TELLS ABOUT HIS
ALASKAN CLAIM
Cass County Resident on the
Ground When Gold Was
Discovered in Far North

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 22-As q result
OF his invasion of the Alaskan gold
field in 1899 where he laid out a val
liable claim, Andrew Jensen, a we'll
known man living at Buffalo, in this
county, has been called upon to fur
nish testimony in one of the most i'm
portant cases that ever came before
the courts Of Alaska.
The case is Pioneer Mining COM
pany VS.. the Pacific Coal & Transport
tation company and has to do with
certain boundaries Of claims laid out
years ago.. Mr.. Jensen offered his tes-
timony by deposition before e. G.
Gearey. Jr., clerk of the county court.
In 1899 Jensen went to Alaska and
was on the ground when the gold dis
covery became known. He staked out
q claim which adjoined the same one
as that Of Linderberg, the Dane who
discovered the Alaskan gold. Later
he sold his claim to a party and the
man who purchased 1t sold it to the
Pioneer Mining company.
While in Alaska Jensen assisted a
friend in locating a claim and the
claim of the friend afterwards became
the property Of the Pacific Coal &
Mining company.
Both claims later developed to be
abundant in ore and the claim Of Jen-
sen was especially rich. The owners
of the two claims have gotten into a
dispute relative to the boundary lines
between their property.
Jensen's deposition told how he had
located his claim and where, accord
ing to the plan drawn and sent here
he had set out his stakes. He also
gave in his deposition some informa-
ton regarding which claim in. his
opinion was prior.
The testimony of the Cass county
man is thought to have a most i'm
portant bearing in the case, which
will be tried in the Alaskan courts.
Jensen was an intimate friend of
Linderberg, the first person to find
gold in Alaska and the two men lived
side by side. Linderberg went to the
far north for the government for the
purpose of securing reindeer and
while there he discovered the gold.
He is now the president Of the Pioneer
Mining company.

COTTAGE BURGLAR
HAS HAND INJURED
Was Shot by the Protector of
Property Owned by Num-
Der of Fargo Residents

Detroit, Mimi, Sept. 22.-Will Ma
son, aged 80, a cottage burglar" was
shot and badly wounded by Walter
Anderson, hired by owners Of Fargo
cottage at Lake Melissa to protect
their property during the winter.
The shooting occurred near the cot
tage of DR.. .Tronnes into which Ma
son. had broken.
Anderson and John Swanson, the
latter general utility nan Of the cot
tagers, had noticed Mason prowling
around in the day time and watched
the cottages closely. They saw a light
in the upstairs of the Tronnes cottage
and knowing that it was closed, Ander-
son shot into the air.
Mason came out and Anderson COW
cred the burglar with his shotgun and
told the latter to halt and put up his
hands. Instead of doing this mason
came toward Anderson and said: "IlI
get you"
At this Anderson fired. Mason yelled
and turning ran into the brush and es-
capped. Later he was captured by
Sheriff Glaum of Becker county. 1t
was found that Mason's hand was al
most shot away.
For several years Fargo cottagers
have had trouble in the winter, by
having their cottages entered and
looted, and already this fall a great
deal of looting has been done despite
the fact that watchmen were hired to
guard the property.

New Self Defense Evidence Found in
Void Case, Il Is Alleged

Wahpeton. N. d., Sept. 22-Peter
Myrood Of Fargo has been in the city
looking up new evidence and prepar-
ing to appeal to the Minnesota pardon
board in behalf of Peter Void, a con-
vict at Saltwater, sentenced from
Breckenridge in 1889 for the murder
of Hans Haugen.
From new evidence alleged to have
been obtained it appears that the MUIR

that the latter in protecting himself
struck Haugen and killed him. Void
then took a watch and money from
the dead body, which he turned over
to the widow of the murdered man
who resided at Brainerd at that time,
informing her that her husband had
gone to Norway and she would see
him no more
A few weeks later Void was ar

guilty and sentenced to life imprison.

INVESTIGATE DEATH
State Humane Officer VIII Look Into
Details Of Demise.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 22.-Humane
Officer Blake of jamestown left on the
500 for Minot. On the way there he
will stop at Max to look into the mys-
ferrous death Of a baby at that place.
Mr.. Blake had in charge two little
boys for whom he has found homes.
One of the little orphans, John Fitz-
simmons, is about s years old, and a
very attractive little fellow, and will
find a good home in one of the best
families in Minot. The second is Amy
Campbell Of Bismarck, the boy who
escaped from Mr.. Blake and returned
home Tuesday. He seems to have
made up his mind, however, that it is
no use trying to run away, because
he is invariably caught. Mr.. Blake is
taking the Campbell boy with him on
his trip to Minot just as a treat, and
on his return will place him with
John Gross, a wealthy farmer living
a few miles northeast Of Medina. Mr.
Gross has no children and Mr.. Blake

contented and like his surroundings

MAKING DRY FARM PLEASANT
conpsnionship Of Animals is Great
Factor In Developing Spirit OF
Country Life In Youth.

In visiting the average dry farm
many things are lacking that are
necessary to make this home a pleaF'
ant place in which to live. No farm
can be truly a home without live
stock. Milk, cream, butter, cheese,
eggs and various kinds of meats are
necessary. These contribute TO the
comfort and happiness of the family.
The companionship of animals Is
great factor in developing the spirit
of country life in young people, writes
X. W. Clark in the Orange Judd
Farmer. The lamb, colt, calf, pig
chick, all help TO make the country
pleasant and attractive.
Grain is the main dry crop The

A few sheep will furnish meat fol

FIND VALUE IN COAL iSHES
Rhode Island Farmer Uses Them to
Advantage Behind cattle-Pos-
sess Valuable Properties.

A Rhode Island correspondent OF
the Rural New Yorker says: | OBJ
serve in your paper some inquiries
about the value of coal ashes, with re-
marks upon their low analyses of fer
tilizing materials. After 40 years OF
farming | have learned to doubt the
value of many of these so-called sci
entific dicta-such as analyses OF
soils, balanced rations. lining all
soils. etc.
use sifted ashes behind cattle and
believe find value in them, not only
as absorbents, but as possessing other
valuable properties. use my eye
sight in farming, and l notice that
where coal ashes are scattered on
walks the edges are always lush and
dark green. There is a difference in
coal ashes, whether bituminous or an
thracite. and even between the pro-
ducts of different mines.
As illustrating my well-founded in
credulity of analyses can recall that
when Nicholas Longworth. the foun'
der Of commercial viticulture in the
west, began planting vines at Cincin-
natl. he hired a lot of boys to- pick
up and cut in small pieces all the
leather boots and shoes they could
find with which TO fertilize his vines
BY analysis he was justified. but the
process OF decay was so slow that he
soon abandoned It, The fertilizer
manufacturers know the value Of
ground leather in increasing the state
lnent of phosphate.
