OBTAINED EVIDENCE
OF HIS INNOCENCE

Err TO PETTIsoNE TO SECURE
THE EVIDENCE.

Steele, N. D., Dec. 24.-To obtain
evidence with which to establish his
innocence Of the charge of stealing
grain. John Nell. held in the Kidder
county Jail here, induced Sheriff
Armstrong to go to Pettibone, this
county, with him, and there the official
was satisfied that certain evidence
given against Nen is at fault.
When Nell was arraigned in justice
court a witness claimed that he had
seen Nell driving a load of grain stolen
from a boXcar. In his evidence the
witness had given his own position. II
was while in Jail that Nell figured II
out that the witness could not possibly
have seen him from the place given,
and it was to prove this point that he
induced the sheriff to make the trip,

mitted that the contents of the wager
box in which Nell was charged with

OLD n. D.. AFFINITY
CAUSE OF DIVORCE

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 24.-Probably
no city in the state attracts more in
teresting characters than does Bis
marck. 1t seems to be the mecca for
all classes, and during the past forty
years of its existence no city in the
union has had a more varied popula-
ton, or has been surrounded with more
romance, political, social, financial, or
otherwise. OF its panoramic process
sion many interesting characters are
noted and now and then reappearS an
individual or a brace of characters,
which { is the tongues Of gossip awag.
Perhaps one of the latest, and by
no means the least interesting, is that
of AlonZo Thompson, an aged f~inancier
and real estate dealer, who was a resi-
dent of this city for a few brief months
during the summer of 1911, and who
was commonly known as millionaire
Thompson.
Il" Sued for Divorce.
This gentleman has recently been
brought into the limelight through di-
Vorce proceedings in Denver, accord
ing to newspaper reports, 1t being al
legged by his wife that he had deserted
her and left her without support. She
was granted a divorce in the district
court at Denver last week, the decree
carrying with it the provision for the
} payment Of $325,0O0 permanent ALI
mony and $4,000 for service rendered
by her attorney, which is claimed by
The Denver Times as being the largest
fee allowed by q Denver court.
Thompson in Bismarck.
Along in the spring or 1911 Mr.
Thompson arrived in this city accom-
panied by a rather fair and buxum las
sic of As winters, who claimed to be
the confidential secretary of the ole
gentleman, M in fact she OBLIGATED
in the capacity of s~tenographer. She
passed under the name of Mrs. N. S
Noyes, and Is named in Mrs. Thomp-
sons complaint as one of the SOU
mates or affinities" of her husband
Notwithstanding the fact that he is in
the neighborhood of 80 years of age.
When they arrived in this city, Mr.
Thompson and Mrs. Moves boarded
around" but for the greater part OF
the time stopped at the home OF g
well known family on Seventh street
Mr.. Thompson secured business apart
mentS in the City National bank block
from which he directed his business
being extensively interested not only
in Burleigh county lands, but in lands
w the entire state. He is estimated
at being worth about 81, 700, 900 and
the volume of his business was carried
on from these quarters during the
summer of 1911. Finally he and Mrs
Noyes closed up their affairs and left
the city, and that was the last hearo
of them until the, above story appeared
in The Minneapolis Tribune of Sunday
last.
Ina smuch as there are many in Bis
marck who were well acquainted with
these parties the subject is one Of
much interest and will again furnish
a topic of conversation, for awhile a
least, or until something more absorb
ing occurs-which may not be long.

A membership fee of $3.50 and

No new portion of the state ever
started off with such flattering pros
poets. The extent OF Missouri river
with it's beautiful woods and pictur-
'esque scenery, the fertile agricultural
lands, it's wealth of coal and pottery
clay; with two main lines of great
transcontinental railways, the Great
Northern and 500, crossing It, make
of the Berthold reservation radius the
finest field for exploitation in the
state. The development league is
an index its settlers are awake to its
possibilities.

NITRO GLYCERENE
IN CAR NEXT TO
A BURNING CAR.

Portal, N. d. Dec. 24.--Con-
siderable excitement was caused
in the G. p. r. yards when a car
containing thirty-five cases of
honey and household effects con-
signed to Moose Jaw took fir
from a car heater and a and
contents were completely destroy
ed, and much sweetness was vast
ed upon the prairie air. Right next
to the above ear was a a con-
tanning thirty drums of nitro
glycerine, and no time was lost In
getting q considerable distance
between the two cars. While the
goods were burning some of the
bystanders were trying to fish out
some of the boxes by "a Of
poles, but this pastime was alb
ruptly interrupted by a practical
joker's throwing a few torpedoes
into the flames, and then there
were Glacians running on the
double-quick in all directions.

JAS. VIKMUND OF
nSEk SUICIDES
WEALTHY FARMER LIVING NEAR
THERE ENDED HIS
LIFE.

Pisek, N. d., Dec. 24.-James yik-
n1und, known as one OF the richest
farmers in this part of the state, COM
mitted suicide at his home about two
miles north of here. He used revolver
to end his life, shooting himself
through the heart. The suicide occur
red in the granary at about 1880 o'clock
while the rest of the family members
were at church. One of the sons, on
entering the granary, discovered the
body about hree-quarters of an hour
later.
No cause for yikmund's suicide can
be given, although it is believed by
local residents that family trouble
had something to do with 1t. Al cor
oner's inquest was held later in the
day, and a verdict of suicide was re-
turned.
Vikmund was one of the most pros
porous farmers in the vicinity of
Pisek. and his suicide has created
somewhat of a sensation in the COM
munity. He viii be buried tomorrow
morning. He leaves a wife and four
sons and four daughters.
