correct but his warning came too late

floor. Conrad was soon, overcome.
Mann gave an alarm and a physician

Fosse was beyond hope by this time
and died within ten minutes after

He has recited the details to the
authorities as nearly as he can recall
them but the shock is so great he
can not yet give a coherent account
Of what happened.
Posse, the dead man, was one of
the we'll known young men Of the
town having been a barber for the
past two years. Conrad, whose life is

pies circles and has worked in the
Dakota drugstore for over a year.

INSANITY CASE

William Murray. N. Davis and DR.. J.
dismissed the case against p. Sand
wick, the Max farmer, who was taken
into custody the day before. 1t de-
veloped at the hearing that there was
no, ground on which to substantiate'
the charge that Sandwich. was insane.
The whole affair proved to be nothing
more or less than a neighborhood
quarrel. Mr. Smith, also a farmer
near Max, went to SANDWICHES place, a
mile distant from his own farm, last
Sunday morning and accused Sand
wick of being the owner of a number
Of cats that were in the habit of COM
ing over to the Smith place and kill
Sandwich to pay for the chickens kill
ed. This Sandwich refused to do, and
Smith returned home somewhat en-
ragged. Later in the day Sandwich
went to Smiths farm and asked
Smiths hired man to come over with
a gun and kill the cats. The hired
man did as requested, only he was
unsuccessful in killing the cats. While
attempting to draw a bead on the cats
with the gun he was frightened by
SANDWICHES cattle and in his hurry TO
get out of an enclosure had his cloth
ing torn on fence and was somewhat
bruised. The hired mar returned to
Smiths place and informed Smith
that Sandwich had torn his clothing
and caused the bruises. This led to
the swearing out of the warrant for
the arrest of Sandwich on the grounds
Of insanity. The hired mar maintain
ed before. the insanity board that
Sandwich was responsible forrthe acts
of his cattle and his testimony was
somewhat of a humorous order. %.

Stone, it appears, was walking be-
side the machine, which was being
towed across the field behind "a trac-
ton engine. 1t is believed that he
was adjusting n of the belts in Or
der that work might begin more
quickly, and that he stumbled, falling
directly in the path of the rear wheels
of the machiAe. ..- .
The wheels passed over the entire
length of his body and head, mang-
ling him horribly. Death must have
been instantaneous.
The body was found a few moments
later by other members of the thresh-
ing crew. DR.. F. E. Murphy, county
coroner vas notified, and Walter
Stone, a son of the deceased, was
summoned from a farm a short dis
lance away where he vas working.
DR.. Murphy held an inquest at the
scene of the accident and exonerated
A. L.. Richardson, engineer, and Dan
Wuebper, fireman, of the traction en-
me from all blame in the matter.
Both declared that they had not
known that Stone was near the ma

and their selections added much to
the pleasure of the occasion.
After the programme was complet-
ed, President Worst of the %agricul-
tural college, VINO was present, was
invited for a few remarks and he ac-
quilted himself in his usual excellent
name $780, "..E
Warden Talcott, who never fails to
do the right thing at the right time,
also made a short address and, to the
surprise of the audience, introduced
Governor Hanna, whom 1t was not
generally known was present MI.
Hanna responded in a cheerful man
ner n was greeted with applause
from the audience. e..
In the audience were Editor and
Mrs. George Smith Of The Plaza Pho
neer, and Mr.. and Mrs. E. NJ. Poole
of Stee lie, who were 2 clal guests Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley.
There is one feature about his en-
tertainment which might be overlook
ed by some, and which Is worthy Of
mention, and that is the thoughtful
ness of Bob and Eva Mckinley. 1t
is the fact thai this estimable couple
have a consideration for others than
themselves. They realized while in
this city on this trip that there were
scores Of unfortunate fellow beings
in the prison who could not come to
see them, hence the thought that
they might go Inc see the prisoners.
The proposition was put to Warden
Talcott and he Immediately accepted
their offer. and made arrangements
for the entertainment. The boys ap-
preciated the big-heartedness Of their
friends and cannot say enough for
his couple, who so graciously remem-
bered them.
The whole occasion was one of
pleasure and provided as much salts
faction to those who made it possible,
as to the men for whom it was given.

CHILDREN. MUST
GO To School

Mandan. N. D., Sept. 5.-The law
regarding compulsory school attend
ance is to be enforced in North Dako-
ia more rigidly in the future. It is
imperative for the school officials to
do so in order to secure state aid. Elk
cept in a few isolated instances the
compulsory school law has been ig-
nored. Some county superintendent
never made any effort to invoke it.
Now at least 80 per cen of the school
children of the district must attend
in order to secure assistance from the
state. This has to be sworn to by the
proper officials. The only excuses that
will be accepted is extreme poverty
and restitution of the parents, having
completed the courses of study, phys
ical or mental incapacity, lack Of
transportation facilities beyond the
two and a half mile limit.

FAMILY ROW IS
TAKEN TO COURT

Devils Lake, N. D.. Sept. 5.-The
Smith domestic case, in which the
wife and daughter are charged by d.
l.. Smith and a which he al
leges is his sister, is being heard by
Judge Conant. Evidence of a charac-
ter was offered which resulted in
the doors being locked.
The case centers around a family
alteration on Kelley avenue which
occurred the first of the week..
Whether the woman in question,
whom Smith asserts is his sister, is
that relation, is one of the questions
which Judge Conant may have to pass
upon. The fact that the woman came
to Devils Lake in disguise is a feature
which adds mystery to the affair
which may require the efforts of a
Sherlock Holmes to solve. r.
