John McDOugaI Not Guilty

John McDougall, we'll known road
building contractor, visited the In
dependent office Wednesday and ex-
planned that the John McDougall who
was arrested for gambling last week
is member of some other clan. His
friends have been bothering the life
out of him since his name appeared
in print. Fact of the matter is, John
doesn't know royal flush from a
tadpole and never CANDLES. 1t is
possible that some stranger arrested
gave Mr.. McDougall's name to the
police or possibly some fellow by the
same name was placed in the tolls.

Landscape Artist Praises Ward Coun-
ty Fair Grounds

ty FAIR Grounds
Mr.. Pierce landscape architect
from Des Moines, Ia, was in Minot
last week comforting with the county
commissioners, concerning proposed
work on the Ward county fair grounds.
He was not engaged to do any of the
work, but looked the grounds over
carefully and pronounced them the
very finest in North Dakota.
There are four points in particular
that Mr.. Pierce mentioned concerning
the grounds. One of the admirable
features is the close proximity to the
railroad tracks, which will be found
convenient for those bringing in
stock for exhibition purposes.
The grounds are along the Roose-
velt trail and immediately to the west
is fine lot of timber for shade and
shelter.
BY building a foot bridge, River
side Park, the most beautiful park in
the state. is acce essable. ..
With but very little work, fine
race track can be built, the ground
being practically level.
With the grandstand facing the east
ball grounds can be arranged.
The best Of water can-be obtained
from wells sunk to depth of thirty
or forty feet.

murderous blow should go home.

She had not dared to resent aloud
the bandying of her name, the insult
of THEN searching eyes upon her
beauty.
1t seemed to her that she heard d
half-muttered exclamation from Bill,
but his face belied it. And in reality
j the mans thoughts were as busy as
never before
! He opened his eyes, struggling for
vision But he could not make out
the forms of the men at all, except
when they crossed in front of the
candles.
The candles themselves were mere
points Of yellow between his lids.
The men drank another round,
emptying the first quart and begin
ming upon the second.

Harold addressed Virginia. you're
hard to kiss, but your kisses are
worth having What you think about
that, Joe? Aren't | tellin' you the
truth?"
Joe! Bills first impression had
been right, after all. Virginia heard
the name, too, and her fears in
creased
"Joe?" she repeated. "You know
him, then?"
"Of course ] know joe He's am
old friend He's one that Bill told
never to show his face in this part of

in the darkness. Ducking low, Bill
leaped Tor him; in a moment they
were Glapr ing in each others arms.
Bill wrenched him back and forth,
aid IN an instant would have crush
ed :he fife out of him if it hadn' t
pcgn fo1 1he interference of Pete.
The latter breed leaped on his back,
and Bill had to neglect Harold an
instant to stretch up his arms and
hurl Pete to the floor
They were both powerful men, the
breed and Harold; and Bill was like
a wild beast.
In the instant that he was free
from Bills arms and he knew that
his confederate was out of range,
Harold fired blindly with his pistol.
Their bodies crashed against the
wall, broke the furniture into kind
ling at their feet; they snarled their
hatred and their curses.
Bill fought like a giant, a might
of battle upon him never known be-
fore.
But steadily Harold and Pete were
learning to work togekther.
Once lucky blow sent Pete spin
ming to the floor, and Bills strong
arms hurled Harold after him.
All three contestants seemed to
sweep to the fray with added fury
! They clinched, staggered, reeled,
then crashed to the floor.

lair The advantage of vision on
which they had presumed had been
in an instant removed.
Harold cursed in the blaekness; as
if in a continuation of the leap he
had made to upset the candles, Bill
seized Virginia in his strong arms.
He thrust her to the floor and in
to the angle between her bunk and
the wall, the point that he intinctive-

~ realized would be easiest to de-
fend and safest from stray bullets.
Virginia's pistol was in Joe's hand
by now, and he shot in Bills direc-
ton. Two spurts of yellow fire broke
for an instant the utter gloom. But
there was no time for the third shot
He was the nearest of the three
ATTACKERS, and Blps outstretched
arms seized him The woodmen's
muscles gave mighty wrench.
his grasp was about Joe's chest
at first, but with a great lurch he
slung the mans body out far enough
so that he could loop his sinewy
arms about the mans knees.
Then with a terrific wrench of his
mighty shoulders Bill buried him
against the wall.
His neck was broken like match.
The ODDS were but two to one.
Harold had taken out his own re-
volver now and was shooting bIindly

@You'll drink" Joe asked Bill.
The woodsman's face was grave
"Noifpaw, it's against the law of this
province to give of receive liquor
from Indians" he replied gravely. Il
won't drink tonight"
Peter turned with scowl His
thought had already flashed to the
white blade at his belt. You're
damn particular" he began.
But Joe shook his head, restraining
him. The hour to strike had not yet
come. They must enjoy their liquor
first and engender fresh courage
fran its fire.
nHave drink" Joe asked Vir-
giila
She didn't like the tone of his
voice. He was speaking with entire
familiarity, and again she expected
interference from Harold. Her fiance,
however was lingering the bottle.
She saw Bill straighten, ever so
fittie and beheld the first signs of
1ieshg anger in the set Of his lips.

thought. Harold turned to stare at
him.
Joe put him pipe to his lips, then
Ifumbled at his pocket. lie seemed
to search in vain. viii you give me
a match, please, lady?',. he asked.
The tone was strange, thick and
| strained, yet Virginia's heart thrilled
with hope. Perhaps if these men
istarted to smoke, their blood would
cool. She turned quickly to the shelf
above Bills head and procured half
a dozen matches from the box.
As her back was turned she heard
Pete laugh again.
i lnstinctively her eyes turned to
the wall for a reassuring sight of her
pistol. 1t was gone from it's place
She looked at Joe; his evil, leerinq
face told her only too plainly that
his eager hand had seized and Sc.
ereted her pistol. Pete's face was
drawn, too; Harold only looked be-
wildered.
He was her last hope, but in one
nstants scrutiny she saw that this
had vanished, too. Some terrible
thought had sobered and engrossed
him.
What is it, virginia?" Bill asked.

Joe spoke then, single sentence in

GRANT MILLER SAYS
REPUBLICAN YEAR

A Grant Miller arrived this morn
ing and expressed himself as very
confident of nomination for congress,
but syas he wants all the votes he
can get and especially his old friends
in Tonopah and Nye county. Asked
what were the prospects of repub-
lican success rhls year, he states
that, from his observation around
the state, the state would go decis-
lively republican; that while there
was evidence of some recession from
the big Harding landslide yet it
was slight, and that he found two
opinions prevalent; one that the ad-
ministration at Washington should
be sustained and allowed to finish
the work of bringing the country
back from the bad condition resultant
from war, which work had been so
well begun; second, that a complete
change is due at Carson City in the
state government Miller is winding
up his campaign vigorously and will
speak here tonight
