John Bird lives with a brother ano

They had missed considerable sra'n

house shorty after 9 o'clock thinking

had approached the granary on foot,
to reconnoiter, leaving his team and
wagon in coulee a short distance
from the building and on seeing the
owner, he Immediately opened fire
and fed.
Mr.. Bird was able to reach the
house, however, and Immediately sent
for DR.. Mclean of this city. He found
the injured man in considerable pain,
and suffering from loss of blood, but
unless blood poisoning sets in, will
recover.
Neighbors formed a posse and
searched the greater part of last night
for the thief, but without success, and
up to the time of printing The News
no clue of the perpetrator lad been
found. 1t is stated, however, that the
Bird boys have some well founded
suspicious, as to the guilty party, and
some startling developments may be
looked for within q short time.
In all, something over 200 bushels
Of grain had been taken from the
granary, the thief having made two
successful raids before being seen.

M|N0T Will HAVE many
new BUILDINGS NEXT YEAR
Windsor and Leland Hotels Plan tx.
tensions-Many Other Propositions
Being Considered.

Plans are being made to do consid.
eraLle good building in Minot next
year.
John Hoellinger IS having plans
drawn for an eight foot ire proof ex-
tension to his popular Windsor hotel,
and work on this will undoubtedly
start early in the spring. Mr.. Hoel-
linser can hardly take care Of all OF
his business with his present estab-
lishment, altho he has more than one
hundred good rooms. He intends to
move out The old wooden structure,
formerly known as the Scandinavian
hotel.
C. H. Parker, proprietor of the Le-
land hotel, has been planning on
building large addition for some
time, and will most likely complete
his plans before spring. According
to a well founded rumor, he will build
a five story block in the spring, facing
First street and adjoining the Leland
hotel block, to be used for hotel pur
poses. If these plans mature, Minot
will have one of the largest hotels In
the state, provided with an electric
elevator.
The Dahl property on Ward street,
Just south of the Fauchald garage blk.
was bought recently and so foot
block will be erected on it In the
spring. This will be strictly modern
and fire proof.
The Rumely Threshing Co. has def-
initely decided to build large ware
house and office building in the spring
This Will be strictly modern and fire
proof.
The Emerson Wetmore Machinery Co.
is preparing to build large block In
the spring.
| At the present time, Contractor Din
ME is pushing the work On the Nor.
mai building, and concrete work on
Julius Fauchald's new block, cornse
First and Ramstad streets, began

completed. This building will be COM

IN SPECIAL MESSAGE TO CITY
COMMISSIONERS, MAYOR SAYS
LAWS WILL Be ENFORCED HERE

called to the attention of the police
commissioner and the chief. How
ever it is possible for the occasion tn
arise in which I might deem it. neces-
sary to use the authority given me
under this section.
Accordingly the sooner the police
department thoroughly understand
my policies the better it will be for
not only myself, and the police de.
partment, but for the citizens OF Mi
not, and my policies are going to be
as follows:
AS long as I am charged with the
enforcement of the laws of the city as
president of the City Commission,
gambling and violation of the prohib bi
ton law are not going to take place
if it is possible to get a police force
to prevent it and If the present po
lice force Is not large enough we
have the authority to select othel
men. If the present police force is
Indifferent or Incompetent to combat
with the above evils, I will appoint !;
special force that the law may be en-
forced. And while it is not my In
tention to override the police force
still I feel that In accepting this of
flee, tho duties Of which are defined
by law, assumed and promised the
inhabitants Of this city that woulc
perform the duties devolvlng upor
me. and I haye had no reason tt
change my mind.
I feel certain that either violation
Of the prohibition law or gamblint
cannot take place in this city withou
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1912-11-21

1t seems only too clear that gamb-
ling in this small town could not take
place unless the policemen did not
only have credible reason to believe
that it was taking place brt knew
that it was taking place and in eithe'
case under the above secion it !;
their duty not only to inform against
the offenders but in not doing 30 they
commit crime.
IN regard to the prohibition Law
call your attentio nto Sec. 1857. "It
shall be the duty of every sheriff,
deputy sheriff, constable, mayor, mar
shall, police Judge and police officer Of
any city or town having notice or
knowledge of any violations Of the
provisions of this chapter to notify
the states attorney of the fact
of such violation and to furnish
him the names of any witness
es within his knowledge by whom
such violation may be proven. If any
such officer shall fail to comply with
! the provisions Of this section he shall
upon conviction be fined in any sum
not less than 500 or more than $S0o
and such conviction shall be a for
feiture Of the office held by such per
son. For a failure or neglect Of Of
fetal duty in the enforcement Of this
chapter any Of the city or county off,
GERS herein referred to may be re-
moved by civil action"
It seems that the above statute Is
equally as strong a. the one first
above quoted.
Under the commission form OF gov
ernment 7 am charged with the duty
of enforcing the laws, and I owe II
first to myself and second to the cit
izens Of this city to gee that the laws
are enforced.
Wheher the law against the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors or the law against
gambling is a good law or bad one
is not for US to determine. The peo
pie by Incorporating the prohibition
law into the constitution, and the leg
islature in passing the gambling law
have established the law on these two
particular subjects and we are but the
instrument of the people to enforce
the above sections.
Under the provisions Of the sector
Of the laws of 1911, entitled "Commis
sion Form of Government" l an
charged with the enforcement Of sucl
laws and l am authorized to employ q
special police force to enforce such
laws. have not done so in the pas
because I believed that the police

In a ringing message to the board
of city commissioners Halvor L. Hal
vorson, president of the board, Mon
day night demanded that blind pigs
and gambling places which are said
to exist in this city should be closed
by the police.
Mr.. Halvorson declared that if the
police failed to do this they laid
themselves open to criminal charges,
and said that If the present police de-
partment could not cope with the SIT
uation he would get others who
could. .
A letter was also received By the
board from the directors of the Com
mercial club, asking that something
be done to remedy the conditions
which are said to exist in the city.
W. S. Shaw, police and fire COM
missioner, said that he had heard ru-
mors that gambling and selling Of IL
quor were going on in the city but that
it was extremely difficult to get def
mite proof on these points.
Both communications were filed as
part Of the records of the board.
Mr. Halvorson's message was "a
follows:
To the Board of Commissioners of the
City of Minot:
The conditions in the city of Minot
at this time are such that deem II
my duty to give You my views in q
special message.
Rumors have come to my ears that
both the prohibition law and the Law
against gambling are being violated
in this city. Rumor has 1t very open
ly that the city is infested with the
gamblers. Rumor has It also that nc
effort is being made by the police de
partment or the states attorney tc
eradicate the evils above referred to
We have a chief Of police and sl1
policemen. and 1t seems that this
should be enough to cope with any
situation that might arise in the city
especially on Main street.
If such conditions do exist cannot
assign any reason for It except thai
the police department is not fully in
formed as to their duties az police Of
ficere.
Accordingly l call your attention Il
the following provisions Of the stat
ute.
Sec. $3.50. 1T Is the duty of al
sheriffs, police officers, constables
and prosecuting or states attorney:
to inform against and prosecute al

son to believe are Offenders agains

omission to do so is punishable BY
