BOEN IN THE SADDLE.
Big Convention of the Otter Tail
Peoples Party.

Il
Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, June 1e.-
From the standpoint of the Office seek
ers, the most important county cOnven-
tion of the summer was held today, for
there is scarcely doubt-that the Peo-
pies party will elect nearly its full
ticket in Otter Tail county this fall.
That Ii. E. Boen, leader of that party
in this neighborhood, is still on top is
shown by the fact that this convention
had the largest number of delegates
that has attended any political cOnven
ton in this county for many years past.
Nearly all were farmers and Scandl-
navians, but they were wise enough to
select a ll-balanced, strong ticket.
The chief interest centered in the dele
cation to the congressional convention
at MOorehead. Mr.. Boen'S strength was
again shown in the fact that he heads
the delegation and the other delegates
are all his warm personal friends. This
means that the Otter Tail county Peo-
pies party is practically unanimous for
him for congress and puts him far
in the lead for securing the nomination
at Moorhead. III. l.. Burgess, Donnelly's
right bower here, presided over the
NOuHSutlOIlf nhu hO"to Inv uSiS5aeiO "
the Peoples party state convention, all
all of whom are friendly to the Sage.
The present representatives were re-
nominated. thus: s. III. Ongstad, II. P.
BiOrge, A. o. Richardson. Thomas Cole.
The county ticket is made up as follows:
Auditor. Frank Pfefferle; register of
deeds. Fred Field; treasurer, Hans Mel
son; clerk of court. &. F. Hanson; judge
of probate, d. Burbank; sheriff, Jack
Billings; county attorney. NJ. j. Daily,
of Perham; superintendent of schools,
Caroline Nygren; coroner. DR.. Duncan;
county commissioners, Dan German,
: Knud Petersen, Lars Halden; surveyor.
Martin Aalberg. Nearly all the above
are denominations. John B. Hompe
and Charles Barndborg former leaders
leaders of the alliance party were con-
spicously absent from the convention.

starry banner, and as every stripe on our

star shall pale. no stripe shall fade on that
flag of freedom, while yet a single member
OF our order remains to defend it with his

The company had rumpus with Fred
Pratt, the house mover, earlier in the
day, and the police were called
in to help out the COM
pany's cause. Pratt started to
move house across the track,
which is against the latter
day policy of the company to allow with
out the payment of a tribute of SO to
pay for the trouble of lowering the
trolley wires. Pratt refused to pay the
assessment and went ahead with his
work. A number of street car employees
charged on him, but he drove them off
with hatchet. He was going to move
the house across last night, but found a
squad of police guarding the spot. He
threatens to carry the matter into the

tee. which was in secret session
here yesterday, adjourned to Valley
City, where a conference will be
held with the Farmers Alliance COIL

view of fixing the terms of fusion. The
