LEW WHITE SENT
Up FOR TWO YRS,

Lew White found that he was in
for horse stealing last week and told
Ed. Partridge on Friday that he was
ready to plead guilty and take his
sentence. He wanted, however, that
the authorities should look after a
number of parties who had been do
ing just as bad as he had.
Sheriff H. A. Kasper, States At
tOrney Tom johnson and Clerk of
Court Joslin, came in from Manning
and took Lew White to Beach on Fri
day evening, where he received SEN
tence of two years in the peniten-
tiary.
1t looked like to 10 years if White
had stood out, but inasmuch as he was
willing to go along and save Dunn
county a good sized court expense,
he was given light sentence at the
request Of the authorities.
Lew White is about AZ years of age
and formerly resided east of the Mis-
souri, river In the vicinity of Wash.
burn and Underwood. He is SINGLE.
and as far as known, has no relatives
out this way. He has been suspected
of horse stealing for some years and
his moves were carefully watched.
His home place, a small horse ranch.
is at the head of Big Gulch in the
Bad Lands, about Is miles north of
Killdeer mountain. He was con-
fronted with stealing four horses
from farmers who came in and DOS
itively identified their property. A
saddle horse belonging to Voigt, was
also reclaimed.
Ed Partridge, who is working for
the stockmen, worked out the case
and made the arrest. He also secur-
ed Whites confession. Readers of
this paper win also recall that Mr..
Partridge located and arrested Clay
Hill some two months ago, who is also
serving a two year term at Bismarck.
Hill was a pal of Whites and now
they are doing time together.

MADE FINE SHOWING
ENJOYED ENCAMPMENT

Company, K arrived Sunday even
ing on special train from Devils
Lake, all the members returning ex-
cept James Soules and J. H. Gibson,
who did not join the company on their
way home, the former leaving for Fish
Lake, N. D., for an outing and teing
expected back Friday, Ernest Angliss
and Fred Funk who stopped off at
Mandan, and Lieuts. Baird and Wiley
and Capt. Barker, who found it nee
essary to return earlier.
Our company was the first one to
be selected for guard duty, Lieut..
Wiley being commander of the guard
and Capt. Barker, officer of the day.
Corp. Robert Hill was chosen to in
struct the signalling detachment of
our battalion. Other appointments
mentioned last week were James
Soules as senior color sergeant, and
Lieut.. Baird as adjutant to Major
Henry.
After dinner each day, all the Ion
commissioned officers of the regiment
were assembled in one company under
the supervision Of Sergt. Rock, until
recently sergeant in the regular
army, and put through the different
drills. This company, composed Of a
hundred picked men, Sergt. Chris
Kunz being right guide, presented a
splendid appearance.
The practice march came Thursday
and every Company K member was
there at the start and at the finish.
They took pride in their organization
and were complimented both by the
major OF our battalion and by the
colonel of the regiment.
No member of the company was
sick at camp and slight bruises or
blisters were the only things tnat
needed doctors attention. Habits of
order, promptness and neatness were
taught that surely should be of bene-
fit to every member. The sanitation
was good. New men were taught to
be careful, and never to throw any
thing on the ground that would serve
to attract flies or in any way act as a
breeding place for them.
The Devils Lake people entertained
the guard royalty. There were dane
es, banquets, boat rides and free ad-
mission to Chautauqua. Misses d. ell
and Lucken, former teachers in our
schools, were out to visit their Tick
inson friends and ate supper with
them at camp.
Capt. Barker is the proud possessor
of a new Colts Automatic, which was
presented him by members of the com
pany. He left the middle Of the
week for a three weeks trip in the
west, and during Capt. Barker's
absence Lieut.. FURY will conduct the
drills.

Paul. They Married This
Week.

Ben Buell., aged %, who came to
Dickinson short time ago from Mon
tana, where his parents are supposed
to reside, is In the meshes Of the
Mann act. He was arrested by a
United States deputy on a charge of
transporting Stella McHenry, aged

conducted before w. r. Everett, U. S.
commissioner. Buell. was bound over
to U. S. district court, bonds being
fixed at $1,000, which he was unable
to furnish, in consequence of which
he was sent to Jail.
Ben Buell. made a clean breast of
as he has an opportunity will make his
plea of guilty before Judge Amidon.
In view of the fact that the parties
are young and of the further fact that
they were married this week, it is
likely that Buell. will get off with a
small Jail sentence.
Ben Buell. made application for N.
P. work as brakeman and said that
he was a single man. He worked a
little here and a short time ago made
application for transportation of

Through the unavoidable absence of
our machine operator the first three
days of the week, we are unable to
give. our readers in this issue the fine
address on "The Immortality of the
Soul" given by Prof. C. J. N. Mel
son of Beach at the Congregational
church Sunday evening. The address
will appear in full next week.
Prof. Nelson has been superintend-
ent Of the Beach schools the past
seven years and has seen the schools
of that town grow from a one room
school and three teachers to the pres
ent force of twenty-one teachers, oc-
cupying fine, modern buildings and
having a large agricultural depart
ment. The Beach high school has
large number Of students from the
prosperous farming districts tribu-
tary and its enrolment is now sew
enth in the state. Supt. Nelson may
well feel gratifed. that so much has
been accomplished in so short time.

