BISMARCK, Dak., April 9.-At a meet
ing of the Burleigh County Bar asso-
citation tonight, the following resolu-
tions regarding the newly-appointed
judge of the Fourth district were
passed:
Whereas, The president of the United
States has appointed John E. Garland,

justice of the supreme court of the ter
ritOry of Dakota, as successor to Judge

able position, we cannot but regret that
his appointment necessitates his re-
moval from the city of Bismarck, taking
from the association member whom
we have learned to honor and respect,
both as man and lawyer, because of
his learning and integrity, his high
sense of justice, his modest demeanor,
kindly nature and generous impulses;
therefore, be it

A Scheme of Murder.

Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, To-, April 9.-Clint Han
sell conspired with Homer Shockley to
murder Harvey Haines, farmer living
alone Just north of Hickory Grove, in
PoweShik county. The plot was dis
covered and Sheriff Hogan, deputy
and a third person went to Haines'
house, notified him of the intended
crime, and then all prepared to watch
for the conspirators. About IL o'clock

the door was opened to their rapping,
they entered and told Haines to hold up
hands. The sheriff then advanced from
his hiding place and fired. Hansell was
struck under the shoulder with a charge
of shot and fatally wounded. The other
would-be assassin escaped. Hainess,
whom they sought to murder, is worth
$4,000 or SIS, 5,OO0, was living in miserly
manner, but never keeps any money
about the house. Robbery was evident

The Committee Tried to Knock
Out the Tall Young Manager of
the Olympic.
A recess was taken to give this COM
mittee an opportunity to torture itself
over the alleged political proclivities of
every delegate, and have the periodical
fight for which Republican committees
on credentials are famed throughout the
land. Did they have fghtP Why, of
course they did. 1t lacked about fifteen
minutes of noon when Capt. Burger
was emitted from the committee room,
and he was wrathy and excited.
He soon gathered crowd around
him, and to them he re-
lated his grievances. He said
the committee would submit both
majority report and minority report.
The majority report excluded Edwin z.
Hilton, of the Third ward, on the
ground that he was supposed to be
Democrat and working in the alder
manic interests of Pat Conley. Capt.
Burger objected to this, and he wanted
the crowd to stand by him when he
started in to down the majority report
of the committee in the convention.
The crowd resolved then and there to
But at noon Chairman Mcdonald sur
prised the expectant delegates by call
ing them to order and informing them
that the committee was ready to report.
Chairman Mccarthy adopted his best
military attitude as he read the report.
He gave it out cold and bold that Ed
Hilton was knocked out of the Third
ward delegation by vote of 9 to l, and
his voice rang out clear from the stage,
while he forgot his old rheumatic aches.
AS he read the list of delegates it
dawned upon the convention that in the
First ward Frank Hoskins, labor
agitator, had the proxy of John E. Kill
berg, and ID. Aberle, a wholesale liquor
man, for Augest Johnson, while in the
Third ward, E. p. Wade, colOred
politician, held the proxy. of Charles
James, Leo Bruggeman in the fifth,
that of Henry Schlatte, and E. Chisholm
that of John Horeish, and Fred G.
lawyer of the Seventh, that of George
G. Squires. Nobody objected to these
proxies, although they made enough
trouble before the convention ad-
journed.
No sooner had Gen. MacCarthy's COM
manding tones subsidized than Edwin F.
Hilton. the popular young manager OF
the Olympic theater, arose and
DEMANDED THE RECOGNITION

Mr.. Hilton's solid position and his in

tee had given it out in unmistakable
terms that it did not think Mr.. Hilton
was Republican. Therefore Mr.. Hill
ton said:

WITHOUT A TREASURER.

A Wisconsin County Treasurer
Dies Suddenly and Has no Dep
uty.
Special to the Globe.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, April o.
In the sudden death of A. j. Mcdonald,
county treasurer, to-day, the county of
Chippewa is placed in singular di-
lemma. Mr.. Mcdonald has been i'll for
some days, and died quite suddenly and
unexpectedly, probably from apoplexy.
The law makes it mandatory upon the
treasurer to appoint deputy, but Nc
Donald failed to comply with the order,
and in consequence the county financial
affairs are at Stand-Still. The
clerk in the Office is helpless
and cannot receive or disburse money.
John Kane, chairman of the county
board, closed the Office to-day until a
successor can be elected, for which pur-
pose the board has been summoned. 1t
is probable that John Kane will receive
the appointment, as he had already
been announced as candidate at the
coming election. While there may be
no reason for suspicion in the death of
Nc Donald, there was considerable sur
prise upon examining his bachelor quar-
terS to find his watch missing and no
money about his person, but they will
doubtless turn up in due time.

"vow no AS You PLEAsE."

Mr.. Hilton's voice was wonderfully
clear and vigorous. He carried the en-
tire convention, and his enemies wilted
under that independent, candid gesture
of his right hand. He won the
fight in one sharp, decisive
round, and ID. Aberle indorsed
every word he said. w. p. Jewett,
the member on the committee from the
Third ward, then moved that the report
of the committee be amended so that
Mr.. Hilton's name be included among
the delegates. w. M. Bole said he
hadn't voted on the question in the
committee, so the statement that the
vote to exclude Hilton was 9 to 2 was
incorrect. Gen. MacCarthy wanted the
report referred back to the committee,
as the action on Mr.. Hilton was taken
on the representation of the delegate
from the Third ward. Capt. Burger
seconded Gen. MacCarthy's motion,

tonic accent: 81 want every Irishman
in the city to be with the Re

ST. PETER, Minn., April 9.-The rise

the river was carried away last night,
occasioned by the washing away of the
bank. 1t is now possible that change
in the channel of the river may occur.

not be calculated at present. All COM

ried around by the way of Kasota.

have tendency to bring the river be-
yond the high water mark that was
reached seven years ago. Ice is no
longer seen coming down the stream,
but parts of buildings are occasionally
seen floating down, which seems to in
dicate serious damage above.
