MOTHER GIVES CHILD

Fortuna, N. D., June 2.----After
apparently forcing her 2k-year-old 2
daughter to drink milk diluted with
strvrhnine, Mrs. John Muzzy~ 80:
farmers wife residing eight miles
northwest OF Fortuna. is believed to
have drunk from the same cup.
Their bodies were found on the
kitchen floor by her husband when
he returned from the fields. The
woman had been i'll and it is said,
at times demented for several
months. Earlier in the day Muzzy
started to Bromehead, Sask., with
his wife to consult specialist. The
automobile broke down and they
postponed the trip until the follow
ing day. q. L.. &.
1t is believed Mrs. Muzzy forced
her child to drink the poisoned
milk, and then took her own life by
drinking the liquid, shortly after
her husband went to the field. 'S5r

SIMPLY CANNOT ~
J TELL THE TRUTH

About the most cheerful liars
The Tribune has come in contact
with for some time are the editors
OF the Columbus Reporter and the
Flaxton Times, both of whom avoid
the truth about like a cat avoids
water. We don't know where they
get their information in regard to
the county officials here unless 1t
be from the bankers, but we have
found even the bankers more
truthful bunch than these two edi-
tors are proving themselves to be.
Last week these degenerate liars
carry a column of dope in regard to
the incompetent county agent whose
services could not be used; by
Burke county, and carefully avoid
the truth In every instance. We
can see very little use in contro-
verting with editors Of this kind.
They also make a lot of noise in
regard to the county suing County
Auditor C.. J. Kopriva for the
amount OF the seed lien he owes.
and write it up as though Mr.. Ko-
priva was the only one owing the
county for seed that was sued.
The truth of the matter is that 43
farmers were sued by the county,
and as far as we know practically
all Of them did their best to pay
that they could each year with the
exception of J. l.. Christman, for
mer deputy county treasurer under
Lawrence Larsen, who positively
refused to pay anything ON his seed
lien in spite of the fact that he
drew a monthly pay check from the
county for many months. Although
his attention was called to the mat
ter, he always had other uses for
the money. Mr.. Kopriva paid the
interest on his seed lien every year.
and that was about all he was able
to pay on account of the dry years.
Unlike Mr.. Christman, his first
months salary went to apply on the
lien, and the Columbus and Flax
ton editors again lie when they say
that it didn't. Mr.. Kopriva has
receipt issued by Lawrence Larsen
to show that it, did.
Then these same liars insist that
Mr.. Kopriva has more help in his
Office than what is necessary, and
that former Auditor Melby didn't
use as many as Kopriva is using.
We admit that there is more help
in the auditors office now than
there was before, and will also say
that if the former auditor had en-
ployed more help and kept the work
up the way he should have done.
it would not be necessary now for
Mr.. Kopriva to employ extra help
in order to catch up with the work
in his Office. As far as the other
Offices are concerned they are all
taken care Of in an, ef1lc.en, man
ner. and a person is able to find
each officer at work at his desk, and
not loafing on the street or, at work
on his farm as had been the case
during the uast ten years, or ever
since the county was organized.
They are all on the jobs, at all.
times. and. it not necessary to visit
their Office half dozen times be-
fore they can be found.

Sneek, of near Dore, committed
suicide by drinking paris green.
Worry over financial matters is be-

killed himself and he was freed.
Before drinking the poison he told

WHERE CREDIT Is DUE


Surcharges amounting to over
100000 collected by the utility
companies operating in Fargo,
Grand Forks and Minot must be
returned to the consumers.
This is apparently. the final result
of William Lemke's; fight to save
the people of Fargo, Grand Forks
and Minot what was considered an
unreasonable tax. Altho the suit
was begun late last summer it has
taken the decision of three courts
to compel the utility corporation to
pay back the surcharge.
When the customers receive the
checks in payment of their claims
against the corporation, or are CIV
en- credit on their accounts with
the company, they have only one
man to thank-William Lemke, at
torney general of North Dakota.

The small grain crops in all parts
of the county are looking better
now than they have for many years
at this time Of the year, and we
find that instead Of withdrawing
from the state hail protection as
had been the case in former years,
most farmers are now applying for
additional insurance of $500 an
acre allowed by a new law intro
duced by Senator Ingerson, and
passed at the last session of the
legislature. About a dozen farm
ers, appeared at The Tribune Office
during the past week to apply for
this additional. insurance. All were
more than glad to pay for protec-
tion when they had something to
protect. and were willing to take
out all the protection, allowed un-
der the law. In spite of the lack
Of snow last winter; the rye crop
mostly everywhere looks splendid.
and unless something out Of the
ordinary takes place between now
and harvest. a bigger crop of this
grain will be harvested next fall
than has been the case for many
years. The weather has been idea!
in every way for the growing grain,
and conditions could not be any
better. & ,.s vi ......l.... ..

 It was so good to have done something that pleased somebody that somebodies cared about-that a city needed.
 Speech Just BubbIed over
 Beforehand, a lot of these women had said they wouldn't make a speech. When they got there, speech just bubbled over, and some of them whom hard work had not daunted when plans were to be formulated found success the hardest thing to talk about and said just simply:
 IT just love everyone of syou!"
 And everybody knew just what they meant by that.

But how many members, As many as could crowd in were there, and listened to negro stories from their playmate" Mary Gillen. and laughed for pure joy and delight in them Not content to have her on the pro Saic floor, they insisted that she stand aloft on a piano bench where they could get every detail about an
