THE BARREL GOT LIGHTER

THE BARREL GOT LIGHTER
 An English student had barrel of ale deposited in his room, contrary, of course, to rule and tsage. He re- ceived summons to appear before the president. "Sir, l am informed that you have barrel of ale in your room," said the latter. "Yes, sir" "Well, what explanations can you make" "Why, the fact is sir, my physician advised me to try a little each day as a tonic, and not wishing to go to the various places where the beverage is retailed, I arranged to have barrel taken to my room" Indeed, and you have derived any benefit from the use of it?" "Oh, yes, sir. When the barrel was first taken to my room I could scarcely lift it. Now can carry it easily"

MURDER MYSTERY
STILL UNS0LVED

Steele, N. D., July 21.-Oficials late
today were unable to find any trace of
the 26 bodies Mrs. Francis Sheldon de-
clared were buried on her fathers
farm near here. The father is James
Clayton, 60, prominent farmer, who
with his son, Roy, rs, goes on trial to-
morrow on statutory charges, pre-
ferred against them by Mrs. Sheldon,
II, and her sister Laura, IA.
The Clayton's were arrested early
in May. Mrs. Sheldon told the author
tiles her father had killed Ed. Leud-
IKE, an insurance man, and buried his
body on the farm.
Several digging parties have gone
to the farm, accompanied by Mrs.
Sheldon but thus far efforts to un-
cover the skeletons were unsuccessful.
Mrs. Sheldon declared she has been
threatened with death if she divulges
the hiding place of Luedzke's body,
and that she has been promised a
handsome reward if she refuses TO .tes-
tify against her father and brother at
the trials. She also told authorities
as soon as the trial is over, she will
lead them to the place where 28 bod
les are buried and another where three
others lie.
Many Of the bodies are former resi-
dents Of the vicinity, whose sudden
disappearance have never been ac-
countd for. Mrs. Sheldon told author
tiles two Of the bodies are those Of
babies born to her.

NORMAL SCHOOL

The faculty of the department Of

gave recital in the Normal Auditor
lum Monday evening. It was enjoyed
by several hundred people, who
through their generous. and spontan-

feel that their efforts were appreciat-
ed in spite of the warm weather.
Dean Knute Froysaa opened the
program with group Of solos by
Wieniawski, which were we'll render

group Of dances by composers Of the
eighteenth century.
Miss Florence Hedstrum sang two
groups Of songs, the first in English
and the last in French and Italian. She
was in good form and her artistic
work was as always deeply appre-
.ciated.
Miss Josephine Wright played two
Chopin nocturnes and a charming se-
lection by Percy Granger. This was
Miss Wright's first appearance since
her return from New York, where she
has been studying for the past year.

A big Paige touring car was. over
turned on the grade near the Heimes
farm last Sunday morning. Two
front wheels were broken, the top
badly broken and other parts of the
car damaged. 1t was a very lucky ac-
cident and no one was hurt. The par
ties in the car were from Jamestown
and they were going to Bemidji,
MINI. A young man and young lady
occupied the front seat and two little
girls the rear seat. They claimed to
be travelling at about twenty miles an
hour and something must have broken
as the car suddenly turned around and
tipped over. The young lady was the
daughter of Mr.. Rathburn, a promin-
ent business man of Jamestown. Her
parents were informed of the accident
by phone and it did not take them very
long to make the trip from jamestown
to the scene of the accident. The
party returned home during the after
noon and the damaged car was taken
into Valley City for repairs. This is
the second jamestown party to meet
with an accident on this same grade
within a week and it is one of the best
pieces of road in the state and is not
the place that any accident should
happen unless by driving recklessly
or by something on the car breaking
to cause an accident.

ENJOY PICNIC AT
SPRITWOODLAKE

An event that will long live in the
memory Of those who took part is one
that Gust Lybeck engineered last
Sunday. Gust never was known to
go about anything in half hearted
way but he certainly outdid himself
in this undertaking.
It was in the form of a picnic or
an outing to Spiritwood Lake. At the
time set three big touring cars COM
menced to wind their way out over the
Red Trail. The day was ideal and as
far as scenery is concerned, they have
to go some to beat our waving fields
Of grain.
After most delightful drive the
lake was reached and the lunch bas-
kets uncovered. Talk about eats.
Well, at least for the time being the
high cost Of living was crowded off
the map.
After lunch various stunts were put
on by members of the party. Chief
among these, maybe, were the vocal
solos by Mr.. H. P. Holm. Mr.. Holm
is soloist Of some volume and he
fairly made the old hills about the
lake ring when he got started. Yes, to
listen to his original selections is
some treat. %
Then towards evening after having
enjoyed another big feed the party
had a nice drive homeward. It there
ever was such thing as a perfect
day this must have been one of them.

