OBITUARY

Mrs. Pat Walsh Of Northgate who
died at st. Paul on Wednesday
OF last week, mention of which was
made In the last issue OF The Trip
une, was buried from the St. JO-
sepn's church in this city on Mon
day forenoon OF this week, the re-
mains having arrived here Saturday
accompanied by one OF deceased's +
relatives. Rev. Osto Weiser con-
Quoted the services, and intermenl
took. place. at the Catholic cemetery
east of town. Mrs. Walsh was
oorn in Austria, and came to Unit
ed States with relatives in 1902,
and two years later was married at
Mlnot to Pat Walsh. For some
years after the family resided al
different points in this section OF
the state where the husband of the
deceased worked on the Great
Northern railroad. Several years
ago the family located at Bowbells.
and after residing mere two years
moved to Norrhgate where MI.
Walsh engaged in the dray business.
Since her marriage the deceased
gave birth to seven children, five OF
whom survive her, namely John,
age 13; Mike IL years old; Vera,
~ years old; Mary, years old,
and Thresa, years old. In addi-
tion to her children the deceased
is survived by her husband and a
brother and sister in Canada. Dur
ing her lifetime Mrs. Walsh was OF
d cheerful and loving disposition,
and her family was always ner first
consideration. During the past
few years when she was in poor
health she never complained, and
never wanted to be any more Of. a
bGi1ehs to those around her than
possible. She lived a good life,
and was not afraid when the time
came to meet her creator. Her
LOSS to the family will be great
one, and only those who have suf-
tered similar losses can realize what
ner husband and little children have
lost In her DEATH The funeral was
attended, by quite a large number OF
people from both this vicinity and
Northgate. Several relatives from
outside Burke county were also
present.

IS now SOLE OWNER
OF POPULAR STORE

N. L. SimOnsOn, who during the
past four years has acted as mana
ger of the Bowbells Cash Store OF
which the firm of Simonson G. Charl-
son were proprietors, last week pull
chased the interest of his partner.
and is now sole owner. There will
be no visible change In the business
here, ;as Mr.. .Simonson will continue
conducting the store under the same
name, Bowbells Cash Store, and
cater to his patrons as much as pos.
sible about the same as he has done
in the past. Since coming hero
four years ago and starting in a
small way Mr.. Simonson has built
up general mercantile business
that is second to none in Burke
county. For many years before
coming here he was In the same line
of business at Minot where compel
ition was keen and a person was
compelled to fight for every bit o!
patronage he received. He now
knows what goods are in demand
what class of service the people de-
sire, and spends much time and
study in learning how he can bes,
satisfy the people of this communi-
ty His patrons have found him tc
be absolutely honest in every way,
and have learned to trust him. II
he tells a customer that a piece OF
goods is all wool, that customer can
bet his last dollar that there isn't a
thread of cotton or linen in 1t. II
he assures you that eggs in certain
basket are all fit for human food
you can eat them with perfect safe
sy without first smelling Of them
Those who know Mr.. Simonson best
have confidence in him and his
goods, as they know lthat they car
lepend on everything that comes
from his store. There is absolute
" no chance Of person being
soaked" by Mr.. Simonson, and {
small child can be sent to the store
With the assurance that 1t will re-
ceive the same consideration as an.
adult. Not only does Mr.. Simon.
son live up to the Golden Rule him
;e]f in every way, but he also in
1tructs his clerks to do likewise
9owbells is indeed fortunate in hav:
'ng man like Mr.. SimOnson In
business here. and We are glad tc
tote that he is now sole owner OF
he store, and expects to stay hero
permanently.

