OF MEANS
DRANK STRYCHNINE

Minot, N. D., April 1.--Wiliam Burk,
SO years old, a farmer living IL miles
north Of Minot and OF considerable
means, drank a bottle Of strychnine
last night, dying soon after from the
effects Of the poison. Dependency
following the death Of his wife some
time ago is probably the cause. The
hired mar had left the house but
for a moment and on returning,
found his employer writhing on the
floor partly unconscious. The empty
bottle of strychnine was found in the
stove. Coroner Doe and Sheriff Kel-
ley were called and the coroner pro-
nounced the death by suicide. Burk
leaves a 1ve-year-old daughter who
has been living with his father-in-law
for some months.

Minot, N. D.. April City Audi

of the city and it's finances by the
publication Of a detailed report Of the
financial condition giving practically
every possible action taken by the city
in the past few years. It is expected
that the report will be printed in
pamphlet form for distribution. The

day that he would make his investi-
cation, notwithstanding.

VAST AMOUNT OF LAND
UNDER CONTROL OF THE
BOARD OF SCHOOL LANDS

amount to $194,7 700 and probably three
fourths Of that amount will be &C
copied. Bonds which have been au-
thorized purchased and pending
amounts to $198, 100.
In the past four months state deeds
have been issued for 63,628.69 acres
of state land which. is the result of
tracts. Many of these deeds were is
sued as the result of the contract
holders taking advantage of the per-
mission to pay up in full in five
years. During the same length of
time in the previous year there were
deeds issued for 49,s49.22 acres.
One million n hundred thousand
acres of land will be leased this month.
In the eastern part Of the state in
the counties bordering the Red river
g. large amoun of the leased land
Is under cultivation and is only
leased for one year, at a time except
in cases where the department is au-
thorized to lease cultivated land for
two years to allow summer following
the first year and cropping the second
year. This in only done in cases
where the land has become foul with
noxious weeds and the price of rent
al for the W years is charged as one
year. Most Of the grazing lands In
the western part Of the state lease
for the minimum price which in the
east competition often runs the price
up to good sums, depending Of course
on the bidding and the quality Of the
land"
It will be seen that the work Of the
department is one of the important
features of the business of the state
and that it, is rapidly increasing. Mr..
Henry brought an experience to the
office that has proved valuable in
handling the affairs of the depart
ment and while there has been an in
crease in the amount of work done,
the installation of more modern meth
DDS and work saving devices has not
made it necessary to increase the
force. This is now and will always
continue to be the most important
and most profitable department in
the capitol building n the state
MAJ be complimented upon having
been able to secure the services of so
capable a man to be at the head OF
affairs.

DIED OF EXPOSURE.
William L. Scott, of Ellsworth, Lost
in Woods DIT Grand Falls.

William L. Scott, of Ellis worth, died at
J. 7. Giles camp at Grand Falls plantation
Saturday, as the result of exposure, hav
ing spent two nights and a day in the
woods. Reports received here have been
meagre and conflicting, but from the most
reliable source the facts seem to be as
follows:
Scott, with crew largely composed of
Ellsworth men, left here Tuesday of last
week to go into the woods with j. T..
Giles, who has just started an operation
on the Buffalo, in Grand Falls plantation.
The crew went into camp from West En-
field, eighteen miles, on Wednesday, and
started in work Thursday.
On the way to camp for supper Thurs
day evening, Scott sat down to rest, tell
ing the men with him that be would fol-
low along in a few minutes. When he
did not put in an appearance for supper,
the men from the camp Immediately
started out to search for bim.
Thursday night, all day Friday and
Friday night the search was continued,
but Scott was not found until Saturday
morning, when he was found just off the
road and only short distance from
where he was last seen. He was uncon-
scious when found, and very weak from
exposure. He was taken to camp and a
physician was summoned from Enfield.
Restoratives failed of effect, and he died
about O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
The body was brought here Monday,
and services were held at st. Joseph IS
Catholic church yesterday forenoon, Rev.
P. F. Flanagan officiating. The bearers
were Joseph Mcintosh, Thomas Gaynor
