where he planned to work during the

watch the train and last night De-
tective Toewe and Bradley caused

West denies the charges made
against him and claims that there IA
a misunderstanding. He says that the
girl just went to- the train and rode
as far as Mason, where she told him
she was going to visit friends. The
fact that he was leaving for the west
caused the alarm that he was takine
the girl with him, said West.

OPENING OF .
COAL LANDS

Ryder, N. D, Aug. 10.-The coal
lands on the Berthold re~vervation will
be thrown open to settlement between
now and March l.. 1t may possibly be
done late this fall but in any event
they will be opened in time for settlers
to do some work early next spring.
Under the provisions of the bill for
permitting the settlers to take the coal
reserve lands, an appraisement COM
mittee is to be named within twenty
days from July 20. This committee
will make it's valuations Of the lands
and the department will then arrange
for the opening.
As the appraisement for the other
lands on the reservation was regarded
in excess of the real value it is probable
that the valuation on the coal lands
may be somewhat less, although they
are regarded as the most fertile on the
reservation.
The opening Of the coal lands to
settlement will be a great boon to- the
reservation and will not only insure
it's rapid settlement, but 1t Is expected
1t will result in the early construction
of the Great Northern across the reser-
walton. The 500 is now at work on its
reservation extension.

STRANGE ACT

EE#
Dickinson, N. d.. Aug. 10.-Fred Mol
tie, a h~omesteader near Fayette, is held
here pending an examination as to
his sanity. Purchasing two automatic
.revolvers at a local hardware store he
went to the First National bank and,
pointing the guns at the head of CASH
Ter r. II. Johnson, stated; Il want
those checks of mine. The cashier
noted the man was evidently insane
and began to parley with him. finally
succeeding in getting Nolte to leave
the building and later causing his ar
rest. 1t developed that Nolte had Civ
en- checks at the hardware store in
payment of the guns and wanted to
secure those. AS the checks had not
reached the bank it was impossible
for him to secure them there. The
man is evidently irrational and may
have been affected by a sunstroke.
