Building Activity In the State.

Grand Forks, June 29.-Even
under the unfavorable crop and
financial conditions in the past
year, this rich state has con-
tinued to push forward and
build for the future. Her state
institutions have nearly all
found it necessary to construct
additional buildings. In COM
mercial lines also there has
been m II h progress, and
among the new buildings of
importance is the new hotel of
Devils Lake. A very handsome
three story brick and stone
building, fully equipped and
beautifully furnished, is the
new Great Northern hotel in
Devils Lake, which has just
been opened. Kenmare is now
considering the erection of a
fine new ten thousand dollar
city building, Minot is making
extensive improvements, num-
bers of townships are buildin g
substantial school buildings,
and taken all together the year
of 1911 will not be one of ar
rested progress at all. Under
favorable crop conditions, next
year will doubtedless be one of
the busiest building years that
the state has ever known.

CRIMINAL ASSAULT IS CHARGED
Was Arrested on Complaint Of
Mrs. Anne Hamilton; Held
to District Court.

A young man who gives his
name as G.. F. Mefford was ar
rested last Sunday on the
charge of assault with intent to
commit rape, the complaining
witness being Mrs. Annie
Hamilton, widow of the man
who was killed by a stallion
north OF Lords Lake on June 8.
Mefford, who is apparently
about 35 years old, claims to
hail from Bemidji, Minnesota.
Shortly after the death of John
Hamilton he obtained a bill of
sale of the personal property of
the Hamilton estate from the
widow and also a contract for
deed of the land. He did not
pay down any money but to
facilitate matters had himself
appointed a 8 administrator.
According to the stories told he
got busy selling off personal
property and obtaining goods
on the strength of his connec-
ton as administrator. O n e
story is that he bought lot of
groceries at Dunseith and later
sold them to~a hotelkeeper
there. There are other stories
of get-rich quick methods.
He made his home at the
Hamilton farm and abused the
confidence placed in him by
assaulting Mrs. Hamilton. She
was compelled to flee to a
neighbor's. The arrest of Mef-
ford followed. He was given
a hearing on Wednesday before
Justice Smithson and was held
to the district court and in de.
fault of bonds placed in the
county Jail. In the meantime
Public Administrator Rea is
trying to have the bill of sale
and contract set aside.

"GRAUSTARk."

The much discussed play 'Graus-

the week of Sept. 10, and local book
lovers and theatergoers will have an
opportunity of seeing and judging for
themselves the dramatized version by
Geo. D. Baker of George Barr Nc
Cutcheon's famous story. The au-
thor's readers are legion and they ral-
ly to the support of the play as unit
The opportunity for dramatic effect in
"Graustark'' is unparalleled in the
history of stage productions where
successful novels were the source Of
supplying TIE plot. James w. Castle,
who staged the original production,
was quick to see the possibilities Of
this startling story and arranged for
the theatrical rights, with the result
tnat today this romantic drama is the
most talked-of play in the realm Of
theaterdom.
The plot and characters are taken
bodily from the novel, and one who
has read. the book can see his favor
ties exactly as described by the au-
thor in his charming story. AS the
greater part Of this interesting adven-
ture takes place in a country where
picturesque dress is in vogue and
quaint architecture rules, it gives an
opportunity for display of scenic
splendor and gorgeous costumes This
has been taken advantage of by the
management to the extent that a
sixtyfoot carload of effects are util-
lied in the presentation Of this play.
