SIX DRUMMER GIRLS

Delightful Sextette of Musical En-
tertainers coming to Willston Janu-
ary 9th in our Commercial Club
Course, Gates Hall.
The Military Girls are coming to,
town. This is a company Of six win
some young ladies thoroughly trained
in the art of entertainment, who will
have something entirely new to offer
to Lyceum patrons.
AS the name suggests. much of their
program is military. One important
feature of their program is a mill
tary scene in which they appear as
fife and drum corps, do lot of mill
tary maneuvering and stir up the
latent patriotism that is so likely to
fade out in the lives of busy people.
The Military Girls while present
ing new item in Lvceum entertain
ment are all season Lyceum perform
ers and know the needs of this field
thoroughly well. Their programs are
full of action and snap and yet are
thoroughly refined and in keeping WITH
the best Lyceum ethics.
Old and young alike will be de-
lighted with this splendid entertain
ment and the Military Girls will have
a full house.

HOMESTEADER
IS ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH SLAUGHTER1NG
CATTLE BELONGING TO
RANCHERS

Shafer, N. D., Jan. 10-Albert Han
son, a homesteader in the western
portion of the county, was arrested
on a charge of slaughtering cattle be-
longing to ranchers. Immediately
afterwards five other settlers in that
section disappeared and it is thought
they have been implicated in some
manner. The cattlemen have been
missing animals for some time, and
have been watching the homestead
ers, who were under suspicion. There
is strong organization among cat
tlemen for protection against thieves
and also for furnishing bounties for
the destruction of wolves.

PARCEL POST BUSINESS

To give our readers an idea of the
immense business now carried on by
the parcel post we copy from Chi
cago daily the business for one week
in that city alone, and it was not the
week before Christmas either, but for
the week ending December 13, 1913.
The paper says:
Chicago's parcel post business this
week broke the record since the in
auguration of the system. The av-
erage business since last Saturday
has been 215 tons a day. It is now
running about 100000 packages a
month, against 100000 for last Jan
uary. The stamp sale for the first
ten days Of December amounted to
81 100000 This was said to be larg-
er than for any like period in the his
tory of the Chicago postoffice.
When one city sends out 215 tons
of mail daily you can hardly find fig
ures to express the number of tons
sent out in the United States. The
parcel post is certainly here to stay.

BUSY YEAR FOR
GAME WARDENS
TOTAL REVENUE FOR NORTH
ERN DISTRICT $lS,26S FOR
LAST TWELVE MONTHS

Seventy convictions out of "a ar.
rests for breaking the state game laws
were secured during 1913 by e. B.
McCutcheon, chief game warden Of
District No. 1, according to his report
to the state game and fish commits
sion. The report follows:
81 beg to report that we made ~
arrests in the entire district, secured
20 convictions, dismissed two cases
and lost two cases.
"Of the 20 convictions, 68 were fined
and paid their fines and all court costs
and two served ten days each in the
county Jail, in the counties where con-
'victed.
eve convicted in fines the sum of
1902, which sum is turned over by
the various justices to their respect
i've county treasurers, and which goes
to the credit of the counties, by be-
ing converted into the school fund
There is a mistaken idea that this
sum goes to the Game Board fund.-
but this is not the case, as the law
provides for the disbursement of these
funds into the school fund.
GAS all fines and costs were paid in
the 68 cases above referred to, there
has been no expense to the state, ex-
cept in the two cases dismissed and
in the two cases lost, and the board
for ten days each for two men in the
county jails, this could not, in any
event amount to over $22, and in re-
turn for this the school fund distrib-,
uted among the various counties has;
been enriched by $1O92 in actual cash.,
thus leaving net profit to the state
of 5000.
"This, then, very quickly explodes
that belief that the enforcement of
the game laws in burden on the tax
payers or that the tax payers money
is wasted by enforcing the game laws
COniscated Property
eve have seized and confiscated 2"
guns, 239 muskrat traps, 16 beaver
traps, 1872 muskrat skins, IL fish nets.
OF these we have on hand one old
gun and muskrat skins, and have
sold the other skins, which were in
poor condition, and one gun for $61.55,
which sum has been sent to the state
treasurer. The muskrat traps, beaver.
traps and nets were destroyed, as pro-.
| vided by law.
"The total revenue for this district
for the season of 1913 from all sources
is $18,26S.55, and of this $16,44785,
goes to the state treasurer to be cred
tied to the Game fund. Last season
the revenue for this district from all
sources was $13,758, which netted the
Game Board $123S2.2O, and while the
gross increase in this district has
been $4,51O.55, the net increase to the.
Game fund has only been $4,065.65..

