Electric Eli Ligh Ordinance 0 ! d Pass.
es First Reading Saturday
Members of City Council Unanimously Vote to Accept Pro-
position of National Briquetting Co.Ineresng Meet
ing of Citizens Held Friday Evening;

The good proposition offered us by
Mr.. Soule, and that in his opinion
everything was satisfactory with
the exception of the street lighting
system proposed. Mr.. Donovan
would rather see a white way in
stalled on the streets instead of the
old system of lighting. Mr.. Soule
stated that it was immaterial to him
as to what system of lighting the
city used as long as :, a certain
amount of current was used. 1t
was decided. to talk over the white
way proposition later.
Geo. H. Phelps next took the floor
and stated that he had looked up
the city's financial condition and
found that the council could appro-
pirate about $500 each year for
street lighting without much in
convenience He also answered a
number Of questions propounded by
people present. -. ..-
Jens Peterson stated that he
would like to see the electric cur
rent in Bowbells and would like to
use it himself, but he didn't think
he could afford it: He also was in
favor; OF theetclty putting up a munl-
.Gipal plant.
Mayor Carey. also gave "a short
talk strongly favoring the accept
ance of the proposition. From ap-
pearances big majority of the
people present were in favor of
passing the light ordinance.
Since the meeting was held and
since the people understand the
proposition thoroughly we doubt if
there is person in the city who is
not in favor of granting the fran
chise asked for, Even Mr.. Grams
Who worked so strongly against it.,
is now plugging for it. he not hav-
ing understood it at the start. All
the signers of the petition circulat-
ed by Mr.. Grams are now working
for the. passing of the ordinance,
ard there is no question whatever
but that4sit will pass at sitsS sci efnd
reading Monday evening.

BURNING MINE FUR.
!: I. N|!SAEs SPECTACLE |:
LIGNITE COAL NINE ON FIRE
INTERESTS MANY PEOPLE
- WHO SEE IT, r!8-j

Billings County Herald: A dense
smoke issuing from the abandoned
mine shafts at, the east side of town
last week attracted considerable at
tention. Examination showed that
the fire had fallen through into the
lower shaft and was burning fierce
~ from the additional air given
Addition interest was excited by
the fact that 100 pounds of dyna-
mite had been left in the shaft for
safe keeping. An employe at the
Nichols mine went into the inferno
this. week and brought forth the
stuff that had such destructive pos
sibilities.,
Three years ago a shaft was
driven into the butte to reach the
coal vein, and fire was encountered, !,
and the work had to be Abandoned. !.
Later another shaft was driven be-
meath the layer Of clay on which
the coal rests, and at one side Of
the old shaft. with the end in view
OF going beneath the fire and pene-
trating beyond it,, but the heat of
the fire above was so intense that
this, too, had to be given up.
Last week the top of the newer
and lower shaft gave way, letting
the fire down into it, and thereby
furnishing additional air to the
burning coal. The white-hot
flames could be seen plainly 100
feet back in the lower drift, and
the roar of the burning could be
heard. Many persons visited the
curious place.

AT a special meeting of the city
council held last Saturday evening
the electric light franchise ordin-
ance was passed at2its firts reading
by an unanimous vote. Nothing
was said at this meeting about the
contract for street lighting, but this
matter will come up later for con
sideration. Another meeting OF
the city council will be held next
Monday evening at which time it is
believed that the ordinance Will De
: passed it's second and final read
ing, and will be in force after be-
ing published.
The mass meeting held at the
Mohr Pavilion Saturday evening was
attended by a very large number
OF people, and all were given a
chance to give their views on the
electric light proposition. j. b..
Soule Of the National Briquetting
Co. was present and again thorough.
IL explained the proposition he was
making to the city. Mayor Carey
then asked If anyone present had
any remarks to make, and r. A.
Grams took the floor and stated that
in his opinion two mortgages on
each home in Burke county were
enough, and that he did not believe
the people here wanted another
mortgage to pay, for street lighting.
BY the mortgages Mr.. Grams meant
the two sets of bonds issued by
the city to pay for the sewers and
the waterWorks. He further stat
ed that il the people did want cleo
tric lights he was strongly in favor
to putting in municipal plant
He favored putting $1,000 aside
from the city's funds for, two years.
and then put, up a $4,000 plant and
mortgage same TO pay the balance.
He: presented a petition signed by
a number Of Bowbells people asking
the city council to turn the propo'~'
sition down.
Jerry Donovan was the next to
take the floor, and he stated I hat he
was strongly In favor of taking up

Balch. charged with attempting to
assault Mrs. Caroline Solomon in
her home at Foxholm, is being
held at the. county Jail here very
much the worse for wear as the re-
suit Of his experience. ..
1t is alleged that, he made inde-
cent approaches to Mrs. Solomon,
who attacked the man with a cast
iron stove lid litter. Balch was
nearly beaten into Inconsistencies
and was covered with blood when
the local constable arrived and
placed him under arrest.
The sheriff's Office in Minot was
notified. and the prisoner was re-
moved to the Ward county Jail by
a deputy. Balch will be. given a
trial before Police Magistrate John
Lynch some time this week.

was dismissed by Police Magistrate
John Lynch on the grounds that
not sufficient evidence had been in
troduced to show that Pennison
had committed a crime.
The complaining witness in the
case was W. M. Denslow of Ken
mare, formerly cashier for the 500
railroad at Kenmare.
A preliminary hearing was held
but the judge held that the evidence
atainst the defendant was alto
gether too weak.

M|TTED TO PRISON
MERELY FORNIALITY TO PRE-.

Bismarck, N. D., July IL
George L. Bickford, Bowbells. form
er state treasurer, passed through
the gates Of the state peniten-
tiary shortly before 6 p. m. yes
terday, and was formally commit
TED and few minutes afterwards
given his pardon and released.
Mr.. Bickford did this voluntarily
on the advice of friends who fear
ed that some technicality might be
raised as to the validity Of his
pardon in view Of the fact that he
never had been committed to
prison.
All requirements Of law probably
would have been observed If the
sheriff of Mclean county had for
warded the commitment papers.
Warden Talcott stood ready to for
ward the pardon upon the receipt
of the commitment papers.
Accompanied by Sheriff H. 0.
Simons of Mclean county, Mr..
Bickford made the trip in an auto
mobile arriving at the pen shortly
before six o'clock. He seemed
nervous as he entered the warden's
office.
No exception was made In his
case, however. He was booked
the SAME as other prisoners except
that no measurements were taken.
After his name was entered and
the commitment papers presented
Warden Talcott handed Bickford his
pardon.
Mr.. Bickford showed evidence of
work in the fields. He has been
farming for the last few months
and looked like real farmer.
There was evident signs of re-
lief. on the part of Bickford as he
pocketed the pardon and passed be-
yond the prison gates again a free
man in every sense.
Mr.. Bickford was convicted of
the misuse of state funds.

Makes Rheumatism
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
of New Remedy are
Taken

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up. and bent out OF shape with It's
heart-wrenching pains. when you can
surely avoid It,
Rheumatism comes from weak. in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on liniments or take ordinary
remedies TO relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is TO remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because it
neutralizes and dissolNes all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles. to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans oft and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
SO they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it ON and out of
the system.
Croxone Is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
ic rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find it
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it is
practically impossible TO take it into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the first few
doses, and you Will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package OF Croxone
costs but a trihe at any hrst-class
drug store. All druggists are au-
thorized to sell il on positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day
for few days is often all that IS
ever needed TO cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders.
