CLAIMED PADUSKY
TRIED TO SEDUCE HER
ASSAULT CASE IN COUNTY
COURT BRINGS OUT SOME
SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE-DE-
PENDANT A SAUSAGE MAKER
HERE.

The Padusky case was tried in
county court this week. The defend
ant, who is a sausage maker at ore
Of the local meat markets, was placed
under arrest last week, charged with
assault, the complaint being made by
Mrs. Anna Heimbaugh, neighbor.
The woman claimed that Padusky at
tempted to seduce her after which she
informed Padusky's wife. This so en-
ragged the man that she says he called
her over to the house on the pretext
Of getting her to care for the baby,
whereupon he scolded her and used
very strong language. Mrs. Helm
bach says he grew so abusive that she
struck him in the face, whereupon the
fellow gave her severe beating. This
is denied by both Padusky and his
wife.
Mrs. Heimbach is about thirty years
old, the mother of four children, three
of whom are in the Fargo home. Her
husband is in an insane asylum in
Canada.
The jury found Padusky guilty.

WILL BE EVEN
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
SEVERAL GOOD MUSICAL Or
CARNATIONS WILL BE HERE.

The Minot Chautuaqua will open
July 8, and continue for eight days,
being held this year in the armory,
which is cool and attractive in sum-
mer. Later on it is planned to hold
open air Chautauquas, with opportun-
ity for physical exercise and similar
enjoyments, but it was felt that this
year it was wiser to keep to the en-
tertainments only, and in an easily
accessible place. The numbers this
year are Of high merit, surprising,
the managers say, those of last year.
Congressman Watson, reputed the
most eloquent speaker on the platform
today, will be heard during the
course, as will the Catha Woodland
Players, who have a troupe of fifteen
persons and their own music, and pre-
sent Shakesperian plays and dramatic.
recitals. The music this year is of
unusual excellence, including the
Seminary Girls, the Hearon Sisters,
and the famous Chicago Male Quar-
tette.

VISITS FATHER
after 81 YEARS
MRS. CARRIE SHIRLEY WRITES
FROM NORWAY OF HER EN-
JOYABLE TRIP-VISITS OLD
HOME FIRST TIME IN MANY
YEARS.

Mrs. Carrie Shirley, mother Of the
Shirley brothers, Minot's well known
merchants, writes from Norway
where she is visiting after an absence
OF "a years. She had NO. seen her
old father in all these years and the
reunion was most enjoyable. Mrs.
Shirley's father, who is now past 80
years Of age, lives near Christiania
Mrs. Shirley accompanies Julius Fau-
chald and family and A. c. Nedrud
and daughter, Agnes, across the wat
er. She was entertainel at the cot
tage which Mr.. Faucbald leased, on
mountain side overlooking the city
of Christiania. She writes that Julius
is some entertainer as h. serves six
meals a day and there is real style
to the SERGE. Mrs. Shirley says the
only one who became sea sick on the
voyage was Miss Agnes Nelrud and
this would not have happened, hEt
having no faith in the bottle Of nledi-
cine which her father carried to ward
off the sickness, she failed to safe
guard herself against the unpleasant
ness.

SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER
HOLD YOUR PEACE.

The city board of equalization is in
session this week and will probably
not complete it's work until next week.
This is the time to complain if you
think your property has not been as
sessed fairly. Don't wait for the
county board Of equalization for that
board has right to only adjust as
sessments as between townships, not
individuals. The Independent be-
lieves that Minot's assessor, H. E.
Wheeler, did better work this year
than was ever done before for with
his new system he spread the assess
ments in the fairest possible manner.

G. p. MILDE, OF SCOTS MILLS,
ORE, WORRIES OVER wIFEs
GETTING A DIVORCE AND
GOES A CUNNING FOR HER
ATTORNEY.

After writing numerous threaten
ing letters to Atty. F. B. Lambert Of
this city, extending over a period of
two years, G. P. Milde, school teach
er from SCOTS Mills, Ore, arrived in
the city Friday afternoon with the
avowed intention of killing the Minot
attorney. In some of his letters Mil
de also threatened Judge Leighton.
Kenmare country, separated from his
wife several years and went west. He
sued for divorce, alleging infidelity,
but Mrs. Milde filed cross bill on
the grounds of desertion and secured
torney and the case came up before
Judge Leighton.
Milde has been writing threatening
these she has turned over to her at
torney. He also wrote Mr.. Lambert
several times. He imagined that he
had been wronged by everyone and
this seems to have unbalanced his
mind.
He wrote Mr.. Lambert that he
would be here June ! and told him his
purpose in coming. Mr. Lambert noti-
fled the police and altho they had been
expecting the man, he managed to
elude them.
Bilde walked at once to the sher-
ifs Office and informed Mr.. Kelley
that he had come to kill Lambert. He
didn't appear to be a very dangerous
man, but he carried a SO calibre re-
volver in leather case wrapped care
fully in handkerchief in his suit
case. Kelley sent for Lambert and
the men talked the trouble over. Mil
de said that affidavits that the attor-
ney had made in the divorce case had
blackened his character. He wanted
the divorce annulled and the afidavits
taken back.
Mr.. Lambert has been "toting" a
gun for several weeks expecting Mil
de to make an attack on him, but for
tunately found no occasion to use it.
When Lambert arrived at the sher-
iff's Office, the sheriff informed him

IMMIGRATION fund
FOR Ward COUNTY
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL
BE PETITIONED TO PROVIDE
ONE-FOURTH MILL TAX IN
ACCORDANCE WITH NEW
LAW.

