ALIEN HANGS
HIMSELF AT
SOUTH HEART
AGED HOLLANDER TAKES OWN
LIFE AT SON'S HOME
MONDAY MORNING.
Despondency Only Known Cause, for
Rash Act—Funeral Service Held
in This City.
The lifeless body of Steven Van
Hauten was found hanging from a
rafter in the barn at the farm
"home of his son, B. Van Hauten, 2
miles west of South Heart, early
Monday morning. The body had evi
dently been hanging for several hours
and was found by the son at 5
o'clock in the morning when he en
tered the barn to attend to his
Tegular routine of work.'
The elder Van Hauten had been
employed at the farm of a neighbor
for some time but left the place on
Sunday night and stated, that he
would not return for work the follow
ing morning. He was 65 years of
age and for a year or more had been
despondent. He came to this country
three years ago to make his home
with his son, leaving a wife and other
relatives in Holland. Since coming to
America his wife died at her foreign
home and since that time deceased
had not seemed to be in his usual
health and made an unsuccessful- at
tempt some time ago to end his life.
Coroner A. D. Davis of this city
was notified and removed the remains
to the Davis undertaking parlors here
where an inquest was held. The coro
ner's jury, composed of L. A. Davis,
R. E. Fuller and J. Swanson, returned
a verdict of suicide.
Funeral services were held at the
undertaking parlors at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning, conducted by Rev
R..H. Craig, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and interment was
made in the city cemetery.
Deceased had no relatives in this
country except the son at South Heart
and another son located in Iowa.
CRAWFORD AGAIN
HEAD OF REGENTS
The state board of regents met at
Bismarck last Saturday with all mem
bers present and re-elected Lewis F.
Crawford of Sentinel Butte president
of the board Frank White, vice presi
dent and Charles Brewer, secretary.
The personnel of the board was un
changed at the session in spite of
the effort that has been put forth by
parties of the Nonpartisan League to
oust certain members, the. case re
cently going to the supreme court.
There will be one vacancy, however,
as Frank White of Valley City has
been tendered the commission of col
onel in North Dakota's "Smashing
Second" regiment. His resignation
will likely not be filed untiV ^jjie regi

The damage was about $25, covered

Carrying liquor on the person from
one state to another, not intended for
sale but for personal consumption, is

Pioneer Cases in XJnion.
le cases were those of the United
S States against Andrew Haugen and
~ur.'33orn, two laborers from the
Kber woods of northern Minnesota
tio had each purchased a quart of
/Whiskey in Moorhead and carried it
-Ufton their persons across the state
line tp Fargo. They were the pioneer
•cases of the kind in the Union, the
decision affecting twenty-three states
which are now bone dry under the
Reed amendment. The court ruled
that these facts brought the c&se
the act of March 3,1917 com
'^Jnoffly known as the bone dry law

7udge Amidon ruled (1), that the
•sinofde act of -bringing1. intoxicating
"^liquors frbm 6ne*iitite to another is
interstate commerce, and that no hold
otherwise would make possible the
worst form of traffic in intoxicating
liquors namely, open the channels to
bootlegging. The court niled that if
it" were to be held that carrying a
quart of whiskey was -Hot a violation
of the law, it would result that the
next defendant would bring in a suit
case? full in his hands, and the next
one -would proceed to use a wagon or
an automobile, and the worst possible
introduction of, intoxicating liquors
would thus be sanctioned.
Secondly, the court held that the

