western portion OF the state develop

justice Of having all the educational

Red River Valley, and a third normal

northwestern portion Of North Dako.
ia. Now the southwestern portion,
comprising %one.fourth OF the entire

1t is only justice 20 the teachers
and patrons of normal schools gen
orally taht a school be centrally and
conveniently located for this rapidly
developing portion OF North Dakota.
Very few OF these school patrons can
travel to Valley City and Mayville,
an average distance OF more than
$50 miles, for the educational advan-
tuges needed. The records do not
show more than % attendants in

The people surely need the advan.
tage Of normal school training and at
the end of five years, the earliest
possible date that the new scmhOOl

con dition, the need will be very
much greater than at this time.
Hence push all together for a nor.

at the map, noting the location OF
other nOrmals, and no one will NueS-
ton the merit of Dickinson's request
in asking for the fourth normal
school, in order that the school pat

equal footing with those in the east

the state.

BASEMENT Was WELL
FILLED With water

Bowman Pioneer: The basement
OF the residence Of Hon. j. Il. Phel-
an OF oWman was flooded last Sunday
to the depth Of nearly two feet by
the breaking OF a water pipe leading
from the city rnain. Mr.. and Mrs.
Phelan are in Florida, so there was
no one in the house at the time. Mar
shall Sctafer noticed Saturday that
there was q leak some place, but was
unable to locate it until Sunday. AT
that time all the water had run out
OF the city tank. The water ran into
the cesspool from the basement and
soaked into the ground, so it did not
get high enough to reach the engine
or body Of the automobile which was
there. Trunks and boxes were float
ing around in the basement and 1t is
probable that considerable damage
was done to the contents.

GALLONS ENDS A
S0RD|D 1AGEDY

SHREVEPORT, La, March 18TH
Protesting to the very last that his
woman accomplice was far more gull
ty than he. Albert l.. Watson was
hanged here today for his part in the
murder OF C. C. Bailey. Mrs. Bailey.
| who was the wife of the murdered
man, serving a five years sentence
in the penitentiary for her share in
the crime.
The murder of Bailey, who was a
wealthy lumber mill owner. was the
result Of a love affair between Mrs.
| Bailey and Watson. According to the
| alleged confessions OF the guilty pair,
Mrs. Bailey c%onspired to rid herself
| OF her husband and Watson agreed to
! do away with his wife.
Mrs. Watson is believed to have
been killed in a Texas town in the
| spring of 1912. A short time later
Watson came to Metcalf, La, where
Eailey operated a lumber mill, obtain
ed employment and was taken into
the Bailey home as a member of the
family. Bailey was murdered on the
night of September 2, 1912. When
| Watson was arrested on suspicion he
first declared Bailey was slain by a
burglar.
Under the rigid examination of the
authorities Watson weakened and
made a clean breast of what he de-
clared was a double murder plot. Ac-
cording to the confession he and Mrs.
Bailey had entered into a compact at
Flanagan, Texas, by which Watson
WAS to poison his wife and Mrs. Bal
ley her husband. Watson declared
he had fulfilled his part of the agree
ment before coming to Louisiana.
Upon his arrival at Metcalf he urg.
ed Mrs. Bailey to hurry her part of
the conspiracy. He declared that the
| woman tied seveal times to poison
her husband but failed because she
| did not know how to administer the
dose. Meantime Galley became sils-
| picious and quarrelcd with his wife.
On the day of the tragedy she left
their home. Watson crept into the
house during the night, carrying a
heavy AK, with which he confessed he
murdered Bailey.
when ] raised that AK" Watson is
quoted as saying in his confession.
ito strike that sleeping man, ! said
to myself. This will send your soul
to hell That's where | belong, and
the sooner I'm hanged the better |
shall be satisfied
On the eve of execution Watson ad-
hered to his declaration that Mrs.
Bailey had cxerted a sort OF hypnotic
influence over him that caused him
to acccdc to her request to kill Bailey

TO Urge
BUILDING IN Of 500
PRESIDENT PENNINGTON AND
OTHER OFFICIALS TO De TAX.
EN- OVER COUNTRY.

GLENDIVE, Mont, March 49,
Strenuous efforts are to be made by
business men for the building of the
500 railway into Glendive. AT a mass
meeting held last night, the matter
was enthusiastically discussed and a
fund of $500 was subscribed to be
used in taking President Pennington
and the consulting engineer Of the
company over the adjacet territory.
The trip will be made in ar auto
mobile in order to show the railroad
men that by building into this city
the road will pass through the heart
of the best agricultural country In
eastern Montana.
Mr.. Pennington recently assured a
committee of local citizens that he
would make the trip. A %"pathfind-
err car is scheduled to leave here
next Monday for the purpose of blaz.
ing q trail which will be followed by
the party in charge of the inspection
tour.
II is realized that If the proposed
line follows the northern survey
two having been made--it will mean
a loss Of trade to this city, and that
If the railway is built into Glendive
It will mean the holding up Of such
territory and business and the ac-
QUESTION of other trade.
Farmers report that winter wheat
is in excellent condition, despite the
fact that the snowfall OF the last three
months vas comparatively light. Ar
~rangements are being made to seed
an immense area of flax, and the soil
Is in good condition.

