Items of a Week From Various
Parts of the State.
LYNCHING IS AVERTED.
Negroes Who Cut a Swede Are
Hustled Away by Sheriff.
A double lynching was narrowly
averted at ftussel, in Bottineau coun
ty, last week, the result of one of the
worst cutting scrapes ever perpetrat
ed in that part of the state.
Joe Harrish and Lou James, two
negroes from a' threshing rig, went
Into Russel, filled up with bad whis
key, and created trouble. Hans Twete
and his bartender, a green Swede,
tried to throw them out of his pool
room. Several 'shots were fired and
the bartender was cut twice from ear
to ear, besides being stabbed in the
breast. His jugular vein was cut
twice, and, strange to say, he is like
ly to recover. A physician happened
to be right on the ground and dressed
the man's wounds.
In the meantime Sheriff McKinnon's
prompt action saved the negroes from
being lynched by taking them In
charge and hustling them to the coun
ty jail at Bottineau. This is the sec
ond time the authorities have had to
arrest negroes for making trouble In
that part of the county, and the peo
ple are much worked up and the next
assault will not fare so well.
WOMAN SHOOTS A FRIEND
Editor Is Mistaken for a Burglar and
Is Killed.
L. T. Neal, editor of the Columbus
Reporter at Columbus, was shot and
killed by Mrs. R. C. Rasmussen, who
mistook him for a burglar. She has
since become a raving maniac.
Mr. Neal was in Ills office when he
saw a building on fire some distance
away. He left his office and on the
way to the fire stopped at the house
of his friend, Rasmussen, to have him
go along, but Mr. Rasmussen had al
ready left the house.
When Mr. Neal tried to get in the
house, Mrs. Rasmussen, who was
alone, asked who he was, but he did
not hear her. Procuring her hus
band's rifle she fired through the door
with fatal effect. When she saw
what she had done she lost her reason.
KILLED HIS BROTHER.
Former Minnesota Man Says Gun Was
Accidentally Discharged.
A. Goertz of Burlington shot and
Killed his brother. They were operat
inga poolroom and were said to have
been quarreling. Abe Goertz claims
the shooting was accidental. They
came from Cottonwood, Minn.
The coroner's jury in the case of
Abe Goertz, who shot and killed his
brother Henry at Burlington, brought
in a verdict of accidental shooting.
Goertz claims that he pulled the gun
from his pocket in order to ward off
blows showered upon him by his
brother, who was intoxicated, and the
gun went off. The case may, however,
be taken up by the county officials.
Mill Burns at Rolla.
The roller mill owned by C. Harri
son at Rolla has been destroyed by
fire. The loss is $15,000 and insur
ance $10,000. The fire was caused by
a lantern being tipped over. It ex
ploded and threw flames all over bur
lap and other infiamable stuff. Be
sides the mill and machinery there
was a stock of 200 sacks of flour,
1,500 bushels of wheat and a large
quantity of cornmeal, bran and other
goods. The engine room, a stone
structure, was uninjured. Two big
elevators were scorched, but were
saved.
Fire at Brinsmade.
In a fire believed to be of incendiary
origin business places valued at ap
proximately $15,000 were destroyed at
Brinsmade. The following sustained
total losses: Brinsmade hotel, $4,500
Citizens' Bank of Brinsmade, $4,500
Brinsmade butcher shop, $3,000 Far
mers and Merchants Implement com
pany's shed, $3,000. There is an ag
gregate of $8,000 insurance. The safe
In the bank is fireproof and no papers
were destroyed.
Dead Invited to the Banquet.
On the accession of a new emperor
Of China he goes in solemn state to
the Temple of Heaven in Peking and
formally announces to his imperial
predecessors the new titles and dig
nities which he has assumed. These
ancestors are then dutifully Invited to
the banquet of commemoration, where
seats are duly reserved for them.
Temper.
Bad temper has an Injurious phys
ical effect on the digestion. Bad tem
per tends to a disposition of blood to
the brain, and this leaves the stomach
nnable to perform its functions prop
erty.
Persuasive.
"He's a good salesman."
"Persuasive, eh?"
"Persuasive? He could sell the Cu
ban government a snowplow!"—Louis
ville Courier-Journal.
The Here.
"Who Is the hero of this piece?"' ask
ed the man who was coming out of
the theater.
