MAHNKE BROTHERS
WERE TURNED LOOSE
SUSPECTED CIR AIN THIEVES
DISMISSED AFTER HEAR
ING AT MOHALL.

Moall, N. D., Dec. 31.-Robert
and William Mahnke, arrested last
week on suspicion of being connect
ed with the grain thefts which led
to the shooting of John Bird near
Norma, about a month ago, have
been released, the evidence being
$50 conflicting as to make it impos-
|sible to get conviction. e
The men were suspected for some
time as being the ones who had
taken the grain, and because wheat
stealing had continued in that To-
calfty after the shooting, the far
mers decided to put a stop to it by
hiring a detective to run down the
guilty parties, so a man from the
Burns agency was secured, and the
arrests were the result of his ef-
forts.
When the case came up for trial
it seems that the evidence as to the
number of bushels stolen and the
number sold by the defendants
were SO conflicting that the justice
dismissed the case.
Ed Mattern, farmer in the same
locality, who was arrested at the
same time on a charge of pigging,
was also acquitted at the trial.

J. W. Ingison, the coal miner and
scientific dairy farmer Of near Des
Lacs Lake, while in the city We'd
nesday showed The Tribune editor
a handful of green grass which he
said he had pulled out of the ground
in coulee near his place that morn
ing, and stated that there was a lot
more where that came from. He
says his cows are getting fat on it
and are giving an exceptionally
large amount of milk since they
commenced feeding on it. The
grass looks very much alive and
much resembles the prairie grass
which grows everywhere in this Sec
tion of the state during the sum-
mer.

HEAD. BLOWN OFF
WHEN TANK BURSTS
LIGHTING TANK EXPLODES WITH
FATAL RESULTS TO COGS-
WE'LL FARMER.

Cogswell, N. D., Dec. 30.-H. A.
Smith, a prominent farmer, living
in this village, was almost instant
ly killed by the explosion of tank
belonging to small house light
ing plant.
The lamps had become dirty and
did not work we'll. He attempted
to clean them by pressure and while
pumping up the tank with a large
automobile pump, the bottom of
the tank blew out and it shot up
into the air with terrific force strik-
ing Smith, who was leaning over
lit, working the pump, in the fore
head, taking the top of his head off
completely, and scattering his
brains in all directions.
Smith lived but a short time and
never regained consciousness.

Uncover Skeleton
of Mammoth AMI
NAL Near Stanley

Stanley, N. D., Dec. 81.
While digging a we'll ON
his farm twenty-six miles
south of this city, H. j.
Hoffman found some bones
and teeth of an extinct
animal.
They are a curiosity to
all who have seen them,
as nothing like them has
been seen in this vicinity.
The animal must have
resembled an elephant OR
q giant pig as the bones Of
the head indicate a snout-
ed beast. The snout does
. not converge to q point as
that of a hog but widens
at the end of the nose like
q hippotamus.
The teeth, which are in
a state of good preserva-
tiOn, are shaped like those
of the swine but are very
much larger. The enamel
of the teeth is like ivory,
and the root is dark brown
and very hard.
The tusks are three and
q half inches long and two
and three quarters inches
in circumference. The
texture of the teeth is far
I superior to that of the OK
or buffalo.
Mr.. Hoffman is anxious
. to know what age and
specis this animal belong

FARMER CAPTURES
ALLEGED ROBBERS
ARMED WITH RIFLE, COMPELS
MEN TO MARCH HALF MILE
TO NEIGHBORS.

Bowman, N. D., Dec. 3O.-Con-
fronted by three revolvers and held
by two masked men with demands
that he turn over his money and
valuables, Fred Kellner Of Buffalo
Springs, this county, yielded only
$3.50 to the highwaymen.
J. E. Rolf, a farmer, notified by
the sheriff to be on the lookout for
the highwaymen, captured two men
giving their names as Victor De-
Void and J. II. Dulton, and they
are now in the local jail.
Rolf saw the men about half a
mile from his home, and arming
himself with rifle, went out to
meet them. They took shelter be-
hind a knoll, but the farmer was
successful in accosting them as he
emerged on the other side, forcing
them to throw up their hands and
march before him half mile to the
Dave Brown home where the men
were searched. Three revo1vers
|and $45 in cash were found on them.
A house near Buffalo Springs was
broken into the day OF the robbery.
The men will be arraigned in
court tomorrow.

