T. F. Peterson and Fred
ellsworth a few days ago put
the finishing touches on the in
terror: of the fine new farm
homes of Billy White and Will
Clarke, located about nine
miles south Of the city, and now
the boys are quite justified in
the~opinion held by both that
they have respectively as at
tractive homes as ''anybody's
people" Both are hard and
effective workers and have
made good in the Bowbells
country-and, as q conse-
quence, being withal good fel-
lows, are entitled at all times
to the very best there's to be
Ihadat any and all times.

EXAMINERS BUSY
ON DEED BOOKS
SARGENT COUNTY OFF,
SIAL is FOUND SHORT
IN HIS ACCOUNTS.

Cogswell, N. D., July ,22.-
Deputy State Examiner Berry
and Markley have been at work
for the past Week on the
books in the office of the reg
lister of deeds to ascertain, the
amount Of shortage during the
eight years D. L. Warriner
was in charge.
There is considerable spec
lation as to the amount the
shortage will total and it is
estimate all the way from
$1,000 to as high as $4,000,
but all concede it will be larg-
er than at first expected.
Mr.. Warriner is not at the
county seat and his where
abouts are unknown. He left
on the east bound 500 train
the night before the examiners
arrived and his address in un-
known to the board.
None of the bond companies
are represented while the ex-
animation is in progress, and
just what action they will
take when they receive notifi-
cation is matter if conjecture.

J. w. Moore, of the Moore
Johnston Realty Co., tells The
Tribune that he is now nego-
tiating the sale Of several quar-
ters of land to parties from
below who, in the event of
the deal being successfully car
ried through, intend bringing
on several hundred head of
Angora goats, for the proper
sustenance anil propagation of
which they think the hills
country to the south of Bow
bells is admirably adapted.
The contemplated deal is for a
large body of land which the
Moore-Johnston Realty Co.
has recently acquired out in
that part of burke county,
and the intent of the parties
of the second part is to start
a goat milk cheesery out there
when they get things in shape
for the institution of same.
The company is made up of
men who have had extensive
experience in the raising of
Angoras down in Texas, and
who express the opinion, af-
ter having given the hills coun-
try to the south Of this city
careful inspection, that they
will have there locality more
favorable in all respects than
the hills Of Texas for this
business.

LOSES SIGHT +.
BY EXPLOSION
WAS BLOWING STUMPS
OUT WITH DYNAMITE
WHEN IT HAPPENED.

Bottineau, N. D., July o.
Olof Hanson, a farmer living
north of Dunseith, had both
eyes put out and sustained
other serious injuries by an
explosion of dynamite that
he was using for blasting
stumps.
He had planted a charge of
dynamite under a stump and
after lighting the fuse had
gone back some distance to
await the explosion. AS the
charge die not go off he went
back and dug away some of
the earth from around the
fuse and relighted it with a
newspaper. The fuse had
burned shorter than he thought
and there was an immediate
explosijn. 8.
| Hanson was thrown some
distance and was rendered un-
conscious. His face and hands
were 50 badly injured that he
will lose the use Of the optics.
Deep gashes were cut in his
face and hands and the upper
part of his body peppered with
the dirt and gravel.
Hanson is about IS years
old, a bachelor, and was alone
at the time of the accident.
When he regained conscious
ness he found himself COM
pletely blinded and it was
sine time before he could find
assistance. After !, wandering
about for some time he heard
a mower in the distance and
going is that direction was
able to attract the attention of
a farmer and get help.
He was. brought, to the
Johnson hospital III this city
Wednesday and is at present
getting along nicely. He will
probably recover unless blood
poison develops, but will never
again regain his sight.

CHANCE FOR
HOMEsTtAOERS
COOPERATIVE co. WILL
FURNISH THEM COWS
.&ON 1NSTALLMENTS.

