Fargo. - Julius M. Hanson, who
Is 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 a main artery
near the stomach and Hanson died be-
fore he could be gotten upon the oper-
ating table at the hospital. To neigh
bors, who found him dying on the
sidewalk, Hanson was able to tell a
garbled story of what happened.
He said two masked white men,
both of whom We're 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 a
watch he had, they fled east.
With no description or clue upon
which to work the authorities are at
loss to know what to do. The mur-

committed on the same street and un-

GIRL HEAVILY FINED.
After Being Arrested on Several Pre-.
vious Occasions.

Fargo. -, After successfully outwit.
ting the police when arrested on pre-.
vious occasions Maude Davis, young
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 a plea
of not guilty and sent for witnesses
who testified in her favor. But this
time the case was so plain that any
attempt on her part to insist on her
innocence was futile. and Maude was
informed by Judge Miller that her po-
lice record in Fargo was established.
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. Sew
eral mornings ago the complainant
who appeared against her, testified she
had relieved him of $40 and the COM
plainant this morning said he missed

VICTIMS WILL LOST.
Mrs. H. r. chaffee, Armenia, Fights to
Carry Out Husbands Wishes. i,

Amenia.-The state of North Da-
kota has remarkable "lost will" case
involving, $2,0OO,0OO estate left by
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 Armenia, 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 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
ganizations is not known, but Mrs.
Chaffee 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 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
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.

NORTH DAKOTA LIGNITE.

Fargo.-The United States geologi.
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,
dian reservation lying north of the
Missouri river, in Mountrail, Mclean
and Ward counties. The area is tri.
angular, being about 35 miles from
north to south and 80 miles from east
to west.
The Ignite is dark brown to brown.
ish black but weathers to pitchy
black, so that on dry weathered sur.
face it looks like b-bituminous coal,
except that the fine woody structure
is not destroyed and can always be
detected with the naked eye, indicat.
ing that the Ignite is derived largely
from remains of trees and heavy vege.
tation. Like most Ignite, when ex.
posed to the atmosphere it checks,
falls to pieces, and breaks into small
irregular fragments with pitch-like
luster and brown streak.
Twelve beds OF Ignite were count
ed in the columnar section exposed,
none of them less than / foot thick.
For many years the only mining in
this area was done by the Indians, but
recently white settlers have entered
along the edge of the reservation and
taken out Ignite at several places. In
mining place is found where the
cover is comparatively thin-4 to 6
feet-but not so thin that the Ignite
is made worthless by weathering, the
cover is removed, and the Ignite tax
en- out. According to a reasonable
estimate the amount of available lig-
mite in the area examined is approxi-
, mately 1,800,000,O0O tons. Tests have
been made of North Dakota Ignite in
the gas producer and the results show
that it is we'll adapted to this use.
IN these tests the Ignite compares IA
vorably with some of the higher grades
of coal, and should that method of
utilizing fuel become more largely EN-.
ployed, the extensive Ignite fields of
the West will become great source
Of wealth to the nation.

The Folly of BETTING.

William B. Trembley, the swimming
hero of Funston's regiment in the
Philippines, visited New Orleans with
a friend while city clerk of Kansas
City, Kan. Walking down Dauphine
street one n'osning the friend was
boasting how he would bankrupt the
bookmakers., Looking up from the
paper he was reading Trembley saw
boulevard ahead marked "Oleander
Way"
"You bet the races" he exclaimed.
"Why, I'll bet you $40 you can't guess
the name of that street yonder."
The friend looked ahead and saw
the sign. "I'll take you, even money"
he said. tits Oleander way, you
rummy, there's the sign"
$50 it u.s." said Trembley, "but you
oughtn't to believe in signs. Look
here"
Trembley, being city clerk, natur.
ally was attracted by column story
of the proceedings of the New Orleans
council on the night before. Right in
the lead paragraph he showed his
friend the tragic evidence-the pass

name of Oleander way to Jackson

near Williston, the river cut across a
small peninsula of land which had
withstood the pressure of the spring
freshet and floods. and cut off 1000
acres of Mckenzie county soil and
transferred it to Williams county. A
