border of grass and the garden proper
about 150x50 feet lies inside this bor-
der. The garden is divided into eighty
small plats each about 41Sx11 feet,
Each plat represents a child's garden.
Flowers and Varieties.
Owing to the public location Of the
garden it is devoted exclusively to
flowers. Each child is given ABOUT ten
varieties which include bulbs, plants,
and seeds, thus giving him experience
with the three classes of plants. The
flowers are arranged in the gardens in
such a way as to give good color eff
fects and at the same time give each
child his ten varieties. In the outer
gardens the flowers run in continuous
rows around the garden, thus giving
the effect of a floral picture frame with
the balance of the garden for the pic
ture. The exact center of the garden
contains the Northern Pacific trade
mark in color. Common hardy varie-
ties of ANIMALS and those of dwarf
growth are given preference. Pansies,
nasturtiums, larkspur, gladioli, pinks,
California popies, portulaca, sweet

es were called to the stand this morn
ing, one a 17-year- old boy by the
name of Oscar Henderson, who is
stranger In the city and came from
Menahea, MINI. Henderson came to
Fargo upon the advise of a friend,
Helmer F'roster, who works in a Moor
head saloon, and who has been quite
attentive to the Tabb girl since she
came here. Young Henderson stated
that Froster knew where the young
woman was stopping and sent his
friend over to get her and take her
to other lodgings. When he arrived
at the Jap's restaurant, he was invited
inside by the negro then in charge,
who is known by the name of Blue
Jay" and taken no stairs to the apart
ments of Mrs. Connelley, where the
lad spent the night in company with
the owner of the rooms, who he said
had robbed him OF his purse. This
evidence was substantiated by the tes-
timony of the Tabb girl.
May Ford, the paramour Of the Jap,
who disappeared at the time of the
first trial, returned yesterday and be-
gan to stir things up in general. The
bondsmen of Fujita became suspicious
and asked to be released from the
$1,000 bond fixed by the court at the
Jap's recent hearing, when he was
bound over to the district court AS
a consequence the golden toothed
oriental was compelled to return to
jail last night.

alyssum, lobelia, etc., are the principal
varieties.
Attendance.
The garden is laid out, organized,
and planted before school is out. After
the close Of school during the long va
cation, the children meet regularly one
forenoon a week for gardening day.
In the two previous years they met
Saturday forenoon at ten. In 1909, out
OF the 116 gardeners, three had abso-
lutely perfect attendance from May to
October and thirty or more missed but
one Saturday and that one owing to an
extremely heavy storm at the time of
assembling. Many children come every
day to attend to their gardens and
most of them several times week but
the only time attendance is recorded
is for the gardening day. During the
absence of Mr., Crane during the sum-
mer vacation, Mrs. A. M Burt, presi-
dent of the Women's Civic Improve
ment league, takes charge of the gar
den and children on gardening day.

FATHER FRANCIS
VICTIM OF CRAMPS
DEVILS LAKE JOURNAL GIVES DE-
TAILS OF THE SAD DROWNING
ACCIDENT I'M DEVILS LAKE
BODY WAS FOUND YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.

The Devils Lake Journal of last even
ing has the following account of the
sad drowning accident that occurred
there Wednesday night:
Father Francis, who came to Devils
Lake week ago from Richardton to
take the place Of Father John, who
has gone to Europe on a vacation, was
drowned in Devils Lake last evening
between $3.50 and $3.50 o'clock, near
the Monastery south Of the city.
1t was about 6 o'clock in the evening
when Father Francis announced that
he was going to the lake to go in
bathing. There is a fine beach near
the Monastery which Is used consid-
ably. About $3.50 a man who Is in
the employ OF Mike Mandy went to the
beach, and seeing a mans clothes ly-
ing on a rock on the lake shore and
no man in sight, became alarmed, and
communicated at once with the people
a. the Monastery. A search was insti-
tuted, but as night was coming on 1t
was difficult to do effective work, Sher-
If Bedford and Coroner Gilbertson
went out with a party from Devils
Lake, and a search was kept up all
night. About three O'Clock this morn
ing boats were procured from the
| Chautauqua for the purpose Of better
carrying on the work.
| At Q O'Clock this forenoon Sheriff
Belford started for the scene Of the
drowning again with rakes and other
appliances for dragging the lake, and
large force of men, among whom
are a number Of expert divers and
swimmers, who are now at work en-
deavoring to recover the body.
1t is presumed that Father Francis
who is said to have been a good swim
mer, was taken with cramps, and be-
| ing alone at the time, made hope
| less struggle until he became exhaust
! ed, resulting in drowning. An inves-
| tigation shows that for some distance
| from the shore the water is shallow,
but there is an abrupt drop-off furth-
err out The presumption is that the
unfortunate man swan out some dis
lance in deep water, for If he had been
drowned near the shore line his body
could easily have been recovered, the
water being clear and IL possible to

