Judge c. W. Buttz last week SEN
fenced William Sweet, the father Of
three small children, to three and
one-half years in the state peniten-
tiary, after Sweet had entered plea
of guilty to the charge of stealing
flax from a granary on the Herzeg
farm near Grand Harbor. Sweet has
been a resident of near Devils Lake
during the past few years.
This was Sweets second offense, he
having pleaded guilty last March to
stealing wheat. On the former occa-
sion he was sentenced and then pa
rolled by Judge Burr on account Of
his family. Sweet was undoubtedly
driven to his second offense by lack
OF money, he having come to town for
some furniture that he had stored
but being unable to take it out ON ac-
count of a lien held by Lake Fuel
company. On the return home he
stole the flax, he asserted.

The Burns Day concert given at the
Grand Theatre last Wednesday even
ing was attended by an unusually
large number of people, all of whom
insist that the entertainment was the
best yet given by the Boy Scout Band.
Although the boys have been organic
ed only about year they played the
most difficult music with apparent
ease, and went through the program
last Wednesday evening like old
timers. c. B. Welmer was the con-
ductor and it is mostly due to his eff
forts that the boys band here is now
the best of its kind in the entire state
in spite of the fact that it has only
a short existence. The audience was
very appreciative, and there was much
applause after each number. In ad-
dition to the splendid numbers play
ed the boys there was Scotch bag
pipe number by Alex Mcdonald Of
Langdon, dance in costume by
Jamie Simpson of Ray, N. D., and the
Scotch songs and stories by Alex
Cranston of Antler, N. D. Mr.. Sim
sons sword dance and the sailors
hornpipe was especially good. After
the concert dance was given by the
boys at the roller ring, the music fur
nished by Jim's McGurren's Orches-
ira.

G. J. Kelly of this city has de-
cided to go out Of the shoe business
accordingly to the announcement he
makes in his ad in this issue Of the
World, and commencing on Saturday
Feb. will each day dispose of large
number of pairs of shoes to the
highest bidder until the entire stock
is cleaned up. By getting out of the
shoe business We presume that Mr..
Kelly intends to increase his stock in
all other departments, and in the
future carry larger and more varied
stock Of goods in all other lines. Mr..
Kelly is a shrewd buyer, and is there
fore able to sell at as low prices as
the best of them in the regular routine
o. business, but his many patrons
know that when he decides to move
something, it moves in a hurry, at
whatever price it brings.
