HAPPY MOTHERHOOD

The happiness of motherhood istoooften
checked because the mother strength is
not equal to her cares, while her unselfsh
devotion neglects her own health.
1t is a duty of husband or friend to see
that she gets the pure medicinal nourish-
ment in Scott Emulsion, which is not
a drug or stimulant but natures con-
centrated oil-food tonic to enrich and en-
liven the blood, strengthen the nerves and
aid the appetite. Physicians everywhere

worked, nervous, tired women; it builds
up and holds up their strength.

ARGUMENT IN BARRETT TRIAL
is OVER MOB OR NO MOB

10 OVEK MUD ON nv MUD
The main clash in the trial of Ed
and Charles Barrett and Arthur
Friedman yesterday was on the point
of whether there was a~crowd of peo-
pie or any excitement or rioting
around the corner of Fifth avenue
and Washington street the night of
June Is, 1912, when Frank Witt was
shot and killed.
Healy and Day, attorney sfor the
defense, showed that they will claim
there was a disorderly, violent mob
there, and for that reason one of the
defendants, wearing star and carry
ing a gun as a special policeman, was
justified in killing Witt.
Asst States Attorney O'Brien
came down heavy on this point in his
opening address to the jury and said
all the evidence is positive and be-
yond dispute that there was no
crowd, that pedestrian street traffic
was normal, and all testimony of po-
icemen and police officers will back
up this point.
''At the time of the shooting" said
O'Br1en, Gnere was NOBODY on the
car except passengers who had been
on and paid their fares. 1t was nort
NAL situation. No people were on the
car except passengers and they were
mainly women and children. Police
Sergeant Halligan was on duty on
the corner. He was in uniform There
was such a complete lack of disorder
of any kind that Police Sergeant Hal
Iigan was unoccupied, was standing
quiet, when the car on which the
murder took place came down Fifth
avenue to the corner of Washington.
When Halligan went to the car on the
call of Motorman Enz there were no
people congregated about the car"
Sergeant Halligan testified: 81 was
standing on the southwest corner of |
Fifth avenue and Washington street |

and saw the motorman step down
from the car.
'The motorman called to me, Off
Ger, come over here, there's a man
with his gun in his hand didn't no
tice any other people around the car
at the time.
81 heard a shot and saw Conduct
ior Witt fall from the car, with his
hands raised up over his head. AS he
fell downward l heard him cry out
with pain, I'm shot
81 ran toward the front of the car
and in the front vestibule saw three
men with guns. They were Edward
Barrett and Charles Barrett and Ar
thur Friedman l couldn't pick out
the particular one that shot Witt.
81 fired five shots into the vestibule.
Officers Flynn and eCdarburg came
running up to assist. The vestibule
was closed. CedaTburg put his gun
through a window and ordered them
to come out. They opened the door
then and came out and surrendered.
Charles Barrett had a bullet
wound and was taken to hospital.
Ed Barrett and Friedman were taken
to the station. All three of them re-
fused to talk. or make any kind of ex-
plantations as to why they were shoot
ing"
Halligan's story was brought out
by questions from the states attor-
ney At different points in his story
he was. asked if there was a crowd
of any kind or an unusual gathering
of people. He testified: "No people
surrou' led the car at any time" and =
explai that as street conditions
were ordinary before the shooting
and the murder took place quickly
there was not time for a crowd of
curiosity seekers to collect.

Mouse River Away Up.

The murmuring Mouse is away up
and in some places over its banks. The
water rose four feet one night and TIVE
feet another and has been steadily
raising since. The cooler weather has
had a tendency to check it and this
has obviated the danger of much of a
flood. tt is said that the dam at Nc
Kinney went out about a week age,
causing the rapid rise.
Up the river, when the water is low,
there is sometimes no more than TIVE
or three feet of it in the river, but
now it is easily ten feet deep. The
ice had broken and presents an inter-
esting spectacle. Farmers who have
hay meadows in the valley would vel
come a small flood as this means q
great crop Of grass.

Mr.. j. T. Bustard and Mr.. S. S. Bo-
den, Of Mercer county, Ill.,, arrived
Saturday with another carload Of
horses and sattle which they are TAX
ing out to their farm eight miles
North of Minot. These two hustlers
have already shipped up three car
loads of horses, cattle and machinery,
which they have taken to their farm,
and are now well equipped to take
care of their land in first class man
ner.
Mr.. w. S. Bearmore, his family and
hired man, together with two car
loads of horses and machinery, Ne
recent arrivals in the city. Mr.. Bear
more has moved to his farm southwest
of the city, which he is improving ex-
tensively, and we are, sure he will
make success as he is a young hus-
| tier.
Yesterday Mr.. Joseph Helling, of
Ft. Madison, Iowa, arrived with three
carloads of blooded stock, and full
set of farming machinery, that he is
moving out to his farm northwest of
Minot, in the Deering country. Mr..
Helling is thriving and prosperous
farmer and owns one of the best
farms northwest of Minot.
Mr.. Orlando Brown, who recently
arrived in Minot with several carloads
of horses, cattle and machinery, has
just received thoroughbred Perch
eron stallion that he has taken out to
his 480 acre farm four miles east of

purchased several thoroughbred hogs.
Mr.. VIM. c. Kirchoff, of Cook coun-
! ty, Illinois, who has been a resident of

the past year, arrived in Minot last

substantial kind, and these are the
kind of farmers that Ward county
needs. We cannot get too many of
them.

COUNCIL PASSES
 SPEED ORDINANCE
Limits Motor Cars Or Cycles To
 20 Miles An Hour. Six Miles at Corners.

The city fathers brought forth the automobile ordinance regulating speed upon city streets, at a regular session of the council Monday, and gave it first, second and third reading. As soon as published, it becomes our local law.
 The speed limit in the busi- ness section is fixed at 15 miles per hour, 20 miles in the residence section, and 6 miles in making turns and cor ners, where the view is obstruct- ed. Racing is prohibited and it is also made unlawful to run over 6 miles per hour on the lake bridge.
 Where horses become fright ened, the motorist must stop his car and if necessary, assist in preventing accident. The motorist must also have two forward white lights and one red rear light, all to be lighted during the period from sunset to one hour before sunrise.
 Current accounts were allow ed and a resolution adopted calling for the opening of a roadway around the upper end of the lake, to be used while the new lake bridge is being constructed.
 The council also decided to meet next Monday evening, but mo furthtr meetings after that will be held until the first Mon- day in July.

 It is stated that everything is now ready for drafting of the protocol. Secretary Bryan said that the counter proposals submitted by the United States were not enough different to present insurmountable obsta- cles and believes the Huerta delegates will accept the changes.
 If accepted, it makes no diff ference whether Carranza's par ticipation comes in time, as his cause is said to be fully provid- ed for in provision made for ade- quate Constitutionalist repre- sentation in the new provisional government.
