Stacey will be charged with as

With the return of Stacey a

robbers, though it is expected he
will be able to tell something of
the men who had the Canadian
money.
Chief McWeeny reached his of

His first official act was to criti-

DisgraeefuI Stunt.

Hamilton Independent: A disgrace
full scene was enacted about 1880 Sun
doy morning when a certain section of
the neighborhood was startled out of
its peaceful slumber by the cry of
Murder! Murder!" The cry came
from a house tenanted by a gentleman
of color--known as "Moscoe." From
remarks picked up here and there we
learn that gambling and drinking had
been in progress by a crowd who had
gathered there for a pleasant" evening
and incidentally TO get something for
nothing, Things didn't turn out as
planned, however, and upon a demand
being made by Moscoe's white brothers
that he, as winner, return the money
IN the ground of cheating, such de-
mand being refused, they pounced up
on him with force sufficient to cause
the. darkey to utter his cry for help.
We don't know how Moscoe came out,
OF whether he's dead or alive, as he
hasn't been seen since, but we do know
that public sentiment has about reach
ed the limit in matters Of this kind,
and that the ommon b~ootlegger will
no longer be tolerated in our midst
upon the ground that IF you interfere
with me / will see that those higher
up are not left unmolested." This Is
a season of the year when strict order
should be maintained, and this is inn
possible with laxity upon the part of
the authorities in the matter of law
enforcement. (

Mill ENGINEER
Was NEAR DEATH
HAD NARROW ESCAPE FROM IA.
TAI INJURY WHEN STRUCK
BY PLANK.

jamestown; N. d., Aug. 26.-L. w.
Ingersoli for the past four years
chief engineer at the Russell Miller
mill, jamestown, had a narrow escape
from instant death at the mill Fri
day evening, and is now lying at the
City hospital with severe scalp
wounds, a federated ear and bruises
about his shulders. The engineer
was struck by a plank running from
the mill to a box car on the railroad
track and knocked head foremost in
to the boiler front when the heavy
plank hit him on the shoulders and
head He was picked up uncon-
sctous and did not come to until after
midnight. He is resting smeWhat
easier at the hospital today, and is
expected will soon recover from his
injuries.
The accident occurred about 6 p.
M, when Engineer Ingersoll was
walking through the boiler room. The
crew had been unloading coal down
a runaway or plank from a car on
the siding. When the train crew
pulled out the car, the plank remained
with one end in the building. Just
as h engineer passed, the heavy
timber swung quickly to one side,
catching him ~squarely on the shoul-
der and IN one side of his head, and
hurting him heavily into the boiler
front. Ingersoll dropped into a cor
ner with one ear cut almost in two,
two deep cuts upon the head, and a
bruised mastoid bone behind the ear.
DR.. Holt was called Immediately and
taking the injured man by auto to
the City hospital, dressed the wounds.
Ingersoll recovered consciousness af-
ter midnight, but was unable to recall
how the accident occurred.

fiattering reports sent out. TO verify
these, he made an extended trip into
North Dakota and he found that the
situation is wen better than he had
learned through the newspaper re-
ports.
Mr.. Van SAINT says that the crops
are universally good throughout North
Dakota, that business is on a firm
foundation, that all classes of enter
prises are on a solid footing and that
financial prospects for North Dakota
are very rosey.
A review OF the crop situation bas-
ed on the government reports indicate
that the farmers of North Dakota will
get practically $4,000, 900 more money
for their crops this year than during
any previous year. The wheat crop
alone is estimated at over 100000 900
in excess OF the record crop. There
is nearly 100 per cent increase in the
oat crop, and most of the other crops
show a big gain. Taken altogether 1t
is safe to say that the farmers will re-
alize $75, 900, 900 more in 1912 than
during any previous year.

