HIGHWAY ROBBER
IS PARDONED
MIKE RYAN, SENT UP FOR TEN
YEARS FROM sTUTsMAN
.. COUNTY, NOW GOES
FREE.

jamestown, N. d. Aug. 5.-Mike
Ryan, who was serving a ten-year SEN
tence in the state pen1tentiary for a
highway robbery committed in Suits.
man county in 1905, has been pardoned
upon the recommendation of States
Attorney Thorp and Judge Burke. ~
Regularly for the past three years
Ryan has presented an application
for pardon to the board, but in each
instance the states attorney has re-
fused to recommend the same. But
after a careful investigation. of his
prison record, which was found to be
practically perfect and upon consider
alton that he obtain a permanent lob
and report frequently to the states at
torney, his pardon was recommended
and Ryan is a free man.
His monthly letter to Mr.. Thorn
shows that he is working at his trade
boiler making, in Duluth, and is saw
ing money. The affection that threat
ened him with blindness has disan-
peared since his release. From the
reports received from the chaplain of
the penitentiary, and Mikes personal
assurances, it is believed that his re-
form Is complete, and that he has been
brought to the realization that high
way robbery has clammy climax, and
that the square deal, and the simple
life are good company--to- tie to.

mrs. THOMPSON'S"
CAREER Is ENDED
FAMOUS CHARACTER AT BIS
MARCK UNDER BAN OF
LAW-RAID MADE ON
ALLEGED BLIND
PIG.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 5.-The career
of MRS. Thompson" wife of one Muck.
elby, as a violator of the prohibition
law in Bismarck, has probably come
to an end.
Deputy Sheriff Barnes and Patrol
man Martineson made a raid on her
place in the Jungles and secured over
fifty bottles of whisky and a case of
beer.
The officers state that warrant will
be sworn out for the woman's arrest
and that she will have to stand trial,
and that they have evidence enough
to send her over the road for a dozen
years. Mrs. Thompson has been a per-
sistent violator of the law and her
place has been raided number of
times but she has not been placed
under arrest, but lately she has been
haunting the officers with the threat
that they did not dare to arrest her.
She has one child, little girl, and
this is one of the reasons why she
has not been placed under arrest the
hope being held that they could bother
her enough so she would take her
departure from the city and save the
cost of trial.
The police department and the sher-
ifs officers have made the statement
that the war on pigs would be waged
harder in the future than 1t has been
even in the past, and that it will be
well for the violators Of the prohibi-
ton law to seek other fields of en-
deayor.

a.. NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST :.
MARMATH REPORTS
REALLY GOOD CROP.

Marmath, N. D., Aug. 5.-Harvest is
on In full blast and from all around
Marmath come reports of prospects
of nearly full crop. Paul Sonsnala,
west of town, has cut all his grain
except his fax, and sayE that from
all appearances he will have a bum
per yield. He claims that his wheat
is even better than his last years
crop. The Kukowskis and other farm
ers south Of town are in the midst of
wheat harvest and all report far better
prospects than were shown before the
grain ripened. East of town the
wheat Is mostly cut and promises an
average yield. Frank Willis says
they have cut all of their wheat one
hundred and ninety acres and 1t is his
belief that 1t will average fully twenty
bushels per acre. g. H. Suit, who
raised bumper crop on a small tract
just east Of town last year, has cut
and shocked this years crop, which
he says will equal or exceed the yield
Of last year Conditions have inn
proved greatly since the hot spell. s.
z. Crane, the sage of Sunny Slope, is
in the city today and reports harvest
on In earnest in his locality with a
prospect of wheat yield Of about
fifteen bushels per acre. L. M. Ug-
land, who is out looking after the
taking off OF his crop south of town.
reports a good show for an average
wheat yield of seventeen to twenty
bushels per acre.

BEET RAISING
= HAS Big FUTURE
WILLIsTON DISTRICTS PROS
PEcTs ARE OF THE VERY
BRIGHTEST AT
~ PRESENT.

Williston, N. D., Aug. 5.--Williston
as the center of one of the greatest
sugar beet districts in the United
States is the hope Of the local bust
ness men and as a result of the won
derful success that farmers have al
ready met with in the raising of these
beets, a considerable increase in the
acreage will doubtless be sown next
season. Just now those interested in
the proposition are engaged in urg-
ing on the farmers the advisability
VI raising the beets, pointing to the
success attained by others as their
argument in favor of the plan.
On the North Dakota Experimental
farm that Is located near Williston,
sugar beets were the subject Of very
favorable comment by a quartet of
government officials engaged in MAX
ing a tour Of the northwestern sta
tions for the purpose of determining
what work was being done. These
men were c. c. Schofield, e. C. Chill
colt, H. D. King and s. l.. Warner,
all connected with the department of
agriculture. ..-.
Williams county soil, they declared,
was remarkably well adapted to the
raising Of the sugar beets. In addi-
ton thereto, the beets raised already
have proved to be of the very finest
quality and there appears to be no
reason why every farmer in the en-
tire district should not be successful
in growing them.
E. Schollander, in charge Of the
state experimental station here. the
same being operated under the direc-
ton Of the state agricultural college,
is very optimistic over the future of
the beet industry and believes that
when the farmers in this section
come to the point where they will
raise beets, that they will find them
selves bettered financially by so do
ing. He is making a personal can

KENMARE BOY

CONRAD DAHL SENTENCED TO
FOUR YEARS AFTER CON.
Tossing ARSON.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 5.-Conrad Dahl
the young Kenmare boy, pleaded guilty
to arson in district court this morning
and was sentenced to four years in the
state penitentiary.
Dahl made confession before the
court, telling of the facts which led
up to the destruction of the Farmers
elevator and the loss of $50, 900 worth
Of property.
Though admitting his crime, Dahl
was somewhat inclined to lay part
of the blame on Hanson, who was i'm
plicated with him and who received
a sentence of one year. Dahl claims
that the idea was suggested by Han
son, but that he did not have nerve
enough to go through with the actual
crime.
Dahl admitted to selling. the. wheat
in the twin cities and made a manly
confession before the court.
