COUNTY AUDITOR LARSON RE-
SIDED NEAR MAN TWENTY
YEARS ABSENT.

Minot, N. D., Sept. 29.-Perhaps the
most interested Minoter in the report
of the return of Avery to his home
near Crazy recently was County Audit
or Louis A. Larson. Mr.. Larson re-
sided near Mr.. Avery in 1885 and for
several years following that. He spoke
of him as an excellent neighbor and re-
lated many instances showing happy
relationship between the two men.
Avery was we'll read, had good cduca-
ton and was always well posted, but
he was poor financier. According to
MI. Larson he was generous almost to
fault, and this accounted for his poor
financial condition most Of the time.
If a neighbor or friends was in trou-
BILE, Avery always did everything he
could to help him out, even thougs he
could not really afford it. He told Mr..
Larson several times Of pension he
had made application for but which the
department had turned down, and he
finally made up his mind to 60 to
Washington to see about it, and &C.
cordingly walked clear to Washington.
The application was again turned down
however. Mr.. Larson believed it was
at this time that Avery disappeared.
At the time Mr.. Larson knew him he
was between SIS and 60 years of age
so he must be nearly 80 years old at
the present time.

AUSTRIAN LABoRER CRUSHED
TO DEATH BETWEEN CARS
AT SURREY.

Minot, N. D., Sept. 29.-As the result
of an engine backing into train of
work cars near Surrey on the Surrey
Fargo branch lines at abobut 1880
yesterday morning an Austrian laborer,
who recently joined the crew, is dead
and John Rukagina lies at st. Joseph IS
hospital badly injured.
The Great Northern road, which is
pushing the work on the new line near
Surrey has a large force of men at
work at that place. The Austrian and
Rukagina were amongst a crew who
were working on dirt car. Engine
No. 300 is used to haul the cars back
and forth, and it was while the engine
was backing into the cars that the &C.
cident happened.
1t appears that the Austrian and
Rukagina were standing close to the
edge Of the car upon which they were
working and when the engine bumped
into the train they were thrown be-
tween the cars. Medical aid was has
tened to the scene as quickly as posi-
bile, but the Austrian IS injuries were of
such nature that he died before treat
ment could be given.
Rukagina was Immediately rushed to
Minot in the ambulance, and while his
injuries consist of a broken leg, a
broken nose and other severe injuries
about the head and body, attending
physicians hold out hope for his recov-
cry.

SENTENCED TO 100 YEARS IN
PENITENTIARY FOR MURDER
OF HOTELKEEPER.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 29.-J. A. Melton,
convicted Of the murder Of Charles B.
Streb, the Iowa hotel proprietor at
Melrose today was sentenced to term
Of one hundred years in the peniten-
tiary. Melton blamed his conviction
upon the lack of eloguence of his at
torney and in an address to the court
spoke at length upon having had a
lawyer forced upon him, that if he had
had his own he never would have been
convicted.
He wound up by personally asking
Judge Dolan for a stay Of thirty days.
The court remarked quickly that the
first thing he proposed to do was to see
that he was taken to the penitentiary
by the first train.
The crime for which Melton was con-
victed was committed July %. With
a companion named Joe Sullivan, who
is still a prisoner in the county Jail,
charged with the murder, Melton was
at a dance hall at Melrose in an intox-
icated condition. Owing to the actions
of Melton and Sullivan in threatening
to shoot out the lights and insulting
people, Forestry Officer Hungate decid.
ed that the pair should be arrested and
he sought out Deputy Sheriff Charles
B. Streb to assist him in placing the
men where they would not create any
further trouble. AS Hungate and Streb
were in the act Of arresting Melton and
his partner the former fred and the
shot struck Streb.

little business transacted at the meet
ing of the City Council last evening.
The grading on Walnut, Third and

Alderman Harris introduced res
olution for the construction of pub
lie drinking fountain at some promi-
nent place in the city, Of the style
known as bubbler, operated by two

essary to shut it off during the winter
months which are apparently close at
hand and as no estimate OIL the cost
could be given the matter was pros
erly referred to the water committee.
Not complying with the call for bids,
which in turn did not comply with the
specifications, all bids for the plumb.
ing, heating and wiring of the new
Fire Hall were rejected and the audi.
tor instructed to call for new bids.
Mayor McClory appointed 81. Rutten
as City Assessor for the next two years
and his choice was confirmed by the

SIMPSON MAKES MoTION-BEFORE
PROBATE JUDGE BUT IS
OVERRULED.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 29.-All pro-
ceedings in probate court instituted by
attorneys for the Dickinson, N. D.,
claimant for one-half Of the estate Of
Daniel Russell, Of Melrose, We're dis
MISE dtoday and the controversy in
volving the identity Of the Dickinson
man, which occupied the probate court
for six months last year, was sent to
the supreme court on exceptions.
Probate court proceedings today were
brief, consisting of various motions
by State Senator L. A. Simpson, of
North Dakota, representing the Dick.
inson claimant, all of which were over
ruled by the court. The effort to have
the appeal from the probate court tried
before the court will be the next step
in the famous case.
The North Dakota claimant calls
himself Daniel Blake Russell, son of
the testator, although last spring q
resident of Fresno, CAL, was recogniz-
ed as the missing heir.
The Russell estate was worth about
100000 before the expensive litiga-
ton was begun and was left to two
sons, William c. and Daniel Blake.
Daniel Blake left home many years ago
and was not heard Of for a long time.
The defense maintains that the Dickin-
son man is in reality one Rousseau, Of
Medina, N. Y, although "Dakota

THOLD DRAWING HAS ARRIV-
ED AT PLAZA.

