Wilcox. sheriff of Washing ton county, who has a summer home at Watch Hill The bathing suit was taken from the piazza roof of the Barber cottage and neighbor gave the information that the theft was committed by two dark complexioned boys, one much darker than the other and at a distance had the appearance of being a negro. Sheriff Wilcox was in High street, Wednesday afternoon when he saw a group of boys coming down the street and at once suspected a very dark complexioned boy as one of the pair who committed the thefts at Watch Hill. His suspicion was strengthened when he saw this box give an exhibition of his undesirable prowess by stepping into the Stfllmar store and grabbing a handful of smal toy birds and then placing them bacl on the counter unobserved by those in the store.
 The boys then started down Mai1 street, the sheriff following. Here thi, same boy held up a man with a couple of pails of huckleberries, helped him. self and ran away.

GREAT MEETING
HELD AT STADY
MEETING IN INTERESTS OF WILL
L1sTON AND NORTHERN ROAD
WAS A ROUSING ONE

The meeting held Tuesday at Stady
in the interests of the Wiiiiston and
Northern electric line was 2 real live
one and every one of the large crowd
in attendance was filled with enthus-
iasm over the prospects for road in
that section of the country. Presl-
dent Brown acted as chairman and
talks were delivered by Overson,
Bergman, A. J. Field, Capt. Baily and
Chas. Field of this city as well as by
many farmers, among the number be-
ing Hessrs Hanson, Robinson, Lar
son and others.
Surveyor Field reported that they
had the survey made about twenty
miles out of Williston. He said the
main line would run just west OF the.
Zah] lakes and then northwest pass
ing about three miles west of Stady.
By going through here he said they
could obtain a very good grade: ms
would take it in the direction OF West
by but they would strike the 500 as
far east as possible and still get
throug oh with a reasonable grade.
Representatives from the Howard
country TO the west Of the proposed
line and from the Plumer ana CROSBY
country northeast were at the meet
ing. These people were all strongly
in favor of the line and when they
learned where the main line was to-
run they got busy working for a.
branch line. Both sections raised
enough money in a few minutes to
pay for the survey for branch line.
Thus if the main line goes through
and we don't believe anything could
stop it now, there will in all probabil-
ity be two branch lines. One running
west and north into the Howard coun-
try and the other north east into the
Plumer and Crosby territory. The
Plumer people are. working hard for
their branch and have called for a
meeting there on Monday the 18th.
Surveyor Field states that the grade
up the Muddy valley is in an excellent
one as far as they have gone and
that it will not be one per cent grade
as far as Zahl ard but little heavier
north west Of there. He said that he:
put on the leveling crew yesterday
and they will follow up the work OF
the surveying crew.

NORTH DAKOTA
BANKERS HERE
SEVERAL HUNDRED WILL VISIT
WILLISTON JULY 1-CHICAGO
AND N. Y. REPRESENTED

1t is not very often that the city Of
Williston has such chance to distin-
guish itself, as it will have at the
time of the gathering here of the
North Dakota Bankers Association,
July 1st, and End. Not only will there
be present representative bankers
from all parts Of the, state, but rep:
resentatives of the leading financial
institutions of the country will be
present. 1t is customary for the
banks of New York and Chicago to
send at least one representative and
the banks of Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Duluth usually send two repre-
senatives from each Of the larger
banks. The impression whether it be
good or bad that is fixed in the minds
of these visitors when they leave here
will depend upon the treatment that
they receive while they are our guests.
It is therefore very important that
every citizen of Williston do his or
her part to make the stay of our
guests here pleasant and agreeable,
and have them feel when they leave
that the people of Williston are kindly
and hospitable, as well as business
like.
Quite large number of the bank
ers will be accompanied by their
wives, and we understand that plans
are being made especially for the en-
tertainment of the ladies. Various
committees have been appointed to
look after the different features, and
if you are approached by member
of one of these committees with the
request that you do some particular
thing, you will materially assist by
doing the thing you are asked to do
promptly and efficiently. If each one
helps a little the work will not be hard
on any one.
The matter of sleeping accomoda-
tions is one that needs looking after.
A very competent committee has been
appointed, consisting of Mr.. Berg
man and Mr.. Everson, and if any of
our citizens have one or more rooms
that they can rent for one or two
nights, it will help if they will call
up a member of this committee and
advise them Of the fact.
The business sessions of the bank
sers convention are open to the gen.
seral public, and every one that cares
to come is welcome. There will be
several things of especial interest to
our Farmers, among them being an
address on intensive farming in the
Island of Guernsey, illustrated by
lantern slides by Charles L. Hill of
Rosendale, Wis, who is a prominent
breeder as well as importer Of Guern-
sey cattle. Another speaker will be
Frank Sanford of Valley City, who
will talk on Farm Accounting and
Stock Raising. Every farmer should
try and be present and hear these
talks.

ADVISED TO
BUY AT HOME
CHICAGO PARTY ADVISES WILL
LISTON RELATIVES TO BUY
THEIR GOODS FAT HOME

Our "Sinning Against Your Home
Town" articles which appear every
week are attracting great deal OF
attention among our readers and we
are glad to state that readers have
asked us to continue the series. There
are always two sides to every ques-
ton and we admit that the farmer
has quite often kick coming as well
as the town merchant. It is for these
very reasons that we publish these
articles and hope that they will help
little toward getting the farmer and
merchant together and cutting down
the amount of mail order business
from this district.
Mr.. O'Banion, one of our readers in
the Muddy Valley recently wrote q
relative in Chicago about windmill.
His answer was one filled with excel
lent advice and Mrs. O'Banion brought
US the letter stating that she was in
terested in our articles on this SUBJ
ject and thought we would like to
use part of the letter. We are pleas
ed to do so:
Chicago, June 2, 1914.
Mr.. ]. A. O'Banion,
Williston, No. Oak.
Mr.. Dear Dad:
l have your letter Of the oath.
In the first place want to say that
whatever you do, do not send away
for the windmill because everybody
should patronize home industry.
If everybody sent away for every
thing they needed it would not be
long until there would not be a town
Of Willisten.
Find out what you can get one in
Williston for and give them chance
to sell you one first. Remember that
there are freight expenses, expenses
of send draft and other incidentals
to think of in connection with this
! matter.
Furthermore should anything 60
wrong with the windmill that you had
sent away for there would be no fur
ther recourse whatever, but if you
bought it from someone in Williston
you could have the matter remedied
BY paying cash for this windmill
you could get it right and I certainly
would not fuss around with it any
longer as I told you long ago that
you could get either windmill or a
motor. which ever you thought best,
and I hope that you will not wait too
long to do it.
Life is too short to break your
back for $500.
Sincerely yours,
George Moeller.
