Udgerwood '-Broadax: The denoue
mont of a little drama, or perhaps
even tragedy, of the borne, came in
I thisr-city last week, and the tale is
worth telling. The first act or acts
were set in Chicago and th6 events
there '»ean only be guessed at, so that
we must begin our story in the mid
dle. There was but one performance
you see. and w^came late for the first
part of vthe 91m.
About three weeks ago a man, his
wife a-ncc two children arrived in the
city and made their home in the old
Eckaes residence, near the cemetery
site. They had come from Chicago and
i woulid make their home here. Natur
ally they, got acquainted with people
and-among others met John Busta.
'Onq..evening Mr. Busta was reading a
newsspaper printed in the Bohemian
'language in Chicago and read in it an
advertisement. It was written by a
I husband who had been deserted by his
wife, fwho had run away, taking with
her tfyeir two children—boys. The ad
vertisement described the woman and
childrei\. Mr. Busta at once recalled
the wonVan and the two boys and the
description in the ad. tallied pretty
closely' itli them. So he wrote' the
husband, saying he believed the wife
and children were here. Then he went
to the woiiKin and talked with her and
questioned'her, and her answers were
such as to confirm his first opinion.
Last Friday the husband arrived and
took a room in the Wegner block and
Mr. Busta \jvent to the home of the
woman and, \on the pretext of securing
her services ias a nurs© in an urgent
case, got Jiento hurry up to the room
with him. ,Ke opened the door and
admitted her*' to the room, and when
she saw her ^husband, whom she had
deserted, it was a tableau such as
might be seenlonly on the stage. The
woman nearly fainted. After some
talk it was deuided that if she would
return with her husband and tell her
paramour to leave on the first train,
no action at la-v would be taken, and
this was the fin\al upshot of It. The
man was told tfhe decision. Both h«
and th0 womap wept unreservedly
when the time came for separation
and a queer touch was given the inter
view when sho epcclaimed: "I wanted
you to go to the picture show with me
last night and you said, 'No wait, till
tonight' Now we1.can never go again
we have had a terrible drama of our
own." And the hnsband with his wife

and two sons left that evening for the
home in Chicago.
Perhaps the story may seem tawdry
and commonplace, and hardly worth
the space it occupies. But it may
carry its lessons. And one of these is
that the world is a small place, after
all. Another is that advertisements
aro. read. Yet another is: "Be sure
your sins will find you out."

The wife and children were taken to
the home of AI Erb, three miles north
of the city, where they are being cared
for.

IN JAIL
MSnot, N. D., May 26.—John Piekos'
wife and several children arrived frem
Bohemia on No, 5, Sunday afternoon,
to find Piekos in the county jail, held
under $5,000 bonds, as a witness in the
Staff case, which will be tried at the
fall term. Piekos was the only witness
to the shooting when rftaff shot and
killed his
in a barrel a week ago
Sunday. Piekos' testimony all the
way through was very favorable to
Staff, and under the circumstances it
was considered best to hold the man
as a witness. As a result, Justice
Burke placed the man under heav^
bonds which he cannot furnish.
Piekos was very much disappointed
not to be able to join his family, but it
is believed that he has himself to
blame for the mess that he has gotten
himself into. Piekos had hired out to
Staff to work on the farm and had
spent only one night at the farm.

Mott, N. D., May 26.--John Wake
JReld, wliile working with his large
•tractor plow outfit on the farm south
of town, met with a serious and what
might have proven a fatal accident
last Saturday afternoon. It appears
that he had reached th^ end of a field
and was in the act of making a turn
when the accident happened. While
passing over a dead furrow, the engine
seemed to give a lurch, throwing the
unfortunate man directly underneath
the plows, the heavy wheels and plow
points striking him with much force
on the upper part of the body.
As quickly as possible the engine
was stopped and it was with difficulty
that Mr. Wakefield was removed from
his perilous position. With all possi
ble haste, both Drs. Redman and
Rucker were rushed to the Wakefield
home, arriving there about the same
time that the injured man had been
carried to the house.
On examination it was found that
four ribs were broken and the left
shoulder badly dislocated, also the
chest was somewhat crushed. Lacera
tions were found on both arms and
head and for some time his life wag
despaired of. His remarkable robust
constitution, however, together with
his gritty nerve, aided considerably in
lending strong hopes for his recovery,
which, according to the attending phy
sicians' report today, is now practical
ly assured.
News of the distressing accident
caused much concern in our communi
ty, the Wakiefleld family being
amongst the earliest settlers of tha
county, and it is with regret that we
are compelled to chronicle such a seri
ous accident that falls on our esteemed
friend.
A coincidence, and one that bears
the "hoodoo" strain, is that another
brother, Knox, met with ail accident
on the same outfit about two years
ago, in which he lost a limb.
Sympathy of the entire community
will be extended to the Wakefield
household and it is sincerely hoped
that John will fully recover from his
injuries, although it is known that he
will be confined to his home for a con
siderable time.

