County, operated by n. W Willis

The mill was first placed on Tho
Indian reservation u,vaus

charge of water on the reservation
claimed that it was Objectionable
because Of danger of pollution of "

Is PATRON SAINT Of BIRDS
Squirrels Depend on Asylum Inmate
for Their Supply of Butternuts
In Winter.

"The patron saint of birds and squir-
rels' Is happy. And though he is sixty
years old and has been patient Of
the state hospital for the feeble-mind-
ed for SO years, his hair is brown and
wavy, his eyes are bright and spark
ling and his health is good. He has
been in the institution more than half
of his life, but his life seems to be
more sane than the lives of the thou
sands who have outstripped him in
the life race-ard have become
wrinkle-cheelled, blear-eyed and hard,
fisted.
Albert Gentle has forgotten the
world, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
He was entered in the hospital in 1880
because he loved the small animals
and food of the forests. He has been
there since, spending most of his timc
gathering nuts or eommuning with ma
ture, never expressing the slightest de.
sire to get back to the outside world.

He said it quietly, with dignity. I'M
aginatiyely he somehow emerged from
the character of an old simpleton,
clothed in an absurd, rusty frock coat,
trousers of another day and genera;
appearance of Washington Irving's
schoolmaster and became the sancti-
fed keeper of great trust. What
was more important than caring for
those little animals?
Most people do not know how i'm.
portant it is that we should always
think of the tiny bits of life that God
has put on this earth," he said slowly.
"Often they do not think of each

Queer Ideas About Snakes.

The people of Uruguay have some
queer ideas and superstitions. One
is that, if one throws a live snake into
q fire. it will stick out its legs, which
it keeps concealed under its scales.
This idea probably arose from the
scales sticking outward as the snake
felt the hea,. Another idea is that for
every snake one kills during Easter
week one Is let off year in purgn-
tory.

Good Health Waits on Digestion.

Cheerfuness and stoutness are gen.
orally found together. Fat is probably
the result of good digestion. because
food eaten Is readily changed by the
processes of the body into living tis-
sues. The flesh of your body may be
measured by the ability of the diges-
tive structures to get the full measure
of worth out of the food consumed.

RANCH HAND
DRAWS VEIL
ON HIS LIFE
SPENCER TENNIS FIRES DEATH
SHOT THROUGH BRAIN, DY-
ING INSTANTLY,
Suicide Occurs at Diamond C Ranch
No Motive Assigned for Act
Was "a Years of Age,

Sending a bullet crashing into his
brain, dying instantly, Spencer Ten
mis-, employe at the Diamond c. ranch,
located at the foot of the Killdeer
mountains, drew the curtain on his life
early Monday morning. Only a few
minutes later the body was discovered
cold IN death. No motive is assigned
for the act.
Tennis had been employed at the
ranch, the property of w. l.. Richards
of this city, for about eleven months.
He was trusted employe and good
workman, of good habits and we'll
liked by all who knew him. He had
been in good spirits and had never
given any indication that he contem-
plated suicide. Saturday he appeared
discouraged and during the dav an
nounced to the foreman that he in
tended quitting the job. He was asked
by the ranch foreman to reconsider
his decision, but refused to do so.
Monday morning, the other ranch
employees left the bunkhouse, where
they, in company with young Tennis,
slept, and went to the house for break
fast, Tennis remaining in bed. When
breakfast had been eaten bv The
others, Lee Waddell, another employe
returned to the bunkhouse for his pipe,
in company with Annetta Ellefson, the
housekeeper, the latter intending to
call Tennis for breakfast.
Receiving no response to their calls,
they investigated, and the body was
found on the bunk. A 20 caliber rifle
had been used to end the life of the
young man, the bullet entering at the
right side Immediately back of the
temple, going completely through the
head and passing out through the left
temple, lodging in the wall. He had
shot himself while lying down and
death had been instant.
No inquest was held over the re.
mains, Coroner Smith of Dunn coun-
ty deciding chat there was no neces.
sity for inquisition proceedings, after
he had investigated the death. No
treason for the act has been advanced.
The lad had always appeared to be in
good spirits, though Of a quiet, retir-
ing disposition. Money matters, it
appears, had not forced the decision
to commit suicide, as Tennis had saved
a considerable sum and had several
weeks wages awaiting him at the
ranch.
Spencer Tennis was a native of
Birds Eye, Mimi, born % years ago.
Four sisters survive him, Mrs. H. An
derson, residing near Dickinson, Ilah
and Stella Tennis, living with A. G.
Elfstrom, at Killdeer, and Eva Tennis
Of Oakdale. Mr.. Elfstrom, who re-
moved from Dickinson to the Dunn
county town recently, is an uncle Of
the decedent.

