the dinner is decidedly the most important fea:
ture Of the program. for, of course, there is no
football game and no matinee such as many
Americans rely upon for Thanksgiving diversion,
and in the case of many of the exiles who OBJ
serve Thanksgiving overseas there is not even a
Thanksgiving religious service such as is uni.
versal at home.
1t is not merely, either. that the officers and
men of our army and navy have introduced the
Yankee Thanksgiving dinner to benighted lands
long in Ignorance Of it's delights. To be sure the
eplcurean bluejackets and the lads in khaki
have been responsible for much of this CASTRO
nomic. missionary work. but it is also a fact
that American diplomatic and consular officials,
and indeed all classes of Americans resident
abroad, have done their share to preserve all
the traditions of the Thanksgiving dinner as a
reality IN every transplanted home. Especially.
where there is a little american colony" in an
alien environment, Is the Thanksgiving dinner

But whereas the American Thanksgiving din
ner has been winning it's way around the world
1t has likewise come to enjoy more and more
prestige at home. The one EARRING note in any
present-day eulogy of the Thanksgiving dinner is
to be found in its greatly increased cost over
the expense involved for a corresponding menu

ing instead of domestic perplexities.
The one consolation, If not compensation in
th1s situation Is to be found in the knowledge
that our Thanksgiving dinners in this day and
generation are vastly better than the like holi-
day spread of years gone by. 1t is not so much

The business side of the problem OF supplying
a THANKSGIVING dinner for the American people
is by no means the least interesting phase OF
this subject. The city Of Chicago alone re-
ceiyes during the week or ten days before
Thanksgiving as many as half a million turkeys
valued In the aggregate. at wholesale prices, at
much more than a millions dollars. From Cape
Cod. Mass, the greatest cranberry growing dis
trict, there are shipped each autumn more than
one-third of a million car loads of cranberries,
and the major portion of this harvest hnds us
way to Thanksgiving dinner tables. Many car
loads of celery from Michigan and other states
swell the total cost of our Thanksgiving dinner
to millions.

Moline had driven into the Crooks
place about one o'clock Sunday
morning, had put up his team
there and spent the night, gett.
ing breakfast the next morning.
From there on the trail was
easily followed. Late Sunday
afternoon a mixed posse from
Wahpeton and Hankinson over
took the murderer near White
Rock. S. D. There were three
or four rigs of armed men COM
posing the pursuing party and
when Moline saw them he open
ed fire. The fire was returned
and finally one Of Moline's hors-
es was shot.
The murderer left his rig and
plunged across a big swampy
slough where the rigs could not
follow. He walked and ran for
about four miles further, during
most of which time the posse
could have dropped him at any
time.
Finally when it was seen that
the murderer was about to get
to the shelter of a straw stack,
it was decided that the time had
come to shoot the murderer
down.
The word was given and the
posse began shooting. The muir
derer returned the fire and
started on a run for the straw
stack. AS he turned his head a
steel bullet from an army gun, in
the hands of a Hankinson man,
struck Moline just behind the
right temple and came out just
behind the left temple and the
murderer fell dead as a stone.
The body was brought to Han
kinson and now lies in the city
Jail in charge Of Frank Budack,
one of Sheriff Moody's deputies.

Prof. Ries was better attended
than was any other political spiel
held in Bowbells in a good long
time. Most of the people in the
city were there, but the major

were some who came all the way
from Is to 20 miles to hear the
Socialist talk. The talk given by
Mr.. Ries was much on the same
order as most Of the other

were, and was loudly applauded

HORSE THIEF IS
CAPTURED At PORTAL
Sheriff Stainhofer Does Good
Work in Quickly Landing
A Bad Character

Pierre Remcourt, who claims
to have just come up from South
Dakota, was arrested Wednes-
day at Portal by the Canadian
mounted police on orders from
Sheriff Stainhofer of this county,
and was brought to Bowbells the
same afternoon to answer to the
charge of horse stealing pre-
ferred against him by Peter
Duhn, the Powers Lake livery
man.
At about one O'Clock Sunday
morning a day horse and also an
expensive saddle was stolen from
the livery stable and early the
next morning the sheriff in this
city was notified Of the fact and
given a description of both the
suspected man and the lost
horse. A warrant was issued by
a Powers Lake justice of the
peace, and Sheriff Stainhofer
Immediately got busy with the
phone. He learned that after
stealing the horse the thief went
to the farm Of Ole Slotsve, two
or three miles northwest of
Powers Lake and there turned
the stolen horse loose and stole
another animal which was of a
different color and continued on
his way with the new mount.
Mr.. Stainhofer also learned
during the following day that the
thief had eaten dinner Tuesday
noon at a farm seven miles west
Of 0rtaf, and figured that the
culprit was making his way to
Canada and would undoubtedly
stop at the boundary to have his
horse examined. In this matter
he was right. He phoned to the
police and asked them
to keep watch at the inspection
barn for a man and horse of the
description furnished by the
Powers Lake liveryman. and ear
ly Wednesday morning he re-
ceived a message from the police
to the effect that they had the
man.
Mr.. Stainhofer went to Portal
with an auto and brought the
man to this city late Wednesday
A hearing was held in
Justice Kopriva's court yester-
day forenoon and the prisoner
was bound over to the. district
court. He did not deny, commit
ting the crime and even went
30 far as to tell the sheriff how
he had done it.: He said, that he
had come from; South Dakota a
short time ago and had spent a
few days in Minot before going
to Powers Lake.

