GROWING GIRLS
NEED A TONIC
When They Become Thin and
Pale If Proper Development
and HeaIthfuI WOmanhOOd
Is to Be Assured.

Poverty of the blood, scientifically
called anemia, is common in young
girls and in persons who are overworked
or confined within doors and makes its
approach in SO stealthy a manner that
1t is often well developed before its
presence is recognized. Taken in time
the disease is readily durable, the specific
being a tonic medicine which increases
the number of red blood corpuscles thus
enabling the blood to carry the life
giving oxygen to all the tissues of the
body.
Mrs. Nellie E. Roscovius, of Tulalip,
Wash, was strong and healthy until
her fourteenth year when she went into
a rapid decline. For the next year she
suffered from anemia and was not
cured until she gave DIR. Williams
Pink Pills trial. She says:
when was fourteen years of age l
went into decline and was miserable
for year. had not particle of color
and my blood was turning to water.
/ was very weak and could not walk up
stairs without great effort. had dizzy
spells and headaches all of the time and
was compelled tn leave school.
The doctors pronounced my trouble
ansmia but 1 did not receive much
benefit from them. Through a neigh
Dor, who had given her daughter DR..
Williams Pink Pills, began their use.
After short treatment with the pills 1
was stronger. l quickly regained my
health and strength and have had no
occasion to use the pills since"
The tonic treatment with DIR. VIII
iams' Pink Pills is successful because it
acts directly on the blood, purifying and
building it up to its normal health. 1t
therehv keens the hOdv healthv even
under unusual conditions.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have been
found invaluable in a wide range of dis
eases of the blood and nerves such as
rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and
fevers, neuralgia, nervous debility, St.
Vitus' dance and even partial paralysis
and locomotor ataxia.

SECTION DIRECTOR ROBERTS RE-
cEIvED TELEGRAM FROM
TOWNSEND, MONT.

Bismarck, N. D., March dissection
Director o. w. Roberts Of the United
States weather bureau received a .ele-
gram from Townsend, Mont, stating
mat the ice had gone out on the head
waters of the river at that point. How
ever Mr.. Roberts states that the ice
on the river between Bismarck and
Williston is still in very solid con-
ditlon and averages twenty four inches
thickness. The ice above WilIistorl for
considerable distance has not been
weakened very much either. Therefore
there is little probability that it will
go out at this point for several days
yet at the least
1t is interesting to recall that it was
one year ago Monday that the ice
broke up at this point, and yesterday
was the anniversary of the ice gorge
near the Northern Pacific bridge and
the consequent floods in the Mandan
and Bismarck river bottoms that caus-
ed considerable anxiety on the part of
some of the residents of the two cities

lie. 1t is not anticipated that there

HISTORIC
DISCOVERY
Skeletons Found IN Mound Near
jamestown
Many indian Tools Are Also
Discovered

jamestown, N. D., March 15.-Some
interesting photographs have been
taken by engineers on construction
work on the proposed route of the
new line of railroad in the northern
PORTION of this county. These pho
tographs show the contents of a
mound, and the skeletons Of seven
persons.
The mound was observed by sur
veyors, who believed it to have been
made by the Indians. Upon exca-
waiting, several fine specimens of In
dian hammers and war implements
were discovered, and the skeletons of
what appear to be white men. The
wrists are tied with rawhide, and the
heads all point in one direction, and
the skulls are crushed. 1t is apparent
that the victoms were surprised by
Indians and bound and murdered.
From the appearance of the mound,
it would appear that the crime was
perpetrated about forty years ago.
There are several mounds along the
new Pingree-W Wilton line, and along
tn proposed course of the Midland
Continental railroad north Of the city,
and it is proposed to open the same.
1t Is believed that a fine collection Of
indian war implements and curios
can be- obtained therefrom.

INDIAN WOMAN
IS FOUND DEAD
coRoNER's JURY INVESTIGATES
DEATH DUE TO ACUTE
ALCOHOLISM.

