VALLEY CITY MURDER
TO PROVE INTERESTING

Valley City, N. D., July 29.-This
afternoon Olaf H. Anderson, the clerk
at the Hotel Windsor, who shot and
killed Robert Seeford, the chef at the
same hotel short time ago, was given
his preliminary hearing before Judge
Moe M. J. Englert appeared for the
accused and A. P. Paulson and D. R.
Richie for the state. After the hear:
ing Judge Moe bound the defendant
over to the district court without bail
and he was committed to Jail.
1t appeared from the testimony that
the men engaged in quarred over
the night clerk calling the chef at a
certain hour, and that the chef threat.
ened him, but the testimony of dish.
washer, Harry Gillhurt, showed that
he was armed with nothing worse than
a couple of potatoes.
The defendant testified that he was
threatened with a knife, but the de.
position of the murdered man before
he died and the testimony of the dish.
washer who witnessed the quarrel,
but did not see the shooting, tended to
show that Seeford was not armed with
anything more serious than couple
of potatoes.

Lightning DOES GREAT
DAMAGE near Medina

Medina, N. d., July 29.-Early Sat
urday morning there was a heavy
rain for couple of hours, accom-
panied by some hail. The govern
ment rain guage showed total fall
of 256 inches. There was also bad
lightning. A barn on the Porter &
Hume ranch near Gerber was struck
and burned, together with five head
of horses and a COW. Also harness,
bedding and some carpenter tools.
Loss 1000 with $3.50 insurance. The
farm is occupied by Mr.. King. Also
part frame and sod barn Of Sam
Thompson's, east of here, was struck
and burned. The loss was small.
The rain makes all of the crops look
entirely different and barring frost,
we will all have part of crop. Flax
especially, looks promising, but will
need all warm weather in August to
mature. Potatoes that have not been
ruined by the bugs will make fair
crop and late vegetables will make
good 1t is wonderful what a change
a few days will make in the pros
poets after a good rain.

Stone FOR new HOTEL
QUARRIED At linton

Linton Advocate: District Superin'
tendent Danford, formerly of Lynton,
and Rev. Taylor, both of Bismarck,
have been in the Gwyther country for
the past week looking after Methodist
interests in that locality. They or.
ganized an M. E. Sunday school and
received twenty-one members into the
church on Sunday. The new church
building is nearing completion. 1t
will be dedicated in September by
Rev. Danford.
Work on Patterson's new story
block at Bismarck is said to be pro-
crossing rapidly. The cement has al
ready been spread for the third floor
and we are informed that they ex.
pect to have the roof cover the entire
structure by the first of September.
Mr.. Patterson is confident that the
new hotel will easily be made ready
for occupancy by the first of next jan
uary. The stone used for the build
ing is of Linton product, and has fur
nisEed employment for some of our
people for some time hauling rock
from the stone quarry to the N. P.
track for shipment. The people of
the Capital City may point with pride
to this building when it is completed
as there is nothing like it in the en-
rire state.

CONDITIONS ARE LOOKING
BETTER AROUND BRAODOCk

Braddock News: Within the past
week it has been learned that the
Braddock district contains many
pieces of wheat which three weeks
ago were supposed to be ruined, but
which will yield from two o'six BUSH
els per acre, and there are quite a
number of the latter.
Well worked fields are in all in
stances making a fair showing, while
on those poorly farmed there there
is but little or nothing.
The few showers and cool weather
of late have been of material benefit
and especially to durum wheat which
is making better showing than the
hard varieties. The grain is head
ing out rather close to the ground
but the heads are we'll filled and the
Kernels are large and plump.
Last week E. E. Clarke sold four
head of three year old steers and FIVE
head OF two year old ones at his
farm. just west of Braddock at $50 a
head, and two cows at $3.50 each.
At the same time E. F. Savage sold
thirteen head Of steers ut four cents
on foot. This year In particular the
money received from the sale Of cattle
can be very conveniently used and

LITTLE GIRL IS
DRAGGED BY HORSE

Mayville, N. D., July 29.-Frances,
the 12-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. w. Warren, was the victim
of a bad accident. She was riding
horseback on pony and just as she
approached the gateway into the house
yard at the farm the Warren automo-
bile was coming out. The pony be-
came frightened, reared and bolted,
throwing the little girl out of the sad.
die. In falling one of her feet got
caught in the stirrup and while the
horse dashed for the barn she was
dragged by the foot, head down,
through the yard to the barn, dis.
lance of a hundred feet or over. Very
fortunately a man happened to come
out of the barn just in time to stop
the animal as it was entering the door,
way of the stable, else the child would
probably have been killed, as there is
a raised place at the doorway with
which she would have come in con-
tact. AS it was, she was unconscious
when rescued and badly bruised about
the shoulder, besides being severely
shaken up.

COTEAU WOULD Be
A COUNTY SEAT

Coteau, N. D., July 29.-Coteau, on
the Berthold- Crosby branch of the
Great Northern, and nearer the center
of Burke county than any other city
in the county, had rousing meeting
of the town and county people in the
opera house this week and appointed
committees and subcommittee, and
formally launched their boom for the
county seat. Coteau, as citizens claim
it, is the natural, logical and most
convenient point for a territory ex-
tending fifteen miles south, twenty
miles west and many miles north and
east, and the formal and decided step
toward organizing it's forces to win
the county seat this fall created a
widespread enthusiasm.

LINTON MERCHANTS
BUYING bad EGGS

Linton, n. D., July 29.-Merchants
and housekeepers OF Linton have
much trouble Of late by having spoil.
ed eggs brought in from the country
and foisted upon them. Not long ago
a woman took eggs to a Linton store
and wanted to sell them to the mer-
chant. He told her he did not think
they we're good. and the breaking Of
one after another to the extent Of
more than q half dozen showed that
he was correct The woman wanted
the merchant to pay for the spoiled
eggs that had been broken. saying
that she could have sold them at
some other store. Egg buyers in this
town are getting tired Of buying eggs
only to find that large proportion
of them are spoiled, and are probably
the remains Of settings" that did
not hatch, and which have been kept
and gradually worked off with a pro-
portion of fresh eggs. The law pro-
vides severe punishment for anyone
selling impure food.
The Rev. l.. A. Lovelace preached
in the Dale neighborhood last Sunday.
He reports that the crops are being
cut down there, and that some of the
wheat that was thought to be hard
ly worth cutting. yields from four to
eight bushels to the acre.
