LOOKING TO OPENING
OF BERTH0LD LANDS

1t is proposed to open the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation north of here as soon
as the necessary arrangements can be
made.
Representative L. B. Hanna who is
fathering the movement already has
introduced bill in congress with
view of bringing about speedy settle
ment of the Indian estate. The Indian
allotments have already been made in
part, it is claimed, and with this
matter finally adjusted nothing will re-
main to be done save the classification
and appraisement of the land by COM
mission to be appointed by the presi-
dent for that purpose.
The bill as introduced by the Fargo
congressman is fashioned after those
which proved so successful in the OPEN
ing of the Rosebud and other great
Indian reservations in the west. For
example the lands will be disposed of
by proclamation under the general
provisions of the homestead act and
townsite laws of the United States.
The farms will be divided into tracts
of 100 acres each and there will be the
usual number of townsites.
Of course the well-known lottery system
of drawing, so successful in the past
opening, will again be resorted to in
order that everybody get square
deal.''
Provision is also made by the Hanna
bill for the school fund of North Dakota
by withdrawing from entry sections
sixteen and thirty-six throughout the
reservation and which are purchased, by
the government from 1.-THE Indians at

MURDER
CHARGE
Ingebret Johnson of Horswill on
Trial for Murder of Indergaard-
Quarrel Over Load of Coal
Caused Tragedy Last Summer.

The district court at Bismarck has
been occupied this week with the john
son murder trial from Hettinger county
on change of venue. 1neebret john
son of Horswill is charged with the
murder of Mons Igaard. The case is
being prosecuted by States Attorney
George H. Stone of Mott, and L. A.
Simpson is counsel for the defense.
The trial opened Wednesday morning
and the story of the killing of Igaard by
johnson was largely brought out by the
testimony of Louis Larson. the man who
went with Igaard to the coal pile near
Johnson s land to get load of coal on
the evening Ieaard was killed. Larson
told of the coming of johnson to the coal
pile, and his demand that Igaard 90
away and let the coal alone. and of the
incidents at the first encounter between
the two men that led Igaard to get down
off the wagon and attack johnson. He
said 1gaard threw him down and choked
him pretty severely. and that he finally
called to Igaard to come away and let
johnson alone. A little later johnson
came toward them as they approached
with the team. johnson stepped in the
road and the witness could see him be-
tween the heads of the horses. johnson
told Igaard to unload the coal and
Igaard said he would if Johnson would
put the gun down. Igaard was sitting
on the wagon seat. holding the lines.

Missouri VALLEY Milling company at a

A force Of 16 expert millwrights
arrived this week from Minneapolis and
for three months they will be engaged
in setting the more important parts of
the mechanical equipment. This is a
slow and tedious process and has to be
correctly done before the machinery can

REFUSE PETITION
City Council Unwilling to Put In
Crossing at Thompson's Corner
Vote to Extend Water System
and Lay Out New Road West.

The hardest work at the city council
is the matter of allowing and disallow-
ing bills by the auditing committee In
the grist that was put before the COM
mittee Monday night there was an hour
and half of solid labor. James Ken
nedy's $500 billfor his balance on water
works was laid aside as the city has
bills for damages to streets and side
walks. and parts of the water system,
that more than Offset Mr.. Kennedy's.
Several other bills were curtailed and
allowed for sums that seemed more rea-
sonable.
After threshing out the stack of bills
the matter of extending the water and
sewer systems came up. W. F. Burnett
made the same offer for Mr.. Young as
proposed by that gentleman last week,
which is to take city warrants not to
exceed SIS. 900 at per cent interest if
the water system was extended from the
corner of Manning's addition west to
Marguerite Boulevard south to Willard
street, east on Willard street two blocks
then north to connect with the mains at
that point. The council voted to extend
the water and sewer system as above
outlined and the city engineer was in
structed to furnish plans and estimates
of the cost for the same. This is more
than Mr.. Young asked for but covers the
territory in which he is interested so
that his offer is still good.
Sewers were asked for by Alderman
Tear from the fourth ward to cover the
following territory: Beginning at the
southeast corner of block % running 3
blocks south on Fourth Avenue East to
Willard street, thence west. two blocks
on Willard street to connect with the
sewer at the southeast corner of block
6. The council voted to make the exten-
sion and ordered the city engineer to
make plans and estimates. A petition
from the residents Of South Dickinson
also asked for an extension of the sewer
system. The route as outlined in the
petition was not considered feasible
and could not be acted upon intelligently
until a report from the engineer be
made. On motion the city engineer was
instructed to 20 over the ground with
the aldermen from the sixth ward and
after selecting the most feasible route
make out his plans and estimates as
in the other cases.

DRAMATIC 'l'R|l TRIAL
Embezzlement Case Against Char:
les Chadderdon at Medora De-
velops Exciting Details
Found Guilty By Jury.

An adjournment was taken in district
court for Billings county last week until
July 10, when it will convene for the
purpose of passing sentence upon Charles
Chadderdon, who was found guilty of
embezzling $1,000 from the Western
Grain Co.
"A Medora correspondent comments on
the trial as follows
''The scenes and incidents in court
during the trial of this case were both
dramatic and pathetic. Chadderdon is
from Minnesota, has wife who bears
all the marks Of lady of culture and
refinement, and who is the mother of
two children. He came to Belfeld.
where he was in the employ of the grain
company elevators, and while there
became acquainted with young lady
of irreproachab]e character, to whom
he paid marked attention and asked her
hand in marriage.
THE defense in trying to show in
what way he disposed of the missing
funds asked him if he knew this young
lady, but this he denied, and on the
following day the young lady was called
to the witness stand. and in answer
to the question if he had asked her to
marry him answered ''Yes. What
the feelings of the wife, who was pres
ent, were, can, perhaps. be imagined.
The pathetic scene was enacted when
the jury brought in its verdict of guilty.
It's the old, old story, sung and told
from the days of old Homer, and away
back beyond, and will continue to be
told until time shall be no more. Poor
woman, why did she ever eat the apple?
This man Chadderdon was ably
prosecuted by State Senator Simpson and
was also brilliantly defended by Joe
Denoyer.
The same writer also saw many inter-
esting sideligbts at court and his COM
ments are interesting to the friends of
those upon whom he made comment,
The following are extracts from his
articles:
much comment was made as to why
Simpson went to. Dickinson for the
night some saying it was owing TO the
want Of good drinking water which has
prevailed since the last closing; others
claiming it was because he had forgotten
to bring along his shoe brush. Many
years since when Simpson was young,

county. and on arrival here found his
client lived some ten miles from town.
