WARD IS PREMIER
GAME COUNTY
OVER TWO THOUSAND HUNTING
GIVING NET REVENUE OF $4,000

Ward county is in all probability in
the lead, in North Dakota, in the sale
of hunting licenses, for the year 1915
according to Chief Game Warden Nc
Cutcheon.
In 1914 Ward county was in third
place amongst the counties in the
state, in 1918 in fifth place, and in
1912 in seventh place. Complete state
reports are impossible to obtain. but
unofficially Ward is in first place,
with Cass second, McHenry third,
Stutsman fourth and Ramsey fifth.
Much credit for the sale of licenses
in Ward county is due to the activity
of Chief Game Warden McCutcheon,
who made a resolution last summer
to place Ward County in the lead of
all other counties in the state. Dur
ing the summer he covered the county
quite thoroughly, and was in every
portion of the county, not only once,
but many times, and long before the
season opened, the sale of licenses
had exceeded those of 1915. Had this
not been SO it is doubtful if the rec
ord would have been broken, for af
ter the season opened every person
was so busy that but little hunting
was done until the late fall duck
shooting. With the abundant cover
this year chickens were hard to find,
and not a great deal of hunting was
done along that line. In 1918, the
first season of the present warden, the
sale of licenses was 1867 in Ward. In
the year previous to that but 1900, in
1914 over 1900 licenses were sold, and
in addition five nonresident licenses.
In 1915 County Auditor Thompson
sold 20 5 resident and 8 nonresident
licenses, while the chief game warden
sold Sc resident and 8 nonresident Ii
censes in Ward county, which made
a net revenue from Ward county of
approximately $4,000, and places
Ward county in the lead in the state
as the premier game county. A few
years ago Ramsey county claimed this
honor, and this year she has dropped
to fifth place, and when final returns
are complete, may be even lower
down. This season, while the sale Of
licenses fell off in the Valley coun-
ties, it increased in all counties from
McHenry west.

NORTH DAKOTA EDITOR WILL
ENTER EUROPEAN WAR

A. H. Dasinger, who for some time
has been employed on the Parshall
Post, was in the city Saturday en-
route for Estevan, Sask., where he
will join the Canadian Light Horse
Regiment and 60 into training pre-
paratory to entering the European
conflict. Dasinger is but 20 years of
age, and has a widowed mother and
sister residing at Plaza: He was
their sole support. By birth Dasinger
is an Austrian, and at the present
time has brother in Emperor Fran
els Joseph's army. This will be an
other case where brothers will be
found on opposing sides. Mr.: Da-
singer said it was hard to part from
his mother and sister, but as he had
taken his oath at the time of joining
the Canadian militia two years ago,
he would not back down at this stage,
but take his medicine, come what may.
Dasinger is a fine, manly, clean-cut
young fellow, and it seems pity that
he must offer his life as sacrifice
on foreign battlefield.

SCHWARTZ INDICTED
BY Grand JURY
FORMER MAIL ORDER CLERK IN
MINOT POST OFFICE INDICTED
ON CHARGE OF MISAPPROPRI-
ALTON OF FUNDS.

J. B. Schwartz, former mail order
clerk at the Minot postoffice, was in
dicted by the federal grand jury at
Fargo last week, on the charge Of
embezzlement and misappropriation
of funds. At the time of the arrest
Schwartz furnished bonds and
no charge was recommended by the
grand jury in this respect.
Schwartz is standing pat and says
that he has nothing to fear. He is
of the opinion that if there is short
age, it is merely an error in book
keeping. According to the inspectors
there is an apparent shortage in his
department of about $4,000.
