BOUND over
FOR ASSAULT

Minot, N. D., March 2s.-Whether
boot properly applied on a mans
head could be considered a dangerous
veal pom was a question to be decided
in justice court yesterday in the case
against James Brennan and Jim Reed
for assault. Both men were finally
bound over to the county court on the
simple charge OF assault and placed
under bonds Of 500.
The testimony brought out practi-
call the same facts as given in The
Reporter before. James Mclean, the
man who was held UP was the princi-
pal witness though he admitted that
he was so intoxicated that he did not
know much of what happened. Bren-
nan claimed that he had nothing to
do with the fight but that he made an
attempt to separate the two men, Reed
and Mclean, when they were fighting.
The women who were in the house
testified that it was Brennan who did
the kicking.
The case against Applegate for
stealing the watch has been continued
until Monday.

the Front Ranks Of Agricultural
States Of the Nation.

Bismarck Palladium: Farmers Of

Governor Burke's action in cutting off
the appropriation for an experiment
station at Harvey and in trimming
down the amount deemed necessary
for agricultural college Improvement
No more useful institution exists in
the state than the agricultural college
at Fargo, and its present and continu-
ously crowded condition indicates the
high estimation in which II is held by
the intelligent farmers OF an essen
TALLY agricultural commonwealth.
Largely through the instrumentality of
its splendid corps of teachers North
Dakota has become the principal wheat
and fax growing state in the union
and It is a certainty that, but for the
research OF its experts in
that insiduous plant disease known as
fax-w wilt, the growing OF that cereal
would have been greatly curtailed, If
not entirely destroyed. Yet the gov
ernor picks out the appropriation for
this institution as q proper place to
apply the shears OF petty economy.
Similarly in Wells county, where a
large population were rejoicing in the
assurance that they would have the
assistance of trained experts in solv-
ing the agricultural problems Of their
soil. his excellency has seen fit to veto
the whole appropriation, without which
an experiment station cannot be estab

HOW FORBES, N. D.
IS PROSPERING

Forbes, N. D., March ea.-To The
Forum: Just little more than three
years ago the Great Northern railroad
built out an extension from Ellendale,
n. D., west about fifteen miles and
there staked out the village of Forbes.
No sooner had the rumor of the ex-
tension been confirmed than business
men. looking for openings, were on
the ground and selecting lots on which
to build. At this writing the piece
of land that three years ago was bare,
now has on it as fine stores and other
building as one can wish to see
anywhere. Hellekson,, Schulstad &
Co. have the largest building in town
used exclusively for store purposes.
These people carry a complete line of
hardware and furniture, which is
housed in 50x50 two story iron clad
building with up-to- date shelving and
stee:, ceiling. r. Sager conducts a
general store of more than ordinary
size; a part of his building is just
being fitted up for an opera house
which will have good big stage with
all necessary scenery and curtains.
Edw. Elofson, cash store, is housed
in a 24xs0 iron clad building. The
Forbes Mercantile Co. conducts a gro
cery store and also have the loca lteI-
ephone exchange located in their
place. The postofice is also in this
building Robert McGlynn is Just
opening up first class store in a
building 24xSo feet and from present
appearances VIII have, a complete
stock. The Forbes State bank is
housed in nice cement block build
ing which was erected last year. The
building is heated with hot water and
has the latest Improved vaults. F. d.
Mccartney is cashier and HI. Haldeman
assistant cashier. The Forbes Re-
publican is the popular weekly news
paper that is published every Thurs
day. Mr.. Nagel the proprietor and ed
itor is getting out good sheet. He is
going to build new up-to- date shop
this spring. Other enterprises in the
town are: two harness shops, two res
taurants, implement dealer, two lum-
ber yards, butcher shop, barber shop,
creamery, livery barn, drug store, pool
hall, blacksmith shop, doctor. etc.

81 Is
Hazelton, N. D., March 29.--A deal
Of large dimensions was put through
here by which A. e. Klabunde be-
came the owner of the w. Nj. Mat
thews farm and town property The
farm embraces $50 acres and is near
ly all under the plow. The town
property consisted OF the fine resi-
dence in the south end of the town, a
number of residence lots and the busi-
ness lot on Main street between Geo.
zirbes' and the Hazelton Pharmacy.
The transfer came as surprise to
the people here, for while 1t was
known for some time that Mr.. Mat
thews contemplated selling out, the
deal was made IN such short order
that 1t caused any amount of won
der as to who the purchaser was,
while II is not known what the pur-
chase price for all the property was,
it is said the land sold for about
$35 per acre, and the entire consid-
GRAFTON was in the neighborhood OF
$4,000, and that 1t was a cash deal
BY this Mr.. Klabunde becomes one
OF the largest resident farmers and
land owners In the county. and will
have something over 1900 acres In
crop this year. He Is we'll satisfied
with his latest acquisition. and says
it is only question of a short time

The farmers CAN GO TO
That Is Position Taken by the Gov
srnor-WiII Not Run Again
and Feels Safe.

