WILL POSTPONE PURCHASE
OF CUSTER MEMORIAL

Mardan, N. D., Aug. 10. Paul
Feldje, the sculptor, left Mandan for
Valley City, but has not yet received
a commission for the Custer statue.
The ladies Of the Civic league who
were at the meeting Wednesday were
all Of the opinion that it would be a
o appropriate thing to have the
statue erected here, but until some
more definite plans have been arrang-
ed for raising the $4,000 needed no
order will be given.
Just at the present time Mandan
has her hands full with things &C
tually needed to make the city at
tractive and $4,000 Is considered to
be too much to be raised in the city
at the present time. If an appro-
priation could be secured from the
state. and other subscriptions from
out of the city for substantial amounts,
the ladies might see their way clear
to raise the balance. 1t is probable
that some organization will be perfect
ed and some plan adopted for ultimate
ly securing such a manument.
1t has been suggested that Con-
gresham Norton be appealed to
present a bill in congress asking for
an appropriation for $4,000 to cover
the cost of the statute. General GUS
ter was a national character, and it Is
only fitting that the government mark
the site of his headquarters with
monument.

10 TOO FOND
OF MEDICINE"

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 19.-The
sale of patent medicines of such q
character as to produce drunkenness
is going to be stopped by the Indian
department. In what by Indian agents
is considered the most important
prosecution in recent years, DOC" I'm
derwood of Poplar. Mont, was last
week convicted in the federal court at
Grand Falls. Sixty days in Jail and a
fine and costs amounting to over ST.
600 was the sentence Of the court.
The head of a big eastern drug
house, with specialists. was en- the
ground to defend his product against
the charge hat it was prepared as a
beverage and labeled "bltters" n
various compounds.
Lieut.. N. A. Way, of this city. prose-
cuted the Underwood case as special
agent of the Indian department. For
mer Governor Norris Of Montana rep
resented the defense. The victory was
complete for the government and is
considered a long step in the house
cleaning at various Indian points
where an appalling condition has re-
suited from the sale of dope" to In
dams. Unable to secure whisky at
some points, the reds have taken to
extracts and patent medicine to such
extent as to make the condition
serious.

Montana case, was formerly located

OLD INDIAN FIGHTER
REVISITS The SCENE

Bowman, NJ. D., Aug. 19.-One Of
North Dakota's old Indian fighters was
a visitor for a short time in Bowman.
j. Z. Luce is his name and he was a
that generals famous Indian raids
Throughout this section fifty years ago.
Mr.. Luce Joined the army when he
was 10 years old and at the age Of 10
was mustered out. At the request Of
Curator H. C. Fish, of the State His
torlcal society,", he, with several other
veterans, recently Joined an automobile
expedition which had for it's purpose
the locating of the exact spots where
the Indian battles were fought and to
gain other information from the veter-
ans which would be of historical value.
Ihey were driven through the bad
IanaS ana at a point about six miles
south of Medora they located one Of
the former battle fields. Here they
found an unexploded shell which had
lain where 1T had fallen for fifty years
to a day: They also found a broken
hame, a king bolt and other relics of
the mule teams which had accompanied
the expedition. Following the tourney
over the old battle field, the veterans
were taken to Bismarck where three
days were spent in questioning them
ana IN learning from their lips of the
former over the Indians.
In travelling in a comfortable auto
mobile, Mr.. Luce did not find the bad
lands nearly so forbidding and treach-
q" no udu plCtuIeu Inem IN mis-
minds eye. He found that travelling
through the bad lands fifty years ago.
with blood thirsty Indians on every
side, was somewhat different from GO
ing through in an automobile, with no
waring tribes to hinder.
Following his trip through the bad
lands, Mr.. Luce thought he would seize
the opportunity and visit his two nice
es near Ludlow, S. D., whom he had not
seen in three years. He was on his re-
turn from TIE visit, to his home at
Groton, S. D.. when interviewed by a
citizen representative. He expects soon
to be called upon by the South Dakota
historical society on a mission similar
to that which he has recently complet-
ed in this state.

