going to dress: but be sure not to re-
turn too late"
An hour later the girls returned to
his room and found him lying dead.
One hand was stretched toward an
electric button which would have

BURLEICH JURY Will

the Old Courthouse will go to the
jury of the Burleigh electorate at 9
o'clock tomorrow morning. Voting on
the verdict to be returned closes at Z
o'clock in the evening.
A conviction is generally looked for.
All the testimony has tended to show
the old building guilty of gross made
quacy. The penalty in such cases Is
of functions and replace

serve the taxpayers as they should be
served-with assurance of safety. sys-

Only Mistrust Is Apathy.
Only one juror is mistrusted. He
Is Ole M. Apathy. Nobody has been
able to say where he stands. Seem
ingly he may fall in with the other
jurors and support the courthouse
proposition, which is in the form OF
a $250,0O0 bond issue, but he has a
record of having ditched some other
cases of the people in the past and
he should never have been allowed to
take a hand in this matter. Now he
has to be reckoned with. His fell In
fluence can be overcome however, II
the taxpayers supporting the new
courthouse movement will turn out
and cast their ballots in favor of the

MEMORIAL HIGHWAY
BLOCKED End time
BY SWELLING Heart
Road Open as Far as Dome,
However; Middle West
Sets Heat Record

Rising waters of the Heart river to-
day had blocked highway traffic be-
tween Bismarck and Mandan for the
second time within a month.
Melting snow in the Heart river
valley caused a sharp rise in the
stream Saturday night. An ice-jam
at the junction of the Heart and
Missouri rivers held back the flow and
as the result the water was backed
up and flowed over the lowlands.
Water several feet deep was reported
in the railroad underpass near Man.
dan and the paved road between
Mandan and Bismarck is covered with
water for about a mile.
Traffic To Mandan Halls
The rise cut off highway commun-
ication from Mandan to the south but
Gid not block traffic on the road from
Mandan to the state training school
gymnasium where the state basket
ball tournament is to be played Fri
day and Saturday.
The ice-jam at the mouth of the
Heart was caused by the failure of
ice in the Missouri river to break up
at this point. AS SOC as the Missouri
breaks the water in the Heart will
drop rapidly, according to o. w
Roberts, federal weather observer.
The Missouri river today stood at
the 10-foot stage. % feet lower than
the peak reached several weeks ago.
The ice is 20 inches thick and still
solid. Roberts said. He doubts that
it will O out o or that condi-
lions in the Heart river will improve
until the break comes.
Reports from the Heart Valley show
that the ground is thoroughly soaked
and that any additional snow water
will run into the stream rather than
sinking into the ground. It was
feared the unusually moist condition
OF the soil might interfere with early
spring seeding.
The highway between Bismarck and
the Dome pavilion is open to traffic.

The governor reiterated his opinion
that reduction In wheat acreage,

aThere may be good and sufficient
reason why the farm board cannot
accent the suggestion that It purchase
farmer-owued wheat back In the
country and order 1t shipped to mar

He added, however, that such action
On the part Of the farm board would
place the board in q position Of lead
