LEFT TEN YEAR
GIRL IN DEPOT
GRANDFATHER BRINGS LITTLE
GIRL TO CITY-LEAVES HER IN
DEPOT AND GOES HOME

Saturday afternoon the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Garretson who
live on east Broadway, wandered
away from home and went down to the
Great Northern depot. When she ar
rived there she saw a little girl and
played with her for some time. At
last she said she had to 60 home and
the other little girl said she wished
she had home to 60 to. The little
Garretson girl then invited her to 60
home with her which she did. The
little girl was invited into the Gar
retson home and Mrs. Garretson ask
ed her where her home was. She said
she hadn't any home. Asked about
her mother, she said she was dead.
At last she told her story. She said
her name was Carrie Keller and that
she had been staying with her grand
father, Mr.. Kelter in Lester, MINI.
Her grandfather had brought her here
on number one Saturday morning and
they had stayed at the depot until
noon when he took the train east tell
ing her, she said, never to show up at
his place again or he would throw her
out.
When she gave the name of Kelter
it was found upon inquiry that she
was the daughter of Pete Kelter of
Mckenzie county and word was sent
to him. Her grandmother on her
mothers side came over later and took
her home with her.
When she arrived at the Garretson
home she was asked if she had any
dinner and she said no, nor breakfast.
The little girl was about ten years
old and is crippled in one hand and
foot. How any man could be mean
enough to leave a little girl in this
manner is beyond comprehension.

STACY HAD EXCUSE

Stacy, the check forger put up a
good story to the States Attorney the
first of the week as to why he was
broke when he arrived here. Stacy
claimed he had nine dollars when he
arrived in Trenton but told Burdick
that he got into a pool game in the
Mcintosh pool hall and that he was
induced to play for a dollar game.
He got into the game but evidently
got the wrong "cue or tip" for he lost
his nine dollars in a short time ac-
cording to his story. On the strength
Of his story warrant was issued for
the poolhall man and the operator
Frank Greenwood subpoened as a wit
ness. Greenwood failed to show up
and the pool hall man was released.
A warrant was issued for Greenwood
on the charge of contempt of court.
However the sheriff met Greenwood
near the city, he having walked in.
He told the states attorney that he
had no way to get down and had to
walk, so the charge against him was
dismissed. \

HOG CHOLERA
NEAR WILLISTON
FARMERS REPORT MANY HOGS
DYING-EXPOSED ANIMALS
SHOULD BE VACCINATED

Several farmers in the vicinity of
Williston report cholera among their
hogs and Mr.. Sharp reports the loss
of eight or ten animals. He said they
examined one of the dead pigs and
were satisfied that death was due to
cholera.
Farmers having hogs that have been
exposed to cholera should have them
treated with serum as soon as pos
sible and this can be secured from DR..
Van Es, at Fargo. The serum is ship
ped C. o. D. and it will cost about
one dollar a head to treat the hogs.
In last weeks issue of the Graphic
in the farm department we published
an article on the prevention of Hog
Cholera and this article advices when
to use the serum.

INDIAN TROOPS ON
WAY TO EUROPE
TWO CORPS PASS THROUGH
DOMINION ENROUTE TO
THEATER OF WAR

Winnipeg, Aug. 29.-Two crack
corps of British troops from India
went through Winnipeg early this
morning in three special trains.
They were all big black fellows,
members of the Bengal lancers. They
made rapid progress across the con-

at any stopping places.
This is the first time British troops
have been shot across Canada, al
though it is the favorite route of
naval men passing from oriental sta
tions to England.
