Land ALLEGED
ELOPER AT LAST
MaHENRY COUNTY OFFICIALS
WAITED LONG BUT FINALLY
SECURED MAN.

Towner, N. D., Jan. s.-Harry Wat
0 was arrested at Minot by Deputy
sheriff Morrison and was brought to
Towner where he is now confined in
the county Jail. The charge against
Watson is adultery and wife desertion,
which charge was brought by his wife,
Mrs. Leota Watson.
Watson disappeared from Granville
during the early part Of October, sell
ing all Of his property and leaving his
wife without means of support. 1t is
alleged he was accompanied by his
wife's sister, and the pair were traced
from Minneapolis to- Winnipeg and
through Calgary from which point
Miss Heath returned home. Watson
was later located at Coronation, Can,
n through the officials there Sheriff
Sampson was kept informed as to his
whereabouts. 1t was impossible to
extradite him under the above charge,
and he would have to be caught in the
states.
Carly last week Sheriff Sampson re-
ceived word that Watson had left Cor
onation and was on his way to Brit
ish Columbia, but was going by way
of Spokane. Consequently he was ar
rested at Minot.
The preliminary hearing will be held
jan, 8. C.. w. Hookway and Christian
sen & Weber have been employed to
defend Watson.

FREE SHIPMENTS
HAVE CEASED

Hettinger, N. D., Jan. 3.-County
Auditor Kelley has received notice that
the Milwaukee Railway Co., will posi-
lively not make any more free
shipments of hay or feed. This means
that many who have ordered hay
will not be able to get it, at
least not with out paying the freight,
and even if one is in position to do
this it is a difficult matter to get Or
ders for hay filled. Mr.. Kelley, who
has charge Of the feed and hay BUSH
ness at this point, a certainly had
a difficult time of it between the com
pany and the settlers. The company
kept tightening up on the proposition
with new rules; hay could scarcely be
bought at all at a reasonable price; and
every man who ordered hay wanted
1t and wanted it first. as is human ma
ture. Thus with these conditions con-
fronting him, Kelley has had no rest
for the past three months. Both day
and night during this time he has been
called upon to look after the propo-
sition and although he did the best
he could do, many people who were
unable to get their hay or feed, will
be dissatisfied. 1t has been a thank
less task and q difficult one. Not
only this but it has kept the auditor
from doing his usual office work,
practically all fall. Undoubtedly If
the commissioners had known the
amount Of work that would be in

APLEY CASE TO
Be APPEALED

Jamestown, N. D., Jan. 3.-An ap-
peal will be taken in the Apley case
by Judge Lauder of Wahpeton and
proceedings for perfecting the appeal
have been started. Judge Coffey de-
MED a motion for an order of probable
cause on appeal, but granted an order
for Logan county to furnish a tran
script of the testimony which will be
filed with the clerk of the court for
use by both plaintiff and defendant.
The jury in the case of the state
VS.. Bud Floyd, a case transferred
from Foster county, for trial in this
county, brought In a verdict of guilty,
on the charge of robbery, Of a man
named Harrison. The penalty for the
crime of robbery in the first degree is
one year in the penitentiary and from
that time to a life sentence, in the
discretion Of the court.
AS the trial of the case was nearing
it's end it was discovered that the in
formation was faulty in that it had not
specifically charged the defendant with
committing the crime for which he
was convicted, while the information
stated, in substance, that the crime
was that of larceny for which different
penalties are attached.
Floyd resides on a homestead in
Stutsman county, is married, has a
family and Is charged with holding up
a man named Harrison at Darlington,
and taking from him about 500 in
money. 1t is possible that the whole
trial may be set aside on the ground
Of defective information or that an
appeal may be taken to the supreme
court.
The trial of Larsen and Walker
against Hanson and F-rederickson was
continued before Judge Burr. This is
the third trial Of the case.
Judge Coffey spent New Years with
his family at Courtenay and returned
to the city yesterday to resume hold
ing a term Of court. Several matters
will come before him during the pres
ent week.

