FARMER TOOK POISON
laImar strom Of sweds Township
Near Jud, Tires of Life and Ends
All with, Dose of strychnins.

Jud Leader: One of the saddest
tragedies of recent years occurred last
Sunday morning when Jalmar Stroa1l,
bachelor about so or 35 years of age.
who lived on the Oldberg farm in
Swede township. ended his life by TAX
ing strychnine. Ellis Lundstrom and
his sister, Miss Title, neighbors and
friends of the unfortunate man, think
ing that things mentally were. not just
right with Strom, spent Saturday
night and part Of Sunday morning
with him. The general appearance
of the man indicated that he was in an
unusual frame of mind and they were
loath to leave him alone. but Sunday
morning at about 10 o'clock they went
home Ellis and another sister return
ed Immediately to Strom's home only
to find that they came too late. Strom
in the meantime had taken strychnine
and was dead when thas Lundstroms
arrived. The coroner was at once
notified and took the matter in charge
Deceased is survived by two broth
ers and two sisters All of whom have
resided in the neighborhood. At this
writing we were unable to learn any
thing about the funeral arrangements.
The bereaved relatives have the SYM
pathy Of the community in their hour
of sorrow.

fever are no more in proportion to
population than exists in most Of the
cities More than that, the few taken
i'll came down about the same time
and new cases have not appeared.
There has been but one death due
to- anything like fever and probably
IL there had not been complications
OF a very serious nature recovery
would have occurred
There was a question-and Is yet
as to the cause of fever cases all at
once, and inquiries were set on foot.
The board OF health sent the water
from several wells away for analysis.
The returns from these waters are
not due. but the cessation of new cases
points to other unknown causes.
1t is now believed that some ship
nent from an infected district-either
OF fruit or other edibles-may be held
responsible for the sudden appearance
of the illness to a couple Of dozen of
people in and about Casselton. The
possibilities are several, and the trou-
BILE that has been taken to boil the
water, wash and pare fruit and veget-
ables, and generally to care for health
full conditions, has not been without its
value.

Bismarck, n. d., Dec. 3.-Again are

one is under sentence to hang; fifteen
are for more than ten years, and the
other sentences run from one year up
to ten: eleven of the men seeking

other crimes charged against the
pleaders for mercy are rape, embezzle-
ment, violation OF the prohibition law,
burglary, obtaining money under false
pretenses, assault, highway robbery,
incest, horse stealing, forgery and pro-
ducing abortion. Some of the applica-
tions are for full pardon. one for COM

ARTESIAN WELL
FILLS The Bill

Z = p 4
Nome Tribune: The village council
surely made a tenstrike when 1t de-
cided upon an artesian we'll for a wa
ter supply something badly needed.
not only for fire protection, but for
other purposes.
Last spring it was decided to call a
special election TO decide the matter
of bonding the village for an artesian
we'll, water mains, engine house and
Jail, and fire apparatus The vote at
the election was practically unani-
nous in favor Of the proposition. A
contract was then made with the
North Dakota Artesian Well Co to
sink a three-inc well on the lot own
ed by the village near the center OF
the town. The Valley City Plumbing
and Heating Co. was awarded the
contract for the water mains.
The well itself has cost about ST.
$50: the water mains and pipe for
overflow about $1,450; fire apparatus
s400;' a total of $500. Bonds for
this amount have been issued, the
money being secured from the state.
These bonds run for twenty years at
four per cent. This will not be q bur-
den to the present taxpayers OF those
who may follow.
In the first place the reduction in
insurance should be great saving 20
property owners in the village. We
are unable to state at this time what
the exact reduction will be, but us
ually it is considerable in such in
stances.
The whole scheme has been worked
out by the members of the council in
careful, business like manner. The
board Is composed of level-headel
business men. and they have given
freely Of their time and taken pains
to look into and consider every fea.
ture of the proposition in detail. Every
citizen should feel grateful for the
manner in which the village dads
have handled the entire AFFAIR, and
brought about a successful termina-
ton of plans to furnish an abundant
lsurply Of water and efficient fire pro-
lection.

FIRST ACQUISITION
Being INSTALLED
METHODIST CHURCH OF GRAND
FORKS HAS DISTINCTION
DEAF MAY HEAR
SERMONS.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec 3.-There
is being installed in the First Method
list church in this city al acousticon,
an apparatus which, by means of wires
and ear attachments, enables persons
afflicted with deafness, to hear per-
fectly we'll the sermons, announce
ments and music. Though this acous-
teal attachment is used extensively In
the large churches of New York and
Brooklyn and other large cities, also in
the First Methodist church in Duluth
and one or two churches in Minneapo-
lis, the Grand Forks Methodist church
will have the distinction-of being the
first in North Dakota to be provided
with such a convenience.
The ACQUISITION is a comparatively
new invention and that Grand Forks
church is among the first TO install
one is q mark of real progressiveness
and metropolitanism. The receiving
box, into which the speakers voict is
thrown, Is placed upon the pulpit stand
directly i'm front of the speaker and
the sound is carried over the wires to
the various stations In the body OF the
church The receivers are designed
after those used in wireless telegraphy
and are so sensitive that not note
or syllable will be missed. Already
seven stations have been spoken for
by members of the congregation and
the connections are being made. The
acousticon, however, has capacity for
thirty stations, and the connections
can be made Just as rapidly as there
is a demand for them.
Those Of the Methodist congregation
who are afflicted with deafness, are
more than elated over the installment
Of the instrument and only they can
really appreciate what a pleasure and
convenience it will be.

BILLINGS COUNTY
FARMER HAS MADE
A FORTUNE

Sentinel Butte, Dec. 3.--Michael
Henneghan, who came here seven
years ago from st. Paul and took
homestead about three or four
miles south of town, has sold out
and left for the last named place
where he expects to make his
home. Mike came here with prac-
tically nothing but a good-sized
family and a willingness to work.
and he leaYes with enough so that
he is not planning to do much in
st. Paul except TO look after GER
tain properties there that he has
bought and rented-in other words
he is going back a rent collector
instead OF a renter. He sold his
farm to his brother-in-iaw, John
Cuisck, for $500 and also sold
him $1,000 worth of horses and
cattle-so John is benefited by the
change as well. Mr.. Henneghan
and his family have made a lot Of
friends during their residence here
and their best wishes go with them
to their new home.

Mandan. ~ D.. Dec. 3.--An appro-
priation for the state experiment farm
ing station, established by the last

CASE FOR HUMANE SOC.
Reported That Three Horses Were
Turned Out to Die in Vicinity
of EnderIin.

Sheldon Progress: 1t Is reported that
three horses. turned out to die, have
been running at large through the
country north of Sheldon, living on
artesian water, North Dakota ozone
and what dried grass they can pick up.
One of the horses was found dead a
few days ago on the Lillicrop tree
claim and one of the others has dis
appeared, probably dying from starva-
ton. The remaining one is still run
ming at large. 1t is not known who
turned the horses loose, but 1t is re-
ported that at least one OF the guilty
parties lives in Enderlin. We believe
that Enderlin has a humane society, and
this would be a good case for them
to investigate.
