lightning. KILLS A
. STUTSmAh co. FARMER
MEETS DEATH FROM ELECTRIC
FLUID ON LOAD OF HAY.

About seven o'clock Friday even
ing during a light shower Of rain,
John W. Isenberger. Jr., residing
about three miles southeast Of the
city, was struck by lightning while
riding home on load Of hay. He
and his father, J.. w. Isenberger, sr.,
were in the field gathering hay, and
each started home on load, the
younger man being ahead. His faith
er noticed the flash of lightning and
saw that the sons wagon had been
struck by the bolt. The young man
was only about twenty rods ahead.
The lightning set the hay on fire and
the team ran away, cverturning the
wagon, and the hay, which covered
up the victim and was burning when
his father arrived to render assis-
tance.
{ Mr.. Isenberger, sr., with great diff
ficulty tore away the hay and found
the body Of his son who was dead,
having been killed instantly by the
bolt. There was a broad burned spot
on the top of the head, where the
bolt appeared to have passed down
the back Of the neck and split at the
shoulders, passing through each arm
and making a double twist on each
arm. The body also from the waist
down was badly burned, both by the
hay and the lightning. The horses
were not hurt, but the load of hay
was mostly consumed.
DR.. DePuy was called but it was
too late for any assistance to be rem
dered. The remains were brought
to Flint's undertaking rooms and
prepared for shipment to Lanark,
Illinois, to which place they were
sent Saturday. Mr.. Isenberger was q
member Of the family who removed
from Illinois, about four years ago.
He leaves a wife and a boy about nine
years Of age, besides his father and
two brothers living ~ that vicinity:
Mrs. 1senberger, the wife Of the
deceased, is prostrated at the news Of
her husbands death, and for time
it was feared that she would lose her
reason entirely. Her sister, Mrs.
Walter Dixon Of Pearl City, Illinois,
had arrived but Friday for q visit
with the family of. the deceased. A
brother resides at Henry, Illinois.
and also one at Harvey. Illinois.

MANY ARRESTS
MADE IN httNoT
Delegates From Minneapolis to Help
Members of I. w. w. in Jail.

S Minot, Aug, 1.-THE arrest of
over 100 members Of the I. w. w.
occurred today, including some prom
inent Socialists, among them Dewey
Dorman of the city commission and
former Mayor Lesuer, and the owner
Of Socialist weekly newspaper.
They refused bail and went to Jail
with the rest.
" The leading speaker, Jack Law,
was arrested last night when he at
tempted to start a speech. The first
arrest was made Saturday night
when man was pulled for resisting
AN officer. He is a prominent Social
lot, got out on bail, and was arrested
EEAgain last night. &,.s
The police arrested thirty satur~
day night. A squad went to a camp
near town yesterday and arrested
thirty more. All gave their names
as I. w. w.
An immense crowd gathered last
night, but no speeches we're made.
Many special police were sworn in
and arrests were made in rapid sue
cession. The crowd cheered and
jeered and surged around the ofiic-
ers when the arrests were made.
The prisoners are boistrous today and
are singing and shouting.
Disturbances have been brewing in
Minot for two weeks, and speakers
advocating Anarchistic doctrines
have been speaking on the street cor
ners and stirring up the prejudices
of men. Last night five more were
arrested on charges of minor dis
turbances, but no more serious riot
ing has occurred, although many are
looking for further excitement.
Prisoners in the city Jail will be Civ
en- hearing Wednesday morning.
A dispatch from Minneapolis says
that Is members of the I. w. w.
have gone to Minot to help defend
the members charged with creating
disturbances and rioting by the city
authorities.
The local trouble has grown out OF
the attempts of the I. w. w leaders
to prevent men from going to the
harvest fields for the wages which
are offered.
The agitators have also influenced
many of the men engaged in the paw
ing work and sewer building to quit
work and to swell the ranks Of the
unemployed.
Farmers are offering So a day for
work in the fields, but the I. w. w.
agitators demand from $3.50 to -
and are trying to hold their forces
together to compel the farmers to as
sent to their terms.

