CROWDfR WILL,
CLAIM SELF Defence
Ross Man Who Shot Albert Olson
Says the Man Followed Him
to His Home.

Albert N. Olson of Ross, who was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded by
VIM. Crowder during a fight at Ross
Wednesday evening, is still alive but
he cannot recover the doctors say. He
is conscious but part of the time as
he has to be given opiates to keep
down the terrible pain.
Olson states that he followed Crow
er to the latter's home that night, but
he was not armed. The men had some
words and Crowder went upstairs and
got his revolver. Olson said that they
mixed out in Crowder's yard and that
Crowder pulled his gun and shot him
twice. There seems to be difference
of opinion as to whether the shooting
was done on Crowders' property or
not.
Crowder has not secured the ser
vices Of an attorney yet as he'is hope
full of going free at the hearing which
will be held just as soon as Olson dies
or shows signs Of recovery. He will
undoubtedly plead self defense and it
appears that he will be able to put up
good defense. 1t is said that Olson
had been drinking some that day. The
men had not had any words that day
but have been on the outs for num-
Der of years.

HELPED STANLEY
P|CCER TO ESCAPE
FROM JAIL
Stanley Man Probably Received AS.
sistance from Minot Woman in
Getting Liberty.

Stanley, N. D., Nov. I'M. Arnold,
recently convicted for pigging and
sentenced to serve ninety days in the
county Jail here, escaped sometime
Thursday night and until midnight
last night no trace of him has been
found. Assistance was given the pris-
orer from the outside and it is thought
the accomplice was his sister She liv-
ed with Arnold at the Lexington hotel
here when the officers arrested him
for selling liquor. She also faced a
charge and was let off with a fine.
Since then she has been living in Mi
not but was seen in Stanley Thursday
afternoon. 1t is thought that she
sawed the bars on the window of the
Jail, got inside and opened the cell.
They both evidently escaped by the
window and as the sister owns an au-
tomobile it is quite probable that she
had the car close by. The popular
supposition is that they fled toward
the Canadian boundary
The jailer was sleeping in the Jail
at the time Arnold escaped, but there
was not sufficient noise to disturb him.
He believed everything was alright
until he looked in Arnold's cell yes
terday morning.

SENATOR BOND VOTED
FOR LOWER INTEREST

LuICOT u Clle 1lluepcIlucIlI.
Having heard that some Of the leg
islative candidates of the goth district
have been circulating a report to the
effect that Senator Bond voted against
the interest bill at the last session of
the legislature, would say from my
own knowledge that Senator Bond did
nothing of the kind but supported the
bill, as may readily be seen on page
14O of the Senate Journal of the 1915
session, Mr.. Bond voting for the bill.
In fact only one senator voted against
the bill and that was Mr.. Hughes Of
Bismarck. Would say further that
during the two sessions l served as a
House member, Mr.. Bond occupied a
seat in the Senate and served his con-
stituents faithfully and with ability
and is therefore deserving of better
treatment, even from the opposition,
and should by all means be returned
to the Senate, where he can better
serve the people than can new and
inexperienced man. l hope that the
voters of the 29th district will stand
manfully by Mr.. Bond
Yours very truly,
S. H. PITKIN,
A Farmer.

ORGANIZATION
Banquet and Program at Waverly Ho-
tel Monday DECENTRALIZATION, Wig
ham and Morgan Were Speakers

The Minot Town Criers cuban or
ganization of hustling, progressive
spirits, interested in advertising and
publicity work, held their first meeting
Of the autumn Monday evening, the
session being held at the Waverly no.
tel where a delicious banquet was
served by the management, after
which the members took up the SER
icus work of the evening. VIM. Wig
ham, editor of the new farm journal
which was recently launched in this
city, read the first paper, advertising
and the Farmer" This paper was an
exceptionally good one and will be
published in full in subsequent is
sue of the Independent. C. E. DeNoon
Of the Mccoy Department store and
president of the club, presented the
next paper, one brimful of suggestions
and observations, concisely stated and
pertinent to the affairs of every day
business or professional life.
Kent Morgan of the Union National
Bank took for his subject "Bank Ad-
vertising" His remarks were full Of
interest and showed thorough famil-
iarity with a subject with which the
average citizen is wholly unfamiliar.
Each paper was discussed rough shod
and issue taken with many of the
ideas presented, many valuable sug-
gestions being brot out as result.
The Town Criers Club is destined to
assume position of considerable i'm
portance in the business and civic
welfare of our city and every business
man should see that he is represented
IL the membership, either in person or
by preventative. Professional men
as well should have fuller represen-
tation in the councils and deliberations
Of this club. The ones present at
Monday evenings session We're: R. L.

Flowing Well at Sanish Has Curative
Qualities.

