Warden In Favor of
Game Preserves

State Game Warden E. B. Nc
Cutcheon was in Williston Wednes-
day looking after the interests of
deer in this vicinity. With the ex-
ception of reducing the bag limit Mr.,
McCutcheon believes that the game
laws should remain as they are, He.
points out that the game protection
fund is just approaching the point
where surplus can be put aside for
such purposes as establishing game
preserves in various parts Of the
state for the propagation of our
game birds, especially the grouse.
The game protection fund, he
argues, adds not cent to the tax
payers bill as the money all comes
from licenses and is paid by those
who enjoy the privilege Of hunting.
There are many places in the state
where grouse under absolute protec-
tion would increase fast. The coun-
try along the Missouri in this vicin--
ity is ideal as a preserve for botha
grouse and deer:

Soldiers From Citi-
Zens of Mercedes

The people of North Dakota Da-

who made their acquaintance on the
Border. This the memorial from the

"After months of detention here
in camp, you are today, (Jan. 23),
leaving for your northern homes.
The citizens of Mercedes having
fecn witnesses of your daily drill
your fidelity to work-vour soldierly
qualities and manly bearing under
the restraint of inaction-desire to
compliment you upon these facts and
desire to congratulate your COVER
nor and the people of your home state
upon the splendid military efficiency
you have shown under circumstances
most exacting. Our opportunity for
observation has been large and we
submit that the American flag can
never be lowered when defended by
men of your fidelity and character.
"Our homes have been safe, our
people fully protected, while you
have been present, and we desire to
express our deep appreciation of your
service to us and the country. Our
good will accompanies you and may
this and our palms and flowers plead
with you to return and visit us as
individuals in happier times"

Definite Plans
For Night School

A call is made for meeting in
the high school auditorium at eight
o'clock on Monday night, February
19, for all those interested in any
form of night school work. 1t is
the purpose of those who have this
in charge to make the night school
available to all who are unable to
take advantage of school opportuni-
ties during school hours.
Regardless of age or nationality
or degree Of education, all who are
interested are cordially invited to at
tend, and no obligation will rest up
on those who attend the first meet
ing.
1t is hoped to help foreigners to
read, write, and speak English, if
this be desired.
Young people who wish to carry
their education further than they
had done in previous years will be
given training according to their in
dividual needs. For others, courses
will be adapted to the desire and
needs. For instance, with sufficient
demand courses in sociology, or edu-
cational philology, or Introductory
psychology, or advanced English
Shakespeare or Browning-may be
offered. Review courses in arith-
metic, grammar, and spelling; cours-
es in commercial work-bookkeep-
ing, stenography, and typewriting-
may be offered according to demand.
It will be necessary for the night
school to finance itself. That is,
there is slight tuition fee to care
for the expenses of textbooks and
teaching

BLOW CAUSES
MINERS DEATH
JOHN STENSMO MEETS SUDDEN
DEATH AT GRENORA AS RE.
SUIT OF A FIGHT
Frank Palmer Arrested on Charge
of Manslaughter In Second
Degree Is Held

States Attorney Owens and Sher-
iff Strom were called to Grenora late
Saturday evening where a fight had
resulted in the death of John Stensmo,
coal miner.
The evidence later brought out at
the hearing was to the effect that
Stensmo and Frank Palmer, a cook,
became engaged in quarrel in the
Grenora bowling alley and were
elected from the place; They renew,
ed their quarrel on the street and
Palmer struck Stensmo left-handed
blow on the jaw or neck that felled
him. Bystanders soon saw that the
man was seriously injured and re-
moved him to q pool hall and called
a physician. When the doctor arriv-
ed he pronounced that death had re-
suited from a fracture of the first
vertabrae. Stensmo is said to have
been intoxicated and in quarrel
some mood.
A. C. Scott, o. J. Hoehn and Henry
Hentges were summoned as a coro-
ner's jury and rendered verdict in
accordance with the apparent facts.
On the arrival of Attorney Owens
and Sheriff Strom, Palmer was ar
rested on the charge Of manslaughter
in the second degree and taken to
Wildrose for hearing before Justice
Stefonowicz. The defendant waived
examination and was bound over to
the district court, his bond being
fixed at $1,000. The sheriff took the
prisoner back to Grenora where he
succeeded in furnishing bonds.
Both Stensmo and Palmer are said
to be single men.

NARROWLY ESCAPE
q FIRE TRAP DEATH
FORMER WILLISTON MAN AND
WIFE CAUGHT IN BURNING
MINNEAPOLIS HOTEL

Only a combination of great cour-
age and luck saved Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Jensen from death in burn
ing hotel in Minneapolis early Mon
day morning. Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen
until about Christmas, 1916, were
employed in Hedberg's Model cafe in
this city.
Mrs. Jensen leaped from the fourth
floor into an improvised life net and
received severe injuries. Her hus-
band was rescued from a perilous
position on a ledge by firemen. The
hotel was building remodeled from
several separate residences and was
of the worst fire traps, in Mime
apolis. The fate of the former Will
liston people was more fortunate than
that of several other occupants of
the hotel.
The associated press news story
Of the fire, dated at Minneapolis,
February IL, says:
At least 13 persons were known
to be missing and were believed to
have lost their lives in a spectacular
fire which destroyed the Kenwood ho-
tel, Twelfth street and H7nnepin
avenue, shortly after midnight, ac-
cording to police estimates this morn
ing.
Mrs. Lucille Squire suffered frac-
tured skull when she leaped from a
third-story window, and died ct a
hospital.
While several of the injured are
in a serious condition, it was report
ed at the city hospital today that
most of them would recover. One
woman, who became hysterical after
being rescued, raced down the street,
screaming, and froze her feet before
being ,overtaken. Others, garbed in
night attire, suffered terrible expos
ures in the 10-below-zero tempera-
ture.
While the fire was at its height,
Harry Jensen of Williston, n. D.,
and his wife Caroline, crawled to a
window ledge on the top floor.
