was drowned in Knife river about a
mile east Of Manning at. 8 o'clock last
Sunday.
Young Davis in company with sew
eral Of the boys from Manning was
swimming in a deep pool IN the river
known as Beaver Dam when suddenly
he called for help and Immediately
went down. The boys hurried to. his
assistance but he failed to come to the
top again and 1t was the middle OF the
afternoon before his body was found.
He may have been taken with
cramps, but his friends generally at
tribute 1t to heart failure. His heart
was more or less affected from q. bullet
wound in his left side which he re-
ceived several months ago. He was a
good swimmer and the water where
he was drowned vas about twelve feet
deep.

FIREBUG WORKS
AT HILLSBORO

Hillsboro, N. d., July s.-One barn
was entirely destroyed and three 9TH
ers partially ruined at Hillsboro, when
a blaze Of i~ncendiary origin broke out
in the barn Of Sever Nelson and
spread to adjoining buildings.
The structures were discovered to
be afre about 2 a. M, and in a few
minutes the fire department and a
large brigade of buckets were fighting
the flames with buckets, hose and 9TH
er paraphernalia. 1t developer that
the drebug had done his work well,
however, and the Sever Nelson barn
was burned to the ground. An auto
shed belonging to p. j. Berg, and the
barn of G. f.. butcher and the barn of
John Olson had the ends badly scorch-
ed and would also have been flame
ridden but for the work of the depart
ment and citizens. The loss will to-
tai several thousand dollars.
The citizens of the Trail county
metropolis are up in arms over the
event, this being about the fifteenth
fire started by mysterious hands
within the past five years. There has
been a standing reward for culprit
for some time past, and the amount
has been doubled by the citizens. Al
certain man of middle age, who is
said to be of weak mind, is suspected
of the crimes, but If he is the guilty
party he covers his tracks well, as
strenuous efforts to connect him with
the starting of the fires have proved
unavailing to date. The watch will
be kept up however, and according
to a prominent resident, something is
bound to drop IL the guilty party is
caught with the goods.

HAD HOT FIRE
FOR BREAKFAST

Williston, N. D., July SIT was the
Fourth of July Sin the mornin' " on
Main street last Friday just before 8
o'clock when the stock of fireworks
displayed in the window of the Paris
Candy Kitchen took fire and filed the
street in that immediate vicinity with
enough excitement and noise to salts
fly a small boy.
MIR. Kassis, the proprietor, had not
yet opened his place of business and
it is practically certain that the fire
started by the sun focusing through
the glass. The glass was blown out
of the window and the rockets and
candles bombarded the street in a
way that kept pedestrians moving
without any urging from the police.
Driver Bromberg and the fire team
were occupied with the sprinkling
cart and were just passing the Great
Northern hotel. Mr.. Bromberg claims
that when the cry Of fire was set up
Barney the gray horse, turned his
head to see where the blaze was and
then, without any urging from the
driver the team yanked the water
wagon around to the fire station. The
hitch to the hose and chemical wagon
and the run to the fire was made in
four minutes.

THREE ALLEGED
BO0TLEGGERS

Dickinson Press: Three arrests
were made Thursday at Taylor for VII
olatio1 Of the prohibition law. 1t be-
came very evident in the afternoon
that two parties-apparently "hoat-
ers"-were dispensing beer and other
liquids from the stock yards just west
Of the village. When Deputy w. G..
Hecht and Marshal Bert Moore made
the arrest they found the third party,
who was said to be none other than
Co. Quite a quantity of beer and
stuff was seized and the aforesaid
agent was found with the goods on
and hence his arrest with his "strik-
ers." The parties were taken to Dick
inson on No. z by Deputy Hecht and
lodged in jail. 1t was expected that
they would get a hearing beofre JUS
tice Folsom on Friday.
The impression seems to be that
these fellows have been pulling of
this stunt at various places in the
state, namely, shipping in beer at
various points and Danes or whatever
his same is, seeing that the strikers
turned in the money as they collected
from purchasers. In Taylor opera
tons were carried on from the N. p.
stock yards; in other places their
liquid supplies are said to have been
dispensed from barns, sheds and other
places on the prairie. The parties
would move every day or two, usually
before people became aware Of what
was going on.
Judge Crawford ordered the arrests
at Taylor.