ING ANOTHER SALE |!
Will Again Save Burke County
People Many Hundreds of

R. T. Blenkner has turned
loose again and is slashing the
prices of practically everything
in his store. He is holding an
other sale to commence Saturday
morning and last until the fol-
lowing Saturday evening during
which time there will be thousf
ands Of people in Bowbells taking
advantage of the many bargains
he offers. During the sale held
by him the first part Of last
month people from all over
Burke county came to this city
and were able to save hundreds
of dollars in buying their win
ter's supply Of goods. The sale
to start Saturday will mean even
a greater saving to the people of
Burke country than the first one
did, and every reader of The
Tribune should make it a point to
come early and get the first pick
of the many articles on which
the prices have been
reduced to ridiculously low
figures. They should also tell
all their friends about it, as an
other sale like this will probably
not be held in Bowbells again
for many months. /
The proof Of the pudding is

asks is that you call at his store

MEETING
IS A HUGE SUCCESS
Burke County Pedagogs Hold
Very Instructive Session
at FlaxtOn Friday

The meeting Of the teachers
Of Burke county at Flaxton last
Friday was very we'll attended,
about sixty members beng pre-
sent. The papers were all we'll
prepared and rendered, and
many good lessons and ideas
were obtained by those who were
fortunate enough be there.
Considerable time was taken
up in drawing up and discussing
the constitution and bylaws, but
these were finally adopted and
will be printed in the near fut-
.ure for distribution among the
members. One of the articles in
the constitution, County Superin-
tendent Hecht tells The Tribune,
is that the date of the meetings
be set by the county superinten-
dent while the place will be de-
cided by majority vote of the
members Of the organization.
The next meeting will be held at
Portal some time in the spring.
AS these meetings are very
instructive all teachers in the
county should plan on being
present at Portal. The date will
be announced later.

The Tribune acknowledges a
pleasant call from it's old friend.
Mr.. Waall resides in section of
Burke country where the farm
ers were more fortunate with
their crops than were those liv-
ing in many other parts of the
county, though the crop raised
by Mr.. W. was not what could
be called a big one. The biggest
difficulty the farmers now are
experiencing, we learn from
Mr.. Waall, is the marketing of
the grain threshed. The roads
as a rule are devoid of snow in
some places making sleighing
impossible while in others the
snow is too deep to make hauling
with a wagon practicable, while
at the same time the roads have
been very slippery all over and
to haul any load at all with eth
er conveyance it was necessary
to have the horses shod all
around.
Bill Auffarth tells The Tri-
bune that he will not move to
to Beach, N. D., this fall as he
had intended doing earlier in the
fall. His plans were upset by
several things which came up
since his decision to make the
move, things now he will
remain here until next spring
and possibly move then. He
tells us that he will some time
during the winter hold an auc-
tion sale Of all his personal ef-
lfects with the exception of one
team and a wagon and will ship
this together with some house
hold goods to Beach at the time
of his removal to that place.

SHERIFF IS SHOT
AND INSTANTLY KILLED.
Richland County Sheriff Meets
Death Saturday While Per-
forming His Duty !:

Wahpeton, N. D., Dec. o.
Company I, North Dakota militia,
posses of deputy sheriffs and
scores Of armed citizens are to-
night securing the country south
of Wahpeton in search of John
Weldemeir, who this afternoon
shot and killed George E. Moody,
sheriff of Richland county, when
that officer attempted to serve a
warrante evicting Weldemeir from
the farm Of United States Mar
shal James Shea, seven miles
south Of this city. T.,
Weldemeir was found in the
Shea house this morning by the
tenant of the place, Jake Steffes.
Steffes left the place some time
ago to take up his residence on
the Stevenson farm a mile west.
This morning Steffes passed the
Shea place and seeing Weldemeir
in the house, ordered him out.
This he refused to do and Steffes
came to Wahpeton and obtained
a warrant for his eviction. Sne-
riff Moody, a deputy and the
driver of the rig, George Moore,
went to the Shea farm. Moody
approached the house and said
Come out of here. :" Upon this
Weidemeir demurred. but in a
few moments appeared at the cor
ner of the house with a shotgun.
With no warning he discharged
both barrels of his gun into She
-Moody's left side. The She
riff fell Immediately. :
As Sheriff Moody fell dead, the;
murderer covering the rest. of.
the sheriff. party with his shot
gun ran toward the Steffes team
in which the sheriff had made
this trip. With his gun across
his lap, the murderer lashed his
team into a run and drove north
across the country, ~ ~.
George Moore, the driver of
the sheriff's team arrived in
Wahpeton on horseback, a half
hour afterwards, and in almost
incoherent sentences managed to
utter his story Of the killing.
Mayor Eberly Immediately called
out Company l and under the
command of Captain Thomas
Thompson they armed Them
selves. Posses of citizens were
sworn by Chief of Police Deitz
and almost every available man
in the city set out on the man
hunt. In automobiles, on hors-
es, on foot hundreds of men are
today securing the country in
search Of the fleeing murderer.
Bring him back boys, dead
or alive,'' were the orders of
Mayor Eberly to the men as they
left the city. Posses made the
utmost haste this afternoon, but
the quick cover of night fell soon
and the search tonight is being
conducted under difficulties. At
a late hour nothing has been
heard of the man.
