LAND IS RESTORED
TO PUBLIC DOMAIN

Portland, Ore, March 19.-The Gull
mlnation Of more protracted litiga-
ton involving 10000 acres of timber
land, said to have been purchased in
nocently from the California & Ore
Son railroad company with the idea
that the corporation could give title
to the land, came today in the United
states district court when Judge VOL
Nerton signed 125 DEGREES restoring
the government. This was in ac-
cord with decisions handed down sew
eral weeks ago and concludes all of
the so-callod innocent purchas ser"
cases IN which testimony has been
taken.
The most important of the DEGREES
concerns a tract of about 10000 acres
purchased from the railroad
ana now claimed by the Booth-Kelley
Lumber company of Eugene. Ore. the
land Wing about % miles southeast
or that city. Acting under their
rights as owners of the
lahd' the Booth-Kelley company has
cut a larG" part Of the timber.
The effect of the decision is that
innocent purchasers may now acquire
by paving the government $3.50 per
acre.

RAIN IN JAMES RIVER VALLEY.


There was a heavy rain Tuesday
night at this place, the rain coming
from both east and west and appar-
emily meeting in this locality. The
rain is reported at the N. P. head
quarters as heavy from Brinsmade
to Oakes, from Oberon to Esmond,
from Darlington to Sykeston, from
Pingree to Pettibone, and from
jamestown to Windsor.
Tuesdays rain was lighter to-
wards Eckelson and trainmen re-
port that strip between Eckelson
and Buffalo got little or no rain.
East of Buffalo and through Min
nesota there was a good rain Tues
day night. Rain was heavier north
of jamestown and south also than
in this immediate locality, although
.63 of an inch Of rain is reported at
the state hospital rain gauge. There
was light rain at Medina.
The rain will do an immense
amount of good, as the crops were
beginning to show the need of mois-
ture. There was some hail at Bu-
chanan in the afternoon, the strip
extending not over two miles in
width. The stones were large, how
ever, and there was some rain ac-
companying the storm.

in the above named order, the line
forming long stripes of color. They
carried canes with red, white and

Mandan contingent.

The jamestown Elks never looked
better, and they turned out we'll for
the occasion. There were some OF
the oldest members of the lodge as
we'll as the younger ones marching
to the music of the First Regiment
band. The boys were attired in
white suits, white shoes, white caps
with purple bands, and carried pur-
pie and white parasols, and received
due recognition for their natty ap-
pearance. Several stunts with the

The Big Parade

At $3.50 a. m. the Elks parade
started at the north end of Fifth
avenue, at the entrance to Nickeus
park. 1t is safe to say that no finer
appearing lot, of men ever appeared
- the streets of Jamestown in pa
+, of any kind, than were seen in
the procession that marched today.
1t was an inspiring and attractive
sight to glance down the street for
over mile in length and see the
boys clad in white shirts, white trous-
ers, white caps or hats, carrying
white and purple parasols, and
swinging the natty Elk cane with it's
bunch of Elk colors.
The sidewalks were packed with
spectators. and it was the largest
crowd ever assembled in Jamestown
to witness any similar event. At
the intersection of the side streets
along the line of march were rows
of autos filled with spectators, and
there was one mass of humanity
from the start of the big parade. to
its finish. There was frequent ap-
plause as each lodge with some Diff
ferent attraction passed in review.
Couriers of the parade were H.
G. Proctor on white charger and
G. w. Kurtz riding calico circus
pony, carrying red, white and blue
parasol, the latter in charge of the
formation of the parade. The first
lodge in line was the Fargo No. 260,
preceded by Putnam's band. The
lodge was we'll represented and the
marchers had attractive white suits
and straw hats embellished with
Elks colors. A comically bedizened
Lena" led No. 260.

The program of the closing day of
the Elks third annual convention
was carried out as arranged, with the
big parade in the morning as the
leading feature. The picnic in the
country, at the Wells farm on the
James river, closed the program.
The attendance has been large, and
all agreed that the Jamestown
Elks as hosts for the visitors have
done all shat was expected. The
parade is said to have been equal to
any ever given in the state.

children in the A. H. Wilcox family,

AS the family travelling in an i'm

the train wouldn't pull of the track
and down the street SO they could

TRIPLE TRAGEDY
At SANBORN
WOMAN AND TWO YOUNG CHILL
DREN KILLED BY TRAIN
No. 1.

