CONNECTION WITH .MUR
DERING OF HANSON.
Minot, N. iJ., Dec. 31.—"Mickey"
Burns, a character said to be quite
well known in police circles, and
who has been suspected by the au
thorities of Ward county with know
ing something or having something
to do with the murder of Karl Han
son, near Kenmare, late Thanksgiv
ing night or early the morning of
November 29th, was arrested at
Kenmare yesterday by Deputy Sher
iff Nedreloe and brought to this
city where he is now confined in
the Ward county jail.
Has Been Working in Mines.
Burns has been sought after by
the authorities ever since the cor
oner's inquest, conducted on the
29th. He was seen at Kenmare
Thanksgiving day but on Friday,
the 29tli, had completely disappear
ed and could not be located. Yes
terday he re-appeared in Kenmare
and when arrested stated that he
had been working in one of the lig
nite coal mines near Kenmare.
Supposed to Have Had Record.
Not much is known of Burn's ac
tual record, which is said to be a
bad one. The local police state
that they have never had any trou
ble with him whenever he has been
in Minot. The first report the lo
cal authorities had of Burns was
to the effect that he was a "gun
man" and they were advised to
watch him closely. Chief Smith
locked him up at that time and
found that he was drinking rather
heavily, but a search of his cloth
ing failed to reveal any dangerous
weapons. He obeyed the instruc
tions of the police to quit drinking
and gave them no further trouble
here, although they have always
watched him carefully whenever he
has been around the city. He was
here again, it is understood, the
day before Thanksgiving, and on
Thanksgiving day was seen at Ken
mare.
Burn's Daughter Murdered?
Among other reports concerning
Burn's past record, is a story to the
effect that his daughter, a very
beautiful young girl, was assaulted
and murdered at Fargo many years
ago. Burns was then quite a young
man and it is understood was quite
well fixed financially and a law
abiding citizen. His daughter's
horrible death, however, is said to
have affected Burns so deeply that
he started down grade and has
since acquired his bad record. This
report concerning Burns' daughter
could not be vouched for by the lo
cal police as absolutely true, but
the authorities have heard it from
various sources and it is accepted
bv most of them as true.
Those who insured in the State
Hail Insurance Co. and sustained
losses this year, have not yet re
ceived their warrants. Last year
W. C. Gilbreath, the state hail com
missioner, drew the warrants on
the treasurer and the losses were
paid. This year a question was
raiBed as to whether it is constitu
tional for any official except the au
ditor to issue warrants. Atty. Gen.
Miller holds that the state hail
commissioner has no power to is
sue such warrants.

Minneaplis, Dec. 30.—"We will
build eighty-one miles upon the Am
brose line and extend the Plaza line
to the Missouri river," is the au
thoritive statement of. Presi
dent Pennington of the Soo railroad.
It has been practically a certainty
that the extentions mentioned would
be made but there has been consid
erable speculation as to how far the
lines would be extended. The
statement of President Pennington
is the first authoritive announce
ment on the question.
With its ultimate plans secret,
but generally believed in railroad
circles that it is heading for Spo
kane and the Pacific coast, the Soo
line in the most important western
railroad move in years, will lay its
rails across the western border of
North Dakota early, in 1913 and
strike into the rapidly developing
territory of eastern Montana. Pres
ident Pennington authorized the
statement that the Ambrose line
will go west across Divide county,
entering Valley county, Mont., and
that there will be eighty-one miles
of new road. This would carry
the Soo rails about fifty miles into
Montana and drop them in a lo
cation just below the Canadian
boundary, from which eventual ex
tension work might push the line
west for Spokane north across the
boundary or southward into the
Fort Peck Indian reservation.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific extension plans into this
highly productive and now highly
competitive territory have been
many. Some construction was com
pleted in the last eighteen monthB,

MINOT MAX'S POCKETBOOK IS
STOLEN WHILE HE SLEPT
IX BERTH.
Minot, N. D., Dec. 28.—Roy L.
Pierce, 120 Nedrud avenue was
robbed of a pocketbook containing
$20, on board Great Northern train
No. 4 early this morning while on
his- way home to Minot from Glas
gow, Mont., where he had been vis
iting liis brother.
Elmer Swanson of Maha, Mont., is
being held by the police here in
connection with the robbery al
though it is not believed that he is
guilty. He was arrested as a re
sult of Ivan Rolligan, St. Paul, por
ter oil the train who is believed to
be the real thief.
Mr. Pierce says he boarded the
train about 10 o'clock Thursday
night at Glasgow. He went to bed
in the sleeping car, and rolled his
pocketbook up in his trousers which
he placed on the shelf in his berth.
When lie awoke early this morn
ing the pocketbook was gone. Mr.
Pierce at once complained to the
conductor and porter, who told him
that they had seen a pocketbook
answering to the description of his
in the possession of Swanson who
occupied a berth across the aisle.
The berth was searched and the
pocketbook was found, the money
however, had been taken out of it.
Swanson claimed that he had not
taken the pocketbook, saying that
someone must have placed it in
his berth. The police and Mr.
Pierce are inclined to believe his
story, and a telegram has been sent
to Devils Lake asking the authori
ties there to arrest Rolligan, the
porter, as soon as the train arrives
at that station.
Word was received from Devils
Lake this afternoon that the porter
had been arrested as soon as the
train reached that station. Dan
Dougherty left for Devils Lake on
Great Northern train No. 2 to bring
the prisoner to. Minot.

