BoWbe||s Land Company;
A New Business E0ePp Prise

A firm to be known as the Bow
bells Land Company has just been
organized in this city, and is al
ready doing business. The organ
izers are Knute Frosaker, who is
president, C. v. Alldrin, who is vice
president. and Geo. Hansen, secre-
tary and treasurer. The company
has already started listing land,
and is now making arrangements
for an extensive advertising cam
paign in the states east and south
Of here where land is selling at
several times the price it is here.
The new land firm is composed
of three of the biggest hustlers in
Bowbells and there is every reason
to believe that it will enjoy a good
business right from the start. Mr..
Frosaker, the president, is one Of
the owners of the Bowbells 1mple-
ment Co. of this city, and by hard
work and good management he has
built up a trade here in the imple-
ment and automobile line that is
second to none on this side of Mi
not. He has always been truthful
in all his dealings, and his large
number Of patrons have learned to
depend on everything he says. He
has the confidence of the people OF
both the city and surrounding coun-
try.
c. v: Alldrin, the vice president,
has been a resident of Bowbells
since 1912, during which time he
has held the position as cashier of
the Burke County State Bank here.
He is also a hustler and has made
many land deals himself during his
residence here. He has been in
the banking and real estate business
for many years, and his experience
in the past will prove very bene-
fetal to him in his work with the
new firm. He has a large number
of friends among the farmers and
has the confidence of everyone

Burke County
Pioneer IS Dead

Mrs. George Bryant from Lucy
township returned last Tuesday af-
ternoon from Hillsboro, Wis, where
she went two weeks ago after
learning that her mother. Mrs. VIM.
Baldridge. was near death. She
arrived at the bedside OF her par
ent just a short time before death
came. Mrs. Baldridge passed away
on April 80, and the funeral took
place at Hillsboro. The deceased
had been in poor health for a year
or more while living here, but as
her condition became serious she
was moved to the old home in Wis
consin about two months ago, and
although she was given the very
best of attention, nothing could be
done to save her life. She had
been a resident Of Burke county for
many years, and is quite well and
favorably known throughout the
hills country.

Minot Stages Big
Spring C!ean=up

Minot. N. D., May Sin a spec
tacular raid On the city of Minot
last night and during the early
morning hours today, state and
county officials, working with repre-
sentatives of the North Dakota En-
forcement league, made in excess
of sixty arrests, c>osed a great many
places where alleged illegal opera
tions had been conducted, and, all
in all, gave the magic city the most
profound shock it has known in its
entire history.
This morning the authorities
Communicated a suite of rooms in
the Windsor hotel to house the
"over flow, after the county Jail
had been filled to capacity.
Ten drayloads of liquor were
confiscated during the night, and
this morning officials boarded a
500 line train. confiscating addi-
tional booze shipments consigned
to parties within the city, and most
of whom are under arrest.
Still further arrests, States At
torney Herigstad indicated, are in
prospect as a result of the vice
campaign.
The most spectacular feature of
the nights drive was the command
e,ing of the Minot telephone ex-
change by Attorney General Ian
ger, shortly before II o'clock last
night. Placing deputy as guard,
he prevented news of the vice raid
from being spread about the city,
thwarting those who might desire
to fash warnings to other places of
i'll repute.
When last nights vice raid was
complete, the city and county jails
housed motley crowd. Cinnamon
and negro men and women brush
ed arms with whites of more or
less local prominence.
BY 1880 o'clock, those arrested
began applying for the privilege of
freedom under bonds. Men charg-
ed with maintaining common nuis-
ances were permitted to go under
$1,000 bond each, while women
jailed in the drive were compelled
to put up $500 each. By 8 o'clock
this morning nearly half Of the
number had been freed under
bonds.

New Rockford, N. D.,-Every gun

sportsman is invited to join the
Game and Fish board in aiding in
enforcing the law. in preserving.
propa pagating and protecting game
and fish.
Dr.. Chas. MacLachlan, president
OF the board, has asked every news
paper in the state to give publicity
to the fact that the board invites
every gun club ano every sportsman
to submit the name of one or more
responsible men to act as special
deputy game warden in various To-
calities of the state. The gun clubs
are asked to submit as many names
as may be deemed necessary to en-
force the law in the locality where
clubs are maintained.
There is going to be no politics
in the administration of the game
and fish laws during the next two
years." says President MacLachlan.