Saturday night at o'clock occur
red a terrible accident at Sanborn
in which a lady and two children
were instantly killed in being struck
while crossing the N. P. tracks by
the engine of train No. 1. No. 1
does not stop at Sanborn, but goes
through the town at high rate of
speed.
Those killed were Miss Florence
Noecker and her two nieces, Rose
Luessen, aged z, and Fern May An
derson, aged 6. The former little
girl lived at Valley City with her
parents, and the Anderson child liv-
ed at Wimbledon or near that town.
Both children were instantly killed
and Miss Noecker lived a few mo-
ments, but was dead when found.
All three bodies were terribly man
gled and the buggy in which they
were driving was smashed to kin
ding wood. The horse, however,
escaped unhurt.
No. 8, east bound, was coming
slowly down the passing track, wait
ing for No. 1 to go by, and it is said
that Miss Noecker was watching No.
8 as it was coming and did not see
or hear No. /, whose passage through
the town from her point of view at
the time, it is said, was partly shut
off by the depot building and plat
form. The funeral of Miss Noecker
occurred Sunday afternoon at San
born and was attended by large
congregation. Her father, Lee
Noecker, is we'll known in Barnes
county, living near Sanborn and one
of the old time residents of the
county.
The remains of the two children
were taken to their homes at Valley
City and Wimbledon, where the fu-
nerals and burials will occur. No.
was on time. The cowcatcher and
engine showed evidence of the terri
BILE accident in the marks of blood
and the contact with the wagon. The
engineer was VIM. Sturman, who felt
terribly over the accident.
The little girls were on their
school vacation and were visiting at
the home of their aunt at the time,
and had driven to Sanborn to do
some shopping. The three were in
top buggy and we're driving south
across the N. P. tracks. The engi-
neer applied the emergency brake as
soon as he saw the buggy, but it was
too late to bring the train to a stop.
The body of Miss Noecker was
dragged some distance and all the
bodies were badly mutilated. Iden-
tification of the children was made
by the clothing they wore. VIM.
Anderson, father of one of the chill
dren, was in Bismarck at the time.
Miss Noecker was sister of Mrs.
Anderson. The community was ter
ribly shocked by the dreadful affair.

LOCAL CREAMERY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
LIGHTNING STRUCK BUILDING
DURING THUNDER STORM.
OTHER PROPERTY SAVED.

OuIluS the SLOrm OF lueSQdy
night, about 10 o'clock, lightning
struck the Jamestown creamery and
set fire to the structure. The shock
was felt by residents of the immedi-
ate neighborhood, and soon the
bright blaze of the burning building
was seen, the fire starting from the
middle of the roof. The fire alarm
was sounded, the city firemen turn
ed out, and by their efforts saved
considerable surrounding property
The barn of J. T. Nowlin, north of
the creamery was in great danger at
one time, but water from the city
hose protected the structure. The
creamery building itself is "a total
wreck, the smoke stack at the boiler
room alone remaining. The two
smaller buildings east, known as the
cold storage building and ice house,
were not burned.
The interior of the burned build
ing is a mass of twisted iron pipe
and burned and blackened machin-
cry, the walls having fallen in dur
ing the fire.
At the same time the creamery
was struck, lightning hit the electric
light company's cable, and for a space
of a moment or two street lights
and lights in other portions of the
city were extinguished, but were
soon restored. A large crowd gath
cred at the scene of the fire, and a
number from the Methodist camp
meeting were there, the camp meet
ing shaving just closed for the even
Ing.
]. B. Stoddard who lives with his
family close to the creamery, feared
at one time that the blaze would set
fire to the house, but there was no
damage done. G. E. McElroy is the
,owssgr Of the creamery property,
which was leased few months ago
to Beyers & Maxon, two young men
from Iowa, who were building up an
excellent business and had largely
increased the number of patrons of
the creamery in the short time they
had been in charge. Their loss will
be considerable. The building and
contents were insured to the extent
of $4,000.
With the loss of the old James
town creamery there is now a fine
opening in this city for new, mod
ern creamery. If the cream that
goes through the city from the North
ern branches of the N. P. alone,
could be had for jamestown cream
cry, instead of being shipped through
to Minnesota creameries, the guam
tity would be enough for the opera
ton of one first class plant in this
city. There is no better location in
the state for a central creamery
plant than in Jamestown, and it is
hoped that some enterprising person
or persons will take advantage of the
fact and erect a modern building for
that purpose.
The losses on the creamery will
be considerable outside the insur-
ance. Messrs. Beyers & Maxon had
supplies and other property which
will involve loss of about 5000,
and fortunately had Tuesday ship
ped out a large consignment of but
ter, thus saving that much. G. D..
McElroy, the owner of the building,
states he will probably rebuild in the
