AFTER MARRIAGE

Cando Herald: The sad news of the
death of Mrs. Lester P. Warford reach

About two months ago Mr.. War

Of the brides parents and the young
people were given many hearty con-
gratulations and start in life's jour-
ney together
A few days after the ceremony
they left for Brooklyn, N. Y, the
home of Rev. Warford's parents for
short visit before returning to Can

EQUALIZATION
BOARD OF STATE
NOW IN SESSION AT BISMARCK
INTERESTING TABLES PRE-
PARED FOR THE BOARD.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2.-The reg
ular annual meeting of the state board
Of equalization held the first session
of the 1910 meeting in the governors
office this morning and after organic
ing and appointing c. H. Olson of this
city as the official stenographer OF the
board adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow MORNING.
The board this year is composed Of
the same persons as last year, namely,
Gov. John Burke, State Auditor D. K.
Brightbill, State Treasurer G. L. Bick-
ford, Commissioner Of Agriculture and
Labor w. c. Gilbreath and Attorney
General Andrew Miller. The state
auditors Office has prepared number
of tables and charts for the conven-
fence of the board and there are some
interesting features in them.
At the present time only thirty two
counties have reported but they are
expected to be all in by this evening
and the real work Of the board will
start tomorrow morning. The tables
compiled by the state auditor shows
that the county boards have more
closely followed the values set by the
state board last year in their esti-
mates on land values and there are
but few places where the amount has
been decreased from that arrived at by
the state board in 1909.
One Of the most interesting tables
prepared is that showing the valua-
lions made by the state board for
years since 1897. For the year 1897
the valuation as left by the state board
was $91, 722,99O and this has steadily
increased until the valuation found for
1909 was $27S,40O230 and the revenue
has increased from $403,581 in 1897 to
$1,419,842 in 1909.
The board was in session nine days
last year but will not take as long this
year according to present indications
as much Of the time last session was
lost in waiting for returns from some
Of the counties.

Who owns The
CHRISTY. ESTATE?

jamestown, N. D, July 31.-Some in
teresting phases of the inheritance law
will be brought to light when the es-
tate Of the Christys in this county is
ready to be closed up.
Attorney Thorp who is probating the
estate has been in consultation with
the administrator, and learned some
interesting facts in connection with
the famous Aberdeen murder, which
will make it necessary to take several
dispositions in order to establish in
whom the valuable real property in
this county shall vest.
1t appears that Mr.. Christy was
murdered in his barn on his farm near
Aberdeen. His wife was living at that
time and his estate Immediately de-
scended to her. Five minutes after
the murder Of her husband, she was
Murdered by the same assassin as she
stood on the steps Of her home calling
for help. The estate therefor descend
ed Immediately to her daughter. The
daughter was in her room in the house,
and a few minutes after the murder of
her parents, she was murdered. She
had no brothers, or sisters and no
grandparents, her only heirs at law be-
ing relatives more or less remote.
The facts with reference to the muir
der of the Christy family were secured
from the murderer, who was a farm
hand on the Christy farm, and were
brought out in the confession made by
him while under sentence of death. It
will be necessary to take much testi-
mony in order to enable the court to
determine definitely in whom the es-
tate of the murdered daughter shall be
vested.

PRISONER ESCAPES
At GRAND FORKS
CARL ANDERSON, WHO MADE A
THRILLING FIGHT LAST WIN
TER IN LIMELIGHT AGAIN.

Grand Forks, N. D. Aug. 2.-Another
adventurous episode has found its way
into the eventful career Of Carl AM
derson5. the fellow who purloined !
second-hand hat, one day last wirtef
and then, upon being apprehended by
Odin OVERLY, at that time chief of
police, leaped into the swollen waters
or the raging Red, and lodging the
cakes of floating ice I'M a manner that
would have made Eliza's flight look
like child's play. swan the current to
the middle pier of the Great Northern
railroad bridge, which he rapidly
scaled and hurried into Minnesota
with the chief in hot pursuit.
This, time, however, Anderson has
the charge of jail breaking chalked
up against him. and In the event he
reappears in this neck of the woods
and Is apprehended by police officer
the chances are he will be given
plenty of time to think over his fool
ishness and make better resolutions
under the watchful eye Of the sheriff.
Anderson was arrested on Saturday
night, charged with vagrancy. He was
locked in a. cell over night, but Sun
day morning he feigned illness and
was allowed the freedom of the cor
ridor, the door of which was barred
and securely locked On Sunday
evening he was permitted to remain
in the same place, and shortly after
10 o'clock Chief Of Police Lowe Wis
tied the prisoner and found every
thing all right before 2catching the
car going home. However, from all
appearances the fellow got real busy
Immediately after the chief left him,
for he picked the lock and gained his
liberty in plenty of time to board the
next car northward bound, hailing 1t
directly in front of the city hall He
informed the carmen of what had oc-
CURED and upon being warned of the
seriousness of his offense, jumped
from the car and made good his es-
cape. a
During the course of the afternoon
the fellow talked through the window
bars to passersby and it is probable
that one of his friends secured the
wire or instrument with which he
licked the lock effecting his escane.
Another similar lock was on one Of
the cell doors, and 1t was later dis
covered that he had first practiced on
this lock before trying his hand at
the one whoch effected his confine-
ment.

