NABbEO At kENMARE

Kenmare Journal: Jesse Lewis
and Leslie Clark, giving their ages
as 10 and 23 years old, were taken
into custody Tuesday morning by
Chief of Police Kinser and 500 Po-
lice Peterson, on the charge of
breaking the seal of box car, and
The officers got wind of the af-
fair shortly after it happened, and
a search of the railroad yards re-
vealed the plant in an empty box
car. The men laid in wait for the
return of the criminals, ard their
patience was soon rewarded and
they took the culprits In charge.
The men were arraigned before
Police Magistrate Jones Tuesday
afternoon, and both showed a dis
position to plead guilty. They
were bound over to district court.
and it is expected that they will
plead guilty before Judge Leighton
within short time. They were
taken to Minot Wednesday morning
by Deputy Sheriff Walstad.
A second burglary was commit
ted the same evening, whe:l thieves
broke into the harrow factory
building, used by Walstad & Com
pany for storing cars and repairing.
They removed a complete set Of
castings from one of the cars stored
there, and also got away with a
bunch of tools. They are still at
large but the police are on their
trail and expect to have the guilty
parties in tow in short order.

DRUNKEN MINERS
ASSAULT MANAGER

Minot, N. D., June 14.-Tom
Domber and Kaismer Strusinki, the
former a Hungarian and the latter
a Polander, were arrested yesterday
at Burlington by the sheriff's office
force and were lodged in Jail on a
charge of assaulting Grover Hart,
superintendent of the Davis mine
near Burlington.
The facts in the case have not
been fully disclosed yet, but it is
certain that some rotten whiskey
was the prime cause of the trouble.
Both men were employed in the
mine. At first there were rumors
that the trouble was the Outgrowth
of nationalities because of the reg
istration, but these are without
foundation. They simply got
drunk and proceeded to attempt to
run things to suit themselves.

Sheriff Had Trouble
With Insane Man

Lisbon, N. D.. June 14.-Thomas
Thompson, suffering from three
bullet wounds, lies in local hos

the wounds being. inflicted by Albert
Thompson, his insane brother. while
Sheriff Ray Craig, of Ransom coun-
ty, battled with the armed maniac
in room at the Thompson home at
Kidville. this county. :, .-=.-.
The insane man was taken to the
asylum at Jamestown Saturday.
For some time Thompson had
been causing trouble in his home
community, but no report of the
affair had been made to the au-
thorities till several days ago.
When Sheriff Ray Craig went to
Thompson's home to take the man
in charge. he had not been appris-
ed of the maniac's condition, so
was unprepared when the man
whipped out a gun.
.Cornered in the room with the
madman, Craig leaped at Thomp-
son, knocking the gun to one side
and as he did so, Thompson pulled
..the trigger. Three bullets were
fired in rapid succession, eacn hit
ting Thomas Thompson. ;. standing
about IL feet away.
One bullet hit Thompson in the
put of the stomach. lodging near
the backbone; another, pierced on
arm, and the third pierced leg.
The madman was finally over

ATTEMPTS
DASTARDLY TRICK

.Anamoose, June 14.-At three
O'Clock on Wednesday morning the
local volunteer fire department was
called out to one Of the Cooke cot
tages in the western part Of town,
when several old burlap sacks soak
ed with kerosene had been carefully
placed under the joists In the base
ment and set on fire. directly un-
der one Of the partition walls. The
fire was soon under control, as it
had not gained much headway for
lack of draft. Upon further in
vestigation it was found that q
small hole had been drilled into the
plaster and through the lath from
the kitchen and kerosene poured
through this directly upon the
planted fire in the basement.
The house was occupied by Her.
man iHohenstein and family, who
were; all sound asleep. They we're
awakened by the crying Of the baby.
They discovered the house was fill
ed with choking smoke and turned
in the fire alarm. No definite clew
has yet been found to the culprit,
but thorough investigation has
been instituted.
About five weeks ago a frame
building on Main street burned to
the ground. At that time the
weather was dry and the fire had
gained such headway that the adj
joining frame post office building
was also set, but no positive proof
has thus far been secured. The
matter, however, has reached SER
ious stage and no efforts will be
spared to nut stop to such gross
lawlessness.

FILE ON LAND
BEFORE ENLIsTING

Inasmuch as the homestead laws
provide that the service of a home
steader in the army or navy during
war. is equivalent to residence upon
the land claimed, and cultivation
thereon, for the same length of
time. and that his entry will be
protected against contest during the
period of service; and a person who
has served IA days in the army or
navy during war may make home
stead entry, though he has not
reached the age OF 21, those who
contemplate enlisting should select
a piece of land somewhere and file
on it now, or later where the appli-
cant is under 81.

An exchange says: Somebody
has been recalling the time, in the
United States, when one could buy
ton of coal for Is cents. This,
however, was the summer price
paid by farmers IN the winter
there was an advance, and the best
one could do was 4 cents a bushel.
For the benefit of persons curious
to know what people did with their
money in those days, it might per-
haps be we'll enough to mention
that. as a rule, they did not have
much to do with.
