CANCER IS FATAL TO
SOUTH HEART WOMAN

Mrs. G. J. Perdaems, a sufferer
with cancer since early in January,
succumbed to the disease shortly
after noon on Thursday at her home
three miles southwest Of South Heart.
She was patient at the local hospital

giving up hope, and she was removed
to her home about two weeks ago.
1t is about seven years since she
came to this country from Holland,
her native land, with her husband,
who was placed in charge of a vast
amount of land owned by the Holland
Dakota Landbauw Co. She was a
Woman Of high principles and sweet
character and was held in great re-
gard by the entire neighborhood.
Boulger & Hughes went out on
Thursday evening to prepare the
body. Funeral services will be held
in the Catholic church at South Heart
at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning
conducted by Father John Dignam OF

RICHARDTON PARTIES
IN JUSTICE COURT

Louis Reiter, proprietor of store
at Richardton, has sworn out a war
rant for the arrest Of Joseph Killer,
John B. Fischer, Peter Schulz and
John and Joseph Schultz of the same
town, charging them with forcible en-
trance upon his premises. He has
also filed a complaint of assault and
battery against Mr.. Fischer.
The store building which Reiter
owned by Mr.. Killer, who sold out
his interests recently to the Schultz
brothers. Reiter alleges that when
the Schultz boys became his competi-
tors they decided to force him to
vacate the building which he was oc-
cupying, and which was leased from
them. This Reiter refused to do,
hence the alleged trouble when the
defendants in the action attempted to
eject him forcibly.
The case was set for hearing =. in
Justice Folsom's court in Dickinson
Thursday evening, but the defense
asked for change of venue. This
was granted and Justice Sterland
named to hear the case. But change
of venue was again asked for, this
time by the state, and as result the
case was referred to Justice Mack's
court, where it will be threshed out
on August 20th.

$500 acres of rough land, with quite
a little timber in the draws and q
large number Of springs of clear cold
water. The land is valued at from So
to $40 per acre and if it can be pur-
chased for this amount the commits
siono will have very little difficulty in
getting the park established and the
necessary appropriation to purchase
the land, fence the enclosure with a
six-foot woven-wire fence, and furn-
ish quarters for caretakers The
amount asked for the first appropria-
tion will not exceed 100000.
In order to secure this park it will
be necessary for the land owners and
the people in general to cooperate
with the commission and show that
the sentiment of the people of the
West Slope country favors the estab-
lishment Of the park at this most his
toric battle ground Of the state.
In addititono to the land included
in this tract, the commission plans
later to make application to purchase
all the school sections north between
the mountains and the Little Missouri
river for park purposes, thus giving
access to the river from the national
park.
The commission has already learned
that a herd Of nine elk will be furn-
ished free Of charge, except freight
charges, from the Yellowstone
National Park, and with the herd OF
antelope now ranging in that vicin-

Last Saturday was the date set for
the arraignment of Mike Chumick, al
legged slayer of Mr.. and Mrs. James
H. Caldwell, and Adolph Lehman,
accused of the murder of Matthias
Wetzstein, both of whom have been
confined in the Stark county Jail since
last June. Counsel for the defend
ants, Attorney L. A. Simpson, asked
for and was granted a short time in
which to confer with the other attor-
neys interested in the cases and to
prepare the motions, the nature of
which was not stated in open court.
States Attorney H. A. Burgeson ap-
peared for the state and agreed to a
postponement until next Monday,
August 13, the latest date that notice
can be given to call a jury for the
Sentember term Of court in event that
either one or the both of the murder
cases are to be tried in Stark county.
+ When the sheriff's force appeared
on the scene to escort Chumick to the
court room, he showed very strong
determination to remain in the JAIL
and with his night shirt tightly clasp
ed in. one hand and Deputy Sheriff
Nolan's gold watch in the other the
big fellow refused to bulge from the
corridor of the Jail and after the or
der came that he was not needed in
the court room he was taken to his
cell. Since that time he has given
the sheriff's department considerable
trouble and at the present time he is
not allowed to leave his cell. Accord
ing to officials his condition grows
worse from day to day and it is feared
that his mind is becoming unbalanced
He has become quite unruly at times
and is very sullen. He made an at
tack on some other prisoners and the
officials Tuesday morning and it took
several strong men to handle him
Since that time he has been kept in
close confinement.

HOME TROUBLES THE
CAUSE OF SUICIDE
OF new ENGLANDER

Anton Ulijohn committed suicide by
hanging himself to IN exhaust pipe
in the engine roonf of the school
building at New England on Sunday
of last week. For several months
past deceased had been employed as
janitor at the school building and
when he left home on Sunday morn
ing to attend to some work at the
building the family did not think it
unusual until he failed to return home
at the dinner hour. A little son was
sent to look for his father and found
all the doors to the building locked,
but looking through the window he
saw the body of his father hanging
from a pipe in the engine room. He
ran home and told of his discovery
and hurried entrance was made
through the doors. The body had
evidently been hanging for several
hours.
Coroner F. T. Rucker of Mott was
Immediately notified and conducted IN
investigation and decided that it was
a case of suicide. The knots in the
rope were carefully and skilfully tied
and footprints showed that the man
had walked along the ledge of the
boiler where he stood while fastening
the rope to the exhaust pipe before
taking the fatal plunge into the next
world.
The funeral service was held the
following day, conducted by Rev. VIM
Gevers, pastor of the German-Luther.

Z, Besides his wife, the deceased i.
survived by two sons, Frank, wht
lives at home, and Anton H. Ulijohn
Jr., a worthy young man who recently
enlisted in Co. K and is at present

most emphatically that his instruc-
tions must be carried out to the let
ter. The sheriffs in all counties OF
the state are notified that they must
take immediate steps to prevent the
further sale Of the beverages which

Sheriff Hartung has personally no
titled each and every dealer i'll the city
according to his instructions and will
personally notify all dealers in thu
county that the sale of the aboV,
beverages must cease Immediately OF

this city for some time and hav
heretofore been considered as no

dealers interviewed by the Press ar
of the opinion that they will immedi
ately follow the attorney general
order as given through the sheriff, a
least until the manufacturers make
