THE REASON WHY

Many good people ask why IL IL that
men who are honorable, upright law
abiding citizens have no scruples in
violation OF the game laws. Any
other kigd of law infraction would
set very heavy upon the conscience Of
this class but an Infraction Of the game
laws don seem 70 bother them at all.
The rea son for this can undoubtedly
be found in the low estimate which
public opinion has put upon the game
legislation in general It's relic OF
the old notification doctrine. The
legislation in numerous instances is
so silly and treakisb tnat the people
simply laugh at IL and ignore it, an
improper condition but one that is a
natural ou9growth ef some silly legis

following item relative 10 the law

Thompson, manager OF the west

the game and fish laws by allowing

several skunks, otherwise known as

The convicts discovered a den Of
skunks on the prison farm short

dug the animals ont and penned them

George Lord the Wayne County Tax
expert, makes q point in his letter
opposing the proposed tonnage tax
that 10 worthy of more than passing
notice. The purpose OF the tax is, OF
course. TO relieve the tax burden on
those supporting the proposed measure.
by making the mines pay double tax
these people hope some of their own
taxes will be sloughcd OF. Here is
what Mr., Lord saws on this point
The question might we'll be asked
who would benefit by the enactment
of this so called tonnage tax" bill.
/ do not hesitate 20 say that, In my
opinion, no one would reap any benefit
and that the state in general especially
the upper peninsula of the state, would
suffer because OF it's enactment Certain
10 liz that neither the farmer. the
laborcr, or any other individual would
pay one farthing less In taxes should
shis bill ever become law.
My experience in government affairs
has taught me that whenever a new
source OF revenue is found there is at
the same time, new way found oil
spending IL. either by the creation OF
new departments OF government, OF
additional offices and institutions. On
the other hand. should this additional
burden be levied against the property
of the mining companies, il surely
would result in retarding the develop
ment Of our mining industry.

MARTIN POSSE KILLS
FLEEING COLORED MAN
WHO HAD. SHOT WHITE

Harvey, N. D., Nov. 9.-James Hen
ry, colored, is dead and C. R. Cady, a
white man, is expected to die as a re-
suit of street gun fight at Martin, a
little town on the 500 north of here.
Cady is in a hospital with a bullet
wound in his jaw. Henry was shot
down while attempting to escape from
a posse of Martin citizens.
The double shooting grew out of a
drinking bout. An argument between
several white men was progressing
when the negro attempted to take
part. He was ordeerd out of town by
several of the whites, and the order
met with display Of firearms, the ne
gro daring anybody to put the order
into effect.
Cady, a Harvey business man, tried
to force the negro to leave and was
shot in the head.
The negro fled and a posse of cit
zens was organized hastily to chase
him.
Just as the negro was about to en-
ter barn at the outskirts Of the town
he received a full charge of buckshot
in the side of the head, dying within
few minutes. =,
An inquest will be held tomorrow,
but it is believed that there will be no
prosecution. Several members of the
posse pursuing the negro fired at
about the same time and it has been
impossible to determine who brought
the man down.
Later: Cody died Tuesday.

Drowned Saving Girls Life.

Miss Jessie Evens of Garrison
writes to Minot friends of the tragic
death of Roy Torgerson, a COW boy,
who saved her life. Miss Evens says
a steer had thrown her down and was
kicking the life out of her, when Tor
person rode up. He roped the steer,
but the animal jerked the saddle from
the pony and dragged saddle and rider
into the Missouri. Torgerson's leg
was caught in the rope. He was
laughing as the steer pulled him cut
into the water and just before the
steer went down, dragging Torgerson
with him, Miss Evens asked the rid
er's name. "Roy Torgerson," was the
reply. As he went down the young
man shouted, "Break the news to
mother"
Torgerson was in Minot recently
and stayed for time at the A. J. An
derson farm ~ miles northeast Of Mi
not. He left here week ago Monday,
intending to visit friends at Turtle
Lake. .r

men AND WOMEN
IN DRACNET
FOUR WELL KNOWN WOMEN
AND THREE MALE COMPAN-
IONS FINED SIS AND COSTS
FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT
MAIN WITNESS GOT AWAY.

