building one Of the neighbors supplied
them hot coffee and the beverage. they
say, proved mighty acceptable.

NEED Of EXTRA CASH
District Heads Make Plea for
0ccoquan Workhouse.
SMALL DEFICIENCY SHOWN
Conditions at the Institution De
clared by Commissioner Rudolph
to Be Excellent.

| In connection with the ommissioners'
request OF Congress for a deficiency ap-
preparation Of $61.50O, with which to
continue the workhouse at Occoquan
| until the end Of the present fiscal year,
Commissioner Rudolph today said that
conditions in that institution are un-
| usually satisfactory.
Lack of time or opportunity to make
sufficiently detailed estimates is the ex-
PLANTATION given for the need Of the
extra appropriation, as set forth In a
letter addressed by the Commissioners
to the Secretary of the Treasury, and
forwarded by that official to Congress
The Commissioners say that after
successful opposition to the construc-
tion of a reformatory on the site near
Mount Vernon had developed they pre-
sented to the Senate a request that
the appropriation of $2SS.000 for the
workhouse last year be soo reduced to to
made Immediately available.
Unable to Make New Inquiry.
Being thus obliged to swap horses
in the middle Of the stream" states the
communication. "the Commissioners,
without time or opportunity to procure
more reliable data, used the informa-
ton at hand in recommending the
$193. 900 referred to-
"The estimate for maintenance and
operation was based on a per capita
cost Of $210.66 per inmate year. 1t is
since found that the per capita cost
at similar institutions is largely in ex-
cess Of this figure, running sometimes
as high as $272 per inmate year."
The Commissioners say also that it
was necessary to install lighting and ice
plants, In the interest of ultimate econ
omy, and that, in addition. 1t had been
found that the timber supply on the
workhouse tract with which 1t was in
tended to supply fuel for the institution
soon would become exhausted. For this
reason 1t was necessary to include in the
deficiency estimate the amount of Sill 800
for fuel.

FALL FROM PONY
ALMOST FATAL
CLEMENS cLooTEN SUFFERS a
BROKEN JAW-kNocKEp
UNCONSCIOUS.

Bismarck, N. D., June 8.-CIemens
Clooten is suffering from a broken Jaw,
a badly lacerated face, and one eve is
almost closed as a result Of a bad
fall sustained when he was thrown
from his pony at the corner of Main
and Second streets.
Young Clooten was racing with an
other boy On his pony and turned the
corner at full speed. S. e. Bergeson
was driving down Main street and
young Clooten's pony coIlided with
MI. Bergeson's horse. 1t was going
too fast to check its speed and the
force of the impact knocked the pony
down, hurting it's young rider to the
hard road.
The police were Immediately noti-
fed and rushed the injured boy to a
surgeons office where for some time
grave fears were expressed as to his
recovery. Young Clooten was uncon-
scious, and an examination showed
that his lower jaw bone was broken,
his teeth were knocked out, one eye
was badly gashed and his face terri
bly, lacerated. He regained conscious
ness in a short time, however, and is
resting as easily as may be expected.
The pony was injured internally, al
though there was no exterior mark or
scratch from the collision.

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
BURKE
and RENVlLLE
SETTLING UP

Minot N, D., June S.-For the pur-
pose of perfecting a settlement be-
tween, Ward. Burke and Renville
counties, growing out Of the division.
the commissioners of the respective
counties met in joint session here yes
terday.
Since the last session, which was
held in May, the commissioners OF
Burke and Renville counties have
been carefully going Eel their fig
ures. These win now be compared
with the figures submitted by the
Ward county commissioners. At the
previous meetings the figures of the
new counties contained many items
which the Ward county commission
ers maintain were settled by the de-
cision of the supreme court in the
Mountrail county case.
1t may take several days before
a settlement can be arrived at, but it
is the intention to meet every day
until a decision is arrived at. Chair
man Jens Glein today stated that he
did not believe that 1t would be neces-
sary to go to court with the mat
ter. Most of the things have al
ready been made plain by the court
decision in Mountrail county case"
said Mr.. Glein. 81 don't believe that
any of us will care to go to the ex-
pense of having another trial."
