||IVMAN MURDER
Case; S ST. !. ON y TODAY I
Dispute Over Leasing Farm is
Cause Of Shooting, Wife of
Proprietor Testifies
(By United =. PreSs)

Dickinson, N. D., Dec. 21--lt was
a dispute over the leasing of the Fred
Gillette farm near Amidon, which led
to the fatal shooting Of Walter In
man, last March 4th, Mable Gillette,
wife of the proprietor, charged on
the witness stand here. David Nc
Cutchan is on trial for first degree
murder in connection with the death.
= McCutchan, the witness stated had
subleased the farm from her tenant
and was trying to force her to give
him possession. She refused and
leased it, to Oscar Erickson of Ami
don. Inman, acting as her agent
during the absence of Mr.. Gillette,
entered into an alteration and the
shooting resulted.
David McCutchan sat by his at
torney in the crowded Stark county
district court room and heard the
story for the fight for possession Of
the property as told by Mrs. Gillette
who took the stand shortly before
noon, almost Immediately after the
jury had been secured. She was the
first witness for the state.
Parts of her story were .corrobo-
rated by John Douglas, 21-year-old
lad who. drove the wagon which car
ried the Erickson household goods
to the farm, and was present at the
time of the quarrel.
DR.. Sarchet of New England, who
attended lnman Immediately after
the shooting, testified as to the Il
cation Of the bullet wounds.
Indications are that the trial will
be long and drawn out and it is pos
sible that the jury will be locked up
over the Christmas holidays.

INVOLVES LARGE sum
(By United PreSs)

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. Ala $4,000
verdict against the United States
Railroad administration in a forest
fire test case is considered to in
volve millions of dollars. Hundreds
of similar actions are pending.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry McCool, plain
tiffs in what is known at the Wood
lands test case for $4,000, allege
damages from forest fire in 1918,
which they said started from sparks
from a railroad locomotive. They
were awarded $4,000. The test case
probably will be taken By the rail-
administration to the United States
supreme court.

HIGHWAY |; \ BONDS
T0LEVEL COSTS
To Enable State to Charge
Each Year With its Fair.
Share of Total Cost

Minnesota is paying now for the
roads Of yesterday, today and to-
morrow.
Funds of 1922 are being used for
many highway improvements which
should have been made in past
years and which will serve for many
future years as much or more than
at the present time. e
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, in "a public
statement yesterday, made plain
that to correct this condition is the
main purpose of the proposal for
first state highway bond issues to
be recommended by the state high
way department to the incoming leg
islature.
s'The recommendation is aimed
solely to give a fairer share of high
way benefits for the taxes being paid
now, which can be done only through
the bond method" said Commission
er Babcock. eve cannot avoid pay
ing now for road improvements
which should have been made long
ago, but we can justly pass on to
future years fair portion of per
manent highway bettermerts many
of which will last for all time"
Official records show that near
ly 1900 miles Of grading, some 30
miles of paving, several expensive
bridges and other lasting improve
ments took nearly half-40 per
cent to be exact-of the 1922 trunk

Notable Service to Education
Has Been Rendered Through
Survey Just Ended

Washington, Dec. = 21 ,(Capital
News Service) The Civic Develop
ment Department. of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
has issued a preliminary report Of
its surveys of school buildings,
equipment, health, and physical cd
ucation of schools in our cities. Six
ty-one cities have reported on school
buildings and equipment and 100 on
health and physical education.
The report shows an increasing
number of cities maintaining open
air schools or classes, thus salvaging
imperfect human material and con-
verting it to a high grade product;
an increasing number Of cities pro-
viding milk for the underflourished
school children; and an increasing
number Of cities providing a hot
lunch or hot dish for all the; ele-
mentary school children Efr"r 4
It brings out two facts which
merit careful consideration abb
sence of medical examination before
children are admitted to the Schools
(less than 40 percent of. the COM
munities take this essential precau-
ton to safeguard the health of the
community, and lack of adequate
Fairgrounds (only AZ per cent Of
the cities claim adequate facilities)
1t is significant that IS per cent
of the cities have school. physicians,
about so per cent have dental clin-
les, and about So per cent have
school nurses.

while on an inspection tour of gov
eminent hospitals, was asked to visit
American Legion headquarters to ex-
plain the new step taken by the Vet
Grams Bureau too provide the best
possible care and treatment of neuro-

"The policy of the bureau is to
provide medical attention for the dis

possible may be done to restore them
to health and proper status in civil

"To maintain this policy in the open
ing up of new hospitals, and being
unable to obtain the required num-
Der of specialists in nervous and men
tai disease, it becomes necessary to
instruct a staff of our own for this
line of work.

The Good Citizen.

Burlington Stand-Democrat: We
know of a good citizen who makes a
practice of casting his eyes over his
house and grounds from day to day.
If an axe or spade or any other arti-
cles have been dropped where last
used he picks them up and places
them where they belong. 1t is the
same with anything else that may
have tendency to litter up the
place. The results? His place is al
ways neat and clean, and orderly and
attractive to the eyes of those who
pass by. There are other good citi-
zens who do the same, but there
might be many more than there are

WOMAN'S ILLS MAKE UNHAPPY
HOME.

There is no question but what the
ills of women conspire against do
nestle harmony. The husband can
not understand these troubles and
the physician finds it hard to cure
them; therefore the overworked wife
and mother continues to drag around
day in and day out with headaches
and backache, fretful and nervous.
Such women should be guided by
the experience of women whose let
tiers we are continually publishing in
this paper. Many of them declare
that they have been restored to
health, strength and consequent hap
piness by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound after doctors and all
other medicines had failed-to help
them. 1t will surely pay women who
suffer from such ailments to try it.
