FARMERS ABLE TO
Hold LIVE STOCK
FACT is SHOWN BY DECREASED
RECEIPTS AT SOUTH ST.
PAUL YARDS IN JULY.

st. Paul, Aug. 2.-Marketing Of live
stock at South ST. Paul in July was
not so extensive as in the same month
in 1910, the unofficial figures at the
close OF business yesterday afternoon
showing a loss in every department
compared with the same period last
year, with the simple exception OF
horses. The figures for the month
show receipts of 2S,6O0 cattle, 1000
calves, $4,000 hogs, 23,500 sheep, 1900
horses and 1850 cars.
Far from being taken as an indica-
ton of an unfavorable condition in the
northwestern live stock situation, the
decrease is regarded by South st. Paul
stockmen as plain proof of the much
healthier midsummer condition OF the
industry this year than that prevailing
year ago. In 1910 farmers and stock
men all over this territory were forced
to dispose of a large share OF their
stock prematurely and the big western
movement was advanced on the calen-
dar nearly two months, getting well
under way in July and swelling re-
ceipts, especially in the cattle and
sheep departents, far above the av-
erage Tor that month.
Farmers Holding Stock.
The decrease of about 10000 cattle
1000 calves, 5000 hogs and 5000 sheer
indicates that farmers In this territory
have been able to retain their stock at
home for thorough finish. whereas
last year they were forced by shortage
of pasture and feed to let go Of herds

STONES PUT IN
WAY OF AUTO

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2.-There is
an auto line between New England and
Dickinson. The distance traversed is
thirty-two miles. The Russian settlers
In the country between the two towns
think the auto has no right to run
through the country. Two OF them
stopped the car a few days ago and
used a shotgun and an iron bar in q
threatening manner. The driver, Joe
De Lamar, and a passenger, kid"
Winters, a brewery salesman of Min
neapolis, jumped out Of the car, took
the gun and other weapon away from
the Russians, gave them a good beat

Last Friday night five passengers
wanted to get to Dickinson in time to
catch No. 6, which leaves Dickinson
at 10 o'clock. The auto left New
England at S:45. Going across that

SHERIFF FINDS
A WRECKED BUBBLE

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 2.-Sherin
McLain received word yesterday after
noon that an auto had run into a ditch
yesterday morning out near John Pet
erson's farm and that a man was lying
on the ground whom passersby were
unable to arouse and so supposed he
was dead. When the sheriff went out
he found a badly smashed auto In the
ditch and man that looked very much
as If he had just woke up, but he de-
MED being the party that had the
wreck, but said, however, he was
representative of the same livery at
Lakota and had been sent there to
look the party up. He claimed the
driver of the car was one Johnson.
Johnson was supposed to have worn a
red necktie and leather auto cap.
The man asked for a ride back to
town which he was granted and the
sheriff supposed the affair was settled.
Later in the day this same man came
to him and asked which way the auto
was. 1t seems that he had hired an
other man and auto to take him back
to the car but was unable to tell just
where it was and they had driven con-
siderably out Of their way looking for
it and as a last resort came to the
sheriff for directions. Such proceed
ings made the matter appear as II he
had been the original party.

STATE BOARD OF
CONTROL HAD
A BUSY MONTH

Bismarck N. d., Aug. 2.-Judge
Carmody says the state board Of con-
troll Of which he is a member, has
put in rather strenuous month, vis-
iting all the institutions Of which the
board has control. The board is a
creation Of the late legislature and
mas been In active existence Just one
month. In company with the other
two members, III. Tatley and DIR. w.
>. Robertson, Judge Carmody has vis-
tied the reform school at Mandan,
penitentiary at Bismarck, the insane
hospital at jamestown. the deaf and
blind institute at Devils Lake, the
school for feeble minded at Grafton
and the school for the blind at Bath
gate.
These institutions, the Judge says.
are all well managed and there will
be no changes by the board It is the
duty of the board Of control under the
law to visit the insane hospital at
Jamestown every month and the 9TH
er institutions at least twice year.
The official residence of the board
members is Bismarck and the duties
entail much travelling. improvements
are being made at number of the in
situations which viii be completed be-
for snow flies.
An addition to the laundry at the
insane hospital at Jamestown is being
built at cost OF about $1,000.
The new fireproof building at Graf
ton for the blind school is about COM
pleted. 1t will cost from 100000 to
$4,000. The Appropriation for this
structure was $4,000.
The fireproof ward building at
jamestown insane hospital when COM
pleted will cost $4,000. A dairy
barn to cost $500 is being con-
strueted. The barn will be built by
the inmates.
The board of control is loud in
praise of the manner in which the re-
form school at Mandan is conducted
by Supt. J. W. Brown.
lyon would not know it was a cor
-ectfonal by the appearance of things
around the school," said Judge Car
mody. ''The inmates seem to enjoy
the privileges accorded scholars in
the public schools of the state, and
a couple of ball teams made up of the
boys in the school gave us an exhibit
ton Of the great national field game
which would have done credit to a
college,"
Superintendent Brown has been in
charge since 1903. In his home there
the poor girls sent there for correc-
tional purposes two white. one color
ed and one Indian maiden. These
girls wait table and assist with the
work about the institution and seem
like members Of the Brown family.
ID. f. Bangs, in charge Of the deaf
and dumb institute at Devils Lake,
has held his position for seventeen
years.
Another new building to be erected
for the state is q barn at the Man
dan institution. 1t will be built by
the boys.
The board of control does not have
jurisdiction over the penitentiary, but
it has power to parole and discharge
inmates committed to the insane hos
pital and parole from the reform
school.

