FOUR OF ESCAPED N. d.
CONVICTS CAUGHT 49, NO
CLUE OF EMAINING PAIR

Bismarck, N. D., Apri 5.--Four of
the six prisoners who escaped from
the pent'ntlary last Wt.ln,>Ca% were
captured at a point fifty-six miles
south of here on the Missouri river bot
toms. The men put up no fight when
four Emmons county farmers armed
with rifles, shotguns and revolvers
came upon them just as they awoke
from few hours sleep taken beside a
country school house. The fugitives
refused to talk of their experiences
during the three days and four nights
they had been hunted, except that they
had left the woods because at had got
too hot for us in there
1t is known, however, that all Sc
cured change of clothes at farm
house, one getting new brown suit
and others fitting themselves out with
overalls and jumpers. They have been
able to get plenty to eat, even buying
provisions at some houses. They were
in a neighborhood inhabited exclusive
ly by Russians, very few of whom
could read English.
No definite clues have been obtained
as to the whereabouts of the two other
fugitives One report that they were
in the Turtle mountains, headed for
the Canadian line was run down and
found to be without foundation. An
other rumor that they escaped to the
west is now being followed.
The four me ntaken were Frank lr..
win, John Wilson, Jack Williams and
George Young Irwin was serving ten
years for robbery in Bottineau county
when he escaped. Wilson was senten-
ced to two years for robbery in the
third degree in Bowman county. Will
liams was sent up from Cass county
for seven years for robbery and Young
was serving one and one-half years
for third degree burglary which was
committed in Grand Forks county. He
attempted to escape on Oct. 80, last.
The two convicts that escaped and
are still at large, are John Robertson
and Fred Andrews. Robertson was
serving two years for robbery in Cav
alier county while Andrews was serv'
ing three years for grand larceny II
Nelson county. Andrews was the mar
who escaped last September and was
captured while attempting to make
his way to the Canadian line.

The merchants carry very creditable
stocks and it is we'll konwn fact that
Sawyer merchants sell cheaper than
those of most towns. The writer is
sorry to learn that one of our citizens
has taken it upon himself to try to get
another store located here. Our mer-
chants are entitled to the business of
this territory and whaS Sawyer needs
is not more businessmen, but more ac-
tual farmers thruout the territory.
Our soil is fertile, land is cheap and
the opportunities for farming and
stockraising ere exce(.snJ. We hope
that the writer of the following letter
in his haste, did not say exactly what
he meant, and we think that the COM
munication, which was written in an
swer to letter of inquiry, needs some
explanation:
Selmer A. Ulland,
Blooming Prairie, MINI.
Dear Sir:
Have your letter and beg to say that
fellow from Logan has moved in
here with very small stock, in fact
only about $1,000. but he is doing nice
| ly. Am sorry that he has moved in
as it might keep large stock out
however it should not. He would move
again as soon as good stock moved
in. Town has 400 people, with two
small, dirty stocks, besides the new
one. All three together do not have
more than $4,000 stock. II miles tc
Minot, 7 Velva, Is Benedict and Ia to
Surrey. Good territory and if you
should put in a $4,000 stock you
would be almost without competition
Three churches, Congregational, Bap'
fist and Holiness churches. Hardware
store, weekly paper, three blacksmiths
drug store, telephone, two rura
routes, two good banks, livery barn
meat market, doctor, lumber yard, etc
This will bear investigation and l am
sure with $4,000 stock you can cas-.
lily do $4,000 business and the profit
is some larger than in Minnesota
Come look US over. 1t will pay you
Yes, there is very suitable building
that you could rent. 1t is the very
best location in town. Think rent
would be reasonable but I have moth
ing to do with the building and can
not say what rent, however / think II
would be between $4,000 and $4,000 q
month.
Yours very truly,

BISMARCK MAN
SHOOTS HIMSELF
THISTLEWAITE SENDS BULLET
INTO HEAD-DESPONDENT BE-
CAUSE OF ILL HEALTH.

Bismarck, N. d., April 5.-Walter
Thistlewaite, the only son Of City Aud
itor r. H. Thistlewaite, committed
suicide by shooting himself in the head
with a revolver yesterday morning.
Death was instantaneous.
The only reason assigned is despon-
dency over i'll health. The deceased
was contracting plumber, and had
been unable to work for some time
past, but more recently was in bet
ter health and had started a number
of contracts and had more in sight
He was married and about 32 years
old, and had one child.

Old NeighbOrs Incensed.

The Independent received letter
from w. E. Miller of Pleasant, N. D.,
with whom jeff Willard, the old gen
tleman who died recently at St. JOS
eph's hospital, lived for many years
Mr.. Millard's old friends at Pleasant
are much incensed at the way the
nephew acted concerning the burial
and says that it would not be healthy
for Lysne should he make his appear
ance in the Pleasant neighborhood
When Lysne went to Pleasant for the
old mans paper, he promised the
friends that in case the remains were
not sent to the old Minnesota home for
burial, he would have them inferred at
Sherwood, but to save money, chose
Minot.