w. J. Lowe of some distance
north of the city, who is among the
very few farmers in Burke county
that raises sheep on larger scale,
was in the city on Saturday last de-
liverlng a load OF dressed mutton
for which he had taken orders on a
previous trip to town. In talking
to The Tribune about the sheep
proposition he told us that he found
it to pay exceptionally we'll, as 1t
required very little extra work on
farm where some cattle were kept
to raise from so to 100 each year.
In addition to raising sheep Mr..
Lowe usually puts in several acres
of potatoes each year and has al
ways come out to the good OH them
with the exception of this year. He
tells us that when he saw that there
was no market for them this fall
he dug only enough for his own use
and left the rest in the ground.
The dance given at the local op-
era house by the Bowbells Volun-
teer Fire Department was attended
by fully a hundred couple, all of
whom enjoyed themselves immense
ly. A five piece orchestra furnish
ed the music and the hall was very
appropriately decorated for the oc-
casion. Not only did people in the
city attend, but quite number from
other nearby towns and from the
country were in evidence. The af.
fair was a great success both so.

The Yoeman lodge at Woburn
have constructed a barn and will
give a free dance and supper on the
evening of January 18th to cele-
brate the event. At the same time
the installation of the officers will
take place. Woburn is the head
qSiarters for the -Yoeman lodge in
Burke county and has been for some
time past. One drawback in meet
ing there, however, was the fact
that there was no stable room to
accommodate the horses of members
coming in from out in the country.
The lodge at Coteau saw this, it is
understood, and offered to build
barn and donate it to the lodge if
meetings would be discontinued at
Woburn and held at Coteau instead.
The members in the vicinity of Wo-
burn learned what Coteau, was try
ing to do in short time;. and got
busy at once to hauling lumber and
putting up a building which was
completed last week. The dance
to be given on the 18th of this month
will be free from start to finish.
Nothing will be charged for either
dancing, supper or stable room. IS.

PROPERTY IN \. D.
VALUED TOO Low
SAID TO BE ASSESSED AT MUCH
LESS THAN ITS ACTUAL
VALUATION.

Grand Forks, Jan. 3.-That North
Dakota property is assessed on bas-
is of only about fifteen per cent Of
It's true value is the information
contained in the first report Of the
newly created commission just re-
ceived by the Development League
Press Bureau at Grand Forks.
Probably the most striking infor-
nation that it contains is that the
taxable property Of the state, which
was assessed this year at $394.770.-
$40. aggregates from $1,500.000.
900 to l,5OO,000,000. While the
commissions find it impossible to
even approximate the actual figure
for the assessable wealth Of the state
they believe that property in the
aggregate in North Dakota is be-
ing assessed at from fifteen. to
twenty per cent of it's actual value.
They find the actual value Of farm
lands in the state to be not far
from s950,000,000, while the as
|sessment this year was $199,073,-
I703.
ue COINlulS64Ou pOAAt5 Out SAoI
the failure to list an enormous
amount Of property in the state
works hardship in the higher
rates on the property listed; also
that it gives an entirely wrong i'm;
preston of the wealth of the state
and the burden of taxation. In
stead of going into statistical re-
ports throughout the country at
from one and one-half billion to two
billion dollars, the assessable wealth
of North Dakota goes forth at less
than three hundred million. It. ia
deceptive as to actual wealth and
resources Of the state and creates
the impression that North Dakota IL
tax ridden. In this connection, 1t
should be borne in mind, that per
capita wealth in North Dakota is
very high and that of necessity the
per capita tax must be the same.

