Alleged Cass County Jail Breaker So
Pleads in Court.
Fargo. N. D., Oct. S1.-Harry
Burke, charged with breaking Jail
from the Cass county strong box was
arraigned and entered a plea Of not
guilty and being unable to furnish
a $3.50 bond, was remanded to the
Cass county Jail to await the next
jury term Of the county court, which
Judge Hanson says with the present
docket to go on, will not convene for
two months yet.
Burke is charged with breaking out
of the Cass county Jail, together with
two other prisoners. 1t is stated that
Burke is the man who obtained the
Key, which was introduced as evil
4lence yesterday, and the one who
opened the door and then summoned
two other prisoners, the three making
their getaway together. After
leaving the Jail the trio made for
the Minnesota side of the river and
then double-tracked into North Da-
kota again, going across the state to
Beach on the Montana line. It was
there that Sheriff Boyle succeeded in
trailing them to and where he cap
tured them after chase across the
state, single handed.
Against the advice of his attorney
yesterday afternoon, Burke pleaded
not guilty to the charge and asked
a jury trial, Judge Hanson informing
him that the next term would not con-
vene until two months hence. but
Burke evidently wanted more time
to think the matter over. and repeat
ed his demand for jury trial. He
was remanded to the county Jail In
default Of $3.50 bail.

Little Egypt for conditions prevail
there similar to those which have
made the Nile bottoms one OF the rich
est agricultural regions in the world.
In this little Egypt or Yellowstone
point as it is called, the farmers have
harvested thirty-iive bushels of wheat
to the acre, twenty bushels of flax
and made four cuttings of alfalfa with
a Weld Of six tons to the acre this
year, while many other farmers in the
region back from the river have not
raised enough grain to make it worth
thrcshing. BY a curious freak of ma

a bend near Buford, n. D., before it
ernpties into the Missouri. that its wa

it happens that it runs parallel to the

two rivers there lies a strip oil land

Annually in the spring, since the fall

PASTOR MAKES WAY
FOR YOUNGER MAN
Chicago Minister Tells Congregation
that New Church Means Ends
of His Usefulness.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Declaring that
when his congregation decided to
building new church he felt it time
for him to make way for a younger
man, the Rev. Frank Newhall White,
pastor of the new First Congrega-
tional church, South Ashland avenue
and Washington Boulevard, yesterday
announced to his congregation his in
tention of resigning.
He stated that he had accepted a
call to the Lowry Hill Congregational
church of Minneapolis. His resigna-
ton is effective Dec. 81.
The Rev. Mr.. White was made pas
tor Of the New First Congregational
church when the church was formed
from consolidation Of the Union
Park Congregational church and the
First Congregational church in De-
cember, 1910. Prior to that time he
was for seven years pastor of the I'm
ion Park congregation. The New
First Congregational church decided
at a meeting short time ago to erect
parish house to cost about $4,000
and to make other Improvements in
the church.
In announcing his resignation the
minister declared that these broaden
ed plans of the church had instigated
his resignation.

to the work of carrying out the plans
of the congregation and that he felt
he should make way for a younger
man. The resignation will be con-
sidered at a meeting of members of

able here because of the establish
ment of the Williston irrigation pro-

a nature and so important that they
will be able to adopt steps that will
result in the establishment OF new

Government IS
GETTING VALUE
Information Relative to
Coal Mining Being OBJ
tanned at Williston.


