ARRESTS ARE EXPECTED BUT
THE OFFICIALS DO NOT KNOW
IF THEY ARE RIGHT.

A. G.. Hunt of Derrick is feeling bet
ter these days, thank you. He had a
nice team of grey drivers, a new set of
harness and a buggy stolen from him
but now they have been returned
through the quick action of Sheriff
Mclean.
1t seems that man came to Hunt
for his team to go to Iona. AS the
man was a stranger Mr.. Hunt at first
refused but on the recommendation Of
another man, better known, the team
was lent with the understanding that
they be returned the next day. When
a couple of days had gone by and no
team Mr.. Hunt started the sheriff on
the trail, who located the outfit near
Webster in the possession Of farmer,
who claimed he paid $50 for them. The
farmer is in all probability out the
money as no trace Of the man taking
the rig has been found.-Hampden

ONE OF THE RED MEN FARMERS
WHO Is HAVING CONSIDER
ABLE SUCCESS.

Joseph Mathoi, an Indian owner Of
80 acres Of the best land in the county,
came in today with another load Of
grain, which he disposed of. In Mr..
Mathoi is found an example Of the
type of redmen, who, after they be-
come used to the American ideas of
civilization are to be numbered among
the more prominent of that race.
Off from a small farm Of 80 acres
this year he raised no bushels of bar
ley, 900 bushels of wheat and 735 bu-
shells of Oats. Like many Of the white
farmers and ahead Of many who have
not yet tried the corn crop, Mr.. Mathoi
planted few acres Of corn which he
said matured nicely and will furnish
him feed for the winter. He is the
owern of five head of good horses
quite number of hogs and chickens
! and has ample modern machinery te
run the place.
When asked who did the work, he
answered proudly that he sowed, work
ed the land and harvested the entire
crop himself and was not out penny
for labor to anyone. This crop whe,
sold will leave him snug sum in tn
bank and place him in shape to lay NJ
for old age, which he says he can SCI
ahead Of him.

Uses to be an extraordinary match next
Friday evening in the roller rink,
wien Farmer Jahrs, of Southern MIN
nesota, will meet P. H. srcGurren Of
Clary and Ole Hauge, agreeing to
throw the two men, two falls each i'll
an hour, the winner to take seventy
five per cent Of the gate receipts.
Farmer Jahns, who has been here for
several days, has an enviable reputa-
ton as wrestler, having met the best
Of them.
though he might Mt find any trouble in
throwing either one Of the wrestlers
who are to meet him in an ordinary go,
yet his challenge was to throw three or
four men in an hour, thus both Nc
Gurren and Hauge will get two chances
each in an hour.
The match promises to be thorough
ly on the square, as all the men are in
terested in the mat game and would
wrestle for the sport alone. It has
been long time since Devils Lake
fans hav chad a chance to witness a
real wrestling match, owing to the fact
that te frequency of matches previous
ly sort Of put blanket on them for a
while. The sport is gradually coming
to its own again, however, and with
this in view the match next Friday
evening was arranged. 80.
