In order to bring to some conclus.
ion the various challenges for debate
issued by Sen. Sandstrom, the Cour-
ant has interviewed during the past
week the several parties concerned
and is in position to state with author
ity that all Of his challenges are &C.
cepted.
In the April Goth issue of the Bot
tineau County News Mr.. Sandstrom
issued a challenge to discuss House
Bill A at the Nonpartisan picnic to
be held in Bottineau some time in
June. "a
The challenge was accepted by T.
D. Acheson, he stipulating that Mr..
Sandstrom take up his own defense in
place Of securing, as he proposed,
some imported speaker for the occas-
ion. For. some reason or other, Mr..
Sandstrom has seen fit to ignore this
acceptance and, as he has had ample
time in which to consider it, the pre-
sumption is that he does not desire to
debate Mr.. Acheson.
In the April 9th issue Of the News
Mr.. Sandstrom offers to debate Rep
resentative Stair at "any point con-
venient for Ill concerned"

Junior High School Notes.

The Senior Girls Cooking class
served dainty luncheon to theil
mothers last Thursday evening. One
disadvantage of the affair was that
the mothers all decided to let the
girls do the cooking at home now that
they are so we'll able.
Volley ball enthusiasts keep the
gymnasium busy these nights.
A Junior High School tennis club
will soon be organized, which will
help in showing the H. S. what to look
for next year.
Base ball has taken the place of
"tin can" of late, in front of the
school and seems to be just as capable
of making noise as the former.
The Seniors are beginning to make
plans regarding their picnic, which is
to be held near the close Of school
on school day, too.
The General Science class is max
ing an interesting study of wild birds.
We hope to make an observation trip
soon.
It's time to plant thrift gardens.

WESTH0PE MAN:
DIES IN FIRE
Peat Head Meets Death in Fire Over
Lessman Hall Late Saturday
Night.

Peat Head, who has been in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Lessman of that city dur
ing the last three years, met his
death in a fire in his room late Satur-
day night.
The victim Of the accident was un-
der the influence of liquor when he re-
tired to his room, which is on the
same floor with the Lessman hall, late
in the evening. This, together with
the fact that he was an inveterate
cigarette smoker, perhaps explains the
origin of the fire.
Smoke was discovered issuing from
the windows of the room late at night
and an alarm was hastily turned in.
With rope around his waist, Percy
Albright entered the room, which was
so dense with smoke that nothing
could be distinguished. The lfeless
body of Head was found leaning
against couch in the room. After
some difficulty it was brought out, the
face being charred black from the fire
and smoke.
The fire had apparently originated
at the bed where Head was lying, in
dicating that it was started by the
man smoking.
Head was a man of about thirty
wears and had no relatives in this
part of the country. Undertaken
Weaver of this city, who will have
charge Of the funeral, managed to To-
cate an uncle and aunt in Illinios yes
terday by telegraph, but no arrange
ments for the funeral have been made.

"SLACKCRS" COME ACROSS
LINE INTO CANADA

A member of the Canadian Mount
ed Police was here from across the
line Sunday comforting with States
Attorney Weeks. According to the
representative of the dominion, many
"slackers" are coming across the line
for fear of conscription in the United
States.
The "slackers" do not appear to be
local people, but rather transients
who are up in this section of the state
looking for work on the farms.
It is not likely that any steps will
be taken by the local authorities, par
ticularly until some instructions ar
rive from the federal government.

The weather of the past week has
been ideal. On the prairie land the
wheat is all seeded and the other grain
is being put into the ground in q hur-
nv. The early sown grain is already
commencing to show green and the
winter rye, Of which there is a large
acreage in Bottineau county, is re-
markably fine, showing that it win
tered successfully. In the mountains
the spring work is not as far along,
but as the acreage in most cases is
smaller, the season will be finished up
in a hurry, once it is started.
