TRIES TO WORK
SMOOTH GRAFT.
NEARLYSUCCEEDS

Bottineau News: During the first
week of June, John Hamilton Of Lords
Lake was killed by the kick of horse.
In few days young fellow giving
his name as G. F. Mefford and claim
ing to be from Bemidji, Mimi, ap-
peared on the scene. He wanted to
buy the farm, and although he had
mo money with him he had money in
the bank at Eemidji." I'm order to
clean the matter up quick and without
cost of Mrs. Hamilton" he had him.
self appointed administrator. He also
needed horses and machinery and got
them of her on a promise to pay. 1t
seems that some of the nightbors
proved easy, too, and let him have
stuff on a promise to pay. Having
bought the farm he at once began to
make his home there, and being a
good and kind man he told Mrs. Ham
ilton not to look for any other home
but to stay right on the farm. He
was flying pretty high and had every.
thing coming his way till he made a
fatal misstep. The game was too big
for a man of his caliber. His pur-
pose evidently was to beat the poor
widow out of her property, but the
game was either too large or too new
for him. He made criminal advances
to her. but she fought him off and
went to the neighbors, who aroused
her to a realization of what kind of
man she had been harboring and
she had him arrested Sunday charged
with attempted rape His hearing
came up Wednesday before Justice
Smithson, who bound the fellow over
to the district court under $1,000, fail
ing to secure which he is now in Jail.
He is quite we'll dressed, smooth look
ing gent, perfect stranger to this
section. An attempt will be made at
once to recover to Mrs. Hamilton all
her property. The people of Dunseith
and Lords Lake are considerably
worked up over the matter.

ating a Curtiss aeroplane owned by
F. G. Kenworthy of GRAND Forks,
was dashed to the ground here this
eveNQg while attempting a flight,
and Mdly stunned. He regained con-
seriousness after ten minutes, and
though dazed appeared to be recov.

Keene was in the air some twenty
feet and had travelled about 5000
yards when the aeroplane suddenly
dipped and had turned over when it
struck the ground, throwing the avia-
tor with considerable force. Keene
is an instructor in the school of avia-

brought here by F. G. Kenworthy to
fill a contract with the Park River
Fair association.
Kenworthy and Mccoy of Grand
Forks had built an aeroplane along
the Farnum type, but Keene decided
it was too heavy to fly and accord

INVADING THE
PACIFIC SLOPE

SPOKANE, WASH, July eff the
voters of the Pacific slope country are
not thoroughly familiar with all the
political and other issues of the COM
ing presidential contest, following the
harvesting of the crops this season,
it will not be the fault of the spell
binders. The number of prominent
men planning the trip next fall might
lead some to think the way to the
White House is through the North
western and Pacific states.
President Taft is due some time in
September, and may pass a day or
more in Spokane. Others coming
earlier or later are: Governor Jud-
son Harmon of Ohia; Champ Clark,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives; United States Senator Gore of
Oklahoma; United States Senator
Williams of Mississippi; Congressman
William Sulzer Of New York; United
States Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-

Bourne of Oregon; United States Sen
ator Borah of Idaho; United States
Senator Poindexter of Washington,
and several others from Middle-west-

MAUD MULLER IS
in NORTH DAKOTA

Minneapolis Journal: The original
of Whittier's barefoot boy with
cheek CT tan" lives in Minneapolis. He
is Harry C. Whittier, 406 Palace build
ing, grand nephew of John Greenleaf
Whittier.
Mr.. Whittier recently was induced
to admit that he furnished the insplr-
alton for the poem being addicted in
youth both to bare feet and tan. He
also admitted he still is partial to a
"cheek of tan" and that once upon
a time the barefoot feature was his
particular joy. The gift of song, how
ever, lie emphatically denied.

"Maude Muller" who was girl of
marked beauty when she lived in Mas

her son to pay her visit, but was

KNOWS HUSBAND
IS GUILTY But
CAN'T PROVE It

JAMESTOWN, N. D., July 6.--To be
married to a man whom you know
has another wife and yet to be un-
able to prove the fact is the unusual
predicament of Hannah Larson, who
through her attorney has instituted
an action in the district court to have
her marriage annuled.
Hannah Larson was married in this
county a few years ago, and after liv-
ing with her husband for some time
learned that he had never secured a
divorce from his first wife and that
she was still living. Immediately
thereafter Larson disappeared, and it
has been impossible to find him and
bring him into court.
The only testimony that the wife
can adduce with reference to the big
amy of her husband is hearsay- and
when she came into court few days
since the attorney stated, on behalf
of his client, that it was not expected
that a decree annuling the marriage
could be made by the Judge upon the
showing of plaintiff, but that it was
desirable to take her deposition so
L1ldC she COulu leave All NoAoAt% "
continue her search for evidence
against her HUSBAND
The testimony of the plaintiff was
therefore taken, and now the country
is being secured to obtain the addi-
tional evidence necessary to complete
the proof of bigamy.
The records of the courts in several
of the counties of this state have been
searched in an endeavor to locate the
decree of divorce which defendant al
legged he obtained from his first wife,
and no trace of such action has been
found.
Her attorney expects to take the
deposition of the first wife of the de-
PENDANT whom it is believed resides
in a small Canadian village, and other
dispositions will also be taken to as
sist the plaintiff to relieve herself of
a marital bond which is abhorent to
her.

