asked them if it would be all right to
bury it in the yard. They said it
would. None of us thought it was
necessary to bring the body down to
the Hamilton cemetery. So selected
a green spot near the house and not
far from the main road, one that
expected to fence and not disturb.
The box containing the body was
buried in broad daylight, about 8
O'Clock in the NOR ming, while men
were passing to work, and Stella Grant
helped bury it.
The grave was about two and one
half feet deep and lined with rocks.
put the rocks there to keep the goph
ers from gnawing at the coffin. There
are thousands of them on the place.
Stella helped pick the rocks. Dirt was
filled in over the rocks, forming a
little mound. The box was made of
smooth, new weatherboards.
"The baby was fully dressed before
burial, and the body was wrapped
snugly in blanket. My wife had lots
of clothes for the baby.
''It has been said that when Mrs
Likens came back to our place Friday
morning l wouldn't let her see the
baby. The child was buried before
she returned and she didn't ask to see
it. She knew of it's death before l
saw her.
Ibid you ask if the baby was de-
formed?" queried the reporter.
81 did. I had never seen a new
baby before, and its feet seemed out of
proportion. I said also that the baby
looked as if it would not live very
long. 1t breathed irregularly, and
every minute or so seemed to have
commissions, as if it's breath came
hard We were all worried, l the
same as the rest"
did you warn the Warren boy not
to tell Mr.. and Mrs. Downing of the
birth of the ch1ld?" White was asked
"The doctor had told us 10 get Mrs
Downing or some other woman to stay
with my wife. We talked it over, and
1 told the boy it wasn't necessary to
tell Mr.. and Mrs. Downing just yet,
because Mrs. Likens would do. We
knew that they were bound to know,
whether the baby lived or died"
"What was the first you knew of the
death of the baby?" asked the re-
porter.

alarmed and asked what was the mat

ILLUMINATED AUTOMOBILES
Seen IN GAY PARADE

About fifteen local automobiles
formed an illuminated night parade
Saturday evening. The cars sped
along the streets at rapid pace and
made a gay procession. Skyroc kets
and Roman candles were fired BY the
occupants of the machines, while red
fire torches were held aloft.
The parade was the outgrowth of
the night automobile review adver-
tised for July 4, and prevented by
rain, and was carried out under the
direction of the Fourth of July parade
committee.

Definite word that Dillon would
come was received by Manager Dick
yesterday from Manager Farnsworth tn
of the Dillon team. Speculation was
current as to whether the Beayerhcad
cracks would come, many local fans
believing they had an attack of frigid
pedals.
Gebeau and Heilmau will both be
given chance on the slab. Williams
juries received in the games at Dillon,
will be in the game. The Hamilton
lineup will be the same as in the Dill
Ion contests

CIRCUMSTANCES SURF
DEATH OF BABE EXPLAINED
CHILD BURIED IN DAYLIGHT
In Statement Given This Paper Young
Man Tells of First knowledge
of Infants Death.

James H. White of the First Ma
tional bank of Geneseo, ILL.,, arrived
in Hamilton Friday to aid his brother,
Walter White, who is con Aimed in the
county Jail on charge of first degree
murder. Mr.. White, accompanied by
his wife, left for Montana Immediately
upon receipt of Intelligence that his
brother was in trouble.
Mr.. White, an elder brother of the
young man charged with crime, is
a promi ent Illinois banker. He was
at one time an attache of the War de-
partment IN Washington, D. C. He
came to the Bitter Root two years ago
and purchased two hundred acres of
land at Wards Cove. The West and
its ways appealed to his brother Wal
ter, and the young man. who is a me-
chanic, came out to manage the farm.
For time Walter worked as chauffeur
and then took up the active duties Of
running the ranch"
Since the arrest of White much gos-
sip has passed current on the streets
that did not appear as evidence at the
coroner's inquest. Much of this is
groundless. A report that White pro-
vided nc medical attendance for his
wife before the accouchement, while
she ran wildly about the woods near
their home, has been traced and found
to have no basis in fact.
A reporter for this newspaper talked
with White Monday at the county Jail.
The prisoner was asked If there was
anything mysterious about the burial
of the babe, and why the child was
buried where u was.

There are more old people here than

HEAD OF ALL THE EAGLES IN THE

GUEST OF THE LOCAL AER|E
Delivers Address at Opera House and
Enjoys Fishing Trip to Medicine
Springs.

President Frank E. Herring of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles addressed
the members AID friends of Ravalli
aerie at the opera house Sunday after
noon at O'Clock. Judge H. L. Myers
of the district court introduced the
speaker. The Hamilton band was in
attendance and good crowd was
present.
The principles of fraternalism as
exemplihed by the Eagles was the sub
ject of Mr.. Hering's talk. He explained
that the order is d beneficial one as
opposed to the benevolent, and that
the precepts it teaches, if lived up to,
will make for better living and deal
ing among men.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles is
II years DID," said Mr.. Herring. Dur
ing the short period of our existence
we have gathered 100000 members to
our standard. The growth of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles is the most
remarka BILE incident in the history of
fraterralism. No other organization
can point to such record as has been
carved by the F. o. E. We believe
that the growth of our organization is
the direct result of our principles and
precepts and Of a close adherence to
our ideals. Certainly, an organiza-
ton founded upon d weak base could
not experience so remarkable rise. ;"

