What is the matter with the ,Minot
police now, days? They must have
run out .'of anything to do in town,
as it looked that way Saturday as
they were chasing every man who
came in with a load of hay that day
off the streets to the hay market.
Now, why doesn't Minot have this
hay market away out of .Minot where
the farmers wouldn't be chased
around by bunch Of doughhead po-
lice? Now, why don't these D. HIS
run the automobiles off the streets?
No, they are afraid to, for they might
lose their jobs. think that the MI
not business men and the Commercial
club should see that the farmers who
come to town with hay are treated
half way decent.

OVER 1000 HAVE ALREADY
REGISTERED IN THIS CITY
Registr aticns at Other Points Have
Been Disappointing Estimated
That 10000 Will Be About the
Limit

Early this morning, the number Of
registrations for Fort Berthold lands
in Minot reached the 1000 mark.
Between two and three thousand have
registered at Bismarck, while the Gar.
son, Ryder and Plaza points have
hardly exceeded 1000. This is a keen
disappointment to Plaza especially,
where great deal of money had been
spent in advertising the opening Of
this reserva ion.
The fact that there are only about
1900 claims to be had should not keen
the crowds away. Those who do reg.
lister will have all the better chance
on account of the crowd not being 50
large as was expected.
The last days for the registration,
however, will be large, as many will
want to remain here to see whether
they are lucky or not and will be On
hand at the drawing.
The total registration on Tuesday
was as follows: Minot, 6,41O; Bis
marck, 2,506; Plaza, Alb; Ryder, 2es;
Garrison, 349.

NIXON HELD TO COUNTY COURT.

George Nixon, the Ryder farmer,
charged with disposing of quantity
of wheat and oats, upon which Ward
county held a lien, was brot to this
city last Thursday by Sheriff Kelley
and given a hearing. He was held to
county court, giving bonds for his ap-
pearance. In the meantime, it is said
that he will make an effort to reim-
Durse the county for about $500 worth
of seed which was furnished him two
years ago. Where q farmer gets
seed and feed and fails to raise crop,
the commissioners are disposed to
deal leniently with him, but in Nix

1000 bushels of wheat besides q large
quantity of oats, disposing Of the

M|NOT'S new ARN0RY WILL
Be FINEST IN THE STATE
Money Is in Sight for the Finest
Building Of the Kind In the State
Members Of Co. D. Have Raised
$1,eoo-ss,o 900 More Needed.

It is safe to state that work will
commence within few days on the
magnificent armory to be erected by
the Minot Military Training School
association on the lots purchased
some time ago just east Of the Central
school building.
Can't. Person and his soldier boys
have been working out plan where
by the work can go on and this plan
can be said to be now perfected.
Woodruff & McGulpin have drawn
the plans for the structure and bids
have been received from the contrac-
tors. The contract will be let with

ME is the lowest bidder by 5000. The
armory complete will cost $2o.5Oo'
which does not include the cost of the
!, lot, worth about $4,000.
The members of Co. D. have a.
ready paid for the lot They need the
assistance of the citizens of Minot,
who must raise between seven and
eight thousand dollars. Already many
have promised liberal sums, altho an
effort is being made not to ask very
much from any one individual. With
Just a little help on the part of the
citizens, the money can be raised'
to build the very finest armory in the
entire state.
The state gives $4,000 on the build
ing. and besides advances 1000 more,
which, with the money to be raised In
Minot, will guarantee the construc-
tion Of this much needed building. 1t
il expected that the armory will be
IN readiness in ninety days.
No,very good idea Of the proposed
building can he had without COINS

TWO SCHOOL eoARDs'fM 90 et@G'
~ 55aa HARRISON TOWNSHIP

The Harrison township school dis
trict is in a pretty mess. There are
two school boards, each claiming au-
thority to act. The old board has re-
tanned the records and both biards are
making out new records.
Residents Of Harrison township be-
lieving that the supreme court de-
cision relative to North Minot, did not
effect the school district, elected two
new members in June, H. E. Gass-
man and Jos. Laqua. Supt. Warren,
figuring differently, appointed two
members Of the board, H. E. Gass.
man and John Wallin. Gassman re-
fused to accept the appointment, stat
ing that had been elected and didn't
need it. Ole Oen then was app pointed
in Gassman's place. The old board
then organized with L. W. Torger-
son clerk, and liver Watne, treasurer.
The new board has tried to make
settlement with the Minot school dis
trict, but on account of the muddle
this could not be effected. The old
board has signed contracts with
teachers for the ensuing year and
may have to pay them.
In the meantime, Minot proposes to
educate the North Minot pupils In tho
Mckinley school.

DON DENSM0RE
BROKE RECORD
Don Densmore, Dave Dinnie's Pacing
Stallion, Defeats the Great snip
shewanna King at Galesburg, Time,

Dave Dinnie's great pacing stA-
lion. Don Densmore, won one OF the
most sensational races ever seen IN
this or any other country, at Gales
burg, IN, Tuesday, when he defeated
that great favorite, Shipshewanna
King, in the remarkably fast time OF
2:O3A. This is the fastest time ever
made on the Galesburg track. Horse
men from all over the world have
their eyes on the Minot horse which
is only five years old.
The Chicago Horseman editorially
states that Don is likely to make a
record of two minutes fat before the
end OF the season and II he does, you
can. count upon him as being one OF
the fastest horses that the world has
ever produced.
Dan Patch, the fastest horse never
beat Don's record in race, and was
able to 60 mile In 1856 and frac'
tion by the use of 3 running horse
with wind shield just ahead Of him.
Great things are expected from Don
Densmore. In the meantime, Minot
Is one Of the best advertised cities
in the United States, as "the home Of
Don Densmore.
A local horseman stated that Don
Densmore could easily be valued O
$4,000, at the present time.

LIGHT FROST TUESDAY

A light frost was noticed Tuesday
morning, altho farmers say that very
little damage was the result The air
was very chilly during Monday night
and there were fears that there would
be a killing frost. Farmers who have
flax and late wheat hope that the
frost will hold off for two or three
weeks yet, which would mean an i'm
mense lot of money for our crops.
Major Murphy sowed some wheat
on June 1, expecting to merely grow
feed. The wheat now stands three
feet tall and the heads are fine and
long, and filling nicely. The major
says II the frost holds Oh two weeks
longer, that wheat will average 30
bushels.
