STOCK INSPECTOR
CAUSES ARREST OF
LOCAL BUTCHERS

Stock Inspector John Jefferies, rep
resenting the Stock Association of
several counties, made complaint to
the authorities against J. P. Ber-
ringer and Chas. Peeler, local meat
market proprietors, end caused their
arrest this week on a charge of fail
ing to keep a record for inspection Of
brands of cattle butchered by them.
Sheriff Hartung served the papers
in both cases on Wednesday and the
defendants each paid fine Of $40
and costs in Judge Folsom's court.
The law in such cases is very strict
and requires butchers to keep an ac-
curate record of the brands upon
cattle which are slaughtered for
market. The stock association main
tains that without such a complete
record they are handicapped in trac-
ing any cattle that might be stolen
and later disposed Of to butchers, who
would be innocent purchasers Of the
stock. This is the first arrest under
this law in this section of the state.

Big Profits Are
Realized From,
Raising of Hogs

Alex Monty, the big farmer just
out OF tryburg, was passenger the
first of the week returning from
South st. Paul, where he had market
ed carload of hogs. The price was
$3.50 per cwt., and if he had waited
two days longer he could have taken
$3.50, the price paid Beach ship
per who was on the market there.
However, Mr.. Monty was we'll salts
fled, as his carload of porkers, num-
bering a little over 100, netted him
some over $17Oo. A carload shipped
in the fall by this same Fryburg
farmer brought him over $500 net.
Mr.. Monty feeds his hogs barley,
and he believers that there is more
money in this kind of live stock than
in cattle. Anyway, the results are
quicker. At the present time he has
Is registered breeding hogs on his
farm, which means that he will be
on the market again in the fall if
all goes well.
1t used to be said, and it is still
true, that cattle are mortgage lift
ers" in North Dakota, but in the
southwestern portion of the state
hogs are coming to be recognized as
mortgage lifters" as we'll.

FIRE AT ZENITH
DESTROYS SEVERAL
STORE BUILDINGS

Zenith, small town on the North
ern Pacific fifteen miles west OF Dick
inson, was the scene of very de-
structive fire last Saturday afternoon,
when several buildings went up. in
smoke. The fire was discovered about
2 o'clock in the afternoon and as
the town has no fire protection the
flames soon got beyond control. The
fire originated in small frame build
ing adjoining Solomon Nicolas store
from some unknown cause and the
frame buildings nearby were quickly
ignited. Mr.. Nicola is perhaps the
heaviest loser, his entire stock Of
general merchandise being destroyed,
together with the fixtures and house
hold furniture. He estimates his loss
at about $4,000, covered by $5,700 in
surance.
The hotel building occupied by Con-
rad Bower was totally destroyed, but
all of the household furniture was
saved. The loss on the building will
amount to about $4,000.
A small dwelling belonging to l. II.
Roberts was completely destroyed, en-
failing a loss Of about $400.
The building in which the fire origi--
mated was small frame building and
had been used as a school room. The
loss sustained on this property will
amount to several hundred dollars.
The telephone booth and the post
office were located in the Nicola
store and all Of this property was de-
| stroyed.

Opportunity For
Comedy LOVERS To
See ''TlUin Beds''

An early booking at the Dickinson
opera house is Salisbury Field and
Margaret Mayo's uproariously funny
comedy "Twin Beds" coming under
the direction of A. S. Stern and Com
pany. Not in a decade has any play
scored such laughing triumph as
"Twin Beds" a story of domestic life
in a fashionable New York apart
ment house. It is a rare theatrical
treat. The fun of quick and clean,
the lines sparklingly witty, and the
highly original complications in which
the characters find themselves so
mirth-provoking as to be almost ir-
resistible, and, best Of all, it leaves
a pleasant taste in the mouth:
"Twin Beds" played for one solid
year in New York, delighted our Aus
tralian cousins for six months and is
now in it's second year in London,
turning hundreds away at every per-
formance. Everybody who saw this
show upon its former presentation in
Dickinson will want to see it again,

