FIRED TWO SHOTS
AT SHERIFF KFLLAND
Peterson a Chicago Gun Man a Bad
Actor When Rounded Up Late
Saturday at Midnight

Saturday night between eleven o'clock
and midnight Sheriff Kelland effected
the arrest of JAS. w. Peterson. who be
found proving around in a suspicious
manner in the alley at the rear of the
Prinyer residence on Spruce street.
Peterson, IN his attempt to escape arrest
fired two shots from a revolver, which
in addition 10 coming uucomfortably
close to hitting Sheriff Kelland. aroused
and alarmed the residents on that street.
A shot fired by Kelland. over the head
of the escaping Peterson brought him
to a halt and completed the somewhat
spectacular arrest, followed by his re-
tirement to the county Jail pending a
hearing on Monday. Brought before
Police Magistrate Aldrich upon a charge
of assault with a dangerous Weapon, the
defendant waived examination and in
default of a $1,000 bail bond was remand.
ed to the county Jail for trial at the
December term of court. Peterson, is a
young man, apparently under thirty
years old, was not intoxicated and ap-
parently perfectly sane. He was unable
to give any satisfactory explanation for
his suspicious behaviour or reason for
shooting at Sheriff Kelland. He claim
ed to have come TO Langdon on Satur-
days train, giving his home to be in
Chicago and stated that he expected to
meet three other parties here who were
going to Saskatchewan to invest in land,
The authorities, however are of the idea
that Peterson was in Langdon for no
good and has confedeartes in crime who
would have joined him here when he
had sized up the town. He is undoubt-
eddy a man with a criminal record and
in his arrest perhaps Langdon has es-
capped a visitation from a gang Of bank
robbers or safe blowers.

Notice to the Public

TO the People of Langdon and Vicinity:.
am sending to your town and vicinity
copies of all the material evidence in the
case OF State vs. Reilly. Attached To
these are petitions in which l am asking
for a new trial OF a pardon. An extract
from the Supreme Courts ruling, con.
tainsd therein, will show how, through
negligence of my attorney. I was eucher-
ed out OF any chance for an appeal
This evidence is copy of the court record
and it there is anything discriminating in
it, | will not ask signatures. l have
offered, through attorneys, to put up
bonds to Cavalier county for all costs
of new trial, and am willing to give
double the amount: to any one who will
find a single suspicious circumstance in
the entire transaction.
Sincerely,
JAMES J. REILLY.

North Dakota, and more particularly
in Cavalier county we have been enjoy
ing a continuance throughout the
month of November OF genuine Indian
summer weather. This itself gives the
people of the state something to be
thankful for on Thursday. November
9th, even should this fine spell not last
until next week. as we hope and expect
hat it may. The entire fall season has
been almost entirely free from storms
and bad weather and the feeling OF
thankfulness should find an even deeper
expression when we read the accounts
in the daily papers of the loss of life and
property of the past week, extending
from the Great Lakes to the west to the
coast line of Florida on the south ano
including the eastern states. Think il
over before you make up your mind tc
move away from the state, it matters
not whether your choice of location be
north, south, east or west. There is nc
better state as a whole to live IN than
North Dakota. People from this state
who have been away for some time ano
have come back realize this to be a fac
and are perfectly content to remain ir
North Dakota and make the state theil
permanent home.

PRODUCTS OF THE A R

One of the great advantages in trad
that such transactions are often in the
nature of an exchange. While the home
merchant sells goods to the farmers, be
takes from them their produce, eggs
butter. vegetables and poultry. Not
only that he takes this produce. wheth,
er or not he wants it. OF course the
reader of these lines makes good butter
or his family does, but there are those
among his neighbors who are not so
produce of the poor buttermaker as well
as that of the other, although he must
lose money on 1t in the selling. Now
that the parcels post has gone into
effect, there is offered one good way by
which the country purchaser may test
the interest of the mail order man whom
he has patronized. The producer may
now send eggs to the city by parcels
post. There is a device patented which

parcels post admit of the transportation
of eggs, butter and poultry. 1t wonld
be we'll to try if mail order houses will
accept some produce in exchange for
goods. We have never heard of such
deals being made but it is certainly a
fair proposition. 1t will give the country
buyer a clear idea of the relative value.

RUINED THE PAINTING.
Curious Fate Of Burne-Jones' Favorite
Water Color.

Curious Fate Of Burne-Jones' Favorite
Water Color.
A very curious history is that Of
Burne-Jones' favorite picture. Love
Among the Ruins" The original pic
ture was in water color and was sent
to Paris by a firm Of art publishers for
reproduction and in that city forward
ed to their Photographic studios in the
suburbs. The picture unhappily pre-
| coded the letter Of instructions regard
ing it warming the photographer Of the
medium in which it was painted, so
that Immediately on its arrival it was
brushed over with white Of egg to
bring out the colors for photographing
I'm excellent procedure in the cas- Of
oil pictures. harmless and very efica-
cious.
But. as to the Burne-Jones picture.
Love was very Don among his own
ruins. for every swish Of the brush
brought off the final touches and left a
mere smeared ground. Sir Edward
Rurne-JoncS was ~heartbroken at the
loss Of a work on which his reputation.
he considered. would in great measure
rest and on which he had spent many
months of patient toll and the very
perfection of his execution in the reali-
cation Of II of the most poetic con
ceptions that had sprung from his fan
ciful Imagination.
Love Among the Ruins" was paint
ed during the Years 1908. In October.
1893. it was destroyed. and by the fol
lowing year the oil version was fin
ished. but was scarcely a consolation
to the artist for the loss of his first
and more spontaneous work.
