ODD FELLOWS GET
A unique GAVEL

Glendale, n. D., Aug. 21.-on his re-
turn from a trip to the Pacific coast,
L. W. Dean brought with him gavel
for presentation to the Odd Fellows
lodge Of this city. 1t was sent to the
lodge by ]. NJ. Caddis, who for twenty
ave years has been a member of the
Glendale lodge but who has resided
at Seattle, Wash, for many years, al
though still retaining his active mem
bership in this lodge. The head of the
gavel is made from a walrus tooth,
while the handle is made Of Honduras
mahogany, taken from the hull of a
ship wrecked years ago in Alaskan
waters. The gavel is unquestionably
the handsonest possessed by any lodge
of the order In the state and Is very
highly valued by the members for its
intrinsic value, but also as a remem-
brance of the donor. Suitable resolu-
tions Of acceptance and thanks were
passed by the lodge and forwarded to
Mr.. Caddis, jewel of the order which
is presented to those members who
have been members Of the order in
active standing for period of twenty
five years. The badge is very hand
some and is emblematic both of the
order and the length OF his member
ship.

Rev. S. A. panford.

The Camp Meeting Bulletin for Mt.
Lookout camp meeting in Ohio has this
to say of DR.. Danford, now down there
preaching in their camp meeting:
Few men bring to a camp such a
benediction as Brother Danford.
HE Is not here on trial. He proved
his worth last year. He is not only
strong preacher but is also very
tactful.
He has the reputation of taking
new districts and making them the
best in the conference. This he did
with Fargo District, and now the same
is being done in Bismarck district. He
is one Of the start district superintend-
ents of the west. The blessing of such
a man to camp meeting is inesti-
mable. 1t has been the effort of the
camp meeting board to secure men who
are actively engaged In the building up
of the church.
I'VE find this in the person OF Rev.
S. A. Danford of North Dakota"

WINTER WHEAT
A SUCCESS

Devils Lake, N. d.. Aug. 21.-Frank
Pitcher threshed out thirty acre
field Of winter wheat. and he is well
satisfied with the results. The grain
has been ready to thresh over three
weeks, but on account OF the delay in
getting a machine. and the late rains,
he did not get started until Saturday
morning. He says that the birds ate
a lot Of the grain while in shock, and
that some OF IL shelled out in handling
so many times on account of the rain,
but that the held turned out nearly
twenty bushels per acre. Had the
wheat been threshed when 1t was
ready IT would have yielded better
than twenty bushels.
Mr.. Pitcher is q firm advocate of
winter wheat, and says this country
must come to 1t IL any money is to
be made in growing wheat. He will
pillow the land on which the wheat
was raised at once and sow 1t to wheat

GUN BATTLE ON
Street At FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D.. Aug. 21.-George
Jones, with an empty revolver, Officer
Treacy with loaded six-shooter and
Fred Strebig, were the principals in an
exciting time which occurred when
Jones who had been taken in charge by
the patrolman, made a break for IL
berty and did the cross country dash
down Alpha avenue, being finally
beaten at the corner of Seventh street
and international avenue by the Sire
big lad.
Officer Treacy had arrested two men,
Jones and another whose name could
not be learned, while the two were
endeavoring to pawn a hat and other
articles in a DeMers avenue pawnshop.
He had started to march them to the
city jail when at the corner Of Alpha
avenue and North Third street, Jones
made his break for liberty. AS he was
the man whom Treacy most wanted,
he started after the fugitive. The
other man was left alone at the Da-
cotah Pharmacy corner, decided 1T was
a good time for him to hike, which he
proceeded to do, running through the
railroad tracks and making the Red
river in one jump to East Grand Forks
and immunity.
Treacy, who took after Jones, yelled
to him to stop, but Jones did not see
any reason for cutting down speed.
Treacy pulled his revolver and let fly
to one side of the flying man, the shot
only having the effect to make him run
faster. Jones finally ran into barn
on the Duggan property on Sixth
street, where he discarded the revolver
he was waving and threatening several
pedestrians with.
Fred Strebig, aged Is years, who re-
sides at 313 International avenue, then
appeared on the scene of action and
also started in the chase. He over
hauled Jones. jumped Off of his bicycle
put his arm around the fellows neck,
hauled back his arm and gave Jones a
Jack johnson knock out on the back
of his neck.
Jones, who had been somewhat un-
der the influence OF liquor when the
chase began, was all in when young
Strebig tackled him, which accounts
for the knockout given by the young
lad. Officer Treacy was soon upon
the scene and took secure hold on
the prisoner, finally landing him at
the jail

BOSSY IS QUEEN
ABOUT BUCHANAN
FARMERS ARE REJOICING OVER
The STEADY INCOME FROM
DAIRY PRODUCTS.

