Hal.s Plans FOR Own Funeral.

Larimore.-Adolph Weise, of en-.
cago, broke up plans for his own fu.
neral, made by relatives in Chicago,
who had been notified of his supposed
death here. The finding of card on
the body Of man killed by Great
Northern train here, bearing Weise's
name, led to the mistaken identified
ton OF the corpse. Local officials
were set right by Weise when he read
newspaper accounts of the affair. He
came to Larimore to intercept the
shipment Of the corpse to Chicago.

sent TWO CARS OF
I.W.W.'S TO W|LL|ST0N
TRAIN MET AT STOCkYARDS
AND MEN COMPELLED TO RE-
MAIN ON BOARD-OFFICERS
ACCOMPANY TRAIN WEST.

Two cars of l. w. WIS, numbering
sixty, were met at the G. N. stock
yards by hundred citizens and offic-
ers armed with clubs. These men
came mostly from Minneapolis, upon
the request of Jack Law, the leader
in Minot, who wired the general asso-
citation for men and money. The cars
were set out at Rugby Thursday and
attached to a freight train.
AS soon as the train stopped at the
yards, the men began jumping off, but
the officers kept all but eight on, and
these were chased down the track,
captured, and made to get on board
again. One of them grew ugly and
it became necessary to use the club on
him.
The officers rode on the train into
Minot, keeping the men in their seats
and a number of officers accompanied
the train west towards Williston,
where the men had been sent on rail-
way construction work. Most of
them, however, intended getting off
at Minot to assist in the trouble.
There were three "men catchers"
on the train, men who round up la
borers, and it is believed that they
are the prime movers in the plans Of
the l. w. w.
Most of the men are foreigners.
Several continued to ask others how
they liked living in Russia. Others
stated that such treatment leads to
anarchy and one tried to buy an l.
w. w. song book.
They claimed that thousands were
on their way to Minot, some Of them
being very ugly fellows right from
the Duluth strike.

Geo. Manlin Champion Liar.

Geo. Manlin, who claims to be nei-
Their Socialist nor an l. w. w., just
a travelling man, wrote letter which
was published in the Fargo Courier
News and one or two other state pa
pers. The letter is so unfair to Minot
and full Of lies that it is hardly wor-
thy of notice. This is the sample of
one of his statements:
"Minot is Simply one great house of
prostitution and gambling combined
and this includes at least two-thirds
of the businessmen of the city. It is
a common thing to see the best hotel
clerks ask travellers if they want COM
pany in their rooms, and refuse rooms
to those who do not, and provide
rooms to those who do at SIS per
Liquor is sold wide open and no at
tempt is even made to pretend other
wise"
No one seems to know who Geo
Manlin is.

Nick Ehr, of Jessup, a., we'll known
in Minot, had close call from death
last week. He was assisting his son
make hay and feeling fatigued, took
hold of the wrong stuff, for he took a
long pull at bottle of wood alcohol.
For time he thot his time had come.
He telephoned doctor who told him
to take a milk emetic and this saved
his life.

BITS OF PIONEER HISTORY
INTERESTING COLUMN PER-
TANNING TO THE EARLY DAYS
IN WARD COUNTY COMPILED
BY JEAN McNAUGHTON STEW
EMS.

The Independent herewith sets up
column Of happy memories for Mi
not folk, CLEANED from the advertising
Minot did in the county papers Of Nc
Henry, so that the early settlers
might come to Minot for supplies.
There were various trails over the
Mouse River Loop those early days.
This particular trail is now the Sur
rey cutoff.
The very first item records the erec-
ton of the mammoth machine shops
and Minot's joy over it. Well might
the Minoters rejoice, for in the early
COS, when there were several crop
failures, and gardens were a minus
quantity, when the editor Of this col
umn walked over the Mouse River,
dry shod, in several places above Bur
lington, tho cash payments made ny
the road to the men on it's payroll
were all that stood between the mer-
chants of Minot and the winds of ad-
versity.
The Minot column in the Willard
Leader, which I am scanning this
sunny morning in 1918 says, "Minot
streets are getting so now that one
can walk down to the depot without
being in danger of getting run over
with teams ,as most of the men and
teams have gone to the 'front.'" The
front was the westward extension of
the Manitoba r. R., then being hur-
ried on to Great Falls.
Somebody in Stanley will read with
interest that ED Skies is closing up
his store in Minot, and he will de-
vote his time to farming, as he is
tired of the busy whirl Of Minot." But
he must have changed his mind, for
in 81 he and w. j. Carroll were run
ming meat market on Main street
]. F. Smith was laid up with rheu-
matism, and teamsters were advised
to defer breaking their axles until
he was on his feet again.
McKay's store, at the corner, adver-
tised freely. The Brothers Mckay
were long a factor in Minot. They
were carrying large contracts stif12
when the 500 was built thru Ward
county in 1898. Where are they now ?
John Pifer and George Tuman came
in from Pendroy to get supplies. The
latter, George Tuman, died suddenly
this summer of 1918, near Williston
while on his way westward with his
family, travelling by wagon and camp
ing out.
Pace and Pendroy were running q
f1ourishing meat market on Main St
Pace, Comrade Marion Pace, lies in
an honored grave in the Velva ceme-
terry, and Pendroy is busy Real Es-
tate man in Conrad, Montana. Even
the Pendroy ranches, which supplied
them with beef, of the best Hereford
quality, are now farms raising fine
hogs and corn, and there is only an
empty dog house near the town of
Falsen left to tell the tale. Down on
the famous Mouse River Meadows,
however, James Mart Pendroy still
cuts much hay and fattens some fine
cattle.

