WILL MAKE
HENS LAY

Decatur, H., Jan. 27-W. O. Kiz-
er of Decatur believes he has found an
effective way of making hens Law in
the winter time. At least, his exper-
lment brought results in his flock of
a dozen hens. Kizer placed a
Christmas tree in his hen house and
to his surprise the next day found a
nest under the tree with five eggs in
it. On Friday he found four more,
and he is a firm believer in Christmas
trees for poultry as well as persons.
He is at a loss to understand Just why
the tree had the desired effect, but
some of his neighbors have said that
possibly the turpentine in the tree ev-
aporating the air and breathed by the
chickens was the cause. "I still have
two more Christmas trees" said Kizer
and when it dries up I put another in
the hen house. I think I have dis
covered something, or, at least, my
experiment has proven worth while"

MRS. 0. N. DION
CALLED BEYOND
FUNERAL SERVICES FROM ST.
JOSEPH'S CHURCH IN THIS
CITY TODAY

Monday, FEBRUARY 1, at about p.
m., at the family residence nea.
Grand Harbor, occurred the death Of
Mrs. o. N. Dion, aged 81 years, s
months and 8 days Mrs. Dion had
been sick for some time. and had been
confined to her bed since last July, and
while everything that loving hands
and medical skill could do had been
done to nurse her back to health, she
passed away as above stated. The
funeral services were held at 11:00 a.
m. today from St. Joseph's Catholic
church in this city, and the remains
were followed to their last resting
place by a large concourse of sorrow-
ing friends and relatives.
The deceased was born in Abbots-
ford, Quebec, Can, and came to North
Dakota about five years ago. She
was married to o. N. Dion November
"a, 1910. Besides sorrowing hus-
band and a little four months old
daughter she leaves a father and
mother who live in Abbotsford, four
sisters and one brother to mourn.
She was fine christian woman and
was honored and respected by all who
knew her and her death has cast a
gloom over the whole community. The
sorrowing relatives have the heartfelt
sympathy of all in their hour Of sor-
row.

FIRE Demon VISITS CITY
. NEW CLERUM BLOCK CUTTED
L.. z. DAWSON AND PHOTO SHOP
SUFFER TOTAL LOSS IN EAR
LY MORNING BLAZE
EIGHTEEN TENANTS DRIVEN
OUT INTO THE COLD-ORIG-
IN OF FIRE UNKNOWN

Thursday morning last at about 200
a. m. the fire alarm was turned in
and the fire proved to be in the hand
some new Glerum block, which was
completed only last fall. This build
ing was occupied in one of the double
stores by l.. P. Dawson as pool
room and wholesale cigar store.
Photographer Peterson occupied a
part Of the second floor, while the bal
ance of the second and third stories
was occupied by tenants living in flats.
It was only short time before the
fire laddies were on the ground and
working like trojans to extinguish the
blaze, which started in the basement
next to the furnace, but it was one Of
the most Stubborn fires which has ever
been fought by the department, and
slowly but surely the flames kept WORK
ing up until the west half of the build
ing was gutted from basement to
roof. All tenants got safely out with
most of their movables, but nearly all
lost some. Probably the heaviest
loser is L. P. Dawson who had the
finest pool and billiard patlots in the
city, and also was a wholesaler Of
cigars and had large stock on hand.
His loss is over $4,000 with not a cent
of insurance. Photographer Peterson
lost his complete outfit and his loss
will be over 81 900 with no insurance.
The Glerum block was one of the
finest in the city and had been recent
ly completed. Mr.. Glerum carried
$4,000 on the building and s70O on
the bowling alleys in the basement.
The fire is supposed to have started
from defective wiring, and after it
was discovered the firemen had to
work for nearly two hours before they
could locate the exact spot where It
was. The Brennan block adjoining
and occupied by the New York store
was in great danger and at one time
the fire broke through and it was with
great effort that this building was
saved. The New York store has a
loss from smoke, and has been closed
this week for an adjustment.
The fact that the firemen worked
faithfully for nearly ten hours before
the fire was entirely extinguished and
yet they were able to confine it to prac
tically the west half of he building
goes to show something of the stub
bornness Of the blaze.
1t was one of the most costly fires
that has ever visited Devils Lake and
the losers have the sympathy of all
in their heavy financial loss.

The most vicious falsehood is the fol
lowing statement: "The taxpayers in
the vicinity Of Starkweather will re-
member the former assistant states
attorney as the individual who tried
to present the prosecution Of deputy
game warden Gull last summer after
cowardly and brutal attack upon
prominent local citizen, because it
would bring the law enforcement Of
fcers into ridicule and thus impair
their efficiency
The editor of the Starkweather
Times knows that this was falsehood
and published it to cast reflection up
on Mr.. Smythe knowing it to be an
absolute falsehood. I make these
charges upon the statement of Judge
Buttz who tells me he wrote the editor
in full the circumstances with REFER
ehce to the Gull matter. Lwill briefly
state them.
Last summer Mr.. Gull was deputy
game warden and was not known to
either Mr.. Smythe or myself person.
ally, and had some trouble with
Starkweather citizen growing out OF a
demand to see his license. AS I get
the facts, during the alteration there
were some hot words passed, and Mr..
Gull struck the aforesaid citizen, and
was promptly arrested and taken be-
fore justice of the peace in or near
Starkweather without an authorize
tion by the states attorneys office.
This as everyone knows is contrary to
law, which says that warrant shall
not be issued without the authorize
tion of the states attorney, except in
cases where justice has good cause
to believe that the defendant will es-
cape. No sane man claims that the
justice believed that MA. Gull would
attempt to escape, nor did he comply
with the law making the endorsement
required. The writer was away on a
vacation at the time, and Mr.. Gull
came to Devils Lake and interviewed
Judge Buttz who came with Mr.. Gull
to the office and introduced NJ. Gull
to Mr.. Smythe and requested Mr..
Smythe to do exactly what he did do
namely, to call pthe justice and re.
quest that action be dismissed as the
prosecution was not authorized by the
proper law officer, until the matte,
could be properly investigated. Mr..
Smythe did what he did at the sugges
tion of the District Judge. This fac
was known to the editor Of thu
Starkweather Times, and also to thu
editor of the Devils Lake Journal whit
has been bus yever since trying to re
fleet upon Mr.. Smythe for the actor
he took in the matter.
I haven't the slightest criticism
of the conduct of Judge Buttz. Hi
conduct was perfectly proper and jus
titled under the law and facts. 1

