INSTANTLY KILLED
BY LIGHTNING

Minot, N. D., Sept. Oscar John
son, aged %, vas probably instantly
killed when struck by a bolt of light
ming on a farm four miles northeast
of Surrey.
Johnson was working in a wheat
held on the Dave Burns farm. An
electrical storm arose at about 4
O'clock, but Johnson evidently believ-
ed that it would pass and therefore
did not seek shelter. Following the
storm h young mans body was
found in the field. He tightly clutch
ed two sheaves of grain in his hands
and from all appearances the bolt had
passed directly through his body. His
clothing was ripped in strips and his
shoes were torn from his feet. Judge
Murray, as acting coroner, was called
and he together with Sheriff Ed Kelly
arrived at the scene Of the fatality
at about 1880. Owing to the heavy
deluge of rain which made the roads
almost impossible they did not ar
rive here with the body until late at
night. 1t was decided that no inquest
would be necessary.
Johnson came to Minot with Coll
mars circus. He left the show at
Norwich and went to work on a farm.
From Norwich he went to Surrey
where he obtained work from Dave
Burns, starting Wednesday morning.

found DEATH ON
A COT IN CELL

Williston, N. D.. Sept. 2.-Death
on a cot in the city jail, without
a relative or friend to hear a part
ing word or shed a tear, was the fate
of an unknown a a sad specimen
of humanity, a wanderer on the face
Of the earth who was taken in charge
soon after midnight Tuesday night
by the police.
He was reported to the police as
intoxicated and making himself OBJ
noxious. After getting him to the
jail, Night Policeman Bemis noticed
that his prisoner was i'll. After a few
minutes he became worse and COM
planned that he was suffering greatly.
The officer summoned DR.. Jones and
fortunate was found to be much
worse and 500 was unable to speak.
About 1880 he expired, apparently
from poisoning. He had been drink
ing heavily and told another party at
the Jail that he drank wood alco-
hol, and it has since been learned
that several days ago he purchased
a quantity of wood alcohol and on
Tuesday he procured from a local
grocery six bottles of lemon extract.
In his pocket was found a small
memorandum book, on the front page
of which was written, "W. Robe.
born in Prussia, Germany, September
14th, 1854. Came to United States
October, 1885," The cover of the
memorandum book had been part of
an advertisement put on by a cloth
ing dealer named Levitt, Oregon City.
Ore. The leaves now in the book
had been inserted and sewed in
by. hand, indicating that the original
pages of the book had all been used
and torn out. There can be little
question that Robe was the mans
name, as he had registered under it
at a local lodging house. He had
worked a few days in the harvest
fields since coming here.
The deceased was a man of about
medium height and weighed about
100 pounds. He was rather dark of
complexion and wore a stubby mus
tache.

day and the following day they were
located at Outlook, Mont. Here, how
ever, all trace was lost of them, al
though Sheriff Nelson a kept con-
stantly in touch with the authorities in
the western states, hoping that he
might &c some trace of tenn. He
learned that Keiser had been in Sheri-
possible he might return there on this
trip, notified Sheriff Hoop, furnishing
an excellent description of the men.
On the night of Aug. I'll the sher-
ifs deputies saw two men on horse
back and the mex morning made a.
careful investigation, with the result
that the men were identified and placed
under arrest just one month after leav-
ing the state.
They denied the charges against
them al first, but when Sheriff Nelson
arrived and identified the saddles and
one of the horses, they signified their
Willingness to return to North Da-
kota without extradition. 1t Is thought
that h me will enter pleas of gull
ty and throw themselves upon the
mercy of the court.
Both Very Young.
Both men are very young being
ABOUT 20 years of age. Bogges'
parents are respected farmers residing
northeast of Crosby. Keiser, it is be-
leved, came to North Dakota from
Wisconsin. Since coming to Crosby
about six months ago he has been en-
pioyed In the round house by the
Great Northern. Neither young man
had ever before created any disturb
ance and they were we'll thought Of
In the community. No one, for 2, time,
would associate the idea of horse
stealing with them.
Sheriff Nelson is of the opinion that
they failed to realize the serious
ness of their crime. He thinks thev
wanted a little adventure, and thew cot

we're CAPTURED

Minot, N. D., Sept. 2.-Sheriff Hen
ry Nelson Of Divide county spent
several hours in Minot before begin
ming the last lap of over 1000 miles.
upon which he took into custody
Sylvester Bogges and William Keiser,
both of whom are charged with steal
ing horses at Crosby. The men were
lodged in the Ward county Jail here
during Mr.. Nelson's stay in the city.
Captured After Long Search.
A long search of exactly four weeks
has been kept up for the alleged horse
thieves. On the morning of July %,
Fred Shaber of Crosby discovered a
horse and saddle missing and that
same morning G. E. Erickon. a farmer
residing about five miles northeast of
Crosby, also reported a horse and sad
die gone. Suspicion Dor settled upon
Bogges and Keiser, owing to the fact
that they had been around Crosby the
evening before and were missing the
next morning when the theft of the
horses was reported. Parties north of
Ambrose reported that they had seen
the two men travelling west that same