which add to the water in which the
tips and also the water In which the
stumps were boiled and add two
slices Of onion or come onion Juice
and -four, butter, seasoning and ream
to make a soup of the desired consis-
tency, az you would make any other
kind of soup. This saves the whole
of the value Of the stumps as well as
the water In which the tips were
boiled, and you have the tips for the
other uses, while not wasting them
in garnishing the soup or needing to
buy the whole punches for the soup
alone or for the toast alone. The
habits of making our cooking take

Daddy Bedtime
q. How May Saved
.OTOTV- Her Dolly
From the Fire
D~%~ A1T

- vELYNs beautiful lew doll Sophia was very dear to her sometime
Jack had a great deal of fun teasing her about It, tut eyen he "a to
admit that the doll was a veyb beautiful one.
Love Sophia as much as you like" daddy smd, but l mop you
will nevert try to do so much for hers as little May did for her dolly.
MAY was a very small girl, and she had a very pretty dolly, which she car
ried about wherever she went. She called her dolly Carotta.
"One day Carottas six yearold mother went out for a walk near her home.
As usual the dolly IA clasped in her arms.
"n a vacant lot near Mays hon som boys were having a jolly time.
They were playing Indians and had built a fire in the lot Around this they
danced and whooped, having what they called a war dance.
MAY stopped to watch them. At first the boys did not notice the little girl.
but presently n Of the little fellows turned and aw her standing there with
the doll in her arms.
They yer not bad boys, Just lively youngsters who did lot stop to think.
They thought it fun to tease Others.
"The little chap who had first noticed May turned and whispered some-
thing to the other boys. Then he darted toward her. snatched the doll from
her arms and threw it into the blazing fire.
MAY shrieked when she saw her dolly go into the flames. The little boys
fell back. They were ashamed when they saw how distressed the little girl
was. Before they could stop her she WI reaching into the fire to save her
dolly.
In a minute her clothes caught fire.. Some men who were passing luckily
heard her cries, for the naughty boys ran away as fast as they could when they
say the trouble they had made.
Zone OF the mn dragged May out of the fire. Her face ws burned ana
her clothing "a blazing, nut she held the burned body of Carlotta fondly in
her arms. A big policeman rode up and vey tendery the men lifted the little
girl into the hospital ambulance, which some n had huriedy called.
Little May was taken to the hospital still holding O to Carlotta, There
Mays burns were dressed and her face wrapped in many bandages, and she
was happy because the hospital people said they would cure Canotta too
They were all very sorryf for the little girl
The kind nurses took tn backened and battered doll way from Nav. AZ
that a new doll just exactly Hike her could be bought for the brave little mother.
They think little May won't know the difference. Let us hope she won't.
And let Is aho hope that those foolish naughty little boys have learued not
lease little girls any more"

Cutaway coats Of velvet are alto
gether charming. They reach to the
ankles behind, are worn over a draped
satin skirt, tight at the ankles, bord.
cred and trimmed with fur. Coats will
certainly be worn longer as we ap-
proach the ley year. The shorter
coats come to the knees. Supple ma
terials accompany velvet, but the
coats are Of rough materials. Velour
de laine heads the fashion. Every one
should possess a fur coat. which can
be slipped off on entering tho house
of entertainment. Wool embroidery
figures on dresses and coats alike as
a heading to fur. At tho back coats

Graceful Costa,

One Of the most graceful forms Ia
ken by the fur coat of the moment Ia
that In which the garment Is made
seven or eight inches too long. The
extra length Is then caught up In q
series Of festoons down each side
seam. This Ia distinctly due to the
pannier Idea. 1t has the advantage
Of not making the figure too much like
the fashionable pegtop.
A typical coat Of the moment In tail
less ermine has a Vatican plait oil
the fur at the back held down In
plaits between the shoulders. The
~fulness Is again caught In at the Level
Of the knees by q broad band of lace
fringed with ermins tails. which draws
the Vatican plat out to its fullest and
holds 1t tightly In to the figure.

Everything In the millinery line Is low,
soft and graceful. Fiat, moderately
large hats Of an exceeding softness Of
outline are In vogue-the very large
hat Is not favored by the woman who
avoids bizarre styles in dress, and the
Tiny audac1ous hat has likewise been
vetoed. In fact, the size Of a hat
large or small-is no longer the fea-
lure that presents itself obtrusively to
the attention, for hat sizes are mod
erate and shapes conform p~leasingly
10 the head and to the line of the
shoulders, this last being q point
which the skillful milliner never over
looks. Grace, not size, is o the I'M
portant consideration. and next comes
harmony of color.
