II Returns to jamestown

He is Welcomed by a Large
Crowd of His Ad-
mirerS.
Some of His Wonderful Work
AS Member of the Sig
nal Corps.

"Big Kelly" a former member OF Com
pany H arrived in jamestown Monday
He left on the J. & N. train for
Darlington where he will visit his sister
Mrs. Eisenhuth, former state superln-
tendent of schools. Kelly was dressed
in plain citizens clothes and seemed
somewhat surprised at the big crowd OF
people who gathered at the depot to
give him a welcome. Company H, Jr.
was represented by the drum and fife
corps which was led by DIR. Nolan
Kelly gave all those assembled the glad
hand and was kept busy for some time
The crowd at the depot gave three
cheers and tiger for the lieutenant as
be stood on the platform.
He has many admirers in Jamestown
and bis deeds of valor when a member
Of the signal corps have been related in
every newspaper of prominence in Amer
lea. In spite Of the prominence which
be has been given on account OF bis
bravery Kelly returned to jamestown
the same unassuming soldier as when
he left with the other members OF the
company.
Lieutenant Kelly did not care to talk
of himself or his work in the Philippines.
He stated that the North Dakota reRl-
ment was one of the best on the island
and there was an absence in It's ranks OF
the petty chickering's which are so com
mon in some OF the regiments. He
spent week IN Chicago where he was
employed some years ago in the West
ern UnioD office. He says his health ie
good. He will remain at Carrlngton
until Company H arrives in jamestown.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Regarding the Return of tie
Troops and Funds for
Fare.

J. a. Murphy received letter from
Governors secretary Tuesday giving
additional details about the return OF
the state troops, most of which have
been published in the papers. The in
formation Is given that at the Fargo
meeting to make arrangements for the
payment OF the soldiers fare, it was de-
cided to return all the troops as state
troops and put the funds raised IN the
various districts into one fund for that
purpose. This agreement was reached
except jamestown, which had no repre-.
sentation at the meeting. The troops
leave San Francisco Sept 26th and it
was decided to give the boys the $50
each on their return home. This could
also allow more time to raise the money
throughout the state, Judge Pollock is
treasurer and the judges OF the seven
districts were asked to act as treasurer
in each district. Secretary Poole also
stated that, in the case Of any district,
like the 5th, which had two companies
one from jamestown and one from
Valley Olty-if there were 5000 or $500
lacking the state. committee would
make it up from the contributions o
districts which had no company.
If the above is the case the funds for
the return Of the jamestown company
are assured. The local committee which
has been collecting them report that
it will take about Sl,70O for the
purpose, that 81 400 are in hand raised
already and that 800 more ara in sight.
This will make $1,000. If no more Is
secured the funds from other DISTRICTS
can be drawn on to make the amount
goood. Valley City has raised enough
with the Barnes county appropriation
of $1,000 to return her company. James
town has raised in all 81, 800 outside Of
the $1,000 appropriated by the city and
county for the entertain Of the
boys on their arrival. THIS makes q
total Of $3.50 wclch the people of
jamestown and Stutsman county, and
various towns interested have contribut-
cd for the purpose. This compares very
favorsbly with Valley City which town
subscribed $500. The com missloners of
that county adding there to $1,000.
The local subscription committee say
they will get all the money necessary for
the return of the boys without calling
on the county commissioners fund OF
81 900 which was given for the special
purpose Of entertaining the boys.t

Important Test Case.

Grafton Record: A writ OF mandam-
US was served on the school board last
Saturday by Waldo BlodRett to compel
ssid board to allow his daughter. Ruth
to attend school. Gray & MoMurchie
represent Blodgett and jeff NJ. Meyers
the school board. The case will come
up before Judge Sauter at the earliest
possible moment. The difficulty grows
out of the order of the board of health
in regard to vaccination. The schot
board acting under the direction of the
boards of health, issued an order that no
child should be permitted to enter
school this fall without certificate of
successful vaccination. Mr.. Biodgett
not believing in vaccination in general
refused to have his daughter vacclnated,
and applied for her admission to the
schools. This was of course refused,
hence The case.
The board acted under a written opin-
ion from Attorney General Cowan, that
the board had no other conrse to follow
and that they we're liable to penalties
for neglect of.duty it they failed to en-
force the order OF the board of health.
The case will be followed with interest
not only here but throughout the state,
ss it is question that is sgitsting more
communities than one, but this We be-
lieve. will be the fret attempt to test
the question.

sent the national flag. Electric lights

APPROVED LEES ACTION
South Dakota Volunteers and
Others Approved Lees
Demand for Recall.