i'S BITE
Kenmare, N. D., May 26.—While, en
deavoring to prevent a snarling dog
from biting some children, Mrs. G. F.
Emerson was herself bitten on the
hand by the beast which was a family
pet. On examination of the dog's
head at Grand Forks it was discover
ed the canine had hydrophobia.
Reaction for rabies Was considered
positive by the Grand Forks physi
cians who made the examination and
Mrs. Emerson at once left for that
city to take the Pasteur treatment.
Luckily the mad dog only inflicted
a light schatch on Mrs. Emerson's
hand which probably accounted for
her rapid recovery. She is now home
again permanently cured from any of
the venomous sting of the* beast's
malady.

Williston. N. D.. May 26.—John
Bruegger returned Monday from his
trip to Washington to put before the
secretary of the interior the needs of
the Williston irrigation project. At
the hearing given by Secretary Lane
the different projects were called upon
alphabetically to put their case before
the secretary and the reclamation serv
ice officials. It took a long time to get
around to North Dakota, but, after
waiting Bixteen days and listening to
grievances from all parts of the irri
gated country, North Dakota's turn

came and Mr. Bruegger put in his best
work In an endeavor to lay before the
secretary and reclamation service of
ficials the exact conditions and needs
of our project. Of course it Is too
soon to know just what has been ac
complished. but Mr. Bruegger feels
that foundations have been laid for
..working out a solution of our prob
lems. He thinks a workable plan will
be evolved, out of experiences and
hearings in connection with the var
ious projects and, although our prob
lems are different from those of most
of the others, a way will be found
to give our farmers a chance to de
velop their farms and succeed in ir
rigating under the government sys
tem. Mr. Brugger urges that all farm
ers under the ditch get their land
prepared for irrigation at the earliest
possible date and be ready to make i
use of whatever opportunity the gov
ernment offers in getting the project
into a thorough working condition.
While it will take some time for the
government to mature plans in solv
ing the problems confronting the serv
ice, no farmer will make a. mistake
in getting his land in shape to make
the best possible use of the terms
finally decided upon. Mr. Bruegger
spent, valuable time and was at con
siderable expense in getting our side
of the question before the government
and it is to be hoped a knowledge of
conditions here will bring about a
practical workable system of furnish
ing water and that, through the en
couragement this will bring, every
one under the ditch will do his level
best to get the greatest possible Bene
fit from the water furnished.
Bismarcki N. D., May 26.—-The hear
ing in the base of Ben if. l^ess, charg
ed with having attempted to bribe
members of the last legislative ses
sion in the interest of having the anti
snufE bill killed, was adjourned to
allow tha state to secure the presence
of Dr. Bartley, a member of the
house, and one who is said to have
been offered a bribe and also of the
United States marshal for North Da
kota, James Shea, whose name was
also mentioned at the time of the trial
before the bar of the house at which
time Ness was found guilty. Ness
was on the stand«all day today and
the trend of his testimony was to
show that he was trying to incrimin
ate Twichell and Divet, the com
plaining witnesses, by getting them
to state they would accept a bribe.
Ness is said to have suffered in a
business way from some former ac
tion of the complaining witnesses. He
claims to have taken this way to "get
even."
There is considerable speculation as
to the outcome of the case before the
district court, friends of both sides
claiming to be entirely confident of
the outcome. It is expected that the
two witnesses who will be called in
rebuttal by the state will have been
secured by Monday and that the trial
will be closed Monday afternoon. It
has been generally understood that
Mrs. Kinsey, who was a stenographer
at the last session, would be called as
she was a prominent witness at the
time of the house hearing, but up to
the present time she has not put in
an appearance.
The attorney general and his entire
force of assistants are aiding the
state's attorney in the prosecution. Ed
Sinkler of Minot, is conducting the
case for the defense.
"Wimbledon, N. D., May
Schwan, superintendent bridges and
buildings, for the Soo line has succeed
ed in finding the old pipe in the
artisian well at this place after a long
search and has driven over' 400 feet of
new casing inside of the old casing.
The city has ordered 400 feet more of
casing and the well will be recased
down to the six inch casing. Mr.
Schwan has orders from the company
to connect the new pipe up to the
city mains before he leaves which
will no doubt be done some time next
week. Mr. Schwan has worked under
difficulties since coming on the job as
the old pipe was dynamited off down
sixty feet and the old casing battered
up so that it was almost impossible
for one to find the opening under
water, which had to be done before
new casing could be put down, but he
kept at it until he succeeded in get
ting the well under control.
The farmers east of town will be
thankful to see the flow of water shut
off as it has done quite a lot of dam
age to one or two farms, for this year,
And the city will also be glad to see
the water turned inlo the mains again,
We have been very fortunate that a
fire did not get started while we were
without, apy fire protection.*
