If you have been accustomed to the
old-fashioned warm water" supply,
which had to suffice for our grand
fathers in the days when bath tubs
were luxury and automatic gas water
heaters unknown, you can hardly
realize what comfort and convenience
you are missing through not having the
modern system,the "Pittsburg" Heater.
The 'Pittsburg" wayis the cheapest
and best method for heating water.
The 'sPittsburg" will give you hot
bath for less than two cents; it will
operate entirely independent of, or in
conjunction with other systems; is
adapted for any house, large or small,
and in every case will give results that
cannot possibly be procured in any
other manner.
The Washington herald., 1912-02-29

As an aid to good health, beauty and
home comfort, the use of Hot Water
is modern necessity.
There is nothing so invigorating as
the hot bath; nothing so delightful for
every member of the household as an
unlimited, never-ending supply of clean
hot water.
Not the Kitchen boiler" kind, that
is only 'lukewarm" most of the time,
and always limited to one or two baths,
but unlimited hot water at every fau-
Get, day or night, on just the same.
basis as the "cold."
In case of sickness, plenty of ever
ready hot water is invaluable. For the
hot water bag in the middle of the.
night, for that fve-minute shave in the
morning, for kitchen or laundry, moth
ing can equal hot water "st the turn
of the faucet"

the cost of such roads and
bridges, and contend that the
cost of record books purchased
by the old county for use in it's
various county Offices should not
be charged to it. They also con-
tend thatin such accounting and
settlement Ward county should
not be charged for any public
property owned by it except on
the basis of it's actual value.
Held, constituting said section,
that neither of such contentious
are correct and that the trial
court properly held that the
roads and bridges do not consti-
tute public property owned by
the county within the meaning
Of said statute; that the cost and
not the actual value of the public
property remaining in Ward
county must be accounted for
without taking into consideration
any depreciation or appreciation
in the value Of such property and
that the record books remaining
in the various county offices Of
Ward county are public property
owned by it and the cost was,
therefore, properly debited to
Ward county.

IS KILLED BY KICK
OF VICIOUS HORSE
Brother of J. A. Ormiston
Meets Death at His Farm
Near Nekoma, N. D.

J. A. Ormiston left on Tuesday
of last week for Nekoma, N. D.,
in response to. a telegram an
tnouncing that his brother, Stew
art, had been killed by a kick
from a horse. His sister and
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. A. G.
Bruce, of Glasgow, Mont, also
were notified and were also pres
5ent at the funeral. The trio re-
turned to Bowbells on Wednes-
day morning this week and the
Bruces will visit here for a
few days with the Ormiston fam
lily. The following account of
the accident is given in the Park
River Gazette-News:
Stewart D. Ormiston. a we'll
known farmer near Nekoma,
and a former resident in this
vicinity, died Sunday atLangdon
from injuries he received last
Friday by being kicked by a vi
cious horse. He had been taken
to Langdon for medical attention,
and was under chloroform when
death occurred.
The accident happened on his
farm and as he was living alone
there was no one who could give
an account of it except the de-
ceased when he had first regained
consciousness, but even then had
not a very clear recollection Of
how it occurred. He had evident
ly prepared for a drive and when
he went to harness the team was
kicked by one of the animals.
The blow hit him in the face and
broke the jaw bone. He had
probably been unconscious for a
considerable time as it was five
o'clock in the afternoon before
he was able to summon help.
He telephoned to his brother,
Geo. Ormiston, who hurried over
as soon as he learned the nature
of his injuries. DR.. Hobson of Me-
koma was called for medical at
tention. The patient was then
removed to Langdon, where
death ensued Sunday morning.

nesday evening about 9 o'clock
some fellow apparently waiting
for them, stepped out from the
entry Of the operahouse and af-
ter following them for about a

violently by the throat and after
choking her pretty severely
threw her violently to the ground
striking her head on the ice and
dazing her for a minute. In the
meantime, Mrs. Everson ran
screaming back toward the
Merchants hotel and the ruffian
getting scared ran toward the
elevators. He had on a heavy
sheep-lined coat which conceal

though they think they got a
sufficient view of him in the
dusk to identify the man should
they see him again. The sheriff
is at work an the matter; but SO
far there are no developm ents.
Whether intended merely to

