parently was hard-working man. His
clothing was clean and the general ap-
pearance Of his body was good.
States Attorney Herigstad is inves-
tigating the matter. Doctors will
make an examination to determine
whether or not the man died of pois-
oning. 1t is possible that this is a
case of suicide. Brown has partner

ing made to locate him.
The man had dollar bill in his
pockets and few personal effects

lives. Both Mr. and Mrs. Almy have
life passes over the entire Great Nor
thern system.
Mr.. Almy is II years of age and
has seen 43 years of engine service
From 1874 until 1882 he was employed
on the St. Paul & Pacific railway,
which later became the Great North

has been connected with the Great
Northern. Most of this time, he has
resided in Minot.
During all of that time, Mr.. Almy
was in but one wreck. That was in
1887, when his engine went thru a
bridge. Mr. Almy was seriously in
jured, suffering a fracture Of the leg
and other injuries which laid him up
for eight months, four months Of that
time he being in the hospital. He was
seriously burned at that time and car
ries great scars to this day. His en-
gine dropped eighteen feet with cars
piled on top and his escape from death
was d miracle.
For many years Mr.. Almy was a
close friend of the late James ]. Hill,
who regarded him as one of the most
efficient engineers in the employ of the
Great Northern.

Many Things at Convention That
| Will Help Minot Organization.

The Independent received an inter-
esting letter from Will E. Holbein,
secretary of the commercial club, who
attended the national meeting of COM
mercial club secretaries at Cleveland,
O., last week. Mr.. Holbein is attend

HOW GEAR Teeth
ARE TESTED
Dodge Brothers. Engineers Develop a
Machine to Measure Force
Needed to Break Them

Every part that enters into a high
grade motor car must pass a series of
rigid tests. In the plant Of Dodge
Brothers, acknowledged to be one of
the best of the industry, nothing is left
to chance Every part is not only thor
oughly tested but so carefully are
tests conducted that it is definitely
known just what each part will stand.
In testing the teeth Of gears the or
dinary test has been to deliver pow
erful blow against the teeth. The ef-
feet of the blow was easily apparent
but it was impossible to measure how
much force had been expended. The
problem was put up to the engineers
of Dodge Brothers and they developed
a machine that delivers the blow and
at the same time measures the force
used.
The principle is the same as though
a workman took a chisel, placed it
against a tooth and struck the chisel
with a hammer. In the case of the
machine a sharp blade is forced
against the tooth with heavy impact
and on a dial the cleft over energy" is
registered. It is a simple matter of
mathematics then to calculate the
amount of force needed to break the
tooth.

NEIL DUNCAN
TYPHOID victim
Popular Minot Young Man Stricken
by Dread Malady After Illness
of Only Ten Days ~

Neil Duncan, twenty-year-old son of
Mrs. w. w. Duncan of this city,
passed away Tuesday morning at 6
o'clock after an illness of ten days
from typhoid fever. The funeral was
held from the Methodist church this
afternoon at 2:3O o'clock and inter-
ment made in Rose Hill cemetery.
A week ago last Sunday, after pack
ing his trunk, he went to the Great
Northern depot intending to leave for
Grand Forks to begin his second year
of work at the university, but he felt
so i'll that he returned home hoping
to feel better in a day or two. The dis
ease took such a hold on him that his
condition soon became very serious
and his case was regarded, almost
hopeless from thence on.
Neil was one of the finest young men
of the city. He had lived here ever
since he was a little boy and a year
ago graduated from the Minot high
school with honors. He was general
favorite with teachers and schoolmates
as we'll. He was good Christian
young man and regarded very highly
by a great concourse of friends. He
leaves a broken-hearted mother, a
brother and a sister who have the sin
cerest sympathy of all. The
future for this young man appeared
the very brightest and his loved ones
receive consolation only in the thought
that his taking must have been willed
by the All Wise Ruler of our destiny.