Bottineau Courant: Governor Burke
slashed $4,000 off the appropriation
bills passed by the last legislature.
The school of forestry appropriation
was not cut down, neither was that
for the state university at Grand
Forks. But the governor chopped a
big hole in the agricultural college ap-
preparation. John does not expect to
run for governor again, hence he feels
perfectly free to antagonize the insti-
tuition of greatest importance to the
farmers of the state. He vetoed the
appropriation making possible the pub
lication of the farmers institute annu-
ais. All of which should make glad
the hearts of the republican farmers
who bolted their ticket last fall-nit.

STOCKWELL and
SPOILS SYSTEM

Bismarck Palladium: The report o.
the committee appointed to investigate
the Office Of State Superintendent
Stockwell is now before the public, and
Is matter Of record in the senate
journal for the sixtieth day.
AS before stated, 1t shows that Mr.
Stockwell retained for his own per.
sonal use an unexpended balance Of
$3.50, over and above all compensa-
tion allowed him by law in connection
with the other duties of his Office"
The itemized statement annexed tc
the report is about as fragrant an ex-
pose OF nepotism and favoritism as
could well be imagined. The Stock.
well family--self. wife and relatives
come in for goodly share of the spoils
OF easy money, while Grast s. HageI
OF The Grafton Record and ST. Thomas
Times seems to have been a prime
favorite. Other newspaper publishers
now vociferous in their defense of an
untenable position, were also kindly re-
membered.
notwithstanding the constitutional
provision definitely fixing the state su-
requiring the covering into the state
treasury OF all fees received in his
office, Mr.. Stockwell has seen fit TO
construe the law so as to cover into
his own pocket the unexpended balance
in the county certificate fund, the
amount so retained being far in ex-
cess of the aggregate paid out TO the
people employed to do the actual work
surely an exorbitant price to be paid
for the alleged supervision of the work
Of trained examiners, his own equals
scholastically, even did the law au-
thorize such a payment, which it most
certainly does not. ..
Through the use of these funds, and
at the expense of the poorly paid
teachers of the state, Mr.. Stockwell
has succeeded in the past in establish
ing for himself a reputation for gen.
erosity and educational enthusiasm
which now, in the light OF the itemized
statement, is shattered to pieces and
becomes positively Pecksniffian in it's
hypocrisy. ...
Mr.. Stockwell attempts to defend
his retention of the balance referred to
by stating that he is confident that
should this work be undertaken by q
separate board or be done outside OF
our organized Office force, every bit of
the 81 fee would be necessary to de-
fray the expense" There are scores
of competent scholars resident within
the state who know this assumption to
be positively false, and even il such
were the case it is no defense against
deliberate violation of the law.
1t is to be hoped that everyone in
terested in the economical and honest
administration of our school system
will read carefully the report of the
committee on the Stockwell investiga-
tion and judge for themselves. how
much the paltry excuses of the dis
credit superintendent are worth.

Greatly Different Story.

Grand Forks. Nd, March %
When Madaline and Eddie Schnebli
arrived at the court of Justice Nc
Loughlin this morning to appear
against their father. Fred Scnnebli,
who had been arrested Fridav night
at his home on Bulge avenue after
the children had come to the police
station for protection, claiming their
father had threatened to kill them,
the situation looked different to them
with the result that the father was
discharged from custody, there being
no case against him.
The case is one Of the most peculiar
that has come to the attention of the
police for some time past. Late last
night the two children, Madaline,
aged 16 years, and Eddie, aged IA
years came to the police station so
badly frightened that when they told
story to the effect tiat their father
had made threats TO kill them, and
that they feared a younger brother,
aged years would be killed. the
police made a trip post haste to the
Schnebli residence and placed him In
jail, a warrant charging him with
threatening TO kill being sworn out
against him.
The children also told that their
father had two revolvers, one OF
which was found 1t was a rusty and
useless affair. and is now in the pos
session OF the officials.
The case being set for 10 o'clock
this morning before Judge McLough-
| lin, the children were brought in as
witnesses. An examination OF them
shortly revealed the fact that they
| mad changed their mind as to the
manner Of the proceedings last even
ing and instead OF having been chased
and threatened, it would appear from
their story that the girl, Madiline haG
been told by some man that had come
to their home, that their father mao
made threats. This of course. woulc
not hold. and the defendant was ac-
cordingly released from custody.
