Minot, N. D., March 10.-Tf the
board Of control of the North Dakota
normal schools can select a site, there
is nothing to prevent work on the nor
NAL school buildings being started as
soon as the plans are made and &C
ceptcd.
This fact developed today when it
became known in Minot that the Mi
not normal school appropriation bill
contains an emergency clause, by
which the appropriation of $4,000 is
available immediately. The rest of
the 100000 is available on Jan. l, 1918,
when the girls dormitory will be about
completed.
This means that Minot can start at
work at once on the normal school
buildings. It was thought at first that
the $15O,000 was available on July l,
when all the bills go into effect, unless
they contain the emergency clause, but
the normal appropriation is available at
once.
The expenditure of $15O,Oo0 in Mi.
not this year will help out good deal
in keeping people employed. It is
practically certain that the 500 depot
will be constructed at cost of 800.
900 this summer, so there will be great
activity here.

SHOOTING AT H111sBoRo
Hillsboro Boy Shoots Foreman on His
Fathers Farm-Quarreled Over
Authority.

Hillsboro, N. D., March 11.--ln a
shooting fray at the Cooper farm eight
miles from Hillsboro this morning,
Mclean Cooper, the son of one Of the
wealthiest farmers Of Trail county,
shot and probably fatally injured
Frank Ross, the foreman of the Cooper
farm. Ross is in the hospital with all
of his body below the point where the
bullet passed through the spinal cord,
completely paralyzed.
Last night Cooper tclephoned into
Hillsboro to Sheriff Osmon of Trail
county asking him to come out to the
farm and arrest Ross. He stated that
Ross and several Of the other men
working on the farm were having some
trouble with himself.
The sheriff refused to make the trip
to the Cooper farm, which is eight miles
out of Hillsboro, unless Cooper would
come in and swear out a warrant
against the farm foreman. Cooper then
tod the sheriff that he would take tho
matter into his own hands.
This morning early Cooper and Ross
again got into row. The foreman
picked Cooper up and threw him over
a fence. Cooper arose and pulled a
revolver and began to shoot at the feet
of the foreman.
eff you are going to start any gun
play,I' II get one myself said Ros,
and with that he started to turn back
to the house, presumably to get 8
weapon. Cooper opened fire on hin
and sent bullet through his back, the
ball cutting the spinal cor dand lodg
ing in the breast just behind the heart
Ross sank to the ground with cry.
Sheriff Osmon arrested Cooper THU
morning, and Ross was taken to tn
hospital. He had nv use of his limb
and his whole body below the poin
where the ball entered is paralyzed.
Cooper IS father, who is one Of tn
wealthiest farmers in North Dakota, i
in the east. When he left home b

placed Ross, the foreman, in charge
of the farm, It is presumed that the
trouble between the two men started
over the question Of authority in the
management Of the place.
Young Cooper is about 90 years old
and at ono time was a student at
Culver. He is a highly respected young
man and his family is one Of the most
influential and prominent in his home
county.
All Hillsboro was wild with excite.
ment when Cooper was brought into
town BY the sheriff. The prominence
Of Cooper g family has caused the
shooting to be a big sensation.

The remarkable instinct of the mud

when the dry season approaches is a
wonderful provision of nature intend

most interesting fact about this fish is
that it breathes by means of its gills

ORDERS FOR AN INSPECTION.
Frame Says Purpose is to Determine
Fitness Of Infantry to Participate
in Allotment.

Col. Frame has issued general or.
ders No. regarding the coming in
spection Of the national guard of the
state and states that the inspection is
for the purpose Of determining wheth-
er or not the first infantry is armed
and equipped and instructed sufficient
ly to participate in the allotment OF
funds under the federal law. Atten-
ton is called to the necessity of fol-
lowing out closely the instruction Civ
en- by the regular army sergeants who
lave been on trip if instruction over
the state for the past two months and
the kind of equipment that will be re-
quired in the inspection.
If any member of company is at
tending military school at the time
of the inspection and is unable to be
present certificate of his attendance
and the fact that such school instructs
in military drill and tactics for a GER
tain number of hours each week will
be taken as credit for the absent mem
Der.
If any member is absent from in
spection unavoidably, and if his at
tendance can be secured at any other
company station at the date of such
company's inspection arrangements
should be made for such appearance.
The order calls attention to the ne
cessity of having all arrangements for
arrival of the inspection officer.
It is probable that aside from the
inspecting officer Maj. Steadman and
Col. Frame will make the trip.
