FLAW 4 IS IS FOUND NJ
!. N GAME LAM

Fargo, N. D., Apr. 3.-A daw has
been discovered In the btll passed
at the last session of the state leGis-
lature, prohibiting. among Other
things. the hunting OF prairie chick
ems in North Dakota with bird dog.
The discovery was made by Att0r-
ney A. C.. Lacy of Fargo, well-kn0wn
nfmrod Of the state, who wrote to
Bismarck requesting copy of the
to to- tils Poop psopfy ~ =, d essssssa = sss
referendum election. An examina-
tion Of the bill, according to Mr..
Lacy, convinced him that this will
not be necessary.
House Bill No. 107 does not pro-
vide penalty in that section of the
law which prohibits the hunting of
prairie chickens with q bird dog.
Every other section of the bill has q
penalty attached for violations.
Under the provisions of the law
as 1t now stands" said Attorney
Lacy. "if one were arrested for hunt
ing with a bird dog during the sea-
son. he could not be lodged in jail
and compelled to pay q flne."
When the bill was passed by the
state legislature, many of the nim-
rods Of the state planned to get q
Minnesota hunting license in view Of
the fact that they would be barred
from hunting in their own state
with bird dogs. Others planned to
sell their dogs. '-.2t

MRS. AUOET1 DIES
At KANSAS CITY

A telegram was received here
last Monday evening announcing
the death of Mrs. Christ Audett at
Kansas City, Mo-, which took place
that morning. The deceased, who
Is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
tin German OF near this city, was
holding a responsible position as
stenographer, and book keeper in
one Of the large establishments at
Kansas city when she contracted a
case OF pneumonia a short time be-
fore her death. Her parents left
for her bedside last week. She is
survived by her husband ana one
child. The remains are being
shipped to Bowbells for burial, and
were expected to arrive yesterday.
A full obituary as we'll as the de-
tails of the funeral will be given in
the next issue Of The Tribune.
8. O. Johnson of Dale township
honored The Tribune with a call
last Saturday afternoon. He had
come here for the purpose of at
tending the farmers meeting, and
also get some supplies for springs
work. He told us that as far as
he knew there was only one petit
ton being circulated in his neigh
borhood for the referendum of laws
passed by the recent legislature.
and that he has been told that this
petition had one signer on 1t. Mr.
johnson does not pretend to know
much about political business, but
tells US that he believes that the
man who is circulating the petition
has done fairly WELL as practically
every person residing In Dale town
ship is a member of the Nonparti-
san League, and Mr.. Johnson did
not think that any signers could be
secured.

Hon. Staale Hendrickson, the Co.

county food administrator. was in
the city Wednesday morning look
ing after business matters. Staale
is a very able man when it comes to
political matters, and always takes
q great interest in the government
of the state. He Is never satisfied
unless he Is mixed in some kind of
scrap or other, and just now is
devoting his energies toward put
inc the head men of the Nonparti-
san League out of business. There

prove of, and he assures US that all

8. Staale never goes into things
by halves Whenever he undertakes
anything he puts his heart and soul
into it, and stays by the proposition
until either he Is l,cKed himself or
the other fellow is. and he has been
hot after the head men of the Non
partisan league almost ever since
this organization started.

ESCAPE. DEATH IN
THE MISSOURI

Bismarck, N. D., April g.
Frank Jaszkiwaik lost d valuable
team of horses, and he with two OF
his men and Roy Pennell and the
latter's son narrowly escaped with
their lives when a puggy in which
they were crossing the Missouri
broke through slush ice on the
Mandan side at noon yesterday
8 There was q great deal OF dri1t
Ice and water on the Mandan side.
but the main. ice-bed underneath
seemed to be flrm, and JaszkoWlak
was, driving carefully when the
horses. began to founder. Their
struggles quickly churned the rot
ten ice into mush, and they began
tn be dragged down by the curCent
underneath, The mon leaped from
the buggy, and had merely time to
rescue Its contents when the horses
and the entire equipage were SUCK
ed under the, Ice. n
There was no possibility OF saving
the horses. Fortunately the men
had time to make their way back
to flrmer ice before q large block
where the buggy had stood a mo-
ment before gave way. and was re-
placed by black expanse OF seeth-
ing water. Mr.. Jaszkowlak and his
companions made their way back
to the east bank without further
mishap and returned to Bismarck.
The ice on the Missouri is now
unsafe for crossing at any point.
The river Is rising and the ice Is
being undermined and Is giving way
in many points. Travellers have
been warned not to attempt the
crossing.

