CHIEF OF POLICE GETS TWO
SUIT CASES OF BOOZE LEFT BY
MAN HE WAS FOLLOWING.

The chief of police has on hand two
suit cases, in which are stored fifty
two pints of the "Oh-be-joyful," bet
ter known as whisky.
Saturday night the chief observed
a suspicious looking man carrying two
heavy suit cases up one Of the streets.
The stranger saw thre chief watch
ing him and went into an alley. The
chief followed the man this action of
going into the alley made the officers
suspicion stronger. He searched the al
ley with his light but failed to locate
the stranger. Entering small out
building he found the two cases but
no owner in sight. The chief took
the cargo in tow and now has it safe
ly locked up while bootlegger is being
looked for.

ten 500 surveyors following the party
of surveyors there some weeks ago,
ere running a second survey out OF
Nakoti, headed for the Missourlrlver'
We understand they are running par
allel Just north of the Great Northern
survey. This work out Of Makotl u
pretty good evidence the start out 1or
the west will be from Makoti instead
of Plaza as given out, for if everything
was arranged to start out OF Plaza
the work would be confined to that
town. The probabilities are the sur
veys made out of Plaza presented en-
eineering difficulties and an expense
to build that led the railway company
to back up to Makoti, just as the Grea1
Northern engineers have told here the
500 would do after looking into the
feasibility Of going on to the raver
from Plaza. Starting from Makotl
will make it imperative to go on from
Plaza somewhere, with probabilities
it will be north to Stanley or nortn-
west to Williston.

Last week the police took man in
charge who had a bad case of aggra-
vated jag. He was put in the city
Jail. Later his pal apeared and ask
ed if he might have lodging as he was
down and out. He was Accommodated.
The next day the men were informed
that they might get off little easier
if they would tell where they got their
supply Of liquor. One stated that he
bought it from a tall man and told
how the dispenser was dressed. The
two men were brought down town by
the officer and one of them identified
the tall man who sold him the sleep

WILL OPEN ID.
DECEMBER l
STATE INSTITUTION FOR TUBER
CULAR PATIENTS TO OPEN
DIR. WIDMEYER SUPT.

The North Dakota tuberculosis San
itarium will open officially fer the re-
,ception Of patients on December 1st
of the present year. 1t is not expect
ed that there will be accommodation for
all applicants but those in charge will
do everything possible to take care of
those committed to their care.
DR.. J. P. Widmeyer has been ap-
pointed Superintendent and will pass
on all applications. The charges have
been placed at one dollar and fifty
cents per day. This is provisional as
the law provides that patients shall
pay the cost of their maintenance.
After the Sanitarium has been run
ming for some time exact data on this
point will be available.
The County Superintendents of
Health of the several counties, to-
gether with the Medical members of
the Board of Trustees, have been ap-
pointed examiners. Applicants for
admission should apply to either Of
these, receive an examination and have
all blanks sent to the Superintendent
at Dunseith, N. Oak. Upon approval
they will be duly notified as to when
they can be admitted. Application
blanks contain explicit directions for
the guidance of patients.
On account of the limited appro-
priation the Board has had to econo-
mize in every detail, but they were
all actuated by the wish to make the
best use possible of available funds.
The result in the finished product,
believe, will appeal to every unpre-
JUDGED person in this light. With the
small amount that was given
for equipment much is is left
for the future to remedy
Friends of the work everywhere
will be pleased to know that right
start has been made. 1t is the peo-
ple's institution. 1t is theirs to use
and we have every confidence that its
future will be amply provided for.

TO PROVE
INNOCENCE
MAN SENTENCED TO SERVE FlF.
TEEN YEARS IN THIS STATE
NOW SAYS INNOCENT

Was George Young, the man who
confessed that he was one of the ban
dts, who participated in the sensa-
tional holdup of the North Coast linn
tied near Buffalo July 10, 1911, and
who was sentenced to serve fifteen
wears in the state penintentiary by
Judge Pollock, really one of the rob-
bers?
This is the question over which,
what promises to be a highly sensa-.
tional trial, vas started in St. Paul
last week. The railway company
claims that he was not one Of the
real robbers, that the arrest was the
result of frame-up and on those
grounds they hold the police officers
Of Neenah, Wis, are not entitled to a
reward of $4,000.
North Dakota people will remember
the sensational robbery in which a
Fargo engineer, S. P. Olson, was shot
and badly wounded. 1t was one of
the most sensational robberies ever
pulled off in the country and the rob-
bers made clean getaway.
Some months afterward Fargo Of
ficials were notified that one of the
bandits had confessed to the Neenah,
| Wis, police that he was one of the
bandits. Sheriff Boyle went down and
got the man. He pleaded guilty be-
fore Judge Pollock and was sent up
for fifteen years.
In many ways the case is one Of the
most unusual in the history Of Mime
sofa courts and aside from its interest
ing legal phases it involves the story
of one of the boldest train robberies
of recent years in the northwest. On
it's outcome may depend whether
George Young stays in the state
prison at Bismarck for fourteen more
years. Young himself now says that
he is innocent of the train robbery and
his testimony, given in a deposition
taken behind the prison walls will be

NO RIGHT TO
RAISE RATES
JUDGE BRADSHAW AT DeMOINES
RENDERS SWEEPING DECI-
SION AGAINST WOODMEN

The many members in this commun-
ity of the Modern Woodmen of Amer.
lea will all be interested in a recent
decision that was given in the state
of Iowa. In the district court at
DesMoines, Judge Bradshaw has filed
a decision in the Modern Woodmen
rate case tried before him two weeks
ago, in which he holds against the So
ciety on all points. The decision
sweepingly denies the right of the su-
preme governing body of the society
to enact legislation increasing the in
surance rates of the members. Judge
Bradshaw, holding that the rates fixed
to the benefit certificates issued to the
members constitute fixed contract
that cannot be modified by any legis-
lation thereafter enacted. Judge Brad
shaw holds that instead Of increasing
rates if the society requires larger
income to meet it's assumed insurance
obligations, it has it's remedy in the
levy Of an increased number of as
sessments. Whether the decision will
apply to the members of the society
in North Dakota and elsewhere, or on
ly to the individual plaintiffs in the
suit tried, will not be known until the
decree is entered. The society has al
ready given notice that it will appeal
the case and it will doubtless be fought
to the courts of last resort

ED BY GOVERNMENT

Last week the government started
a nationwide campaign against med

Many arrests have been made already,
Two men were arrested at Ken
mare last week charged with unlaw-
full practice. >s
The two men arrested are brothers,
L. J. Woods and G.. G. Woods, and
they have for some time, it is said,
been conducting an institute at Ken
mare at which they professed to cure
disease by means Of massage and 9TH
er non-medical mediums. .-..
They are charged with practicing
medicine without licenses and are held
to the coming session of the county
court under bonds of $500 each.
It is probable that state wide cam
paign will be conducted against prac-
titioners who are not properly licensed.
The work will be done in conjunction
with the United States authorities who
are making efforts all over the coun-
try to stamp out quacks, who use the
mails to advertise their fake cures.
In St. Paul recently five practition-
ers were arrested for illegal use Of
