BIG LYNX GAVE

Sawyer. N. D., Jan. 11.-Chas.
Maxcey, a Sawyer farmer, had a
thrilling experience with a big lynx
which chased him for eighty rods
In broad daylight. Mr.. Maxcey,
who lives a short distance west Of
Sawyer. was walking to that village
when the lynx appeared from out Of
the dense woods. following him
closely. Mr.. Maxcey did not dare
to run, for the ferocious animal
would undoubtedly have sprung up
on him. He had a 20 caliber re-
volver, but feared to shoot, as a
slight wound would have made the
beast more vicious than ever. He
faced the animal and looking him
sduarely in the eyes, backed slowly
away. When he neared Sawyer the
animal disappeared in the woods.
Mr.. Maxcey says the animal was as
large as a dog and showed claws as

FIRST ARREST IN:
DER THE new LAW

Bowman, N. D., Jan. 11.-Iver
Johnson has the distinction or mis-
fortune, whatever you, may want to
call it, of being the first man arrest
ed for blindpigging under the new
law, which went into effect the first
part of this month. This was the
measure voted on at the November
election.
Is seems that Johnson, with two
others ordered shipment Of alco-
holic liquor, something like twelve
quarts-a taste for Christmas-but
it came in Iphnson's name, and that
after having received it, the other
parties who ordered with him, paid
their share of the expense and took
their share of the liquor. This is
a violation of the law.
This way Of ordering liquor has
been praeticed here quite exteu-
sively in the past, by people who
would not sell any Of their ship
ment under any circumstances, and
we doubt If Johnson or the parties
who ordered with him would have
done so, had they had any idea they
were violating this law.
Sheriff Norem is watching this
business pretty close and will make
it hot for all offenders If caught.
johnson was in Jail for time,
but was released on his own recog-
nizance. He is to have a prelimin-
ary hearing before Justice Lowden.

Mandan, N. D., Jan. 11.-H. X.
Jensen, superintendent elect of
county schools, heard the New
Years chimes and renewed his de-
termination to occupy the offices OF
the retiring superintendent, w. R.
Lorin. He wended 3 way at the
dawn Of 1917 to the court house
and proceeded to install new locks
on the official quarters of the Nor
ton county superintendent of
schools.
In his dreams incidental to the
new year, Mr.. Jensen saw his name
neatly lettered on the official portal.
The dream was rudely disturbed
within few hours by heated ar
gument with the man he planned to
succeed. Jensen was at the official
desk when Lorin appeared for duty
and ordered the newcomer out. A
battle In which several blows were
exchanged was stopped by other
county officials.
Lorin insists he will carry the
case to the supreme court, decla:-
ing his would-be successor cannot

commissioners sustain Jensen. Judge

President Anderson charges that the
increases are exhorbitant and in
sists that they do not facilitate the
unloading of cars.
Mr.. Anderson also said he would

thorizing the banks of the state to
loan money on grain stored in local
elevators or bought by local eleva-

shipment, to the amount of seventy
five per cent of the market value of
