TAKES CHARGE OF:
BLENkNER STORE

VIM. Pitts and wife and 12-year-
old daughter arrived here last week
from Lansford, and last Monday
morning Mr.. Pitts took over the
Blenkner store. The original deal
between Mr. Pitts and the Blenk-
ners included only the grocery stock,
but since coming here Mr.. Pitts also
purchased the dry goods, shoes, and
all other goods in the store. The
Blenkners will remain here for
about, two weeks in order that they
might look after their collections
and other unfinished business, and
will leave the latter part of the
month. for their ranch near Olive,
Mont, where they intend to make
their home permanently in the fu-
ture. '- '@t
Mr.. Pitts has been in the gen.
eral mercantile business practically
all of his life, so the work, here
will not be new to him. Mrs. Pitts
has also put in much of her time in
this line of work, and will . assist
her husband in the store. The
stock of goods in the store had been
reduced to almost nothing Just be-
lure MI. 4tL6 COOh SAoA 80 ~ 'NAtS
and many large orders for new
goods are being sent to the dis
tributing centers every day, and
new goods should be arriving next
week to replenish the stock. Mr..
Pitts intends to carry a :, complete
line of everything ordinarily car
ried in an up-to-date general store,
and will add to his stock just as
fast as the goods can be procured.
His entire stock will be composed
Of entirely new goods, and local
people can depend on everything in
his store being new as, the new
goods arrive. - :,
Mr.. Pitts is a very pleasant gem
tleman to meet. and from the way
he is going after things We have
every reason to believe that he is a
hustler and a live one. Bowbella
is. indeed fortunate on his decision
to locate here, and we predict for
him good business. He has leas-
ed the Blenkner residence in west
Bowbells for term Of months and
will reside there as soon rs the
Blenkners move to Montana.

two GRAIN E[EVAT:
0Rs ARE. BURNED /

Hillsboro, N. D., May 1.-Fire.
which city officials say was of in
cendiary origin, destroyed the St.
Anthony and Dakota and the North
western elevators, coal sheds and
two box cars containing wheat ear
~ this morning, causing loss Of
$50, 900, believed covered by in
slrance. -.
A shift of the wind from the
southeast to the east saved the busi-
ness district of the city. The fire
was the most spectacular in the
history Of Hillsbore, flying embers
shooting skyward and falling over
different parts of the city, causing
small fires which were easily ex-
tinguished.
Theodore Kaldor, president of
the Hillsboro city. commission, de-
clared this morning that in his be-
lief the two elevators were fired.
The state fire marshal will be noti-
fled today, and is expected to make
a complete investigation. Just two
weeks ago two attempts were made
In one night to fire the elevators.
The wind at that time was from the
southeast, and had the fires gained
headway the business district of
the city would have been in peril.
1T seems as though the firebugs
have a grudge against the city,"
said Mr.. Kaldor in commenting on
the fire this morning. ''In the
two attempts made two weeks ago
at l o'clock and Z o'clock in the
morning, the wind would have car
ried the flames into the heart of
the business district" @
4 The fires were almost simultan-
eous. Called to fight the fire
which started under the driveway
of the, St. Anthony and Dakota ele-
vator, firemen noticed that the low
or portion Of the Northwestern ele-
vator was ablaze. Both blazes
gained good headway, and the
structures were razed to the ground.
Two boxcars, one filled with about
1,400 bushels of wheat, standing
alongside the Northwestern elevator
We're burned.
The loss on the Northwestern ele-
vator is estimated at about $4,000,
with about $4,000 loss in grain,
little of which can be salvaged.
The loss on the. St. Anthony otruc-
ture was estimated this morning at
$4,000. Wheat and barley valued
at $4,000 was destroyed. The
Northwestern elevator was managed
by Oscar Moore; and the st. An
thony by E. Schumacher.
The elevators were located in the
south portion of the town..

