From O0tteF3 ; o3tUIdAy NIynI
Last Two stanzas
o Scotia! my dear, my native soil
For whom my warmest wish to Heaven 10 sent!
Long may thy hardy sons Of rustic toll
Be blest with health, and peace, and sweet con-
tent!
And, oh! may Heaven their simple lives prevent
From luxury's contagion, weak and vile;
Then, howe'er crowns and coronets be rent,
virtuous populace may rise the while, -
And stand wall OF fire around their much-loved
Isle.
Thou! who poured the patriotic tide
That streamed thru Wallaces undaunted heart;
Who dared to nobly stem tyrannic pride,
Or nobly die, the second glorious part,
(The patriots God, peculiarly Thou art, u.
His friend, inspirer, guardian and rewsrdD
Oh never, never Scotia's realm desert,
But still the patriot, and the patriot-bard,
In bright succession raise, her ornament and
guard!

AT ST.. Peters Church

The Rev. G. Bertram Runnalls,
curate in charge of St. Peters
church in this city, delivered two
exceptionally fine sermons at the
| regular Sunday services last Sun
day. His subject at the morning
service was ''The Faults of Mod
ern Society," and in his pleasing
and forcible delivery he brought
before his congregation many OF
the true conditions existing at the
present time in our so-called soci-
ETY. of today. To have heard this
sermon was to receive many new
thoughts that seldom enter the
mind of the average person in our
hurry through life.
Atthe evening service the con-
gregation listened to very able
and scholarly address on the His
tory of the Christian Church from
the Third to the Fifteenth Centu-
~" During the entire lecture
the facts presented were referred
to citations from the Scriptures
making the lecture an authentic
history of the Christian church
during this epoch.
Since coming to this parish Rev
Runnalls has made an especial eff
fort to arrange the Sunday even
ing services for the people outside
of the parish and his efforts have
certainly been successful judging
from the increasing attendance at
these services. The church has
arranged the form of evening
prayer and service on leaflets
which will be found in the pews
of the church and these will
greatly aid those of the congrega-
tion who are not familiar with the
form Of service in the prayer
books. We understand that an
nouncement of these Sunday SER
vices and sermons at St. Peters
church will be given to the press
Of the city hereafter so that peo-
pie who may be interested in
these services may be able to keep
posted and arrange their attend
ance accordingly.

DEPUTIES HAVE
REAL HOT time
DEPUTIES JARSlAD. STANTON AND
FRANK BOYD HAVE WARM TIME
ARRESTlNC RUSSIAN

Deputies j. L. Jarstad and A.
w. Stanton and Frank Boyd had
lively time Monday when they
arrested Charlie Herman, a Rus
sian living west of town. Last
Saturday Herman brought four
horses to town for sale, as we un-
derstand it. He placed them in
the corral back of the Boyd livery
barn. As it happened Sam Boyd
had first mortgage on the horses,
given him by Max Burkoyski, a
young Russian who was run over
and killed by a load of rock some
time ago. After the death of the
son the father came over and de-
cided to prove up the claim and
pay the debts incurred by his son.
Our readers will remember the re-
port of his death. His team ran
away with him and he was thrown
from his wagon and injured. In
some way the prairie caught on
fire and he was burned. After
this Herman had charge of the
horses and brought them in Sat
urday as stated. Boyd took pos
session of the animals and put
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1911-01-26

them in his barn. Saturday noon
Herman and several Of his friends
went to the barn and took the
horses, there being only one man
in charge at the time. They
struck west and were followed by
Deputy Jarstad and Frank Boyd,
armed with replevin papers.
When they overlook the Russians
they would not stop so the boys
had to come back for warrant.
Armed with the warrant Jarstad
Stanton and Frank Boyd went to
the Herman home Monday and
Immediately upon landing the fun
commenced. Stanton was the
first laid up. He claims that he
slipped on the ice and sprained his
knee. There was a rumor that he
was knocked down by a broom
stick in the hands of Mrs. Her
man. Jarstad and Boyd went in
to the house and got hold of Her.
man. Mrs. Herman proceeded to
land on both of them with the
broomstick and when this was ta-
ken from her a frying pan was
brought into use. At last one of
the boys brought the butt of his
six shooter into use and after it
connected with Herman's head
they were enabled to get him out
side. Alter a few more rounds
the handouts we're put on Her
man and he was brought to town.
He was let out on $1,000 bonds and
will have his hearing today. The
charge is, obstructing an officer in
the discharge of his duty.

Also number of the big men OF the

they have never before estimated Taft

Flow gently, I'll sing thee song in thy praise;
MY Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Flow gently, sweet Alton, disturb not her dream.
Thou stock dove whose echo resounds tho the

Ye wild whistlng b]ackbirds in yon thorny den,
Thou green-crested lapwing, thy screaming for

How lofty sweet Alton, thy neighboring hills,
For markd with the courses OF clear, winding rills
There daily wander noon rises high,
My focks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye.
How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below,
Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blOw;.
There oft as mild ev'ning weeps over the lea,
The sweet-scented birk shades my Mary and me-.
Thy crystal stream, Alton, how lovely it glides,
And winds by the cot where my Mary resides;
How wanlon thy waters her snowy feet lave,
AS gathering sweet aowrets she stems thy clear

Flow gently, sweet Alton, among thy green braes,
Flow gently, sweet river, the theme OF my lays;
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Flow gently, sweet Alton, disturb not her dream.

ity Bill Proposed.

Amendments with real teeth in them
are being prepared for the bin for the
publicity OF campaign expenditures, and
IL they are adopted by the Senate. as is
predicted, the republican body will go
the democratic House one better in that
legislation.
It had been expected that the cam
paign publicity measure would be acted
upon in the Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections yesterday morning,
but the subcommittee reported that 1t
was not ready to submit the final drafts
Of the amendments It favored and asked
further time.
The amendments, it is understood, are
designed to make the measure more dras-
tic and stringent One will provide that
campaign expenditures must be made
public before primaries as much as be-
fore elections; another Will strengthen
the corrupt practices feature of the bill
to make promises of office or similar
favors as much an offense as promises OF
money. The drafting of the additional
features is in the hands OF Senators Ken
yon and Kern.
