 It was not until 1926 that government lotteries were abandoned in Britain. For 30 years preceding an average annual profit of over s1.725.00O had accrued, one contractor alone spending s150000 in ad- vertisements in single year. The money thus raised was usually for a particular purpose, such as the improvement of London, the purchase of Tomkins' pie ture gallery, or the repair of various har- bors.

Welded AT HIGH NOON
Pretty Home Wedding Today-R. o,
5elden United to Miss Pauline
Peterson.

Miss Pauline Peterson, the accom-
plished daughter of Mrs. Mary Pet
erson of Seventh street north, and
r. o. Belden were married today at
high noon at the pretty home Of the
bride. Rev. w. S. Ulrich of st. Marks
Lutheran church, read the marriage
service in the presence of a few init
mate friends and relatives. Miss Alice
Garmann attended the bride, who was
beautifully gowned in pale blue MESA
line and carried brides roses. Carl
More acted as best man.
The Peterson home was handsomely
decorated in American beauty roses.
The young couple left on a wedding
trip to st. Paul, Minneapolis, Chica-
so and Duluth. The bride was be-
comingly goWned in costume of
brown broadcloth. Upon their return
they will make their home at 1106
Seventh street north and will be at
home to their friends after Dec. Is.
The bridegroom is a popular business
man of Fargo and is cashier of the
Scandinavian bank. Miss Peterson is
well known here and is prominent in
social circles. The young people have
the hearty we'll wishes Of a host of
friends.

speedily brought TO light. Events now
rapidly followed in succession. The

however, had plenty of friends, and
they moved heaven and earth to aid
him in hir fight for freedom. A change
of venue was taken to Dickey county,
and W. E. Purcell, now United States
senator but at that time the leading
criminal lawyer of the state, was en-
ployed to defeat the ends Of justice.
Purcell very nearly succeeded. despite

The jury finally brought in a verdict
of guilty, but it was considered only
halfway verdict, for Wells drew only
fifteen years in the penitentiary. IL
was considered by all fair minded and
unbiased persons that if the defendant
was guilty at all he was entitled to at
least life imprisonment if not hang
ing. He was speedily removed to the
pen to commence serving his sentence.
Since his Incarceration many and di-
vers attempts have been made 20 bring
about his release, but in vain until
now. He has served only few months
less one-half Of his sentence, which W.
believe was amply short enough II,
full, the fifteen years. He is still
young man, and considering his brutal
crime and the fact that the aged par
ents and family Of the murdered man
are still alive and the circumstances
of the crime are still so fresh in the
minds Of our old-timers, it seems
travesty upon justice and a direct slap
at this law and order loving county
that Sherm Wells should be pardoned
at this time instead of serving out his
sentence. which in itself was not an
adequate punishment.

The Histo. of Crime.
Seven years go last spring the re-
mains of Frank b. Carr, mangled in a
shocking manner, were found buried i'm
the rubbish of the barn situated on the
S. d. Covey premises, east side of town.
Later developments of the case showed
that the crime was committed about
six months prior to the finding of the
body, or just before freezing-up time
in the fall of 1902. The man was MUIR
dered near the midnight hour, and the
implement used to do the deed was a
stove leg Carr had been in the meat
market and cattle business for some
time prior to his end, and had con-
siderable sum Of money on his person
on the night he was murdered. He
had a wife and two children, and while
not exactly person of exemplary hab-
it's in all respects he had always sup
ported his family, and in addition had
an aged father and mother. After the
murder the body was buried in the
loose manure and straw in the said
barn. and evidently the murderer in
tended later on to remove the body and
give it burial in a safer place. But
the disappearance of Carr soon caused
comment and suspicion of foul play
grew apace. Sherm Wells was closely
watched, and soon his conscience must
have troubled him, for he departed for
eastern parts. His brother John shortly
afterwards met death by falling be-
tween two cars while attempting to
board a moving train. The relatives
of the dead man persisted in their ef-
forts to find him. and more than one
false clue was followed up. Finally
came the finding Of the body, due to
the tearing away OF the manure and
straw by poultry which were picking

The News has no personal enmity to-
wards this criminal, and had he COM
pleted the sentence which he was sent
to the penitentiary to serve. we would
say nothing, except perhaps that a
minimum of justice had been melted
out. AS the matter stands, however,
justice has not been had by this coun-
ty, and we propose to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth concerning the matter.
We first ask why did not the board
of pardons take steps to learn the real
sentiment in Sargent county concern
ing the crime and the inadequateness
of the punishment of Sherman Wells?
At least, the board might have con-
ferred at long range with our states
attorney or with our county commits
sioncrs. But 10 such conference was
ever had.
1t would appear that deeply laid.
mysterious plot has been going on in
the state during the midnight watches
of the past six months. 1t means that
certain individuals took advantage of
the noise and excitement of the politi-
ca campaigns of the year, to secretly
work for the release of the murderer
OF Frank B. Carr.
1t is even suspected that politics
entered the deal
Notice of the intention of the board
of pardons to commute tie said SEN
tence was never published in Sargent
county, and the entire proceedings of
said board relative to this matter have
been kept secret several months, in
fact until the fall election was over.
Why such secrecy?
The board of pardons is composed
Of the governor, attorney general, chief
supreme justice and two electors OF
the state appointed by the governor
To pardon a criminal of the type of q
murderer requires the unanimous vote
of the board of pardons. But the at
torney general Andrew Miller, is a
close friend OF Governor Burke; the
chief justice is likewise an intimate
and it seems hardly necessary to state
the position of the two appointees
Such a combination is hard to beat.

fine for everyday use and yet de-
light to the eye. A new idea is 10
weave the cover out of silk rags, cut
and sewn like those our grandmothers
used in making carpets. Use silks of
the college colors, if possible, Old
white silks may be dyed with any of
the prepared dyes to take any color.
Cut the rags in half-inch strips and
sew them firmly together. The loom
may be Of home manufacture. Make It
the exact size you desire, of two half
inch strips of wood, with holes bored
In the ends to clamp them together.
The curtain stretcher may be exam
ined for the idea. Strips of strong
cloth should be tackled closely on each
end strip This is to fasten the warp
to. A heavy cord crocheted with a very
close chain stitch is then fastened
across this cloth, stretching 1t very
tight. To make sure the woven fabric
will not sag, this chain may even be
sewn down with drm stitches. Then
with a heavy needle-a Irvine or burlap
needle such as upholsterers use will
be best--thread the warp back and
forth. For the warp it is well to use
strong Irvine, though the san silk, if
put in double, is good. Having fast
ened in your warp smoothly, thread
the needle with the silk rag and darn
it in and out fashioned over and
under darning stitch will do, though
this may be varied by the expert TAX
ing two wary threads at a time or
weaving so as to form diagonals. This
will work out to the intelligent weaver
as the practical test of the plan is
made. A smooth broad strip of wood
is woven in first and after each thread
is placed it is forced down smoothly,
but not tight enough to draw the pill
low out of shape. If designs are de-
sired they should be woven in before
the ground is put in. To make
Princeton pillow the yellow and black
| stripes may be woven in simply. For
| the other colleges the ground may be
of one solid color and borders woven
of the contrasting shades. Solid pill
lows may have the initials woven in
after the foundation is completed or
they may be embroidered if founda-
tion letter is used. A bit of sentiment
may be easily woven into the gift b.
| using some old party gown which
| marked some delightful date, for the
main part of the pillow, with the col
| lege colors for border.
