Induce J. N. Wilson to Run.

There are two city commissioners
to be e'ected in the spring, the terms

to put up much of a fight for the Office.
Mr.. Vandenoever will possibly be a
candidate to succeed himself. An ef-

the city on conservative lines, and

out with a party to a dance in the
county recently. He was accompani-
ed by a young lady. They arrived at
the dance and "tripped the light fan
tastic" until the hour arrived when
they should depart. Another one of

for her company home. She told
him that she had given her promise,
but II the "other fellow didn't care
she would go with the last party
The latter approached
the "other fellow" and made him an
offer Of three dollars If he would
let him take the young lady home.
The other fellow was evidentally
short OF cash and said show me the
three dollars" The money was soon
In the hands Of the first party and the
young lady delivered to the latter.

Commissioner Mus says the Rates

Respectable Profit For the city.
Minot's water rates are too high,

so declares Commissioner Einar Mus
and he for one is ready to lower them,
He says that this will in all probality
be done early in the spring. The
water works department showed a
very respectable profit, earning some
thing like $4OO over all expenses dur
ing the first six months, and at that
much water was used in flushing the
sewers, etc., for which the city did
not receive anything. There were
not fourth az many taps a. there
win be either, and hundreds more Of
our citizens can just as we'll be served
with but trifle more expense.
Mr.. Mus is in favor Of charging q
minimum rate of so cents; dt s IS
cents now), but he would reduce the
rates Of from "a, 900 to 10000 gallons
materially, giving such users shout
the same rate as our hotels are re-
ceiving. This would induce our peo-
pc to use the water during the sum
mer months more generally for lawn
purposes, and after all we should en-
courage anything that will tend to
beautify our city.

SUMNERF|ELD
TURNED LOOSE

Lakota. N. D., Feb. 6.-The sensa-
tional evidence connecting Louis
Summerield with the murder of Ken
meth Mckenzie, of Aneta, failed to
materialize at the preliminary hear
ing here before Justice Folger. The
alleged confession was said to have
been made by Clyde Sperry, Of Aneta,
to States Attorney S. G. Skulason,
but young Sperry was not even plac-
ed on the witness stand. All the evi-
dence introduced was that Of the
father of the boy, telling OF the
dying statement of his son that two
men were his assailants. There was
nothing in the statement that con-
nected Summerfeld with the crime.
The only other witness examined was
DR.. Darrow, who testified as to the
cause of death. The state rested and
Summerfield was at once dismissed.
Alleged Confession.
Sperry's story, made public by
States Attorney Skulason, was a SEN
sational one in which he was alleged
to have told all the circumstances Of
pouring kerosene from the lantern,
which the Mckenzie boy was carry
ing, over the unfortunate lad. The
flames Immediately burst out a1d in
ficted the burns which resulted in the
death of young Mckenzie. According
to the statement made public, fear
had sealed the Sperry boys lips until
the time the confession was made.
States Attorney S. G. Skulason
stated that the witness Sperry had
gone wrong" Further than this he
had no statement to make and said
that there were no further develop
ments in the case in sight.

from Miss Bess Stevens one Of the

three of her fair companions, will be IN

from the Pioneer Press which we print
be.ow, and which is explanatory of the
object CT their visit. We don't know
whether the girls would consider mat
rimony Or not. We do know, how
ever, that they are looking for home
steads, and if four Of our many bach
elors who are living lonely lives ou-
on the prairies, could manage to con
fer with them upon their visit here,
the Independent might be able to pub

that you will defer your trip to Call