POOR WORM
TURNS ATLAST

Here Is one country editor who
refuses to publish a laudatory obitu-
ary OF man whom he says took his
paper for years, worked the old gag
of saying he never subscribed for it
and declined to pay.
The scribe with the courage Of
his convictions is Roe Chase, the
able publisher of the Anoka (Minn.
Herald. Following is the obituary
as he published it:
Possibly no one In Anoka will re-
call William ]. Whittery. Maybe
some will recall that he lived in
Anoka county sixteen years ago.
We we'll remember the first time
that we met him. We had just un-
dertaken the task of editing this pa
per. The old fellow came into tho
sanctum and subscribed for the pa
per-said he wanted to encourage
us. We put his name on the list
and waited patiently for the dollar
which he agreed to send in 1.-The
next day"
That fall he moved to Minneapo-
lis. We sent the paper there and
it followed him later to Iowa and
then to North Dakota.
Occasionally we sent him a. bill.
He paid no attention to it. Fin
ally, after sending him the repre-
hensible sheet for seven years, we
quit.
We wrote him and asked that he
pay up. Some weeks later there
that he had never subscribed for It,
didn't want 1t and wouldn't pay a
cent for 1t.
The bill was too small to- bother
about sueing the old crook 50 we
charged it up to profit and loss.
He had swindled US for seven
years.
Now comes a letter from some OF
his sorrowing relatives asking that
we give space to his obituary and
tell of his good points. a
y So the old chap Is dead!
And the paper which he swindled
during his life time Is asked to say
the last nice things about him.
Funny situation, isn't it?
What can we say? p
He wasn't murderer, for he did
not succeed In starving US to death
He wasn't guilty of grand lar.
ceny, for the sum which he beat us
out Of was too dinkey to come under
that head.
But the worthy William J. was q
dead beat and q crook and this Il
all that he will ever get in the way
of an obituary from us. !.

points he successfully concealed
them from us. s. "A \ & B H. 2S !.

E. O. Nehring, the popular pro-
prietor of the Motor Inn, tells The
Tribune that large number Of the
Automobiles owners who loft their
storage batteries with him last fall
for safe keeping, are calling for
them now, and that where he had
about sixty batteries a few months
ago in his joint, he has only about
dozen now. The batteries which
needed repairing or overhaultng
were fixed up, and in all cases they
were delivered to the customer in
practically new condition. Mr..
Nehring tells US that he was given
more batteries for safe keeping this
year than he was ever given before.
He is as we'll equipped for handling
this line Of work as anyone In tho
state, and has little difficulty in re-
pairing the most difficult jobs.
Rudolph Mahoney, formerly Of
this city. but who is now located at
Bisbee. N. D., writes US that he has
just opened a garage Of his own Ut
Bisbee, and that his specially will
be repairing and overhauling auto
mobiles and gas tractors. dutch"
knows more about gasolene driven
machines of various kinds than any
person who ever pretended to work
at this line of work In Bowbells,
and there Is no person that we
know of that can locate trouble ina
car or gas tractor and repair same
in less time than he can. The peo-
pie of Bisbee and vicinity are In
deed fortunate in having Mr.. Ma
honey establish a repair shop there.
and they need not hesitate In Civ
ing him their work. Mr.. Mah0ney
has the best wishes Of his many
friends in this vicinity.

FARM BUREAU IS
ORGANIZED HERE

At the big farmers meeting held
at the Royal Theatre last Saturday
afternoon a county farm bureau
was organized with Andrew Neson
of Flaxton as president and J. E.,
Pfeifer of Woburn as secretary.
County Agent Edwards has been alb
sent from the city since the meet
ing was held and The Tribune has
been unable to get any of the details
Of the meeting or the names Of the
other officers or directors. In case
the agent returns before our, next
issue, the meeting will be written up
then. The number of farmers in at
tendance at the meeting was quite
large, and several good speakers ad-
dressed the people present. We are
told that the organization starts out
with between 200 and 900 members,
and all are of the belief that the
membership can be doubled before
another few months pass. All are
very enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
tion, and there is no reason why the
benefits to be derived will not be
greater than in most counties where
less enthusiasm is shown.
city council held during the fore
part of March permission was grant
ed to J.-H. Mohr, proprietor of the
Bowbells light plant, to raise the
rates. for current used two cents per
killowat, and the new rates were
collected by Mr.. Mohr last Tuesday
when he made his regular monthly
collections. After giving the plant
thorough tryout for two months,
using both steam and gas engines,
and keeping very close tab on the
cost of production per killowat, Mr..
Mohr found that the plant was a
losing proposition. 1t was then up
to him to either get more money
for the current sold, or else to cut
the expense of running. There was
no way in which the running ex-
penses could be cut, SO he applied
to the city council for raise OF two
cents per killowat, and this was
granted. He assures us that the
rates will be lowered again just as
soon as conditions warrant him do
ing so.
The daylight saving law went into
effect at IL O'Clock last Saturday
night, and is causing the people OF
the city considerable Inconvenience.
We learn that Bowbells is about the
only city in the county that is using
the new time, and for that reason
farmers coming here are required
to set their watches an hour ahead
before starting for town. The
-fatme1s, are all using the old time.
wear ago when the law went into
effect q person could not hear any
kick whatever on 1t. It was q war
measure, and the people of Bowbells
and vicinity were willing to do any
thing during the war no matter how
much. inconvenience 1t caused. Now
that the war is over, there is plenty
of kick on the new time, and we be-
lieve that it will be matter of only
few days before everyone here
will go back to the old time.

SMUT

= .
1t does not take much smut to
cause q 10 per cent loss, and 1t Of
ten runs much higher. The for
maldehyde treatment will cut out
the loss from smut. The treatment
consists in thoroughly wetting the
seed grain with a solution made up
of l pint full strength formaldehyde
to 40 gallons of water. Wheat at
two dollars a bushel Is too expensive
to let smut have part Of the crop,
nor can one afford to run any chan
ces ON oats or barley. &,
