Dickinson, N. D., Feb. 1e.-While
riding to town = rancnes out FROM
Oakdale found three letters laying on
the side. Of the road, farther on q
poeketbook was picked up and not far
from this the body Of woman was
found near the road. On examination
he found the body was frozen and was
Mrs. Ucella Brooks, whose home was
about three miles from there.
Mrs. Brooks was the mother Of W.
2. Brooks Of Manning and was hv.
ing on her claim out from oakdale.
by herself. The letters were ua-
stamped, and the belief. is that she
started to the James Fenton place.
where she usually left her man.
From the dates on the letters which
were Jan. "a the body must have been
on the road at least ten days before
found. Mrs. Brooks was dressed
warmly and the conclusion Is that she
must have become bewildered and got
lost because she was in the opposite
direction from the Fenton place when
found.
The body was brought to Dickinson
and was taken by Mr.. and Mrs, W. P.
Brooks to Minneapolis.
The deceased came here from Min
neapolis and fled on tho claim Just Z
short time ago and had her house and
other improvements in first class
order.

AT THE HEAD OF THE
GREAT LAKES.

Duluth, MINI, Feb. l5.-It begins
to look as If the elevators capacity at
the American Head Of tho Lakes
would be overtaxed before the op.
ening Of navigation, to take care Of all
the grain, domestic and bonded, that
will be sent here. The total Of all
grain in the elevators now is approx.
imately 2o,ooo,ooo bushels. Making
due allowance for wha. room is needed
for the separation Of different kinds
and grades Of grain, the elevators san
take care Of about 100000 bushels
more.

'. f T. : T. y --"r
Grain, bonded and domestic, has

makes an increase Of shout 175 ears .

at the American Head Of the Lakes.
This amounts to $3.50 cars in month
Allowing 1000 bushels Of grain to .

ing that the movements in and ont

bold highwayman could control here
yesterday when they began to break
away at the ends of the line, the
bandit commenced shooting.
After fatally wounding boy and
barely missing several men with his
bullets, the bandit fed with his in
tended victims at his heels. He was
almost lynched when .overtaken two
blocks away, and probably his life
was saved only by the arrival of the
police.
The attempted hold-up occurred at
Twenty-third and Penn streets, not
far from the new union station. Eight
men were standing on the corner
when the robber who told the officers
his name was P. R. Leeper, sauntercd
along.
GLANDS up, everybody" Leeper
commanded fourishing a revolver. All
obeyed an order to line up against the
side Of q building. Just then three
boys came around the corner.
Lines up Kids.
"Get in line here, Kids; don't fool
about it, shouted the bandit. As the
boys took their places, two men came
up, from the opposite direction. They,
too, were ordered into the line, with
hands up, as were others who came
upon the scene. Finally Leeper had
sixteen victims ranged along the wall.
OF came his hat and down the line
he started, with command for every.
body to "shell out all you got.'' Leep
er had passed part way down the
line and had collected so cents in his
hat. Then two or three men at the
other end jumped from the line; and
ran. Leeper whirled around, turning
his back to the men he had collected
from. They grasped the opportunity.
and broke away. In an instant the
line was wavering and ready to run.
Then the bandit commenced shooting.
Boy Is Shot; May Die.
A bullet passed through the lungs
Of Francis Fitzgerald, a 1e year .
boy. He probably will die. A. B..
Moon was grazed by a bullet that
passed through his trousers leg. One
man received bullet through his hat.
but was uninjured.
His revolver empty, Leeper started
to run. With shout the crowd fol-
lowed him. Two blocks away Leeper
dashed toward grocery store. As
he was entering 8. II. Whitcomb,
the proprietor, knocked the pistol from
his craps. Into the store the pursuing
crowd poored, and fell up tha

"Mob him., shouted several, as

Two policemen rescued Leeper from
his angry captors and took him to the

conservative; anyone making an in

to Mr.. Ed Zuidel, foreman and secre-
tary of the Copper Mountain Mining
company, and he also thinks your
prospectus extremely modest. He
told me that If any prospective buy

would see deposits, that by reading
our literature he could not dream Of.
"I think it would be a good plan
to encourage buyers to visit the prop

they could not fail to see the proba-
bilities; and, while I intend to make
my reports just as / see the existing
conditions I would rather have them
substantiated by the investors own
opinions.

Although this rock is the country
rock of diorite variety, we find lots

in shows an altogether different ap-
pearance than the surface shows and
very much more favorable"

picture of white hog. A lively dis

opinion seem to be that the picture
should be OF black hog, if possible
of the Berkshire which won the
sweepstakes at the show last year
The matter was left in the hands of
the committee with power to act.
An invitation was extended to resi-
dents of the Evansville neighbor-
hood to attend the meeting next Tues
day to discuss the question of the
best location for hitching racks for
the accommodation of farmers
Dr.. Evans called attention to the
Rural Life Conference which is to be
held at the college June 18-19-20,
and asked the assistance of the
Chamber in advertising the gather
ing. The secretary was instructed To
call the attention of other CONNER
cial organizations to the conference.
