MAN CHARGED
WITH PIGGING WILL GO TO
THE PENlTENTIARY IF CON.
VICTED AGAIN.

Frank J. Roble, clerk of court Of
McHenry county, arrived from
Towner Tuesday with the records in
the T. w. McVeety case, showing that
McVeety, while resident of Ana
moose, in 1906 was convicted of blind
pigging and served nine months for
it. McVeety was recently arrested,
charged with a similar offense at
Donnybrook and in case that he is
convicted a second time, the peniten-
tiary will stare him in the face.
Later: McVeety was found not
guilty. ..
Speaking of the county division talk
Mr.. Roble said: "The county officials
are not paying much attention to the
fight. We believe that the voters are
able to decide what they want, and if
a majority want to divide the county,
all we'll and good. I believe, however,
that considering the likelihood Of an
increase in the taxes, the question
will be voted down."

Located in poor little cold shack
at the Davis mine mile east Of Bur
lington is a family that has been in
dire want for weeks and no one knew
it until only few days ago. When
the four children failed to attend
school, committee was sent out to
investigate. The sight that met their
eyes as one never to be forgotten. The
father was found very i'll Of pulmon-
airy tuberculosis and he was later
brot to this city for treatment. The
four little children were without shoes
and clad in rags. The mother had no
shoes and the poor father possessed
an old pair that were tied on with
Irvine. The father did not have a
shirt to his back and there was little
or no food in the house. q l.5 ].

AGENT AND ASSISTANT, JOHN
J. BATES, WELL PLEASED "A
BIG ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
IS ON.

Three thousand quarter sections Of
land have already been listed by the
500 Line in its campaign to secure
nlew settlers for North Dakota, ac-
cording to Maj. J. S. Murphy, immi-
grafton agent of the company.
AS starter towards securing new
settlers for North Dakota, Maj. Muir
ply has sent out huge punches of lit
erature, and over 600 advertisements
viii be inserted in the eastern news
papers where the 500 Line has agents.
One OF the most encouraging fea-
lures of the plan is that practically
all Of the land is listed at very reason
able prices, and those who buy it can
figure that they are getting a genuine
bargain.
Major Murphy and his efficient as
sistant, John J. Bates, are more than
satisfied with the progress of the plan
and definite results can be looked for
very shortly.

IN MAGIC CITY
JOHN CARL, THE YOUNGER OF
THE DENBIGH BANK ROBBERS,
LIVED IN MINOT FOR A TINE
BROTHERS RECEIVE STIFF
SENTENCES.

The two young men, Roger Carl,
aged %, and his brother John, aged
20, who were arrested while attempt
ing to rob the Denbigh bank, pleaded
guilty and Saturday were given long
terms in the penitentiary by Judge
Burr at Towner. Roger, the leader,
received a sentence Of seven years
and John, three years. The lads are
now in the penitentiary.
Roger Carl has been a particularly
bad youth. Some years ago he broke
into building at Towner, owned by
the Alfalfa Land Co., intending to
commit theft. A short time before the
Denbigh bank. episode, he robbed the
postofice at Denbigh, getting only
four or five dollars. A short time be-
fore the boys tried to rob the Denbigh
bank, Roger came to Minot, where he
met John, inducing him to. go into the
robbery with him. The boys planned
on securing large sum Of money,
and then return to Minot to spend it.
The Independent has already told
the story Of the Denbigh hold-up and
how the boys were overpowered be-
fore they could get to the banks cof-
fers. Both young men are strong fell
lows but so worthless that when ar
rested they had but ten cents between
them. Y. 81. 4...s ..s