Plaza, N. D., Sept. 29.-Nr. H. P.
Click, who drew No. arrived in town
yesterday with his team and looked
over the reservation. He found many
good claims and has probably made a
mental choice. He was in southern
Illinois at the home of his wife's par

government of his good luck. He was
rejoicing with his wife over the result
when in about ten minutes time she
presented him with tiny but lively
memento Of the occasion, though she
had never been so lucky before. Click
is said to be the German word for luck,
though Mr.. Click says he was always
unlucky until the land drawing took
place.

MAN IN MINoT JAIL PROVES TO
BE A MUCH-WANTED INDI-
VIDUAL,

Minot, N. D., Sept. 2o--Detective
Reed of the Pinkerton Detective Agen-
cy, arrived in Minot yesterday for the
purpose of looking over G. f. Hamilton
now lodged in the Ward county Jail on
charge of passing bogus paper at
Flaxton.
According to Detective Reed Hamil-
ton is a much-wanted man and the
sleuth has been on the alleged forger s
trail for several weeks.
1t is said that Hamilton has work.
ed in connection with a pal, who has
not yet been apprehended and that be-
tween the two of them they have sys-
tematically aeeced merchants in towns
in Minnesota and North Dakota. Ham
ilton was arrested by Sheriff Stein
hofer at Flaxton. It is said that the
prisoner secured a bunch of blank
, checks at Columbus and filled them out
to suit his purpose.
The capture Of Hamilton is said to
be one Of the best pieces of work for
some time. Reed says that if the evil
dence at Flaxton is not enough to con,
Wet Hamilton, he has plenty of evi
dence to convict him for passing bad
paper in Minnesota.

CALIFORNIA PRIEST QUESTIONS
IF IT DOESN'T ENDAGER
CHRISTIANITY.

Berkeley, Cal, Sept. 29.-Rev. Father
F. x. Morrison, of St. Joseph $ church
of Berkeley sounded warning against
advanced sociology in religion, in an
address here today before a Woman g
Catholic Aid society. Father Morrison
questioned the wisdom of allowing the
spread of education, and said that
Christianity and paganism were once
more facing each other on the stage
Of the world.
"These are things which, 'as becom-
eth saints,' we should not mention in
the class room or place upon the plane
of popular discussion,' he said.
"Whatever this advanced sociology
may be, it is long way removed from
the methods of the Christian ages.
eff conditions are so desperate that
we need remedies today, in spite of our
universal education, is it not an argu-
ment that while we needed education

HORSE AUTHORITY WRITES OF
MINOT PAGER IN THE HORSE
REVIEW MAGAZINE.

The following article has peen taken
from a recent number of the Morse
Review, a noted magazine devoted to
horsefesh, and deals with Don Dens-
more, d. A. Dinnie IS famous PAGER,
who has established q national reputa-
ton for himself this season.
The premier Western Circuit PAGER
is, of course, Don Densmore, 1903 ID,
owned by D. A.. Dinnie, of Minot, N.
D., and driven by Rupert Parker. For
numerous reasons Don Densmore inter
ested me, one of them being that he
was sired by Pactolus 2:12 3-4. My
early association with harness horses
was formed through the late Morris j.
Jones, who owned Pactolus Alix, 2:03
ga, and their sire, Patronage. Mr..
Jones held all PAGERS in contempt and
it was his boast that Pactolus would
never sire a PAGER unless some unthink-
ing man would put hobbies on one of
the family and force them into the
gait But l believe that were Jones
alive today that he would be proud of
Don Densmore, despite his antipathy
to the pacing gait. By the way, Pact
olus had few PAGERS, only five of that
gait appearing in his list Of forty light
performers to the close of 1910. Don
has the gait, the rugged conformation,
the speed and the temperament to
make 300 horse, and it would not sur
prise me if "Rufe' some day would
ride that fast behind him. He is in
clined to be lazy, always he is uncon

Minot, N. D., Sept. 29.-The decision
of the supreme court in which the ac
tion against the Standard Oil company
was 9uashed probably will terminate
the proceedings. That is the opinion
of Alfred Blaisdell, former secretary
Of state, who started the case when
complaint was filed with him to the
effect that there had been unfair dis
elimination. The action was based on
the fact that there was petition filed
with the secretary Of state in which
alleged facts were set forth tending
t oprove that the state law had been
grossly violated by the trust.

WILL BE FIRST OF RACE TO
SERVE FOR EPIsCOPALIAN
CHURCH IN s. OAK.

New York, Oct. Sin the call for
an early meeting of he Episcopal
church's house Of bishops there seemed
to some people to be an intimation that
a missionary district at large might
be created for Indians who belong to
the Episcopal church. A district-at-
large, permitting its bishops to look af
ter Indian communicates, was held to
from half a dozen quarters.
Now the Bishop Of Missouri, who is
presiding bishop and who called the
special meeting, answers the critics to
say tina tall that is contemplated is
the creation of new missionary dis
trict within the state Of South Dakota,
consisting of counties wherein dwell a
consistin gof counties wherein dwell
few save Indian people, and leaving the
remainder of the state to be another
district, wherein are few save whites.
Bishops will be chosen for two districts
if two are created, and that for the
Indian district will be an Indian, the
first American Indian to attain the
rank of bishop.
It seems to be settled that mission
airy district of Panama will be created
at this special meeting and that it will
take in several Central American states,
and perhaps part of the United States
of Columbia. Into these states Amer
leans are going in large numbers. In
some of them Englishmen have lived
for years, and the bishop of London
has provided chaplains for religious
work among them. Now the English
are going and Americans are coming
Hence the transfer of territory and of
missions, and the election of an Amer.
lean to be bishop in charge.
