Mrs. Cleo Firse (white) of Minot
was stabbed in the right arm, while
defending herself against attacks by
Mrs. Clyde Bracken, (colored). Jeal-

being fired, but going wild.

has already been done not only in the
central part of North Dakota, but
even in the western parts of the Red
River valley counties. Two heavy
snowfalls that did not reach other sec.
tons of the state struck the country
along the Red river. There is. a strip
about 25 miles in width on the Da-
kota side that is yet too moist for
spring work, except on occasional
high spots. The ground has thaWed
out and the surface water has disap-
peared, but the moisture is too much
to permit teams to operate on the
fields near the river. RichlandE coun-

counties further north had less snow
fall. In the western part of Cass
county, around Wheatland, Buffalo and
Tower City much grain has been seed
ed. In the counties further west