settlers APPEAL
I0THE RAILROADS

Bowman Citizen: To bring relief
to the suffering claim holders and set
tiers in portions of northwestern
South Dakota, efforts are being made
to get the Milwaukee and Northwest
ern railroads to extend their lines
during the summer. Letters have
been written to President A. J. Earl
ing of the Milwaukee urging him to
continue west the extension from
Faith at once, and also to President
Marvin Hugnitt of the Northwestern
suggesting the necessity of similar
action by that line northeast from
Newell. Both roads have rights of
way. Surveys and other preparations
for the extensions were to have been
made this spring, but uncertain finan-
cial conditions caused the postpone
ment OF the work.
In Perkins, Harding, Butte and
Meade counties the drouth has been
severe and daily applications to the
county commissioners for financial re-
lief are being made. The last IL
months have been the driest this Sec
ton of the country has known since
it's first settlement over 80 years ago.
1t is urged that if construction work
of even 25 miles by each railroad
could be carried on during the next
eight months, and preference in en-
ployment be given to actual settlers,
in order that they might be able to
sustain themselves. both the railroads
and the settlers would benefit by the
move, especially since the railroads
intend making the extensions soon.
Business and commercial clubs are
taking hold of the project and will
cooperate to have the railroad ex.
tend their lines this summer 1t is
possible that committee from the
Deadwood Business club will be sent
to Chicago to see the railroad officials
personally.

IN THE HAY FIELD.

The first fortnight of July was
once a period dreaded by the Amer
lean small boy. To be sure, it was
relieved by the turbulent and explo-
sive joys of July 4. But every other
day, and often in the consecrated
hours of the patriotic holiday, there
was the hay to pitch and rake.
By one of the mystic dispensations
of Providence, the small boy was put
to work at the most severe tasks.
While the older men were down on the
barn floor, cooled by fresh breezes
from the wide doors, the youngster
was relegated to an inferno on the
upper hay mows, where he must stow
hay under the caves. With the air
stuffed with hot dust from innumer-
able grass pollen, with no breath from
out doors in that Sitting furnace,
with athletic men below gaining a
certain satisfaction from covering him
out of sight in forkfuls of hay, his
condition was indeed deplorable.
But still there were alterations.
The can of iced water sweetened with
New Orleans molasses, and stirred to
vivid taste by ginger, was as nectar
to the gods after that torrid expert.
ence.
Today, the youth is apt to sit in
the hammock while Swedish and Pol
ish farm hands perform these tasks
lightened by modern machinery. But
certain stern fiber of dauntless res
olution that crept into his fathers
soul from these experiences may be
missing in the son.

convinced ]. E. Rudersdorf, manager
of the Spokane Humane society, that
the co-called mad dog cases, reported
every summer in various parts OF
the United States and Canada, are
nothing more than instances Of pois-

and mango. He declares there never
has been an authenticated case OF

saying also that scientific analysis OF

the country has developed the fact
that the affliction generally is poison

but never rabies.
There never has been case of

ROBERT TODD LINCOLN, ONLY SURVIVING
CHILD OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
writer recalls day in boyhood wher
his father said to him during the adj
mfnistration Of President Arthur:
"Well, Robert Lincoln is going to be
our next president"
"Why?" asked the boy. How do
you know?''
Because" answered the man, "he
Is the son Of his father, and, moreover,
he is good man for the place."
But Bob Lincoln would have none of
1t. He kept on practicing law in Chi
cago, where he still resides, and let
the mentioners keep on mentioning
him. He did absolutely nothing to
boost his own political fortunes. Why
/ know now since l have grown up.
This Robert Todd Lincoln possesses in
considerable degree that quality which
more than any other characterized his
illustrious father. Moral honesty is the
quality meant. Commercial honesty,
business honesty, is quite another quail
ity. Moral honesty lies deeper Abra-
ham Lincoln never did and never
would accept any favor which was
based upon the achievements Of any
other man. His tub stood on its own
bottom. He padded his own canoe.
And Robert Lincoln, after him, has re-
fused to take political preferment
based upon the reputation Of his ia
Their. Now at sixty-seven years of age,
eleven years older than was his father
when the Booth bullet cut him down,
Robert Lincoln no longer is mentioned
for the presidency.
President Garfield made Mr.. Lincoln
his secretary of war when the latter
was only thirty weight years old. Lincoln
did not seek the appointment. He had
shown his ability as a supervisor in
Chicago and as lawyer. When Garfield
fell before an assassin's bullet and
Chester A. Arthur succeeded him Rob-
ert Lincoln was the only member of
the Garfield cabinet who was retained.
and at the end of Arthur's administra-
ton he was the only member of Ar
thurs cabinet whose work was wholly
approved by the public.
Back to Chicago and his law offices
went Lincoln, but when Benjamin Har
rison became president be made Lin

not seek the post.
