BUILD SHACKS IN
ONLY FEW HOURS
Opening to General Fling
Causes Exciting Scenes
on BerthOld

Minot, N. D., Oct. 5.-Many
exciting and interesting scenes
accompanied the opening of the
unentered lands of the Fort
Berthold reservation. While a
large number were standing in
line at the local land Office, many
more were right on the ground
and. at 9 o'clock made a grand
/ush for the lands which they
had selected.
Court Stenographer John c..
Lowe and his cousin, John j.
Lowe, who arrived here recently
from East Liverpool, o., were
on the scene at the time of the
big rush, the latter having Sc
lected a fine piece of land upon
which he intended. to squat.
They spent the night on a quar-
ter section adjoining the land
which they had selected and at
the proper time in the morning
had squatted on the land. Some
time yesterday another party fl
ed on the same land at the local
land office in Minot, but as Mr..
Lowe was first on the land he
has prior right.
House Built Quickly.
One young lady, a school
teacher at Amanda. arrived on
the reservation a few minutes
before 9 o'clock with a heavily
loaded lumber wagon and a
smaller spring wagon. At 11:30
the Messrs. Lowe drove around
>ky the young lady's claim and
they saw her little claim shack
was already up. It had taken
less than three hours in which
to build her little home.
Many Secured Land.
There were a large number of
home seekers who had selected
claims, many of them also hav-
ing second choices. Early in the
morning a man drove rapidly in
the direction of the claim which
Mr.. Lowe had selected, but
when about half a mile from
the land turned and drove rap
idly in another direction. 1t is
presumed that the man had a
second choice and when he saw
that his first choice had been
taken he made an effort to reach
the second choice before it was
gone. Il

HOW MILO MASCH.
KA MET DEATH
Accidental Discharge of Rife
in His Own Hands Was
the Cause

Following is an item taken
from the Kenmare News giving
particulars of the accidental
shooting of Milo Maschka, for
merly of this city, mention of
which was made in the last is
sue of The Tribune:
A fatal accident, the details Of
which caused deep feeling Of
sorrow, was that of last evening,
when Milo Maschke, the eight
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. H.
C.Maschke, Of this city, through
the accidental discharge of a 22
caliber rifle, was shot and in
stantly killed.
The lad, in company with three
playmates, and without the
knowledge of their parents, had
taken rifles down to the lake
shore, and Milo, during a tenn
porary absence of the other
boys, evidently stumbled while
carrying the gun, discharging it
in such a manner that the bull
let passed through the heart,
causing instant death.
The other boys, hearing the
shot, went Immediately to see
if anything was wrong and they
found their companion dead.
They summoned help at once,
and when the older people ar
rived, it was plain that death
had been caused by the rifle in
his own hands, and had been al
most instantaneous. The little
body was taken to the Bodmer
undertaking parlors, and prep
ared for burial.
Milo was likeable little fel-
low, the baby of the family, pop
ular with his playmates and at
school, and his going in such an
unfortunate way only adds more
sorrow to the already overflow
ing cup. The members of the
family are grief stricken and
have the deep sympathy of the
entire community.
The funeral services will be
held at the Methodist church to-
morrow (Friday) afternon with
Rev. Heidenberg officiating, and
interment will be- made in the
local cemetery.

Crosby Eagle: The three
year-old son of Austin Austen
son, residing north of the city,
had a very narrow escape from
drowning by being immersed in
a rain barrel. The child was
was playing in the yard when his
mother missed him for mo-
ment, and he was found in the
barrel with only his feet pro-
truding out. He was uncon-
scious for a time and was
thought to be in serious danger.
The usual methods of restoring
consciousness in such cases were
employed and a doctor called. At
this writing the lad is doing nice
ly.

ANOTHER ESCAPES
At BISMARCK
Man Sent Up From Bowman
County For Horse Steal
ing is at Liberty

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. ed
Molen, sent up from Bowman
county about three months ago
for horse stealing, escaped from
the pen last night about 8
o'clock, and at this writing has
not been apprehended.
In some way he secured a
brace and bit of good size, went
up over the picture machine
booth in the auditorium, where
he effected an opening through
the roof. He then drew up a
plank and by the use of it he got
to the officers quarters, where
he let himeslf down with rope.
The discovery Of his escape was
soon made and the dogs put out
after the fleeing fugitive. They
trailed him to Robert Clark's
place, where they lost all trace
of the scent. Inasmuch as one
of Mr.. Clark's horses has disap-
peared it is thought Molen took
the animal and fled the country
by that way.
Molen is a bad man, having
served two terms in the South
Dakota penitentiary. Some time
ago he stole some horses in Bow
man county and while in Jail
waiting trial he escaped, but
was soon captured. The court
sentenced him to four and a half
years, arriving here about three
months ago.
Parties in all directions have
been notified and it may be he
will be arrested by tomorrow
morning.