~-..KES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get rs cent bottle
of Danderine right now-Also
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing feverish,
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan
derine, Save your hair! Try it.!

raising a big crop of potatoes, Mr..

NEW CENTURY CLUB
Decides To Build A Club
House

A very important business meet
ing, probably the most important
one in the history of the Newark
New Century Club, was held Mon
day afternoon. The attendance was
an unusually large one, over fifty
being present. All minor business
was set aside, and the club pro-
ceeded at once to it's important
business. The president, Mrs. Hay
ward, introduced the vital question
of the afternoon, namely, whether
or not the club was willing and
prepared for the building of a
club house. The president invited
an expression Of opinion from one
of the members. She urged the
Importance of due deliberation be-
fore casting a vote on either side.
A spirited discussion which was
friendly throughout, followed. The
expressions were concise and open
on both sides. The advantages of
a club house as we'll as the finan-
cial difficulties in which the club
would involve itself were empha-
sized with equal strength. From
the first, however, it was evident
I. that those in favor of the building
would carry the vote. Indeed the
question whether or not the club
house should be built, soon dwin-
died in Importance before the
questions as to what kind of a club
house we should have, what it's
cost should be, the best arrange.

Peabody Recital In Elkton

There will be a treat seldom OF

under the auspices of the Women's
Club of Elkton, Mr.. Edward nj.
Morris of the Peabody Conserva-
tory of Music, Baltimore, will give
a piano recital in Mechanics Hall,
North street. Mr.. Morris is one OF
the most brilliant young planlsts
now before the public. Since his
graduation, with honors, at the
Peabody Conservatory, and WIN
ming the grand piano in the com
netition of advanced students
there, his career has already in
cluded the distinction of sololst
with the Boston Symphony and
Philadelphia Symphony Orches-
tras, and many other concert ap-
pearances in New York, Washing,
ton. and other large cities. That
Edward Morris remarkable talen,
is recognized by such celebrated
artists as Josef Hoffman, Harole
Bauer, Arthur Whiting, and Fritz
Kreisler, is shown by their attend
ing his recital at Bar Harbor, Me.
last summer, and other evidences
of personal interest.
This recital may be followed b,
a series of Peabody concerts, com
posed of varied programs, in Elk
ton, through the winter season

Medical Axam-
ino1:on Completed
Physical Defects Reported To
Parents

The teachers of Newark Public
Schools have completed the test
ing of pupils for eye, ear, throat,
and nose diseases, in accordance
with instructions of the State
Board of Education.
A total of 449 pupils were exam
ined including the entire school
above the first grade, Of this
number 100 or 26.5 per cent were
found to have serious trouble with
one or more of these organs.
A tabulation of the reports shows
that one hundred and twenty pu-
pills are affected with impaired
sight, seventeen with poor hear
ing, twenty-six with throat trou
BILE, and four with nose diseases.
The two latter diseases cannot al
ways be distinguished.
In all cases of serious defects,
cards of warning were sent to par
ents, advising them to consult
reputable physician or specialist
about the trouble suspected. This
is purely optional with the parents
who are free to follow the advice
or not to do so, but it is pleasing to
know that in a large number such
cases are already being treated by
specialists,
1t is hoped that the work done
will result in a more general inter-
est on the part of parents in the
physical welfare of their children.
No pupil suffering from one or
, more of these defects can hope to
: make satisfactory progress unless
, steps are taken to remedy the trou.

Corn Crop In Delaware

Delaware is widely known for
her fruits and vegetables, yet
these are not the most important
crops of the State. Corn leads in
value all crops, with wheat sec
ond. The annual corn crop is val
ued at 4,5OO,000 dollars; that of
wheat at 100000 dollars. The
average yield of corn per acre in
Delaware is only little less than
that of the leading corn belt states
in the Middle West. The average
Weld per acre of wheat is equal to
that of Illinois and Iowa. The av-
erage price of grain on the farm
in Delaware is, for an average OF
ten years, ten cents per bushel
more than in the Mississippi Val
ley. The possibilities for profit
able grain production in Delaware
are as good as in the corn belt
states. Last year the largest yield
per acre for a ten acre field in In
diana was 10 bushels. One Della
ware grower harvested 1926 bush
els from a ten acre tract. One
acre of this yielded 1913 bushels of
corn. A yield of 100 bushels per
acre has been made by Delaware
farmers more than a dozen times
during the past five years.
These results have come about
largely through the introduction
of better methods of culture, i'm
proved and selected varieties O.
. seed. 1t is significant that thu
largest yields per acre received il
this State have been made by me,
who were active members of tn

ton. The leading corn grower
