Pioneer Found Dead On
Road Near Bismarck

Bismark, Sept. 9.-The lifeless body
of Willard S. Dawson, Burleigh coun-
ty pioneer, was discovered late yester-
day afternoon, lying in the road near
his farm, about six miles southeast of
the city. No evidence OF foul play was
visible, and the supposition is that
|Dawson suffered a stroke while COM
ing to town, and fell from the rig
while he was driving.
The body was discovered between
5 and o'clock in the afternoon, by
Rachel and Ida Boigt, who live in the
neighborhood. Other neighbors
stated that Dawson left his farm
about noon, bound for the city to Sc
cure harvest hands to assist in gath
ering his wheat. The body evidently
lay in the road for several hours be-
fore it was seen by the girls. Neigh
bors were notified at once and in turn
notified Coroner c. A. Traux, who
took charge of the remains. An in
quest will likely be held this morning.
Dawson is a pioneer of Burleigh
county. He settled in the district in
the early seventies, taking a govern
ment claim. Little is known of his
previous life He has no relatives in
this state. It is known, however, that
he has number of relatives in Phila-
delphia and an effort was made last
evening to communicate with them.
The body will be held pending word
from them as to it's disposition. The
deceased is well known in this sec
ton. He was about 20 years old and
unmarried.
All the grain on the Dawson farm
has been cut and was ready for thresh-
ing. He was coming to town it is be-
lieved, for harvest help and provis-
ions at the time.

Young Man Of LaMoure
Meets Accidental Death

LaMoure, Sept. 10.-This community
was greatly shocked Thursday when it.
learned that Lawrence Juberg had
been accidentally killed by large
barn door which fell upon him. It
seems that Lawrence went to the barn
late in the forenoon to harness a team.
His little brother Chester was alone
at home at the time, and wondering.
how his brother was faring, went to,
the barn.. He was Mortified to find
that the large, heavy double door Of
the barn had fallen upon his brother,
pinning him to the ground and leaving.
only the feet protruding. He called a.
neighbor, Miss Mary Balman, and by,
their united efforts they succeeded in
raising the door and extricating the.
PROSTATE form. Their alarm brought
others. All efforts to resuscitate the.
stricken lad by first aid restoratives
proved futile. DR.. Ribble was sum-.
moned and he and the mother arrived.
But life was extinct, due apparently
to a blow upon the temple, while an ex-
animation tended to show that ther
neck was broken. Apparently the high
wind prevailing had blown the door,
from it's rolling supports upon the,
overhead door track, and hurled the
young man to the ground as he at.
tempted to open the door.

Minot Police Gathered
| In 20 Law Violators

Minot, Sept. 9.-Consternatio reign
ed among the piggers and gamblers Of
the city yesterday evening when the
sheriff, armed with warrants from the
states attorneys office "came down
like wolf of the fold" and gathered
unto the mighty arms of the law "a
piggers and five gamblers.
Some amusing and out of the ordi.
nary things happened in the raids.
The Ehr secondhand store was raid
ed, among other places. The officers
had information that the supply Of
; liquor was kept in the safe of the
concern. When the sheriff reached
this place on his rounds, the safe was
locked and the proprietors refused to
open it or give the officers the com
bination. The sheriff loaded the safe
on a wagon and took it to the court
house, along with the other evidences
of illegal sales that were found. The
officers give the owner the choice be.
tween opening it himself or paying
the costs of having an expert brought
to the city for that purpose. He de.
cided on the former and this morning
it was opened, when number of bot
ties of whiskey were found inside.
There was a general movement on
the part of the piggers and gamblers
to take long chances with the law and
try to get some OF the rich harvest
they saw in the city during the next
few weeks Just why they thought
they could get past the officers can
not be discovered, for the officials
have had every place that was raided
under surveillance for several days, in
fact every since the proprietors began
their work. The matter was kept I'M
der cover, and except for the officials
and few newspaper men, no one
knew that the evidence was being
gathered. The officials said nothing
until they had proof sufficient to con-
vict every one Of the parties arrested,
and then the raid was made.
The states attorney states that the
raid yesterday was nothing more than
the ordinary enforcement of the law
He caught the large number at one
time because the victims all started
to get a share of the money that is
so plentiful in Minot, at the same time.
1t is his intention that blind pigging
and gambling shall be kept out of the
city, and the next fellow who tries
out his game will find himself in the
clutches of the law without delay.

that he was some 'scrapper" himself,

vailed and that the time had come to

Rev. Vermilya secuted the idea that
the Valley City Chautauqua could be

He thought the business men ought to

of humanity.
Rev. Lyon summed up Valley City's
advantages , educational and other.
wise, asking whether Valley City
could live up to the higher tests of
efficiency. He thought conditions
might be, improved, the Chautauqua
being one of the means of improve
ment.
Edwin Maryland told of his work
with the farmers clubs and advised
the business men to get better &C.
quainted with the farmers. He be.
lieved that instead of being detrimen-
tai to the business men of Valley City,
as he had heard it claimed, the clubs
could be made of greatest value to the
city.
Secretary Buckwalter told of this ex-
periences in Chautauqua work and Of
the advantages Valley City possessed.
He urged cooperation and better
acquaintance with the farmers of the
county. He said it was useless to
hope to make money out of the Chau-
tauQua, but it ought to serve to broad
en- our field of friendship and trade.
Mr.. Buckwalter proved himself a
master of negro dialect in several stor-
les and his remarks were greeted with
a round of applause.
Following these speeches remarks
were made by Messrs. Young, New
mann, Peake, Zetterberg, Trubshaw,
Duvau and others, in which the
booster idea was thoroughly gone
over. ....
