COLD BATH IN RESERVOIR
NEAR TOWN.

Cashier G.. v. Alldrin of the Burke
County State Bank Of this city came
very near losing his life Sunday
afternoon while skating at the res
ervoir Just east Of town. He fell
through the ice into about six. feet
of water, and it was. with great diff
ficulty that he was rescued. Those
who were present at the time he
fell through tell us that the ice
along the edge of the reservoir was
strong enough to hold anything, but
that farther out in the center the
ice was very thin, and although q
few skaters risked going across the
pond they would only d do5s SO while
going at q very high speed. Mr..

Lignite coal from most any mine
in this section of the state can now
be bought at lower price in Bow
bells than ever before for many
years. The standing price of $3.50
per ton delivered was first cut by
II. E. Knowlton, who got out SOME
posters to the effect that he, would
deliver any amount from the Cros-
by mine at $3.15 per ton. Next
came Pat Walsh with posters cut
ting the price to $3.O5 per ton
and then j. r. Keepher offered it
at $500 per ton. In talking to
The Tribune Mr.. Keepher told us
that he was making good money at
$500 per ton and that he intended
to stick to this price all winter.
Since then the price has been cut
some more by several of the dealers
in Bowbells, and it will be hard to
tell what coal will be selling at be-
fore another week passes.

Many Delinquent Tax Sales in
North Dakota Will Be ILLEGAL

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 25.-The
North Dakota Tax commission has
called the attention of the county
officers and the public in general to
the change in the law governing
the publication of notices Of tax
sales. In many OF the counties Of
the state the notices which are
now running were published too late,
of the sale which occurs on Dec. 8.
This will undoubtedly invalidate
tax titles according to this law; and
in any event it will lead to much
litigation and the undoubted set
ting-aside of tax titles acquired un-
der the sale of Dec. 8.
Section 1874 Of the revised code
provides for three publications Of
the notices of sale, and that the first
publication shall not be less than
nineteen days before the date of
sale. This law was amended by
chapter 220 ofthe 1913 session laws
to read: "Said delinquent tax
sale notices shall be printed for
three successive weeks Immediately

HISTORIC BOAT MAKES
ANOTHER RIVER TRIP
'rzfOAT WHICH CARRIED NEWS
OF CUSTER MASSACRE
MAKES ANOTHER TRIP.

Grand Forks. Nov. 27.-Captain
Marsh of the steamer Far West"
master of the little boat that made
a 1000 mile run down the Little
Missouri to bring word of the Gus
ter Massacre in 1876, has just COM
pleted the same historic trip he
made so many years ago.
O. G. Libby of Grand Forks, who
is secretary of the North Dakota
Historical Association, states that
Captain Marsh, a Missouri river
boatman all his life, still retains a
vivid recollection of conditions sur
rounding the bringing of the news
of the massacre, and which was
preceded by several days of in
tense anxiety as his little vessel
was lying in the river, compara-
lively short distance from the scene
of one of Americas greatest trage-
dies.

says Captain Marsh, relating the

r-ot the bush, the palm of his right
hand held toward us indicating that
his mission was one of peace.
That he was suffering from some
great fear was very evident as soon
as he got onto our boat, but he
could not tell us what had happen
ed. Finally he was given a pen
Gil and piece of paper, and the
attempt at conveying his message
was begun.
"Absarka, all gone," were the
only words the Indian could give
us, but these were to us unintellig-
ible.
with his pencil and paper, how
ever, the Indian drew a circle and
placed within it large number of
dots, indicating them as "Absara-
ka." Then he drew. another cir
Gle on the outside, placing more
dots, and indicating them as Sioux.
Then summoning all his dramatic
power, the Indian indicated how the
Sioux had swept on the Abaraska
and had overwhelmed. /.
1T was not until them, said
Captain Marsh, '.that realized the,
significance of his message. !

'Absaraka" had been used by IN

Of SHOOT.
ING WITH EVIL INTENT
WOMAN TO BE PUNISHED
FOR SHOOTING AT ONE OF
HER PATRONS.

Minot, N. D.. Nov. 25.-When
Nellie Brown pulled a .38 calibre
revolver and emptted its contents
into the night in the general dir
ection taken by Charles Wunsch
through the moonlight at a high
rate of speed, she got in wrong.
Very wrong. In fact, Nellie is
now up against the majesty Of the
law good and hard. She may get
gift Of three years in the Bis
marck pen where she will be firm
ly encouraged to sew buttons on
overalls and such light lady-like
work.
The jury in the case seemed to
be considerably unanimous as to
the truth of the charge even though
Nellie's attorney, Dudley Nash.
passed a delightful afternoon, rag
ging the star witness for the prose-
cution. After Judge Leighton had
delivered the charge the jury filed
OUT but the attorneys had scarcely
gathered up their papers and pre-
pared to depart when the jury
solemnly filed in with thier verdict.
Guilty as charged" read the
clerk, and Nellie had a vision of
being on the inside looking out for
a while.
The case against this colored wo-
man was serious one and the
pl osecution was made with the in
tent to teach a class of undesirable
persons in this city that they can
not with impunity. break the laws
of the state and the ordinances of
the city.
The example is a strong one.
Minot has had some little trouble
with this element for some time
but this and other recent cases
should soon show this element that
it cannot continue in it's lawless-
ness:
The conviction was nearly a
foregone conclusion and neither
brilliant defending attorneys nor
attempted false alibis could alter
the decision. The average jury
insists on the letter Of the law and
can be depended upon to return a
just verdict. - -...-.-.