Well Beloved Minot Woman Died at
Home of Sister Following Long
Period of Suffering

Mrs. Christine Thompson, aged 6S
years, passed away at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Erick Ramstad, in this city
Friday afternoon after long illness.
Just year ago she suffered an injury

cred. Since that time she has been
bedfast and although she was a great
sufferer, she bore her trials with great
fortitude.
The funeral was held from the First
Lutheran church Tuesday afternoon at
2 o'clock, interment being made in the
Lutheran cemetery. The services were
in charge of the pastor, Rev. T. F.
Gullixson.
Mrs. Thompson is survived by seven
sons, who reside in the Canadian
northwest and in Montana. Her hus-
band died some years ago. She came
to this city from Grafton, but home
steaded near Edmore, N. D., in the
early days.
Mrs. Thompson was an exceedingly
lovable old lady and many friends will
miss her.

No Poison in Jozef Brauen's Stomach

No Poison in Jozef Brauen's Stomach
An autopsy was held Wednesday
over the remains of Jozef Brauen, the
Austrian found dead in the New York
hotel the day before. Doctors were
unable to find any trace of poison in
the mans stomach, so it is not be-
lieved that he committed suicide. His
companion was located Tuesday even
ing. He stated that Brauen had beer
working for Geo. w. Kemper on the
construction of sewer main. A week
ago he drank heavily and complained
Of stomach trouble. The man claimed
to be an Austrian and said that he had
several brothers living in the old
country. The remains were buried
Wednesday afternoon.
Chief of Police Dougherty has iden-
titled the man by letters found on the
clothing. It has been learned that he
recently received treatment from DR.
Owen of Rhinelander, Wis. The chief
received call from Whitewater, Wis.
yesterday, but the message could no,
be gotten thru. It is presumed thai
the message was from some o.
Brauen's friends. The doctors who
examined the body are positive thai
the man died of natural causes and NJ
inquest will be held.

SPECIALIST" DID
NOT HAVE THE
PROPER LICENSE
DR.. O. B. Hayden Left Minot PrOmis.
ings Never to Practice Again in
North Dakota if Let Go

"Dr." o. B. Hayden, who advertises
himself as specialist from the med
ical department of the University of
Michigan with 30 years. experience in
the treatment of chronic diseases and
deformities without surgical operation,
appeared at one of the hotels of the
city Wednesday morning, according to
advertisement, but he ran against a
good-sized snag and soon locked up
his medicine chest and left the city.
Fact of the matter is, the doctor is
without a state license. States At

tor early that morning and found that
he was practicing under a license is
sued during the territorial days when
the doctor was living in what is now
South Dakota. The states attorney
conferred with Secretary Williams of
the state medical board and found that
the license was void. The doctor wish
ed to secure permission to complete
his tour of North Dakota, as he had
visions of bulging pocket books and he
wanted to get back some of the good
money that he spent for. advertising,
but the officials would not listen to
him. He promised that if he were not
prosecuted, he would leave the state
at once.
The doctor admitted that he had not
made much money practicing in South
Dakota and that he found these trips
very profitable. He advertises that he
treats all troubles from worms to con-
sumption, diseases peculiar to the
young, the middle aged and the old
He was ready to accept money from
all comers. It is we'll that the officers
stepped in and blocked his little game
for there were numerous patients in
the city looking for the doctor after he
was gone. One farmer from Des Lacs
had blood in his eye. He stated that
he had made long trip through the
mud on purpose to see the renowned
specialist and he threatened to bring
suit against the doctor because he was
not on hand.
The doctor is located at little coun-
try town down in South Dakota and
while he may have graduated years
ago from medical school, he is nc
more of specialist than any other
doctor practicing in North Dakota

is much better to stick to the home

onions are perennial and increase by
roots and tip sets, they are more ten
der when a new bed is put out every
year instead Of allowing them to null

These onions never grow large
bulbs. In fact the bulb is little if any
larger than the stem. But it is white
and tender early in the spring. 1t is
slightly stronger in flavor than ordi-

soaking the onion for an hour or two
in salt water just before using will
dissipate some of the flavor.