PR0V|DENT INSURANCE Co.
PEOPLE BUYING STOCK

of North Dakota has been incorporat-
ed and will be taking life insurance
risks about the first of the year. This
company which will do both a life
insurance and surety business, has
headquarters in Bismarck and will be
a distinctively Missouri Slope con-
cern, making speciality of business
west of the river.
The funds of the Provident Insur-
ance Company will be, invested in
North Dakota securities, which means
that all premium money will be kept
at home. The company is capitalized
at $25O,000 and before any business
can be transacted the full amount of
capital stock must be paid into the
treasury and kept intact as requir-
ed by the North dakota law, for the
protection of policy holders.
The officers Of the Provident In
surance Company are men of high
standing, including, F. L. Conklin of
Bismarck, w. H. Mann of New Salem
and John Knaup Of Jamestown. w.
c. Taylor, state commissioner of in
surance expects to become an active
member of the company later. Three
or four men who have had large ex-
perience in insurance matters in Wis
consin, Minnesota and South Dakota
are actively engaged in the work of
establishing the new company.
One of the features of the Provi-
dent Insurance Company is the wide
distribution of stock, the shares hav-
:ng been made small-$10 each-and
thus placed within the reach of all.
A wide distribution of stock means
that a larger number of people will
be interested and working to secure
business for the company.
The insurance tables for 1913 show
that nearly two million dollars was
sent out of the state for life insur-
ance, the greater part of this large
sum going to New York. It has been
found that old line life insurance is
profitable, and under our present laws
absolutely safe as an investment,
hence it is not strange that people
are pleased to get blocks of stock Of
the new company, and already con-
siderable number of the Dickinson
citizens have invested in stock.

tilated by a light Northern Pacific
engine, westbound and backing up, a
few hundred feet east of the station
in that village at 6:55 o'clock yester-
day morning. Pashley was going to
work. He was walking the track at
the time. According to particulars
reaching this city, Pashley was going
in the same direction that the light
engine was travelling. On the oppo-
site side of the track was moving
eastbound freight train. On the
curve, the light engine came down up
on the young man, throwing his body
beneath the wheels.
Pashley came to Hawley from
Staples, Minn., last April. The
widow survives but no children.
The facts that will be carefully in
vestigated are whether the backing
engine gave warning to the man on
the track or came upon him without
noticing him, or whether the man was
confused by the noise Of the passing
eastbound freight as it rounded the
curve, and was unable to hear the ap-
preaching westbound engine.

WANT TO HOMESTEAD
UNDER ACT Of MARCH 4

The II isolated tract sales set for
the 18th at the Dickinson U. s. land
office did not materialize to any great
extent. There were but four parties
who appeared, namely: limerick
Martin for two tracts south of Rich
ardton at S. and better per acre,
Charles Ashurst of Halliday and Fer
dinand Messer.
Under the act of March a, 1915,
people who have proved up on land
and are still owners and occupants of
same, are permitted to homestead ad-
joining tracts. Hence, it is reasonable
to presume that some of the isolated
tracts will eventually be taken as ad-
ditional homesteads.

.BERzEL BAKERY MADE
5000 L0AVES OF BREAD

George Berzel's steam bakery ran
very near full capacity carnival week
when 1000 loaves of fine bread were
baked daily, making total of 5000
loaves for the week. This, including
the other baking, represented the con-
sumption of three and a half tons of
flour. Mr. Berzel sent for two extra
bakers but none appeared until the
last of the week and the regular force
was taxed to the utmost.
This bakery is the largest west of
installed this season, is most up-to-
date and sanitary.
The steam flows in when the bread
goes into the oven, thus preserving
the fine flavor.

acres turned back last fall, the hal

opinion of Mr.. Thomas. the fall plow-
ing is the best. He has two hired
men on the place since Sc eding time
and will need more for harvest.
The J. P. Perdae1:s acreage just
west of South Heart is one of the
largest around, amounting to about
LOO acres, ircluding 300 acres of

Enter
tain $50 An Ideal
Summer Home

On Sunday last the Coffee Party"
of the Daglum Norwegian church, was
given by Banker and Mrs. B. O. Thor
kelson of South Heart.
The notice of this event given in
these columns last week said "in the
grove south of town" and doubtless
many of our readers saw in their
minds eye the few scattered trees
that some times pass for grove in
this prairie country. Not so in real
ity.
Turning south past the Catholic
church a half mile south on the Dag
lum road, a turn to the right brings
the visitor after a few rods to the
Little Heart. Autos are left on this
flat and crossing a foot bridge one
can easily imagine himself transport
ed to the forest shaded summer re-
sorts of the east.
While hunting on the river bottoms
one day, Mr.. and Mrs. Thorkelson
crossed this corner of the VIM. Ken
nedy pasture, almost river encircled,
and at once realized its possibilities.
Negotiations were begun the follow
ing day and fifteen acres became their
own.
About four weeks ago they moved
into their summer home there, which
is commodious and artistic. with it's
wide windows end screened in porch.
The large elm, ash and box elder
trees have been trimmed high and the
ground cleared for large space
about the cottage and rustic seats. in
comfortable hooks between trees or
with trees forming the back, swings
and hammocks offer every opportun-
ity for summer comfort and sand
stone slab in, the river forms the floor
Of their summer bath room. Mr.. and
Mrs.. Thorkelson and daughter,
Dorothy, are all delighted with their
woods home and Mr.. Thorkelson is in
easy reach of his banking business at
South Heart.
Clouds and rain made the attend
ance Sunday smaller than it other
wise would have been but there was
a large company on hand to enjoy
Mr.. and Mrs. Thorkelson's cordial
hospitality and do ample justice to
the nice lunch served.

convention, or any special attraction,
there is always big crowd up from

ball with Dickinson on the home