White River, S. D., July "a.
Progressive homesteaders of
the new county of Mellette,
which until recently was en-
braced is the Rosebud Indian
reservation, have taken pre-
liminary steps, with the aid of
the White River Commercial
club, to organize a co-operat-
i've association with the object
of securing and selling cows
on the installment plan, in
order to enable homesteaders
to remain in the country after
they have made final proof.
1t will be the object Of the
proposed association to furnish
cows to homesteaders and per-
nit them to make payment
in installments. When a home
steader secures one or more
he can dispose of the cream and
! thas have a steady income
which will tide him over the
rough places met with in bring
ing under cultivation new land.
One homesteader who is MAX
ing a success of the dairy in
dustry thus describes his oper-
ations, which it is intended
shall be an example for all the
homesteaders of Mellette coun-
ty. .s
II have fenced my homestead
and am milking ten cows.
The cream from these bring
me about $40 a month. I feed
the milk to the calves and
have just purchased more heif-
ers. The cream sells for %
and "a cents. There has not
been a day since I established
my residence on my homestead
that I have not made my liv-
ing expenses will sure stick

Report has it that a wind
storm that visited the hills
country south Of this place
last Friday night turned over
some shacks and small barns
many Of which were rendered
total wrecks. One homestead
er whose wagon with hayrack
thereon was standing close to
the shack in which he and
his family were sleeping, both
wagon and rack were lifted
high from the ground by the
force of the wind and set
astride the roof of the. shack.
In relating this incident to The
Tribune, the homesteader
whose property was thus rude
ly disturbed by the virulanee
of the storm, gave it as his
honest opinion that, but for
the weight of the wagon on
the roof of his domicle, the
latter might have been torn to
pieces and the lives of himself
and family thereby put in
jeopardy. He thinks the "lift-
ing" of the wagon on the top
of the shack was nothing more
nor less than a Visitation of
Divine Providence" as he puts
it.

SEEKS To END
HIS TROUBLES
NORTH DAKOTA MAN
LEAVES WORD HE WILL
SUICIDE.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 23.-
The authorities are searching
for J. W. Qstranded Of Mer-
Ger, N. D., who disappeared
here, after leaving notes stat
ling he intended to commit sui
|cide. He asked that his sons
pay his funeral expenses, as
his wife, who lives on a home
stead near Mercer, is unable
to do so.
Ostaander was employed as
a book agent and the day be-
fore his disappearance he re-
ceived a letter from the firm
discharging him. He was IS
years of age.
He was seen late yesterday
in the northern part of the
city, and every effort is being
made to find him before he
carries out his rash act.
Twice before Ostrander has at
tempted to suicide, once by
throwing himself in front of a
moving train, and another time
by taking poison, but both
times his life was saved. He
has been in Aberdeen three
weeks, coming from Fargo.

GREAT NORTHERN
ABAND0NS WORK
DEVOTE ATTENTION TO
COMPLETION OF OUT
LET FOR MCKENZIE.

schafer, N. D., July 23.-
Orders have been given by the
Great Northern railroad to a.
bandon construction work on
the New Rockford-Lewiston
line east of Wattford, the
town four miles south of Schaf-
er, and whole attention will
be given to the completion of
the line west of here, giving
Mckenzie county an outlet by
way Of Fairview and Mondak,
Mont, this fall. The western
outlet crosses the Yellowstone
river near Fairview.
Construction gangs east of
Wattford have left the district.
Serious engineering difficulties
were encountered. and it was
found impossible to complete
the line this year as a result.
Ni0be Work Delayed.
On the Niobe extension the
Great Northern has not made
any further moves, the short
age of rails being responsible
for a delay in the operations.
However, there does not ap-
pear to be any real need of
immediate action as the Grand
Trunk line, with which the.
Niobe extension connects, is
still some distance from the
boundary lina

COUNCIL PASSES
FRANCHISE

Water Proposition Now up to People.
The city council on Monday night
unanimously passed the ordinance
providing for the giving of a fran
chise to the. Butler Water Company,
and the proposition will be put for
either ratification or rejection on
Tuesday, November 18th.
The ordinance as passed is the re-
suit of two years effort upon the
part of the city council and the water
company to agree upon a system of
rates which might be fair and equit-
able to the water consumers and tax
payers and still pay the company a
reasonable profit upon their invest
ment. This ordinance was introduced
in the council several weeks ago and
has been the subject of several ses-
sions at each of which numerous con-
cessions were demanded of the water
company and in the majority of in
stances, made. As it now stands,
the ordinance is the best, majority
OF the members of the council be-
lieve, that the water company can be
induced to accept in view of the sub
stantial reductions from the rates
provided for in the original franchise.
The official proclamation and ordi-
nance appears in another column of
The Times this week and every citi-
zen should familiarize himself with
its provisions.
