terment was made in the Catholic

of which Mr.. Cloone was a member,
attended the funeral in body.
Mr.. Cloone had resided in Minot
for many years. He was for long
time passenger conductor on the Great
Northern, and by his genial ways and
accommodating manner, proved to be
one of the best conductors the road
ever had. He came to Minot about
the time that the G. N road was built
into the city.

ENTHUSIASTIC PATRIOTIC
MEETING OF PYTHIANS

A special meeting of Solon
Lodge No. 46, Knights of Py-
thias, was held at their hall
last Friday night when a large
attendance of the members
met in a patriotic session. The
grand chancellor of Colorado
has requested each lodge in the
state to hold a patriotic meet
ing at which time each member
is expected to pay one dollar
for the Pythian war fund. Sol
on lodge had already subscrib-
ed a large amount toward this
fund and at the meeting Friday
night much more was added.
The Knights of Pythias all
over the country are aiming at
$5OO,0OO for the fund, over
half of which already has been
subscribed, and the balance is
assured by the end of this
month.
The fund is to be used in
emergency cases, to relieve Py-
thians in the service who have
been injured or are i'll and also
to aid their dependents. This
money will not be used as a
duplicate to any of the other
organizations funds but will
be just used in emergencies
and under the supervision of
officials of the order. A COM
mittee will have headquarters
in Paris.
Chancellor Co m m and er
Boutwell, presided over the
meeting. A really inspired ad-
dress was given by S. S. He'll
man, speaker of the evening,
who was never listened to with
more earnest attention or met
with more hearty response.

WAVERLY VOTES
FOR DRAINAGE

Thursday, at an election
held at the Waverly school
house, it was unanimously vot-
ed to put in a drainage system
in that district. The directors
chosen at the election are
Messrs. w. N. Martin, Ellis,
and Henry Sundquist. The
next step will be to appraise
the lands, assess the benefits
and prepare for calling a bond
election, which will be held in
a few weeks.
The Waverly drainage dis
trict comprises about $4,000
acres, lying east of Bowen, and
is partly tributary to Monte
Vista and partly to Alamosa.
H. l.. Morrison of this place
has been employed as engineer
for the drainage committee
and his plans and recommen-
dations were unanimously
adopted by the Alamosa coun-
ty commissioners.

LET Us HAVE GRAND JURY

The peculiar inability of the au-
thorities to cope with the crime wave
which has struck this community has
suggested the need for a grand Jury.
The apathy of prosecution, failure
to obtain Sufficient" evidence, dis
appearance of prisoners, and loose
talk against this government being
permitted, are some of the things
that should be corrected, even if it
takes vigilance committee"

DISTRICT COURT

The regult.. term of District Court
got down to business Monday of this
week after the preceding week had

and setting of cases. The cases
which have been dismissed were: j.
Tracy Wright VS.. Chas. Rand, money
demand, plaintiffs costs: Richard
Bowles VS.. Jess Malouff, money de-
VS.. Nina E. Parker, partition; appli-
cation for habeas corpus of Al In
gram. The case of Jas. f. Blackburn
VS.. Dwight II. Cove was settled.

RAILROADS IN
WAR SERVICE

Outside of the War Depart
ment and railroad circles few
persons realize how much the
railroads of this country have
done and are doing to win the
war. Since the first of last
August they have transported
100000 soldiers to training
camps without a hitch and the
proof of the perfection of the
service is that so little has been
heard about it. Had every
thing gone wrong the country
would have rung with the
story.
Secretary of War Baker
paid the railroads a fitting trib-
ute by saying: This striking
ly illustrates the patriotic coop
GRAFTON of the railroads with
the government and also the
tremendous capacity of Ameri-
can railroads. | think the rail
roads deserve great credit for
this achievement"
Five days after Congress de-
clared war, the chief execu-
tives of the leading railroads
met in Washington to consult
with the Council of National
Defense and pledged them
selves with the government of
the United States, with the
governments of the several
states and with one another,
that during the present war
they will coordinate their op-
erations in a continental rail
way system, merging during
such period all their merely in
dividual and competitive activ-
tiles in the effort to produce a
maximum national transporta-
ton efficiency"
The executive committee of
five then selected now directs
the operations of all the rail-
roads as a single system. In
doing this the railroads acted
voluntarily and no law has
been enacted to enforce co-or-
dination. They have received
no guarantee of compensation
such as the British government
gave to the English railways
which are. assured of the same
net returns that they earned
before the war began.-New
York Commercial.

Ed SEYMOUR ESCAPES JAIL

Tuesday night about ~ o'clock
Ed Seymour, who was incarcerated in
the Monte Vista jail, made his escape
and has not been located since. 1t
seems that Seymour called to Night
Marshal Hadden about midnight to
empty his slop bucket. Hadden un-
locked the cell and the prisoner
pushed the marshal aside, walked
out of the jail and disappeared in the
darkness. The next morning 1t was
found that car had been in waiting
near the lumber yard to help in the
escape. Hadden had been warned
against taking any chances with Sey-
mour but this he must have forgotten
as also the fact that he (the
marshaD had gun.
Seymour's trial was to have been
held on the following day.