The police rounded up four women
and three men in house on River

duct.
They appeared before Judge Lynch

The following were arrested: Hat
tie Barlow Kaiser Stella Francis,
Clara Warren, Alice Miller, Curley
Morris, Earl Armstrong and H. S.
Cook.
Cook is said t. be a former railroad
man. His fine was paid by Hattie
Kaiser.
Ruth Sherman, former friend of
the women, got into row with Stella
Francis the ether night, and she de-
clares that Stella gave her black
eye. The women had evidently been
drinking. The Sherman woman, in or
der to get even, swore out complaint
but had gone to Minneapolis before

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO.

1t is important that women should
realize their interest in a town or city.
In many towns there is gross negli-
gence to public interest on the part Of
the men. They are inclined to pass up
abuses as necessary evils. Now and
then they take a hop, step and jump
at reform, and then forget all about it
for few years.
Women are not that way. They
have way Of staying interested. If
they undertake to regulate certain at
fairs of the community they usually
stay on the job. There is the necleus
of an important woman's organization
for civic purposes in every community.
Literary clubs, church societies,
neighborhood "crowds," could take a
little of their time each meeting to dis
cuss the affairs of their neighborhood.
It ought to be easy to combine the ef-
forts of these ready-made organiza-
tions. BY federating into a women's
general improvement association they
could accomplish wonders.

TASkFR BOY
DIES SUDDENLY
STANLEY SOLOMON, l5.YEAR-
OLD SON OF MINER, STRICKEN
WHILE HUNTING RABBITS,
Special to the Independent

Special to the Independent:
Tasker, Nov. 9, 1914.-Stanley Sol
ONION, fifteen-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Solomon of this place, was
buried today, the interment taking
place at Foxholm.
Young Solomon arose Thursday
morning feeling in the best of health
and went rabbit hunting. While out
hunting he had several attacks that,
as nearly as the doctor could learn
from the way the boy described them,
were of an epileptic nature. He was
brot to Burlington, where DR.. Christie
made an examination, prescribed for
him, and the day following the at
tacks occurred again and before the
doctor could reach his bedside the end
had come.
Whatever the cause of death was is
mysterious in that no fact could be
adduced in the diagnosis to which so
sudden a death could be attributed.
Mr.. Solomon is a hard working min
er employed at the mines of the Nc
Clure Coal Co., and the death of the
lad is sad blow to the sorrowing par
ents.
Stanley was an only child and had
been in this country but short time.

NOTORfD 497 MILES
IN One DAY
L. c. EBY BREAKS ALL RECORDS
BY TRAVELLING FROM MINOT
NEARLY TO WYOMING IN %
HOURS WITH rs BUICK.

Mr.. and Mrs. L. C. Eby returned re-
GENTLY from 22OO mile trip down into
Wyoming, which they made in new
Model 25 Buick, being away eleven
days. 49,
The first day they travelled 497
miles in 81 hours running time, altho
they were on the road % hours. They
were once stuck in mud hole and
then stopped for their meals and to
take on oil. During the 497 miles, the
engine did not stop once, and used but
70 gallons of gasoline, three quarts of
cylinder oil and half a gallon of water.
They visited Williston, Glendive,
Niles City, Forsyth, Billings, Cody,
Wyom. At that place they made a
journey up the grand canyon to the
Cody ranch, where they found "Buf-
falo Bill" engaged in a moving picture
project. He had engaged hundred
cowboys and $50 Indians.
They visited Meeteesee, the oldest
town in Wyoming, still an inland
place. They went across the Rockies
to Thermopolys, where the famous hot
springs are located. At Bason, they
found natural oil, gas and artesian
wells, hot and cold water. Here are
many orchards with fine apples rotting
on the ground. They visited the Gus
ter battle filed, where monuments
stand where brave men fell.
Mr.. Eby's feat for one days journey
is a record breaker as far as this Sec
tion of the country is concerned. He
is regarded as one of the best drivers
in the business and the record speaks
well for the car that he handles.
