THE LAND Of
FLOWING WELLS
NO FEWER THAN THIRTY-FIVE
FINE VALUABLE FLOWING
WELLS IN FARMING DISTRICT
SOUTH OF DES Laos, N. D.

Lying in an egg shaped district ex-
tending from the northwest to the
southeast, south from Des Lacs, are no
less than 35 flowing wells, worth to
the farmers in the neighborhood of
$4,000, for conservative estimate
places each farm with one of those
wells worth in the neighborhood of a
couple of thousand dollars more than
other farms.
The wells vary from 115 to 200 feet
deep. Analysis shows that the water
in them is all practically the same and
it is colored alike, from the carbon in
the coal deposits underlying the sur
face. Some of it has the color of
whiskey and all is strong in soda, be-
ing nice and soft. Some of the wells
will throw water 80 feet high. On the
Nels Pearson farm, there is we'll
that flows only when the skies are
cloudy.
Among those having flowing wells
we mention the following:
Henry Gunter, Lew Weatherwax
Albert Spicher, VIM. Hussey, L. S

TRAIN TO
/. 7, LEAVE M|NOT FOR
4 EQUITY CONVENTION
HUNDREDS WILL LEAVE THE
CITY MONDAY AFTERNOON,
DEC. s, AT 5 O'CLOCK OVER
THE SOO-WILL STOP AT
POINTS ENROUTE.

A special train will leave Minot
Monday afternoon at o'clock, Dec.
6, over the 500 for st. Paul, for the
Equity Exchange Grain Growers
convention which will be in session in
that city Dec. to 9. The train will
be one of the best ever run over the
500 and hundreds of farmers and
members of their families and scores
Of businessmen from Minot will board
it. The train will stop at several
points enroute to pick up others wish
ing to attend the convention.
Grant S. Youmans rendered his
check for 1868, which insures the
special train. Those leaving on it
may return whenever they please.
A hundred businessmen from Minot
are expected to ride to st. Paul on
this train to meet with the ten thous-
and farmers gathered from all sec
fraternize with those farmers and tell
them all about Minot, with the ulti-
mate object of landing that packing
plant.
We publish the letter sent by Grant
S. Youmans to the 500 line travelling
agent, which gives considerable infor-
nation relative to the train:
j Minot, N D., Dec. 1st, 1915.
Mr.. J. A. Sheeran, Travelling Agent,

Market and Farmers Terminal Eleva-
tor at st. Paul, Minnesota, and for a
Farmers Equity packing plant for the
State of North, Dakota. u..
As we have a, great many friends
along your line, it would be agreeable

Thanking you for the hearty COOP
Grafton the 500 Line has given this
movement, and feeling sure that the
success of this Special Train, the
Equity Convention, and everything
connected with them, will prove of

the farmers as we'll in this part of the
State. beg to remain,
Respectfully,

NORMAN SCHMIDT
SHOT IN FIGHT
WITH CREEKS
WELL KNOWN BRAKEMAN IN
HOSPITAL WITH BULLET
WOUND IN SHOULDER - SAYS
THREE GREEKS ATTEMPTED
TO HOLD HIM UP.

Norman Schmidt, brakeman on
the Fargo-Mino cutoff, is in the hos
pital as q result of an encounter with
three Greeks in the east end Of the
G. N. yards in this city Saturday ev-
ening. Schmidt's head was pounded
to jelley and he is suffering from a
bullet wound in the shoulder, the bull
let entering on the top of his shoul-
der, inside the joint, passing down to
near the lower end of the shoulder
blade. The Greeks have been arrested
and are out on $100 bonds. Schmidt
was also placed under arrest.
There are conflicting reports as to
the cause of the trouble, but from
what the Independent can gather,
Schmidt will have little trouble in
proving his innocence. He says that
when his train arrived in the city Sat-
urday evening, he turned the switch
and headed the train onto the long
lead. In doing this he lost his watch
and after supper he returned to look
for the watch, finding it. While en-
route back to town, he declares he
was held up by the three Greeks,
George and Teddy Foshoff and Vancho
Voshoff, the last named being no rel
ative of the brothers. He says that
one of the Greeks pulled young
cannon, striking him over the head
with it and in the fight that followed,
in some manner he was shot thru the
shoulder. He had no money, having
left it in his trunk. He says the
Greeks carried him to the yard office,
where they left word that an attempt
had been made to rob them.
Schmidt has worked for the G: N.
for three years. His conductor, c. A.
Billingsby, man of excellent reputa-
ton, says Schmidt is a fine, steady
Young man and he would stake any:
thing he has in the world that he did
not attempt to hold up the Greeks.
Schmidt bears an excellent reputa-
ton not only in Minot, but in New
Rockford, in both of which cities he
has lived. He is member OF the b
Of r. T. and that organization has
employed an attorney and will fight
the action to the limit. The members
Of that organization are highly In
censed because Schmidt has been
charged with the crime, for they real
ize that he is not guilty OF such

