STRANGER INSULTS GIRL.
Boomer by Name Of Mcmahon Had
Eiendiah Purpose on Child.

MANDAN, July 15.-Outrageous is
an inadequate term to describe the
act of a stranger in this city, who
gave his name as Michael Mcmahon
and residence as New York City. The
w%ell-dressed fend met a 1~2-year-old
local girl whose name is withheld for
obvious reasons, upon the Main
street of the city and addressed her,
asking her age, what school she went
to, ETC., and finally stated that this is
too small a town to live In, and ask
ed her if she didn't want to 60 away.
The child became frightened and
hurried home, where she was play
ing with other children only a few
minutes later, when the same man
came up again and asked if the man
Of the house was at home. One of
the little tots replied no, and the man
forthwith set out in pursuit of the
same girl, who ran into the house,
followed part way by the man, who,
when he encountered the mother, beat
a hasty retreat.
The father happened along about
that time, and seeing the commotion,
set out in pursuit of the man, whom
he caught and had placed under ar.
rest. 1t developed that dastardly ap.
proaches had been made upon another
little tot in this city, and the man is
now being held pending Justice trial,

BETTER FARMING

counts

DEVILS LAKE, July 15.-Indians
are adopting better farming methods
on the Fort rotten Indian reserva.
ton, according to Ignat1us Court, a
leader Of the Reds, numbering $50,
There are about two hundred Indian
farmers, and they, with their children
| possess about 100000 acres, much Of
which. of course, is not under cult
| walton.
The Indians on my reservation,
said MI. Court, have become thrifty.
They are not slow to realize that to
make their farms pay right, they must
farm them in the right way. You
would be surprised If you should see
just how well they do their work;
their farming compares we'll with
that Of the white farmers in the dist.
riot.
"Our Indians are becoming indie.
pendent. Many of them have com.
Portable bank accounts. The young
people are showing interest in the
schools, and they are making much
progress"
Fort Totten Indians have only
about three years to wait before they
will be granted full patents to their
land. The lands are now held under
trust patents, issued under the treaty
Of 1890, which provided that trust
patents should be issued for a period
of twenty-five years, at the expiration
of which full patents should be grant
ed if the Indians showed they were
capable of caring for themselves. Mr..
Court believes the Indians have
shown their ability to do this.

MORTON COUNTY AFFAIRS.
Annual Session is Filled with import.

ton Filed.
MANDAN, July 15.-An unusual
amount of important business Is com
ing up before the county commission
ers at their regular annual meeting,
held in July each year. Aside from
the usual weeks routine work, they
are sitting as an equalization board
as a canvassing board, as an auditing
board, and are hearing special petit
tons. The session was commenced
last week, when most of the routine
business was attended to, after which
the board organized as a board OF
equalization, at which work they have
been engaged since, with the excep,
ton of a day OF SO spent as a can
vassing board.
The first of the week the commits
sioners received a petition from the
residents of the southeastern portion
of the county praying that the ques.
ton of forming Clark county be put
before the people of the county at the
general election this fall. This pro-
posed county includes the "a south
eastern townships of Morton county,
south Of Mandan and east of Grant
county. The petition was presented
by the following Flasherites: Harve
SEVERN, w. F. Berrier, j. X. Mcleod,
H. H. Thomas, r. H. Nicely, AL Busch,
Ed Stone, Vim. Dopking, c. L. Ras-
mussen and w. J. Grabenhorst. The
commissioners granted the petition,
and the question, with that of Lincoln
and Grant counties, will be before the
voters Of the county on the ballot
this fall.
1t is thought by the commissioners
that their work at this session, which
includes going over the county books
for the fiscal year ending June 30, and
closing up the years accounts, will
not be finished for at least ten days.

SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Dickinson Press: Senator A. L..
Martin was in Dickinson and stated
that good crops, cattle, sheep and
horses were of more interest to him
than politics. Mr.. Martin is far o
sue essful in the. cultivation of crops
than many farmers. AS he sees it
every farmer who is Industrious has
a fortune at his command If he will
only make the most of his opportulli-
ties. MI. Martin has 100 acres of bar
ley that promise a yield of 40 bushels
to the acre. which at present price,
will make a man handsome returns
on his investment. His 200 acres Of
wheat and rs acres of oats r look
ing fine. The Martin and Stoddard
wool clip of $4,000 pounds was sold
at zoe per pound this year.

PARocAiAL SCHOOL TO OPEN.
Catholics viii Probably Start |nstitu-
ton This Fall.

MANDAN, July appropriations
are going steadily forward for the
opening this fall of a parochial school
by the Catholics of this community, a
step which they have long been con.
sidering. No definite plans on the
part of the committe have as yet
come to light, but they have been
looking into conditions In this region
and seem to find that they warrant
such an undertaking.
Contrary to what seems the
general idea, the school, II opened,
will not be in the old Catholic church,
but in the basement of the new. 1t
is planned to lower the level of this
basement and put In cement flooring
steel ceiling, and make other neces.
sary improvements, which will make
it one Of the cosiest halls in the city.
There Is ample room in the basement
for a school, an auditorium, a chapel,
and even a kitchen and dining hall.
The old church will be used as a home
for the Sisters who will have charge
of the school.
No idea has been given out as to
the number of children who will prob.
ably attend, how many teachers Will
be employed, ETC., but that the school
will open this fall unless something
unforeseen occurs, is now certain.

seem to justify the step which Nor.
