Speculation as to Who Will
Head School Board,
THREE NAMES MENTIONED
Unless Phillips lie Candidate, Race
For President viii be Between
Harrison and BIvIns--Col. Huffman
May Hold THE Key"

There was much speculation yes
terday as TO who will be elected
president of the board OF school
trustees when that body perfects its
annual reorganization at the next
meeting.
Fred c. Rivins, who is filing out
the unexpired term of w. Il. Puckett,
whose term of office as a trustee ex-
pired on June 80. is being prominent
ly mentioned as candidate for the
presidency and his friends will make
o strenuous fight to put him in Of
flee. The name of J. =. Harrison also
IL being mentioned for the ot'ce and
it Is said that at least three OF the
pine trustees will vote for him.
There was some talk yesterday OF
q dark horse" entering the race.
The dark horse" alluded TO Is Edwin
Phillips, who was elected to the board
by the council last month. Mr.. Phil
lips could not be seen yesterday, but
a close friend of his said that he
very probably would not accept the
Office.
IL MIR. Phillips will not stand for
the presidency, the race will be left
TO Messrs. Bivins and Harrison and
a spirited contest can be expected.
Messrs. Bachelor. Phillips and Cos
by, il is said. will stand behind Mi.
Harrison and Messrs. Christie, LEM
and Sutton are said 10 be for Mr..
Bivins. This leaves the deciding
vote with Col. L. w. Huffman and
thus far the colonel has not pledged
himself. Some say that he will vote
for Mr.. Harrison and others claim
that he will support Mr.. Bivins.
Clerk w. L. Tabb has no opposition
and will be reelected for about the
eighth time. The standing committees
will be named by the new president
al the close OF the August meeting.

SINK GAS WELL
TO SEA Level
DRILLS IN WESTHoPE DISTRICT
EXPECT TO REACH SEA
LEVEL TODAY OR TO-
MORROW.

Minot n, D., July Some time
today or tomorrow the drills of the
local gas company, the first company
in the state of North Dakota to sink
a well will reach the distance Of 1000
feet which will bring 1t to sea level
in the gas fields near Westhope, where
shallow gas has been found, and upon
the development attendant will depend
the future of the natural gas fields
H. this section of the state.
Wherever drills have gone to sea
level between MooseJaw and Texas in
the gas belt natural gas wells have
been discovered in sufficient quantities
to make it a paying business invest
ment. This is true always in a coun-
try where shallow gas Is found
Natural gas is now in use in West
hope for Illuminating and other pur-
poses, but the pressure is not suffici-
ent to warrant it's extensive develop
ment.
The company in its development
work has been going on the theory
that if the drills were sunk to sea
level, body OF gas would be found
that would have ample pressure and
unlimited supply, and If such body
of gas is discovered, the future of the
gas fields in Ward county is assured.
The company's drills have been
working for some time. The operator
in charge expected to reach the point
of sea level today and the meeting
of the board of directors tonight will
decide what further development
development work Is to be done, in the
event either of the drills developinr
gas leads or failing to develop them.
There is a good deal of local in
terest in the outcome. Natural gas
would mean a great deal to all this
section. If good wells are found at
Westhope it is said that it is reason
able to believe that drills can be put
down to sea level 10 miles north OF
Minot and gas piped into this city
that would be sufficient for all do
nestle and commercial heating and ilf
Illuminating purposes.
That there is shallow natural gas