TRIES i TO. MURDER
!. WITH BIG KNIFE

Divide County Journal: Jan
Dzialowski, of Kermit. was arrest
ed this week on a charge preferred
against him by Albert Lesmick, also
OF Kermit.
The specific charge made by Les
mick and to which the defendant
has made confession is assault
with q deadly weapon with intent
to kill" The complaint charges
and the confession, which DZialow
witnesses, recites that on the 18th
day Of April, 1919, the defendant
did then and thore wilfully, unlaw-
fully, feloniously and with premed
itation and malice aforethought, by
means Of certain deadly weapon,
to-wit: a. certain butcher knife
with blade about ten inches long,
make an assault upon the. person of
one Albert Lesmick, and forcefully
and violently stabbed and: cut the
said Albert Lesmick with said knife
upon the left arm and upon the
body. with intent then and there
living in him the said jar Dzialow-
ski, wilfully, unlawfully and felon-
ousy and with generalization and
malice aforethought to kill and mur-
der the said Albert Lecmick, and
all without justiflable or $excnsable
cause.
According to- the story told by
the complaining witness, he was
indebted to Dzialowski, but was un-
able to meet the obligation. Every
third night Dzialowoski would call
upon him and demand payment and
threaten to kill him If he did not
pay. This continued for some time
and on the 18th Of April, he alleges,
Dzialowoski5 attempted to carry out
his threat. 81.
The defendant readily admitted
his guilt and signed a confession.
He was admitted to bail In the sum
OF $500 until such time &C tits con-
venient for the county officials to
take him before Judge Leighton at
Minot for sentence. &

The railroads are broken.
Their debts grow like rolling
snow balls. Ever since they got
out of the hands of private owners
they have been as profitable as q
soda fountain at the North Pole.
The private owners were not an
gels. Their motive was not phil
anthropy. Their inspiring purpose
was to make money for Themselves
all they could. But IL they did
not give some kind of service In ex-
change for it they could. not make
any. .., =
They could not fall back upon
taxation. The government perhaps
feels that it can, but. since filling
their income tax, declarations the
people begin to think there must be
some limit to taxation.
The answer seems to be speciai
session of congress to deal with the
problem. Without funds for ex-
tension, improvements and repairs
the condition of the railroads when
summer trade activities are timed
to begin will put the country face
to face with situation comparable
only to total crop failure or q de-
vastating earthquake. The roads
cannot be thrown back at their
owners in their present shape. and
only congress can formulate q plan
for preparing them for this CON
Eumation.

TO REFER COUNTY
SEAT REMOVAL

Bismarck, N. D., May IA ma
jority OF the counties west of the
river and some of the smaller shires
in central and eastern North Dako-
ia are having their eyes opened by
an independent. non-political refer
endum movement which has QUIET
ly been launched in the northwest
ern part of the state against House
Bill 100. Until this movement be-
gan very few people had heard any
thing about House Bill 100, and
those who had heard of 1t had given
it no consideration. Now, at least
half Of the counties in the state are
beginning to take notice, seemingly
convinced that for them, House
Bill 100 is very important ana
highly explosive bit of legislation.
The bill was introduced in the
house of the 18th assembly by Del
Patterson of Donnybrook, league
f1oor-leader. It went through both
houses without debate. In the
printed volume of session laws it
occupies less than half a page. 1t
relates to the removal of county
seats, and it provides machinery
whereby the erection OF county
buildings by the town which wins
blocked by its rivals until there is
another general election ana an
other county seat contest, Then,
should the county seat be removed
to some other point, the disgruntl-
ed contestants may again Join hands
and repeat the process indefinitely.
This applies not only to county
seats where court houses have not
been erected but to old established
county seats in which the appraised
value Of the court house does not
exceed 100000, and the effect, the
referendum committee contends,
would be to subject every county
seat west of the river except those
of Morton and Stark and possibly
Hettinger, to preambulation every
four years and to prevent these
counties as we'll as q sizeable num-
ber east of the river, from ever OBJ
tanning suitable court houses.
The counties said to be affected
by the valuation clause in House
Bill 100 are Burke, kenville, Ro-
lette, Nelson, Steele. Sheridan, Lo-
gan, Emmons and Mcintosh, cast
of the river, with Oliver, Mercer,
Dunn, Billings, Golden Valley, Sioux
Grant, Adams, probably Hettinger,
Bowman. Slope end Mckenzie west
of tho river :t ~. e. =, =. > -, -,
This is one referendum movement
said to be absolutely non-partisan
and to have the active support OF
the several factions within the
league of members of the I. v. A.
and Of innocent by-standers, neu-
trails, paciflstts and watchful walt
ers. Petitions soon will be in cir
culation in every county in. the
state.
