VALUABLE TEAM
LOST AT MANDAN
HJALMAR sWAN5ERG DROVE
HORSES INTO WELL IN
SYNDICATE.

Mandan. N. D.. Sept. so.-Driving
about in the dark, Hjalmar Swanberg
unwittingly drove his team to their
death in the Syndicate, when both
horses fell into a well. The accident
happened about midnight, when Swan
berg was driving from the city toward
his home about seventeen miles south
west of here. He turned into the alley
In the rear of the Martin Paulson res
idence on Eighth avenu southwest
and drove toward the door of a small
cottage belonging to Mr.. Paulson,
where Magnus Ulrickson, Stone mail
driver, patches it." Mr.. Swanberg in
tended stopping there for the night If
Mr.. Ulrickson was home.
Just east OF the cottage Is an old
well, the pump for which was pulled
up sonne time ago. Mr.. Swanberg
drove his team onto the planks Of this
well, not being able to see them, and
they broke, letting one horse down at
once, the other being gradually pulled
in by the harness. Help was summon
ed and several men worked three hours
digging out the well, but by that time
both horses were dead, one having
died within fifteen minutes the other
in about two hours.
The team was a beautiful and a
valuable one, one horse being q g.
year-old gray, and the other a 4-year-
old bay. Quite recently Mr.. SWanberg
had refused an offer of $500 for the
team,

SECOND WARRANT
FOR ELOPERS

Bowbells, N, D.. Sept. 30.-John Han
son of west of the city, who last
week swore out a warrant for the ar
rest of John lessen in Justice Ran
dall's court, charging that Jessen had
abducted his 15-year-old daughter, but
who a few days later came to town
and withdrew his complaint, paying
all the costs, on Wednesday of this
week made another complaint, this time
in the court of Justice G.. j.. Kopriva.
The young couple have not yet been
located, but it is believed they are
somewhere in Montana. They have
been traced as far as White Earth,
from which place it is believed that
they went west.
On inquiry it was found that Jes-
sen and the girl arrived In Powers
Lake some time Monday morning of
last week and that they left the rig
belonging to Jessen's father In d Iiv-
cry barn at that place and employed
a pool hall man to drive them to White
Earth. The horse and buggy have
been returned to the owner. We learn
that. young lessen had some money
with him when he left and that he
was able to pay his way wherever he
went. The warrant has been handed
to an officer and ar arrest is likely
to take place.

MORNING PATRIOT

Valley City Patriot: Subscribers
and others are hereby notified that
after Sunday morning, Sept. 20, The
Valley City Morning Patriot will SuS-
pend publication. For more than five
years the publisher has shouIdered
alone a burden of responsibility and
expense, which had he been able to
have accurately forecast, 1t is doubt
full if he would have assumed the
task. The question has sometimes been
asked, does it pay?" We now an
swer hat question both yes n no.
Yes, in the consciousness that one has
in the thought that he is honestly
and faithfully expanding his time and
such talent as he MAY possess for the
betterment, morally, socially and ply
stcafly of the community in which he
lives. Financially Emphatically We
answer No ! Standing as an indie
pendent proposition, without the back
ing and support of q weekly edition
and a job Office, a daily newspaper in
a town approximating the size of VAL
ley City could not survive a month.
And even with that support, it will
swallow up in its capacious NAV the
profits of all other departments of the
business, unless the most rigid econ
omy is exercised. This is the lesson
we have learned in the past five years,
in publishing a daily paper which has
swallowed up, in cash and labor, near
ly $4,000 Of our profits. There is al
old saying, that zone is never toe old
to learn"-and we have learned our
lesson, and are forever done with pub
fishing a daily newspaper in a small
city:
The Weekly Patriot will continue to
be published al usual.

twelve BUSHELS
EVERY MINUTE

Denhoff, Sept. So.-Some Of the
threshing reports brought in this fall
are astonishing and in fact, really
test ones credulity. Some localities
consider that when oats at the
rate of nine bushels per minute they
are going some. However, we have
heard of oats running even better than
that from several threshing machine
men in the vicinity of Denhoff. John
Wacker's machine, while threshing
oats at the Grand View farm, struck
a field that during two hours contin-
uous run averaged twenty-four dumps
of weigher per minute. This makes
an average OF twelve bushels per min
ute.
Joseph Engei's machine, while
~threshing his w grain. averaged
eleven bushels per minute of oats. II
anyone doubts the veracity OF these
reports, just ask Tom Dunn, who timed
the Wacker machine while it was
threshing for him on the Grand View
farm, or S Joseph Engel himself.

Our grandmothers kept their hair soft

This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company Of New

superior preparation of Sage, combtn-
ed with Sulphur and other valuable
remedies for dandruff, itching scalp,

The beauty of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading than any
thing else. Don't have dry, harsh fad

edy will bring back the color in a few
