FLAMING POSTERS
ANNOUNCE CIRCUS
TONS OF ADVERTISING MATTER
BEING SCATTERED BY
COLE BROS. CIRCUS.

FLAMING posters in all colors of
the rainbow throughout this section,
proclaim the fact that the world
famed Cole Brothers United Shows
are to be seen in Bowbells on
Tuesday, June 3rd. Already the
small boy and his elders are happy
in anticipating the coming of this
mighty tented amusement enter
prise and its countless wonders.
For this season the Cole Brothers
enlarged their shows in every de-
partment and their greatly augu-
mented list of performers. feature
acts and menagerie exhibits made
it necessary to add several more
railroad cars Today three special
trains are required to transport the
huge tents, ponderous wagons,
cages. dens, chariots; tableau cars,
elephants, camels, horses ponies,
men and women.
: In the triple geological gardens,
combined under one vast spread of
canvas are to be found the finest
living specimens of rare, strange
and curious, animals from every
quarter of the globe. Prominent
in this collection is full grown
yellow Obvious Moschatus, posit-
lively the only one ever seen by
man. Captured north of Great
Slave Lake at latitude 64, it was
only by exercising the greatest di-
plomacy that the Cole Brothers
agents were enabled to get the ami
NAL out Of the country. Cover
ed with a heavy coat of pure gol
den hair, the beast was regarded
as sacred by the natives, not one
of whom could be induced to aid
in its capture. There are other ex-
hibits of animal life equally as
rare, making a. visit to Cole Broth
ers menageries of far. greater. ed
.Geationaf value. than wrlf ever be
gained by the deepest study Of all
the books at hand5 on the sub
ject of natural history. Inside the
vast canvas ampitheater are three
great rings and as many elevated
stages encircled by monster mo-
dern. hippodrome track. Over-cap-
ping all is veritable maze of
trapeze and horizontal pars, flying
rings, ropes, wires and other aer-
ial rigging. From the beginning
to the end Of the performance
hundreds of men, women and ami
NAL performers cover the ground
and fill the air In the rendition
of a programme, the ike ana equal
of which have never been seen.
There are -forty-one clowns and
merriment rules supreme.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
!. PLANTS TREES
f i
MVILLE CLUB IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE PLANTING OF
TREES EACH YEAR.

The idea that there ts no work
for a commercial club in a small
community is often advanced by
those who have not thought Of the
possible activities Of such an or
'galization. In Its amusements, its
educational and spiritual life, in its
sanitary problems, in fact in every
phase of small town life, the COM
mercial club can be made an i'm
portant factor.
Another community in North Da-
kotF has appreciated the import
ance of trees and is using it's club
to pro- v d them. The Nc
Vile commercial club at a recent
meeting, says the Neville Journal,
deci iaed to continue the good work
of and plant more trees
on 44sstreets in Neville.
Teams were arranged for and
a committee of twelve men selected
to 60 to the river and dig out the
trees while another big committee
was asked to take care of the
planting when the teams came back
with the trees.
~ Last Monday was selected, and on
that morning the digging committee
went to Peter Christiansen's place
on the bank of the old Sheyenne
River, where sixty-two good trees
were dug out in a short time.
After dinner stakes were set and
hole digging began, followed by
the planting crew which placed the
trees. At six o'clock the planting
was done and after supper the wat
ter crew did it's work.
The work of Monday adds sixty
two trees to those planted last
year on Main street. At this rate,
with the private citizen doing his
part, side or about his property,
it will not be long before Neville
will have a splendid layout of shade
trees. Everyone seems to have ad-
ded a few shade trees this season
Keep up the good work. Next sea-
son q park should he laid out and
the trees planted the same as above
mentioned:
There are hundreds of communi-
ties in North Dakota that could
follow the example OF Neville with
profit to all. Trees add to the
pleasure of living in town. They
add to the beauty and healthful-
ness Of a town and they add dollars
and cents to the value or property
tn town.

HEARING CONTESTS

SEVERAL IMPORTANT ACTIONS
BY GOVERNMENT AGAINST !

Schafer.t N. D., May 27-Sev-
eral important suits brought by
the government land Office. against
a number of homesteaders are
being held at Williston. and much
of the testimony for the same is
being taken here. The final. hear
ings will be held, at the United
States Land Office at Washington
some time next month.
All the cases are very interesting.
They are protests against the
homestead proofs of Fred N
Moulton of Alexander, N. D.. Frank
Nugent of Cartwright, N. D., Daniel
r. ;:Swisher, near Sehafer; DR.. Fred
Watson Of Amigo, Wis, and James
A. Holo Of Ellsworth.
@ The question involved in the Nu-
gent case was that the defendant
was not 21 years old nor the head
Sof a family at the time or making
entry. Nugent was II years Of
age and he attempted to- show he
was the head Of q family by intro
ducing testimony that he was sup
porting his sister.
The SSWishers case IS OF especial
interest for the reason that the de-
fendant made proof, secured a loan
on the receivers receipt, and fin
ally sold 1t to Dr. Watson. Swish

