Much Interest in Auto Competition
Contest

A great deal Of interest is being
taken in the Auto Competition Contest
which is being conducted by George
Young in cooperation with about sew
enty businessmen of Minot and other
sections of the Northwest.
A. A. Robinson, who furnished the
wheat with which the No-Vary bottle
was filled, is doing a landoffice busi-
ness in, wheat and few thousand fel-
lows are putting in their spare time
counting the wheat in similar bottles.
They say it is a rather interesting
process, even if they do wear their
fingers nails short, picking up the ker-
nels of wheat.
The bottle was filled solid with
wheat and is on display at the window
of the First International Bank, nav
ing been we'll sealed in the presence
Of three we'll known Minot men.
At the end of the period, July 18th,
the seal will be broken by commit
tee of we'll known men who will count
the grains of wheat and make the
awards. The Independent will see
that everything is done in a regular
manner and that the one who makes a
correct estimate will be ava rded the
Overland 4.

W.T.. MYERS, RETIRED
FARMER, IS dead
Pioneer Mckinley Township Settler
Died at His Home in Minot From
Influenza and Complications.

VIM. F. Myers, old time resident
of Ward county, passed away at his
home in this city, 400 Sixth Ave-,
N. E., Saturday morning at seven
o'clock, following a long illness from
influenza and complications, the best
of medical service being of no avail.
The funeral was held from the res
idence Tuesday afternoon at two o.
clock and the remains were inferred
in Rose Hill cemetery. The SER
Erickson, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church and large assem-
blage of old friends gathered to pay
their last tribute of love to the de-
parted.
Mr.. Myers was born in Ohio and
was IS years and seven months old
at the time, of death. He came with
his family to Ward county twenty
years ago and filed on a homestead
in Mckinley township. He was an
Al farmer and built up splendid
farm home, retiring several years ago
and moving to Minot.
He was director of the Minot
Farmers Elevator Co., for many years
and had held positions of trust in
his township.
Mr.. Myers is survived by his wife
and one son, Howard, a we'll known
Mckinley township farmer. A daugh-
ter passed away seventeen years ago.
He leaves three brothers and one sis,
ter and host of friends who sincere
ly mourn.

MINOT WIFE MURDERER VIC.
LATES PAROLE AND is NABBED

Bismarck, N. D., May Ill. M,
McPeek is coming back to Bismarck
for long visit.
His visit, in fact, will be for ten or
fifteen years, unless kindly governor
or pardon board intervenes.
McPeek first came to Bismarck in
February, 1915, when he was con-
victed Of numbering his wife and was
sentenced to serve twenty years in
prison.
About two years ago, in spite Of the
protest of Minot citizens, McPeek was
paroled and decided to reform.
Now word comes to the penitentiary
that he has been arrested in Havre,
Montana, following trouble in which
he is said to have been found to be
carrying concealed weapons.
A prison representative will bring
him back because he violated his
parole by going outside Of the state.
McPeek killed his wife in cold blood
five or six years ago in Minot room
ing house, because she refused to live
with him. Mrs. McPeek was shot
to death in her bed room.

show as much feeling as the hundreds
of other farmers present.
Obtaining a number of dep0sftiOns
from people living in the neighborho0d
of the Wolf farm, the authorities
frightened the net around the suspect
ed man. Finally sufficient cifcum-
stantial evidence had been obtained to
indicate that Leyer had committed the
crime. On Tuesday afternoon the au-
th0rities went to Levers home and
told him he would have to go to Wash
burn with them. After hitching up a
team of horses for his wife, who was
afraid to spend the night alone on the
farm, Leyer kissed his wife and each
of the children farewell. He was plac-
ed in Jail at Washburn and continued
to maintain that he was innocent of
the Wolf murder.
Wednesday night Chief Martinson
started a vigorous cross examination.
Leyer was forced to gaze at the pic
lures of the revolving murder scenes,
together with that of Baby Emma.
The strain proved too great for the
murderer and after several hours of
this mental torture, Leyer broke down
and said he was the murderer. The
confession, according to the police,
was wormed out Of him piece by piece,
until the entire story had been told.
Leyer is an American farmer 36
years of age and has lived near Turtle
Lake for several years. He divorced
his first wife. His eldest child, = girl,
Is about twelve years old.

