BETTER FARMING
WAS SUCCESSFUL

Minot Independent: Major
Murphy rode out to James SEQ
held's biz farm south of the city
Tuesday evening and inspected
the 5000 acres or more OF crop.
Mr. Murphy says that Scofeld
has 1900 acres OF early wheat
that viii surely go twenty to thir-
~ bushels per acre and the late
wheat is doing well. Mr.. ScoheId
plowed his land deep and did good
farming in general This, together
with ideal climate conditions pro-
duced the finest crop he has ever
raised.

SUND sent Up
FOR YEAR And HALF

Langdon Republican,: During the
closing hours of the session
Judge Kneeshaw was kept busy wind
ing up the business of the two weeks
work and adjourned Monday after
noon.
AS we went to press last week the
trial of Ole Sund, Of Csnabrock, was
started. AS stated he was charged
with the embezzlement Of funds be-
longing to the Farmers elevator at
O%snabrock, of which he was manager.
Friday night all the evidence was In
and the evening was occupied with
the arguments of the attorneys andsthe
first thing Saturday morning the case
was given to the jury, which brought
in a verdict of guilty as charged and
a sentence of year and six months
in the penitentiary was imposed
by the court. Notice OF appeal has
already been served and an appeal to
tho supreme court may be taken.
During the closing hours the court
had many sentences to pronounce,
among them that of Amos Abbott who
was found guilty Of the illegal sale OF
liquor at Nekoma, but when his
turn came he turned up missing and
his bond of $500 was declared forfeited
which together with the Tovey bail
Of 5000 forfeited early in the session,
makes $500 In all.
Fred KeIp of Easily, was given
ninety days and $50 fine with a pro-
vision that IL the fine is not paid he
is to serve an additional 100 days. In
the other ease where the defendants
plead guilty sentence was suspended
pending their good behavior in the
future, but with the full understand
ing that If at any time they depart
from the straight path they will be
hauled up before the court and giveI
the full dose. In these 8 the de-
! PENDANTS were not habitual criminals
and a lesson like this may keep then
from going wrong In the future. It il
not the aim of the court or the states
attorneys office to fill the Jail, bui
to prevent lawIessness and promote
decency In the community with the
least friction and they believed tina
in these cases this purpose can be &C.
complished in this way. but In cas-
Ii doesn't have the desired effect NOR,
vigorous methods win be adopted
These fellows are now put on thei,
good behavior Ind 1t is UP to them
selves whether they keep out of jai
or not.
Anton Flemish was given a year
penitentiary sentence on a plea o
guilty to assault with a dangerou
weapon, which sentence was temperet
with a parole conditioned on futur
good behavior. David st. Vincen
OF Olga, charged with assault AM
battery, was also given a ~suspende,
sentence owing to having alread,
been in jail a considerable length o
time awaiting this term Of court.

Columbia.

The Behman Show, for many years re-
garded as one of the foremost burlesque
organizations, comes TO the Columbia
Theatre this week. The persistent effort
that has for several seasons past been
put forth by the Columbia Amusement
Company to. bring burlesque up TO
praiseworthy condition and make II at
tractlve to the better element Of theatre
goers is said TO have been completely re-
sponded TO by the management OF the
Behman Show. A new two-act burlesque
called "A Mix-Up at Newport" will be
produced by a company that includes sew
eral OF the most prominent comedians
and singers in this division Of stage
work Among them are Lew Kelly, the
Misses Fannie and Kitty Watson, Fred
Wyckoff Lon Hascall, Vic Casmore and
Ameta Pynes, and there is a large chorus
made up exclusively Of girls. The seen
cry. costumes and electrical effects en-
ployed in this production are said to be
equal TO the best that have been seen In
the most pretentious presentations Of mu-
steal comedy