Cogswell, n. D., March 15.--An In
dian woman, Mrs. Angie Ortley, was
found dead near the cemetery, south
of Cayuga. She was first seen by Ed
Murray, the stage driver returning
from veblih. Her brother John
Longie was with her, and the driver
saw that the man was drunk and
thought the woman was in the same
condition, and did not stop to inves-
tigate.
She was found later by Henry La
Croix, a reservation Indian, and the
village authorities notified. The lat
ter notified the coroner and an inves-
tigation was held Sunday and Monday,
which brought out the following facts:
Saturday morning about 10 o'clock
seven Indians came in from the reser-
walton to get some lumber. They
bought FIVE pints OF whisky from Fred
Askerooth, who has been stopping sew
eral miles north Of town, and a half
a gallon of hard cider from Ira Sill
vernail, and by the time they were
ready to leave town about O'Clock,
thye were gloriously drunk with the
exception of one woman, Mrs. La Croix,
who did not drink.
The dead weman's husband left for
home early and she left town in a
buggy with Mrs. La Croix Just south
of town they caught up with lumber
wagon on which La Croix and John
Longie, deceased's brother, were riding

and she insisted on getting out Of the
buggy to ride with her brother. La
Croix got into the buggy with his
wife and they left the brother and
sister there.
La Croix drove to Longies and let
his wife out and started back, accom-
panied by Geoge Cloutier, to get
Longie and Mrs. Ortley. They met the
team on the road without a driver and
Cloutier took the team home La
Croix found the couple where he had
left them. The woman lay in the road
dead and the man in the ditch unable
to move.
Coroner Sayler arrived early Sunday
morning and started an Investigation
He empanelled jury and examined
several witnesses. Subpoenaes were
issued for more witnesses and an adj
journment taken until the next day
DR.. Hubbard performed an autopsy
Monday, assisted by the coroner and
as no signs OF violence were found
1t was decided by the jury, that death
was due to the excessive use of in
toxicants.
States Attorney Leslie and Sheriff
Jackman assisted in the investigation
Monday. and warrant has been issued
for Fred Askerooth, who sold the
whisky to the Indians. The latter,
however, has left for parts unknown,
presumably for Canada, where he is
said to have a claim.
S. e. Allen, Indian agent for the
Sisseton reservation, also took part in
the investigation Monday.

LAW CASE HAS
UNUSUAL PHASES

Jamestown, N. D., March 15.-Much
litigation has arisen in connection
with the McLaren matter in this
county. McLaren was bound over to
the district court on a charge of en-
bezzlement, it being charged that he
misappropriated several hundred dol
lars worth of funds entrusted to him
for the purpise Of buying wheat.
A short time ago an attachment was
filed against the land of McLaren by
merchants of Buchanan, who claim
to recover of him. The grounds stated
delivered ii him. The grounds stated
in the affidavit for attachment, are
that McLaren is about to remove
from the state and that he is about
to remove his property not leaving
enough to pay his creditors.
Immediately after the sheriff had
made the attachment Atty. Geo. w.
Thorp on behalf OF Guy Hatfield,
served notice of third party claim,
showing that Hatfield is the owner
Of the land by virtue of a deed. and
demanding that the attachment be
quashed. The sheriff who made the
attachment must now obtain securi-
ty from the attaching creditors or
withdraw the attachment or answer
to Hatfield for any damages he may
sustain by reason of the attachment.
The charge of embeZzlement against
McLaren will be heard at the next
term of the district court, at which
time the various civil suits growing
out of the matter will also be brought
on for trial.

KREITER TRIAL
LATE in APRIL

Aberdeen, S. D., March 15.-It now is
a practical certainty that the trial of
Mrs. Eva May Kreiter will be held late
in April, instead of next fall, as the
court decided last week. When the
states attorney last week asked for
a continuance of the case until the
fall term. the attorneys for Mrs. Kreit-
er objected, and demanded an imme-
date trial. This was refused by Judge
McNulty, who granted the states at
torney request for postponement. Yes
terday, States Attorney Harkin stated
he had secured new evidence which
justified an earlier trial, and accord
ingly the court excused the jurors
until April "a, when the case will be
taken up. The states attorneys Office
is extremely reticent concerning the
nature of the new testimony. 1t is
known that the stomach Of Kreiter
was sent away for chemical analysis,
and that an occupant of the Kreiter
house claimed the dying man stated
that his wife had poisoned 1ir%, as
well as stabbed him, but it is not
known what the analysis of the con-
tents of the stomach showed.
The sudden ending of the Hubbard
Jackson damage suit by the summary
dismissal of the case by Judge Nc
Nulty, on motion of the defendants
attorneys, ended the jury cases for
this term until April "a, the only re-
manning case of Importance on the
docket being the Kreiter case.
