DEATH OF MRS. ROBERT ROWAN
Passed Away at Harlem, Mont, After
Short Illness From Peritonitis-
Burial Will Be in MinOt

Mrs. Robert Rowan, Jr., passed away
at the Rowan ranch seven miles from
Harlem, Mont, Monday forenoon at II
o'clock following an operation for ap-
pendicitis. Mrs. Rowan became i'll
only the night before and her condi-
ton became so serious that she could
not be removed from the ranch and a
surgeon from Harlem performed the
operation at the Rowan home. Peri
tonitis had already set in.
The remains arrived in Minot on
Wednesday morning and the funeral
will be held from the home of Mrs.
Jane Rowan, mother of Robert Rowan,
on East Central avenue Friday after
noon at 2:3O o'clock. The sermon will
be preached by Rev. j. N. Mackenzie
and the remains will be inferred in
Rose Hill cemetery.
The funeral will be held under the
direction of j. w. Rowan, undertaken.
Mrs. Rowan, whose maiden name
was Ada Blackford, was born at Sank
Center, Mimi, 81 years ago and when
a girl of but eight years accompanied
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin
Blackford, to Minot where she resided
for years, attending school in the early
days. She was a neice of Sheriff
Tracy, Ward county's first sheriff. Her
father resided for a time at Burlington
when that place was the county seat
Her father was one of the early con-
tractors in Minot, building many of
the early day residences. The father
passed away at Deadwood, S. D., ten
years ago and the mother is now seri-
ously i'll with paralysis in hospital
in Portland, Ore.
Besides her parents, Mrs. Rowan is
survived by her husband and five chill.
dren, the eldest nineteen years of age
and the youngest two years. She leaves
also brother, Fred Blackford Of Sar
Francisco and a sister Kent, Ore.

WARD COUNTY
MEN EXEMPTED
Board Of Exemptions Completes First
Lap of its Work-Marred Men Not
Exempted May Appeal.

The Ward county exemption, board
has completed the first lap of it's work
and the names have been forwarded to
the state board. Instructions submit
ted by Governor Frazier from the pro-
vost marshal at Washington embody-
ing the latest interpretations Of Pres
ident Wilson, will undoubtedly cause
some change to be made by the state
exemption board. The presidents in
structions now are that any married
man whose family is in any manner
dependent upon him for support, is en-
titled to exemption. Prior to this the
only way married man could be ex-
empted was to show that there were
no means by which those dependent
upon him could exist without his ef-
forts. Thus, If wife had relatives
bound to support her if she were not
married, they would be required to
support her and the husband would
not be entitled to exemption. The To-
cal board cannot recall it's records and
review it's own acts in these cases. so
that about the only thing to do is for
those who desire to be exempted to
take an appeal to the district board.
States Attorney Herigstad, who repre-
sents the government, questions the
right of these men to do so, but the
members of the board take another
view of the matter.

OF the Minot City Commission, have
already begun Governor Frazier has
reviewed the complaint entered and
has ordered hearing before ref
cree, whom he will appoint to have
charge OF the proceedings After the

that Mr.. Shaw will fight the case hard

cured the services Of some of the best
lawyers in the state.

Brennan and F. L. Watkins, State En-
forcement League Officer, have return

ting out this weeks edition of the
Independent
Mr.. Humphreys operates one of the
machines and Ellsworth George, an
other expert linotype operator, the
other. Two more capable linotype OPP
orators are not to be found in the
state. The purchase of the second ma
chine was made necessary by a big in
crease in the independents newspaper
and job printing business and by the
growth of Mr.. Humphreys business
generally. A battery of two linotype ma
chimes at the Independents plant
gives this concern an opportunity to
turn out big jobs in record breaking
time.
During the past three years Mr.
Humphreys and the Independent have
had a working agreement for the
printing of lawyers briefs and we have
enjoyed a splendid business along that
line. With the installation of the sec
0nd machine we are now in position
to print briefs, or for that matter any
other work requiring large amount
OF composition, in double-quick time
Any lawyer in this section of the state
who has or will have brief to print
will do well to investigate our facili,
ties for doing this class of work

FARMERS. WILL =. ........ .. =. .
:. :. r. PUT UP..HAY
Outfits to be Shipped From MinOt to
Standing Rock Reservation-Land
Leases for rs Cents Per Acre