Company K, and other companies
of the 1st regiment now in federal
service, enjoyed a rare treat July 4th
at the temple in Bismarck when they
sat down to an excellent repast, the
means for which were furnished by
"home folks." Not only were they
served good things to eat prepared by
loving hands but they were privileged
to listen to a program in which home
folks participated, while ladies from
home attended to their wants at the
tables. Friends in Dickinson con
tributed $50.00 in cash to help pay for
the dinner.
Dickinson people certainly do not
overlook "their boys" on any occasion
and all are willing to contribute to
their happiness and comfort.
MANY GUESTS PRESENT
AT PRETTY WEEDING
An abundance of carnations and
roses decorated the parlors and din
ing room of the home of Mr. and
Mrs Louis Petricka, on Monday in
honor of the wedding of their daugh
ter, Miss Sylvia, who was united in
marriage to Frank Burda at the home
by Judge Fred Maser at 10 o'clock
that morning.
The bride was attired in a dainty
gown of white Georgette crepe, wore
a veil and carried a beautiful bouquet
of bride's roses. Her bridesmaid, Miss
Rose Burda, sister of the bridegroom,
wore soft pink and carried pink carna
tions. Both the bridegroom and his
best man, Otto Oukrop, wore the con
ventional black. Little Bertha
Vranna, niece of Mr. Burda, played
the wedding march. Directly after
the ceremony Mrs. Petricka, assisted
by Miss Mary Burda and Mesdames
Albert Oukrop and Mike -Prury
served a four course wedding ''dinner
at four tables, covers being" laid for
forty-five guests.
The young bride has myriads of
friends, especially among the younger
set. She is the eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Petricka. For a number of
.years she attended school in Dickinson
and spent one year at Villa Maria,
Frontinac, Minn. For several months
in the recent past, she was engaged
as clerk in the Reed Bros', depart
ment,store.
Mr. Burda is "ail enterprising young
farmer, son of Anton Burda, who is
numbered among the pioneers of this
community, and who resides about
five miles northwest of the city. The
young man's farm is close to that of
his father's. A new six-room bunga
low has just been erected and furn
ished and will be ready for the newly
weds on their return from their two
weeks' honey-moon, which will be
spent in Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Montgomery, Minn., where the' bride
has relatives.
Out of town guests present for the
occasion were Mr. and Mrs. John
Kouva and children of Sentinel Butte,
the bride's uncle and aunt, Mr. and
Mrs. Vincent Shafranek of Letcher, S.
D., Theodore Oukrop and Joe Vranna
of Bismarck.
Clerk of Court Valentine Koch, ac
companied by Mrs. Koch and the chil-.
dren, returned the fore part of the
week from a visit with his cousins
who live in the vicinity of Center, in
Oliver county. While visiting there
Mr. Koch says he traveled over vari
ous portions of Oliver county and re
ports that the. crops in that section
of the country are much better than
in Stark county and portions of Mor
ton. Numerous rains have fallen
there during the time ^that crops were
needing moisture badly here and dif
ferent Soil conditions are responsible
for the prospects for a better crop
yield.
bringing in of a bottle of liquor in
the pocket across the state line is a
violation of the law the same as
shipping a carload over a common
carrier. Both constitute interstate
commerce, and if the liquor is brought
into prohibition territory the statute
is violated..
Law Says Nothing About Purpose.
Judge Amidon further rules that
it is immaterial that the'liquor is not
transported for the purposes of sale,
holding that the law says nothing
about the purpose of the person who
causes the*liquor to be transported
into prohibition territory, and the
courts cannot make such purpose the
basis of a sound distinction.
The court held that the supreme
court in construing the pure food and
drug act in the case of Hipolite Egg
Company vs. Unites States, 220 U.
S., 45, had declared the law which
must control in the enforcement of
the bone-dry statute. The supreme
court in that case held it was the
intent of congress to close the 'chan
nels of interstate commerce ag&iast
adulterated food products, to make an
adulterated food product "an outlaw"
upon -the highways of interstate com
merce and that such was the purpose
of congress in the bone-dry statute
in regard to intoxicating liquor.
"I^makes those liquors an outlaw
in the channels of interstate com
merce. if the end of the transportation
is prohibition territory," said a part of
the decision.
Defendants Plead Guilty.

