KILLED NEAR BADEN, N. ..

Kenmare, N. d., May 7.--Will Mad
den, the fifteen year old son of G. J.

himself about half mile from Baden
yesterday afternoon about O'Clock.
The boy with his brother, Q year

some unexplained manner. the gun was
discharged. The younger brother was
too frightened for few minutes to
give any alarm. He then ran back to
the village and told his father and
neighbors, but when they arrived will
was dead. ...
The full charge had entered his chest
and the clothing was powder stained
from the close proximity of the mouth
of the gun.
The younger brother could give no
coherent account of the cause of the
accident. He was not with viii, but
heard the report of the gun and look
ed about to see his brother fall over.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon. The grief stricken parents
have the sympathy of all the citizens
of the town.
The justice Of the peace and a ply
sician looked over the scene of the

Josephine, empress of the French,

Her name In reality was Marie Josephe
Rose. Napoleon after the marriage
exacted that she should be known as
Josephine. He had mania for re-
baptizing the women of his entourage.
He made his sister Marianne an Elise,
Of Annonciade a Caroline, of Paulette
a Pauline.
Among her numerous friends Joseph
Inc remained Yeyette. Barras never
called her otherwise.
The pope was so unfamiliar with
her name that when he sent his bene-
diction the letter borne by his legate
was addressed to ''Our Sister In Jesus
Christ, Victoria Bonaparte."
In 1914, ON the departure for Elba.
the Debats designated Josephine under
the paraphrase "the mother OF Prince

At Rueil her tomb bears this simple

FOR SALE

| offer for sale. what believe to be
the best and most valuable tract of
land in the state of Montana, for its
size and I would ask your careful in
vestigation OF same, the property con
sists of 1900 acres, and is the pick OF
the country, this is Decided land, the
improvements ON this tract such as
buildings. ditching. fencing, has cost
$4,000. there is now under irrigation
about 1000 acres more or less, and by
going further up the river one could
put I'm a ditch that would irrigate all
this tract. Last year they cut 800 tons
OF wild meadow hay, and 200 tons of
alfalfa, and 1000 bushels of small
grain. There was also fed $50 horses,
200 head of cattle and $4,000 sheep.
The owner did not do so bad. There
is about 1000 acres in bottom land the
balance is on the first bench, and will
raise splendid small grain without ir-
riRation. The soil is very rich, none
better. Others have tried raising win
ter wheat on the bench land, and they
have raised big crops, as you Will see.
Madison county is the southern county
of the state and the climate is OF the
best for raising grains of all kinds
and for stock very seldom they put
stock under shelter in winter: 1t will
no doubt become a great fruit grow

one and a half miles from Twin
Bridges, and Twin Bridges Is 20
miles south Of whitehall and on the
N. p. r. r. Twin Bridges Is on the
Ruby Valley branch of the N. P. R. r.
This tract ia in the Jefferson valley
and the Jefferson river runs along and
close to It Besides the above decided
land there is some 5000 acres OF
lease land. at a cost of $45 per every
$40 acres per year. If you are looking
for an investment, buy this. put water
on same, cut it up into small farms.
Do this and you can sell readily at $50
to 500 per acre. There is no state in
the union where the Valley lands
raise so fast in value as in Montana.
This we all know. Don't try and
come back at me and say, why don't

Money is why | don't do just as / ask

One-third cash one-thlrd in eighteen
months, and one-third in three years
after date OF sale: interest at per

MINOT OBJECTS

COMMERCIAL CLUB FILES RE
MoNsTRANcE WITH AGENTS.
Specific Points Reveal Where 0iscrin-

pers-GeneraI Reduction Asked on
Certain Glasses of Shipments.

Minot, N D.. May 7.-Believing that
the shippers and jobbers OF ST. Paul
and Minneapolis are given an undue
advantage over the local interests, the
freight rate committee of the COM
mercial club have filed with the agents
of the 500 and Great Northern a writ
ten remonstrance against the rates
now in force. pointing out in concise
terms the particulars I'm which they
believe that they are Disseminated
against.
The committee, composed OF George
Mann, F. J. Kaufman, p. ". Mccoy,
VIM. Dunnell and l.. J. Palda, made
their report last evening to the board
of directors.
Favor Twin Cities.
In substance it Is as follows: The
committee asked for a general reduc-
tion Of rates as far west as Havre,
inasmuch as to that point the Jobbers
of the twin cities have an advantage.
On third class shipments, for in
stance. the rate from Duluth, Mime
apolis and st. Paul on local shipments
to Malta Is the same as Minot jobbers
secure using car load lots at Minot and
local shipments west. In short Minot
jobbers are given no advantage from
the carload rates.
In Oil rates it was shown that the
rate is fourth class from the twin
cities to any North Dakota point while
third class rate applies from Minot to
Montana points. On a shipment to
CuIbertson the twin cities have an ad-
vantage over Minot Of cents, while
to Havre the advantage is "a cents.
Rate for Print Paper.
The committee also thought that
the 40 cents commodity rate should be
applied to print paper.
A marked discrepancy was shown in
the -four rates between Great Falls
and any Montana point and Minot
and Montana point This was shown
to be eminently unfair and was one
of the points upon which the commit
tee laid the most stress.