notice of the fact that here is some
thing which has accomplished more in
the few years 1t has been practiced
than medicine has been able to do in
a generation.
Chiropractic, spine adjusting, the
elimination Of disease aby putting the
spinal column right is now recognized
as one of the potent forces to be reck-
oned with in the treatment of disease.
Unlike all other forms of healing Chi
ropractic depends wholly on setting a
wrong condition right for it's effects.
That 1t has been marvelously success
full is but proof that 1t is built upon the
SOLID rock of eternal truth.
/ Seems simple does it not? That a
disease Of the stomach for instance
could be due to the fact that a Joint
In your spine was slightly off center
and that in the slight lisIocation the
delicate nerve that passes through the
spine carrying life from the brain to
the stomach should be pinched suffici-
emily to disturb the stomach functions
is strange at first glance but proven
fact.
So it is with the other organs; so It
is with other diseases, and the best
proof of the fact is found when the
Chtropractor sets it to rights and the
trouble disappears; the Chiropractor,
of all practitioners is alone able to do
this, and in doing it removes the cause
and makes the sick body well.
If you wish to know more about this
common sense way of making the sick
well; If you wish a practical demon
station of this established fact, call at
the ONCE of the Chiropractor, Geo. A.
Newsalt, d. c., in the Savings e.

desired information.

MUST FARGO GO
OUT OF BUslNESS7

Beach Advance: The editor of the
Marmarth Mail says that stopping the
sale of liquor in Moorhead wipes out
the main source of revenue for Fargo
and If the prohibited territory is ex-
tended to Breckenridge and East
Grand Forks, the death knell of pro-
hibition will have been sounded in
North Dakota. We believe the editor
of The Mail is unduly alarmed. It has
been little over twenty years now
since this law has been in effect in
North Dakota and only recently, favor
able comment was made upon it's eff
feet by men who were opposed to it's
adoption. We do not believe that the
corner stone of the city of Fargo is a
beer mug or that it's future prospects
will be blighted by stopping the sale
of liquor in Moorhead or anywhere
else

through the local postof1ce. Although
the ultimatum, which we give below,
was not signed. it would not take a
Pinkerton detective to place his finger
on the writer. Here 1t is:
j. w. Brinton, you have sixty days
time to leave the town of Beach. Your
print shop will be blown up and your
operahouse will be blown up and
burned up. You had better quit bust
ness In Beach and leave the town as
quick as you can"
Whether the above is just a threat
or the writer means business, it shows
the present state Of mind of certain
parties who have failed so far in put
ting The Chronicle out Of business, or
themselves in public favor.
The Chronicle will still be doing
business at the old stand sixty days
hence, and in the meantime we will
prepare ourselves for an aerial flight
on stick Of dynamite.

HOPPERS MAY
MAKE TROUBLE

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 2.--Is this
country to be visited by plague Of
grasshoppers? The old timers who
were IN Kansas, Nebraska and parts
OF Iowa and Minnesota in 1S74-75 can
see strong resemblance between the
conditions now and thirty-six years
ago, when the states above mentioned
We're visited by the pests.
1t Is remarked that grasshoppers are
becoming alarmingly numerous in this
state, and 1t is said that If dry weather
should develop next spring, the eggs Of
the hopDers now being laid will hatch
out in large numbers, devastating ev-
erything green in the country.
Yesterday it was noticed that Devils
Lake was literally covered with grass
hoppers which had fallen into the lake.
Gulls and every winged thing that can
swim are having great picnic.