AT EDINBURG

Edlnburg, n. d, Jan. 3.-Edinburg
has taken another submissive tum-
BILE into the open arms OF crooks and
thieves, and with every outward
manifestation Of having extended an
invitation to call and do us again"
The section house was broken into

bushes places down town. They
cut a pane of glass out of a e
window of Josephsone's pool room,

Big SENSATION
IS ANTICIPATED

Mandan, N. D., Jan. 3.-The con-
tinual thieving Of the railroad COM
pany's property by people in the vici-
nifty Of Henzler and Fort Clark is
about to develop into a tremendous
sensation and engulf several prominent
people Of that section, it is said.
Special agents of the railway COM
pany have been brought into the
field and have secured the names of
over 100 people who have participated
in the thefts. One case in particular
which was said to be uncovered, dis
closed the fact that a man had stolen
new ties from the railroad company
to floor his barn. The agents found
him, and when confronted with the
evidence he paid for the stolen prop
erty at cost prices.
AS all the people in that section use
Ignite coal, when some 1000 tons of
the company's Red Lodge coal was
taken, 1t made the matter a little diff
ficulty until the agents o fthe conn
pany tried out the smoke test. Burn
ing samples Of the Red Lodge coal
along side of samples of the ignite
and noting the difference in the color
and volume of the smoke led to the
detection of several people who had
helped themselves to fuel rather than
go to the nearby mines and dig 1t out.
The pile drivers and shovels have
been denuded of every moving part
and the lumber for snow fences and
sections of snow fence have been pill
fered. Tools, ropes, cables and even
nuts from parts Of the machinery
have been appropriated and carried
away, the agents state.
When the work of securing the rest
Of the evidence is in there viii be,

much sorrow among the people
brought into the scandal and courts
because Of their delinquencies in the
matter of helping themselves to other
peoples property.
The situation had become so grave
that the local detectives for the com
pany had been all spotted by the mis-
creants and whenever one appeared
on the ground everything was quiet.
Also there was some sort OF system
of wireless ~telegraphy which advised
the other people hat a spotter was
on the ground and nothing would hap
pen while the detective was in the
country. New men were imported from
St. Paul to look after the matter and
now that the goods are located there
is a chance for some of the people to
come through or get the limit of the
law in the cases.
Developments are now awaited
among tha officials of the road which
will startle the whole country north
and west of here, and which promise
to put an enc to the petty thefts.

MOBILE RUN FROM WIN
NlPEG TO GULF.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 3.-State En-
gineer Atkinson has blue prints show
ing the meridian highway which
has a course from Winnipeg straight
south to Galveston. This road has a
direct route through the United States,
going through the North Dakota side
of the Red river valley and If the
highway is preserved and made per-
manent it VIII make a great inter
national automobile run. Some great
Roadway has been made in the past
six months and over 100000 has been
spent towards this undertaking.
Though at present there is no money
in sight for the work in North Dakota
it is believed hat the next five years
will see the entire work accomplished.
Mr.. Atkinson's suggestion at the meet
ing last week at Grand Forks to use
the money received from the state au-
tomobile licenses towards this states
share of the work seemed to meet
with hearty approval.

so rapidly that we became alarmed and de-
cided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
mot until I commenced using Cuticura
Soap and Ointment could we tell what he
looked like, as we dared not wash him, and
I had been putting one application after
another on him. On removing the scale from
his head the hair came OF, and left him
entirely bald. but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has as much

we could hardly look at him, he was such

COMMERCIAL CLUB
Will SELL FARMS
THE WILLlSToN ORGANIZATION
SEEKS SMALLER TRACTS
UNDER IRRIGATION
PROJECT.

Williston, N. d. Jan. 3.-Smaller
farms under the federal irrigation
projects in this section is the slogan OF
the Williston Commercial club which
is about in a unique manner, to ac-
complish that object. A club commit
tee that is charged with obtaining OPP
tons on small tracts Of lands, from
the farmers under the projects, has
been appointed, and this committee is
already at work with Paul Leonhardy
in charge as chairman.
THE object of this movement" SAYS
Chairman Leonhardy in a statement
issued to the land owners interested,
rs to assist the farmers under the
project in the sale of their lands, es-
pecially in small tracts, with the idea
Of securing more settlers as it would
seem from the statements of the
farmers that their larger holdings can
not be as profitably farmed as smaller
tracts. Another OF the principal ideas
in making this effort is that if the land
can be cut up into smaller tracts, il
will be much easier to secure acreage
for beet culture in the event of getting
a beet sugar factory established in
Williston.
THE options which we ask the
farmers to give are so drawn that
while they hold the farmer to sell his
land at any time during the life of the
option, provided he still owns the land,
yet it leaves the farmer free to sell to
any one else at n time he may
choose to do so. Nothing is binding
upon him to hold his land to be sold
by the commercial club, the whole
idea being to promote sales and not in
any way prevent them.
ANY transfer made by the COM
mercial club will be without any COM
mission or recompense of any kind to
be paid to it for securing the sales,
the buyer only paying the sum asked
by the farmer
The smaller farm movement is one
that has beer launched in other sec
lions of the country where federal ir-
rigation projects are maintained as
the operation Of large farms, under
those projects, has been shown to be
less profitable than the small farm OPP
Grated under the intensified farming
plan.
Farmers of Williams county look
upon the movement favorably.