Superintendent of jamestown Schools,
Much of the success of the project is
due to her help and that of her hus-
band who is superintendent of the rail-
road.
/ Gardeners.
The gardeners consist of volunteers
from the third to seventh grades of
the public schools. They are all resi-
dents Of the town who are in town
during the summer vacation.
Prizes.
The merchants of the town show
their interest in the enterprise by do
mating list of small prizes to be given
to the gardeners who show the most
faithfulness, industry, and best results.
These prizes are awarded by a COM
mittee of citizens in the month of Au-
gust and later publicly given to the
children at mass meeting in the fall.
Cooperation.
The garden has been splendid ex-
ample of cooperation. Superintend-
ent Crane organizes the garden, selects
the flowers, lays the plats and over
| sees the planting and starting of the
garden. The railroad leases the plot of
ground free of charge and fences 1T,
The city of jamestown furnishes water
for irrigating free of charge. The La
dies Civic Improvement league fur
nishes the funds for purchasing the
seeds and bulbs. The board Of educa-
| ton furnish a janitor to attend to the
fnrf a.
chants furnish a list of prizes and the
| newspapers have been ready and will
| Ing to publish notices during the va
| cation. The children enter into the
spirit of the enterprise and cooperate
with each other and with those in
charge in very loyal pleasing way
and there are practically no cases of
rowdyism and no difficulty at all in
managing the gardeners even with so
! of 100 of them out at once and only
| one TO take charge.
NaEue of the Garden.
The enterprise has been valuable
| in many ways. First 1T cleared an un-
slightly place In the center of town and
made 1t very attractive. Second, 1t
has served as an object lesson In CO.
| operation and an incentive to civic
improvement jamestown Is one of
the cleanest towns in the state and
this In great part is due to the efforts
Of the Ladies Civic Improvement
league during the past few years, and
to the civic pride which they and such
enterprises as our garden have awak-
ened. The object lesson Of co-opera-
tion has been splendid help to the en-
tire town.
The best value, however, has been
in the effect upon the children. They
learn that there Is pleasure in doing
something useful They learn to love
he flowers and learn how to care for
them. The school has sold flower and
vegetable seeds for home gardens for
Two years and the sale has increased

expected care and consideration dur.
ing her illness. She asserts that both
Mr.. and Mrs. ConnelIey were in league
with the Jap in the operation of the
hotel and restaurant, and that Mrs.
Connelley sublet rooms from Fujita
which she in turn rented for immoral
purposes.
Mrs. Connelley was arrested late
yesterday afternoon and brought into
court this morning. During the Fujita
trial she had been a constant attend
ant and appeared in a big black pic
.ture hat we'll covered with red plumes,
and had attracted considerable atten-
ton by her unaSsuming and seeming
ly embarrassed behavior while in the
courtroom.
This morning. she was there wear.
ing the same hat and appeared just
as much embarrassed as on her prev
ious appearance in court, though on
this occasion she was one of the prin-
cipals Of the case and facing a serious
charge. Her husband accompanied
her and both denied the allegations
made against them. Their story is
that the Tabb girl came to them when
sick and needed care and they called
the city physician who, on account of
the nature of the young woman's
trouble declined to take the case. Mrs.
Connelley refutes the charges that
she is renting rooms for immoral pur-
poses and declares that no one has
ever occupied her rooms aside from
the Tabb girl.
Two other very interesting witness.

Supt A. G. Crane of the jamestown
schools gained a national reputation
on his school garden. He was awarded
first prize in a list of 1900 competitors.
The cut of this garden has appeared
in many of the eastern publications
and has resulted in wide advertisement
for jamestown and the state.
Superintendent Crane tells of the
methods adopted by his pupils. under
his direction, in the following: .
The garden has been in operation
now for its third year, First year,
1908, seventy-five pupils took part;
1909 there were two gardens and 116
pupils took part, Owing to the incon-
venience Of the management Of the
two gardens one of them was aban-
doned in 1910 and the larger garden
maintained with eighty gardeners.
Plats and Arrangements.
The garden is about 1870 by so feet,
situated alongside the Northern Pacific
depot and directly in the center of
town, fronting as 1t does upon the
Main street of town and the two big
hotels. Inside the fence is a 16-foot

Father Francis was ordained as a
Catholic priest about three years ago,
and until he came to this city a week
ago, was stationed at Richardton, this
state. He came here for the purpose
Of taking Father Johns place at the
monastery while he was taking a vaca-
tion in Europe.
The deceasd was about 30 years of
age.
This afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, just
as a chain Of twenty-five men had been
formed to drag the lake, signal came
from a row-boat a quarter OF a mile
from shore, saying that the body had
been found. Father Augustine was in
charge Of the boat, accompanied by
his brother and two ather men.
The body Of Father Francis indicates
that he was taken with cramps, which
was the cause of drowning.