A resolution was adopted by the
Dickinson Lodge of Elks at theil
meeting Tuesday evening, endorsing
the stand taken by President Wilson

when patriotic duty calls. The reso'
luton follows:
At regular session of Dickinson
Lodge No. 1887 B. P. o. E., held al
their home March 6, 1917, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Be it resolved rnar, while we de-
plore the necessity which has arisen
to cause the severance Of the diplo-
matte relations with country whose
friendship we have had for more than
century and quarter, and which is
bound to us by the ties of many mil
lions of her people, we hereby ex-
press entire confidence in and ap-
prove the action of the President in
the great crisis confronting this ma
ton, and do hereby pledge to him
our loyalty and fealty.
Resolved further, that we will con-
stantly hope and pray that no un-
necessary act of ours will carry us
beyond the full realization of our
duty to our country and to those who
have cast their lot amongst US; and
that out of the present difficulties
will arise that freedom, that sense of
right and justice among the nations
and the peoples Of the earth that will
bring to full fruition the blessedness
of "Peace on Earth, Good Will to
Men,"

feet, the well having just been COM
pleted by Tom Melvin, Jack O'Neil,

MASS MEETING.
Expert HOrticulturist Will be Pres
ent and Deliver an Address at the
Court House March 18th.

The farmers of the vicinity Of Dick
inson will hold big mass meeting at
the court house in this city on Satur-
day, March 18th, to discuss plans for
building the potato warehouse which
was announced two weeks ago. The
meeting will be called to order at 10

gram has been completed.

of the North Dakota Agricultural
College and is considered to be an
expert on growing and marketing po-

An effort will be made at this
meeting to ascertain how many farm
ers in the community will plant po-
tatoes the coming season, how many
acres they will put in, and to determ-
inc upon the size of the warehouse to
be built. It. is planned to purchase
seed potatoes in large quantities Tor
distribution among the farmers.
The size of the warehouse to be
erected will depend largely on the
interest the farmers take In the
proposition. 1t can be announced. at
this time, however, that a building
of sufficient size to take care OF an
extra large crop of spuds will be
built along modern lines 50 that the
potatoes can be stored and kept
throughout the winter if necessary.
. The committee in charge desires a
large representation of farmers pres
ent at this melting in order that plans
can be made for the potato crop as
early in the season as possible, Inc
bic warehouse can be erected during
the summer months and the acreage
cared for in the fall ;,z,,-. ., S-..e.r v

DICKINSON BASKET
BALL TEAM Wins
DISTRICT TOURNEY

The Dickinson basket ball team
proved an easy victor for the cham
pionship Of southwestern North Da-
kota at Bismarck on Friday and Sat-
urday last, by defeating Bismarck
and Mandan. In the elimination
games Friday evening, Dickinson
downed Bismarck by a score of 80 to
|21, and Mandan proved victorious
over Washburn by the score of rs to
II: The following evening the win
ners of the Friday preliminary games
met and Dickinson again won, this
time by 20 to 21.
In the Friday game, McCutchan,
Richards and AL. Brodie were the
stars, each shooting five field baskets.
The Bismarck Tribune, in a report of
the game, states that the work Of
these boys was really remarkable.
In Saturdays game McCutchan was
accorded the individual honors for
winning the game and the champion
ship of southwestern North Dakota.
Early in the game Mandan was in
the lead, but toward the close of the
first half gradually lost their gain,
finally giving the lead to Dickinson.
Richards and Brodie opened their
scoring and jerked the lead from
their rivals, closing the first half with
the score ID to 10 in their favor.
Seventeen fouls were called on the
Dickinson players, which goes to show
that our boys evidently put up a
rough game. Only one foul was
called on Mandan.
Press Comments
The Bismarck Tribune had several
nice things to say about the Dickin-
son boys, some of which follow:
Laughingly joking with his oppon-
ents, dashingly getting away with the
ball and making long shots from
which the ball dropped obeyingly into