A meeting of farmers and stockmen
of this section Of the state was held at
the Association of Commerce rooms on
Wednesday afternoon and W. A. Peck,
Better Farming Agent, took up the
matter Of securing hay for the north
west. Mr.. Peck has just returned from
trip of inspection in Minnesota, Wis
consin and South Dakota.
Farmers from Carpio, Foxhotm, Bur-
lington, Surrey and Minot were repre-
sented at Yesterdays meeting. They
decided to hold meetings in their re-
spective localities this afternoon, elect
someone to take charge of getting the
farmers together in their respective
districts and shipping making out
fits down onto the Standing Rock In
dian reservation in the southern part
of North Dakota where good hay land
can be leased from the Indians at 70
cents per acre. Plans are being made
for the directors to meet in Mlnot on
Friday afternoon of this week ana
complete plans for shipping the outfits
Tuesday or Wednesday next.
Each immigrant car will contain lO
horses and complete hay-making out
fits. Mr.. Peck estimates that it Will
cost about $1,000 per ton to put up the
hay, bale it and lay it down in Minot,
after allowing $500 day for each
man and team. This is upland hay and
each acre will cut about three-fourths
of ton. The hay can be put up for
at least 80 days yet and several farm
ers figure on putting up enough to sell
to enable them to get their supply OF
hav free. Others who desire to go in
on this proposition may take the mat
ter up with Mr.. Peck.

TOOK AZ STITCHES
IN BOYS LIVER
Roger, the Eight Year-Old Son of Of
fcer Billy Bakeman, Was Run
Over by Car Driven by
Marvin Northrup

Roger Bakeman, the eight-year-old
son of Officer and Mrs. William Bake
man, was perhaps fatally injured at
about 10 o'clock last night when he
was run over by Marvin Northrup,
manager of the Smith Typewriter Co.
in this city, as he was driving along
First avenue directly in front of the
police station. The lad was picked up
and carried Immediately to local hos
pltal where an operation was perform
ed at midnight 1t was found that the
boys liver had been ruptured and it
was necessary to take AZ stitches in
that organ. The wheels of X. C.
Sweets big Cadillac car, which Mr.
Northrup was driving, ran over the
lads body and the shock was so severe
together with the injury to the liver,
boy can recover Roger stood the or
deal well and at this writing is holding
his own, but there is very slight hope
for his recovery
Roger and some other boys were
playing in the alley opposite the police
station next to the merry y-go-round. A
large crowd occupied the sidewalk and
portion of the street and Mr.. North
iup was uIlviHS MS InacnlNe at 4 mod
crate rate along the street. Roger, not
noticing the car, ran out into the street
directly in front of the car Mr.. North
rup tried to dodge the lad and at the
same time slowed down.
The accident appears to have been
entirely unavoidable under the circum-
stances. Eye witnesses say that boy
was chasing Roger, who ran swiftly
in front of the machine. Mr.. Northrup
states that he was driving slowly and
in this his story is substantiated by
eye witnesses. The boy ran in front of
the machine so quickly Mr.. North
rup could not possibly have stopped his
car in the seconds time that would
have been necessary in order to have
avoided the accident Mr.. Northrup
regrets the accident more than words
can tell, but no one blames him in the
least. He is regarded as a very careful
! driver.
A late report from the hospital
states that the lad is resting easily and
his temperature is almost normal His
condition is more encouraging than at
an time since the accident.

$266 A DAY FOR
THE N|NOT SOLDIERS
33S Hungry Men Are Fed Three Meals
Daily for $266-Men Are Ready to
Leave en- "a Hours Notice.

1t costs exactly $26G day to feed
the 33S soldiers who are stationed in
Minot as members of Cos. A and ID and
the Medical Corps of the Second Reg
iemnt. 1t costs Sis a day to feed
each company, comprising $50 men
and $50 day for the medical corps of
thirty-siX men, besides Co. d is feed
ing eight extra men who will be as
signed to other parts of the army.
1t takes good figuring to feed the
soldiers at such a low figure for they
get the best of everything, tho the
fare may be a tritle plain, which is all
the better for them. And how those
soldier boys do eat after a three hours
hike. For instance, Friday morning
Co. ID went on a three hours hike,
covering ten miles. The boys were
not given amy water during this time
as an effort is being made to toughen
them. They stood the tramp well and
not one asked for water
wednesday morning at eight o.
clock Co. ID marched to the range
north of the city and had rifle prac,
tice. -Four of the boys made a score of
20 out of 25, which is mighty good
work.
Co. ID has but IS guns and Co. A has
received none as yet. The govern,
ment evidently is a little short of rifles
but the factories are working night
and day and this condition will be
remedied in due time.
The Minot companies do not know
when they are to leave They may be
here thirty days yet or they may be
called at any time. They will be ready
to leave on "a hours notice.