Popular Question
The renlimbered conscription list
for Stark county is now open for in
spection at the county aulitor's office,
and is also published in this issue of
the Press for the benefit of those who
want to know their number under the
new system. The names of those reg
istering in Stark county are numbered
serially up to 1399, and this list has
been forwarded to the proper authori
ties. The government officials will
conduct the drawing as soon as the
complete list of those who registered
in all parts of the United States is
filed, which will be probably within a
few days.
All claims for exemptions, accord
ing to information given out, must be
filed after the drawing, and it is esti
mated that the exemptions allowed
will be about one-half of the names
drawn.
The Stark county exemption board
has received no further instructions
concerning the draft and the exact
method to be used will not be known
until the war department issues its
orders.
Preserve the list as published in
this issue of the Press so that publi
cation of the numbers only in the fu
ture will be necessary for each person
to know .that his name has been
drawn.
POISON BEANS GET
MIXED WITH NORTH
DAKOTA SHIPMENT
The demurrer raised by Attorney overseas as soon as organised, trained
Garfield Rustad of Moorhead was. and equipped. It mil be first as
overruled, and the defendants then s&nbled at two training camps, ,-the
entered a plea-of guilty. The judge regimental headquarters and one bat
considered the offense to have bee tafion at- the American University,
unwittingly committed and imposed a Washington, D. C., and one battalion
fine of $5. fct Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas.
Two instances of bean poisoning,
one at Ellendale, N. D., and one at
Medora, N. D., have been called to
the attention of the North Dakota
pure food department within the past
two days, it was announced today and
as a result, the drive to rid the middle
west of the poisonous Orient variety
of beans has been renewed with even
greater vigor,. the outstanding de
velopment in the campaign being the
discovery that the poison beans were
brought into the United States by
way of Vancouver, B. C., Portal, N.
D., and were distributed by two whole
sale houses at Minot. Neither poison
ing case proved fatal.
The present efforts-of the federal
and state agents that are engaged in
the campaign against the poison
beans are aimed at preventing the
future retail of the beans by store
keepers to whom they have been dis
tributed out of Minot, and the recall
of the shipments as largely as pos
sible. Dr. E. F. Ladd, head of the
food work in North Dakota, is di
recting the state drive against the
beans.
Family Eats Beans.
In the Ellendale case reported to
the North Dakota pure food depart
ment, members of a family were tak
en ill after partaking of the beans.
None were seriously injured. The
beans were sent to the department for
examination, and were pronounced of
the poison variety.
The other case of poisoning was
that of a crew of men near Medora.
Beans partaken of, samples of which
were sent to Fargo, were poisonous.
Government Is Active.
The federal government is active in
the prosecution of the campaign to
drive the poison baens from the mark
et. Agents in Chicago and elsewhere
are working with the North Dakota
pure food department to that end.
The- poisonous bean contains a
gluecoside, which, when acted on by
an alkali or an enzyme, will set free
hydrocynic acid, a most deadly poison.
Investigation by the authorities re
vealed several shipments of the
Burma, or poison beans, into North
Dakota, one carload being received by
wholesalers at Minot and another car
load at Bismarck. In each case the
shipments were returned. It is
thought that the Minot shipment came
through Canada at Portal and.that
the Bismarck shipment was dis
tributed from a St. Paul house. The
poison beans mixed with the good
beans is very hard to detect and had
the shipment been delivered to con
sumers a wholesale poisoning might
have been the result.
So far as lqiown at the present
time there is no evidence of the
deadly Burma bean in recent
ments to local dealers.

ment (Tenth.. Engineers National
Army), which it is expected will see
early service in France. Teamsters,
millhands, loggers and lumber jacks
are wanted for this organization.
First-hand, practical experience is a
necessary qualification. Men desiring
to enlist ih this regiment should sfp
ply immediately to the nearest Forest

The duty of the regiment'will be to
convert available timber behind the
battle lines in: France into railroad
ties, trench timbers, mine props,
bridge timbers, lumber and cordwood

A small building over the concrete
pit silo and a big feeding shed at J.
C. F. Parker & Sons' slaughter house,
one mile east of the city, were de
stroyed by fire about 10:30 o'clock this
(Friday) morning. The city fire de
partment responded to the call but
could only use the chemical apparatus
as the water mains are quite a dist
ance from the farm.
The building over the pit silo was
a 12x24 frame structure and housed
the silo machinery. It has been used
by the hired man on the farm this
spring as living quarters and this
morning he prepared his breakfast and
went to work in the field as usual.
Flames were noticed coming through
the roof by members of the Roquette
family, who live across the rOad, and
the word was communicated to town
by telephone. The fiajnes spread rap
idly to the adjoining feeding shed,
which was- 30x200 feet, and this was
quickly destroyed.
The loss will amount to about $1500,
with no insurance.
BARNES' CIRCUS SENDS
LADY REPRESENTATIVE
TEN DAYS IN ADVANCE
That women ^re gradually replac

the Al G. Barnes circus, which shows
in Dickinson on Friday, July 20, sends
out lady press representatives in ad
vance of tiie big show. Miss Emma C.
Miller, general press representative,
travels ten days in advance of the
circus and paid Dickinson a visit on
"Tuesday of this week. Miss Estella
Kahn, special press representative,
travels four days in advance of the
show and will visit here next Monday.
Both are drained newspaper women,
having been employed on San Fran

