Near RIOT IN
MlN0T TUESDAY
Policeman Badly Beaten up when He
Tries 70 Stop Flight.

Minot, Nov. "A near riot
occurred here late this after
noon when Patrolman John
Reed was attacked by small
mob consisting of some forty
men, and badly beaten up be-
fore other members of the city
police force came to his rescue.
Reed was endeavoring to
stop a fight between two tran
sients and the onlookers at the
mill attacked him. After he
had been rescued it was found
necessary to take 80 stitches in
his head.
The crowd, it seems, took
the policeman's club away from
him and beat him over the
head with that and stones. His
position was for a time critical
until help arrived.

Mr.. Marshall has recently
completed tour of the state,
in which he is said to have
sounded ont public sentiment
and to have conferred with
former supporters. He declines
either to affirm or deny his
candidacy. and it is assumed
he desires to make even a more

Commercial Club Meeting.

A special meeting of the
com mercial club was held on
Wednesday evening in the fire
hall, where the club has tenn
porary quarters.
A. P. Henderson, b e t t e r
Farming agent for Bottineau
county. appeared before the
board and asked the club to
finance the projected short
course TO be held in December.
The req quest was complied with,
the club guaranteeing $75 to
defray the expenses of the
course.
The proposition of closing
the stores on Christmas eve
was taken up and a resolution
was passed by the club endors-
ing the idea, but naturally this
will be a matter for the mer-
chants themselves to deter
mine. An attempt was made
last year to have the stores
close on that occasion. but
failed.
Following the routine busi-
ness of the meeting, the club
in body inspected the pro-
posed new quarters in the base
ment of the Stone hotel. While
no definite action was taken by
the club, the Concensus of
opinion seemed to favor these
quarters and it is quite likely
that lease will be signed up
during the next few days. The
new quarters will be ready for
occupancy about Nov. 10.

Chas. E. Watkins lost valu-
able team of horses in pecu-
liar manner. Last year his
father was given small sack
of oats that had been treated
for gophers, and in moving last
week they were taken to the
hotel and placed among other
things that had been novel.
Last Tuesday as Charley was
getting ready to feed his team
he saw the sack of oats and
thinking that they would make
a feed-not knowing they were
poisoned-took them out to the
barn and divided them with
the team. After they had fin-
ished eating he pitched them
to the wagon and drove out to
the Will Sharet farm, about
nine miles southwest of town,
where he watered. In less

MURDERER IS
SHOT BY POLICE
The Canadian Officials Make Swift
Work Of Man Who Killed
Friend.

Bowbells, Oct. 3O.-One man
is dead and the other dying as
a result of a shooting scrape
which took place just across
the Canadian boundary north
of Larson.
A farmer from across the
line came to Larson with his
hired man, transient, and
after figuring up their accounts
the men settled up, and the
transient was given a check in
payment of all he claimed he
had coming. The man had
been working for the farmer
for some time and they always
got along nicely. Even at the
time the settlement was made
the transient stated that he
was 80 we'll pleased with his
dealings with the farmer that
he desired to go back and work
for him some more.
Before starting for home
again the transient bought a
revolver and a supply of am
munition. When they left town
both seemed to be perfectly
contented with their lot and
very friendly. As soon as the
Canadian boundary line was
crossed, however, the transient
drew his gun and pointed it at
the farmer and fired five shots
into his body, at the same time
saying: Now I've got you
where l want you"
Tha transient left the farmer
in the wagon box and the horses
took the rig home, while the
murderer started on run
across the fields. The shooting
took place only about quarter
of a mile from the farmer 8
home. As soon as the shoot
ing was discovered States At
torney Hanson and Sheriff
Heath of Bowbells were nOtiti-
ed, as also were the Canadian
mounted police. The farmer
is not dead, but all hopes of his
recovery have been given up.
While the neighborhood was
on the lookout for the transient
telephone message was re-
ceived here to the effect that
the murderer had been shot by
a mou nted police while resist
ing arrest.

PROJECT May
BE ABANDONED
Government Dlssa tlsiied with Returns
From wIIIIsion irrigation
Plant,

Bismarck, Oct. 80. The pro
posal of the federal government
to abandon the irrigation pro-
ject at WilIistOn has aroused
great interest all over North
Dakota. 1t is the only project
that has been attempted in the
state and the people feel there
should be a more extended
trial.
The excessive cost of opera
ton is the serious feature. In
stead of making a fixed charge
for the use of the water the
government has contended the
charges should be prorated in
order to guarantee that the
project should be self support
ing. This has prevented many
farmers from using the water
who would have done so on
basis of fixed charges.
The attitude of the govern
ment appears to be that it is
better to abandon the project
entirely and lose what has been
put in rather than to continue
the operation in view OF a GER
tain loss. The farmers con-
tend that if the plant was oper-
ated on fixed basis that in "A
few years the number of water
users will be SO. increased that
the project will be selfsupport-
ting,

vantages offered by Bottneau county to those
seeking home. There will be exaggera-

ty. No expense effort will be spared to make
it edition that i'll be a distinct credit to the

not asking for any financial assistance in the way

hardly be estimated in dollars and cents. 1t will
not only go into hundreds of homes in the eastern
states, where considerable prejudice against North
Dakota exists, but will also open the eyes of local
people to the many advantages they enjoy and
thus make them better boosters and better citizens.

CAPTURE /; OF yARNAs
Bulgariais Chief Black Sea Port in
ii Hands of Russians

London, Dec. 22-The Daily Chron-
icle reports the capture Of Varna,
Bulgaria's chief Black Sea port, by
the Russians. 1t says the lombard
ment of the Russians silenced the
Bulgarian guns and laid the town in
ruins. The garrison suffered heavily
it was said.
The Russians then, according to the
report, landed infantry and artillery
without loss and in sufficient force to
hold the town against Bulgarian at
tack.
The bombarding squadron consisted
of cruiser and two destroyers, act
ing as convoy for sixteen Russian
transports filled with troops
This announcement comes on the
heels of report from Russian souttce
that the Gear had practically
abandoned his campaign against Bull
garia. 1t was reported that the forces
which had been concentrated along
the Roumanian frontier were being
DETECTED to an attack on Bukowina.
The present is the second Russian
naval demonstration before Varna.
