ton. She has received many offers
to promote it, but has not yet accent

from points in Minnesota where
they spent month in taking in
the sights and visiting with rela-
tives. They visited at Herman,

Strawberries in the vicinity of Her

so much of this fruit in his life.
Owing to the large amount Of rain
AND bad roads he was compelled
to stay there longer tnan he in
tended to, but this did not worry
him any as long as there was plen-
ty of strawberries to eat. He
says he gouged himself every cay.
and must have eaten at least two
tons in the short time he staid
there. Mr.. Hansen likes the straw
berry business so we'll that he in

WITH A SHOTGUN

Minot, N. D., July 20.-Rasmus
Lesseth Of Carpio was arrested on
a warrant charging him with the
use of unlawful weapons in the
collection of alleged debts. Accord
ing to the story obtainable at this
time, Lesseth claims that Martin
Miller who lives near him, owed
him dollar which the alleged
debtor declined to pay. There
upon, Lesseth sent word to Miller
that unless he paid the dollar he
would shoot him. In pursuance OF
his threat, it is charged in the
complaint that Lesseth went upon
an eminence near the Miller home
and waited there with a gun point
ed in the direction of Miller's res
idence until such time as he could
get an opportunity to collect his
dollar or get shot at. his victim.

placed under bonds to keep the
peace. ,.s

LOOKING FOR BEAR
FIND SECRET CAVE

Velva, N. D.. July 2O.-Emil Sell
berg, rural mail carrier, accom-
panied by George Mcknight, while
hunting for a large black bear that
was seen by many local citizens a
few days ago, came onto myster-
ious looking rock cave that was SO
secluded that the oldest settlers
never knew Of it's existence;
The entrance to the cave, which
in dimensions is about 10x12 feet
and feet in height, was blocked
by q large stone slab, 4x6 feet and
10 inches In thickness over which
soil had washed down from the
hill side. ~
Being unsuccessful in moving
this ponderous stone without pry
Mcknight repaired to a nearby
neighbor, and procured a crowbar
and they together succeeded in re-
moving the obstruction far enough
to admit their ingress to what they
found to. be a rock cave and
seemingly provided by human
hands.
They lit up the dark chamber
with matches as best they coulc
and found two adult skeletons, anc
come infant bones, all in a fail
state of preservation. They are
now on exhibition at DR.. Aker's Of
fee in this city.
Now the mystery to be solved
which is doubtless hidden in tht
march of time, is, how did these
people get in there? The mos
feasible theory is that they were
placed there by some superior foe
and compelled to remain unit
starvation overlook them.