EVERY MEMBER of the commit
tee, and everyone connected with the
management of the League affairs is

Wife OF A RICE
LAKE FARMER IS
BURNED TO DEATH
CAN CONTAINING KEROSENE
FALLS ONTO HOT STOVE CAUS-
ING DEATH OF MRS. STEPHEN
PlTTS--DIED IN MINOT HOSPI-
tai.

terrible accident occurred near
Rice Lake Wednesday afternoon when
Mrs. Stephen Pitts, wife of we'll
known farmer, suffered burns from
which she died within a few hours.
Mrs. Pitts was brought to Minot with
IN short time after the accident,
passing away at St. Joseph's hospital.
Mr.. Pitts has been i'll in St. Jo-
seph's hospital in this city for several
weeks, Mrs. Pitts being left with the
four children to look after the farm.
A baking powder can containing about
SIX ounces of kerosene had been left
on the warming oven and Mrs. Pitts,
IN attempting to get something from
the top of the oven, knocked the can
over onto the hot stove. The kero-
sene exploded instantaneously, the
flames being thrown all about the
frantic woman. Her clothing was
neary y all burned from her body. The
hired man, G. A. Jorgenson, managed
to put out the fire, but in doing so, his
hands were painfully burned.
Nelghbors were notified and a doc
tor was summoned from Minot. The
woman was taken from her home to
brady in a sleigh by Julius Hanson
and Mr.. Hillesland and from there was
brot to the city in an auto. When the
sleigh arrived at brady Mrs. Pitts
was more dead than alive. She suffer-
ed terribly but her agnoy was partial
ly relieved by means of opiates.
The remains will probably be sent
to her old home in the east for burial.
Relatives were notified last night by
wire ?
Mrs. Pitts was 35 years of age. She
had lived in Ward county several
years and had endeared herself to
many. The husband and children have
the sincere sympathy of everybody.

PNEUMONIA WHILE ON VISIT
in THIS CITY.
.IY1 IfPF 40 q 10 =.

Mrs. Mary A. Person, mother of
Major E. S. Person and Mrs. Abbie
Stenersen of this city, died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Stenersen,
at IL o'clock Tuesday night, following
a short illness from pneumonia. The
remains will be taken to the old home,
Zumbrota, Minn., this afternoon, for
interment. They are to be accompan-
led by Mr.. and Mrs. Person, Mrs.
Stenersen, v. E. Stenersen, and Rev.
P. W. Erickson, pastor Of the Presby.
terian church of this city, who will
have charge of the funeral services.
He will be assisted by one of the Zum-
brota pastors. The funeral will be
held Friday afternoon. Short services
were held at the home Of Mrs. Stem
ersen this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Person came to this city sew
eral weeks ago to visit with her chill
dren and to spend Thanksgiving with
them. She enjoyed her usual good
health that day and pleasant day
full of pleasant memories was the re-
suit. The following day she attended
a meeting of the Presbyterian Ladies'
Aid but complained of being slightly
ill and shortly after, became quite sick.
She declined rapidly from then on,
physicians giving up all hope shortly
after noon Wednesday.
Mrs. Person had often visited in
this city, but enjoyed living most at
her old Minnesota home, where she
had resided since 1858.
Mrs. Person was born at Thomas

was quite young her parents died and
she made her home with an uncle,

ed in marriage to George Person, who
died in 1907. She has lived continu-
ously at Zumbrota ever since. Mrs.
Person had spent her entire life do
ing kind deeds for others. She was
noted for her charitable deeds to the
poor. Her home was most hospit-
able place and hundreds of old friends
in Minnesota will sincerely mourn.
She made a great many friends in
Minot during her visits here who are
exceedingly sad to learn Of her death.
She had intended to leave today for
her home.
Mrs. Person is survived by two
children, Mrs. Stenersen and Major
Person. A younger son died some
years ago. She leaves the following
grand children: Mrs. j. r. Pence, v.