II. RI. F'arreS OF ST. Faul Is Cne
new man in charge of the Endreson
harness and shoe shop, having ar
rived Sunday night and gone to
work Immediately. Mr.. Fares
comes here highly recommended
from the several places where he
has been employed during the past
20 years. He Understands the
business from Alto z in all kinds
of leather work, though his spe-
cialty is harness and shoe repair
ing. He will have entire charge
of the shop while Mr.. Endreson at
tends the session of the legislature,
and will no doubt be employed here
during the entire winter and next
summer. The many Bowbells peo-
pie who have been sort of up against
it for getting their shoes repaired
during the past few wmonths will
be glad to learn that Mr.. Endreson
was able to get man that could
do this work to the entire satisfac-
tion of all.
Chas. Bracken, one of the pion-
eer and enterprising farmers Of
eight miles vest of Bowbells was
in town on Saturday last looking
after some business matters, and
called OH his friend The Tribune.
In talking over different matters
he informed us that he was very
much satisfied with the way his
hi %hok
were the market where it usually
is, he would be better off financial
ly now than he ever was before in
his life. Mr.. Bracken is one of the
best farmers in Burke county, and
seems to understand. the business
from the bottom up. He has been
a resident at the foothills for al
most eight years, and has one Of
the best improved farms in his
neighborhood. We wish all the far
mers in this section of the state
were as Industrious as Mr.. Bracken
is. .'-
Anton E. Hagen from across the
lake, one of the pioneer farmers of
this great Bowbells country, was in
the city on Saturday last with big
load Of grain, and favored his Office
with friendly call. Mr.. Hagen
resides some sixteen miles from
Bowbells when he is able to cross
the lake on the ice, but during the
summer when he is compelled to
either go around the head of the
lake or go many miles out of the
way to cross n the bridge, he is over
20 miles away. During the sum
mer he makes Norma his trading
point, but as soon as the lake freez-
es so he is able to cross it, he in
yariably comes to this city. He is
now hauling his 1912 crop to the
local elevators, and is in the city

HOLDING GRAIN IN
LOCAL ELEVATORS
EVEN LINE COMPANIES ARE NOT
SHIPPING WHEAT ON AC-
COUNT OF PRICES.

Grain traffic over the Great North
ern from the Dakota and Minot dis
tricts has fallen to such an extent
that the company is beginning to
cut down its crews throughout the
state. At the various stations
where extra helpers and telegraph
ersi have been located for the grain
shipping period, these are being
dropped from the company's pay
roll, and there has been general
curtailment of expenses all along
the line to meet with the new condi-
tions created by the dropping off of
the traffic.
Another important feature that is
contributing to the lower freight
traffic is found in the Fact that sew
eral of the line elevator companies
are holding the grain in their ele-
yators in this state instead of ship
ping it out. They are dissatisfied
with the present prices and are not
shipping the grain out.
In several instances the compan-
les have notified the railroads not
to place cars at their dlSpOSal 1O1
shipping purposes, because of their
intention to hold their grain in the
local elevators. -a--.
Coal Situation Satisfactory.
Because of the extremely fine
winter weather that has been en-.
joyed throughout the northwest, the
anticipated coal shortage has beer
avoided and no trouble has occur.
red. The railroads have been able
to operate their trains with very
little delay at any time, and thai
fact has facilitated to a great de-
, gree both the handling of coal ship
ments from the head of the lakes
and the shipment of grain out O.
the state. ~

The quarterly report made out
by Sheriff Dick Stainhofer to the
county showing the amount OF per-
sonal property taxes collected by
him shows that from Oct. 18th to
Jan. 1st he collected a total of
s4,113.63, which is itemized as fol-
lows: Amount collected from Oct.
Is to Nov. /, s702.67; from Nov.
1 to Dec. /, $1,956.54; from Dec.
1, to Jan. l. $1,453.s0. All this
was collected according to the re-
ports without single penny paid
for either mileage or livery or 9TH
er expenses to the delinquents, ex-
cept the penalty as required by
law. At the present time there are
very few delinQuents In Burke coun-
ty, practically all having already
paid up. Mr.. stainhofer states
that there are few people that
moved away before the taxes be-
came delinquent and these of course
are uncollectable. With a few ex-
ceptions all others have paid In
full. The record made by Mr..
Stainhofer in making all these COL
lections without incurring any ex-
ira expense for livery or mileage is
a great credit to both himself and
the county, and we doubt If there
is another sheriff in the state that
can produce as good a record 40 q
