WASHINGTON, July 13.-When Hon.
Jere Murphy first ran for. congress in
the Davenport, To-, district it was
claimed by the Republicans that he
would be defeated by not less than
5000 Republican majority. 1t was in
1882. Two years previous to that time
Judge Rose had cut down the Repub-
lican majority, as compared with the
presidential year preceding; and Ed
ward Russell, editor of the Daven-
port Gazette, one of the leading Re-
publican papers of Iowa, predict
ed the defeat of Murphy by 10000. The
result of the campaign was Murphy's
election, and, like the generous, whole
souled fellow that he is, he said: ''My
election was assured two years ago,
when Mr.. Rose demonstrated what a
determined aggressive Democrat could
do here. His SPLENDID canvass and
successful work, encouraged the Demo-
cratic party to heroic endeavors. Prior
TO that time it was conceded that the
Republicans would win, and the Demo-
Gratis never made such hopeful strug-
gle as they did this time. We owe more
than we
CAN TELL TO MIR. ROSE"
Judge Rose is now associate Justice of
the supreme court of Dakota, by nomi-
nation of the president, and his con-
frmatEon is assured. Senators Allison
and Wilson, of Iowa, will see to it that
he is confirmed. because they know him
for an honorable. high-tOned gentleman.
1t is worthy of note that the Davenport
district is still Democratic, the present
incumbent, Judge Walter l. Hays, hav-
ing been elected by a large plurality
over Samuel j. KirkwOod, the popular
war governor of Iowa. Judge Rose,
after the election of 1880, removed to
Dakota, whittier his desires had ex-
tended, for some time previous.
Had he remained in Davenport, he
might have represented that district in
congress during the past six years, for
he was conceded to be the natural
leader of his party in the district. All
Iowa men here, Irrespective of party,
express their approval of the presidents
choice i'll the nomination of Judge
Rose. Gov. Church is also credited
with sagacity in the selection of a good
man for the position, and his letter of
Recommendation was timely and well
wOrded. 1t is understood here that
when Church came here to request the
continuance of Francis until the eYpira-
ton of his term he then named Judge
Rose TO the president as a proper per
son to appoint.

SIOUX FALLS, OAK, July 1S.-Gov,
Church did the proper thing i'm refusing
to grant pardon to Hunt, the Dead,
wood forger. Hunt is not only one of
the most desperate confidence men in
the United States, but also one of tho
keenest. Hunts attempt to rob the
Deadwood bank would have been per-
feet success but for the nerve displayed
by Deputy United States Marshal p. w.
Canford, and now city Marshal of
Pierre. The noted criminal who now
languishes in the Sioux Falls peniten-
tlary, is the bOOkkeeper for the Drake
Quarry company, a concern. employing
convict labor. In this position he has
proved to be an exceptionally skilled
hand, his records being perfect in every
respect. Since his incarceration he has
become an excellent stenographer
and the many books he re-
celves from Eastern parties shows
that he has taste for the works of the
leading authors. 1t is four years since
Hunt committed the crime for which
he is now serving
TEN YEARS SENTENCE.
Before he left for Deadwood he en-
deavored to work the First National
Bank of Pierre, but owing to a wide
awake clerk EN- plOyed in that concern
the cashier was put on his guard, and
when Hunt presented his draft for sew
eral thousand dollars it was not hon.
ored. Having failed, he left for Dead
wool, and was successful in having his
FORGED DRAFT FOR $1,000
paid, after which he took the Deadwood
a
ton to Pierre. In the meantime the
bank officers became suspicious and
telegraphed east regarding the gen.
uineSS of the draft and received word
that it was forgery. p. w. Comford
was at once notified to watch the Dead
wood coach and arrest the man. The
stage road was in a bad condition,
owing to heavy rains, and Sheriff Com
ford was compelled to camp on the res
ervation, as the time of the arrival of
stage was not known. About midnight
the crackers of the drivers whip was
heard. and ComfOrd, with assistants,
anXIOusly awaited the stopping of the
coach. When it was about To board the
ferry, ComfOrd threw aside the curtai
and recognized his man. He at ono Q
ordered him to
THROW UP HIS HANDS,
which he did reluctantly. The hand
cuffs were placed on him and search
made of his effects. In some manner
Hunt succeeded in throwing away a
bunch of keys and roll of paper which
proved to be roll of bills and forged
drafts, the keys belonging to tin box
which he had secreted under the seat.
In this tin box the 5000 of new crisp
bills of the DeadwoOd bank was found.
His guilt being SO evident,
HE PLEADED GUILTY
and was sentenced to ten years. Hunt
has conducted himself very satisfacto-
rilly in the penitentary, and refuses
to affiliate with or in any manner recog-
nize his fellow prisoners. He looks
upon them with disdain. That his
health is shattered no one would be-
lieve, as he looks robust and strong and
succeeds in eating three meals day.
Had the governor granted the pardon
he would have turned loose forger of
the worst type.

