CHARGE OF POWDER
IN MANS FACE

Bowbells, N. D., Jan. 5.-John Norlin
has eschewed for a few days the use
of the big government rifles which
have been quite popular in n around
Bowbells during the past year or more
on account of their cheapness, and
promises to shun them entirely in the
future. While working in his machine
shop John was bothered considerably
by a bunch of CANNES making a lot
Of noise under the building and after
trying in vain to get them Jul from
there he finally took the big rifle and
with the intention of soaring them OUT
he fred a shot under the building.
For some reason or other the cartridge
in the gun exploded back giving John
a heavy charge Of powder in the face
and burning him badly around the
right eye. Had the charge went half
an inch farther to the right he would
have lost his eye. and is naturally
thankful for this lucky escape.

CLAIMS TO Be SON;
ASKS FOR ESTATE
YOUNG LAD INTERVIEWS IN
~THoRWALDsoN cAsE-TRlAL
SET FOR NEXT
MONTH.

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 5.-Suc-
cessful in having their missing brother,
Ole Thorwaldson, officially declared
dead, petitioners who asked that his
estate be placed in the hands Of an
administrator and be distributed
among his heirs, face a new propo-
sition in probate court today when Ole
Johan Christensen, aged IL, appeared
as an intervenor and asked that the
Northwestern Trust Co. be made ad-
ministrator and that he, as a son, be
given his share of the estate. valued at
approximately $4,000.
That he is the son of the missing
mar is the claim of young Christian
son, who is represented by Bangs.
Cooley & Hamilton, and he claims that
his identity as such son was admitted
by Thorwaldson in the presence Of wit
nesses. Many years ago the missing
mar was tried in the district court of
Grand Forks county in connection
with the birth of the boy.
AS a result of the intervention, Feb.
Is was fixed as the date for testi-
mony.
This morning testimony was offered
to show that a thorough search has
been made for ThorwaIdson, and on
that showing, Judge Hassell declared
Thorwaldson to be dead.

v. c. NORMAL
HAS new RECORD

Valley City, N. D., Jan. 5!-The reg
istration for the winter term at the
Valley City state Normal schooI Is
the largest in the history of the in
stitution. The summer school Of last
year exceeded the present registra-
ton but for a regular term enrolment,
the present establishes a new record.
For the entire term last year the reg
istration reached 541. This figure was
reached today and the total enrolment
for the term will probably reach the
500 mark. At chapel time the increase
over the enrolment for the fall term
was very noticeable and a visit to the
registrars ONCE revealed the fact that
the total was 100 greater. On the
third day of the winter term a year
ago the enrolment was 49,, while to-
day it reached SAL, an increase of
forty-nine, or an increase of approx
mateIy 10 per cent, In view of the
general business conditions throughout
the state, this increase in remarkable.
Hard times and business depression
cannot effect the steady growth of
the vigorous young state institution
which is fast becoming one of the best
known normals in the United States.
While the teachers experienced some
difficulty in reaching the city in time
for the opening of the term, they are
all at their desks and classes are or
ganized and at work. The congestion
has beer relieved in the old buildings
by the removal of the departments of
domestic science, manual training and
agriculture to the new hall of indus
trial arts.

A PARDON BOARD.


Bowman Pioneer; During the past
few weeks the members of the pardon
board OF North Dakota have had ii
handed up to them by the state press
in the way they deserve. That body
pardoned about 10 pei cent of the
prisoners in the Bismarck peniten-
tiary. Some Of the prisoners were
sent up for life for murder and some
of them for crimes against I'M
One OF the latter, Kell, by name, en-
doyed his liberty about a week, and Is
now in the clutches of the law again
charged with unlawful co-habitation.
1t is mighty easy for a criminal to
behave himself while he is within the
walls Of a prison, and some Of the peo-
pie get it into their heads that they
have reformed and should be given
their liberty. Once on the outside,
however. many Of them again return
to the life that put them behind the
bars.
We believe it high time that the
pardon board was abolished and the
pardoning power left with the governor
Of the state. who viii act under a law
expressly stating that no pardon shall
be granted unless evidence not intro
duced at the trial is produced, showing
c~onclusively that the prisoner is in
nocent. A judge and jury is supposed
to know what they ara about, when
they hear the evidence in a criminal
case, bring in a verdict of guilty and
sentence the prisoner to a certain num-
Der OF years / n the ~penitentiary. 1t
seems to us that when the hoard Of
pardons release these prisoners that
body is casting reflections on the
judge and jury that tried the case.
We believe in tempering justice
with mercy, but we don't believe in
turning a convict loose just because
some Of his friends ask for 1t.

