under arrest in Indiana for the theft
of horse and buggy at Berthold, this
state. He had driven the outfit
through to that state.
A slight fire in w. E. Glotzbach's

marck.
The engine for the electric light
plant has arrived at Edmore and will
be installed as soon as the foundation
is dry enough to hold it. It is planned
to have the plant running about Dec.
9Th, if everything goes as expected.
The annual winter meeting of the
Shriners at Fargo will be held De-
cember 10th. A leading feature of
the entertainment will be the "Mer-
maids" swimming pool, E. B. Nc
Cutcheon Of Minot officiating as man
ager.
The case of Bottineau county VS..
John Simon, former county auditor,
has been settled, Mr.. Simon refunding
the fees in question, amounting to
$601.0O, with interest. This will no
doubt settle the question of fees in
this Office, which has for long time
been one of dispute.
A well-known character of Bowden
who went by the name of "Silk Hat
Harry" was bound over to the district
court at that place last week on a
charge of grand larceny, having grab
bed $5.85 from c. A. Dalager, who was
the complaining witness He is serv-
ing time under the supervision of the
sheriff Of Wells county.
Colonel John Frame of Grafton.
who, by the way, is candidate for
governor Of the state, recently accom-
panied his brother to the hospital in
Rochester, MINI. Col. Frame was on
the Pacific coast when he was mott
fed that his brother George was SER
iously i'll. He hurried home to render
any assistance within his power.
AZ A|iVAuC SOuiiIy, IAS UOyS anu girls
who raised corn were successful in
raising exceptionally good corn this
year, considering the backward condi-
tions this season. At the contest held
at Crosby last week the following
were picked as the winners: Eli Hag-
en-, Lillian Faa, Edward Halter, Theo-
dore Halter and Norman Esser
Bottineau county is in pretty good
shape financially, for according to the
county treasurer over there, they have
$4,000 in the sinking fund and will
take up $4,000 worth of court house
bonds this week. That will reduce the
bonded Indebtedness of the county to
$4,000, with considerable in the sink
ing fund drawing a neat little sum Of
interest.
A lawyer in court room may call
a man liar, scoundrel, villain or a
thief, and no one makes complaint,
when court adjourns, says an observ-
ing exchange. If a newspaper prints
such reflections on mans character
there is a libel suit or a dead editor.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1915-12-02

This is owing to the fact that people
believe what an editor says, but what
a lawyer says cuts no figure.
Clarence Lien of Adams was iniur-
ed quite badly one evening recently
while lighting the lights in his store.
He had generated the lights, using
an oil can filled with wood alcohol,
and when through he laid it aside. AS
ne stepped on a chair to turn on the
lights he lost his balance and fell full
force onto the can, the point of which
penetrated through the muscles of his
right forearm. ...~
Scarcity of water at Des Laos has
been causing the railway company
more or less trouble the last six
months and the condition is growing
worse. The company now has men
engaged in drilling a deep we'll and
expect to go down until they strike a
flow. The extremely light snow fall
of the past three or four winters is
directly responsible for the shortage
of water at the present time.
A. e. Hinkley, an commissioner
of the city of Bismarck, has started
an action against the tax commission
questioning the authority of that body
The move opens the way for an enor-
nous amount of trouble for the courts
and the administration, as it is under
stood that papers are being prepared
to retaliate on other measures, includ-
ing the Board of Regents, the educa-
tional institutions, and a number of
other important branches of the state
machinery.
The identity of the men murdered
near Rugby this fall and whose bodies
were found in a strawstack, may be
discovered through a letter received
by the chief of police from a minister
at Nymore, Mimi, who makes inquiry
regarding David Murtie and son, who
were supposed to be with threshing
crew near Rugby up to about Oct. 1.
The authorities are making a thoro
investigation There is at present
mail uncalled for in the Rugby post
office addressed to David McMurtie.
Statewide interest is being at
tracted to the development of the case
against Fred Jensen of Westhope, who
is being prosecuted by States Attor-
ney Adams for violation Of the law
passed by the last legislature making
~ d CIlIlc " issue WOTLNleSS CNeCkS.
Jensen is we'll known over the state,
having held the position as president
of the board of regents of the Agri-
cultural college. This is the first case,
so far as can be learned, brought I'M
der the new law, which fact, coupled
with the prominence of Jensen, in
sures fight which will doubtless go
through the supreme court. There
is a peculiar condition in this
case according to the facts as they
are alleged. It is acknowledged that
checks written by Jensen, and post.
dated, were good when written, but
several members of a threshing crew
asserted that when presented at the
bank at the proper date there were no
funds. We understand that the case
to above was dropped before
coming to trial.
A verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff,
was returned Monday evening in the
case Of Mrs. Emma Rafferty, against
L. D. Maurer, a we'll known Stark
farmer, which was tried be-
fore Judge C. w. Buttz in the district
court at Devils Lake. Mrs. Rafferty,

Mr.. and Mrs. William Zeroa's two
children, girl and a boy, and 3

For China Stand.

When one has a china umbrella

The sponge not only prevents it from
being broken, but also absorbs the

As We WERE SAYING


A man never does what his wife ex-
poets him to.
On the sea of adversely the pawn
broker is captain of the watch.
1t takes a self-made man a Lifetime
correct his bad grammar.
But a woman always stops talking
long enough to give a man a chance
to propose.
There is always something coming
to us that we should like to see side
tracked.
Love is a malady of the mind that
swells the head but makes $40 look
like 80 cents.
When the home team wins it's due
to good playing; when the other fell
lows win it's merely an accident.
Train up a child in the way he
should go and it's doughnuts to fudge
he'll take a fier in the opposite direc-
ton.
Maybe it is lucky for one-half the
world that his better half does not
know how he lives.
Some men proclaim their honesty in
loud tones SO as to distract your attea-
ton when they are dealing from the
bottom.
The one sure way to avoid mistakes
due to your inability to distinguish
between toadstools and mushrooms is
to confine your operations to boiled
cabbage.