Expects to Buy Two or More
Carloads of Pure Bred

Will Prove a Good
ThfingFor Burke Co.
WILL BUY THE BREED WHICH
SEEMS TO BE IN GREATEST
DEMAND HERE. -

? +. o.. .
A.. c.. WIPER. president of the
First National Bank of this city,
and man who has in the past
always done his best to advance
the interests of the residents of
Burke county, is now making ar
rangements to take trip into
the dairy districts of Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Iowa for the pur-
pose of buying up TWO or more
carloads of pure bred dairy stock,
which he will in turn bring to
Bowbells to: sell to farmers who
want to improve their herds. Like
all other wide awake men, he rea-
Lies that Burke county will even
tually become dairy. district, and
the sooner it becomes so the bet
ter off we all will be. The Trib-
une is advised that Mr.. Wiper
will buy this stock FOR cash so
as to get the best possible price,
and will when necessary sell to
farmers here on time. His buy
ing in carloads will bring the price
down, and save a good deal of
money in freight He does mot
intend to make any money on the
transaction, but will sell the stock
!. for exactly what it cost plus freight
and whatever expense he mas been
put to-. .. ~, -
up, ',ttos' the present time Mr.:
Wiper has not fully, made up his
mind as TO what breed he will
buy. Some farmers seem to want
the Shorthorns. others the Guern-
seys. and still others the Holsteins.
1t would be advisable to get all
OF one breed here, and the chanc-
es are. that Mr.. Wiper VIII buy
the kind that seenas ts1t to g. bastn slqgo nes'
demand. - = y
this summer will have something
to do with Mr.. Wtper.s taxing the
trip to- buy the stock, and the
number; of carloads he will buy
will depend great deal on the
demand. If he finds that the crops
are turning out good and the far
niers will have money to invest
in blooded stock and are willing
to. do; it,: .therasis no question but
that he will get two or more cars
into Bowbells before harvest time.
Mr.. Wiper. is thinking some of
heading q stock company, for the
purpose OF putting up q creamery
in Bowbells, or put. one in him
self, and will no doubt do so as
soon as he is assured that there is
enough patronage forthcoming to
warrant him doing so.

WHAT BECOMES
Of MRS. WRIGHT
INNATE OF STATE PENITEN-
TIARY HAS NO PLACE TO GO
WHEN TERM EXPIRES.

Devils Lake. N D., May 28.-
What is to become of Mrs, Wright,
the woman sent to the state men,
ltentlary from Devils Lake for the
murder Of her daughter?
This is the question being asked
Dy the prison officials of North Da-
Kota. Her time has expired but
tiary
Broken in health, Weighing about
mar she did when convicted, she
ID aDout to be turned out into the
world Atty. F. J. Traynor. who
looked after the woman's inter-
est IN a transaction recently, re-
celved the following letter today:
Bismarck, N. D., May 25. 1913.
FRED +. Traynor. Esq, Devils
Lake, N. D.: Dear Sir: About
year or So ago, you were inter-
ested in the case of Mrs. Wright,
an inmate Of the state peniten-
tlary, and at that time I sent YOU
a statement regarding her physical
condition.
Mrs. Wright's time has now ex-
pred and she can be released at
any time but strenuously objects
70 going back to Devils Lake,
whilst apparently having nowhere
else to go. She speaks of people
In Indiana who want to make a
home for her, but has no letters
to show that anyone would take
an interest in her there. If she
returns to that state and becomes
q burden on any community, the
authorities would probably ship her
back to this state
AS her legal residence is in Ram
sey county, we think it would be
best for her to return there. but
she appears to think that she has
no friends in that county and ap-
apparently would rather. stay where
she is than return.
Mrs. Wright is not in good health
now. About two months ago she
fell and injured her left hip. She
is walking on crutches at present
but makes no great effort to help
herself. In addition she has a long
standing abcess on the right side
of the neck. This is probably tub
CIRCULAR. This combined with her
age makes it unlikely that she will
ever be able to earn her own live
! lihood land she will probably. al
| ways be a burden on her friends
or the public.
This is, of course, presuming that
she has no money or property of
her own, On this I am not inform
ed.
Warden Talcott is anxious to do
all he can for Mrs. Wright, but
of course has no authority to keep
her after her sentence has expired.
He intends to send an attendant
with her to Devils Lake If no 9TH
er arrangements can be made.
Probably you may know Of some
one who is interested enough in
Mrs. Wright to see that she is TAX
en- care of or who may know some
thing about her relatives east and
arrange for her being sent there.
Unfortunately Mrs. Wright Is SO
unreliable that no credence can be
placed in her own statements.
Yours very truly.
F. R. Smyth,
Prison Physician.

