1t was also shown to the court that
Judge Conner, the old gang judge, had
NO jurisdiction, but assumed it any
way.
She was denied trial by jury, a
right that was won after a hard
fought battle by the people of Eng
land from their oppressors, and was
reluctantly conceded by King John on
the plains of Runneymede. All these
rights and privileges, written into
American law, seemed to be unknown
in Scobey when this poor young girl
was committed to an institution
where discipline is stricter than in q
prison and where she was compelled

When Judge Poorman heard the
whole tale of the treacherous con
spiracy to deprive an innocent youne
girl of her liberty with as little com

the freebooters Of the Spanish Main
he was shocked. He asked question

The possession of SO much money
filled the boy with the desire to pos
sess some of the things money will
buy. Recently, it is said, he went to
Williston and purchased an old auto
mobile for $40. The boy, with money
to spend, easily attracted companions
and four, three from Bainville and
one from Culbertson, appear to have
become associated with him. They
had ideas of adventure.
The Culbertson boy, according to
reports, helped himself to the use of
a car belonging to his father and the
gang is said to have collected such
articles as a couple of rifles, Az
revolver in a holster and a guitar.
Two of the boys were brought to
Wolf Point, accompanied by relatives
and the other two, including the chief
actor in the story, are expected.
Whether or net the story of the
buried riches is true is a matter of
conjecture, even among those who
know the boy and are familiar with
local history at Bainville.

new METHOD OF
HARVESTING TRIED

Northwood, N. D.-The so-called
"New Way" harvester, an invention
with which the inventor has been eX-
periementing for the past five years,
is being tried out on the farm of Ole
Swenson near here and is attracting
wide attention.
The principle used in the new ma
chine is entirely different from that
used in theregular Irvine binder. The
machine cuts a swath of twelve feet
The stalks of grain are elevated into
a revolving bin which through a prin-
ciple of centrifugal force draws the
heads inward and causes the stalks to
extend outward. When the bin is full
it is dumped mechanically and makes
a miniature stack seven feet wide and
about five feet high, apparently solid
and substantial and containing about
the same amount of grain as twenty
shocks. 1t is claimed that the grain
cures perfectly and that the shocks
may be grouped to permit of early
blowing. The expense of Irvine and
of shocking is eliminated, the build
ers believe.
The machine has not been manu-
featured on large scale as yet anC
it is said to sell for a thousand dol
lars, but it is said that quantity pro.
duction would greatly reduce thi!
price.
