The liking for decoration. seen in all

Of color that would formerly have been

THIS HORSE IS
TWENTY SIX
LOCAL MAN HAS HORSE WELL
ADVANCED AS HORSES GO
WORKS DAILY

Some time ago there appeared in
the Graphic news item about a horse
belonging to a man in the country
which had just ended his usefulness
by passing in his checks" at the
tender age of "a years. The state
ment was made that it was rather re-
markable for an ordinary work horse
to reach this age.
We now have horse called to our
attention which goes the deceased con-
siderably better from a standpoint of
age and service. The animal belongs
to J. S. Penson, of this city, and he
is 26 years old. Mr.. Penson informs
US that he works the horse almost
every day, and when he takes the har-
ness off at night he is as lively as a
real youngster. To say the least this
is a good record, and is doubtless due
to good care of the animal on the part
of the owner. We do not know, as we
have not been authoritively informed,
but we surmise that the venerable
steed does not drink, chew or smoke.

HELD ON THE
SECOND CHARGE
CLEVE CULBERTSON is GIVEN
HEARING ON CHARGE OF.
NUMBERING DILLON

Cleve NJ. Culbertson was given
hearing Monday afternoon, before
Justice Field, on charge of murder
ing D. T. Dillon, and was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff to await
the action of the court.
The hearing a couple Of weeks ago
was on the charge of numbering Mrs.
Dillon and her daughter, Leila Marsh.
When Dillon died last week second
complaint was filed by the state.
The hearing was held in the sheriffs
office Aside from the sheriff and his
deputies only three or four persons
were present. The prisoner stead
fastly refused to talk, except to an
swer one or two trivial questions.
When he was brought in before the
hearing started States Attorney, Bur-
dick said:-"Well, Cleve, how are
things coming?" He replied in a
rather low voice:-"Oh, pretty good"
Culbertson was asked one or two 9TH
er questions but he sat without say
ing word. The prisoner appears to
be standing the confinement we'll, and
has apparently taken on a little
weight during the last couple of
weeks.
The hearing only lasted few min
utes. No witnesses were introduced.
C. A. M Spencer, attorney for the
prisoner, appeared and waived exam
ination.

NEW PASSENGER
RATES EFFECTIVE
GREAT NORTHERN MAKES RE-
DUCTION TO TWIN CITIES AND
INTERSTATE POINTS

The Great Northern Railroad put
new passenger tariff rates into effect
on November l, which will be very ac-
ceptable to the travelling public. The
new rates effect only interstate bust
ness, and will prove quite saving
to those who cover long distances.
The schedule now in use calls for
$13.75 from Williston to the Twin
Cities, as against $1,000 under the old
rate, or saving of 1925 on the trip
each way. Proportionate rates will be
granted to other interstate points:
Along with the new rates a few
changes in train schedules were made.
One Of the changes is on train No. 8,
which formerly reached here at 5:45.
This train is now due here at 5:07 p.
m. The local going east now leaves
at 1880 instead of A. M. as formerly.

MURDERER CAME
FROM CANADA
MAN WHO KILLED DILLON FAM
lily CAME FROM CANADA
EVIDENCE FOUND

The following story appearing in
the Wildrose Plainsman gives some
more information on the Dillon MUIR
der mystery
Axel Strom, who was officially as
signed the job back-tracking Culbert-
son, the murder of DR.. Dillon and
family, past through here Saturday,
northward, returning Monday noon,
having thoroughly investigated every
clue along the trail.
The deputy finds that Culbertson
spent considerable time during the
summer around Seguske, Canada, re-
Gently visiting Plentywood and prob
ably walking the greater part Of the
way from there to Crosby.
From Crosby, he started south, rid
ing with different farmers, arriving
at Otto Peterson's Saturday evening,
where he was furnished bed and meals.
Sunday he walked to Robt. Zelmer's
place, putting up for the night, and
attending a party in company with
Robert, Sunday evening. He made ar
rangements to spend two weeks with
his sister at White Earth. He rode to
Wildrose with Robert, Monday and i'm
mediately left for the south stopping
over night with Ole Salveson, and in
fact shared his bed with him. Tues
day morning he left the Salveson farm
and talked with several farmers,
among whom were c. A. Peterson and
Arne Krogh, finally riding with Fritz
Alberg, taking dinner with Ole Am
undsen. Mr.. and Mrs. Drake ard
Perdue's people in turn met and con-
versed with him.
At different places after leaving
Crosby he exhibited an automatic re-
volver, carrying 80 caliber Colt W..
r. A. cartridge and at one place fired
six shots at a stray dog. Deputy
Strom secured these and will make
comparisons with those cartridges
found in the Dillon yard.