In the Sentinel Butte Republican's
column of news reproduced from that
paper's files of thirteen years ago, we
find the following item regarding a
Dickinson resident:
"Sylvane Ferris has returned from
his trip to the Republican National
convention at Chicago and to the
white house at Washington, D. C.,
where he visited his old friend and
former employer, Theodore Roosevelt..
Mr. Ferris had a very pleasant visit
with the president, much to the cha
grin of many politicians and others,
who would have been glad to bask for
a few moments in the sunshine of
presidential favor. Mr. Roosevelt was
very much pleased with the Roosevelt
brand button which Mr. Ferris wore,
and now has it in his possession.

SUNSTROKE VICTIM
FOUND ON PRAIRIE
The body of Alexander Burik, a
young farmer employed in the New
Hradec country, was found on the
prairie about a mile north of the New
Hradec church last Friday afternoon,
his death having evidently been due
to sunstroke. The young man left
his place of employm^pt on Sunday
and remained until Tuesday noon with
a neighbor and then left for. his farm
home. That was the last seen of him
alive and his whereabouts were un
known until the gruesome find was
made by his employer. Each of the
neighbors were under the impression
that the unfortunate man was at the
other's home.
Dunn county authorities were noti
fied and Coroner.O. M. Smith and
Sheriff John Bang went to the farm
home to conduct an investigation, the
final decision being that Burik had
been overcomfe with the heat while
walking from the neighbor's farm to
his home. He received an injury in
the chest a few years ago and often
complained of severe pains, accom
panied by a slight affection of the
heart.

John Orchard, secretary of the ad

communication from W. J. StefFan,
chairman of the finance committee of
the society at Belfield, notifying him
that the citizens of Belfield had re

call and had paid in the sum of
$1,029.80 to the Red Cross fund. The
good people of Belfield showed a very
liberal spirit in raising- this large
amount of money in the short space
of time that has elapsed since the
committee from Dickinson visited that
city.
The Stark county Red Cross fund
now amounts to nearly $G,000.
DEATH CLAIMS FORMER
DICKINSON RESIDENT
Word comes from Bend

the death of C. H. an and, foi many
years a resident of Dickinson.
He was bora at Bel Pran-ie, Minn.,
yi 1858, on his fathers homestead, ten j0riLv
miles south of Fort Ripley, which at:
that time was in the wild Indian
country of northern Minnesota. On
this same homestead his parents lived
Vom vr' f-1'^ '™ther
his daughter were all with him wheir
the end came on Sunday evening, July
1st. Walter L. Farrand lives on a
homestead in the Bad Lands near
Fryburg and knew nothing of his
death until too late to go to the
funeral, which was held at Bend,
Oregon, on July 2.
All the children are well known here
except William, who has lived in Ne
braska since the death of the mother
in 1894.
Food economies required in Ameri
can homes to insure adequate supplies
for this country and its allies were
promulgated officially today by Herb
ert C. Hoover, food administrator.
Here are the general rules laid
down by Mr. Hoover on "home cards,"
which will be hung in the kitchen of
every housewife who signs the co
operation pledge:
"Buy less, serve smaller portions.
"Preach the gospel of the clean
plate.
"Don't eat a fourth meal.
"Don't limit the plain food of grow
ing children.
"Watch out for the wastes in the
community.
"Full garbage pails in America
mean empty dinner pails in America
and Europe.
"If the more fortunate of our peo
ple will avoid waste and eat no more
than they need, the high cost of liv
ing problem of the less fortunate will
be solved."
Rules Promulgated.
More than 1,000,000 housewives al
ready have signed the food pledges,
it was announced recently.
Instruction on the card in part are
as follows:
"Save the Wheat—One wheatless
meal a day. Use corn, oatmeal, rye
or barley bread and nonwheat break
fast foods. Use stale bread for cook
ing, toast, etc. Eat less cake and
pastry.
