WillistOn Meets
MinOt Saturday

Next Saturday is football day in
Williston. That being the date of the
annual clash between the Minot and
Williston high school elevens.
The game is easily the big card of
the season and all fans who wish to
witness real gridiron contest should
be at Bruegger field at o'clock. The
Williston 1916 team has not had much
of the experience that comes with
real, gruelling battles but have done
plenty of hard practice work and are
on edge, anxious for a try at re-
treiving some of the laurels the Magic
City school boys have wrested from
them in the past.
The Minot team is apparently strong
and has been trimming such teams as
Darlington and Kenmare by lop sided
scores.
Coach Cutting while not making
predictions as to the. size of the score
says that the local team are in good
condition and full of the fighting
spirit that never quits. If the Orange
and Black team hit their stride and
play the game they are capable Of
the coach believes Minot is due for
an UNPLEASANT surprise.
A big turnout at the game will be
strong encouragement for the local
athletes. Come out and root for Will
liston.

Business Was Good
But Law Interfered

Second hand but perfectly good
machinery and equipment such as
garages find useful was speciality
with John A. Richardson.
Very attractive prices were offered
but an advance payment, "to cover
freight charges" was asked and fre-
quently paid. Richardson, who is
described as sauve and clever, with all
the polish of an expert salesman, is
reported to have done a thriving bus
mess in many Of the larger towns of
the western states. He reached Will
liston and business was still fairly
brisk but this was the last town he
made.
Over at Helena the enterprizing
salesman neglected, it is alleged, some
trifling details that the Montana law
is particular about, such as deliver
ing the goods sold, or something
like that, so Sheriff Rolla Duncan of
Lewis and Clark county sent out cir
culars describing Richardson and Of
fering $50. for his arrest.
q Chief Nolan got his eye on the cir
cular and then on Richardson-presto,
there was bad slump in the second
hand machinery business. Yesterday
Deputy Sheriff Hayes of Helena ar
rived and took the prisoner back
where he is wanted.
Chief Nolan has a nice blue check
that reads "fifty and no one-hundreths
dollars"

Saturday, October Ia, Williston
Day, set new mark in civic achieve

gether time it must be labeled sue
cess from, roast to toast of the long
program of events.
The streets were packed with those
who accepted the city's invitation,
How many came is impossible to say
but it is know that 5000 buns, a
three-year old steer, two barrels of
cider, 100 gallons of coffee and other
items on the menu in proportion dis
appeared in toto and more could have
been used if the. demand had been
anticipated. The OK was beautifully
roasted and as tender and evenly done
and savory as could be expected.
The weather was North Dakota s
best and the throng certainly appear
ed to enjoy the day thoroughly.
The Evening Throng
Many of the out of town visitors
stayed for the evening celebration and
were joined by practically the whole
city, making the greatest assemblege
ever seen on the streets, according to

MURDERED BY THUGS
IN CAR AT STANLEY
LABORER FROM RAY SHOT TO
DEATH WHEN HE RESISTS~
ROBBERS ATTACK

Ray Pioneer-Another murder was
added to the list on Tuesday morning
at Stanley when Lars Olson who had
been working through the threshing
season here on the Gunderson &
Johnson threshing outfit was shot to
death in box car in the railroad
yards at Stanley by trio fthugs
who were attempting to rob Olson and
his companion M. Gillispie.
The murder was committed at l 80
o'clock in the morning while they
were enroute to the Twin Cities. Olson
and M. Gillispie boarded the freight
train at Ray and were riding in an
empty box car and when the train
stopped at Stanley two thugs entered
the car for the purpose of robbing
the boys of their money earned while
threshing. One Of the thugs held a
flash light in one hand and revolver
in the other and made the demand for
Olson to throw up his hands. Olson
was husky young fellow grappled
with the thief and in the mixup was
shot through the heart dying instant
ly AS soon as the shot was fired
Gillispie who was unarmed jumped
from the car and ran to the depot for
help, the thieves and murderers then
became scared and fed from the scene
before they had time to rob the VIC
tim of about $40 in cash and $40 in
travellers checks.
AS soon as Gillispie had given the
alarm Sheriff Slaughter and Coroner
Brigham Of Stanley were notified and
shortly after appeared on the scene
and search of the train for the mur-
derers was made but no one was to be
found
A coronor's inquest was held Tues
day afternoon and the jury rendered
verdict that the death was caused
by gun shot wound from the hands
of some person or persons unknown
to the jury. .....
Suspect Arrested
John Riley a suspicious looking
character who had been hanging
around Stanley Tuesday evening and
who made up his mind very suddenly
to pull out as soon as he heard that
Olson had died from the shot was
afterward arrested. Riley has con-
fessed that he was there at the time
of the shooting, but says that he was
not the man who did the shooting as
he was standing guard at the door of
the car while his two companions COM
mitted the murder. Riley is confined
in the Jail at Stanley and it is not
known at this time what charge will
be made against him.
The authorities are in receipt of
telegram from Ole M. Olson a bro
ther of the murdered man, who is
located at Taylor Falls, Wisconsin, to
the effect that he would arrive Thurs
day and the remains will be shipped
to his old home in Wisconsin.
Lars Olson the murdered man and
his partner Gillispie came to Ray
early in the fall and put in the thresh-
ing season working for the Gunder-
son & johnson outfit and on Monday
when the machine finished up the sea-
sons run. they were paid off with the
rest of the crew, Olson and Gillispie
were going to beat their way to Min
neapolis and later intended to work
in the fields of southern Minnesota
husking corn. Olson was bright |
young man about % years old and
was q hard worker well liked by the |
rest of the threshing crew.