too, worked equally hard and in the
open and he, too, laid the foundation
for a strong and rugged constitution
that long years of activity here only
kept in good shape. Money came
very slowly with them and they
could not wait to secure enough to
bring them to the wonderful land
across the seas, and so Mr.. Schultz
borrowed money to come here.
How much money did / have when
/ came here?" asked Mr.. Schultz, and
asserting:
81 had less than nothing. I had
to borrow money to pay my fare.
But l wouldn't have to now" and he
shook with humor at the situation.
For five years they have made their
home in jamestown, where Mr.. Schultz
worked out, helping in the construc-
ton Of the early part of the Glad
stone block, the courthouse and
other buildings in jamestown. Then
he went to Ypsilanti and nine miles
east of there bought a small quanti-
ty of land which al added to from
the owner Of 1,12O acres of as fine
land as there is to be found in all
Stutsman county. Here he erected
not long ago a $4,000 home, put UP
comfortable form buildings and paid
for it all out of the proceeds Of his
farm.

Co. with large holdings adjoining.
finally induced Mr.. Schultz to part
with his farm, which he did this
week, at $50 an acre, reserving TO
himself the personal property and
the chrop this year, conservatively es-
timated worth a third Of the pUr-
chase price besides. He will occupy
the home until March 1 next. Some
$40 acres of the farm Is under culti-
walton and 250 acres are in pasture.
During all the time Mr.. Schultz
has been a resident Of Stutmsan
county he has been paying all his
living expenses and acquiring wealth
at the rate Of an average of 81, 500
a year. And when he Contemplates
his stay here William smiles. For
why shouldn't he?
Thirteen children have been born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz, and all but
TWO of them are alive and we'll and
some Cf them have families Of their
own.
The success of Mr. and Mrs.
Schultz Is not isolated but may fair
ly be considered TYPICAL of hundr eds
Of others in many portions of Stuts-
man county.
The future of Mr.. and Mrs.
Schults has not been fully determined.
out it is quite probable tina they will
move to jamestown to make their
permanent home here.

Commissioner Gilbreath has receiv-
ed lis barrels of cement donated
by the Union Portland Cement Co.,
for the purpose of constructing two
silos on the exposition grounds Work
will commence on the first one at
once. as it is desired to complete it
as soon as possible and fill it with en-
siiage to be fed the cows, which will
enter the milking and dairy contests at
the exposition. The second will be
erected during the exposition, at
which time the work will be done in
order that those visiting the exposi-

This will be a very interesting feature
to those contemplating h erection Of

Affects Seed Grain Shipments.
The railroad commission is endeav-
oring to secure a half rate on the fall
shipment of seed grain into the state.
Prior to last January the railroads
published a tariff affecting interstate
shipments of seed grain. This tariff

ments and permitted not only spring
shipments of seed grain into the state
on a reduced rate, but applied also to
rye and winter wheat coming in for
that purpose. A new tariff was pub
lished in February, but in arranging
it the compiler overlooked the pro-
vision for fall shipments. The COM
mission has now requested the COM
panies to reinstate the half rate for
the purpose of encouraging the fall
planting.

year, and compared with that of
1911. Inasmuch as the detailed re-
port of railroad lines in process of
construction are not furnished the au-
ditor, the railroad assessment is ap-
proximated. The increased assess
ed acreage Is approximately 1,100,0 900
acres. Following are the figures de-
cided upon:

It will be noticed that there is a
slight decrease in the personal prop
trey. This was anticipated, though
1t is hardly as much as was expected.
This is due to several causes All
merchants, al least the great majority
of them carried a very low stock last
spring owing to the two bad years
preceding. A great number Of cattle
were sold last year. and all railroad
building ceased last summer. All
these and many other facts entered
into the cause.

LITTLE EXTRA
WORK MADE BIG
YIELD INCREASE

Hazelton Republican: AS most all
the farmers are too busy to tarry in
town to figure out crop reports. we
could not get a very extensive esti-
mate this week. OF course, threshing
has but practically begun, and as yet
there are few actual figures to be
had, u those who have had their
threshing done are very well salts
fed over the results. John Lands
berger had a thirty-acre field of mac
aron1 wheat which threshed out thir-
ty-three bushels and forty pounds
to the acre. This field was disced
early last fall and let lie until later.
when 1t was plowed to a depth of
eight inches; other fields alongside
this yielded about twenty-five, which
shows what a little extra work will
do in some cases. While there is
plenty of wheat in the country which
will go just as good and which did
not have nearly as much work put
on them, on this particular land we
believe the work did lots of good.
The Batter brothers hard wheat
Yielded sixteen and one-half bushels
to the acre, and the durum a little
better than twenty: H. L. Briggle
threshed out different fields which
went from sixteen to twenty-one
bushels per acre; D. s. Viewers blue
St wheat averaged WenLy lone
bushels per acre, and there are sew
eral others who have gotten yields
of from fifteen to thirty bushels. Bar
ley seems to be running from thirty
six to ftfty-s bushels, and oats av-
erage about fifty.
We would like to hear. from every
farmer in this vicinity as soon as
they thresh, so that a good report
can be published. We will endeay-
or to give more figures as thresh-
ing progresses.
