Williston, N. D., Feb. 2s.-The local
police, sheriff and states attorney have

WATER WORKS SYSTEM
PLANNED FOR RHAME

Rhame. N. D., Feb. 2S.-One of she
most important matters taken up at
the last commercial club meeting was
the water works question. H. L. Cory.
civil and municipal engineer of Baker.
Mont, was present and gave a good
talk on the subject and the method of
financing the undertaking.
1t is now possible to put in this
improvement under the Improvement
district plan. The cost is estimated
at between $40 to $50 per lot and
would be assessed against the land,
payable in ten equal yearly payments.
The lots are assessed according to
area, not according to their valuation,
and only the plated portion of the
village would be assessed.
1t is estimated that about so per
cent of the cost would fall on non
residents. or the Milwaukee Townsite
Co. and the railroad company.
The commercial club appointed p
committee to take the matter up with
the town board and to urge that they
take action at once.

MANS LIQUOR

Dickinson, N. D., Feb. 2S.- Joe
Kuntz and wife. who live on the
south side. were in Judge Folsom's
court on complaint of another Joe
Kuntz. who lives southwest of the
city. 1t is alleged that the first named
man and wife appeared at the freight
house and signed up for a shipment
of liquor Along came the other Joe
Kuntz and demanding his shipment
and when he learned that his name
sake had possession of the goods
complained to the authorities. The
arrest followed and the parties held
to the district court under 5000 bonds
which was furnished, it having de-
veIoped that the Kuntz who signed
for and obtained possession of the
shipment did not have an order for a
shipment placed with any liquor
house.
This is the first case of this kind to
come up in this section of the state
under that particular part of the
stringent prohibition law.