Private Homer A. Baker OF Melette,
8. D., member of the Sioux Falls COM
pany, First South Dakota, was in the
city Sunday and Monday He was dis.
Charged few days ago at San Francisco
where he had been in the hospital for
some time. He was wounded March 80
near Malolos by bullet which struck
him IN the leg half way between the
hip and the knee. The bone was shat
tered and his right leg which was
wounded, is now one and a one-half
inches shorter than the left. He is still
quite lame.
Baker stated to an Alert representa-
tive that be had had enough OF life as q
soldier and would be content to live in
South Dakota for while. He says the
North Dakota boys are we'll liked by all
the regiments. "The only regiment
"says Baker," that was disliked was the
First California. The other regiments
disliked them for many reasons. The
Thirteenth Minnesota is good regi'
ment and the men were popular as q
rule.
1--WE we're pretty we'll starved on the
trip over to Manila and for some time
after arriving there receiving only about
one-half the food we should have got. OF
course some one made something out Of
the deal. The peace commission is
only scheme to deceive the public.
"The men met IN Manila, had banquete,
balls and dinners and there was revelry
galore. The Filipipos were invited
to attend the social affairs and enjoy a
good time and the commission seemed
to enjoy it too. But they did little to
bring about peace.
"Governor Lee of South Dakota ex-
pressed the sentiments oi the volunteers
in the Philippines when be demanded
that the South Dakota regiment he re-
turped home as they had gone to Manila
to fight Spaninrds and not natives. 1t
was matter of wonder among the other
regiments that their governors did not
take the same stand in the matter"

HIS END SUDDEN.
Charles A. Ptllsoury, the Minneapolis
Millionaire Miller, Is Dead.


MINNEAPoL1s, Sept l9.-Charles AL
fred Pillsbury, one of the leading men
of the Northwest and conspicuous as
one Of the founders of the Touring mill
ing center in Minneapolis, died at his
residence in this city at 4:45 p. m.
Although Mr.. Pillsbury's health has
been known to be impaired for the past
year, the suddenness of his death was a
shock not only to his friends, but to the
imm ediate members of his family. So
sudden was it that relatives in other
portions of the house than the chambe
of the sick man did not reach the bed
side until life had ebbed away.
The illness which caused the death of
Mr.. Pillsbury dates back d year. He
was overworked, his physicians said.
and advised a trip across the Atlantic.
In Decent Der Mr.. Pillsbury left Mime
apolis, and for six months travelled
throughout Europe and spent some time
in Egypt. He returned benefited by
the trip, but fully aware that he was
suffering from heart disease.
MIR. Pillsbury's Career.
Charles Alfred Pillsbury was born at
Warner, Merrimac county, New Hamp-
shire, Oct. 3, 1912. At the age 2l he
graduated from Dartmouth college.
having diversified his collegiate studies
with teaching as a means of partial
self-support. He went to Montreal,
where for six years he was engaged in
mercantile pursuits, most of the time
as clerk. Sept. 12, 1866, he married
Miss Mary A. Stinson Of Goffstown, N.
H. Three years later he came to Min.
neapolis and soon afterwards bought an
interest in a flour mill at St. Anthony
Falls. Later Mr.. Pillsbury associated
with him his father, George A. Pills.
bury, and his uncle, John S. Pillsbury.
The firm continually added to its plant
and before selling out to an English
syndicate several years ago controlled
four immense mills, one, the Pillsbury
"a" having capacity of 1000 barrels

BRAKEMEN RELEASED
Brakemen Taylor and EriCk-
son Acquitted by the
COrOner'S Jury.
We're Suspected Of Being I'M
pliCated in the CaSSeltOn
Murder,
jenkins Could not Swear That
Erickson Was the Guilty
Man.

Monday morning Inspector Flanagan
OF Fargo arrested two N. P. brakemen
named Chas. Erickson and David 4.
Taylor on suspicion of their being i'm.
plicated in the robbing and throwing Of
Walter Howard from their train on
Friday night between Wheatland and
Casselton, Howard receiving injuries
from which he died Saturday night.
brakeman Taylor has been in the em-
ploy of the N. P. for some five or six
years and his home is in Msndan,
where his parents reside. Erickson has
only been working for the Northern
Pacific short time, beginning about
the time the West Superior excursion
was run from this city. BE has been
working for the most part on the west
end OF the division, between jamestown
and Bismarck, only making occasional
trips to Fargo when there is rush.
The men were taken to Oasselton on
the early morning train, where Coroner
Mitchell had empanelled a jury to in
vestigate the cause of the death of How
ard 1t is said that Jenkins positively
identified the man Erickson as the man
he paid the money to to ride on the
train, and Erickson even admitted to
taking the money both at Oasselton and
after coming to Fargo last night. It
is said also that Jenkins identified
Erickson as the man that did the rob-
bling.
The jury in their investigation found
nothing that would warrant them in
holding the man Erickson and released
them. They did not formulate their
verdict, taking an adjournment subject
to the call of the coroner. Claim Agent
Taylor of the Northern Pacific and the
two brakemen arrived IN Fargo on the
train from Casselton last night, and the
man Jenkins and the remains of his
father.in.law, Howard, we're on the
train, going through to West Superior.
Jenkins stated that be thought the YER
dict or rather the action of the coroner's
jury was the most peculiar and chilly
proposition he ever ran up against. He
stated positively to a Fargo Call re-
porter that he thought the brakeman
was the man that did the robblng, but
would not swear to it, for the reason
that Erickson had shaved, changed
suits of clothes and had sllcked up con-
alderablv. He feels that the coroner
jury fell short of dong their duty.
The railway boys all speak highly OF
Taylor, the rear brakeman, but don't
feel so positive about Erickson. They
say that Erickson is an Irishman and
that they do not believe his name to be
Erickson. He has never worked very
long for any company, and has travelled
a great deal Oh oil roads.

