M|KL DRAWS
LIFE IN Pen

Grafton, N. D., March 14.-The
Frank Mkt case came to the termina-
ton that has been expected for some
time, when the confessed murderer
of wife and baby boy pleaded guilty
before Judge Kneeshaw at Grafton
and was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. Mkt will be taken at once to
the penitentiary where he will begin
his term that will undoubtedly end
only with his death owing to the ex-
ceedingly brutal nature of the crime
committed. The murderer broke down
somewhat when sentenced and cried
q little, but otherwise seemed to be
bearing up well.
The Mikl case has proven one of
the most sensational murder cases
ever tried in North Dakota owing to
the peculiar nature of the defendant
and the horrible nature Of the crime
committed. The story Of how Mkt
choked his wife and baby boy to death
on Christmas day, following, accord
ing to his story, a confession that the
boy was not his own, is we'll known.
Following his conviction on charge
of uxoricide and the 3O-year sentence
imposed by the jury Mikl confessed
to one of his counsel the whole affair.
Up to that time he had steadily stuck
to the story that both wife and baby
died Of sickness.
The confession soon became public
property and having once told his
story. Mkt is said to have confessed
to a number of others. The people
Of Walsh county demanded that he be
tried on the second charge, that OF
numbering the infant, and he was ar
rested. From the time of his first
confession Mikl has weakened and
with the gallows staring him in the
face, has been anxious to confess. He
was given the opportunity and plead
ed guilty.

new TOWNS ON
MILWAUKEE ROAD
FIRST TOWN on CANNON BALL
BRANCH Is RALEIGH ON
BISMARCK TRAIL.

Cannon Ball, N. D., March H.
Especial. 1.-The first town on the new
Cannon Ball branch Of the Milwaukee
road is Raleigh, on section 1885.
This is at this crossing Of the old
Bismarck trail to the Black Hills. A
few buildings have already been built,
including a store and blacksmith
shop. The population is mixed, large
ly Scandinavians.
The second town Is on section s.
1887, a good location, and the third
is a German settlement On .31-1S4-86.
New Leipzig is on 35-136-9O, which
promises to become an important
town. At this point the N. P. and
Milwaukee are only 1875 feet apart.
The old town of Leipzig will move to
this point.
Already it boasts of two stores, two
drug stores, two lumber yards, two
banks, one restaurant, one livery barn,
two pool rooms, one hardware store, a
photograph gallery, a fifty barrel -four
mill, two meat markets, a newspaper
and a number of residences. The
company is also figuring on an artes-
ian well.
13-133-91 will be the town OF Bentley,
about two miles from its old site.
This town boasts Of bank, q lum-
Der yard, store and an implement
house. Between this town and Mott,
a distance of fourteen miles, there
will be no town,
Mott is the next town. This town
has been established for some years
and the townsite is in the hands of
private parties. The first town west
Of Mott will be known as Regent.
Already it has two or three banks,
two lumber yards, hardware store,
two general stores and numerous 9TH
er enterprises are going in fast. The
town is situated on fiat over the
Cannon Ball river on the old Dickin-
son trail. This town is twenty-six
miles from Gladstone.
New England, on 4-135-97, will be
the next town and the terminus of the
road. This is already a good town
and will no doubt grow very rapidly.

plies are required from individuals

ton Of such general statistics. TIE
census has nothing to do with tax
alton, with army or jury service,
with the compulsion of school atten.
dance, with the regulation of immi-
grafton, or with the enforcement of
any national, state or local law or
ordinance, nor can any person be
harmed in any way by furnishing
the information required. There
need be no fear that any disclosure

ual person or his affairs. For the

terests of the persons furnishing in
formation, every employee OF the

The proclamation is for the pur-
pose of removing fears from the

they give concerning themselves to
the census taker may be used in
some way to the detriment of their
personal or business interests.
Against any such abuse, however. the
government has thrown the strong
est safeguards.
