A large delegation of our people found its way to Medora last Friday. Mr. Lewis F. Crawford returned from his visit in Kansas and the Soutnern states. Mr. Penny, who lives west, and a little south of town, was on our streets Sunday. Mr. Penny has been a stranger to us for some time. v. Frank Stone returned from Dickinson Sunday. Mr. Kitchen had the pleasure of being entertained by our former townsman, A. B. Kellogg, when in Beach- Friday to attend the R, N. of A, programme. Albert Gilbert and Sam Rouse visited the upper school room Monday and gen erously distributed candy to the girls at recess. Both these young gentlemen were formerly pupils of our school. The high degree of intelligence evident in Sentinel Butte was emphasized Monday when a full petition to bond the district for 4 seven thousand doliar school, was secured in forty minutes. But one place was opposed to the measure. Our unanU mity is certainly gratifying. We are willing to contiuue the $2,000 county fun for a stock protective associa tion as we have secured an average bounty of $275 for iwenty years for a school.

I- H'^4 BEACH, BILLINGS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA FEB. TRIE CONDITIONS IN NORTH DAKOTA Partners and Business Men Join in Denying Exaggerated Tales. "The Northwestern North Dakota Fed eration, representing the agricultural und business interests of that portion of North Dakota, was formed at Minot, N. D.. Feb. 22, 1907, for the purpose of making a thorough investigation, including the coun ties of Ward, Bottineau, McLean, Williams McHeury and McKeniie, and reporting to the press and general public. The organization was formed for the purpose of.making a searching investiga tion and confining its report to the facts alone, reporting deaths, if any, endured by the townspeople and country residents, the fuelshortage question, the traffic bio ckades, depth of snow, extent 01 cold and matters appertaining to the past winter in North Dakota atW particularly to the counties mentioned above. Delegates from McKenzie and Williams counties reported that as the»e tvu enmit ies are probably the last in the state to be taken up by hometseaders, the trials of the winter weather probably fell more heavily upon their settlers than upon those of any other county of the state. Many of them came to this section last fall Irom the eastern and southern states with less than $100 in their pockets. Through lack of funds they were unable to buy sufficient 1 umber with which to build more than single board shacks with tar paper cover ings. They were unable to buy sufficient clothing to protect their own bodies and even went hungry to bed for lack of food many times. They suffered of course, as they would have suffered in any other state in the union. Among the older elass of settlers, or those who had raised one crop or more, tfo suffuring of any kind occured. Two deaths from freezing were reported. Early in the winter, before the snow came, a young man living near the Canadian boundary line was f6und five feet away from the door of a neighbor, who lived some eight miles from the young man's claim. His cap, coat, overshoes and mit tcus were r.-.iaiirg frcni the ycf.ng man's body and the conclusion arrived at was that he had become demented, and while in that condition and wandered oil in the night.The other cjise was that of a youcglady While driving across the country in com pany with two other girls and a youni man, an accident happened which fright ened the horses and caused theni to run away, tipping the entire party out. Leav ing the girls, the young man went for the team. When he returned two girls only were to be found. The other had become frigntened and started ofl alone in an en deavor to reach home. Her body was not found until the following morning. Owing to the great deposites ot coal and "heavy growth of timber along the Mis soure river, the fuel shortage reported in some sections did not effect them. It is reported that from Williston 15 rural routes radiate in all directions 60 miles crossing the Missouri river into McKenzie county. The reports sent to Washington show that but one delivery on one rout only had betn missed during the winter. From the stock growing districts of Mc Kenzie county it was reported that thou sands of head of horses and cattle were wintering in the brakes and on the prair ies along the river streams and that the loss from cold or exposure would be no greater, if as great, as in past years.' Lenghty reports were made putting forth the fact that the immense yield of grain had handicapped the railroads to such an extent that cars could not be had for the purpose of shipping in supplies that the elevators had become filled with grain which couid not be moved to market. There were no deaths form freezing re ported in this'locality. The delegates from the western part of Ward county and trom McHenry county were unanimous in their statement that there had been practically- no suffering whatsoever from the severity of the win ter, and that there has been but one case of a person freezing to death in this sec tion of the state. The case is that of a woman, past 70 years of age, who resided on a claim near Ryder, in McLean county, about 35 miles south of Minot. The woman was sick with pheumonia and was left alone in her shack while her nephew came to Minot for medical aid. When he returned to the claim he found that his aunt had frozen to death by leason that she was helples- ?n th?- case there was plenty of fuel an-i provisions in the shack. While in some of tljt- outlaying towns there was a scan-io. o! lucl, in the early part of December there was no suffering as a consequence nnr! v, lien the author ities took notice oi liu- fact that there would be a fuel i:inin". in their localitv unless aid came 10 ihem within a short time, they appefiM legislative and congressional repn 'i^ntatives and also to the railroads, winch appeal resulted in getting the district. most in need before there was any actual .tillering. In Minot there ii.ul been a plenty of everything at all tii ies. This section of North DaKota did not have what is gener ally termed a blizzard during the entire wicter. From Dec. 6 to Feb. 7, the weather was cold—unusually so—but on any day during that time the farmers were able to get to town by reason of the fact that there was very little wind and the cold was not noticed as it would have been under other conditions. PROGRAM FOR REAL ESTATE MEN. Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 25.—Commis sioner Gilbreath of the state immigration department has arranged a program of addresses on the occasion of the meeting of the real estate men to .be held here Thursday. it is thought the meeting will be one of the most important of the year, inasmuch as it will result in an organized effort to disbuse the minds of non-residents of er roneous ideas concerning the recent rail road blockade and fuel famine.

D., Feb. 25. —News has been received of an attempt to lynch a halfbreed by a party of Kussians, near Leipzig, in Morton county, about forty miles south of here. The halfbreed and two or three Rus sians had been drinking in a blindpig. An altercation arose in which the half breed hta'jbed, and perhaps fatally wound ed, one of the Russians. The breed attempted to escape, but a crowd of Hus sions persued aud captured him. The wretch was taken some distance out of town, tied to a small tren and the forty (it- more Russians, arming themselves with boulders, began to stone him. A cowboy from a South Dkaota ranch rode up and attempted to interfere to save the life of the prisoner. He fired into the crowd and roped another anddragged him for some distance. The remainder of the crowd came to the rescue and the cowboy had to flee to save his life from a volley of stones thrown at him. This diversion, it seems, eventually saved the life of the halfbreed. the counsel of older heads among the Russians finally prevailing. The man who was stabbed is still alive, but in a critical condition. Those who were injured in the attempts of the cow boy to save the prisoner were not seriously hurt aud will recover.
