First Liquor Sentence
for Many Years Just
Dealt Out in Hetdngel

Mott, N. D., Dec. 6.-Last week was
q busy one for our sheriff and states
attorneys Offices. Sheriff Barth and
States Attorney Crane took two prls'
oners to Dickinson, as they both knew
that the officers had the goods on
shem and wanted to plead guilty so as
10 have their sentence started at once,
Morris O'Neil who was one of the
men picked up here at Mott with
Clark Bailey, with large amount OF
liquor in their possession, was SEN
senced to 80 days in the county Jail
with fine of 5000. O'Neil stated to
Judge Crawford and States Attorney
Crane that Clark Bailey, who was just
q boy, had nothing whatever to do
with the deal and he agreed to take
his medicine if they would let the boy
of.
The other man to plead guilty and
receive sentence was Fred Davis who
vas caught selling liquor out of a
bottle at Regent. He received 80 days
in the county Jail with a fine of $500.
This makes the first convictions in
Hettinger county for violation of the
state liquor laws for many year and
the present states attorney is to be
congratulated upon the able manner
in which he is conducting the office.
James Rogers, the man who is want
ed for touching up his partner in the
Barry hotel and whom Sheriff Barth
brought back from South Dakota a
few weeks ago, gave bonds the past
week and is now at liberty. He will
have to appear in the next term of the
district court.
At the Plunket homestead foreign
er who had been working on the
threshing rig Of the Plunket boys for
the past two weeks, became. enraged
at his employers and started to clean
Nd all with whom he came in contact
with. Before he was overpoWered ne
gut up quite badly both John and Will
liam Plunket. While those present
were given attention to the two boys
the man started off towards Odessa
and was not captured until he had
made about six miles, when a number
of farmers in that neighborhood over
took him and delivered him over to
the sheriff's office.
Both the Plunket boys were injured
and Doctors Redman and Rucker OF
Mott were called to dress their
wounds. The man has been held here

Albert Holland Was
Burned by Electricity

Fargo, Dec. 7.-Albert Holland, OF
the Holland Wild Oats Separator Co.,
was severely burned on Saturday even.
ing by electricity as he turned out an
electric light at his shop at 1921 Front
street. The fact that Mr.. Holland was
standing on a dry pine floor probably
accounts for the fact that he was not
killed or very seriously injured. AS it
is his left hand is frightfully burned,
two of the nails on that hand being
burned to crisp by the spark which
rendered Mr.. Holland unconscious for
some little time.
The accident happened on Saturday
evening as Mr.. Holland was getting
ready to close the shop. He had been
using an electric light, which was in
an ordinary socket on a drop cord and
had reached up to turn the light out
when he received the shock. Just
what the cause of the spark was is
not known but it is evident that there
was short circuit somewhere that
resulted in his getting a part of the
current. He was standing on a dry
floor and was not near any other met
al at the time and this seems to be
the reason that the accident did not
result more seriously, or fatally.
The injury will make it impossible
for Mr.. Holland to make much use of
his left hand for some time

There have been various official
