comnritta2 suicide by shooting,
about ~ clock Sunday evening.
She had been very respondent
for several days, insisting on
being alone. However, her con-
dition was not such as to arouse
suspicion. At the time she took
her life there was no one near.
and no shot was heard. The fami-
ly, returning to the house, found
her back Of the house, gun in
hand, dead. The gun was of q
the shot taking effect in
the throat directly under the
chin. Death was instantaneous. 5,
Deceased was daughter of u. A.
Carlson, a well known farmer,
living near Painted Woods lake
in Mclean county. Her mother
died at her birth. Besides her
father, she leaves several BROTH
ers and sisters. 1.
No cause for the deed. is as
signed aside from dependency,
as she had had no trouble to-
cause the act.

WILL BUILD AT
LEAST TO BULEAH

All contractors on the grade
have recsi,ed hurry up orders"
and to get heir contracts finish
ed in double quick time. When
one contractor finishes his job
he has gotten orders to help
another so that all possible haste
can be made to finish grading
and lay track to Buelah before
wint r sets. And warnings have
been sent out to not shirk in the
work as a heavy penalty will
then be imposed. This all means
that rails will be laid and we ac-
commodaed by trains even fur
ther than our hopes were vanish
ing to. Yes, its fact that we
will be blessed by trains this fall
as the company has announced it.
Here is what the Mandan News
says OF it:
Requistion has been made by
the Northern Pacific for material
for 20 miles Of railroad to be
constructed west from Stanton
this fall and, though no certain
details have been given out, it
is generally believed here that
the company expects to have
work under way by September Is
which will insure the completion
of the 20 miles of line by Oct
ober at the latest.
News Of the company & sudden
decision in the long pending
matter Yves brought Sunday by
Chief Engineer P. E. THAN, who
came in from st. Paul to look
after some preliminary arrange

work.
Although the requiGtion calls

Would End the
Riot at Minot
Conference Held by Officials and
Socialists Leaders to Quell
Trouble

Mlnot, N. D., Aug. 2o.-LOcal
[authorities are cooperating, as
much as possible, with lead -
socialists of the city in an eft6n
to quel the l. w. w. labor trodbs
les which have prevailed here over
two weeks, and have been parti-
ally successful.
At conference at which the
city commission, the Ward coun-
ty officials and the socialist
local were represented, the
various sides Of the controversy
were presented, and it was gener-
ally admitted that changes in
*b plan Of dealing. with the situa-
tion were quite essential.
A call by Arthur LeSeuer to
the socialists Of Minot, asking
that they refrain from attempt
ing street corner addresses, was
the result of the conference, and
this has been the means Of bring
ing about quiet conditions for
the Last few days.
The day following Dewey Dor
mans appearance on the witness
stand, when he was alledged to
have declared himself as an un-
believer in the United States and
the state constitution, as we'll as
in his oath as a city commissioner,
a recall petition was circulated
and it was generously signed. Mr..
D0rman is street commissioner.
In a meeting of the socialists,
attended by about 100, move
ment was started to recall other
members of the city commission,
and petitions with that object in
view were prepared. None of the
petitions have been filed and it
may be probable that the recall
election will be avoided if the
officials can come to some fur
ther agreement on the situation.
President N. Davis Of the city
commission has issued a state
ment declaring the fight has not
been against free speech, but ag-
ainst the kind Of speech that has
been indulged in; also, that the
public have certain authority
over public speaking.

GET SOME COWS
SAYS THE BANKER

A farmer in the southern part
OF the state who depended on
the small grain crop, had a total
failure a few years ago and I'm
the early part of.the winter waKk-
ed into the local bank to borrow
500.
The banker made enquiry as to
whit he wanted Of the money and
was informed that the money was
needed to buy food during the
winter. The banker then explain
ed to the farmer that this
money would all be used up for
a living before another spring
and then he would have to have
more money to carry him through
until fall, and then if he had
another crop failure he would be
worse off than ever, and there
would be little chance Of the
bank ever getting its money
back. Instead Of loaning him the
money, Mr.. Banker advised him
that there was going to be a
sale nearby where some good
milch cows We're to be sold. The
banker told the farmer to 60
there and buy five good cows
and he would provide the money
to pay for them. Mr.. Farmer
followed instructions and took
the cows home. The five COWS
mfde him a living until the next
fall when, in addition to the
COWS he had five nice calves.
When the farmer threshed he
had no large store bills to pay.
He did not owe the banker any
money, except for the COWS that
had supported him and his family
during the winter. A few COWS,
sheep and pigs will do wodners
in helping the farmer to keep
his land clean and hisbank ac-
count right. Neche Cronotype.

THIRTY YEARS IN
NORTH DAKOTA

Kindred Tribune: As the years
glide by and We turn back to
pages Of thirty years in the Da-
kotss what h,s,oly it reveals.
Thirty years ago we landed in
CLARK, s. D., to conduct a farm
for an Itlln,is party. We bach
ed; we underwent the pioneer ex
perlences; we came to North Da-
kota the same fall and have
since resie ed here. Tor sixteen
years we never returned to our
old home and when we did we
found the p,ssimists who had
tald us that we were foolish to
60 to the Dakotas.
For eight months in the year
billiards. ragged, the Indians would
get our scalp and we would be
writing home for money to re-
turn ON. We have seen the most
miraculous strides ever made in
the worlds history; we have
seen the same suckers sitting on
a dry goods box ard giving the
same advice that we received.
We know that the fellow who
stuck to Illinois and gave us
slch free ipformst;on is still work
ing .en' the section or picking
chi fkens while his more progress
siyk neightor is threshing a
thirty or forty bushel crop in
the, wind-swert wastes Of the
sDs kotas. We have the satisfac-
ton of seeing finer fruits grown
in 0 II kindred home than were
raised in Illinois. We raise more
garden vegetables ard fruits on
q htlf acre than Illinois can
Pre- duce on two and the quality
note that IiliL Lois is q back num-
Der in the production Of fine
stock and that our schools are a.
criterion fer the sucker state or
any other to follow.
We don't say this with feel
ing Of prejudice against our sis
ter states, but to jar some of
the cid grounches loose from the
root Of prejudice which they
has 9 clung to 50 long that the

farmers in that part Of the coun-
