4 The Burke county fair, held in
this city on Tuesday, Wednesday
and yesterday proved in every way
to be one Of the biggest successes
in it's line ever held in this part OF
the state. AS usual the first day
was reserved for entering the eN-
hibits and no part of the regular
program took place on that day.
The number of people present was
not very large, most OF the crowd
preferring to come during The last
two, days. Wednesday was the
biggest day and several thousand
people were present.
The exhibits in every department
far exceeded anything expected
here. They were far ahead OF
those shown here during former
fairs, and were as good as anything
shown in the state. Especially
were the exhibits of live stock and
poultry good. These departments
attracted special attention.
Il The Kenmare band furnished
music, during the last two days OF
the fair, on the streets of the city
during the forenoon, at the fair
gounds during the afternoon and

sEVETEEN WATCHES INCLUDED
IN BOOTY OBTAINED FROM
STORE.

Medina, N. D., Aug. 5.-The
George B. Zinck store was broken
into and seven pairs of shoes, sew
pnteen watches and some other
merchandise stolen. The thieves
gained entrance by breaking out a
rear window. States Attorney
Chase and Sheriff Wright were here
from Jamestown investigating the
robbery. 1t was suspected that
the guilty parties, three in num-
ber, had been hanging around
town the day before, there being
several suspicious characters here
then, one man making couple or
purchases about town and paying
for them in postage stamps. Con-
stable MOug and Marshal Wellhaus-
en- got trace of the parties suspect;
ed, they being located near Cleve-
land, and autoed down and succeed
ed in arresting one of them. he
having gone into Cleveland ITO buy
something to eat and paying for the
same in. stamps, just, as he had
done here. The other two could
not be found at that time. The
one arrested was taken to James
town and given into the custody
Of the sheriff. A, search OF. the N.
r.. right of way near Cleveland re-
suited in the finding of the stolen
shoes, but there is no trace Of the
other missing property. Mr.. Zinck
has not been called upon to identi-
fy the man arrested, but there. is
mo doubt but that the authorities
have the right man, as it is report
ed that he has confessed to having
shand in the robbery.

The Orton Bros. circus which
gave two performances in Bowbells
on Saturday and in Coteau on
Monday drew very small crowd
and the performing was punk. The
show in the first place was not
properly advertised and very few
people from the country came in.
The showing made at the grounds
was also poor and many who went
as far as the tent with the inten-
tion of going in changed their
minds when they saw the equip
ment carried by the show people.

congratulate himself upon the result
Of the decision OF the jury.
The testimony in the case was
about as rank as could be. imagined,

that the court forbid further, ques-

probable that many years will pass
before there will be one which will
compare to It.