dam AT ARRONNOoD
and jim LAKES
PROJECT TO MAKE FISH HATCH
ERY AND PLEASURE RESORT
ON JAMES RIVER,


tor boats now operate successfully on
the lake, but the weeds in some plac-
es give trouble.
Arrowwood lake grows in popular
ity each season. Scores Of people
now take extended camping trips to
its shores. It is close to Kensal, ts
21 miles from Darlington, and more
easily available to the people of Mel
Vile and Bordulac. :. Much of it's
shore is wooded and there are sew
eral good bathing beaches.
BY the above item from Car
rington newspaper it is seen that, q
project has been suggested to resi-
dents of other localities that has
been considered by parties in James
town.
It is entirely feasible to construct
dam either at the, foot of Arrow.
wood lake or at the foot of Jim lake.
DR.. r. G. DePuy Of Jamestown, who
is familiar with the conditions, states
that dam Is feet long could be
built, inexpensively, at the foot Of
Jim lake, which would raise the
water five feet in that lake; and of
course with a greater expenditure q
higher dam, would held more water
in the lake.
Arrowwood lake is six miles long
and Jim lake four miles long, and
there is a strip of pasture land be-
tween the two lakes three miles in
length. The Jim river flows through
the two lakes and. this connecting
strip OF land, and is crossed by q
bridge. The two lakes are natural
expansions Of the river. They al
ways contain fresh water, and If a
dam at the foot Of Ji mlake of suf-
hcient size were constructed, water
could be controlled sufficiently to
make a continuous lake of about
thirteen miles in length.
This would make an ideal fish
hatchery. There are perfect condi-
tions in these lakes for the growing
of bass, and many varieties Of fine
food fish. The location Is central
and easy of access, and it has been
suggested that the state fish and
game commission should take this
matter up and include these lakes,
with their many natural advantages
for fish culture, in the work already
being done in that line in the ex-
treme northern part of the state, in
the Turtle Mountain region.
North Dakota has few lakes and
places Of resort. The shores of Ar
|rowwood and Jim lakes would make
ideal grounds for pleasure resort Of
this description.
Up to the present time there has
been no shooting on either OF the
lakes, and there are thousands OF
ducks being raised there under the
protection of the Law. But it is re-
ported that illegal seining of the ma
tive fish that already exist in the lake
In great abundance. has been going
on at night, and that hundreds of
pounds of pike, pickerel and perch
have been taken from the lake by
poachers. A good many fish have
also been caught by hook and line.
With the protection Of the fish and

ROMANCE OF YOUNG WOMAN
She Was Worth Money, But Went on
the STAGE to Write a Book.

Last January a very pretty young
woman applied for position with
The Joseph and His Brethren com
pany, then running at the Century
theater, New York, and was made
enc of the 300 "supers" in that big
production At rehearsal she show
ed unusual intelligence, was made
understudy for enc of the minor rol-
es, had an opportunity to play the
part, and did so well that she was
retained in it for the lasS three
months of the New York engage
ment Then came the time to dis
band fer the summer, and the stage
manager offered to re-engage her at
an advanced salary for the coming
season. She begged off, declaring
that she had just come INFO con
siderable sum of money, that she no
longer had to work for Il living, and
much as she liked the stage did not
feel justified in taking work from an
other member of a very much over
crowded profession.
This summer representative of
the management of Joseph and His
Brethren" met the young actress on
her big and beautiful estate on the
north shore of Long Island sound.
He found that she had told white
lie in declaring that she had Just"
come into some money, for she had
been born wealthy. She was a young
millionairess with penchant for
writing articles on disagreeable sub
jects for the magazines. She had
sought work in the theatre with the
object OF gathering material for an
article on the supposed iniquities of
stage life. in a way she was disap-

Brophy had a fight last evening
