WILLIAM WAIT
KILLED At VELVA
PERIToNITIs SET IN FOLLOWING
A WouND-WAS WELL
LIKED.

velva, N. D., July 10.-yelva was
the scene of another tragedy when a
heavy bottle thrown by an unknown
party struck William Wait, a promi-
nent young man of this city in the
abdomen with fatal results. Portion
tits set In almost Immediately and
the young man succumbed
Waits brother, it is said got into
an alteration with several parties
and 1t is believed that the bottle was
aimed at him. The deceased happened
TO be an innocent bystander and when
the bottle was thrown he received it's
full force. Efforts are being made TO
apprehend the guilty party, but the
difficulty lies in discovering which one
of several did the deed. BY a process
Of elimination the authorities hope to
find the guilty man and a charge of
manslaughter win be preferred
against him. The affair has thrown
a gloom over the city as young Wait
was a prominent and industrious
young man and well liked by host
of friends. Funeral arrangements
had not been completed today.

fine Stock SHOW
At COURTENAY
MANY SPLENDID HORSES AND
CATTLE WERE SHOWN
THERE.

Courtenay, N. D.. July 10.-A stock
exhibit was given in this town which
was highly successful William Jones
had eight draft mares on the grounds
ranging from two to six years Of age;
Hans Nelson showed four draft mares
two and three years old, and J.. H.
Larson had two mares, all Percherons,
and it may be said that the horses
shown were as fine a bunch of ami
mails as were ever shown on the
grounds. Two stations Compile, fine
Percheron, belonging to William Jones,
and the Clydesdale stallion owned, by
R. H. Reid were admired by many for
their beauty and build.
In the cattle exhibit, James Reid
had three shorthorn cows and two
calves that were fine specimens Of
this breed of cattle. Mr.. Reid states
he has some twenty head of short
horns on his farm that are almost
equally as good as those shown by
him on the grounds. H. n. fuckers
Red Poll cattle gave ample evidence
of what can be done in the line of
raising show cattle in this state.
Among those shown by him was a
young cow, a 2-year- old heifer and the
7-months-old bull, Lord Percy. The
latter will quite likely be on exhibit at
every stock show in the state this year
and next year Mr.. Tucker expects to
enter him in the international stock
show in Chicago and this state. He
has a herd Of eighty-flve registered
Red Poll cattle on his ranch near Ken
sal and they are said to be the finest
bunch of registered Red Polls in the
state.

who was returning from Emerson via
st. Vincent. AS the story goes the car
was stopped at the end Of the ferry on
account OF the approaches being low,
and with the assistance of bystanders
was pushed on the ferry, with James
Kneeshaw at the wheel AS the rear
wheels struck the ferry the car shot
forward and leaped over the end Of the
ferry fully ten feet before it settled
to the bottom In about Ave feet of
water. Mr.. Kneeshaw stood by the
wheel until the excitement was over,
and emerged from the water as If from
a submarine craft. The fact that. the
application Of motive power worked
opposite to the car of similar make
he was used to, is said to be the prin-
cipal cause Of the accident. The dam
age to the car was considerable as
the woodwork was swelled and out Of
shape.

decision to have the model Of the

talnment or the delegates VIII WING up
Thursday night in big picnic and
barn dance at Wildwood park.
Commercial Clubs.
The date of the convention Of the
commercial clubs Of the state was
called at the same time as the mer-
chants convention in order that the
commercial clubs of the various cities
might name as their representatives
the merchants attending the mere
hants convention and any others that
they might wish to designate. Sec.
F. l.. Sherman OF the Minot club has
received favorable replies from all over
the state regarding the, formation Of
the state federation. The plan is to
organize the commercial clubs Of the
state into a compact union for the
purpose Of developing the resources
Of the state and stemming the tide
of immigration to Canada and the
Pacific northwest.
. Pres. A. M. Thompson of the Minot
commercial club today outlined the
purpose OF the federation to the rep
resentative of The Forum as follows:
mo one can take a trip into Cana
da or to the Pacific northwest without
realizing the extent to which those
sections are organized for the purpose
of securing the best settlers from the
eastern states. Hundreds of thousands
of people are passing through North
Dakota, ignoring the possibilities of
this state and looking for opportunities
in more remote distances where the
markets are not as good as they are
here. The reason is, Canada and the
Pacific northwest are more thoroughly
organized and every possible plan for
the settlement OF the country is adopt
ed. North Dakota can accomplish just
as much, if the commercial clubs get
together and pull as unit, instead OF
working individually. Minnesota has
a live association OF this kind, and
the commercial clubs of Montana are
organized. 1t is up TO North Dakota
to get busy and get its share of the
eastern people who are looking for OPP
portunities in the golden west"

turtle LAKE
CASE DISMISSED
At WASHBURN

Washburn, N. D., July 10.-That
Turtle Lake case has been dismissed.
And just after everybody had made
arrangements to hear the testimony
at that.
One of the defendants showed up
and pleaded guilty. One Of the others
had broken his arm on the day he was
to have been arrested, so that formal
ity was deferred by the sheriff until
such time as the man would be able to
get out and hustle bond.
The man recovered rapidly, how
ever, and, in fact, regained his
strength so suddenly that before 9TH
ers were aware Of it he had gone on
an excursion from which he has not
yet returned. The excursion took him
into either Montana or Canada.
The complainant in the case was an
N. p. brakeman who had been pub
licly horsewhipped by one Miss Halves
while held by two men, citizens of
Turtle Lake.
Miss Halves is a rather good looking
woman of about % or 30 years, and
looks as though she could whip a
Northern Pacific brakeman If occasion
demanded it.