with! whom he has done business.
Geo. Hansen, the secretary and
treasurer, has been register of
deeds of Burke county ever since
the county was divided from old
Ward, having been elected every
two years on the democratic ticket
and in most instances with repub-
lican candidate running against
him. He probably has larger ac-
quaintance among the farmers OF
the county than any other resident
of this city, and the heavy vote he
polledi at each election shows that
he isfjust as popular as he is widely
known. His experience in the coun-
ty Office will assist him greatly in
his. work with the land firm. He
is also a convincing talker, and
should have no trouble talking pros
pective buyers into anything.
We believe the combination above
to be about as strong as it would
be possible to find among the busi-
ness men of Bowbells, and we are
also of the opinion that any land
listed with this firm will receive
more of the right kind of attention
than if it were listed with any 9TH
er land firm in the world. Each
one of the gentlemen will devote as
much of their time as possible to
the new enterprise, and will work
in connection with the immigration
department of the 500 Line and a
large number of dealers in real es-
tate in the east. We would advise
our readers who want to sell their
land to list same at once, as a big
advertising campaign is now being
arranged and you want your farm
to be among the list sent out. Even
if you object to listing your place
for sale, but want to sell it, it
would be well for you to call on
any one Of the members of the
firm and talk it over.

90 YOUR B|T;
PLANT A TREE

A large number of the people in
Bowbells and vicinity have been
busy during the past week planting
trees. Part of these trees were
shipped in last fall and were heel
ed in over winter, while others
were shipped in this spring. It
seems that the hail last August kill
ed large number of trees. in Burke
county and they will have to be re-
placed with new ones this spring.
Probably the heaviest planter of
trees in Bowbells this spring is
States Attorney H. A. Hanson, who
has about one and one-half acres of
ground pretty we'll covered with
every kind of tree and shrub that
grows in this section of North Da-
kota, including a number of ever
green's. He suffered very heavy
last August on account Of the hail,
but takes it as matter of course
and is planting heavier than ever
this spring. Many others in the
city are also planting large numbers
Of trees, all of which will add great
ly. to the beauty of the city in an
other few years.

YOUNG HORSE Thief
MAKES GETAWAY

Minot, N. D., May 10.-Jacob
Longre, self-confessed horse thief,
who was captured in Canaoa AFTER
having broken parole, escaped from
the Ward county Jail about eight
O clock Saturday morning. He
went east from the jail, going down
into Riverside park and then dou-
bled back into the city. 1t is be-
lieved that he got out of the city
on freight train. Officers are now
looking for him.
Longre is a desperate character.
Three years ago, he stole q horse
and buggy from a Berthold farmer,
drove the rig to near Carpio, where
--e abandoned the buggy ana mar
ness in a coulee. He rode the horse
to his home near Kenmare, where
he was living at the time. ne was
arrested and given sentence Of
three years in the penitentiary. He
was paroled. but broke. his parole
and was recently arrested at Wey-
burn, Sask., and returned to Minot.
He soon was to begin serving his
3-year sentence at Bismarck.
Longre got away from Jail by
tricking his jailor.

YOUNG FARMER
SUDDENLY KILLED

Stanley, N. D., May 1O.-Just as
we go to press we learned that
Clarence Kordahl, one Of the popu-
lar young farmers who lived few
miles north of Stanley, was instant
ly killed this morning while he
was repairing his automobile.
He had the rear of the car jack
ed up and was under it taking out
the housing when in some manner
probably the wind swerved the
car to one side-the jacks slipped
out Of place which let the car
down on him. His chest was
crushed and the doctor says death
was instapeous.
His brIaRer. Walter. who had
been working in the field went down
to the place, which was only a
short distance from the Kordahl
home, at noon to help Clarence and
he found him dead. The doctor
was Immediately notified and he
said that he had been dead two
hours.

.BERTHOLO MAN
GETS LARGE sum
FOR POTATOES
-

Berthold, N. D., May 10.-L. R..
Colvert, one of the pioneer potato
growers of this section, has just
sold a carload of potatoes to a Lin
coin, Neb., firm for which he re-
ceived the handsome sum of $2011.-
45. This we believe is the largest
sum ever received in this communi-
ty for a carload of this product.
Berthold potatoes have nation
wide reputation and we are inform
ed by southern buyers that pota-
toes from this section bring pre-
mium of 25c per bushel in st. Louis
and other southern markets. Our
potatoes are unusually sound and
free from diseases, and possess a
quality that makes them especially
desirable for seed purposes in east
ern and southern states. Great
care must be exercised by our grow
ers in raising pure and disease-free
potatoes if they would maintain
their present reputation, and the
shippers should use due care in
sending out potatoes in the best
condition possible if they hope to
hold the confidence of the buyers.

Village Sleuthing
Results in Surprise

Van Hook, N. D., May 10.-All
was astir in this quiet little village
last night until Night Policeman
Ingvald Erickson discovered light
and some ':unusual maneuvering
in the Erickson-He office.
Someone was tampering with the
safe, thought the village chief.
He recruited a number of young
men of the city. Ingvald was the
first hero to enter the building.
Behind him was the bunch of sharp
shooters. A prostrate form lay on
the floor-from fright.
The combination of the lock had
been lost and Oscar Furuseth, the
village blacksmith, had been hired
to. pry the safe open.
