MAY LEARN OF
BROTHERS Death
BROTHER OF MAN NOW IN SCOT.
LAND May HAVE BEEN
LYNCHED AT OLGA.

Bismarck. N. D., Sept. 10.-George
NJ. Brown of Glasgow, Scotland, may
learn the details of the death of a
long lost brother, who it is thought
was lynched in North Dakota.
After reading the. story published in
North Dakota papers a few days ago,
n A. H. Gromlie of Cavalier, N. D.,
mentioned the strange surroundings of
the case to his parents. After dis
cussing the article for sometime it
seems that a man was lynched in Olga,
N. D., some years ago. They do not
recall the name of the man that was
lynched, but have advised Chief Nc
Donald to have Mr.. Brown to write to
the postmaster or some pioneer citi-
zen of Olga to learn the details of
the lynching. rs
Mr.. Brown in his letter to Chief
Mcdonald some days ago stated that
his brother left home about thirty
five years ago and had only returned
once n that was many years ago.
He further stated hat he had heard
that he was 1ynched some place in
North Dakota after serving a peni-
tertiary sentence and requested the
chief to help him locate or endeavor
to find out the facts about the lynch
ing. The letter informing the chief
that a lynching had taken place neal
Olga, many years ago was received late
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Brown will
be notified and be may learn the facts
of his brothers. death.

SECOND TOUR
OF BISMARCkERS

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 10.-Between
twelve and fifteen automobiles will
leave Bismarck Wednesday morning
on the SECOND our of the Bismarck
boosters party. The trip is the second
of a series of journeys conducted for
the purpose of getting acquainted with
the business men of the towns visited
and also to boost the industrial exposi-
ton that will be. held at Bismarck
Oct. l. to 13. The second tour is the
shorter of the series, and will com
prise but one days journey, Hazelton,
Linton and Temvik being the objective
points. .. .... .'"..
Wherever the boosters party has
gone 1t has found interest in the in
dustrial exposition at highest pitch.
Everywhere people are making their
arrangements to visit t4le big land
show, and mingle with the hundreds
of fasteners who will also visit the
displays of agricultural products. The
intense rivalry between various
ties of the state which are competing
for the first prize of $500, is manifest
on every hand, and the competition in
the sweepstakes class viii be keen.
After this second tour, the Bis
markers, are planning a three days
journey north and west, proceeding to
Minot the first day, returning south to
Plaza, Ryder and Douglas and crossing
the Missouri river at Coal Harbor, then
returning to Bismarck after traversing
the counties on the west side of the
river.

ADAMS COUNTY
A DAIRY CENTER
CREAMERY AT HETTlNGER MADE
A REMARKABLE SHOWING
DURING PAST YEAR.

Hettinger, N. D., Sept. 10.-In the
development of southwestern North
Dakota the problem has ever been to.
set the homesteaders who replaced the
ranchers to put dairy cows on their
place thus making use of the natural
advantages that this country afforded
the ranchman. To get the new set
tiers to understand that the same nu-
tritious grasses that produced beef
too rapidly and so cheaply would also
produce butter just as rapidly and
cheaply, Adams county, North Dakota,
has practically solved that problem.
Although this county has been occupied
by homesteaders only about five years
1t has already grown to be considerable
of a dairy country. The Hettinger
creamery, established about three
years ago, is now doing an enormous
business and dairy cows are being
shipped in from Wisconsin and sold at
prices ranging from $50 to $50 a head.
Large fields of corn and forage crops
have been grown this year and native
hay is plentiful. This naturally lends
stimulus to the already keen interest
of the farmers of this county in the
GARY industry.
One of the most unusual circum-
stances in this connection is the fact
that a number of the old ranchmen
who decided to remain in the country
regardless of the influx of settlers,
were mons the first to see that the
"ranchman's paradise" could easily
be made a "dairyman's paradise" AS a
result of theic -kee~ foresight some Of
these ranchmen are today drawing the
largest cream checks at the Hettingec
creamery.
Tom Stevens, living about ten miles
northwest of this city. is one of the
old ranchmen who is making good
as a dairyman. Mr.. Stevens was in
the city today exhibiting an old tin
tobacco box which contained his
cream checks for a little over a year.
He was prevailed upon to have them
totaled on an adding machine and this
revealed the fact that in that period
he had sold to the Heetinger creamery
3,066 pounds of butter fat for which
he received $S40.24 in cash. For d
former ranchman to make this show
ing in what is now popularity supposed
to be a land of wheat, is to say the
least remarkable.
