BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 23.-Harry Rob
erts was hanged to-day for the murder
of ]. W. Crawford. The drop fell at
1:12 and Roberts neck was broken ny
the fall. A strong pressure was Drought
to bear by Grand Army men and num-
Der of citizens to have the sentence COM
muted to life Imprisonment, and IL was
not until S:45 this morning that the con-
demned man abandoned all hope OF par
don, when the sheriff read mes
sage from Gov. White refusing TO
interfere with the laws decree. Roberts
did not weaken to the last, and DIED as
he had lived-a cool and determined
man. This is the first execution in Sill
yer Bow county. Roberts crime was
the unprovoked killing of Crawford on
MAY ii last. Crawford was a teamster
under Roberts. and they had quarrel
and Roberts shot him while drinking.
A somewhat dramatic incident was con
nected with the burial of Crawford.
He was a good-natured man and had
many friends. His relatives all lived
at Butler, Mo-, and kilograms were
sent asking them what disposition
should be made of his remains. No
answer vas received for two days, and
the funeral procession. with Crawford's
remains, was en- route to the cemetery
when the coroner came rushing from
the street with telegram from the rel
atives. This stated that they would like
to have the remains, but were too poor
to pay the expenses of embalming and
shipping. A collection was taken up
on the spot. the body brought back to
town, embalmed and shipped and all
expenses paid. 1t was then discovered
that 5000 too much had been subscribed.
This amount was accordingly sent with
the remains to the relatives.

Some New State Politics-A Sun
day Bather Drowned.

VERM1LLIoN, S. D., Aug. 23.-Poli-
tics is badly mixed here. A few
sore heads banded themselves together
to oppose the nomination of George
Mellette, and gathered to themselves
such others in the way of officeseekers,
etc., as they could get. The fight was
close, but the law-and-order Mellette
ticket carried the day. In the northern
part of the county there is rather
strong element in favor of Salmon for
state superintendent, coming from his
former friends and neighbors there.
The county as whole is for Mellette,
Kratz, Gamble and Clifford both.
A knot of eight business men hap
pened to gather on the street corner one
day recently, and on the suggestion of
one of them vote on the capital ques-
ton was taken. The result was Pierre,

This is very fair average for the vote
throughout this section.

notwithstanding the fact that even that
record was better than the best previous
performance by either three-year-
old or f0ur-year-Old. 1t is also
within three-quarters of second

best record for stallion of any age.
The circumstances under which this

to endless discussion as to whether it
was a record in race or against time.

NO CHANCE FOR PROMOTION.
Ability Subservient to Politics in
the Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-President
Lyman. of the civil service commission,
was to-day questioned by a representa-
tive of the Associated Press as to the
views of the commission with respect
to the proposition to so amend the civil
service rules as to remove chiefs of di-
visions from the excepted class, and
place them in the class subject to
competitive examination. He said in
response that the commission has not
recommended to the president such
amendment of the rules as suggested,
though the commission holds that the
filing of places of division chiefs by
promotion of subordinates would be in
the interest of reform. By the removal
of these places from the excepted class
they would. the commission holds,
cease to become political prizes, but
legitimate prizes to be won by ability in
the lower grades of the service.

ON THIS THEY STAND.
Platform Adopted by the G. o. p.
at Fargo.

FARGO, n. D., Aug. 23.-The platform
adopted by the Republican state con-
ventlon to-day is as follows:
Resolved That, as Republicans of North
Dakota in convention assembled, we reaffirm
the platform of principles Endorsed by the
national Republican convention of 1883.
and heartily indorse the administration OF
President Harrison.
We hail with pleasure the near approach
to statehood, and in this, our first conven-
ton, with that in view, we congratulate the
Republican party upon its thorough organ
ization. and the happy blending in its ranks
of our native and foreign-born citizens, of
whatever nationality or previous political
opinions, into one harmonious union with
the great national Republican party, party
which secures TO the emigrant his homestead,
his presumption or his tree claim, and well
comes him to q heritage such as no other gov
eminent can offer; party which stands for
American honor, power, progress and pros
perity: which demands ample remuneration
TO labor and full security to capital; which
advocates pure, true. popular government,
moral intellectual and material develop
ment and the comfort and sanctty of the
American home.
We fully and unreseIvedly recognize agrl-
culture as the paramount material interest
Of North Dakota; that there should not and
reasonably cannot be any antagonlsm be-
tween this and commercial, manufacturing,
mercantile or other interests, because all
tnese are lnSepdraDly luenllHeu hitI tue
great central agricultural interest, and de-
pendent upon its prosperity for their own
success We therefore declare it to be the
duty, as it should be the pleasure, of all men
placed in public position by the people of
North Dakota, to oppose every unjust en-
croachment of corporations or trusts upon
the rights or insterests Of the farmers, and to
30 administer the government in all Its
branches as will best conduce TO the welfare,
prosperity and advancement of our agricult-
nral people.
We are uncompromisingly in favor of the
American system of protection, by such prop
erly regulated import duties upon foreign
products as will stimulate every industry and
protect the wages OF our vast army eft labor
ers against the unfair competition of the
Eerfs of Russia, nyots of India, coolies OF
China and the pauper labor of other nations.
We honor that grand army of men who fol
lowed Grant, Sherman and Sheridan until
permanent and enduring peace was eStab.
lished by their victories and sacrifices, and
we are in favor of granting equitable
and liberal pensions to all honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors and we believe
that the flags should stay where they are.

a Dangerous Insane Man Escapes
From St. Peter.
Special to the GLOBE.
FERGUS FALLS, Aug. 29.-Word was
received here this morning by Probate
Judge Chapman that Robert Arola had
escaped from the insane hospital at st.
Peter. Arnla was tried in the district
court of Otter Tailcounty last Novem-
Der for shooting his father without any
provocation, and the verdict was "not
guilty by reason of insanity" He was
then committed to the insane hospital
by the probate court. There has been
doubt in the minds of many people
whether the verdict of the district court
jury was warranted Or not. though there
is no question that ArOla has but low
grade of intelligence. After shooting
his father he escaped to the woods and
was not captured for several days. He
is a Finlander and lived in the neigh
bOrhood of New York Mills in a Finn
settlement. 1t is expected that he will
try to make his way back to that local
ity. The Finlanders there generally
fear him, and the news of his escape
will bring terror to every person who
was in any way connected with his
arrest and Incarceration. He is GER
tainly dangerous man to be at large.

commended as postmaster. There has
been great delay in handling cases for
the establishment of new postoffices on
account of the failure of the public
printer to furnish proper blank forms
for the postoffice department.. The Re-
pubIicans. during the last congress, were
exceedingly diligent in their investiga-
lions of Public Printer Benedict. The