Count Will Furnish Seed
and Feed To Needy Farmers

cant. when he will be given an or
der for the grain he desires. Every
farmer wanting the county to sup
ply him with seed or feed should
fill out one of these cards as soon
as possible. They will cost moth
ing, and are obtainable free at every
bank in the county. The farmers
residing in the vicinity of Bowbells
should go direct to the office Of
County Auditor Melby for their
cards, but those residing near other
cities may obtain them at their
nearest bank
Those desiring to obtain help
from the county must sign their ap-
plications before March 20, as un-
der the law no application can be
considered after that date. The
cards must be in as soon as pos
sible, and the applications before
March 20. Petitions were also
mailed out to all the banks in the
county, and these may be signed
there. Fifty names are required
and it is believed that these can
be secured without any difficulty.

At a meeting Of the board OF
county commissioners held on Tues
day of this week 1t was unanimous
ly decided that it would be to the
best interests of the county If bonds
were issued to supply needy farm
ers with feed and seed with which
to put in the crop next spring. 1t
was found that as time went on
there was a greater demand for this
relief. The bonds will be sold to
the state. The county board the
following day mailed out several
hundred cards to each bank In the
county with request that they be
handed out to the needy farmers.
On this card is a request from the
county for seed or feed or both, and
the farmer wanting to be helped out
should Obtain one of these cards,
fill it out and mail it to the county
auditor at Bowbells. This card is
not an application. but gives the
county board the information it de-
sires as to how much grain will
have to be furnished. Later an
application sworn to before a notary
public must be signed by the appli-

the snow, to have his mother dress
and care for his bruises.
The affair is universally deplored
here, for, while the good intentions
Of the teacher in selling war stamps
is upheld, yet his rough and uncall-
ed for treatment of the boy has
aroused common Indignation, as
the boy is a peaceful and we'll be-
haved boy. whose father is a good,
patriotic, loyal American citizen.
A complaint has been lodged with
States Attorney DePuy against the
teacher for assault and battery, and
as this is the second instance in
which this teacher has exceeded the
proper limit in handing out corporal
punishment to his pupils, the school
board has been appealed to for his
disissal.

Gubrielson was found wandering

EARLY BO71|NEAU
SHERIFF IS DEAD

Minot, N. D., Feb. Tom Gar
dner, one Of the early sheriffs of
Bottineau county died recently at
his home in Dayton, o., where he
had resided for years. Mr.. Gard
ner was sheriff of Bottineau county
sixteen years ago, at the time that
Willie Ross, Minot lad, was hang
ed for the murder of Thomas Walsh,
Willow City farmer. Ross had shot
Walsh as he lay on his bed in a
humble abode, the rays of the moon
furnishing the only light. The first
bullet merely tore the skin across
the mans stomach and as he jump
ed from his bed. the degenerate
shot him dead.
Ross Was arrested with Walsh's
team near Towner and taken to
Bottineau, where he confessed to
Father Turcotte. He embraced the
Catholic faith, and told the Father
also Of another crime in which 1eee
was implicated, that Of assisting
Carl Hanson, also Minot youth, to
kill Napoleon LIE May in a lonely,
deserted ranch barn south of Tagus,
a year previous. Judge Murray OF
Minot was notified. and according
to the description of the place given
by Ross, he located the old we'll
where LIE Mays body had been
thrown and the body was brought
to Minot. Hanson was arrested
and tried before Judge Coran in
Minot. He denied he fired the shot,
but said he was present when Ross
killed LIE May. Ross maintained
his story to the last, and when
Judge Murray adjusted the black
cap over Ross face as he stood on
the scaffold at Bottineau, second
or two before taking his plunge into
eternity, the Judge asked: willie,
who killed LIE May?" and as Sheriff
Gardner prepared to spring the
trap, Ross last words were, "Carl
Hanson"

MANY TEACHERS At
TEND FLAXTON MEETING

Between sixty and seventy teach
ers were in attendance at the meet
ing of the Burke County Teachers
Association last Friday. For a
mid-winter meeting. this was q sur
prise. Several interesting talks
were given and papers were read on
important phases of school work.
All the musical numbers were we'll
rendered and highly pleasing.
In the evening D. w. Galehouse
Of Fargo, state leader of the Boys
and Girls Club Work, addressed
the association. The subject which
he presented was we'll worthy Of
the attention of all the teachers
and it is probable that several
schools In Burke county will in
augurate one OF. the many kinds Of
club work during the coming spring
term.