FORD BUILDING IN FARGO

No statement was given out by him

To the Editor of The World,
Devils Lake, N. Dak.,
noor Sir.

Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to an
editorial under date of January 22nd,
1915, in the Starkweather Times en-
titled "Good Move" wherein the edi-
tor seeks to justify the action Of the
board Of county commissioners in re-
fusing to allow salary for the as
sistant states attorney by the present
democratic board. I am not finding
any fault, as expected it. The ac-
tion of the democratic members of the
board of county commissioners was
not done because of the desire to save
the tax payers of the county any
money, but was done because Mr.
Smythe has taken personal interest
in opposing Mr.. Blooms candidacy
for the local post office. The action
was not justified under any circum-
the States Attorney justifies a salary
of twice what is paid. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that there is more work
in this county than all of he other
counties in the district put together,
and the records will demonstrate this,
it is the only county in the district
that does not allow either Office rent
or stenographer hire. This county
pays about half Of what is paid in
other counties where the work is equal
to that of Ramsey county. However, I
am not complaining Of this, nor of the
action of the democratic commission
ers. Three men who will take an oath
of office and then stultify themselves
by reducing the salary of Republican
deputies ten dollars a month, practic-
ally all of them married men with
families, putting them on salary
basis which means a mere existence
deserve no space in a newspaper.
Silent contempt is too good for them.
I do object to the falsehood contain
ed in the editorial, and which was
known. to be falsehood by the editor
at the time he wrote it. The editorial
says: "There has always been more
business requiring the attention of the
states attorney than at present. u
This is absolutely false, and can be
easily demonstrated by the records
There never has been time in the
history of the county when there has
been more work than during my in.
cumbency, either civil or crimina mlat.
ters. Further, there never has beer
time when there has been as much
work, succeeding legislatures enactine
many laws containing the clause "ane
it shall be the duty Of the states at.
torney, etc."
. The editor goes on that the reduc.
ing of the work Of the states attor
nov's offico has heen due to the faa
that the law enforcement officers o:
Devils Lake have been more active al
attentive to their duties during th'
past two years, than previous to tha
time, and by reason Of the fact tina
many of the undesirable character
have been forced to leave the city
This, believe, is an absolute false
hood, and ask the editor Of the Stark
weather Times to name the men VIII
have done this work, and also nam
, any single undesirable character tina
, has been forced to leave the city.

CHALLENGES

NIINOT ATTORNEY WANTS TO
KNOW-CLAIMS IRREGULAR
ITY IN DRAWING JURY

When the case of Hobert Rosecrans
was called in district court this fore
noon Attorney D. G. Greenleat Of
Minot, filed challenge to the entire
panel of jurymen, claiming that the
present jury is not regularly drawn.
To sustain his contention he put Clerk
of Court Stenseth on the stand and
asked several questions as to the
drawing and discharging of the jury
called in November, and also the call
ing of the present jury. His motion
was overruled by Judge Buttz and the
case proceeded. Evidently Mr.. Green
leaf was making a record in case he
should want to appeal the case.

RESULTS IN VERDICT FOR
DEFENDANT

Since going to press last week the
only case to come up in district court
which is in session in this city, is the
case of Dan v. Brennan and Ray
Young VS.. Abe Calof, this case hav-
ing taken from last Friday until today
noon. This is a case wherein Bren-
nan and Young seek to recover about
81 400 in commission under claim OF
contract to sell Calof's farm in Over
land township. While. they never
sold the farm they claim that it was
Calof's fault land Calof's contention is
that he was ready and willing to sell
but Brennan and his partner Young
never came through with any money,
and after waiting some time he finally
sold his land to A. j. Carlson. This
case consumed about six days and at
times was rather sensational. Bren-
nan and Young were represented by
Silver Serumgard, M. H. Brennan and
D, v. Brennan and Calof, the defend
ant had Attorneys j. F. Cowan and
II. S. Blood. The following jurors
sat in the case: P. S. Anderson, Hen
nv Anderson, Chas. Hollinger, r. a.
Miller, Norman Nelson, Alfred Dahl,
Halvor Thoe, John Stewart, G. A.
Lee, Thos. Holden, Martin Krogfos
and John Sagvang. The case was
given to the jury about 1890 this fore
noon and after, being out about three
hours brought in a verdict for the de-
fendant Calof.
The next case called was the state
of North Dakota VS.. Rosecrans, this
case coming from McHenry county
and the defendant Hobert Rosecrans
is charged with assault with danger
GUS weapon with intent to kill. At
torneys Cuthbert of this city and Uls-
