penitentiary took the initiative in
the matter of attempting to Sc
cure a school in which they could
improve their time of evenings by
studying such subjects as spelling,
writing, arithmetic and the like
by asking Warden Talcott to allow
them to hold such Il school, the
warden took the matter up with
the state board OF control.
All the members of the board
showed that they were interested
in the matter, j. w. Jackson being
particularly interested.
Six of the inmates who have
been better educated than the av-
erage expressed their willingness
to act as teachers and classes
were formed, aboG: 90 prisoners
enrolling and IN average of As or
so attending each class night.
The matter was taken up with
the state superintendpnt's Office
and superintendent Tailor and his
deputy have co-operated in every
way possible.

Ed. Drinkwater one day last week
suddenly made up his mind that an
expensive leather rocker would be just
the thing to present to his wife for
for Christmas gift, and Immediately
went to the Donovan Bros. furniture
store and had one ordered to come by
express from st, Peul. The shipment
was made 50 the chair would arrive
here on Christmas eve, and it was un-
loaded on schedule time. During the
unpackrg. huWeNrr, il was found
that the chair was badly broken in
several places, and that it would be
impossibl" to repair il here, hence the
shipment was refused Another chair
just like it has been ordered. and
though it will arrive too late for
Christmas Ed believes it will make a
suitable New Years gift.

hand who has been employed at
the farm of Ole r. Arnstad,. South
Prairie, died at st. Joseph's hos
pital yesterday morning from con-
cussion Of the brain, having re-
manned unconscious since taken
there Thursday evening.
1t was at first stated that knud-
son was injured in a runaway, but
later it became known that this
information was incorrect. The
young fellow went out to feed and
water the horses after supper
Thursday evening and when he
did not reappear after rather
long interval hunt was made for
him with the result that Albert
Arnstad, son Of ole Arnstad, the
we'll known farmer, found him ly-
ing unconscious and with his skull!
fractured in a stall III the stable.
He was bleeding profusely and had
evidently been fatally trampled by
one of the horses.
The injured youth was rushed to
the Minot hospital, but all attempts
to revive him fai.ed. AS far as
could be ascertained the fellow has
no relatives. He has been work
Ing at the Arnstad place since ear
ly this fall. He was buried by
the county this afternoon from the
undertaking parlors of j. d. Van
Fleet, the remains being Inferred
at Rose Hill cemetery.
Coroner Orson Doe was notified
>and after an investigation of the
case declared that death was due
to concussion of the brain caused

ASKS BIG DAMAGES
FOR WALK DEFECT

Ashley. y. D., Dec 81. Ashley
is made defendant in a $500"
damage case by the filing of d
claim for that amount by Charles
Geissel, an insurance agent or
st. Paul, Mimi, in which he alleg-
es he received injuries to that
amount because Of a sidewalk and
the improper lighting of the town.
The affiant alleges that on the
night of Nov. -, last, he was
walking along sidewalk border
ing on lot IA OF block II when he
accidentally stepped off the walk
and sustained severe and perman~
ent injuries. He alleges that the
night was a very dark one and
that while he was using due dill
gence he was unable to see where
he was going.
1t is probable that the village
board will consider the claim at
its next meeting, which will he
the first Monday in January, and
will then decide whether to pay
the claim or contest the matter