WM. KOWLER, FARMER NEAR
CASSELTON, KILLED ACCI
DENTALLY SATURDAY.
Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 3 0.—
William Fowler, aged 45, a farmer
near Casselton, was killed instant
ly yesterday afternoon by the acci
dental discharge of a rifle, with
which lie was hunting rabbits along
the banks of Maple river. His son
George, 17, was with him at the
time of the accident..
Mr. Fowler was riding in a spring
wagon with his rifle leaning against
his side. He was only a short dis
tance from his farm at the time.
The jolting of the wagon in some
manner discharged the gun, the bul
let tearing through his left lung.
He died instantly.
When the gun went off Mr. Fow
ler did not utter a cry, but just
dropped his head and fell over
against his son.
He is survived by a wife and six
children, Esther, Florence, Mary,
Wilma, George and a little baby.

Soo Line Will Build Many Miles
of New Railroad During 1913
other plans being but recently an
nounced. The Great Northern
branch line extends to Plentywood,
a small but strategically important
station in northwestern Valley coun
ty, about forty-five miles west of
te North Dakota line, and if the Soo's
extension from Ambrose goes dir
ectly west and slightly southward
it will strike Plentywood. The
Great Northern main line goes
south of Fort Peck reservation, its
Plentywood extension from Bain
!ville coming up to the reservation's
eastern edge. The Soo line, if car
ried straight west, will skirt he
'northern edge of the reservation,
the eventual settling up of which
is considered the most important
agricultural development opportu
nity ofi the near future in the west
ern country.
Pennington also said that the
Plaza line is to be extended west to
the Missouri river. This, although
only forty miles of new work, will
carry the road along to within a
short distance of the Montana line
and some disance south to where
jthe Ambrose extension will cross it
and the eventual further extension
(of
iSSBis
the Plaza line would bring it in
to Montana near Glendive, the most
important Northern Pacific point in
eastern Montana. It would also car
jry it into territory into which Pu
get Sound extension of the Milwan
jkee road enters in its northward
bend into Montana.
Pennington said he has no state
ment to make as to the eventual
plans and that no construction work
other than the two extensions lias
been authorized.

FARMER LOSES III
E
Lidgerwood, N. D., Dec. 30.—In
1911 some smooth men worked this
part of the country and induced a
lot of farmers to sign up a contract
with the Farmers General Service
company of Minneapolis, which was
represented "to be a company that
acted as agent for the farmer in
buying and selling such goods as
the farmer wanted to buy or sell.
As a bait to induce the farmers to
sign up, a premium cabinet contain
ing a lot of supposed veterinary
remedies was shipped to the farmer,
but, these have not proved to be
what they' claimed to be. Prof.
Ladd has tested them and finds
them practically worthless, not one
of the lot complying with the laws
of this state.
The notes, of course, were sold
as soon as they could be turned and
the present holder, H. H. Peterson,
brought the suit against five far
mers, but when the farmers ap
peared in the case to fight them,
four were dismissed. The case of
L. S. Tobias of Herman township
was tried.
The defense .was that the note
signed by Tobias was not a negoti
able note, that it contained the
words, "this note is not negotiable"
and that being the case, the defend
ant was entitled to make any de
fense he might if the original hold
ers had brought the action.
After hearing the parties, Justice
Wolfe decided in favor of Peter
son and against the farmer. The
case will be appealed to the district
court and tried at some term to be
held next year.
What is the best, way to clean
aluminum ware? Aluminum ware
may be cleaned by washing in hot
water with plenty of soapsuds. It
may be polished with a paste of
jeweler's whiting which lias been
sifted to remove hard particles.
Paste may be made with soapy wa
ter and alcohol, or water and amo
nia added to the whiting spread
paste smoothly on surface and po
lish with soft cloth or chamios skin.
Nickel and silver are polished in
the same way. If the stain is very
bad polish with sapolio. If this
fails discolorations may be remov
ed with a very dilute solution of
nitro acid. Never use alkalies such
as washing soda or potash in clean
ing aluminum. Home Economies

BURLEIGH COUNTY IS PROS
ECUTED BY STATE.
State's Attorney W. L. Smith, has
commenced suit against E. G. Pat
terson to recover some $800 which
has been paid him for services as
county commissioner since August
1910. Mr. Smith holds that under
the law Patterson has not been coun
ty commissioner since he qualified
as city commissioner in August,
1910. This act, contends the coun
ty prosecutor, vacated the office
which he held as county commis
sioner without any action in law.
Hence, while his acts as commis
isouer are legal, he is not entitled
to a penny of the compensation
which he drew.
If Patterson does not resign as
commissioner with tjie installation
of the county officials, quo warranto
proceedings will be commenced
against him to oust him from office
of county commissioner.
