\. \ ]. D. BONE DRY
law IS VOID

Bismarck, N. D.. Atg. 7.-Da-
kota's bone dry law, PASSED by the
fifteenth assembly was declared not
legally passed by thar session OF the
Legislature by the state supreme
court yesterday in an opinion hand
ed down In the case of the state
against John Schultz.
Schultz was convicted in the low
er court of bringing liquor into the
state in violation of the bone dry
law: He appealed. on grounds that
the act was not legally passed and
the supreme court upheld that con-
tentiOn. The verdict OF the lower
court was reversed.
The state bone dry act was sup
posedly passed in the: session Of
1917. As a matter of fact, the
amendment providing for the "bone
dry" feature was written into the
hill after it passed the legislature,
that feature of the law not being
considered by the legislature I'm
+ til federal prohibition arrived, this
state bone dry law, which the
court now holds illegally passed,
was enforced, although it was not
in fact the law.

IN SHOOTING FRAY

Beach, N. d., Aug. TN. X.
Bowen, rancher living in the
southern part Of the county, was
shot three times and killed. last
night by Constable E. W. Taylor
while resisting service of replevin
papers. S- =,
The killing is the outcome of bad
blood that has existed in that neigh
borhood for some years, Bowen hav-
ing had trouble with numerous
neighbors.
The killing is sensational in that
Bowen's wife is said to. have taken
part in the shooting and only sur
rendered when her repeating rifle
was empty.
According to the story told this
morning in jail by Constable Taylor
and verified by Constable J. Stark
and D. R. Offley, who were in the
party that went to replevin Offley's
cattle taken up by Bowen, the lat
ter agreed to give the cattle to the
Officers, when Offley said the ami
mails did not look as ynough they
had, been fed. 49, -.
This angered Bowen, who said

Taylor ordered him to stop. but
Bowen rushed into the stable, COM
ing out in the act OF pumping load
into his rifle. Taylor shot twice
without stopping Bowen. who was
In the act of aiming at Taylor, when
a third shot killed him instantly.
just at this time Mrs. Bowen OPEN
ed fire from the house with a Win
chester, scattering the officers. She
fired eight shots, and was only stop
ped when Stark got a drop on her
with his rifle. A third loaded gun
was found in Bowen's stable. &C.,
Taylor surrendered himself to the
sheriff, and he, Stark, and Offley are
in jail awaiting the result OF the
cofoner's inquest. Mrs. Bowen

away alive, and Bowen is said to
have intimated the same to the
sheriff day or two ago.

WAS HELD BY HUNS
FOR THREE YEARS

Washington, D. c., Aug. ITO
return to their homeland after
three years of near imprisonment
in Germany only to find themselves
penniless was the unfortunate plight
which greeted Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Krauth, and their son John, of Heb
ron, N. Dak., when they arrived in
New York Monday.
Early in 1915, Mr.. and Mrs.
Krauth decided to go to Germany
to be with their children, son and
daughter, who had gone to that
country to complete their education
year or SO earlier. Little diff
Guilty was experienced in receiving
passports at that time and the
Krauths arrived at their destination
in due time. There they met the
children and were in Berlin when
the United States entered the war.
Immediately an effort was made
through the American embassy in
Switzerland for passage into that
country and thence through Italy
to the United States. This however
was found to be out of the question,
and Mr.. Krauth then communicat-
ed with the state department In
this country through the Swiss Of
flee and received permission to re-
main in Germany for the duration
of the war. Life in wartime Ger
manv was naturally precarious, es~
peciallys for Americans, although
therKrauths experienced but little
|sdiscomfo fort on this account. Com.
municatiOn with America, however
became impossible and until the
signing of the armistice in Novem-
ber practically no word of any sort
was received from the United States.
Thus, although they had prepared
for short sojourn of but a few
months, the Krauth family were
forced to remain for three years.
Money could not be received from
home and while credit could be
obtained through friends. money
was very scarce for anyone. Ex-
penses were high and food Of any
sort hard to get. Meat could be
had but once a week and then it
was usually horse meat. Then
when they arrived in Hoboken on
Monday letters from Hebron friends
informed them that their entire pro-
perty had been seized by the alien
enemy custodian in accordance with
orders to the effect that all property
of Americans in Germany should be
confiscated. Instead of continuing
on to Dakota the Krauths then
decided to go to Washington where
they put the matter before Senator
McCumber. The senator immed-
lately took up the matter with the
proper. authorities, and the ileces-
sary steps will be taken at once to
return the confiscated property to
it's rightful owners.

COUNTY FAIR IS
A BIG SUCCESS

The county fair held at Flaxton
on Wednesday, Thursday and FRI
day of last week was a grand suc-'
cess when person takes every
thing into consideration. Owing to
the fact that large number of
farmers had started harvesting last
week they did not find time to at
tend the fair more than one day,
and the attendance would have been
much larger If it were not for the
early harvest. For the same rea-
son the number of exhibits was re-
duced. considerable. Many people
had their exhibits all ready pre-
pared and had made arrangements
to see the fair during the entire
three days when they were, pre-
vented from coming bv the wheat
ripening. A bio display of exhib-
it's. however, was shown in all de-
partments, and in all cases these
were as good as could be found
anywhere in the state. All de-
nartments were exceedingly inter-
esting, and found many admirers.
The special attractions were also
good. The Coteau band furnished
music during the last two days of
the fair there was good merry
go-round, and many stands and
small tent shows. The balloon as
cension on the second day of the fair
and the long drop by parachute
was something worth going miles
to see. Many who saw the balloon
do its stunt the first time took
trip to Flaxton the following day
to see 1t again, but on account of
a high wind it was unable to 60 up.
The directors of the fair as we'll
as others interested IN It's success
are we'll satisfied with the way
things went, and assure the people
of Burke county that many i'm
provements will be made In the
grounds and buildings for next
year, and that any mistakes that
might have been made in the past
will be corrected in fairs held in
the future.

SPECIAL. !. ASSESSMENT IS |
COMMITTEE At WORK

The city special assessment COM
mittee started work on Tuesday Of
this week and will continue It's work
until everything pertaining to the
levying of the tax for paying for
the grading and graveling of the
city streets is completed. This
committee CONSISTS of F. F. Carter,
chairman, and Jerry Donovan and
G. Wilkes. The work of assessing
the amounts of benefits derived by
each piece of real estate in the city
from the work done on the streets
is no small job, and to look at It
and try to understand all the work
connected with it would stagger the
average person. The committee
went over every street in the city
on which work was done on Tues
day and Wednesday, Of this week,
and are now making their assess
ment. against each lot. It Is esti-
mated that this work will take
about two weeks, after which the
! list will be published for two weeks
in the city official newspaper and q
date will be set on which the COM
mission will meet when all persons
who feel that they have been ag-
grieyed by the assessment against
their property might appear ana
make their complaints. After this
the levy made for the taxes to be
collected on this account will be
filed with the county auditor. As
mo- tax was collected on this account
last year, a tax will be collected
this year to make the payments OF
both last and this year. In other
words q tax double the regular
amount will be collected this year.
