I'm ELECTION ROW.
II Claim That Ballots Were
Not Properly Counted at
Burtrum.

A Swanville special says: In Feb
ruary last the village OF Hanson
voted to incorporate under the name
OF Burtrum. The vote was a close
one and considerable bad feeling
was created, and frequent law suits
and some fistic encounters have re-
suited.
July q a special election was held
for the purpose Of electing two
Justices Of the peace and a consta BILE.
Edward B. Hawly, as president, w.
II. Barrows, as trustee, and S. S.
Sibley. clerk, were Judges of election.
Affidavit is now made that the
Judges abstracted seven ballots from
the ballot box, or wilfully neglected
to count them, thereby defeating the
will of the electors and counting in
Their own men. Saturday night
Richard j. Bard, one OF the defeated
candidates for justice. and two
prominent citizens, went before j. F..
Locke, of Pillsbury. made the affida-
yit aforesaid and demanded the ar
rest OF Messrs. Hawley, BarrO WIS and
Sibley.. Bard claims to be able to
produce II men who will swear that
they voted for him, and the total
vote was but %, as officially de-
clard. The case will probably come
on for a hearing Monday afternoon
or Tuesday morning, and the con-
test promises to bea protracted one.
Messrs. Hawley and Barrows are
prominent citizens of excellent repu-
tation, and Mr.. Sibley is an old JUS
tice of the peace.
The general sentiment outside the
village is favorable to the accused.
Mr.. Sibley was formerly a resident
OF Little Falls, and always bore a
good reputation.

Canadian Hops Coming.

Canada is not generally given the
credit of being able to grow hops, and
most people would say that the climate
was unsuitable for it. Some consign-
ments, however, Of hops from british
Columbia were sent over to London last
autumn and sold we'll Ontario is now
entering the field, one grower having
planted 35 acres this year and propos-
ing to prepare. 20 acres more for next
year: In about three years he states
that he will have 100 acres under hops
The lower tariff placed upon hops by
our anti American administration
should serve as an incentive to the Can
adian hopgrowers, who may be able
to secure part Of our American trade
in our American market.

Farmers know that sheep in this
country increase largely in numbers
They look forward to the lambing sea-
son because it adds to their focks, and
every little lamb that lives is worth
few dollars to the farmer. But there
must have been something the matter
with the sheep between 1892 and 1894.
In the good old Mckinley protection
days there were "A, 938, 365 sheep in the
United States, yet two years later there
were only 81, 430 more sheep. This is
very small percentage of lambing. For
the year 1898 the lambing season must
have been very bad, or some plague
must have struck the sheep Perhaps it
was the free trade plague of Grover
Cleveland. That struck every other part
Of the country and blasted business
Perhaps it struck the farmers sheep
and made them barren.
The American wool clip for 1898
amounted to 301, 53S, 1873 pounds of
washed and unwashed wool Its price
ranged from IS to 80 cents pound,
and the total clip was worth $68, 391,-
055. A year later, however, the aver
age price Of wool ranged only from 10
up to % cents per pound, there being
loss Of from to cents per pound. The
total clip at the beginning Of this year
was worth only $40. 81, 400, a loss to
the farmers of 1913, 073, 500.
But this does not cover the entire
wool loss-frst, because the nearer we
have been getting to the time when free
trade in wool is to take effect the lower
has been the price of the American wool
quoted, and farmers are not able to OBJ
tain today nearly as much money for
their wool as they could six months
ago. This further loss of money to the
farmers we are not able as yet to arrive
at, but we have shown that there are
$50, $50 different sheep owners in the
United States, each one Of whom lost
$50. 88 through the lower value in price
Of his live sheep since a Democratic
president and a Democratic congress
controlled the administration of the
country. And we further find that each
one Of these $50, $50 farmers lost $27.-
~ through the decrease in one year in
the price Of their wool, thus making a
total loss to every sheep raiser in the
country Of $58. IS. What fine Democra-
cy this is, and how it TALES with the
promises of 1892!
That loss in the value Of sheep we
have shown to the farmer was worse
than the scab. This loss in the value Of
wool comes on the top of the free trade
scab like dose of foot rot. In fact, the
present condition of the American sheep
is worse than If it We're afflicted either
with the scab or foot rot or with both.
It will take longer to efface the Demo-
cratic disease than it would to eradicate
all trace Of either scab or foot rot or
both. Vote it down.

Both the Live Stock and the Wool Have De-
creased In value-Every Section, Of the

The sheep farmers Of the United
States have lost over 500, 600, 600
through the decrease in the value of
their sheep and of their wool through
the mere threat of free trade. A careful
comparison of the number Of sheep in
the ~ different states and territories
shows that there was an increase Of less
than 1000, 900 sheep between Janu-
airy, 1892 and 1894, a period of two
years Such wretched lambing seasons
the country has never before witnessed
The total loss in the value of the sheep
was nearly $50, 900, 900, and the loss
through the cheapness of wool was near
~ $40, 900, 900, distributed among the
different sections of the country as fol-

PLOT TO ROB A TRAIN.
shooting ARRAY Believed to Have
Baked WOuId-Be Thieves.
Dy Associated Press.

(By Associated Press)
ST CLOUD. Mimi. May 25.-It seems
that the shooting and arrest of two men
by Chief OF Police McKeKery interfered
with big express robbery plot. 1t Is
thought that the wounded man, who gave
his name as William Henderson, and
who is now at the hospital knows all
about the dead man and was implicated
In the highway robbery just before the
shooting. He admits that Henderson Is
not his right name and says he will tell
all he knows later on.
While probing for the bullet last night
the physician put him under Ch.oroform.
and during the time he was under the
influence of the anesthetic he talked
about n $4,000 express robbery which
had been Planned upon the Northern Pa
cific at St. Paul.
Clifton. who was killed. is supposed to
be the same man with whom Conductor
Eastman. of the Wilmar train. had an
encounter at Big Lake station some days
ago. Eastman and some Of the passen-
gers were of the opinion that he was a
train robber. The conductor held him
at bay with revolvers while his train
pulled out. and kept him from getting
on. Henderson's condition Is very critical.