DECIDES BASIS
OF SETTLEMENT
Supreme Court Holds That
Roads and Bridges Are
State Property I'D.

ed by the supreme court of
North Dakota in the case involv-
ing the settlement between
Ward and Mountrail counties,
which decision means that the
roads and bridges in the old
original Ward county are state
property and cannot be taken in
/, to consideration in the settle
ment between counties after
division. -m., -.
Mountrail county was divided
of from Ward in the fall of 1908
and was a short time later or
ganized. At the time of SETTLE
ment the Mountrail commission
ers held that the roads and
bridges in the original county
must be figured in, while Ward
held that they should not.
Mountrail county figured that it
had something like $50, 900 COM
ing, and rather than go into the
courts Ward made it an offer of
$4,000. Mountrail refused this
offer and sued Ward for the a.
mount asked for. In district
court Ward county was given a
judgment of $4,000 against
Mountrail, the judge holding
that the roads and bridges had
nothing to do with the settle
ment. Mountrail appealed to
the supreme court and there lost
also.
Burke and Renville counties
could not settle with Ward until
the supreme court, had made it's
decision and their: settlement
hinged on the same proposition.
The commissioners of Mountrail
county met on Tuesday of this
week with the commissioners of
Ward county and it is expected
that a settlement will be perfect
ed before the session is adjourn
ed. The meeting Of the Burke,
Renville and Ward commission
ers takes place on May 18th and
a final settlement is expected
then. b..

DIES FROM OVER.
DOSE Of COCAINE
Charles Jordan Succumbs to
Drug in Bowbells Early
Monday Morning

old and unmarried, who had for
the past ten years or more made
his home in the vicinity of this
city, died Monday morning at
the T. Stromset residence here.
His death was the result of an
overdose of cocaine. The de-
ceased had been rooming at the
Stromset residence and at 2:15
O'Clock Monday morning Mr..
Stromset was awakened by the
sound of loud breathing in the
room of the unfortunate man.
On entering the room he found
Jordan asleep breathing very ir-
regular and hard. Being unable
to awake the deceased Stromset
Immediately summoned DR.. Linn
berg, who was unable to restore
him to consciousness. Death oc-
Cured at 6:30o'clock in the morn
ing
The deceased came to Bowbells
some over ten years ago and filed
on claim south of Coteau which
place he still owned at the time
Of his death. For some time he
resided on his homestead and
farmed it, but during the past
five years has been working out.
He conducted a pool hall at Co.
teau for two years. For two
weeks before his death he was
employed as cook at the Opera
Pool Parlors. He was a quiet
easygoing young man, very pop
ular among all who knew him,
and very few, if, any, suspected
that he had the drug habit. His
death came as a great surprise
to the entire community.
Coroner A. J. Paulson of Flax
ton was notified by phone and'he
came down on No. 1O6 and held
an inquest over the body of the
deceased. He impanelled a jury
consisting of H. H. Coleman,
Ara Carter and J. w. Moore who
after examining a number of
witnesses decided that death was
due to an overdose of cocaine.
That the deceased believed
something like this was likely to
happen at any time was evidenced
by a letter found in his pocket
stating that in case of death his
brother at a place in Iowa was to
be notified. A wire was sent to
the brother a few hours after
his death. Whether the over
dose of the drug was intentional
or not cannot be ascertained, but
those who were intimate with
the deceased will not believe that
he intended to destroy himself.
Inquiries at the local drug
stores showed that Jordan had
several times asked for cocaine
but was in every instance refused
it. A small package containing
some Of this drug was found in
his pockets.
The deceased's brother arrived
in Bowbells from his home in
Iowa Tuesday afternoon and
made arrangements for the fun
eral, which took place from the
St. Joseph's church in this city
yesterday morning at ten o'clock,
and interment was made in the
Catholic cemetery east Of town.