Farmer With SHOT
GUN STOPS WORK

Pretty Rock, Morton County, Senti-
mel: Even railroad grading is not all
monotony. Occasionally some farmer
performs vaudeville stunt that Is
quite diverting Just at present there
is a performance by Fred, Bauer, his
wife and several neighbors. The
scene is laid on the Milwaukee grade
southwest of Elm postoffice They are
trying to prevent the Milwaukee from
building it's survey through Mr.
Bauer's land. He has three forties
that lie side by side, and this survey
runs through the full length of them
The company has offered damages in
the sum of 1865, but it was not ac-
cepted, and the Bauers are putting
up a stubborn fight, even threatening
to shoot anyone who shall again cut
the wires. ... ....
Already there have been several
acts in this interesting rural drama
Behold the scene! A deputy sheriff
under orders of the United States dis
trict court in the lead of the grad
ing teams, cuts the wire. Mr.. Bauer
plants himself squarely in front of
the first team. The officer crowds
him gently to one side. Then Mrs
Bauer with her baby in her arms
jumps in front of the team, and is
herself gently pushed aside, and the
work of grading proceeds.
A few days later Mr.. Bauer's father
returned from Bismarck, where he
had retained attorneys and in the
middle of the night the wagons and
scrapers were hauled out and the
fence put up again. And when Dep
uty SheriffetSchultz appeared next
morning he was confronted by six
irate persons who threatened to shoot
him if he again cut the wires. Ac-
cordingly he sent for warrants, and
1t is likely that before the end OF
the week some arrests will be made
The resistance of Bauer is based on a
misconception. He claims that the
land is absolutely his own, and that
not even the government can take ii
from him except at his own price. AS
a matter of fact, no one can resist
the progress of a railroad through his
land. It is not desirable that he
should. No man may block an enter
prise that is of benefit to the whole
community.
The land taken up by the Milwau-
kee is something over nine acres. Mr.
Bauer is thus offered fully 500 an
acre for his land. But of course the
farm is cut up and consequently con-
siderably damaged.

two men ARE KILLED
One Miles City Man Loses Life in Ac.
cident and Another Under Pc
cuIiar Circumstances.

Miles City, Mont, July THE bod
les Of James Christoff, Milwaukee
track walker, and Carl Huse, a ranch
hand from Brandenberg, occupied the
morgue this, morning. Christoff's
skull is fractured near the base, and
$50 and a gold watch were missing
and a small revolver lay beside the
body, which was found between Saugus
and Boneffeld stations by a train crew
.east-bound.
He started on his beat from Saugus
to Boneffeld Sunday at p. m, and it
is thought he may have been murder
ed and the body placed where the train
would. hit 1t. He was % years old.
Carl Huse 81 years old, was riding a
horse rake Sunday. He had a shot
gun with him and with this shot a
couple of prairie chickens. The horses
started and while Huse was trying to
control them the gun went off again.
Pieces Of wire, his watch and several
shot were picked out of his liver in
the post mortem. A sister living in
New Hampshire ordered the remains
shipped there.

TELLS HOW TO
sleep OUTDOORS
HAND BOOK OF INFORMATION
FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE TO
SLEEP OUT OF DOORS AT THEIR
OWN HOME ISSUED BY NATION
AL TUBERCULOSIS ASSN.

Mrs. H. L. Bolley, vice president of
the North Dakota Anti tuberculosis
association states that the National as
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis is sending PAM
phlet today to all its representatives
in different parts of the United States.
Directions for Living in the Open Air
is the title of the pamphlet.
The pamphlet is meant to be a hand
book of information for anybody who
desires to sleep out Of doors in his
own home. 1t emphasizes the fact that
outdoor sleeping is as desirable for the
well as for sick. The booklet will be
sent free of charge to anyone apply
ing for it at the headquarters Of the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis In New
York, or to the secretary af any local
or state anti-tuberculosis association.
Some of the subjects of which the
pamphlet treats are, how to take the
opens air treatment in a tenement
house; how to build small shack or
cabin on "a fiat roof in the city; how
to make one comfortable while sleep
ing outdoors either in hot or cold
weather; how to arrange a porch on a
country house; and how to build a
cheap porch; the construction of tents
and tent houses; the kinds of beds and
bedding to use in outdoor sleeping, and
various other topics. The book is well
illustrated and attractively prepared.
The object Of the book is to suggest
particularly to consumptives who can
not ecure admission to a sanatorium
how they can be treated at home under
the direction of physician. In view
of the fact that there are less than
$4,000 hospital beds in the United
States for consumptives and fully 3O0,-
600 who should be In hospitals. the Ma
tional association urges that more at
tention be paid to sleeping in properly
provided places at home, and that in
every case the best be made OF the
patients environment.