LEST WE FORGET

It's an old story, but every term
of court held in Del Norte affords an
occasion for its discussion which
loses nothing in the retelling. For
the past two weeks, and probably
one more to come, S5per cent of the
business of the district court has
been afforded by the East end of
Rio Grande county; S5 per cent of
the attendants at court come from
the East end of Rio Grande county
over road that is so per cent bad; {;
SO per cent of the taxes supporting
the county court house are paid by
citizens living in the East end of Rio
Grande county. And, oh yes, 100
per cent of the prisoners came from
the East end of Rio Grande county.
What is true of the court business
is true in about the same proportion
for the business of the clerks office,
the treasurer's office, the assessors
office, county judges ofifce-and the
3 per cent say that the S5 per cent
of the citizens of the county have
got to stand this inverse ratio pro-
position because we cannot afford
to build new court house in the
East end of the county where it pro-
perly belongs.

THREE FISH FEED $50 MEN

A letter from Bert Maynes
to his brother in Monte Vista
states that the soldiers at Camp
Kearney, California, have good
food and plenty of it. He says
that on the last meatless day
the camp cooks prepared three
fish for $50 men at dinner and
after they had all they could
eat there was fish left. Bert S
idea of the drilling is that it af-
'fords mighty good exercise for
the ordinary man.

RED CROSS ORGANIZATION
OFFERS YOU AN OPPORTUN.
ITY TO HELP THOSE WHO
ARE FIGHTING FOR YOU

Just think-An opportunity for
you to help free the world from Ger
man autocracy.
President Wilson, in his Buffalo
speech, pledges peace to the world
thru destruction Of German autoc-
racy.
The President also said: II be-
lieve that the spirit of freedom can
get into the hearts of Germans and
find as fine welcome there as 1t can
find in any other hearts"
We all know too, that his words
express the truth, and we also know
that permanent peace can only come
20 the world by concentrated force
against the plans Of the pan-Ger-
mans.
Every loyal and true American
must Immediately realize that our in
dependence and freedom are at stake
in this struggle, and that the day has
arrived when sacrifices must be
made.
Within few months million
American boys will be fighting-
that you may live and enjoy the free
dom and protection of democratic
form of government.
If these young men are willing to
give their lives to protect you and
yOur famiIv-couId yo,, do Ioa. ,.a.,
to give your money to help make
their efforts successful?
And do you realize that in a Nigh
ty fighting organization such as this
Government is building up, that ev-
cry part must be efficient A chain
is no stronger than it's weakest link
so if the Army link is strong. the
Navy link strong. the Food link
strong and the Red Cross link weak.
our fighting chain as a whole Is
weak
And do you who are staying home,
realize and know that you and your
money must care for these boys who
are fighting your battles?
Are you Stacker, or are you max
Ing sacrifices-that those who ara
willing to die for you If necessary.
may receive fullest protection and
best of care?
Through the Red Cross Organiza-
ton you can do your part to free the
world from German autocracy.
So let every man, woman and
child give of wealth until it pinches
and hurts, and OF labor until tired
and weary that the Red Cross De-
partment may be made the strongest
and not the weakest link in this
fighting chain, for the freedom OF all
the people in the world.
Do something today. tomorrow
and every day from this time for
ward to protect and care for those
who are fighting for you. And thru
the Red Cross organization Is pre-
sented the opportunity where you
can do your bit and do II effectively.

A jury of six was empanelled Nov
IL to try the case of Maria Quad
alupe Martinez VS.. Pedro Trujillo for
damages. This case occupied all of
Monday until four O'Clock Tuesday
when the jury brought in a verdict
for Trujillo. The case was the Sc
quel to the finding of the dead body
of Bonifacio Martinez in the bed of
Pedro Trujillo several months ago,
the widow now suing for $4,000
damages. The coronor's jury at the
time of the inquest was unable to
find cause of death and could not
connect Pedro Trujillo with criminal
responsibility in the case. Notwith-
standing this, relatives of the dead
man laid out their case and called
large number of witnesses. Very lit
tie new matter was introduced, how
ever, and the jury was not long in
arriving at verdict in favor of the
defendant. Attorneys Pitcher and
Pacheco appeared for Mrs. Martinez
and Neerkamp and Howard for the
defense. Pitcher, in his argument
to the jury directed a TRADE against
the doctors who had testified in the
case and all doctors in general for
their inability to answer by yes or
no questions that would be easy for
a lawyer. Application was made for
a new trial.
Pedro claims that he is a victim of
persecution by his neighbors.
