THIEF GOT TWENTY-FIVE DAYS
William Buchanan Went to Grand
Forks County all

Grand Forks, N. D., June 5.-Will-
lam Buchanan, arrested on a charge
of petit larceny, entered a plea OF
guilty before Police Magistrate
Church this afternoon and was given
fine of $50 or twenty-five days.
His shortage of funds resulted in his
going to the county Jail.
Buchanan, when he heard the SEN
tence of the court, expressed the
opinion that he would like to have
the case reopened, but it was then
too late, however. He was charged
with stealing a saw worth IS from A.
F. Turner. Buchanan once resided in
Minot, living with his large family in
a tent. He was a good for nothing.
He was put in Jail for non-support
of his family.

The defeat Of the Bill to locate the

II the field for the location of the
state fair Devils Lake, Grand Forks,
Fargo and jamestown. The bill that
was defeated WAS one which located
the fair permanently at Fargo. This
leaves the field still open. It is GER
tain that Fargo win oppose locating
the fair at Grand Forks. and will prob
ably favor jamestown In preference
to q Great Northern city. The outcome
OF this may possibly be that Grand
