Something of Mr.. TraftOR's Plans

Definite plans as to the future have
not been made by Mr. and Mrs. Traf-
ton, but some temporary matters have
been spoken of which are of general
interest.
Mr.. Trafton has. for two years past,
cut the hay onathe Daniel Allen place,
and both the 1916 and 1917 crops be
longing to him are still stored there.
This has led him to take his young
stock, 13 head which was in the pas
ture and escaped the fire, to the Allen
place, where they will be cared for
by Mr.. Allen for the winter.
The barn across the road from the
destroyed buildings, and another
structure on the same side, near
where the house formerly stood, of
fer storage for the present, Next
spring, it is possible that Mr.. Trafton
will move the small farm house from
the foot of Bigelow Hill to a point
near these two buildings just men
toned, 50 that he may commence
housekeeping near his farming opera
tons
Mr.. and Mrs. Traitor will pass the
present winter at their village home
the Sullivan place on Main street.
The 10 head of young stock tall
purebred Jerseys). mentioned above
constitute a very valuable herd. They
will freshen next spring and should
command prices in the market Of from
5000 to $500 each.

LADIES'; BAND J; ::
DOING WEL Il:

The ladies band which was. organ
lied about three weeks ago under the
leadership of Prof. Nerhaugen has
now held three rehearsals. When the
proposition was first talked of the
sponsors Of the idea were repeatedly
that it would be unsuccessful because
the young women of the city were not
enthusiastic enough. This has proved
to have been in error and a reverse
condition prevails. They now have in
the neighborhood of thirty members
with one new one coming in weekly.
The greatest drawback has been the
scarcity of instruments on the a
kets, a condition due to the fact that
the government bands are demanding
the entire output of the instrument
factories. However, slowly and sure
ly, the instruments are arriving and
ere long each member will be possess
ed of a new instrument of the best
makes obtainable.
Already the young ladies are mas
tering the first melodies in their books
and in a manner that would surprise
most anyone. This is made possible
by the fact that most all the members
are proficient on some other instru-
ments or read music, which leaves only
their instrument to master. AS fast
as it is possible the ladies will be
indicted into the city band in an en-
deavor to make that organization the
leading band in the state the coming
summer. This is a possibility as the
city band has a personnel Of twenty
five with at least twenty-five to be
added from the new band, making a
total of fifty. members with a reed Sec
ton of fifteen or eighteen.

TAKES A SHOT
]. At CAPITOL
MYSTERIOUS STRANGER FIRES
BULLET THRU HALLS OFFICE
WINDOW. ~
- , .. .aa.Si

Bismarck, N. D.. Oct. 2.-Some mys-
ferrous gunman drove up to the cap
itol building in 4 high powered car
shortly after dusk Saturday evening
end fired q 38-caliber rifle bullet thru
the window in the private Office Of Sec
Ietary Of State Thomas Hall. The
bullets course was such that had the
secretary of state been seated in his
sosustomed place at his desk. he'would
hayes. unquestionably have been hit.
AF. Hall was not in the bullets path,
however, and the missed h~arnlessly
expended its force on the brick par
tition wall. -
*Caretaker, Hanson was, so far as
a be learned. the only man in the
building at the time. He is said to
have seen the automobile speed up the
driveway and, as it reached the capt.
tol entrance, to have heard the bark Of
4sM1k. The car Immediately .disap-
peared In the gloom, speeding abck the
way it had come.
Had Received Warning.
Capitol officials had received warn
ing earlier in the day from st. Paul Of
the discovery Of an alleged bomb plot
there and Of the apparent connection
of Bismarck with the intrigue. Au-
thorities were On the watch for possi-
BILE depredations, and several guards
men were on duty on various floors Of
the building.
Why Secretary Of State Hall should
have been singled out cannot be ex-
planned, unless it be that upon several
occasions he has displayed an indie
pendence which has made him unpop-
ular in certain circles: There are
some who are inclined to dismiss the
whole matter as an accident.