VALLEY WINS Sec
0ND FROM BISMARCK

Bismarck and Valley City played
the second game Of the series which
they were billed to play here, last
evening. The game was called at s
o'clock. A rather small crowd was on
hand, due perhaps to the same teams
playing the evening before.
Valley City got their lead in the
first inning, when with one man on
base, Gobeen go up and damned out
a three Dagger, placing it between
center, and left felders. This gave
Valley one point to their credit, and
base, Goheen go up and damned out
a second later a grass cutter down the
infeld toward second let Co.
heen in and left the man safe on first.
Valley got two more men on bases in
the same inning, making the bases
full, but the Bismarck pitcher pulled
himself out of this pinch and brought
his team out without Valley making
any more scores.
Neither side scored from this on, al
though one or two men got around to
third. Both teams played a good
game, and very few bad fumbles or
overthrows were made. Adams and
Dennis were the battery for Valley
City. Due to the fact that the Bis
marck boys were forced to catch the
evening train for home, only seven
innings of the game were played.

DENIES
ANY APPLICATION

Minneapolis, July 15.-The National
nonpartisan league is not allied with
either the forty Fighters or the labor
ties, who attempted to get together in
Chicago on a national third party
ticket. IS
Any members Of the league who
were in Chicago had no authority to
represent the league officially, A. G..
Townley, president Of the league said
today.
He said the only way the league
could endorse a third party ticket
would be through its national execu-
tive committee, or national dele
gates convention.
"The national nonpartisan league
will never lose its identity by amalga-
mating with any other organization"
Townley said.
1T will always be the national nom
partisan league and nothing less. We
will never affiliate with third party,
but the league through its executive
committee may ndorse third party
ticket or Independent candidates"

MAKES 200 MILES
IN TWO HOURS

H. T. Davidson, the aviator who has
been here the past few days doing
stunts and taking up passengers, left
yesterday for Faulkton, S. D., in re-
Spouse to a telegram asking him to
come there to perform some stunts at
the fair which was being held there.
Mr.. Davidson left at $3.50 yesterday
morning and in little over two
hours his father received a telegram
here, telling him that he arrived safe
~. The telegram stated that it took
him exactly two hours to make the
trip-a distance of 200 miles. This is
certainly making some speed, as it
would figure out a hundred miles an
hour, but of course there is no speed
limit after your wheels once leave the
ground. You. have almost the entire
air to yourself and can 60 as fast or
as slow as you like.
Mr.. Davidson expects to return; here
in day or two, and will then give his
plane short rest while he overhauls
it.
One objection which Mr.. Davidson
finds with Valley City is the poor
landing places afforded near the city.
He has been landing in a field right
north of the city, but it is rather
rough, and if the wind does not hap
pen to be in just such location, he
experiences considerable trouble.
Right here is where we might say
that such a field would be an asset to
the city, altho it might not be used to
a considerable extent for year or
two, but in years to come it will GER
tainly have to be and it might as well
come now as later.
Mr.. Davidson was accompanied on
his trip yesterday morning by his me-
chanic. u

FORMER VALLEY
CITY GIRL BROWNS

Little Janet MAR, the eight-year-
old daughter of Dave MAR, Of the
Gamble Robinson Minot company was
drowned this afternoon in the Mouse
river at Oak park. Y.
Early after O'clock today the little
girl, the Lander girl and two little
boys, Carl Ringen and Edwin Olson,
were playing in the children's wading
pool in Oak park. Mrs. Lander was
reported to have been with the chill
dren for while and left them for q
short time, believing that they would
stay in the pool. According to the
story Of Carl Ringen, one of the little
boys Janet MAR told them that the
pool wasn't deep enough for her, and
that she was going to the river. She
did so, but had only gone out few
steps from the shore when she began
to slip, and then she yelled for help,
and a second later went under the
water.
The children summoned the care
taker Of the park and the police were
notified of the accident. Because Of
a mixup in the directions given to the
police, the department went to the
wrong place and it took them fully
twenty minutes to find the right spot.
After search of about half an hour
the body was finally located by Jim
O'Leary There were many swimmers
in the water but it was so deep and
cold that diving was almost impossi-
BILE.
The city pulmotor was used, but up
to the time of going to press, the lit
tie girl had showed no signs of life.
The above is taken from Minot
paper. The little girl in question IS
the youngest daughter Of Mr.. Dave
MAR, who was the first manager of
the Gamble Robinson company in this
city.

PINCREE MAKES
A fine RECORD

The Pingree ball team which played
two games here this season, recently
closed its season with one Of the best
records in the state behind it. Out Of
a total Of 81 games played they won
10, lost two and tied one. The tie
game was with Valley City here on
the local diamond, when but seven
innings Of the game were played, due
to the fact that the Pingree players
were forced to catch train for home.
Although but small town, Pingree
mas stood staunchly behind its team
throughout the season, and boosted
one Of the fastest teams in the state.
The teams that Pingree lost to were
New Rockford and Sutton. Valley
City gave the Pingree boys one of the
hardest rubs Of the season in the first
game played here. The score was 8
to 2. Pingree's battery for the sea-
son was August Heinz and Ernest
Donahue. They have been re-engaged
by the management to play with Pin
gree next season.