L|CN|TE FACTION IS
DENIED REHEAR|NG
Supreme Court Gives Quick
Decision in Burke County
Seat Controversy

On Saturday afternoon of. last
week the supreme court of
North Dakota denied a rehear-
ing to the attorneys for Ignite
in the county seat case. The
case had been decided in favor
of Bowbells about the first of last
month, and twenty days later
Ignite asked for a rehearing.
This APPLICATION was denied al
most Immediately after it was
presented to the court.
This, we believe, settles the
proposition for good, and there
is no way that the attorneys for
Ignite can prolong the scrap
any longer. The writ of man
damus asked for compelling the
canvassing board to canvass the
precincts in which there was
illegal voting has been denied,
and Bowbells remains the per-
manent county seat as far as
this case is concerned.
However, there is a contest of
this election filed and it may be
that this will be tried in the
courts, but it is hardly likely.
The notice of contest was pub
lished in The Tribune about
eighteen months ago and those
who read it will remember how
ridiculous it sounded. It was
brought by Sam Dimond and al
legged that the election boards
of the various precincts in the
Bowbells territory had failed to
count the ballots correctly. It
created much merriment at the
time it was filed, and the general
opinion is that it will never come
into court.

There will be no morning SER
vice in the Presbyterian church
next Sunday morning, but the

vid Samson will preach.
That tract of land which Jim
Uglum put in this season strict
ly according to the Campbell
system of dry farming and
which attracted so much atten-
tion from all who saw it on ac-
count of the even stand, long
heads, and big straw, was last
week threshed and went only %
bushels to the acre, much to the
surprise of everybody. Some
thought it would go as high as
40 bushels to the acre, while
others put it at 80, but none
would admit that it would go
less than 20. Jim tells us that
it may have been that he cut it
too greenland that the grain
shrunk some. Mr.. Uglum's
entire crop of wheat this season
averaged 10 bushels, the best
crop he has raised for many
years.

Rev. David Samson left Tues
day morning for Grand Forks,
where he will spend several days
on a business mission. He ex-
poets to return Sunday after
noon.
James Brannan came up from
Lisbon last week to look after
the threshing on his place just
outside the city limits, and re-
turned home on Tuesday Of this
week. He was somewhat sur
prised to see the big crop raised
in Burke county this year, but
assured us that Ransom county
had some just as good. He is
advertising the place for sale in
this issue of The Tribune, and
we opine that it will be snapped
up quickly by some person who
knows the value of land in this
particular section Of North Da-
kota.
D
o. M. Peterson of south of
the city was in Bowbells Monday
with his first load of. grain which
he marketed at a local elevator.
In talking to The Tribune he in
formed us that he had all Of his
threshing completed, and that
while some Of his grain went as
high as II bushels, a major por-
tion Of it went a trifle over 12.
Several Of his neighbors, he
states, got a much better YIELD.
though he seemed to be salts
fed with the result Of his sea
sons work. The only kick Mr..
Peterson seemed to have was.
that the market was not as high.
as he would like to have it.

R. F. Migge on Friday last fin
ished threshing on his half Sec
tion farm adjoining the city on
the east, and tells us that he is
far more than pleased with the
result of the seasons work.
In fact the yield was much
greater than he expected. On
a part of the land he got ~
bushels to the acre, and the av-
erage on the whole farm was "a
bushels, all of which he took d.
rect to a local elevator where it
was accepted as No. 1 with one
pound dockage to each bushel.
Fran 156 acres Of wheat he got
some over 5000 bushels. He
states that this made up for the
two poor crops he harvested
last year and the year before. Il

,ELOP|NG COUPLE
MARRIED IN IOWA
Rose Hanson and John Jessen
Welded a Few Days Af-
ter Leaving Here

Jess Jessen, of west of the
city, whose son John, several
weeks ago eloped with Rose
Hanson, called on The Tribune
Monday afternoon and showed
us a clipping from-a newspaper
and marriage certificate show
ing that the couple were married
at Sioux City, Iowa, at $3.50 p.
M, on Sept. 18, by minister
This will go to show that the
young couple were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony only
a few days after they left here.
It was on Sunday, Sept. Is, late
in the afternoon that they left,
the Hanson home, and on the
following Wednesday were mar
ried. Both bride and groom are
very popular among the people of
west of the city who know them,
are held in the very highest es-
TEEN, and their many friends
will be glad to extend congratu-
lations and best wishes. We
were unable to learn whether
the young couple will return
here to live or not; but presume
that they will.