A petition will be presented to the
board of county commissioners at its
July meeting, asking it to pass a res
olution providing for one-fourth
mill immigration tax. The board will
:ery likely pass such resolution
which will provide fund Of between
two and three thousand dollars which
will be expended in attracting immi-
grafton to Ward county. We need
more farmers. We have thousands of
acres of land in all parts of the
county which ought to be under culti-
vation, and the law passed by the last
legislature providing for the immi-
grafton tax is good one.

Duluth Boosters Visit Elsberry Farm.

A large number of the Duluth
boosters were taken out to j. E. Els
berry's Riverside Dairy farm. They
were loud in their praises of the way
in which this model farm is handled
and declared that it was without
question the most up-to-date dairy
they had visited in the state. They
arrived just at milking time and the
sight Of the white coated men pail
ing the cows" in the good old fash
ioned way made some Of the boost
ers wish they were back on the farm
again.

The company has ordered the mach

plant will be patterned after the one
which the state installed at Hebron
and which has been making briquettes
for several years. The Hebron plant
is small, only 16 tons being made

residents Of that locality for years,
who prefer them to hard coal. The
Minot plant will have capacity of

ing full time.
The company is not certain just
what price it can quote on the BRIO
uettes, but it is certain that it will be
considerable less than that quoted on
hard coal. Briquettes have about the
same number of heat units as hard
coal and burn with less waste.
1t is believed that the first price
placed on the product will be about
$11 ton but this will no doubt be
scaled from time to time
The company owns over 700 acres
of valuable coal land near Burlington.
A small amount Of bituminous coal
will be used in the manufacture of
the product.

Milde is still in Jail. He is under

possible that he will be sent back to

Milde imagines that he is as great a

time at the Jail in the study of Psy-

Father Raith Here Twelve Years.

Just twelve years ago this week
Father Jos. Raith came to Minot to
take. charge of St. Leo's Catholic
church. We doubt if there is priest
in the state who has been connected
with any church longer. When Faith
er Raith located here he found a
small church with but few score
members. No priest could have work
ed harder and his labors have been
fruitful.
Today st. Leo's church is one of
the largest in the state and thru the
efforts of the Father one of the hest
edifices in North Dakota was erected.
Father Raith is a broad-guaged pas
tor who is doing valuable work in his
community.

GRAZING REGULATION
UPHELD BY STOCKMEN

There were only 144 cases Of
grazing trespass on the national
forests during the past fiscal year,
according to a report issued from
the forest service. The service
considers this remarkable, in view
of the fact that the national for
ests contain 138,000,000 acres
and have boundaries many thou
sands of miles in length. Nearly
$4,000 grazing permits were
issued, and more than 20, 900, 600
head of domestic animals grazed
upon the forests for periods from
a few days, in crossing, . to a
whole year.
The various forest officers in
charge Of the areas on which this
stock grazed are much pleased by
this record, because it reasonably
might be assumed that it would
be extremely difficult to protect
this large area from the encroach-
ments of live stock and from de-
probation of various sorts. A
large part of the difficulty, how
ever, is obviated by the ready
cooperation of the stock owners
who use the range.
Of the LA cases where the de-
partures from the regulations of
the department Of agriculture
were considered serious enough
to warrant the filing of a trespass
charge, 20 were dismissed by the
department because of lack of
proof. The department points out
that, while there were of course a
great many MINOR violations due
to a lack of knowledge or a mis-
understanding of the regulations,
they were settled without difficult
ty through the issuance of per-
mits to cover the cases or by
personal conferences which were
sufficient to prevent further
trouble.

law is now pending before the
Supreme Court Of this State,
coming from Tucson, on a case
instituted by the County Attor-
ney of Pima County, but the fact
that this case is pending offers no
good or sufficient reason for the
collection of the minimum charge
by the company doing business
in your town, as we contend that
the strict letter Of the statute
should be followed.
At the last Special Session, it
was enacted that were meter

pose with the consent of this
Commission first having been OBJ
tained), a minimum bill not to
exceed $1.00.
No restrictions as to the amount
of the minimum bill for power
purposes, was provided. This law
becomes effective October 1st,
1913.
If the WinsloW Electric Light
& Power Company on, or after
October 1st, 1913, makes applica-
ton to this Commission praying
that a minimum charge not to
exceed $1.00 may be made, we
will SO advise you, and you will
have an opportunity to appear
and be heard.
At present we hold that min

where the amount used is less
than the sum total Of said mini