STARTED With TWO COWS
SELLS SO and HAS 10 LEFT

New England, N D., Aug. 19.-
Seven years ago when Herman Muth
settled on a half section Of land in Het-
finger county, eighteen miles south OF
New England, he started farming with
two COWS and a team OF mares. From
these cows and mares he has raised
&nC sold thirty-eight head of catt;c
and six head of horses and has ten
head of cattle and several mead Of
horses left on the farm. The cattle
sold for $1,977 and the ten head on the
farm are probably worth over $500.
Not a bad record for two COWS.
Mr.. Muth has an interesting story
to tell about the way he got into the
stock raising business. He started
with the two COWS, raised one heifer
and one steer calf, traded the 2-year-
old steer for a COW n heifer calf.
The old cows, the new cow and the
heifers kept the calf crop increasing
and he continued to trade steers for
COWS and heifers. The mares and colts
increased and some horses were traded
for steers. To sum the thing up at
the end of seven years, the two cows
and two mares and Mr.. Muth's method
Of trading are responsible for the
forty-eight head of cattle. the SIX
horses sold and all the horses needed
on the farm.
During this same time MIR. Muth
handled a brand of sheep. He paid
$1,4OO for the brand when sheep were
high and sold for $500 when sheep
were low. He made nothing on the
sheep but was ahead three clips Of
wool which amounted to LOO. He
also raised grain and bought and paid
for all the machinery needed to farm
a. half section of land. If he had put
the money into cattle instead of sheep
Mr.. Muth says he would have been
over $4,000 ahead.

BABY BURNED TO
DEATH In GRANARY

Stady, N. D., Aug. 10. The g.
months-old baby of Mr.. and Mrs.
Marius Aas was burned to death in d
fire which destroyed a granery on their
farm near Howard postoff1ce, south
west of Stady.
The father was in the field working
and the mother had gone to a neigh
boris house after water leaving the
children playing in the granery. How
the fire started is not known but it is
presumed that the children had secur-
ed. some matches and by this means
the fire was started, The other chill
dren became frightened at the sight or
the flames and a screaming to the
mother, leaving the little helpless tot,
unable to do anything for it's own pro-
lection, to the cruel mercies of the fire
demon. When the parents arrived on
the scene it was too late and only the
charred remains of the babe, lying
among the burning embers of the
building was there to greet them.

ACID THROWN IN
JEWELRY STORE

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 1.-two
mysterious attempts to enter the
Huesgen jewelry store, 300 DeMers
avenue, have been made during the
asst week, the second occurring Mon
day night.
The screen was removed from the
rear window, and the sash raised. At
this point, however, the intruder found
n1mseIf prevented from entering fur
ther by a set of heavy iron bars.
A bottle of nitric acid and another
OF hydro chloric acid, stood on the
window sill just inside of the bars. Re
moving the shoppers from these the
Would-be burglar apparently scattered
a large portion Of the contents of the
tWo bottles around the room, soaring
the woodwork severely.
Inc shoppers were then replaced and
the bottles left in an upright position
on the window sill.
The previous attempt was made last
week in the same manner except that
on that occasion the two acid bottles
were completely emptied, and knocked
to the floor.
1t is supposed that both affairs are
the work of would-be burglars and
they are being investigated

HAS ORGANIZED
A FIRE DEPARTMENT

Taylor. N. D., Aug. 19.-At a we'll
attended meeting a Taylor fire depart
ment was organized. Committees
were appointed to confer with the
town board in regard to procuring
needed apparatus and to see about the
installation of a hydrant near the
Farmers elevator. This can be done
at very little expense and it is thought
that the trustees will readily grant the
requests of the committees. The eIeva-
tor company has installed a high pres
sure pump capable of forcing water
through two medium sized hose to any
part of the town. The water supply
is also adequate for an ordinary fire.

A very large and representative as
sembly gathered at the funeral of Mrs.
Margaret Mush. who was buried at
Argusville cemetery. Rev. ]. Richmond
Morgan, who was called home from his
vacation, spoke of the silent heroism of
the farmers wife whose battles are
fought under no ~applauding eye and
without hope Of any great reward re-
known or glory. A mother who nutured
10 children cannot be said to have lived
in vain. She has left a husband, seven

only a few days old. The bereaved
family gratefully acknowledge the
many kindnesses they have received
during his their sorrow. Cor. A.