WANrON mischief Done
1ObO71INEAU HOSPITAL

BOTTINEAU, N. D., March 1S.-The
wanton, malicious mischief wrought
at the new hospital building on Sun
day is an indication that several boys
are getting in a fair way to be candi-
dates for a term in the reform school.
An entrance to the building was
forced, windows were smashed and
the freshly painted floors and walls
were defaced wit hmud. The extent
of the damage is sufficient to delay the
completion Of the building and to
cause considerable money loss. Sew
era days will be lost in cleaning and
repainting.
The guilty parties are not known,
but there is sufficient ground for we'll
formed suspicious. They are under
surveillance and another act of van
dalism will get them into serious
trouble with a strong probability Of
a term in the reform school at Man
dan.

has been engaged This week i'm a
somewhat unusual business for
this time of the year. 1t appears
that Mr.. Brown was unable to cut
all his flax crop last fall before
the early snow fall made it i'm
possible to cut the crop until-now.
So Mr.. Brown proceeded to en-
gage, threshing machine and
cut and thresh it at the same
time. 1t is reported that the flax
is in much better condition than
that which was cut last fall and
laid over the winter, and is yield
ing about ten bushels to the acre.
But it certainly looks funny to
see harvesters and threshing ma
chimes running at this time of
the year, when plows, seeders and
drills are usually running.

NORTH DAKOTA BOYS
WILL RAISE CORN

A number OF North Dakota boys
entered the State Acre Yield Corn
Contest, held under the direction
of the Better Farming Associa-
tion in 1912, and succeeded in
producing higher yields than tho
farmers of the state. The first
prize was won by twelve yea
old boy in Ransom county. The
total of cash prizes won on his
corn and the money obtained
through the sale of his seed col "
amounted to $40 for the acre.
Sveeral boys in other counties
won from $25 to $50. The con-
test will be renewed this year
with even more liberal prizes. and
the entries will be limited to boys
between the ages of 10 and Is
years. In all, 500 i'm gold is Of
fered to the boys producing The
highest acre yields of mature corn
in the state. The state is divided
into two sections, a northern and
a southern. The first prize i'm
each section is SIS. Fourteen
minor prizes are offered, the low
est being $40. A sweep STAKES
prize of 800 is offered to the boy
producing the highest yield for
the state. This means that lI,"
boy producing the highest yield
of mature corn in North Dakota
will receive $175 in prizes. In ad-
dition to the prizes offered i'm the
state contest many counties are
carrying on local contests in
which considerable prize money
is to be awarded. This is a splrn
did opportunity for the farm boy
between 10 and 18 years of age
to show what they can do i'm The
way of corn production. The re-
quirements are simple: al least
one acre of corn must he grown
under field conditions: the corn
must be variety which will ma
ture. and must be so handled as
to produce the best possible yield.
Entries may be made through
the field agents of the better
farming association or by send
ing names direct to the secretary
of the better farming association
at Fargo. Entries must be made
before May goth.

HOW ABOUT A
BASE BALL TEAM?
Most Every Burg In State HAS q
Team -Wahpeton Should
Get In tho Game.

Wahpeton needs a baseball
team. Can it be that there is not
sufficient good live sporting blood
coursing through the veins of
our prominent ''cits" to make a
ball team possible.
Now is the time to get busy.
While other little ''burgs" in our
vicinity are preparing to put their
respective towns on the map by
organizing mines to swat the COW
er off the ball, we are basking in
the sunshine scanning the hox
scores from distant cities and
are preparing to swat the fly.
Oh, for a magnate to start the
ball rolling! What splendid
opportunity is going by the boards
because of the neglect Of some
enterprising merchant to adver-
tise his wares by supplying nine
healthy chaps with baseball uni; :
forms and bats.
Think of it! Here is a city OF
5000 inhabitants without the
semblance of an organization tc
demonstrate the great national
pastime. We had a chance tG
grab Hans Wagner for our team
and we told him he would have to
stay in kensal, N. D., because we
couldn't find eight other fellows
who W uld form a playing COM
bination.
The other day letter was re-
ceived containing a challenge
from a cycling supply house in
Fargo. The self addressed en-
velope still awaits an acceptance
because everybody is too busy
making money from Monday tc
Saturday to think of organizing q
bali team.
Unless something is done pref
ty soon it may be necessary tC
plow up the diamond on the is
land in order to put it to some
use. Land is pretty valuable
around here and it ought not to
stand idle.
Isn't it possible for all factions
to get together just once and pull
for a real ball team? We neeC
the ecitement Of a Ninth inning
rally to allow us to give vent tG
our American enthusiasm fol
conquering somebody or some
thing.
