frozen to Death
On the Prairie

Dickinson, N. D., Feb. 19.-While
riding to town a rancher out from
Oakdale found three letters laying on
the side Of the road, further on a
pocketbook was picked up and not far
from this the body of woman was
found near the road. On examination
he found the body frozen and was
Mrs. 'Ucelia Brooks, whose home was
about three miles from there.
Mrs. Brooks was the mother of w.
P. Brooks of Manning and was liv.
ing on her claim out from Oakdale.
by herself The letters were un-
stamped and the belief is that she
started to the James Fenton place
where she usually left her mail.
From the dates on the letters which
were Jan. "a, the body must have been
on the road at least ten days before
found. Mrs. Brooks was dressed
warmly and the conclusion is that she
must have become bewildered and got
lost because she was in the opposite
direction from the Fenton place when
found.
The body was brought to Dickinson
and was taken by Mr.. and Mrs. w. p.
Brooks to Minneapolis.
The deceased came here from Min
neapolis and filed on this claim just
short time ago and had her house and
other improvements in first-class
order.

EFFORT TO GUARD
HEALTH OF PUPILS
Teachers in County Schools
Doing Duty, Says the
Health Inspector.

Wayne county schools are sanitary
and the teachers are making every eff
fort to conserve the health of their
pupils, according to DR. J. E, King,
county health officer, who has just An
ished a tour of inspection of the coun-
try schools.
Il found very few conditions during
my inspection which were unhealth-
full" said DR.. King. "At one school a
farmer had been bringing his stock
down to the school yard and watering
them at the pump there, and in this
school the flies were thicker than any
other that | saw. | instructed the
trustee to compromise with the farm
er and tell him that during vacation
he might use the pump, but during
the school term it would not be al
lowed"
The teachers are willing to cooper
ate with the state board in its efforts
to better the health of the school chill
dren. The only reason that some of
the teachers do not use every precau-
ton is because they are ignorant of
the laws of the state concerning such
matters, said the doctor.

Organization of an amateur tourna-

that all scores made at the local
grounds will be recognized The board

meet some time next year The pur-
pose of the county meet will be to
Ipund the local shooters into form for
