OLD SETTLERS PLAN PICNIC
Wells County Union To Meet Al Fes.
sender to Elect Officers and Com
pIete Arrangements.

Fessenden.-Old settlers of Wells
county are urgently requested to be
present at meeting In Fessenden at
the Fessenden club room. Election Of
officers will be held and other bust
ness attended to.
Sec. H. F. speiser of the Wells CO
unity Old Settlers union had called q
previous meeting, but owing to the
busy season or for other causes the at
tendance was very small and 1t was
decided that another day be selected
and a public notice given as to when
the annual election of of.cers would
take place.
The union was first organized in
1911 and has since then attempted to
hold picnics, one in conjunction with
the fair and another year on the same
day Of the Woodmen picnic at Sykes
ton, but it is now proposed to plan an
old settlers picnic Independent Of
other events, thus centering the inter-
est for q day ON the old settlers pic
mic alone.
The other officers Of the. union are
Geo. Brynjulson, president, and T. l..
Quarve. vice president. The union has
some $50 in its treasury, amply suf-
fictent to finance picinc for the old
timers and it is hoped that plans will
be perfected at the meeting, to ar
range for picnic some time this sum-

FARGO cRlTIcIzEs soLoNs
Believes Heavy Penalties in Mime.
sofa Would Be Boon to Enforce
ment Advocates In N. o.

Observation-Disclosures of Fargo are
taking stock to ascertain what effect
the closing Of saloons in Moorhead
will have locally. Many foresee large
numbers Of blindpigs In this city and
q regular epidemic Of bootlegging, but
because Of the heavy penalties for
such violations under the North Da-
kota law these offenses may be fewer
than anticipated.
Blindpiggers can be fined from $500
to $1,000 and sent to Jail for 80 days
to IL months for the first offense and
to the state penitentiary for convic-
lions on second offense. Bootleggers
get six months. These heavy penal
ties have discouraging effect on vio-
lators Of the prohibition law and only
the most irresponsible class will tao
kle the business when they know the
officials will enforce the penalties.
This is especially true of the Fargo
district, where Judge Pollock, the IA
Their Of the North Dakota prohibition
Law, presides.
Local merchants are confident they
will do more cash business with the
closing Of the Moorhead saloons. This
should be especially true of meat mar
kets and grocery stores.

Want Old Rate. Reln.tatsd.

Observation-Disclosures operating in
North Dakota will insist that the lig-
mite coal rate maintained prior to the
time the rates of 1907 were made eff
fective. and which recently were de-
clared confiscatory, be reinstated.
This position of the railroad COM
panies has been placed before the
state railroad commission. and that
body is now engaged in study of the
rate problem.
1t is hardly probable that the state
commission will accept the old rate,
but will, instead, order a new rate,
probably about half way between the
legislative rates and the prior rates.
The railroad companies contend
that they must have the former rate
in order to handle the business at q
profit.

FISHING COYOTES NEW SPORT
Former St. Pau, Man Describes Mod.
ern Method Of Earning Bounty
Money in Fiickertail state.

Misunderstanding coyotes is a new
sport that is winning favor among
Western North Dakota ranchers, and
the idea originated with former st.
Paul man. c. A. A)strom, who year
ago moved to ranch along the new
Northern Pacific line from Mandan
to Kildeer. Mr.. Alstrom described
to friends the modern method Of earn
ing bounty money in the Flickertail
State.
In past years the ranchers either
smoked the baby coyotes out Of their
dens or they dug them out. This re-
quired considerable time and was not
always successful. Mr.. Alstrom hit on
the idea of attaching a strong hook
and wire to a pole and deliberately
fishing the young coyotes out of the
holes.
1--WE crawl into the den as far as
necessary and with the aid of light
we hook the coyotes" explained Al
strom. '"They fight hard against COM
ing out, but they have to come, and
one blow over the head. once they
are out of the cave, ends them"
Hunting full-grown coyotes on horse
back also is described as great sport
by Alstrom. In ordinary seasons it
is profitable, too. as the state pays a
bounty of $3.50 OH each animal killed
and the hide sometimes brings $6.

BIG BLOW TO EQUITY DEFENSE
Testimony Of II. NJ. Hsndrickson 10
Like OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Zorro.
horativs Of Alleged Insolvency

Fargo.-A feature OF the proceedings
In the Equity Cooperative exchange
hearing. was the oral testimony of H.
N. Hendrickson. farmers elevator
man OF simcoe, N. d. 1t was learned
that he was in Fargo in an effort to
eject settlement with the exchange
omcials and Attorney General Linde
issued subpoena for his appearance.
Hendrickson kept out of the way for
about "a hours but was finally located.
He testified that three drafts on the
Equity Cooperative exchange, aggre-
eating over $4,000, were returned rro.
tested. There were recent attempts
to settle claims 70 something like $25..
900 his elevator company held against
the Equity Cooperative exchange Of
st. Paul.
Big Blow to Defense.
HIS testimony was something of
Dombshell for the defense. 1t devel.
oped that Hendrickson had been able,
to arrange partial settlement with
the Equity officials by which the mon
ey would be deposited with bank in
st. Paul but should not be drawn out
until after the conclusion of the pre-
sent hearing. Hendrickson's testimony
was startlingly corroborative Of the all
egations of insolvency brought against
the exchange in the action by Attor-
ney General Linde and was entirely
unexpected.
With view of making good the al
legged impairment of the capital stock
OF the Equity Cooperative Exchange,
$4,000 was subscribed by a number Of
enthusiastic stockholders of the ex-
change. One Of the features of the
attack on the exchange and one of the
reasons asked for the appointment of q
receiver is the assertion of the direc-
tors that the organization has wasted
the capital stock and has constantly
lost money on grain deals.

brought to bear on some Of the men,

down. The friends of local applicants
were bitterly disappointed that Police
Commissioner Dahl had gone outside
the city and state to select a man
for the place. No one doubts the
ability of the former head of the Du-
luth police force to make good here,
the criticism is not directed against
him personally, but because of the
fact some Of the numerous local ap-
plicants were not given the position.