Farmer Can Gel All the
Seed Wheat He Needs

The old law requiring a petition
irom 100 freeholders OF the county
to enable the county commissioners
of the county to bond the county
for seed grain and feed was cnang-
ed so that the board Of county COM
missioners shall proceed to issue the
bonds on the petition of fifty free
holders, no matter whether they are
actual farmers or not. Men who
are freeholders and who know the
conditions and the needs Of the
county may sign petitions to have
the bonds issued.
The county commissioners are
charged with the responsibility OF
seeing that the seed procured 10 rs
ed for the purposes for which It 10
intended. Applicants for grain
must satisfy the commissioners Of
heir sincerity and they must at the
same time show that the amount Of
seed desired can be planted By
them. This will prevent any, fraud
and at the same time place will en-
able every farmer to plant every
available acre he possibly can.
The legislature had in mind the
needs of the nation In winning tho
war with food. 1t sought to pro-
vide every farmer with every pos-
sible advantage and to give him, al
the help possible, realizing that his.
services are a national necessity
and patriotic duty.
Under the provisions Of the new
seed bond law it is almost certain
the largest wheat acreage win be
planted this year. There will be
large quantities Of rye ana barley
and oats which may be used for
substitutes for wheat at home.
The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1918-02-08

The new seed bonding law enact.
ed at the special session of the state
legislature, and which became effec'
i've upon being signed by the gov
,rnor, enlarges the amount of seed
grain a farmer may secure fol
PLANTING and makes available

It in physical condition to plan
the crops so soon as weather condi.
ions permit. This legislation will
save the farm stock Of many sec
Ions from starvation and will give
the farmers all the seed grain they
may require for planting. The old
law which was amended by the spe'
eial session, provided that a farmer
could not procure more than 16t
bushels Of seed wheat or its equiv
alent in other grains. Now he car
procure all he needs to plant hit
acreage, provided he has the secur'
ty which is required. This secur
ity is the same as under the ole
'aw.- The money advanced becomes
a lien upon the crop and upon sub
sequent crops in case of failure o.
the one grown from the provided
seed and upon the land owned b,
the farmers.
The. most important feature Of
the legislation, probably is the pro
vision under which farmers cal
procure feed for their stock at this
time. Under the old law they
could not procure feed until. April
15, and by that time the horses Of
many farmers would have beer
starved to death and not one ami
NAL in thousand would have beer
in condition to do an hours worl
in crop. planting.

TEACHER hit ANO
BRUISED SCHOLAR

Lankin, N. D., Feb. IA little
episode took place in a school house
four miles west Of this city which
has caused a good deal of indigna-
tion. The teacher. Chas. Cayley,
whose home Is at Mimic, this coun.
ty, had been making an active cam
paign among his pupils to sell war
and thrift stamps, which, of course.
met with the hearty approval Of the
school board.
He had already sold quite a few,
but one of the boys, James swartz,
Jr., 13eyears old. son OF Joseph
swartz, refused to buy. When
urged by the teacher to state, why
he would not buy, he foolishly an
swered: 'They are no good" The
teacher became very wrathy over
the answer. and forgetting that he
was dealing with a mere child, i'm
mediately approached the desk
where he was seated. and with his
hsnds raised and saying. "Will you
take that back?" but without wait
ing fora reply, assaulted the boy,
knocked him out Of his seat and
onto the door. placed his knee on
the boys chest. choking him, and
beat him, blackening his eyes and
splitting his lip. The boy requested
leave to 80 home, which was refus-
ed, but ct recess the boy walked
home, one and one-half miles. thru
