BRANDS CORN
EIGHT FEET H|CA
LOGAN MAN HAS FIELD THAT
WILL MATURE NICELY At
TANNED WONDERFUL GROWTH
SINCE JUNE %.

J. J. Brand, who has justly earned
the title, the "Corn King" brought
the Independent a stalk Of corn from
a four acre patch on his Logan farm
that Is over eight feet tall. It has a
fine large ear. Mr.. Brand says he did
not bring US his best sample, as every
ear of corn is worth something this
year. He planted the Wisconsin No.
seed, which won him first premium
ut Fargo and Minot last winter. He
expects to have considerable mature
corn, Notwithstanding the Twin City
papers report there is no corn fit for
roasting ears in the Northwest this
year.
Mr.. Brand brought hundred dozen
roasting ears to the city Saturday,
getting more than $25 for the jag.
Mr. Brand agrees that this has not
been a very good corn year. His
corn was frozen down twice and was
hailed off once. On June %, the field
was bare, but the corn came up a
fourth time and made this wonderful
growth.

SHOT At A JACK
THE PEPPER
B. w. JUNE AND JOHN CROSS
HAVE EXCITING TIME WITH
MAN FOUND LURKING NEAR
THE JUNE RESIDENCE.

A Jack the pepper" who was
caught lurking meath the trees sur
rounding the home of B. w. June, the
barber, 312 Fourth avenue N. w., on
Sunday night, met with a warm re-
ception that might have cost him his
life.
Mr.. June and his neighbor, John
Cross, had been out for a walk, when
they saw a man sneaking along under
the trees near the June residence.
This is not the first time that trouble
of this nature has occurred in that vi
cinity and June always went prepared.
Handing his automatic revolver to Mr..
Cross, he went into the Cross resi-
dence to telephone to the police, when
the man ran. Mr.. Cross opened fire
on him and shot five times, but evil
IDENTIFY did not hit him. Cross follow
ed the man down the street. June
heard the firing, and grabbing Cross
revolver from the stand, went in pur-
suit. Seeing Cross running in the
darkness, he mistook him for the man
found under the trees and fired at
him, the bullet coming uncomfortably
close. Cross lost no time in letting
June know his identity, but "Jack the
pepper" is still at large.

MADSEN AND BUcCE
BUY ARCHIBALD Store
Special to The Independent:

Foxholm, N. D., Aug. 26.-On We'd
nesday deal was closed whereby E.
A. Madsen and C. A. Bugge Of Bur-
lington acquired the Archibald store
of this place. For years this store
has been one of the leading business
institutions of the town, and Mr.. Arch
ibald has prospered in a business way,
building up an immense trade among
the farmers thruout this section, but
of late he has felt the need of rest
from the confinement and close atten-
ton which his business has demanded,
and will take a much needed rest. Lat
er he will undoubtedly embark in bus
mess of another line here or at some
other equally good trading point. "a
The new proprietors are we'll known
in this community, owning large
store at Burlington in addition to the
one at Raymond, Mont. The firm of
&c. A. Bugge & Co., which consists of
the above mentioned gentlemen, has
for the past Is years been in business
at Burlington and their store is per-
haps the largest department store in
Ward county today. Believing
by expanding and enlarging their
business interests they will be enabled
to buy in larger quantities and at bet
ter prices, they adopted the policy two
years ago of buying or establishing
stores at points which in their judg-
ment were situated in localities fav-
orable for business, and started the
store at Raymond, Mont. The success
at that point was so gratifying that
the purchase of the Archibald store at
Foxholm has only been delayed by
reason of the European war.
The formal transfer of the store
will take place Saturday evening,
when the inventory will be taken and
the place opened under the new man.
agement Monday morning. The style
of the new firm will be Madsen &
Bugge. A large addition will be made
to the present stock and a full and
complete line of general merchandise
carried.
Foxholm awaits with no little de-
gree of pleasure the coming of this
firm as Mr.. Madsen is known thruout
this section as a BOOSTER.

DIR. AND MRS. WALSH
HOME FROM MANITOBA.

DR.. and Mrs. E. J. Walsh have re-
turned from an auto trip to Swan
River, $50 miles directly north of Mi
not, in Manitoba. Swan river is To-
Gated on the new Hudson Bay line.
The second day out from Minot they
got into the country where moose, elk
and caribou are plentiful. Much of
the country they travelled over is COW
cred with timber, with a good many
lakes. They found many flowers that
are not seen in this vicinity.
They found good crops in Canada,
but state that there are three areas in
Saskatchewan where the crops are
light, owing to not enough moisture.
Wheat is ripening fast and some will
go 45 bushels.
In all the towns they saw soldiers
preparing to go to the front. Some
of the soldiers have been allowed to
return home to look after their har-
vest. While they are grim faced, they
feel that the Allies are sure to win
finally.

sary by reason Of the growing busi-

COMMITS SUICIDE

Williston, Aug. 24.-Frank Dur
ham, the 20-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Durham of Springbrook was
found dead in the town hall of Spring
brook township about three miles east

Distad was called and found that the
boy had died from a dose of strych-
nine, having taken about teaspoon
full of the poison. He had left note
addressed to his mother and said he
was killing himself as the result of
trouble with his father. Judging from
the note the doctor is of the opinion
that the boy was out of his mind when
he wrote it.
Frank Durham has been working
nearly all summer for his brother-in-
law, L. A. Morrow, who lives near the
town hall. On the morning Of the
deed the young man complained of
having toothache and said he was 60
ing over to the hall and take a nap.
About 8 o'clock he came back for a
pail of water. When the dinner hour
came around the folks thought they
would not wake him up but at supper
time his brother Oscar went over to
call him and found him dead.
The strychnine he used was taken
from a bottle which he evidently had
taken from the township supply kept
at the Morrow home. \"
"Do not think that l am crazy.
have been thinking of killing myself
for three years, but wanted to kill
father frst," he wrote.
The town hall, which is on his broth.
er-in-law's farm is also used as bed
room and here the young man had his
bed. The letter, addressed to his
mother, giving the reasons for taking
his life and detailing his troubles with

HELD Up FREIGHT
train NEAR M|N0T

Two men whose North Dakota
names are Jack Mckay from Texas
and VIM. Brunner, from Oklahoma,
were arrested at the Chicago restau-
rant at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning
charged with holding up three laborers
on a 500 freight train a mile west Of
the city at 10 o'clock Tuesday night.
They were given a hearing before
Judge Willis, who held them to the dis
trict court under $1,000 bonds each,
which they could not furnish.
Tom Curley, one of the victims, was
struck by gun in the hands Of one
of the assailants and a long cash cut
in his head, laying bare the skull. His
companion, A. Zimmerman, was re-
lieved Of $4.00 and third companion,
Sydney Leeman, was attacked. All
three of the men were thrown from
the moving train. They made their
way to Minot and notified the police.
They described their assailants so well
that there was little trouble in detect
ing them. They said the thugs wore
masks, carried flash-light and one of
them had .38 Smith & Wesson gun,
said to have been stolen from Louis
Abrahamson. When arrested Brun-
ner wore coat that had been stolen
from J. E. McCutcheon. The two men
had been staying at McCutcheon's
rooming house. The coat bore the
name of Mr.. McCutcheon and the Hal
sey Tailoring Company. Drummer
claimed that he had never been in the
city until Tuesday night, but when
Chief of Police Dougherty saw the
coat, he wilted, and finally told the
story of the hold-up. Both men look
like degenerates. Brunner said they
got on 500 gravel train that after
noon and went to Burlington, coming
back on the freight. Chief Dougherty
did good work in rounding the men up
so quickly.
