SAYS FRAUD WAS PRAcT1cED

Bottineau. N. D., Jan. 19.-Botti.
neau county has just disposed of $780,
900 in drainage bonds, the proceeds to
be used in carrying on extensive drain
age work in the basin of the Mouse
river and over which drainage pro-
ject there has been long drawn out
legal battle, finally decided favorable
to the ditch supporters. An Ohio firm
bought the bonds which bear interest
at six per cent.
Two North Dakota counties are bear,
ing the expense of the drainage work,
which contemplated the restoration to
cultivation Of many thousands of acres
of bottom lands. The work that must
be done is in the counties of Bottineap
and McHenry and partially in Canada
where some drainage must be done TO
provide the proper outlet. The cost of
the operations in Canada will be about
$12,500 and will be borne by the Da-
kota land owners.
The contract for the work has al

FARMERS OFFER RIGHT OF Way.

Grand Forks, Jan. 19.-Free right Of
way is one Of the inducements held on,
by farmers of five townships in Grand
Forks and Trail counties for the St.
Paul, Milwaukee and Chicago railroad
by which they are hopeful of securing
the construction of an extension of that
road from Fargo to Grand Forks on the
North Dakota side of the Red river.
a big mass meeting was held at Bel.
meRt 50 mile. mile. s s5a.a Of Grand Forks,
and at that time preliminary plans
were formulated with the end in view
of obtaining more direct rail connec-
tions with Grand Forks and Fargo, and
the grain markets of the northwest
That the future progress of the in.
tensified farming movement in the ter.
ritory lying directly adjacent to the
Red river, both on the North Dakota
and the Minnesota side of the river,
depends entirely upon the adequacy Of
transportation facilities, is the view
held by the farmers, and they will do
everything possible to bring some rail
road into their territory. At the pres
ent time the Great Northern has lines
which parallel the river from Grand
Forks to Fargo, but as a distance Of
from a few miles back as far at 90
miles from the stream.
In Grand Forks county the farmers
of Walle and Bentru townships are
directly interested in the early work.
while in Trail county Belmont, Bing.
ham and Caledonia are interested in
the work. These were the five town
ships represented at the gathering in
Belmont when it was decided to take
steps to bring about the construction
of new line.
t1n the event that we cannot secure
the Milwaukee road" said Chairman
Knudson of the temporary organizatic ,
GIVE will not let the matter drop, but
will seek VITO find some other railroad
outlet. We are very anxious to gain
better transportation facilities, and
deem it of great Importance to our flu
ture welfare. The territory lying adj
jacent to the Red river would afford a
splendid ground for new business for a
railroad which would build such linz,
as it would mean, increased traffic
through this section. With the coop,
Grafton of other townships, and the
cities of the valley which are interested
there is every reason to believe that we
can make the movement eliminate ii,
success.

BELIEVES THE PEACE TREATIES
SHOULD BE RATIFIED WITH
OUT AMENDMENTS.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Nc
Cumber Of North Dakota appealed to the
senate today to Immediately ratify the
presidents arbitration treaties with
England and France, without amend
ment. He argued that the terms Of
the treaties in no way usurped the con-
stitutional rights Of the senate nor
compel the arbitration Of any tradition
al question of American policy, such as
the Monroe doctrine or the control Of
immigration.
The ratification Of the treaties, Sen
ator McCumber declared, will give the
cause of arbitration sue an impetus
that like treaties will soon be made
With all civilized nations. He took
the position that no construction Of
the language Of the treaties could bring
the United States to arbitrate the ques-
ton involving the Panama canal, as ne
claimed it was an American and not
an international question.

JUMPED FROM FRYING PAN
INTO THE FIRE.

Beach, Jan. 19.-Some time ago Ex-
Deputy Sheriff Morris was given
warrant sworn out by Attorney Wal
dron, as agent for the First National
Bank, for the arrest Of V. II. Daggitt,
who was charged with taking mortgag-
ed property from the state. Mr.. Morris
ascertained that Daggitt had gone
west and started in pursuit, but to
most people it looked like "wild
goose chase However, he. finally
located him in San Francisco, where he
learned he was living with his wife.
He was placed under arrest and re-
turned to Beach. On arrival here, he
made satisfactory settlement with the
bank by giving a deed Of his farm in
payment, and was discharged. Almost
Immediately following his release he
was again apprehended on a charge of
shooting an animal on the
oath day of October last past, Alden
Mosher being the complaining witness.
A change of venue was taken from
Judge Heath Is court to Judge Bond
and the hearing set for January 6 at
2:30 p. M, all parties being present
and agreeing to said time and hearing
On the date set the defendant ap-
peared in person and by his attorneys,
Jefferson & Jones; States Attorney
allagher being present in the interest
Of the st...e. I'll. 9Th comm. on Sat-
,.rday, court adjourned until Monday,
January 9Th, at $3.50 a. IN. at which
time several witnesses were sworn in
and testified on the part Of the state.
Defendants attorney then ashed fer
a dismissal, claiming that the state
had failed to show facts sufficient to
lrove a public offense. The motion
was denied.
Several witnesses were then sworn
in and testified in behalf of the defend
ant, Daggitt taking the stand himself
with an endeavor to prove his limo
cense.
The counsel then argued the case to
some extent, but, after carefully con-
sidering the evidence it appeared to the
court that there was sufficient cause to
believe that the crime mentioned in the
complaint had been committed and that
there is probable cause to believe the
defendant committed the crime. There
fore, in accordance with his belief, the
Judge ordered and adjudged that de-
fcndant be held to district court under
$4O0 bail, which was soon furnished,
Messrs. Horace Ball and r. D. Bartle
going his bonds. The case will be tried
at the next sitting Of district court
wn1ch convcres some time iT JUNO.

When the road had the right of way
condemned through the courts and be-
gan working on the grade, Fred Bauer

gathered together number of friends.
With these, his wife and himself, heav.
lily armed, the graders were driven
from the place and kept away for
some time.
The road lost heavily. The graders
were tied up for few weeks. And the
matter Of damages between the Egan
Brothers and the railroad has not been
adjusted.
Bauer is now trying to recover for
the land condemned by the courts and
taken by the company. Also he is I'M.
