GOOD SENTENCED
TO SPEND NEXT IS
YEARS IN PRISON
DRAWS LONG PENITENTIARY
TERM FOR UNNATURAL
CRIME,
Makes Oratorical Plea to Judge w. C.
Crawford-Dazed When Sentence
Was Passed.

To serve 18 years at hard labor in
the state penitentiary is the sentence
imposed by Judge w. C. Crawford
upon Andrew j. Good on Saturday
morning last. For about "a half an
hour prior to the passing of sentence,
Good talked to the Judge, setting
forth alleged reasons why he should
have the leniency Of the court. The
Judge turned deaf ear to the mans
oratorical efforts, however, and
passed sentence which meets with
the hearty approval OF almost every
person acquainted with the details Of
the case. When he heard the sent
ence, Good seemed to fall into a daze
for a time, and apparently did not
hear what was going on. The jail
keeper had to almost drag him for
chilly from his place before the Judges
desk.
Andrew J. Good, who has been
travelling in North Dakota, Montana
and other states, posing as a white
slave reformer and lecturer, was ar
rested at Columbus, Montana, a few
weeks ago by Sheriff Brown Of Stark
county, upon the complaint of his
little 13-year-old daughter, Ruth, who
was residing with a friendly family
at Taylor, east of Dickinson. The
little girl made allegations that her
father had subjected her to unnatural
relations upon several occasions.
Good is about 45 years of age, and
came originally from Iowa. He re-
sided for some time at Elk River,
Minnesota, later coming to Stark
county with his three children, from
a former marriage. About three
years ago he married the daughter Of
a pioneer family of Taylor. It is al
legged that he soon tired Of his young
teacher wife and again took to his
fanatical ramblings throughout North
Dakota and Montana, posing as a
white slave detective and reform lee
turer. His wife continued to teach
school in this vicinity, while the two
younger children were left with
friends. Good came back occasion
ally, and upon these occasions COM
mitted the alleged crime.
Juvenile Commissioner Walter Ster-
land of Dickinson heard a rumur Of
what was going on and made a
tnOrOugn 1nVeSClgaClOn OF Cne mdCCer
with the result that Good was ar
rested, and subsequently plead guilty
to the charge.
Ruth, who has been staying with
Rev. and Mrs. R. H. Craig of this city
for several weeks, left Monday fol-
Helena, Montana, where she is tc
enter a deaconess school. Her broth
er, Vincent Good, holds a lucrative po-
sition at Helena and will look after
his sister.

SLAPS GIRL BECAUSE
SHE REFUSED TO DANCE

Nick Gerber, residing east of Lefor
was arrested on Wednesday by Sheriff
Brown, on the charge Of assault and
battery, the complaining witness be-
ing Miss Minnie Bigelow, a young
school teacher of the Lefor vicinity.
The trouble took place at a dance
a few nights ago. Gerber, it is al
legged, asked Miss Bigelow to dance
with him. AS he was a stranger to
her she refused, whereupon Gerber
became angry and it is alleged
struck her in the face and upon the
body. Gerber, so it is said, was under
the influence of liquor and did not at
the time realize what he was doing.
Miss Bigelow accompanied the
sheriff to Gerber's home and the ac-
cused man decided that the easiest
way out of the deal was to accompany
them back to Dickinson and plead
guilty to the charge. This he die
and was assessed $41.4O in fine anG
costs by Justice A. P. Folsom. III
Immediately after the verdict was
rendered Miss Bigelow signified hel
intention of commencing a suit fol
damages. By this time Gerber was
evidently frightened and asked if {
settlement could not be arrived at
Miss Bigelow finally decided to with
hold action provided she was paid $7t
for loss Of time and other damages
This the defendant agreed to do ant
paid the money over by check.

CITY HALL UNDERGOING
ELABORATE REPAIRS

The city hall has undergone some
marked changes for the better within
the past couple of weeks. The coun-
Gil room has been redecorated
throughout, fine new vault has been
built and a toilet room installed. The
old we'll in the basement has been
filled up, and the entire building COM
pletely renovated. Broken bricks in
the exterior have been replaced with
new brick, and general overhauling
given the entire structure.
There is now some talk of building
an addition to the west side, to cover
the remainder of the lot, and con-
tain city justice chamber, CONNER
cial club rooms and possibly city
Jail. This project will undoubtedly be
discussed in detail in the near future
and some action taken.

popular republicans in both the east

will undoubtedly be accorded the