GOODS RECOVERED
DR.. X. w. Woodward Arrested
At New Rockford Charged
With Grand Larceny.
His Residence Searched and
Goods Belonging to w. E.
Greene Found.
A Great Bunch of Keys Dis
covered in WOOdWard'S
Office Desk.

DR.. X. W. Woodward was arrested at
4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at New
Rockford on charge OF grand larceny.
His arrest was ordered by Sheriff Sew
ern and the complaint alleging grand
larceny was filed by W. E. Greene. 1t
ls alleged that Woodward entered a
room in the Greene block and took
therefrom three upholstered chairs,
thirty pillows, one hundred specimens
of ore with the name of W. E. Greene
written thereon, a dress suit, stove
pipe hat, six blankets and other articles
making in all over 200 parcels.
Woodward's Office is IN the Greene
building second floor and suspicion fell
on the dentist abont the time of the fire
inSthe room:n the Greene block IN which
the articles, after found to have been
taken, we're stored. When Mr.. Greene
arrived few weeks ago lie discovered
that number of articles which could
not possibly have been burned we're
missing. He stated his belief to May or
Steel who acts as his agent and Night
Policeman Enoch Russell was called to
act IN the case.
DR.. Woodward has been IN New
Rockford for some days. Tuesday
Sheriff Severn and Officer Russell
searched the Wood ward residence W.
E. Greene and States Attorney Bald
win accompanied them. When they
entered the house Mr.. Greene ldentl.
tied three chairs as belonging to him.
In several rooms OF the place was found
something the property of Mr.. Greene,
among which was dress suit and stove
pipe nat.
There was also discovered articles Of
clothing and merchandise and half doz.
en- new felt sox sixteen cans Of paint,
Rubber brand-hsndled in jamestown

tion.
In Woodward's Office was found 8
bunch of keys which would easily fill a
cigar box. There we're store keys ga
lore and also keys which would open all
of Mr.. Greene's trunks and boxes stored
in the Greene block. A new toilet case
was found in his desk.
An attempt had been made to open
safe stored in the room belonging to Mr..
Greene. The attempt was unsucoess-
full and the indications are that the
same party who got the other articles
also attempted to open the safe. The
insurance companies have already paid
Mr.. Greene insurance on some of the
articles found in Woodward's house and
they will probably take hand IN the
affair also.
Merchant Chase identified the sixteen
cans of paint found IN the Woodward
residence as his property. The six pairs
of felt sox we're also identified as some
that were missing from the Columbia
clothing store. The sox we're stored in
the basement back Of Nolan & Hamm's
tonsorinl parlors.

AnnuIled the Marriage.

The marriage OF Miss Alma Brown,
daughter OF County Commissioner J G.
| Brown of Wheatland to Alfred Splan,
an n. P fireman which was solemulzed
| at jamestown on Septemb Der l. by Rev.
NJ. G. Miller was annulled yesterday by
Judge Pollock OF the district court.
Miss Brown and Mr.. Spsn are cousins.
She came to Fargo to learn the millinery
business, and Splan gained her consent
to 10 arrlage.
She returned home last Saturday and
told her father Of the marriage. Ngtur-
ally they we're all much surprised and
her father pointed out the fact that the
marriage could not be On account Of
their relationship. Splan had not told
the young lady Of this and in securing
the license had perjured himself to the
extent OF swearing that they were in no
way related. When the matter was thus
explained Miss Brown at once insisted
that steps be taken to snnull the mar
riage and to that end the matter was
brought up in the district court at Fargo
yesterday with the above result. The
course pursued by the young lady will be-
generally commended

Flax and Wheat in the Same Field

The experiment Of sowing flax and
wheat in the same field has turned out
we'll this year ia the Red river valley.
One farmer at Blanchard got Is bushels
OF wheat and II Of flax. The flax is
sowed the oppUslte way to wheat, about
10 days later. Both are threshed at the
same time and elevators charge l cent q
bushel for separating. The flax crop
alone is running II to 20 bushels in
that part Of the state.
In wet years the seeding OF the two
crops IN the same field gives the best
results, but the results are not always
alike: one year the returns OF the above
farmer was bushels fax and lS wheat.