GRAFTON, July 13.-Monday last was
red letter day for Walsh county mas
much as it witnessed the hold
ing of representative Democratic
county convention, in which con-
side rable interest was manifested.
For many years the Republicans
have held control of the county
machinery, and up to the last general
election Democrats were compelled to
keep in the background. A few active
Democrats then came to the conclusion
that it was time for action, and TO the
surprise of all the county gave Day a
majority, making
DEMOCRATIC GAIN OF 1914,
Since that time the Democratic ranks
have been on the increase, and to-day
Walsh county numbers hundreds of
her leading business men among the
Democracy. The farmers throughout
the county have become aroused on
the tariff question, and have wisely
arrived at the conclusion that high
tariff party is not the party tor the
Northwest. As will be seen by the
proceedings of the convention, the
county elected twelve delegates to the
jamestown convention, the second
highest representation in the territory.

SIOUX FALLS, July 13.-The Prohibi-
tionists are still at work and will carry
the war into Africa. Not day passes
but some liquor man is pulled.and every
one dealing in cOntraband goods is
kept in hot box. Mentzel and Hamp-
ton, the two informers, still parade up

from the free list. Everybody knows
them by sight, and they seem to enjoy
the not orety gained. Thus far IAN
Hurley, who runs Champions place,
has been arrested six, Will Lawrence
six, and C0sgraff eight times. In one
day twenty arrests were made, and on
each count bail was furnished, the
liquor men returning directly to their
place of business and continuing to do
business on the same old plan and at
the same stand. B. II. Craig, the indi-
vidual who assaulted the informerS. now
languishes in the county Jail for want of
bonds. Craig says he was not hired by
any one to attack the men, but got full

hard citizen and can be counted as Il
desperate man. Some time ago he at
tempted to rape servant girl. and was
only frustrated by her cries for help.

WASHINGTON, July 81 did not in

an additional Judge for Dakota,' said
Judge Macdonald this morning. II

the territory in the matter, except from
casual reading. l am not a member of

appealed to by friends residing in
Northern Dakota to aid them in getting
an additional Judge for that district. It
was represented to me that the Repub-
llcanS were claiming that the Demo-
cratic house would do nothing for Re-
publican Dakota, and that interested
me. l looked into the matter and found
that Judge Mcconnell, among others,
was anxious for the relief proposed.

although busy with the affairs of my

committee on territories and tell them
what | knew on the subject, and. while
Clifford was out in Chicago, did not
cease my laborS on that account, but
fastened consideration of the matter
and secured the passage of the bill ere
ating an additional judge. That is all
there is of it. All the talk about the
parsimOny of Democratic congress in
giving one judge instead of two is pure
bosh and charlitanry. If the bill for one
judge had not been
PUSHED BY SOME ONE,
there would have been no judges given
at all. Now, if it is represented to
the Republican senate that there should
be two instead of one, and that body
amends the bill in that manner. it
must be remembered also, that the first
move was made by the Democratic
house, and under the best light at our
command. 1t will be useless to claim
that the Republican senate considered
Dakota's needs in more liberal light
than the Democratic house, for, if ii
had not been for our work, there would
have been no judgships created this
year."

RAPID CITY, Oak, July 13.-This re-

from Dakota haze labored so long and so
hard in Washington, the opening of the

NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO

depend on the ceSSion of the land by
the Sioux, and the Indians themselves
are unsettled as regards taking of land
for family purposes, as they do not
know when they will be allowed to do
SO OF under what restrictions. So the
news brought by Col. King and DR.. Nc
Gillycuddy on returning from Washing
ton is especially gratifying. 1t is to the
effect that the commission is actually
appointed and will soon be at work:
may be this week, certainly this month.

the writer states positively, as the re-
suit of three-hOurs' interview with

The secretary said the proceedings
would no longer be hampered by the
dilatory tactics of Messrs. Atkins and
Upshaw, neither of whom was particu-
larly friendly to the scheme. Provisions
are being made to overcome all difficult
ties in the way of success that can be

men best acquainted with the nature of
the Sioux. 1t is not improbable that DR..
McGillycuddy, who is the most intluen-

admission of Dakota, have begun to war

bell advises the people of the territory to
set up an independent state govern
ment, ignoring congress and the terri
torial government. His idea is to elect
territorial legislature which will pro-
vide for state government which shall
succeed the present administration of
territorial affairs. Gen Campbell has
published an address in pamphlet form
for general distribution. In his con-
illusions he cites number of
precedents to justify his advice.

! RIDICULES THE SUGGESTIONS

Gamble shows that the precedents upon
which Gen. Campbell justifies his ac-
ton were reversed by the supreme court

there are no precedents in case of this
kind. Mr.. Gamble has given this ques-
ton considerable thought, and the gen.
eral opinion among the attorneys here
is that his arguments against the admis-
sion of Dakota without the consent of
congress are conclusive.