Buchanan, N, D.,.Aug. 21-Ten times
last years amount OF cream is being
shipped from this station. Five hun
dred dollars a month is being re-
oeived here for cream where last year
only $50 a month was received.
1t Is not necessary TO argue with
some of the farmers here that dairy
ing pays. They have fully demon
strated that fact and are sticking to
Dossy like to a brother in distress
Every cloud has It's silver lining
and when you can feel the Jingle of
silver and actually handle tit does
not seem quite SO bad as If 1t were
otherwise.
Farmers in this portion OF the coun-
ty are enthusiastic believers in dry
farming methods by means of tho
dairy. Every one that can secure u
COW is rejoicing In the steady in
come derived. Each week the little
cream check pays a grocery bin and
assists In numberless other WAYS I'm
keeping down expenses. Banker Keeler
demonstrated the value of COWS upon
mis- farm when he was farming and
now he reJoices with bis neighbors ia
the receipt of remittances twice a
week for shipments of cream. The
butter from Mr.. Keeler's dairy al
ways was In demand at top prices
and the cows not only paid the gro
Gerry bill but also paid some of the
labor bills in harvest If they did not
pay the threshing bill also.
Last spring Emil Kolhscheen ar
rived here to open UP a large farm.
When he feared the wheat crop was
going back he went east and secured
car load of the best cows obtainable
and Immediately began to secure re-
turns from his investment. He knew
that with them there would be-
steady income regardless of the tenn
porary success or failure of small
grain raising, and his demonstration
Will undoubtedly be of much benefit
in inducing others to do similarly.
as rapidly as their circumstances will
permit.
Much of the cream from this sta
ton Is being shipped to st. Paul
where better market is secured and
better prices received than from
creameries in the state--strange as It
may seem.
A strong effort is being made TO Sc
cure a creamery at Pingree and when
that Is done it is hoped to have a
cream market close at home.

4 Grand Forks Times: The retire.
ment of Chief Justice David e. Nor
gan of the supreme court Of North
Dakota, which will take place at the
close of his present term, Jan. !, 1918,
will remove a man from the service
of the state who has been judge
ever since North Dakota was granted
statehood. Up to 1900 he was the
district Judge of Ramsey and adjoin-
ing counties, and since that time ne
his been on the supreme court bench
Justice Morgan has had unique
career in North Dakota, and even in
the state of wisconsin, where he came
from to this state. In that state he
served Ave years as the clerk of the
circuit court Of Sank county.
Born in the state of Indiana, he re-
NAMED there with his parents until
they removed to Sank county. His
education was gained in the public
schools there, in the Plattville acade-
my, and he had a special course Of
one year in the University Of WILSON,
sin In the meantime he taught school
at Irontown for one year and was
also principal of the Chiffon high
school for one year. His legal educa-
ton was acquired in the office OF
Judges Remington and Barker of
Baraboo, wis.
1t was in 1881, after he had re-
signed his Wisconsin clerkship that
Justice Morgan came to North Da-
kota and established a practice in the
city Of Grand Forks, coming here with
Judge A. H. Noyes OF Minneapolis, Of
more recent Alaskan fame. This part
nership existed only a year, however,
and Judge Morgan then removed to
Devils Lake, entering in a partnership
there with Judge MCGEE, afterwards
Of Minneapolis.
He had only been engaged in the
practice of law for one year when
he was elected to the position of
states attorney. In 1889 the year
statehood was granted. Judge Morgan
was elected to the district bench,
holding that position until 1900. In
that year he was nominated by the
republicans as candidate for JUS
tice Of the supreme court, received
the endorsement of the democratic
state convention and was elected with
out opposition. 1t is a notable fact
that in 1905, Judge Morgan once more
received the endorsement of both po-
litical parties, and was elected un-
opposed.
Since early this year and during a
portion Of last year Judge Morgan has
been unable to act in the capacity of
chief justice because Of illness and 1t
ig because Of this fact, and because
Of his desire to bring to a close his
judicial career, that he will retire in
1913.

as soon as possible so that It win get
up high enough this fall to furnish its
own protection during the winter. 1t
IL Mr.. Pitchers idea that 1t Is all right
to SOW winter wheat on stubble land
If it cannot be sown early enough
for it to get a good stand before IL
freezes up. But this year, when the
ground is in such perfect condition,
he thinks better results will be OBJ
tanned by blowing up the land and
turning down the weeds.
c. FL. Baker is another firm believer
in winter wheat. He was the first
man to experiment in winter wheat
in the county and it was due to his
agitation that others experimental.
He had good success this year, and
agrees with Mr.. Pitcher that winter
wheat is the thing.
1t Is evident that the farmers all
over the state are becoming interest
ed In winter wheat for both Mr.. Baker
and Mr.. Pitcher are receiving orders
for seed wheat as far west as
Williston.