GOING UP!

The assistant editor of the Graphic
for the past thirteen months with this
issue completes his services upon the
paper, and, on or about, Saturday,
November 9Th, will depart for other
fields to take up the burden of man.
aging a paper in larger city. The
change comes about rather suddenly,
due to the fact that larger possibili-
ties have presented themselves equal
lv as sudden. The new location will
be with the Herald, at Frement, Ne
braska.
The stay in Williston has been an
enjoyable one. Coming here little
over a year ago total stranger. the
friendly manner in which we have
been received by the people has i'm.
pressed itself upon our mind, and will
remain a pleasant memory indeed.
All of this has helped immensely in
the labors here, although rather
strenuous at times, nevertheless pleas
ant. We have done very we'll in Will
liston. We bought one ticket to come
here and will buy two going away.
The business relations with the own
er and publisher of the paper have
been most pleasant and we have tried
to merit the confidence placed in our
ability by the proprietor. For the Of
flee force we have high regard.
Their cooperation has been a large
part to any success attained in making
the Graphic good paper during the
past year.
Should any Williston people get
within hailing distance of the new To-
cation they will be gladly received,
and we will attempt to make it as
pleasant for them as it has been made
in Williston for the assistant editor
and wife.

MUCH PLEASED WITH JAMES
MEMORIAL LIBRARY

Mrs. NJ. C. Budlong, secretary Of
the State Library Commission, spent
a few hours in Williston Sunday, COM
ing here from the State Library Con-
vention at Minot in order to see the
Williston library and get some idea
Of its work. She expressed her great
complete equipment, comparing it
very favorably with libraries in larg-
er places, and hoping that the COM
munity appreciated the blessings it
enjoyed in 50 unusually complete a
gift. The city of Williston has been
generous in financial support Of her
library, setting an example to some
of the eastern cities of the states IN
that regard, but we can make much
larger demands upon the hbrary's
real resources without exhausting
them.

CONSERVATION
OF HUMAN LIFE
PAPER READ BY DR..
MacMANUS READ BEFORE
SCHOOL OFFICIALS s

When I received your Superinten-
dents challenge, or rather invitation,
to discuss the subject, The Conserva-
ton of Human Life, I fully realized
that, should l accept, I should soon be
steering my literary craft into deep
and dangerous waters, fouled by the
hulks of old theories and the snags
of unproven statements, for l was
thoroughly convinced in the beginning
that l could not follow the charted
course in this discussion, but most
necessarily drift into less frequented
channels-into lines hitherto consid-
cred almost too sacred for public ex-
preston. Having some misgivings as to
the ultimate effect of such an excur-
sion, I was seriously debating with
myself as to whether I should decline
the honor when, Ibethought myself ;
what if this should be the last time
l should ever have of airing a few
personal thoughts and opinions? l
therefore resolved to make the trial
despite the various and numerous diff
ficulties.
A paper of this nature is supposed
to deal with he hygiene of the person
and surroundings of the individual; /;
but, in this, you are going to be dis
appointed. Those subjects have been
threshed out since time immemorial
and I am not going to waste your time
in rehashing it. Heating, lighting,
ventilating, and sanitary surveying
are all right in their way and place,
but in this paper, shall endeavor to

Halloween passed off quietly in Will

Little damage was done, but few
