Spring chicken and turkeys are maxi
ing their appearance in large numbers
and they have already mot with ready
sale.
All reports from tho surrounding
country are to tho effect that turkeys
are more plentiful this year than they
were last, and consequently they will
be very reasonable in prico, ranging
from IA to IS cents a pound. Spring
chickens are also very plentiful and
they range in price from 12 1-2 to Is
cents pound.
While there have been very few
turkeys shipped from Devils Lake for
the Thanksgiving trade there is no
doubt that there will DO large ship
ments during the next two days. Last
year there was an unusually large mum.
Der of turkeys shipped to other sec
tions of the country for Thanksgiving
consumption, and this cut down the
Christmas and New Years supply to
great extent.
Large supplies Of green stuffs have
been received for the Thanksgiving
dinner. One local grocer stated yes,
terday that there would be large sup.
plies Of lettuce, radishes, onions, Gu.
cumbers, parsley and celery on hand

WILL LAST SEVERAL Weeks
Cowan Case Drags Slowly Along;
Many Witnesses on Stand.

At the present rate of going
the Cowan case will last for
several weeks yet. This week
there has been a steady grind
of testimony on the specifica-
ton of habitual drunkenness
and there has been much same
ness to the stories told by over
thirty witnesses examined as
to this charge. Many of these
witnesses testify positively to
having seen Judge Cowan
drunk in public places at divers
times during a period of sever
al years.
One of the sensations of this
week was the action of the
board of managers reproving
the Fargo Forum for unfair
and unwarranted reports of
the proceedings. The Forum
representative is alleged to
have admitted that he had
orders to color his stories as
strongly as possible where
matter of opinion was involved.
Incidentally the evidence
submitted against Cowan is
throwing lot of light on the
conditions that have existed
for some time in Devils Lake
with regard to blind pigs and
other public nuisances.

Five Points Of q Dairy Cow.

The five points to be observ-
ed in selecting a good COW was
the subject of a address made
by O.C. Gregg at the St. Johns
Institute.
1st. Large body and espe-
cially middle piece, indicating
a capacity for eating and digest
ing a lot of food.
End. Thinly fleshed back
bone and especially back of
shoulders. This indicates that
the food is not made into flesh.
3rd. Large udder, as it is
here that the milk is made.
4th. Large milk wells. 1t
is through these that the blood
returns to the heart from the
udder. If they are large it in
dicates that a large amount of
blood passes through the udder.
9TH. Large clear eyes. This
indicates good nerves, and they
drive the organs of digestion
and milk making.
He said that a sixth point
could be added-the scales and
the Babcock test.

on MayoraIty Proposition.
GOOD FIGHT IN TWO WARDS
Contests in Second and Third
Wards, Berthiaume and
Mackay Winners.

The city election on Monday
was not a very strenuous one
although there were interest
ing contests for alderinanic
positions in the second and
third wards. The vote as a
whole was light but the second
ward cast almost it's entire
voting strength as a result of
the contest between Arthur
Berthiaume and =. B. Fergu-
son.
H. A. Bate was elected d
mayor practically without OPP
position. On this proposition
1870 votes were cast, Mr.. Bate
receiving 175 and the other
five being divided among five
other persons.
w. Fl. Adams was reelected
in the first ward and received
the entire ~ votes cast.
In the second ward there
was spirited contest between
Alderman Berthiaume and p.
3. Ferguson, the former win
ming out by vote of 50 to 80
DR.. A. r. MacKay and w. II.
Mcintosh were candidates for
aldermen in the third ward
and Mackay was elected by a
vote of AZ to "a.
J. !. Scully was reelected
treasurer and received the 181
| votes cast.
John Smithson was agai n
chosen police magistrate, re-
ceiving 1856 votes. For this
office |. r. Bark way received
22 votes although not consent
ing to be a candidate.
John McCaughna was elected
justice of the peace. There
was no concerted action re-
garding this office and most Of
the tickets used had failed to
include a candidate for this
office. hence there was wide
diversity Of opinion. The can
vass showed 70 votes for Nc
Caughna, % for John Smith
son, 5 for Henry Warner, 4 for
|. r. parkway and one each
for nine others.
The Courant is we'll satisfied
with the result of the election
and believes that the officers
chosen together with those
who hold over will constitute
a business administr alton that
can safely be trusted with the
weighty responsibilities in
cident to the present stage of
the city's development. There
will be much to do during the
present term and it will require
much of the time and thought
of the officials to perform the
difficult tasks that fall to their
lot. Citizens should bear this
in mind and cooperate fully
with them at all times in
furthering the common good.

Death OF AN OLD PIONEER
Andrew J. Hart, First Settler In Turtle
Mountains Is Dead.

A. ]. Hart, a we'll known
resident of the Turtle mount
aims and the pioneer settler in
that region, died at his home
on the shores of Lake Metigo-
she on Tuesday. The i'm
mediate cause of death was
heart trouble. Mr.. Hart has
not been in his usual robust
health for over a year and dur
ing the winter has been quite
i'll a number of times. Within
the past two weeks his .condi-
tion became 80 serious that
medical aid was called in, but
nothing could be done for him
in the way of cure. His death,
which took place shortly after
noon on Tuesday was very
sudden.
Andrew ]. Hart was born in
Illinois on July 7, 1885, and was
therefore at the time of his
death nearly seventy-seven
years old. In his young man.
hood he served with an Illinois
regiment in the Civil war and
later located inMinnesota where
he did good work as chief of
scouts during the trouble fol
flowing the Indian massacres

Peter DufauIt Of Westhope Was Bound
Over TO the District Court.
Ed. DuFAuLT WAS CLEARED
Westhope JeweIer Admitted t.
Bail in The Sum of Three
Thousand Dollars.

The preliminary hearing in
the case of the state VS.. Peter
Dufault and Ed. Dufault on a
charge of arson took place be-
fore Justice SmithsOn on Tues
day and resulted in a dismissal
of the case as to Ed. Dufault
and the binding over to district
court under bonds of So, 900 of
Peter Dufault.
The case arose from the burn
ing of the building in which
Dufault conducted a jewelry
store at Westhope. The fire was
discovered about 5 o'clock on
the morning of Friday, March
"a, under circumstances that
pointed strongly to arson. An
investigation was made b y
States Attorney Weeks and
warrants were issued for the
Dufault brothers.
The case took up nearly all
of Tuesday and the followin g
witnesses were examined: w.
J. Reynolds, J. l.. Page, Robert
Zirkle, A. l.. Bauman, w. B.

the fire started under the floor
of the hall leading from the
jewelry store to the living
rooms upstairs and that it had
burned through the joists and
worked up in the wall to the
upper story. 1t was shown
that the residence part had

of value removed. There was
some evidence to show that
two persons had eaten a lunch
in the living rooms during the
night of the fire. but perhaps
the most significant testimony
was that which showed that
Peter Dufault claimed to have
spent the Thursday night pre-
ceding the fire in Bottineau
and to have slept in the Woods
livery barn, while four wit
nesses testified positively that
they had seen him board the
train at Landa on Friday morn
ing.
The testimony of Mrs. Ben
A'f, manager of the New Lon
don hotel, was also significant.
She told OF a trunk containing
clothing and table linen that
had been hidden in endorsement
of the hotel by the Dufaults
and Of their request that in case
Of inquiry she should claim the
trunk as her own.
The defense, which was
handled by Attorney Soule of
Westhope, offered no evidence
and Justice Smithson decided
there was sufficient cause to
hold Peter Dufault to district
court and fixed the bail at $3,-
OOO, which was furnished by
the parties who gave bond for
the appearance at the prelimin-
ary hearing.
