TEMVIK. NORTH DAKOTA
An Emmon's County Pioneer.

Peter c. Levin. one of the pioneers of
Emmons county, has been among the.
visitors at Bismarck during the opening
week of the industrial exposition, says
the Tribune, and while here said he
could not help but marvel at the rate at
which Bismarck was progressing as a
commercial center. and also the substan-
tial manner in which the city was grow
ing.
Mr.. Levin came to Bisma rex in 1881.
at which time there were number Of
big buildings along Main street. one of.
which was located where now stands
the First National Bank building. While
he was born in Sweden, he came here
from Canada. having helped build the
c. P. r. as far as the Saskatchewan
river.
He decided to engage in farming after
coming here, and located in Emmons
county, two miles south of the village of
Kintyre, where he owns 100 acres of
land, and where he has harvested thirty
crops.
Mr.. Levin said he had poor land to
| commence with, but he made it good
land by hard work and thorough farm
ing, and had harvested his thirtieth crop.
/ The year 1912 he thrashed more than
$4,000 bushels of high-sradc grain, and
this year, when the crop was light all
over the northwest. he thrashed 1G, 900
bushels from the same land.
| He said that when he commenced in
Emmons county he had 100 acres of
land, but, after he bought steam-plow
outfit, he found he did not have room
enough to turn round with the rig and he
has been gradually adding to his pos
sessions ever since until now he has
more than 1900 acres of his farm under
cultivation and has used steam blowing
rigs for more than seven years. !,
He is also extensively engaged in
stock-raising, and has sold hundreds of
head of blooded and dairy stock. While
he is now in comfortable circumstances
he does not propose to retire from his
farm, but. on the other hand, he says he
enjoys staying in the community where
he has lived so many years.
| While at Bisma rex he was the guest
of John !. Roop, another pioneer of En-
mons county, who was neighbor of
MIR. Levin for many years, the postoffice
for fifteen years being located on the
Roop farm, where MIR. Levin says he re.
ceived his mail.

STATEMENT
Receipts and Disbursements by the

DYNAMITERS AFTER
MAYOR GAYNOR
Five Sticks of Explosives Found
Under His Window.
Observation-Disclosures
Discovery Was Made BY Citizen
Passing Through New
Yorks City Hall
Park.

New York-A deadly charge Of
dynamite-three whole 10-inch sticks
and two halves with fuse and detona-
tor-was discovered near Mayor Gay
nors office windows in the City Hall.
The bureau of combustibles found that
the explosive was 40 per cent. dyna-
mite. the regulation blasting proper
ton. and the amount found would, if
exploded, have wrecked the City Hall.
The Mayor was in his office when
the dynamite was discovered by citi-
zen passing through City Hall Park.
Mr.. Gaynor evinced little interest when
told of the explosives proximity, and
remained apparently undisturbed at
his desk While police officers hurriedly
drew a Gordon about the dynamite to
keep back an excited crowd.
Mr. Gaynor frequently receives
threatening letters, but he would make
no statement regarding the possible
threat by mail and the dynamite. 1t
is just three years ago this month that
he was shot in the neck by a so-called
crank, and so badly wounded that for
several days it was feared he would
die
The investigators do not attach
much Importance to the finding of half
burned matches and partly consumed
cigar near the explosive. Hundreds of
smokers pass the areaWay during the
noon hour and some of them occa-
sonally throw dead matches and cigar
butts there
The police authorities say that la
borers sometimes carelessly drop
dynamite sticks near their blasting
operations. There is an excavation
shaft on the Broadway side of City
Hall Park. leading to the new subway
construction. Detectives are making
close investigation of this location,
although the contractors declare that
they do not use 40 per cent. dynamite
in their operations.
