Fargo. ~ After successfully outwit-

colored girl, at last fell into the
meshes Of the law. and was heavily
fined for soliciting on the streets.
Maude has been clever and when
brought before the police magistrate
heretofore has always entered plea
Of not guilty and sent for witnesses
who testified in her favor. Bat this
time the case was so plain that any
attempt on her part to insist on her
innocence was futile ana Maude was
informed By Judge Miller that her DO.

Usually Maude's game is claimed By
those who complain against her to
solicit on the streets and rob those
with whom she comes In contact. Sev.

who appeared against her. testified she
had relieved him Of $40 and the com

NORTH DAKOTA LIGNITE

cal survey has just issued a report on
the Ignite in the Fort Berthold In
dian reservation, North Dakota, by
Mar A. Pishel. The area described
is that part of the Fort Berthold In

Missouri river. in Mountrail, Mclean
and Ward counties. The area is tri-
angular, being about IS miles from
north to south and 80 miles from east
to west.

ing that the Ignite is derived largely
from remains of trees and heavy vege-
tation. Like most Ignite. when ex.

that it is we'll adapted to this use.
In these tests the Ignite compares ia.

VICTIMS WILL LOST.
Mrs. II. &. chasfes, Armenia, Fights 70

+ y z
Amenia. The state Of North Da-
kota has remarkable ''lost will" case
involving q $2,o0o.00o estate left by q
victim Of the Titanic disaster and af-
fecting two Minneapolis organizations.
the Plymouth Congregational church
and the Minnesota division OF the In
ternational Sunshine society. which
has headquarters in Minneapolis.
The estate is that of H. r. Chaffee
of Amehia, N. D., who lost his life on
the Titanic, and who, according to his
wife. had drawn will naming the two
Minneapolis organizations among the
legatees. In Fargo Mrs. Chaffee, who
says she desires to carry out the
wishes of her husband, began a legal
fight to prove the contents of the will,
even though the document itself has
been lost. 1t is said that her two sons
oppose this action and will demand
that the estate be divided according to
the Inheritance laws Of North Dakota
When attorneys for the church and
the International Sunshine society
were notified that Mrs. Chaffee would
try to prove the contents of the lost
will Of her husband and that the two
organizations had been named as le-
gatees under the will, immediate steps
to protect the legal interests Of the
two organizations were taken. The
amount Of the legacies to the two or.
sanizations is not known, but Mrs.
Chafee says that she is familiar with
the contents Of the will and can prove
by oral testimony the various provi-
sions of the document.
H. r. Chaffee was president of the
John Miller Grain company of Mime.
apolis. Two years ago he was victim
OF a gold brick" swindle by which
he lost $4,000.
Mr.. Chaffee's death on the Titanic
was one Of the incidents of the sea
disaster. He placed his wife aboard
q lifeboat and said that he would stay
on the liner. His wife pleaded with
him to go with her, but he declined.
Attorneys representing Mrs. Chaffee
and the International Sunshine society
appeared in probate court at Fargo
late today and asked that the will be
admitted to probate, even though the
original document had been lost. In
support of their position they pro,
posed to introduce evidence showing
that the will was not destroyed by Mr..
Chaffee. A careful search of his be.
longings has failed to disclose the in.
strument.
The Chaffee estate is estimated to
be worth 100000.

Fargo. julius M. Hanson, who
is q son of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Hanson of Lake Park, Mimi, and trav-
cling representative Of the Duluth
Brewing company, was shot down and
killed by an unknown highwayman
who lay in wait to rob him at the
Lincoln school here. Hanson failed
to comply with the highwayman's re-
quest that he hold up his hands but
instead called for help. One Of the
robbers pressed a revolver to Han
sons stomach and fired.
The bullet pierced q main artery
near the stomach and Hansen died be-
fore he could be gotten upon tho oper
ating table at the hospital. To neigh
bors, who found him dying on the
sidewalk, Hanson was able to tell q
garbled story of what happened.
He said two masked white men,
both Of whom were short and OF
stocky build came at him from around
the corner of the Lincoln school
building and after one had shot him
neglecting to rob him of $35 and q
watch he had, they fed east.
With no description or clue upon
which to work the authorities are al
loss to know what to do. The mur
der is the second highwaymen have
committed on the same street and un
der the same circumstances within 8
year. Police believe local men com
mitted the crime and it is said the
arrest of well known persons is immi
nent. Mayor M. d. Sweet offered $20t
reward for the arrest of the murder
ers and the county is expected to of
fer much larger reward. Excite