And the manager thoughtfully re
plied, "The man who Is supplying the
money."
Poor without debt is better than a
prince.—Turkish Proverb.
IN HANDS OF TRUSTEE.
Defunct Mercantile Company Affairs
to Be Wound Up.
After a bitter fight J. G. Gunderson
was appointed trustee of. the property
of the defunct Whidden Mercantile
company of Aneta. The selection of
Gunderson was not accomplished un
til after a $9,000 claim of Mark Suth
erland and a $2,000 claim of Wyman,
Partridge & Co. had been excluded
from consideration. When these
claims were excluded the creditors
favorable to Gunderson had twice as
many of the claims as their opponents.
The Sutheralnd claim was based on
garnishment proceedings and the pro
cedure was not considered regular
enough to secure consideration of the
claim. The claim of Wyman, Part
ridge & Co. was considered to be am
ply secured.
The Whidden company officers sur
rendered the books to Referee Whit
head, after resisting efforts of the
creditors to secure them for several
weeks. The books had been locked
In the company's safe at Aneta.
Some sensational litigation Is prom
ised. It is said that Trustee Gunder
son has evidence in his possession
that is sufficient to base several suits
of a startling nature.
LIQUOR TAX LAW UPHELD.
Holder of a Government License Must
Publish the Fact.
The supreme court has upheld the
constitutionality of the law requiring
the publication of an official notice by
the holder of a government tax receipt
commonly known as a liquor license,
that he owned such receipt. The de
cision came on habeas corpus proceed
ings by R. E. Flaherty of Grand Forks
county, arrested for failing to publish
such notice, the court holding that
the law was a proper police regulation
of the state in the enforcement of the
prohibition law. Under the decision
all holders of such receipts will be
compelled to publish the fact, which
publication will make it easy for the
prosecuting officers who are inclined
to enforce the law.
CONVICTED OF PERJURY.
Homesteaders Are Sentenced to Fine
and Imprisonment.
Claude M. Wlieatlierbee was ad
judged guilty of perjury in the fed
eral court at Minot and was given a
fine of $50, with twenty days in jail.
Wlieatlierbee swore that he had not
been absent from the land on which
he- was making final proof for more
than two months. This was shown
to be false. Wheathorbee, however,
was prompted in this statement by
his father and for that reason was let
off with a light sentence. His father,
Edgar I. Wheatherbee, was sentenced
to four months in jail and a fine of
$300.
Tried to Take Away a House.
Mrs. Nellie Swauson, a widow of
Grand Forks, charges that B. W. Bar
nard picked up her residence on Dyke
evenue, owned by Mrs. Swanson and
her minor daughter, and stole it last
week. The police interfered after
Barnard had succeeded in getting the
house two blocks from its old loca
tion and he left the house in the mid
dle of International avenue. J. Thomp
son claimed to own the house, al
though having no title to the land
and he disposed of his interest to Bar
nard. Mrs. Swanson says she will
have all the parties concerned ar
rested.
Two Farm Hands Nearly Killed.
Whiskey and strychnine formed a
combination which nearly killed John
E. Hessing' and Frank Nort, two farm
hands, who had been employed by
Martin Gulseth, seven miles east of
Devils Lake. Hessing was sent to
Devils Lake for whiskey and when it
arrived put half of it in a pint bottle
which had contained strychnine. He
then hid it in a manger. Hessing and
Nort drank the whiskey and were poi
soned. They were taken to Devils
Lake, where physicians worked over
them and saved them.
Killed by a Fall.
Chris Hanson, a thresher employed
by Andrew Peterson on the farm near
Merrifield, died as a result of a fall
through a cellar door. Hanson landed
on his head and sustained a fractured
skull. Hanson was unmarried and
about forty years old. The where
abouts of his relatives is unknown.
He had made his home in the vicinity
of Grand Forks for about three years.
He was intoxicated when the accident
occurred.
Girl Shoots Herself.
Mary Ann La Frambois, the eight
year-old daughter of Pat La Frambois
of Belcourt, accidentally shot herself
with a revolver belonging to her father
and died two days after the accident.
While the other members of the fam
ily were absent she took the gun from
her father's coat pocket and in some
manner discharged it. The bullet en
tered her abdomen and struck the
backbone.
Methodist Conference.
The Methodist conference was held
