Lest We ForuetI

A correspondent writes: During
some canteen work recently came
in touch with an escaped prisoner OF
war, who had spent one year In Ger
man captivity, who related some Of
his experiences. He had made no
fewer than six attempts to escape, and
the first five unsuccessful efforts were
punished in most barbaric fashion.
He had had to und rgo a reduction in
rations to two ounces of bread and two
ounces of meat per day. then solitary
confinement in a dark cell for fort
night, with only two ounces Of bread
per day. The third attempt to escape
called forth the horrible reprisal of be.
Ing nailed to plank of wood by the
fleshy web between the thumb and
forefinger, where large scars still re-
main. On the fourth occasion the poor
fellow received three bayonet wounds
in the stomach, and the punishment for
the fifth effort to escape was, he said,
toe terrible to be related. - Montreal

.MOHR TO INSTALL
FLOUR MILL HERE

Unless something unforeseen hap
pens between now and next fall
Bowbells will have a -four mill in
time to grind -four for the farmers
by the time the next wheat crop Is
harvested. j. H. Mohr Of this city,
owner of the local electric light
plant and the Royal Theatre, has
already decided ON putting In a
-four mill here to operate in con-
nection with his light plant, but
take into consideration and it will
take him several months to decide
just how to operate his plant with
the greatest efficiency. The install
lation Of the mill will require the
addition Of more power and the in
stallation Of larger engine at the
plant than what has been used
there in the past. Mr.. Mohr is of
the opinion that he would have use
for q SO horse power engine In or
der to run the -four mill, feed
mill,;and also the light plant. The
installation of the -four and grist
mills would give Bowbells "a
hour light and power service, and
this would use such surplus power
not lsed by the mills.
There is no man in the county
that is better equipped to handle
-four! mill here than. Mr.. Mohr, and
he would be able to realize a bigger
profit on same than anyone else we
know Of If he operates 1t In connec-
ton with the>lig plant. He is.
practical man himself, is a good
business man, and people of Bow
bells and vicinity can rest assured
that things will be conducted In a
most efficient manner after he gets
his mills to doing business. .
i The addition of a -four mill to
the various other business enteS-
prises in the city will prove of
great benefit to the community.
During the past few years farmers
have found it necessary Ito drive
right through this city on their way
to Flaxton, Columbus or Powers
Lake to exchange their wheat for
-four. They always found it real
profitable to take their wheat to a
mill, pay small charge ~for grind
ing it, and get back their years
supply of -four i'm addition to the
shorts and bran. The location of
a mill here would save these FARM
ers the long drive to the other cit
les, and would also give the resi-
dents of Bowbells their -four at a
much lower price than what they
are compelled to pay now.

in the supreme court of the action
against Walker D.; Hines, director
general Of U. s. railways. in which
Attorney General LANCER won

SE|MERS BAND BOYS
Make BIG HIT

The concert and dance given by
the members of the Seimers band
on Friday evening of last week at
the Royal Theatre proved to be a
huge success in every way, and the
entertainment given was highly sat-
isfactory to all present This az
fair drew a larger crowd from the
city than any other entertainment
given by the band, and had the peo-
pie from the rural communities been
able to come as they were on for
mer occasions, the hall would have
been much too small to accommodate
the crowds. The people from the
country were unable to be present
on account of the extremely busy
season, but the hall was filed to
its capacity with practically all peo-
pie from the city.
Every number on the program
was we'll rendered, and thoroughly
appreciated by all present. It could
plainly be seen that the band boys
had put In much practice and study
since their last public appearance,
as the music played in this instance
was much more difficult than any
attempted before, and was played
with seemingly less effort. The
band now consists of % members,
and every last one Of them has been
devoting practically all OF his spare
time in practice. Those who took
less interest in music dropped out
months ago. The band now is an
organization Of which the commun-
ity might justly feel proud, and 1t
is gaining efficiency right along.
Immediately afte the concert
the floor was cleared and big
dance was put on. Like all other
dances given by the band boys this
proved to be a very enjoyable af-
fair. The entire band acted as the
floor committee. and the wants OF
everyone was properly looked after.
The supper was also good. Sew
eral who were present remarked
that the "eats" were better than
any ever served at dance in this
hall before.
Director Seimers tells The Trib-
une that just as soon as the wealth
or permits the band will again give
short concerts on the streets of the
city every Saturday evening. the
same as was done last summer.
The street concerts we're greatly en-
joyed by our people. and We. will
all be glad to learn that they are to
be renewed.

There has been considerable
complaint received from various
parts Of the county of farmers
fencing up public road; or plow-
ing same under the belief that as
long as it was being used but little
they had a right to put it to their
own private use. Section 10038 of
the Compiled Laws of North Da-
kota 1913 provides for severe pun
ishment for acts of this kind.
States Attorney Hanson has receiv-
ed several complaints Of this nature
this spring, and is receiving more
/ yht along. In all cases he has
tnptifed the guilty parties of the
law. but as new complaints are
coming in right along he requests
that The Tribune publish the law
on this point for the information OF
everyone. Further complaints will
be investigated, and If conditions
warrant it, prosecutions will fol-
low. The law follows: Every
person who shall knowingly and
willingly ,obstruct or plow up or
cause to be obstructed by fencing:
Or plowing up any public highway
except by order Of the road super
visors for the purpose Of working
the same shall be deemed guilty OF
a misdemeanor and upon conviction
shall be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding one hundred dollars, and
shall be liable for all damages to

same" tEss
