RUGBY MAYOR
HAULED sand
ASSISTED BY ALDERMEN AND
MEMBERS or FIRE DEPART
MENT HE REPAIRS CITY HALL.

Rugby, N. D., July 26.-Wtth Mayor
Dale and the city aldermen hauling
sand from a pit east Of town and
the members of the fire department
preparing to mix and lay the con-
crete, Rugby's city hall will take on
a modern appearance.
To be sure, 1t is rather an uncom-
mon sight to see the mayor hauling
sand, but this is not the only pre-
cedent that Mayor Dale has estab-
lished. The fact is, the city hall
needed some repairs such as thorough
cleaning, new stairways, new and
larger doorways and a concrete floor,
and there was not sufficient funds
available for completion of this work,
so it was necessary to call for volun-
teers to donate their services. The
call was met with ready response
and several teams were supplied and
among them were those capable of
plying the various trades represented
in such an Observation-Disclosures
carpenters, masons and other mechan-
les. And this unique method of ac-
complishing some good without a large
outlay Of money is proving most sue
cessful.

GIRL
BADLY BEATEN

Bismarck, N. D., July 26.-May
Ashwell, aged is years, lies tossing
on a bed of pain, her frail body bear
ing the marks of an awful beating
and mauling which she is alleged to
have suffered from the hands of Mrs.
Claude Rossen Wednesday evening.
May Ashwell is an orphan girl, and
for some time made her home with
the Rossen family. Recently she has
been living at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Finlayson. Eye witnesses
to the affair state that May met Mrs.
Rossen on the street and asked her
about some little trinket, supposedly
a mouth organ, which had been left
at the Rossen home. Mrs. Rossen is
said to have abused the girl and
after some words gave her a terrible
beating. The little girl was taken to
the Finlayson home as soon as friends
could reach her and for over an hour
was said to have been unconscious.
Medical aid was summoned, and at
a late hour this afternoon the girl
is still in o p~recarious condition.

HUBBY WAS SURPRISED
Valley City Farmer Slipped OF to
see Fair and Met Wife
/ on the Street.

Valley City Patriot: A farmer of
this county tells a good one on him
sell. ON Tuesday he decided that
he would go TO Fargo and visit the
state fair. He didn't ask his wife to
70 along, so in company with neigh
boring farmer about noon set out Tor
valley City, leaving his wife at home
busiIy engaged with the household du-
ties. BY hard driving they cached
the city in time to catch the highline
train, with less than three minutes to
spare. Reaching Fargo too late to
take in the fair they went over to
Moorhead to see the aeroplane flight
from that viewpoint" After seeing
at, they returned to Fargo; when al
most the first person he met wis his
wife. To say that he vas surprised
and nonplused Is putting it mild. He
was astounded. How did she get
there? After he had gone her sister
phoned and inquired If she would like
to 20 to Fargo. So in company with
her sister and brother-in-law they
drove to Rogers and took the N. p.
train for the gate city, meeting linn
soon after arriving there.

SAYS BEGGAR
Is AN IMPOsTER
MAN CLAIMING TO Be DEAF
CALLED ON PROF. L. A. LONG,
i TO HIS SORROW.

Devils Lake, N. d.. july 26.-Resf-
dents Of North Dakota are warned by
Prof. L. A. Long OF the North Dakota
School for the Deaf, that a young
man presenting the card OF Robert
seymour, is soliciting aid, is believed
to be an imposter and unworthy OF
assistance. Unaware that he was ap-
preaching a mar who is an expert in
the sign language, the stranger asked
Mr.. Long at his residence for money.
Seymour asked for help because he
claimed he was deaf. When Mr.. Long
started to use the sign language, Sey-
nlour became scared. He could pen
some but could not read.
Inquiring into the mans circum-
stances, Professor Long was told by
the stranger that he became deaf four
years e No cases are known where
one becomes deaf at the age Of 8 or
over where the speech is lost. That
was a queer feature in his case
The stranger was openly accused
by Professor Long OF being an inn
poster, and he threatened to have him
arrested If he did not leave town.
The man left at once.
1.-THE deaf as a rule do not beg
because they are deaf" said Professor
Long. THE deaf of the country are
trying to put a stop to that kind Of
business. There may be a few beg
fgars who are really deaf, but If found
are usually made TO stop"

by George p. FIath of his treatment

he was confined some time ago. he
charges brutal conduct on the part OF

has secured ~affidavits from a

The charge is made that Governor
Eberhart has ignored a letter written
by Flath's legal adviser, B. +. Skula-
son, assistant county attorney or
Grand Forks, N. d., more tina a year
ago. asking him to investigate condi-
tons at Rochester. The governor de-
MES that he had ever received the let
ter. Skulason's letter substantiated
Flath's statement that his body was
covered with scars and bruises recetv-
ed at Rochester. Flath has sent TO
The Dispatch a carbon copy OF the
letter which bears the date of July
28. 1911. In addition to the evidence
concerning Flath's condition, Skulason
comments on the inhuman treatment
accorded other patients at Rochester.
Failing any action by the governor,
the State Board of Visitors has de-
cided to go ahead and make a thor
ough investigation into conditions at

II is believed that a central cream

from the standpoint OF the farmer
there is no question that the money
received for the product while waiting
for harvest is indeed welcome.

POLICE CAUGHT

Devils Lake, N. ID, July 2e.--The po-
lice force picked up q 12-yaar-old boy

IN as Floyd Holmgren and his
home as Thief River Falls. MINI. He

said that he had left home some
weeks ago, going from Thief River
Falls to Detroit, MINI. From there
he came to Fargo and from Fargo he
went direct to Helena, Mont. He had
rs cents when he left home and this
he still had when he arrived at Dew

The lad was bright and intelligent
beyond his years, and apparently his
life on the road had not spoiled him
much. He was given a good lecture
by the local authorities, made to
home and given his liberty. From the
celebrity of his movements in the past
it is altogether probable that he will
reach Thief River Falls some time this