PENNILESS THOUGH
He WAS RICH
FARGO HARNESSMAKER LIVED
AND DIED IN POVERTY IG-
NORANT OF FORTUNE.

Fargo, North Dakota. May 26.-
Ignorant Of the fact that for the
last eight or ten years he had been
heir to large esta,e in Norway.
Ed. H. Rendell, harnessmaker of
Fargo, lived and died IN abject
poverty and was buried from the
county hospital yesterday morning.
The deceased came into his for
tune in Norway almost decade
ago and repeated efforts have been
made in that time to locate him.
Each time, it is said, the endeav-
ors Of the Christiania bankers
failed and the property has increas-
ed in value.
In the interim Mr.. Rendell con-
tinued his simple life in Fargo as
an Obscure harnessmaker. He
has been a resident of this city for
the last thirty years and had few
acquaintances among some of the
old timers.
e, Through the officials of the First
National Bank, another attempt
was made to locate the deceased
day before yesterday. Bankers at
Mayville had received request
from the Norwegian bankers to
make a thorough search for him
and it was rumored he was living
in Fargo.
Word reached the Mayville
bankers that the deceased was i'll
in one of the Fargo hospitals and
it was thought possible he might
be the party. Inquiry at all the
hospitals by Cashier Nesbit result
ed in the knowledge that Rendell
had that morning passed away at
the county hospital.
Immediately he communicated
with the Mayville bankers asking
if he should hold the body for bur-
ial A reply is now awaited from
Mayville.
If the story is true about Mr..
Rendell's property in Norway which
was left some years ago, he was
entirely ignorant OF the fact and
never enjoyed its benefits. The de-
ceased died without family or any
close friends to succeed him. and.
not knowing he possessed such
property, he left no provision for
:its,. disposition among those whom
he might like to have seen provid-
ed for comfortably.

FOrges Name of w. O. Tuck
er to Check Drawn on
the First State Bank
Makes his GETAWAY
and is at Large
SHERIFF'S OFFICE Is WORKING
OVERTIME IN ENDEAVOR
TO APPREHEND HIM.

Jens Peterson Is out tust $l6
as a result of doing business with
a forger Saturday evening of last
week. A warrant has been issued
for the man, but up to the present
time he has not been apprehend-
ed and the authorities have about
given up hope of landing him.
The man gave his name as Fred
ThansVich, and for month this
spring was employed on the W. o.
Tucker farm near this city. He
spent some months last fall here
working out, and left for the east
when cold weather set in. return
ing again about six weeks ago. A
week before he committed the
crime he left the employ of Mr..
Tucker and was given a check for
's35 for what was due him, and
he cashed this check at the Pet
erson store. On Saturday even
ing, a week later, he again ap-
peared with $35 check and at
ter making some small purchases
he handed the check to Pete Pet
erson who was waiting on him.
On going to the till Pete found
that there was only SIG in the
house at the time, and 80 told his
customer. The check man said
that the SIG would be acceptable
to him at the present time. and
that he would call later for tho
rest of the change due him, and
with this arrangement he left the
store. The check in this instance
also had the name of Mr.. Tucker
and was drawn on the First State
Bank of Bowbells.
Shortly after the checkman left
Pete got a. little suspicious, and
the same evening phoned but TO
the Tucker farm to learn wheth-
er or not the check was signed
by Mr.. Tucker. On advice that it
was not, he Immediately swore out
a warrant for the strangers ar
rest. The last seen OF the culprit
was when he crossed the track af-
ter leaving the Peterson store,
and nothing has been neard from
him since, although Sheriff Stain
hofer and his deputies have put
forth every effort to locate him.

LING ESCAPE FROM DEATH
WHILE OUT RIDING.

Williston. N. D.. May 27.-An-
drew Hanson, a young farmer who
resides seven miles east Of the
city had a miraculous escape from
death when driving home last
Thursday. The neck yoke iron
broke allowing the buggy tongue
the buggy to heave in such vio-
thrown out. One leg went through
front wheel and was broken be-
low the knee. Clinging to the
lines and dragging between the
wheels. the victim of the mishap
freed his foot from the wheel only
to get caught in the running gear.
His team ran. away and he was
dragged in this plight over half q
mile, never releasing his hold on
the reins.
Finally the team stopped and
help was attracted. Mr.. Hanson
was brought to Williston and plac-
ed under the care Of DR.. Distal
at the city hospital. The broken leg
was in bad shape, the bone shat
tered and protruded through the
flesh and the wound was full of
dirt. Amputation seemed the only
recourse but Mr.. Hanson would
not submit so the leg was set and
bound up the best, possible way
and at latest reports was doing re-
markably we'll and there seems q
good chance for a fairly sound mem-
ber.
Mr.. Hanson was married only a
few months ago.