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 5.-That
Red river navigation problems will be
solved when a series OF dams are con-
structed to conserve the water supply
is the contention OF the navigation
commission Of the Grand Forks Com
mercial club which will present ex-
tensive evidence on thai point when
Major Shunt of the war department
holds q hearing in Grand Forks Jan.
Is. Major Shunt also will hold hear
ings at Thief River Falls and Crook
ston, Mimi at which time he will con-
slider problems OF the Red Lake river.
The Grand Forks hearing is for the
Red Lake and the Red rivers COM
bined.
The hearings which will be held are
looked upon with particular import
ance at this time in view of the fact
that Congressman Helgesen Of North
Dakota has introduced a bill providing
an appropriation for extensive i'm
provement work IN the stream.
In urging the construction of a Sc
ries Of dams as a permanent insur-
ance against the possibility of periods
when the river would not be nayi-
gable, the Grand Forks transportation
commission will point u the fact
that the Increased cultivation of the
Red river valley, the adoption of more
intensified plans of farming, and the
movement prevalent among the land
owners to conserve the moisture, thus
preventing it from reaching the river.
have been responsible for materially
reducing the flow Of the stream. In
order to create a continuous supply
or water the dam is pointed to as the
most plausible conclusion.
At the present time the government
maintains a dredging crew on the
river, and thousands of dollars nave
been invested in freighters which
have up to this year piled with a
great deal of profit on the stream.
both north and south OF Grand Forks
the lands are of the very best. and
the farmers, in marketing their
grain, found the river transportation
scheme the most satisfactory. A dis
lance of fifty miles south and 100
miles north were covered in this man
ner, n such traffic will be resumed
again next spring in the event that
the river reaches a s%utficient height.
In urging the clearing away of log
jams in the Red Lake river the Grand
Forks commission believes the Red
river will profit by securing more wa

WEEPS WHEN SHE
GOES TO MOTHER
MYRTLE R0cNA, 8, PREFERS TO
STAY WITH WOMAN WHO HAS
CHERISHED HER.

st. Paul, Jan. 5.-Shrieking hyster-
ically, Mrs. William Schroeder of Vel
low Grass, Canada, was led from the
courthouse through one door this
morning while Myrtle Rogna, sh
years old, screamed and sobbed in the
arms of her mother, as she was car
ried u another door.
Judge Orr in district court had just
taken the child from Mrs. Schroeder,
who had cared for her since birth, and
given her to Mrs. Oscar Fonseth, 295
Aurora avenue, the mother, who had
not seen her baby for three years.
1t was a sad wedding trip to st.
Paul for Mrs. Schroeder and her hus-
band. They lived on adjoining farms
in Canada and were married three
weeks ago. Mrs. Fonseth was married
four months ago to a clerk employed
by Swift G. Co. at South st. Paul, and
they had set up housekeeping in three
rooms.
Refuse to Give Her Up.
Mrs. Fonseth wanted her child and
so wrote to her aunt, Mrs, Schroeder,
WHO Iplu HNI AiSboAHA nv WYNN 800
a wedding trip to st. Paul, take the
child along, and see for themselves
whether she had the promise of a pei
manent home with her mother. The
S~chroeders, who are wealthy farmers.
were not satisfied with conditions and
refused to give up little Myrtle. Then
the mother sued out a writ Of habeas
corpus.
Mrs. Schroeder protested to Judge
Orr that Mrs. Fonseth had w loved
the child, that she wished to leave it
two months after birth, and warned
the court shat the mother might tire
Of the little girl in a short time.
The Law Rules Differently.
The Judge. however, said the law
was that the mother should have Myr-'
tie. and he so directed. Myrtle caring
little for the law, wanted Mrs. Schroe-
der, and set up a piteous wall when
she was taken from the arms of the
only mother she had ever known.
Even Has a Bank Account.
ooh. judge, am l to lose her. after I
nave cared for her so long?" sobbed
Mrs. Schroeder. There can't be any
justice in your country. Haven't 1
been a. good mother to her when she
had no other? Didn't l keep my daugh-
Ter out of college a yea to care for
aer?"
Between sobs. Mrs. Schroeder eS-
planned that, Myrtle had a tidy account
In a Canadian bank, money given her
from time to time to provide for her
future.
Judge Orr said that while he gave
the child to her mother, Myrtle would
be looked after by officers of the juve-
nile court, and il she is not well cared
Tor she will be taken from her mother
land given back to Mrs. Schroeder.

CASSELT0N WILL

Casselton, N. D.. Jan. 5.-A school
election was held in this city yester-
day for the purpose of submitting the
question of bonding the Casselton
school district for the sum of $4,000
to build a new high school. 1t re-
suited in an overwhelming victory for
bonds, 1853 being in favor and %
against.
This, with the funds already in the
treasury, will enable the district to
build a $4,000 edifce and work will
begin on the new structure just as
soon as the present term expires. The
citizens are quite jubiIant over the
result and believe it to be the begin
ming of a booming period, and other
public improvements are confidently
expected to follow.
