conspiring to smuggle grain into the
United States from Canada. Confess
sions from a dozen men, II Is alleged.

One OF the men under arrest 1t Is
said, has confessed. The plea was
made a matter OF record before d

nished bonds.
Search for the Mona Lisa. the
Partisan painting. the disappearance
or which has aroused police officials
over the entire world, was directly
responsible for the arrests made at
Norma. The st. Paul officer and as
sociates had been along the frontier
OF North Dakota watching for the
painting.
The chain system of grain snuR-
cling has been carried on, 1t IL said
Tor over year. It is one that in
wolves both Canadian and American
farmers. The Canadian farmer
brought his grain across the border
line at night to an American farmer
and later the American farmer
brought 1t to market. In this manner
suspicion was not aroused and the
tracks were well covered.
In smuggling barley across the line
there is a gain of 40 cents a bushei to
the producer, the difference in price
between American and Canadian mar

MISSING HORSES
ARE RECOVERED

Minot N. D., Oct. 5.--The team Of
horses and buggy which were taken
from Seoheld's livery barn last Fri
day afternoon by two men who said
they were going out for q short trip
but which were not returned, were
found at Max yesterday.
According to MIR. Sconeld, J. p.
Laird and M. Lashle appeared at the
barn Friday afternoon and said that
they represented Fairbanks g. Co. of
Chicago and that they wanted q rig
to take business trip in, They said
they would return the same evening.
They did not return according 10
schedule, however, nor the next, or
the next day, and Mr.. scofsld finally
put the matter into the hands OF Sher-
ln Kelly. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Scofield received a letter signed by
one Of the men at Bismarck In which
was stated that IL he would go to a
certain livery barn at Max he would
find the horses and rig there. The
instructions were recovered.
There la still another side to the
story, however, for 1t appears that at
the time the men got the horses from
Scoheld they also went to RoelTs
hardware store, where they rented
several guns. The guns have not been
recovered with the other property and
both MFR. Rssll and Sheriff Kelly ara
looking for Laird and Lashls for the

Valley City Patriot: One day last
week a good looking. but rather seedy
individual came into The Patriot once
to get q lob printed. An examination
OF the copy showed that what he
wanted printed was a recipe for maxi
ing whisky" The basis Of the dope
was pint Of common drugstore
whisky, to which was added a couple
Of gallons of rainwatar, tobacco and
sundry poisonous and narcotic drugs.
The stun was warranted to make
drunk quick. The fellow no doubt
wanted 70 sell the recipes to blind
piggers. He was informed that he
could not get them printed at this
ONCE; he was given some free advice,
and Immediately the phone was busy
to see that he didn't get them printed
anywhere else In the city. This is the
kind OF dope that In being sold to

NouNCEp-ALL- DETAILS NOT
ENTIRELY PERFECTED.

Grand Forks, N. d.. Oct. 6.--Action
in the Mooney win contest. inaugur-
ated in the federal court last May
i has been dismissed. Order for the dis
rnissal is contained In a statement
filed with Miss Helen Hamilton, the
local clerk of the federal court. and
s In this order 1t IL stated that settle
ment LIS pending.
The action involved the estate OF
tina late w. J. Mooney Of Langdon
and was instituted by Mrs. Oakeila @.
{ Moosey, the widow, and who has been
! welded to Clinton Frazier, wealthy
Philadelphia attorney. Mr.. Mooney
was a victim In the collision Of the
Inflated steamer Republic Just out
. of New York harbor In 1909.
No announcement has been made
of the terms OF the prospective settle
nent, but 1t Ia understood that they
are satisfactory TO both parties.
Under the terms OF the viii that
mhe sought TO have set aside, Mrs,
Mooney would not receive as income
from the estate Of her Diseased nus
band during a period Of eight years,
the document that has been urearthed
providing that in the event that she
remarked within ten years, then her
share Of the income should so to his
son up to the close Of the ten year
period. Mr.. Mooney was killed in
i1DOs. thus the son would have re-
leetved the income from the estate
eight years. AT the end Of the ten
year period the estate was to be d.
lvided equally between Mrs. Mooney
and her stepson-
Removed from Deck.
] The VIII making this unusual pro-
Rvtaion was drawn in 1905, but Mrs.
Mooney Frazier contended that there
was another will drawn In 1908 and
that by the terms OF that will she
was made the sole heir TO all OF the
estate outside OF the life insurasce'
and further, she contended that this
VIII was removed from her deceased
husbands desk after his death.
Mrs, Mooney made an effort to Sc
cure a release from her stepson, John
Mooney from the provisions Of the
nrst win, but this release was not
granted and hence the action was
launched. The income during the Pc |
Rod is question win be between $780,