houses the departments of physics
and chemistry and domestic economy.
And every corner of the large base
ment is in constant use, containing
as it does the toilets and lavatories,
ianitors' supply room, shower baths,
boiler room, and coal room, and the
''ungraded room." In 1908 and 1909
re West Lawn school was built, and
at present time each Of the eight
rooms is in constant use, while the
basement contains the boiler room,
the ventilating system, coal room,
manual training room, and meets the
need also Of supply room.
Three years later the temporary
wooden building, "The Annex" was
constructed, and for several years has
been filled almost to Overlooking. with
students Of the Junior High School.
II 1914 the North Wing was built
IS the home Of Senior High School.
The present year marks the erection
Of similar wing on the south side.
When all grades are properly placed
with the new building in use, there
will remain but two rooms to take
care of further growth. The excel
lent growth of the city schools is no
less remarkable than the enthusiastic
effort of the citizens Of the commun-
ity to meet the needs of the schools.

$4,000 FOR STATE
COAL EXPERIMENTS
CONGRESSMAN NORTON HAS
FAITH IN Ignite AND MIS-
SOURI, RIVER TOWNS

"If don't secure $4,000 appro-
priation next year for the purpose Of
furthering experiments in Ignite coal,
700, 100000 tons of which underlies
western North Dakota, l am badly
mistaken" said Congressman P. D.
Norton while in the city on Wedncs-
day attending the Slope fair and look
ing after business matters. "A sub
stitute for gasoline can be secured
from Ignite and this is the most ur.
gent need that the country faces. All
available gasoline will be used in 25
to 80 years, and a substitute must be
found. Prof. Babcock says gasoline
or light oil is contained in Ignite
and so testified before committee in
congress-" Mr.. Norton stated furth-
er about the value of our coal: 'Dye
is contained in Ignite and the nation
also needs dye stuffs badly. Our lig-
mite offers the solution Of two Of the
nations greatest problems, and $780,
900 to experiment for these things
will not be a very large request.
When asked about securing federal
aid to build bridge over the Mis-
souri,, he said: ut can't be DONE
However, the federal aid for state
roads, 100000 of which is available
to the state next year, may be used
to finance such a purpose"
"I believe in the future Of this
particular part of North Dakota, es-
pecially Missouri river towns. The
Missouri will be harnessed some day
within 25 years, is my guess--and
the N. P. itself will be electrified and
get it's supply of power from current
Generated by the current of the mis-
souri, river. Manufacturing will be
called here by cheap power and your
town will be large city. 1t cannot

A Bit of History
Statistics recently placed on file
in Supt. Whites office, show through
the public schools the remarkaDla 3
growth Of the city. These facts are
peculiarly interesting at this time
following the celebration of "Willss-
ton Day."
In 1896 there were 88 pupils in the
school, cared for by three teachers.
In 1900. although there was still no
high school, the teaching force was
increased to seven. and pupils enrolled
numbered 241. Five years later the
records show: 80 in high school, 231
in the grades, and teaching corps Of
eight. The next five wears show .
splendid growth; 701 in the grades,
1870 in the high school, q teachers.
The probable statistics for 1916 are
approximately 800 in the grades, 200
in high school, and a teaching force
numbering 33.
The growth of the schools is fur
ther shown by the history of the
buildings. In 1899 the Central school
building was erected, with the under
standing that this would be ample
for the needs of the city for many
years to come. Instead Of merely the
eight rooms originally planned in use
at the present time, the fourth story

SUICiDE.-m spite of what is said
regarding an individual who commits
suicide, it is in numerous instances
justifable. The stOics praised suicide
as a noble and heroic action, as hun
dTeds Of passages show.
In ancient times how many heroes
and wise men died voluntary death.
Among these may be mentioned An
thOny, Cleopatra and Socrates.
The HindOOs look upon suicide as
a religious act, especially when it
consits of throwing themselves I'M
der the wheels of the chariot of the
JuggernaUt, being eaten by crOcO-
dies in the Ganges or being drowned
in the holy tanks in the temples.
The reasons advanced against sui
eide by the clergy are easily refuted.
The most thorough refutation of
them was given by Hume in his ''Es-
say on Suicide" which appeared
after his death, when it was immedi-
ately suppressed owing to the eccle-
siastical tyranny which prevailed in
England.
The stand taken by the church
against suicide is not supported by
any passages in their bibles,

Iocalize and eventually eliminate
sexual diseases.
The sickly refOTmeTs are the most
dangerous criminals at large today.
Instead Of being fTiends-Of the human
race, they are preparing US all for
future destruction. They set virtue
up on a pedestal and talk about it
constantly. This is bound to be
menace in time in this country, be-
cause Europe is being born iIlegiti-
mate and South America and Mexico
are 80 per cent Legitimate. AS our
refOrmers go on strutting virtue in
the faces of these foreigners on all
sides of us, some day they will resent
these ''hOlier than thou" insinUations
and say Tets clean up those proud
Yankees who brag about their viz
tie" These foreigners will not be
content until we are brought to their
level Of virtue.
If the Committee of Fifteen, the
clergy and deacons, together with all
the UncOmpromising reformers, were
sent to clean up Mexico the country
would get rid of it's worst enemies.
We must remember that pride
goeth before destruction" and proud
Yankees must not act too smart be-
fore peoples Of the earth less VirtuOUs
than we. Come refOrmers, will you
fight? If so, take rifles and carry
out your theories, in Mexico. Don't
ask the poor, inoffensive common
people to fight your battles for you.