Buford, N. D.,l Oct, J31.-Out of an
experiment in coal mining, which the
government is making in North Da-
kota, may come suggestive data for
application in the final settlement of
the Alaska coal question.
AS an auxiliary to an irrigation
project the department Of the interior
Williston, N. D., the government owns
and operates a coal mine. 1t pays it's
miners good wages, operates model
mine, uses all modern safety appli-
ances and produces fuel at cost of
SLIGO per ton.
In its mining enterprise the govern
ment does not enter the market in
competition with private operators.
The mine simply furnishes fuel for
rigation project. AS the retail price
of coal in Williston is $3.50 per ton,
the government saves 80 cents u ton,
and is always certain that it will not
suffer from a shortage of fuel.
The conditions under which the
miners live and work'are nearly ideal.
The men are worked eight hours a
day, six days a week, and are able
to earn 500 a month above living
expenses. On the average the miners
make SIS a day, the schedule being
so cents a ton for room work, 20 cents
in ten-foot entries, and so cents in
sevenfoot entries.
For the single miners the govern
ment furnishes free barracks, the men
furnishing only their own bedding. A
"mess" is provided where meals are
given for a quarter each. Neat cot
tages are provided for the married
miners at rental of $40 month.
AS to the safety of the mine itself,
the interior department has sought to
develop model mine. Adequate exits
are arranged SO that entombment is
considered impossible. All modern
safety appliances have been installed,
and a system of ventilation has been
put in by which the air in tunnels
1000 feet underground is kept almost
as fresh as that ON the surface.

County Commissioners of Burke
County Elected for Same Period.
Bowbells, N. D., Oct. 31.-Under
a ruling which has just been handed
down by Attorney General Miller, the
county commissioners of Burke coun-
ty will hold office for a period Of four
years. The board was elected last
fall, Burke being one of the new
counties of the state, and in the cleo
ton no provision was made as to the
length of the terms of the several Of
ficials.
1t had practically been decided by
the board Of commissioners that they
would draw cuts to see which Of them
would hold for the four-year period,
and which would hold for the two
year period. The attorney generals
ruling, however, makes the drawing
Of cuts necessary and the four COM
:nissioners will hold till January I.

WANT A HIGHWAY
Morton County Has Difference
ONiniOn rs tn Best Route

Morton County Has Difference OF
Opinion as to Best Route.
Mandan, N. D., Oct. 31.-Sentiment
favoring the construction of a county
highway to connect Mandan with the
western end Of Morton county has
crystalized to such an extent that
definite decision will be made in the
matter at the next meeting Of the
board of county commissioners. Sew
eral road routes have been proposed,
but as yet no entirely satisfactory
plan has been reached.
Under present conditions round
about route must be taken to reach
Dickinson and other points to the
west by automobile or team. There
is also the feature Of poor roads for
farmers for consideration, and that
proposition has been responsible to
at least a certain degree in bringing
about the present movement.
The Mandan Automobile club has
proposed a highway following the
course Of the Northern Pacific right
of way, but objection has been raised
to that proposition and there will be
an interesting fight waged before
some route is definitely determined
upon.

MORE STRINGENT
Probable That Counties Will Use More
Care in Giving Seed Grain.

Probable That Counties Will Use More
Care in Giving Seed Grain.
Mandan, N. D., Oct. 31.-More
stringent rules probably will be adopt
ed by several counties of the state
in doing out seed grain next spring
under the terms of the state law.
The fact that some Of the counties
are experiencing no little trouble in
making collections from few farm
ers is responsible for the proposed
Tightening of the lines.
Morton county was one of the coun-
ties that did not furnish a great deal
Of seed grain, holding off until the
latest possible moment and until
farmers had exhausted other resourc-
es. When the grain was finally grant
ed it was found that most of the
farmers had supplied themselves
through other channels. In some
counties the seed grain proposition
was handled loosely and there trou-
BILE is being given at present.
Better showings upon the part of
the farmers asking for seed grain
under the lien law plan will be de-
manded in 1873. There will, howev-
er, be fewer demands for grain next
year because Of the generally better
crops this season.