Angus Mcdonald, proprietor of the
Dacotah hotel of this city, informs the
Independent that E. B. Larson, who
resides eight miles south of Sanish, N.
D., has bored we'll $50 feet deep

feet above the surface Of the ground.
The water is soft and appears to have
important medicinal qualities. The
people from miles around come to the
we'll for water which they believe has
curative qualities for stomach all
nlents. Mrs. Mcdonald, who is resid-
iEg on homestead with her daughter,
Miss Sibyl Mcdonald, drank the wat
ec three weeks and states that she
has been completely cured from stom-
ach trouble of long standing. The
well is located in the Missouri river
valley, about one-half mile from the

Origin of "PIagiarist."

One who pproprlates--that is, steals
the literary work Of another to use 1t
as his own thought, the child of his
own brain, Is guilty of plagiarism, as
everybody knows. yet few are acquaint-
ed with the derivation of the word or
know that the plagiarist is literally
child stealer. Among a certain class OF
criminals in Rome in the time of the
earlier Caesars there existed the fear
full custom Of stealing children and
selling them as slaves. According to
Roman law, the child stealers when de-
tected received as part of the penalty
for their crime severe fiogging. AS
the Latin word playa signifies a stripe
or lash, the ancient kidnapers were
termed "plagiari'- that is, deserving of
stripes. So both the crime and the
criminals received their names from
the castigation inflicted.

CAN'T KEEP BOY OUT OF WAR.
American Youth Resists All Efforts to
Send Him Home,

London.-Norman Bruce Wallis. an
eighteen-year-old American from New
Orleans, enlisted as private in the
British army some months ago. Three
attempts have been made by his fam
lily. through the American embassy, to
get him back to the United States, but
the lad is still in the army, fighting in
France with a Scottish regiment.
When he was released from his regi-
ment the first time and arrangements
made for his passage to America he
missed the connection by enlisting In
another regiment All the formalities
for his release were again gone
through, and an official of his embassy
personally installed him in the home Of
some friends to await the sailing date
of the boat in which his passage had
been taken.
Wallis, however, returned to his old
regiment, where, through a misunder-
standing, he was arrested for deser-
tion. Punishment was averted by off,
cial explanations. and today Wallis
now known as Norman Macgregor
Bruce-is with his unit in France.

SNAKES IN HOUSE: NO GHOST.
After They Were Killed Mysterious
Noises Stopped.

Barboursville. W. Na.-The mystery
that has for years surrounded the
haunted house on the bill back of here
has been solved as result of Green
Simpkins, Logan county miner. his
wife and his six children moving into
the house.
Peculiar noises have emanated from
the building at night and for months
weird stories have been told of the
wraiths holding carnival there.
Simpkins, stranger, didn't know
the house was haunted" Mrs. Slmp-
Hns had occupied the place only short
time when the mysterious sounds terri.
fed her.
She took a gun and went upstairs.
where she found the cause of the noise
in the maneuvers of dozen black
snakes that had taken charge of that
part of the building. She was so
frightened she dropped the gun and
screamed for help. Two men passing
heard the screams and they entered
and gave the snakes a battle 1t was
an hour before all were killed with
clubs and stones.

MIKE HICKEY TELLS
OF HIS REFORMATION
Ex-Pickpocket, With Twenty
Years. Prison Record, Talks
to 400 Men.

Mike Hickey. once a notorious pick
pocket, with record of nineteen and
a half years behind prison bars, told
400 men at the Harlem branch Y. M.
G. A., New York, how he Strengthened
out and how other inhabitants of the
underworld could be helped to do the
same.
Mikes career as thief lasted until
about four years ago. when he wan
dered, fresh from Sing Sing, into the
CremOrne mission, ON Thirty-second
street. 1t ended there. Now he is night
man at the Bowery Y. M. G. A. and
passes his spare time helping his old
pals from Dannemora and Sing Sing
to get their feet on the straight and
narrow"
The trouble with the newly emerged
convict, he said. was the old story-out
into the world with $40 bill and a
wish to keep straight; job until cop
told the boss Of his record, then no
more job; broke; one more trick to get
money to eat; caught, and back to.
prison.
What the convict needs Is bit Of
belief and encouragement when he
starts to reform, said Hickey, adding
that more and more the employers are
beginning to give this, so that many
men with long records as criminals are
now taking their places in honest life.

Klamath Falls, Cal-Loade,i doys,.
with newly found Indian relies, includ-
ing pipes. stone war hammers, dishes,
grinders, -seventy-iive arrow heads, ten
spear heads, several knives, eleven
mortars and more than 100 pestles, ].
@. Rutenic, A. G. Yaden, Floyd Bran
denburg and George Snyder, members
of the recently organized Klamath His
torical association, returned recently
from ten days research expedition
through the lava beds.
These beds, lying just across the Cali
fornia line in Modoc county, were the
seat of the Modoc Indian war and have
furnished many valuable relics during
the last few years.
Most of those found on the present
trip were gathered along the receding
shore Of Tule lake, which is being
drained at the hands of the United
States reclamation service by divert
ing Lost river, which formerly flowed
into it.
