FRAZIER'S HOUSE
WAS RAIDED BY
SHERIFF FULLER
AFTER ORDER FROM COURT
More Than Half Barrel of
WhiskGy Seized

In accordance with an order issued
by Judge O. A. Littlejohn of the SUI
perior court, Sheriff Q. w. Fuller yes
terday raided the store of H. D. Fraz.
Ter, in West Americus and found more
than half barrel of whiskey in tho
store room.
The order holding Frazier in con-
tempt of court came as the sequel to
an injunction of the court issued last
Wednesday, when several residents If
that section of the city petitionel
Judge Littlejohn to close up F'raz-
ier's place as a public nuisance. AT
the time the petition was made by the
citizens Judge Littlejohn enjoined Fra
zier by court order from keeping open
the store to which objection had been
made by the residents of that section
of the city. A hearing of this order
was set for March 6.
In the meantime the residents Of
West Americus, near Frazier's place OF
business claim that they were contin-
ually annoyed by the disorder at Fra
zier's place even after the court order
of last Wednesday had been issued.
For this reason they brought before
Judge Littlejohn Monday an allegation
to this effect, whereupon an order was
issued by the court declaring Frazie~
in contempt of court and authorizing
the sheriff to seize any whiskey found
in the store and to close up the place.
This was done yesterday, when Sheriff
Fuller made the raid on Frazier's
place of business. Judge Littlejohn
set February %, next Friday, as the
day for the hearing of the contempt
order at the time he issued it on Mon
day.
About three-fourths of a barrel Of
whiskey was seized at Frazier's placa
by Sheriff Fuller. 1t was in pint bot
ties, and Sheriff Fuller said yesterday
that all the whiskey he found was in
the store room at Frazier's place. The
raid was made yesterday morning
about o'clock, and it aroused much
interest both in West Americus and
throughout the city. Frazier has been
arrested several times before for vio-
Iation of the prohibition law. Some
time ago, probably about seven or
eight months, Frazier, after repeated
raids from the local police force, NOV
ed outside the city limits and built the
store which was raided yesterday.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
sREcApDLGRs FROM NEW
ENGLAND.
By A, w. h.SY.

Tho war of 1912 between the
unlssd States and Great Britain
WAS very unpopular in New Eng
land. So serious was the oppo-
sitior that for : time It threat
ened TO break 10 tire Union.
! here were several reasons for
:hls. In the first place, the New
rnglande:s ware stilf chatting
over the defeat " John Adams
for a second term o: the iresi-
dency, In 1890. Then they did
not approve Of the Louisiana
purchase, which meant the addi-
ton of more slave territory to
the United Ststea. And finally,
they were bitter against .hc EN-
barge Act, which interfered
greatly with their shipping in
terests. The national govern
ment had TO resort to eonscrip-
lion TO fill the quotas Of soldiers
required Of the New England
States. This was very distaste-
ful to the c;tiZens. and to escape
the draft hundreds of them
slipped across the line into
Canada. A large percentage Of
these never returned. Many Of
the present inhabitants of the
region lying south of the St
Lawrence and between the chau.
deere and Richelieu rivers are
descendants OF those New Eng
land skeiaddlers from the draft.

GRIP ATTACHMENT TO RAKE

Prevents elistered Hands-Move-

Any person who has ever used a
rake will recall. II they stop to think.
that the rakins was usually done with
one hand. The other hand was used
merely as a sliding grip to guide the
implement. After a few hours of this
sort of work a person who is not ac-
customed TO 1t is apt to find blisters on
the hand that played the guide. To
obviate this New Jersey man has
designed a sliding grip that is at

Wibaux Still
Wants County
Wibauxites Quietly Working to
Get Bill Through Montana Leg
islature Creating Wibaux Coun-
ty-Some Opposition.

Although the Wibaux papers
are very silent in regard to the
matter it has recently been made
public from another source that
Wibaux is still after county divi-
sion and has bill before the Mon
tana legislature for that purpose.
The following from the Baker
Sentinel may be of interest to our
Montana readers.
Like thief in the night repre-
sentatives of Wibaux to the num-
Der of seven fell upon the Offices
at the Court house in Miles City
after closing hours Saturday and
spending that night and Sunday
here securing valuations of thir-
tecn and one-balf townships in
the Carlyle and Preston territory
to embodv in a bill for the crea-
ton of Wibaux- county out of this
portion of Custer and a smaller
part of Dawson counties surround
ing Wibaux. The total valuation
of the proposed new country will
be less than two million dollars.
or one-third of the valuation of
the proposed Fallon county.
A prominent Miles City law
yer has charge of Wibaux's matter
and recent candidate for lieu
tenant governor has been at the
state capital since the first of the
year making medicine on the
deal.
The stealthy and undetermined
method employed by Wibaux in
this matter indicates that they felt
they were attempting to put
something over" on the people OF
Custer county and wanted to get
the deal through without their
knowledge.

Hebron Favors:
Business Agent
People IN That Section Greatly
Interested in Suggestion cf
Governor Hanna.

Hebron, N. D., Jan. 20.-The
people of this section of North
Dakota are greatly interested in
the recommendation of Governor
Hanna in his inaugural address
for state business or develop
ment agent. No proposition
would do more to aid in the devel-
opment of the western half of
North Dakota.
1t is understood the governor
wishes to name a man who will
be able to make a compilation Of
the states resources. to get in
touch with every commercial club
in the state and learn what advan-
tages each town has to offer to
prospective manufacturers and
what, if any. inducements are held
out. These facts will be classi-
fed, then the agent will get in
touch with eastern manufacture
ers and seek to interest them in
the opportunities offered.
Naturally the western part of
the state would have great share
of advertising out of that plan, as
it is in the western half that there
are the most natural resources.
For years experiments have
been made in this place with lig-
mite coal along the lines of bri-
quette and gas production. The
state has a substation here for
that purpose. The value of the
clays of this locality arc amply
demonstrated by the fact that the
largest brick manufacturing plant
in the state is located here. an
'nually shipping millions of brick.
not onlv for the leading struc-
lures in North Dakota, but all ov-
er the entire west. many orders
being sent to San rancisco. Port
land, Seattle and to Canadian
points. This could be duplicat-
ed in numerous other western
towns where there are excellent
clays.
The finer clays that are suitable
for pottery are still further west
than this point and ultimately
they must attract the attention of
manufacturers. If properlv .ex-
plotted as outlined by Governor
Hanna.
The same is true of the flax as
raw products. The western coun-
ties are now growing the bulk of
the flax.
The eastern half of the state
would gain the biggest advantage
in proposed canning factories and
things that require a small an,ount
of fuel or power. but the western
part of North Dakota has super
;or advantages for all forms of en-
terprise that require fuel and pow
er. These can be had in unlimit-
ed quantities because there are
1000. 100000 tons Of Ignite
coal under the western part of the
state capable Of developing the
cheapest fuel and power of any
place in the entire United States,
where water power is not used.