WATKINS URGES
War ON PIGGERS

Bismarck, N. d. Aug 23.-To Whom
1t May Concern: 1 have sent letters to
every states attorney and sheriff in
the state, stating that many requests
are coming to the office of the North
Dakota Enforcement league asking
that a vigorous campaign be waged
against blind piggers and gamblers.
Farmers want relief from the drunk
enness, ~carousing and fights incident
to harvest where liquor is plenty, and
business men want the money on long
standing bills. IL these joints are al
lowed to run it will demoralize many

and the gamblers from the cities will
carry out Of the state many thousands
of dollars that should go to pay old

FOR ACID
TO END Her LIFE
1T WAS JUST A JEST, BUT TT
CAUSED SOME EXCITEMENT
AT DEVILS LAKE,

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 26.-When
Eva Emeigh called at a local drug
store and asked how much carbolic
acid it would take to poison a per-
son, she started something. Right
there was a commotion and ex-
element. The police were called out,
neighbors and friends notified and a
search made.
And it was all a joke, which how
ever faile ,dto produce a laugh from
some. Miss Emeigh had no idea that
she was taken seriously, although she
made the statement in the Ramsey
drug store that she was sick and
tired Of life. She was refused the
poison there and later she went to
Green's store where she purchased the
desired acid.
BY this time parties from the Ram
sey drug store telephoned and learn
ed what had happened. 1t was here
that the officers and friends we're
called into service, but the girl could
not be located at first. A sister. ac-
companied by officer Timboe at last
found her safe and sound, in company
with her mother, who wanted the acid
for purposes in the household.
The statement that she wanted the
carbolic acid to take was apparently
nothing more than an idle Jest, but
it is more than likely that she will
never repeat It.

STOLEN HORSES
we're LOCATED

Shields Enterprise: N. w. Owens
and Tom Twigg have returned from
Pollock, S. D., where they located a
horse and mare hat had been stolen
from their pasture this spring.
The horses were sold to j.. ]. Fene-
lon by a nan named Reynolds, who
received $3.50 for the animals. Later
Fenelon, who by the way is a banker,
sold the horse belonging to Nj. Twigg
to a party who moved to Montana,
where the horse is presumably yet.
AS Mr.. Fenelon refused to reimburse
them for the horses or produce the
animals, they got into communication
with the states attorneys and sheriff's
Offices, and a writ of r%eplevin will be
served by the sheriff on the parties
having the animals in their posses
sion
At the same time these horses YER
stolen a number of other animals also
disappeared from this section, and it
Is likely that an organized gang Of
horse thieves passed through here this
spring.

has been waiting a score of years for
their happy reunion in the great be-
yond.

DISHES ZOE ARTILLERY.
Minot Man Was Target for Sugar
Bowls and ketchup,

Minot, N. D., Aug. 26.-E. H. Bea1,
who runs a grocery store and restaur-
ant on the corner of Belyea and Fourth
avenue In the vicinity of the Great
Northern ice house, found himself the
target for several sugar bowls and
ketchup bottles in the hands of Henry
Moss, employed by BeaI as a cook.
1t appears that Moss was intoxicated
and succeeded in getting into a quar-
rel with his employer and started in at
once to take complete possession of the
place. The sugar bowls looked attrac-
tive as a means to this end and when
the supply Of these became exhausted
he started in on ketchup bottles. Mr..
Beal braved the onslaught, however,
and Moss made a hasty retreat.
The police were notified but failed to
find Moss until yesterday morning. He
was taken before Judge Murray on a
charge Of d~isorderIy conduct and fined
SO and costs or ten days in jail. Aft
err spending the night In the city bas-
tile, the proprietor of one of the lunch
counters, who needed a cook, paid
Moss, fine and he vas released.

Seed Lien Contest.

Bowbells, N. D., Aug. 26.-Mandamus
proceedings have been brought by
George Cunningham of this city
against Register of Deeds George Han
son and County Treasurer Olson, ask
ing hat the district court order the
former to record a certain deed which
he has refused to place on record.
That there is a seed lien of $500 against
the property in question which must
be paid before the deed can go on rec
ord Is the contention of the defense.
Mr.. Cunningham held a second
mortgage on the land in question and
in 1911 he secured seed from the coun-
sty giving a seed lien as security. I'm
der the law the lien holds against the
land in which the seed is put. There
was a foreclosure on the first mortgage
and Cunningham bought the sheriff's
deed. He believes that as the mort
gage was given prior to the lien. it is
also a prior right.
