TOTTEN DEMANDS RETIREMENT
OF REFORM SCHOOL HEAD

Mandan, N. D., April 14.-GeOrge
Totten, ST., chairman Of the board
Of administration, has made formal
demand for the resignation Of j. M.
Devine, superintendent Of the state
reform school in Mandan.
The letter by Totten demands the
resignation on the grounds that "pun-
ishment of children has been too Sc
we're, incompetent teachers have been
engaged and methods are such as to
make criminals rather than good citi-
zens."
Mandan people, familiar with Mr..
Devine's administration Of the insti-
tuition, are incensed at the Totten at
tack on the superintendent, and his
charges are regarded as being matters
of expediency.

the S1OO.OOO,O00 Stride Of

them RantistS

Concerning the S1O0.OO0,O00 Stride Of
the New World Movement of Nor
thern Baptists.
1t is urged to churches who haven"
any services on April 25th and May
End, that each church have mornin"
afternoon or evening service in which
to dedicate itself to the faithful per-
fomnance of it's part in the New Worl i
Movement.
On April 25th. as perhaps never be-
fore, Baptists from Atlantic to Pa
ciic will work and pray together for
a common end, the success of the
greatest task that the churches had
ever undertaken. On May End.
churches will be singing hymns of
triumph, thanksgiving and praise to
God, who giveth us the victory. II
ordained preachers cannot be obtained
for these services, county directors
will gladly arrange to have the pulpit
filled with strong laymen
In many instances where churches
have received their quotas, have 81 eS-
pect to go over the top with twice as
much as their quota. All churches are
expected to raise their quota, at least.
IT doesn't do the least bit of harm
for all churches to raise more than
they are apportioned. The ambition
must not cease when the specified
amount is reached, but to keep it up as
long as the drive lasts.
It has been wired to campaign
Headquarters for every campaign lead
err to engage in prayer for the sue
cess of the New World Movement,
at 1880 every morning, using as a
basis for their devotions, The Re-
membrance Book.

Prominent Rancher. Politician Visits
Min0f

]. E. organs, States Attorney from
Renville county, was in the city on
business Tuesday. Mr.. organs, who
owns 10000 acre ranch near GranO,
known as the Mouse River Loop Land
and Cattle Co. They have 700 head
of fine black cattle at present and last
fall sold their two-year old steers for
$40 each. They put up about $500
tons of hay every year, have $500
acres under irrigation and crop 1900
acres of land.
Mr.. organs recalls the early days
of Jim Johnson, John Lynch, Minor
Williams, Ed. Kelley and other old
time Minot politicians used to come
up the river with cigars, looking for
votes. Pete Ehr bought cattle from
the late Ed. organs in the early days,
and Pete was careful buyer, often
sticking around the ranch for three or
four days, "jewing" his father down
four or five dollars on bunch of cat
tie. Pete was sticker and while his
visits were always welcome, Mr.. Bry-
ans knew that Pete would remain till
he got the cattle at his own figure,
and realizing that eventually the board
would amount to as much as the diff
ference in their figure, would invar-
iably come to Pete's terms.

500 Doesn't Want That Platform

Who owns the platform which was
erected just south of the G. N. sta
ton during the war, and used by the
500 trains is a question that it troub-
ling both the G.. N. and the 500 at
present. The G. N. claims the plat
form was built for the 500 and has
presented that company with a bill
for more than 5000 for it. The G. N
would be pleased to receive little
check from the 500 for that small
amount and hopes the 500 will be
good enough to remove the same.
The 500 says it has never claimed
the platform, never asked for it in
the first place in fact would much
rather have continued to do business
at the old stand.

CANADIAN ARRESTED
With FORTY CASES
Of CANADIAN RYE
H. Hsnter, with $4,000 Worth of
Fine Canadian Liquor Taken
in Tow Near DonnybroOk.

H. Hunter, Canadian farmer, was
arrested at point between Donny-
brook and Carpio by Deputy Sheriff
liver Walstad Of Kenmare, having in
his possession forty cases of high
grade Scotch whisky which he snug
Gled In from across the line.
The sheriff believes that Hunter is
none other than Joe King, Noonan
farmer, who was sent to the peniten-
tisry for ten years for horse stealing
but who was paroled after serving
four years. He is not certain of this
however.
Hunter appeared in Kenmare last
Thursday with sleigh load Of whis-
key and he peddled out few cases
for $50 each. He got wagon and
headed for Minot, stopping in Donny-
brook where he sold several more
cases. Hunter was pretty well intox-
icated and one fellow who agreed to
give 5000 for case wrote his check
out for $500. The sheriff took charge
Of the check and it is understood that
the federal authorities are to be no.
titled. This man is apt to get into
serious trouble for buying struggled
whisksy.
Deputy Walstad struck out after
Hunter and caught him between Car
pic and Donnybrook. AS he went to
make the arrest, Hunter reached down
into his rig as if to grab gun and
said, II guess l might just as well
bump you off," but before he could do
anything, Walstad had him covered
with his gun and arrested the man.
The team and liquor were taken back
to Kenmare where the entire outfit
has been confiscated by the U. S. GUS
toms officers.
Hunter has employed a Mlnot at
torney. He waived examination and
has been bound over to the county
court. He will also face federal
charge.
The load of liquor is worth near
~ $1,000 retail value and Hunter de-
clared that he had $500 of his own
mcoay tied up in it. Just who he
inten1d to see when he got to Minot
is not known, but he would not have
hadtmuch trouble in getting rid # his
GOODS. Hunter says that he has debt
on his farm in Canada and this tran
section would have cleared him had
it resulted in success.
In1dS Q belt which Hunter wore
was in itemized bill from the liquor
house furnishing the whiskey.
Sheriff ScoAeld and three deputies
went to Burlington last Thursday to
intercept Hunter but Walstad had
gotten him before he could reach that
point.