United States Customs officers WM
Guard Roads Leading to Magic City

Harry Gill, U. S. Custom officer
from Portal, N. D., was in Minot
Saturday and the Independent learns
from an authentic source that he has
made arrangements to guard all roads
leading to Minot we'll, in order to
intercept the illicit liquor trade that
is connected thru the invisible pipe
line that extends from Canadian
points to Minot.
Several arrests have already been
made this season and in two instances
arrests have been made and the horses
and wagons confiscated. These have
been sold. The horses confiscated by
the government from Norris when he
was arrested enroute to Minot with
Canadian whiskey, were purchased
by we'll known farmer residing
southwest of Portal for more than
$500. 1t is said that the horses had
no trouble in locating their stalls in
their new home"
Mr.. Gill is on the lookout for auto
mobiles. He states that Uncle Sam
is particularly anxious to confiscate
a number of new Bucks and other
high powered cars that are now being
used in transporting the liquor. The
very fact that an automobile contains
Canadian whiskey is sufficient evil
dence to warrant the confscation of
the automobile and once Uncle Sam
gets hold Of an automobile contain
ing Canadian whiskey, there will be
absolutely no chance to get the car
back, even tho the driver is not con-
victed of any crime.
Mr.. Gill states that he will take
a car for one bottle of whiskey just
as quickly as he will if it contains
dozen cases.
Mr.. Gill states that a number of
Minot women who make frequent
trips to Portal and points in Can
ada, are being carefully watched, for
he has positive information that many
Of them are bringing in liquor.
Minot appears to be the objective
Of the liquor vendors in this section
of the state, altho whiskey is being
brot across the border all along the
line.

General Chairman-A. G. Crane;
Asst Chairman, H. F. Allen.
R.@A. Nestos, Minot's candidate for
governor, gave a short talk which was
right to the point. He referred to
the slogan of the club, Truthful Ad-
vertising" and said that during the
past four years, North Dakota has not
been we'll advertised to the outside
world. "They ridicule North Dakota
from ocean to ocean, but in spite of
the barnacles, our good ship is sail
ing on straight course-one of the
very finest crafts in the Union," he
said.
John Steen was introduced, but ask
ed to be excused from making an ad-
dress. A large number Of out Of

Bought Thirty Heifers for Ward County
Boys and Girls Guernsey Calf Clnh

Chas. Schribner returned from Wau-
kesha, Wis, where he and O. K. Spires
were sent to represent the Boys and
Girls Guernsey Calf club of Ward
county in buying thirty bred grade
Guernsey heifers. They were ac-
companied by Major Person president
of the Union National bank and the
three spent Monday buying the heif-
ers. They secured some fine grade
heifers, all bred to registered sires
and these will arrive in Minot next
week. The heifers cost from 500 to
1925 per head and will be t6rned
! over to the members of the club at
cost laid down in Minot. The club
members can either pay for them out
right or get them on their notes at
6 per cent, given to the Union Ma
tional bank. It is planned to hold
q big sale in a year and the club mem-
bers may either bid in their, heifers
or may sell them for what they will
bring and keep the balance. The heif-
ers will be selected by lot, each MEM
ber Of. the club drawing number.
Mr.. Spires and Mr.. Person went 10
Chicago to attend the big Guernsey
sale and will probably buy some full
DAOVuSO S0VAHoNyS 3Ahs 0pAS
who owns a big herd of Guernseys
bought two more at Waukesha and
expects to buy eight more before he
returns.
Mr.. Scribner says that the Wiscon-
sin farmers are making considerable
money from dairy cattle. They breed
Guernseys and Holstein mainly. The
Wisconsin farms are small, usually
about 10 acres and the farm homes
are so close together that one can
almost throw a stone from one house
to another. The fields are very small.
Mr.. Scribner saw only two tractors
at work and most Of the farmers use
two horses hitched to a walking plow.
There would hardly be room for a
farmer to turn around in the field
with one Of the big North Dakota
outfits. About every farmer has a.
silo. Feed is high, bran being scarce