ELDRIDGE HAD A
GLORIOUS FOURTH

Eldridge, N. D.. July 6-This little
burg had a glorious Fourth. 1t was
nothing new, for the past years have
seen the country people raced this way
on the day we celebrate"
The new Eldridge band made their
initial appearance and looked fine In
their olive green uniforms. Leader
Filby is to be congratulated on the
progress the boys have made since he
commenced drilling them. The town is
proud of it's band.
The exercises were held in the grove
In the center of the town, where a
speakers stand and seats had been
erected Hon. Richard Pendray was
chairman of the day. A chorus of If
teen young people sang the patriotic
and war songs which the day suggests
An address of welcome was extended to
the 500 visitors by the pastor, c. H.
Phillips, who also offered prayer.
The principal address of the day was
given by G. 8. Buck of Jamestown and
1t was full of patriotism, sense and
good advice. He regretted that our
natal day should be suffering such a
black mark as the disgraceful crowd in
Nevada was putting upon it today. He
declared the prohibition law one of the
best on our statute books and believed
every candidate who asked the public
franchise owed 1t to the people to state
clearly his attitude toward the enforce
ment of that law. He asserted that
our public school system was the best
in the world, but needed the addition

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY
G. n. Langdon of Crosby Charged With
Forging Name of n. n. Langden
to Money Order.

Ambrose Newsman: About a year
ago letter arrived at the Ambrose
postotfice addressed to H. H. Langdon,
but was by mistake delivered to C. H.
Langdon. The letter contained a mon
ey order for $3.50, and it seems C. H.
Langdon collected the money on the
order by endorsing the name of H. H.
Langdon thereon and turning it over
to one johnson of Crosby, who cashed
1t and later received the money from
the postoffice at this place. Meanwhile
a duplicate had been issued to H. H.
Langdon and paid by the local office
AS soon as Postmaster McKoane
learned that the original had been
cashed he called Inspector Postal's at
tention to the matter and together they
set about to investigate the affair and
finally located G. H. Langdon as the
man who was responsible for the
crime. The culprit was found and
when confronted with the charges,
confessed that he had received the let
ter and cashed the order knowing that
the same did not belong to him. He
returned the money and no warrant
was sworn out at that time, but the
matter was presented to the depart
ment at Washington. -'-.-...
Last Tuesday deputy u. S. mar
shall came up from Crosby with Lang
don, who was arraigned before II. s.
Commissioner Grace and bound over
to the U. s. district court He was

BUTTER CONTESTS
At STATE FAIR
STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONER
FLINT TELLS ABOUT CON-
TESTS AND HOW TO SEND
BUTTER.

Bismarck, n. D., July 5.-To The
Forum: The contests among the farm
dairy buttermakers held in connection
with the fairs at Grand Forks and
Fargo have become quite interesting
and especially so to those who have
entered samples in competition. For
keen interest in any contest in which
they enter, and faith in their ability
to make good goods, the ladies lead
the creamery men by a safe margin.
! During the years the writer has been
superintendent Of the dairy products
division Of these fairs there have been
many demonstrations Of the fact that
there are good buttermakers on the
farms OF North Dakota and northern
Minnesota and they have received
! proof Of IL on score cards and in
premium checks. These entries have
come in from various distances, and
where the jars were we'll wrapped in
several thicknesses of paper or packed
in box or tub and cooled before ship
Iping, it has usually reached the fair
refrigerator in excellent condition.
Without these precautions the butter
is likely to become heated and score
lower than it otherwise would.
The required amount for either fair
lis five or more pounds. For shipment
the jar or tub Is much better than
prints and, as the express charges are
more on heavier packages, the mini
mum weight answers the purpose best
Uniformity in packages gives a more
pleasing appearance to the exhibit, so
let all who can use the low down five
pound jar When packages are heap
ed up, the butter is likely to be crush
ed over the sides, giving a displeasing
appearance and possibly cut on the
score. If not filled level full they do
not look their best
When ready for shipment the pack
age should have the name and address
Of the exhibitor attached as a means
Of identification for the superintend- |
ent. When judging a sample is only
known by it's number For the Grand |
Forks Fair butter should be shipped so |
1t will reach there not later than Mon |
day. July 18th. Apply to Secretary NJ. |
c. Bachelor, Grand Forks, for entry /
blanks and mark butter to him when |
shipping.
For the North Dakota state fair |
ship to Sec. ]. E. Finforck, Fargo, so !
1t will reach there by Monday July rs. !
At the close of both fairs the but
ter will be sold to the best advantage |
possible and the returns sent to the ex-
hibitors. Liberal premiums are offer
ed by both fairs and these will be di-
vided pro rata as in former years &C.
cording to the score. For fuller par
ticulars see the premium lists or ap-
ply to the undersigned who will act
as superintendent at both fairs. Joel
G. Winkjer, federal dairy assistant
will again act as judge.
At each Of these big fairs we ought |
to have a sample of butter from every |
farm in North Dakota and northern !
Minnesota where 1t is made to supply |
special customers.

prairie near the Edger home. He
had been wandering around for
nearly three weeks in a demented

and was there only short time
when he left without warning and

TWO SERIOUS n. D.
4TH ACCIDENTS
JAMESTOWN MAN HAS LEG LA.
cERATED-WoMAN AT cRYs-
tai SPRINGS BADLY
BURNED.

jamestown, N. D., July 6.--Phillip
Turtlebone of jamestown was today
taken to the hospital, suffering from
a severe burn on the leg caused by
the explosion of a" blank cartridge fired
playfully at him by friend.
This is the first of the Fourth of
July casualties to be reported. The
blank cartridge tore a large piece of
flesh from the leg of Turtlebone and
inflicted a wound an inch deep and
lacerated the flesh. Amputation may
be necessary. If no other danger is
present the doctors fear blood poison
ing.
Anne Crew Of Crystal Springs was
burned about the legs and hips by
the explosion of a giant cracker
thrown at her by a small boy to
brighten her. The firecracker ignited
her clothing which inflicted serious
burns before the flames were con-
trolled. Particulars of the accident
cannot be obtained and the serious
ness of the injury is not known.