NYE CHARGES LIBEL F.,
IN ARTICLE PRINTED
IN BELFIELD TINES

Gerald P. Nye, editor of the Fry
burg Pioneer, has entered charge Of
criminal libel against Dence & Dotter-
WEIGH, owners of the Belfield Times,
alleging that they libeled him in an
article published in their paper, issue
Of June Is. ...
Nye was arrested last week on a
warrant sworn out by Henry Larson,
assistant cashier Of the Fryburg bank.
He appeared before Justice Meisner
and the case was continued. Article
in the Belfield Times, in connection
with his arrest, stated that he had
written a suggestive letter to the
nursemaid who had been employed at
his home, asking her to make an ap-
pointment at an unconventional time
and place. The letter is alleged TO have
been signed with the name Of Mr.. Lar
son. When the letter was brought to
Mr.. Larson's attention, he denied writ
ing it, and is said to have recognized
Nye's handwriting, and the swearing
out Of the warrant followed.
Nye denies that the letter was writ
ten with improper intent, sand that it
was suggestive, as alleged in the
Times, and declares that the story in
the Times was highly colored in an
effort to damage his reputation. He
filed charges against the Belfeld men men
this week, and the matter will pr0bab-
ly be up for hearing within a few
days. II. "A. Mackoff Of Belfield rep
resents Times publishers. H.A. Burge-
son, states attorney, Of this city, will
probably appear for Nye.

NOT GUILTY; LEHMAN
JURY ORDERED FOR JULY 81 IN
MURDER TRIAL BY JUDGE
CRAWFORD.
sChumick Is Unable to Appear in Court
for Arraignment- Condition Is
Regarded as Serious.

Summoning of jury for July 81
was ordered by Judge W. c. Crawford
in district court Monday morning,
to serve in the trial Of Adolph Leh-
mann, arraigned on charge of first
degree murder for Staying of Matthias
Wetzstein at Richardton May goth.
Lehman appeared in court Monday
morning, and, after reading Of the
information, entered a plea of not
guilty. The defendant was represen-
ted by Attorney L. A. Simpson, and
States Attorney H. A. Burgeson ap-
peared for the state. :
Lehman appeared cool and collect
ed when brought into court, and made
his answer to the charge in a firm,
clear voice. Only a few spectators
occupied seats in the court room and
proceedings lasted only few min
utes.
Mike Chumick, booked for arraign-
ment Monday, did not appear in court
his condition being so serious that it
was not thought advisable to remove
him from the hospital. Condition of
the prisoner has grown steadily worse
and a constant watch is kept over him.
1t has been found necessary to strap
him to the bed to prevent an attempt
on his own life. There is possibility
that the Caldwell slayer may never
come to trial, as death may intervene.
IF he does survive, it is probable that
it will be found necessary to confine
him in an asylum for the insane.

clothing and badly burning his face
and body. Smith was employed at

accident occurred.
With his clothing afame,a human
torch, blazing from head to foot, he
leaped to the ground and rolled over

were finally extinguished, and he con-
tinued work for a short while after
the accident. Burns were more seri-
GUS than he at first thought, however,
and he consulted a physician the next

His face was badly burned on both
sides, and only the fact that he was
wearing glasses saved his eyes. His
right arm was painfully scorched and
