Bismarck. n. D., Aug. 15.-A rep.
resentative of the American Museum
of Natural History of New York who

the representative feels very fortu-

specimen.
The bow was secured from Wolf

made by Wolf chief himself this sum-
mer. Wolf thief when questioned
about the bow and how it was made
told the following story in his own
language:
Elk Horn bows have been made
Ivy our fathers ever since the world
began. We did not use them for war
or to shoot buffaloes. but We're used
for dress occasions or what you white

Horn bow but could not use them in
a battle as they might break. They

turn to a pretty blue. The Elk horn
bow is thrust up through the CULVER
and al the end of the horn is fasten~
ed a piece of scalp or porcupine quill
to show the owner's mark of honor.
The Elk horn bows are handsome
and We value them as much as a

Mr.. Cotton had been on a trip a
number of miles east of town and
wa returning alone when the acct
dent occurred. Flo the past veal he
has been running a stage between
New England and Dickinson With his
Case touring car. There are several
different reasons as to the cause of
the car burning up. There may have
been 4 leak in h gasoline tank.

We're several county auditors and
railroad attorneys who appeared be-
tore the hoard. The afternoon was
taken up with arguments by the at
torlleys and discussions on the part
of some of the county officials.
Geo. ~ Kingsley of the legal de
partment of the 500 line represented
that company. Tax Commissioner
NJ. 7. Sanders appeared for the
Northern Pacific. Attorney Maher
and Tax Commissioner Hayden rep
resented the Great Northern.
There were n" complaints on the
part of the railroads. except the 500
line which held that they had been
raised unduly high and asked for a
reduction. This is the first time in
several years hat a railroad COM
pany has asked for a reduction.
Among the county officers present
were:
III. F. Emery. city assessor for Far
go: r. j.. Rush. chairman county com
m%issioners, Cass county: Addison
Leech. auditor Cass county; Chas. w.
Nelson. auditor Barnes county: r. u.

tor of Grand Forks county; Jas. a.
Brown, auditor of Rolette county.
1t is probable that nos of the
sessions of the board will be called
to order about 2 o'clock. as it has
proved more satisfactory. because of
giving each officer more time to get
the work of his office out of the
way in the forenoon.

Broomhall cabled that the firmness

The firmness in the Liverpool mar

prompted by the lack of speculative