Supreme Court Refuses to Enter Final
Decree in Debt Case.
Washington, Oct. 31.-The supreme
court of the United States today de-
clined to enter a final decree in the
Virginia. Virginia debt case,
claiming that the time has not come
for proceeding to determine all ques-
tons left open by its decision last
spring.
Justice Holmes announced the de-
cision of the court. He said that
neither doubt as to whether West Vir-
ginia should take the initiative in a
conference, which the court suggested
be held, when it decided West Virginia
ought to bear part of the debt nor
doubt as to the power of the Virginia
debt commission to act in the confer
ence, were just grounds for delay.
If the parties in the suit consented
to a final decree, the justice said, the
supreme court is not likely to inquire
very curiously into questions Of pow-
err However, the justice added, a
state cannot be expected to move with
the celebrity of a private business man.
1T is enough" said he, ''if it pro-
| ceeds. in the language of the English
chancery. with all deliberate speed"

get out of their way. He managed
to avoid being struck by the wagon
tongue and reached for the bride of

Elder Smith, the colored divine who
was in Devils Lake some weeks ago
will probably revisit this city on his
return trip according to the following
from the Great Falls Tribune:
presiding Elder William Smith,
the colored man who in Fergus Falls
posed as a land buyer and in Grand
Forks as an attorney and who put
himself up at Great Falls as a minis
ter of the gospel, is again back in the
fold of the Shepherd Pontet.
After having been twice arrested in
this city, one for vagrancy and once
for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct and having been shipped out of
the city with a ticket providing trans
portation as far as Harve, Smith again
showed up in the city yesterday fore
noon.
Mr.. Smith had managed to reach
Harve all right but his coming had
been heralded and he was not in the
town long before he was grabbed by
the police of that place who at once
decided that they could not use him
and that Great Falls boosted betted
opportunities for a man of his stand
ing than did the metropolis of Chou
teau county.
Accordingly the next train that pas
sed through Harve in this direction
bore Smith back to the Electric city
upon transportation furnished by the
authorities of that place. Use here
again." said the ancient colored gen.
tleman as he was stopped by Police
man Locker after he had unloaded
h Golf ha To
man Locker was tickled almost to
death at the return of the prodigal
and he escorted the old gentleman
down to the Office of Chief Pontet. All
the way to the station the hungry Wis
itor saw visions of the fatted calf and
he had no more than reached the sta
ton than he asked for something to
eat, volunteering that information
that the grub in the Harve Jail was
something outrageous At the sta
ton he unfolded a long paper which
had been given him in Harve to de-
liver to the chief of police of this city
and which was found to be a sub
scription paper with the following
heading:
"Harve, Mont, Oct 27, 1911.
To Chief of Police, Great Falls,
Mont.
I'VE. the undersigned citizens of
Iavre. Mont, do contribute the
amounts set opposite our respective
names to defray the expenses of one
Rev. Sambo Smith, an undesirable of
Great Falls, Mont, back to his former
home"
This paper was headed by Judge
Smith and George Heron, chief of
police, and contained long list Of
other names, the total subscriptions
amounting to $50.
Smith did not have any of the
money alleged to have been raised by
this list so it is presumed that after
paying the small amount required for
a railroad ticket the circulators of the
list devoted the balance to paying for
refreshments
Not being satisfied with the name
the Harve police had bestowed upon
Smith, Sambo being too common
place and undignitied for a man Of
his nerve, Tailor Bjornstad entered up
the guest unler the name Of REV.
Sin Killing Smith, Mr.. Smith will
be heading towards other fields on
one of today's trains.

Construction Work
Valley City, N. D., Oct. 31-1n the
construction of the big bridge over
the sheyenne river east of Hannaford
it is stated that it will require over
200 loads Of sand, 1000 barrels OF
cement and some fifteen carloads of
piling to complete this mammoth
structural work! About eleven abutt-
ments will be required for the bridge
which will be about 5000 feet in
length. The Great Northern railroad
has had a big crew of men at work
on this bridge for some time and when
this is finished the rails and ties will
be laid in the westerly. direction. If
nothing tinterferes it is expected that
the laying of steel and ties will reach
New Rockford soon after the bridge is
built. The bridge over the James riv.
er at Dundas will need but little extra
work since the grading near there
is practically finished. The bridge
over the James river will not be very
high but over the Sheyenne river tho
highest point will be about $50 fee,