EXPLORATION ON
JAMES A SUCCESS
EXPEDITION IN CHARGE OF CUR
AToR FISH uNEARTHs MANY
INTERESTING FACTS CON-
CERNlNG INDIANS

Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 2.-Curator
Fish Of the state historical society, in
speaking Of his recent trip through the
James river country, says that it was
one Of the most satisfactory explora-
tions that he has taken. He found a
great deal Of data that will be exceed
ingly valuable to the society in its
work.
The expedition consisted Of four
men, Mr.. Clarence Finch of LaMoure,
Francis Templeton and Lester Smith
Of Grand Forks. besides the curator.
MIR. Fish and Mr.. Finch went south
from Jamestown to the state bound
airy line, along one bank, returning
on the other; while Templeton and
Smith Travelled north along the shores
Of the James river and worked to the
source, visiting Arrowwood, Jim, Al
kali and Spiritwood lakes also, and
then are coming back the Pipestem
to its mouth at Jamestown.
The journey of the explorers took
them north along the James river
through Stutsman, Foster, Eddy and
into central Wells county, where the
Jim river rises, a distance Of some
eighty miles as the crow flies, but four
or five times that length following the
winding course Of the stream. The
Pipestem rises also in Wells county
further west and flows through Wells,
Foster and Stutsman. The party south
bound followed the James river through
Stutsman, L.aMoure and Diclkey coun-
ties. They walked between twenty-five
and thirty miles day, making the
trip In Ave or six days. They followed
the river along the first bench, or rise
where the terrace would form ma
tural protection for the Indians vii
lage.
The Sheyenne Indians, original in
habitants of North Dakota, dwelt In
cities or villages, before taking up
their wandering career. They built
circular sod dwellings and the object
Of the expedition was to locate these
circles or round rings Of earth some-
times thirty feet in diameter and
mounds before advancing civilization
and cultivation of the soil destroys all
the evidences. The tepee stage Of the
Indian career came after their period
as city jewellers.
Messrs. Templeton and Smith had
longer route to cover and will not
return for about a week. but the other
two men finished Saturday, Mr.. Fish
returning to the capital city Sunday
evening.
The part of the country south in
Dickey county is the richest in his
torical data, at one place a cellar like
Fertilization being found which is sup
posed to have been used as protec-
ton by United States soldiers on
their way west in the early SOS. A
few miles south of Dickey on the river
was found groups Of mounds spread
along for some distance. There were
about ten or fifteen mounds in each
group and two of them were effigy
mounds. A great deal Of historical data
was collected and Mr.. Fish is very
much gratifed with the results OF the
trip.

AUTO CAUSES
BAD ACCIDENT
HORSE MAKES A JUMP AND
TURNS QUICKLY, THROWING
OCCUPANTS OUT.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 2.-Three Minot
people were badly injured in an acct
dent near the foot Of Nedrud avenue
branch of the Great Northern viaduct,
when horse driven by Alfred DahIe
took fright at two automobiles that
were passing.
Mrs. Q. p. Dahle sustained a bro
ken wrist, Mrs. John Stoudt, broken
jaw and Miss Hazel Moon a bad cut

taken home on the night of the acct
dent from the residence of Judge will

The people were driving to the pic
mic grounds at wildwood park. and
just as they were about at the foot
of the Great Northern viaduct, two
automobiles, one driven by A. J. Brun-
ner and the other by Paul ". Mccoy,
came along. The drivers Of the two
machines were going slow and in ac-
cordance with the law footed their
horns The horse became frightened
and took a leap, making short turn,
throwing the women out. Mrs. Stoudt
struck hydrant, and Mrs. DAZZLE a
telephone pole, while Miss Moon
struck the sidewalk.
Mrs. Stoudt was taken the home
of Mrs. Raner and Mrs. Dahle to Judge
William Murray's residence, where ev-
erything was done for the comfort of

was reset at once, and Mrs. Stoudt also
received immediate medical attend
ance. 1t was necessary however, to
set Mrs. Stoudt's jaw a second time
