficial examination
failed to show any bullet In the
meantime it was learned that the
cartridge in the gun was one of the
so-called shot type, being filled with
small shot instead Of a bullet.
Tuesday morning the foot was put
under DR.. Linder's powerful x-Ray
machine, and there could be plainly
seen between two long bones In the
foot the entire charge Of shot, very
slightly scattered, and about one-half
way through the foot.
An operation was deemed necessary
and the doctor with the help Of DR..
Swenson of Bismarck, performed the
same. An opening was made through
the foot, and the small shot probed
out, even the paper wad coming out
of the wound In almost perfect shape,
indicating the terrific force Of the
cartridge at such close range. The
young man is getting along nicely at
this writing, and promises tina. he Will
take no more chances with rifles and
guns in tits manner.

were then living. In the meantime
his son and daughter, who were liv-
ing on the claim belonging to the son
John, started a quarrel which termin
ated in the murder Of the girl and the
suicide Of the son, The gruesome
facts In connection with the Bruhn
tragedy are stu fresh in the minds OF
Ward county people. Upon the
arrival of Mr.. Bruhn in Ward county
after the death Of his children, the
contest against his wife's claim was
instituted. In his complaint he al
legged that he had been driven away
from home in the first place by his
son and through fear Of him had new
or returned before. The case was
started in the landofice, but no de-
cisaon reached as yet. This week
MIR. Bruhn sent for Public Administra-
tor Hovoy, who was the attorney for
Mrs. Bruhn, and a settlement was
agreed upon whereby the contest was
dropped and all claims against the
sons estate were hxed upon. Mr..
Bruhn upon the settlement stated that
the contest was the work of meddle-
some neighbors, who through selfish
or personal motives had started the
family row. Mr.. Bruhn will leave