Washington, Jan. 8.-The free list

TUESDAY EVENING..OF
ELECTED WEDNESDAY =

The annual commercial club meet
ing was held Tuesday evening and
five new directors were elected as fol-
lows: J. B. Lyon, G. F. Carpenter,
Vern Asbury, w. B. Overson and F.
P. Bergman.
Yesterday afternoon the directors,
held meeting and elected F. B.
Bergman president; J. B. Lyon, vice
president and A. N. Eidsness, treas

as to a secretary.

general opinion was that if the club
was able financially it would be welF
to secure the services of an exper-
fenced club man, one capable of build
ing up the club and advertising the
city to the best advantage.

chilled without knowing it that in at
tempting to move he fell from the

HARVEY AUDITOR

The City Commissioners held a
meeting last Monday evening. The
resignation of N. B. Ludowese as
city auditor, filed at the last meeting
was accepted and George Harvey ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 14.-There
has been no error made in the COM
mutation of the sentence of Joe Rem

from the state penitentiary according
to Attorney General Miller.
"There is no foundation for the al

HellstrOm Makes Denial

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 14.-Frank 0.
Helstrom. former warden of the
state penitentiary, does not believe
that his action in liberating Joseph
E. Remington from the state peniten-
tiary was irregular. He computed the
good time for Remington's entire i'm
prisonment and deducted it from the
thirty-fve years sentence to which
life Imprisonment had been commut-
ed, It has been contended that Rem
ington was not entitled to any good
time until after the date of commu-
tation and on that basis Remington
should not have been liberated prior
to 1918.

WIRELESS CRY
FROM STEAMER
RECEIVED STATING SHIP FILL
ING FAST-12O PASSENGERS
. ON BOARD

Halifax, N. S., Jan. 13.-A wireless
cry for help from the Royal Mail
steamer Cobequid, fast on the ledge
of Grand Manan, just before dawn,
was followed five hours later by a
final flicker of her radio, saying the
ship was filling, caused grave concern
for 120 persons aboard.
St. Johns, N. B., Jan. 1.-THE
fate Of the Royal Mail Steamer Cobe-
quid, with 12O passengers aboard is
still in doubt, although the steam
ships agents here announced that they
had received a message at 10 a. m.
today, stating the Cobequid was still
above water at the spot where she
was caught on the ledge in the Bay
of Fundy yesterday.
A telephone message from the Ca
madam Northern steamer Royal
George, in port here, announced that
Royal George had just caught an IS.
o. S." wireless call from the Cobe-
quid.
A thick vapor overhangs the bay,
making the search exceedingly diff
cult. Vessels sent to Cobequld's as
sistance ploughed through heavy seas
all yesterday and last night without
catching a glimpse of her. The exact
position of the sinking ship is in
doubt, although the wireless caught
by the Royal George gave some in
formation.
The wreckage has drifted ashore at
Yarmouth, but in addition to the Roy
al George, the steamer Lady Laurier
caught the Cobequid distress call and
it is hoped that the passengers yet
may be saved.
The Lady Laurier, which started to
the rescue yesterday from Halifax,
should be near Brier Island, the re-
ported scene of the wreck Of the Royal
mail liner when the latter's call was
heard
