THAT wILLsoN--wARDwEL1
CONTROVERSY.

Frank A. Wardwell, ex-president OF
the North Dakota Press Association and
editor of the PIONEER EXPRESS, IS at
present having a controversy with Frank
"A. Wilson, who controls the destinies
of the newspaper of many names pub
lished at Bathgate. The editor of the
Times has no interest in the controversy
as it is now ancient history. He has no
desire to mix IN the TRADE OF words that
will be flung back and forth during sue
ceeding weeks, but as custodian of Mr..
Wilson's correspondence on the subject
in question, at the special instance and
request of Mr.. Wilson, the editor of the
Times consents to print the following
letter of MIR. Wilson's, the only one
bearing upon the subject in our cores.

the letter was that called forth the reply
we cannot state as we did not preserve
proper copies of such correspondence
until the following year. Mr.. Wilson
assumed charge OF the Bathgate Demo.
crat sometime between the 1st and 7tf of
December, 1894. and his letter which
follows is the first one written on the
subject. The editor of the Times does
not remember of any further correspond
ence on the subject, but the lapse of time
dulls any memory and there may have
been other letters pass between Mr..
Wilson and the Times man. The letter
in full is as follows:
Bathgate, N. D., Dec. Z, 1894.
Col. Grant S. Hager,
st. Thomas, N. D.,
Dear Sir and Friend:-
1t is always pleasure to hear from
you Grant, and doubly SO when your
letter contains such kind words of en-
couragement. do not feel at all sure
that l can build up the Democrat. 1t is
quite run down in every respect. Still
l must give it whirl anyway. 1t is
really hard times and do not feel like
imposing upon our people too much,
SsAA give llOlAI " ullO6ISIdIlQ tIldC II
they would have paper they must pay
for it.
l note what you say about combine
for illegal purposes" AS yet have not
had time to look over rules and bylaws
mentioned but on general principles
am opposed to combines. My idea is
quite the contrary of yours. There are
too many papess in the county, more
than can exist unless they are bottle fed.
Let it be then survival of the fittest,
and the survivors can then go on basis
that will enable them to get out good
papers. No, Grant, l will not join the
combine, and am sure you are working
against your best interests in aiding it.
l would like ever so much to please you
and would try to comply with your re-
quest but that am so fully convinced
that it would be against the best interests
of the publishers of Pembina county.
Wishing you good luck, remain,
Yours respectfully,
FRANK A. WILSON.

Just now, wren our ambassador con-
suls and other American citizens are in
danger of massacre in China, is there one
man of any party who is not glad that
we have navy and an army, and glad
that some oft, by fortune of war, is
handy to Chinese ports? But if we had
given the Philippines back to Spain at
the close of that war we would have had
few ships and fewer men over there.

THE POWERS TRIAL.
Finley Anderson Testifies That Pris-
omer Said He would XIII GOebeI.

Georgetown, Ky, July 1S.-Not since
the opening of the trial of Caleb Powers
has there been a day so full of sensations
and dramatic incidents as yesterdays
sitting of the court brought FORTH The
two incidents that stand out with the
greatest prominence are the testimony
of Finley Anderson, the Western Union
telegrapher of Barboursville, and the ex-
animation upon the witness stand of Miss
Lucy Brock of London, KY, the suppos-
ed sweetheart of Powers.
Anderson spoke of a conference among
Republican leaders at the hotel of his
father on the night of Jan. 3 and related
conversation between Caleb Powers
and himself, which contained the most
startling statement as yet testified To.
"lle told me" the witness said, that
he wanted a body of a thousand noun
tain men to 20 to Frankfort in order to
intimidate the legislature and. if neces-
Sary, to kill off enough Democratic lead
ers to give the Republicans majority.
lie had another conversation with me at
the telegraph office on the night of Jan.
-, when he said: 'Goebel will never live
to be governor. If we cannot get some
one else to do it, | will kill him myself. !"
Anderson testified to other facts of
minor Importance which went to prove
that Powers took an active part in having
the mountain army 20 to Frankfort.
Following Anderson Miss Lucy Brock
took the stand. She was questioned as
to Il conversation between herself and
Caleb Powers which occurred at her
home in London the day before the noun
tain men went to Frankfort. She said:
IF | remember correctly, Mr.. Powers
said that it was Governor Taylor's idea
that the men be brought to Frankfort
but Mr.. Powers himself said that if
Democrats did not quit robbing the Re
publicans he was in favor of an open
declaration of war;"
This closed the testimony of Miss
Brock and the morning session of the
court as well.
Senator Newton Frazer testified that
the shot could not have. come from the
steps of the executive building, as he
was facing the steps at the time, not 30
feet away, and they We're unoccuped,
Other witnesses were Captain f. j.
Hahn and James X. Watkins of Bar
louisville and Williamsburg who stated
that Powers wanted their companies to
join the band of mountain men, and they
had refused to allow it.
