CUTTING AFFRAY At RATION.
Two Companions Quarrel Over a ladys Picture
Sisters Honor.

A quarrel which came very near, and
in fact may yet result fatally, occurred
the other night in Ration, between
Arthur Green and Ed. Reed, who had
been up to that time very good friends
The young men had been out riding
together and returned to the village
about six o'clock. When about to sepa-
rate young Reed noticed photo button
of his sister which his companion was
wearing, and demanded its return. To
this Green strenuouly objected, and the
argument soon led to blows, Reed strik-
ing Green crashing blow in the face.
The latter Immediately drew a pocket
knife and slashed young Reed across
the forehead and again across the
throat through the coat collar.
A crowd soon gathered but Green es-
capped while they were looking after
the injured party. The doctors think
Reed will recover. Both boys are 1s

PRESIDENT SAME AS CITIZEN.
Washington, Feb. S.-Representativt
Lehman, Texas, Democratic member OF
the house judiciary committee, today
presented the minority report on the
bill for the protection of the president
against assault and conspiracy. While
agreeing with the idea that the United
States should not be made an asylum
for anarchists and those who oppose
organized government, yet he dissent
ed from giving the president protection
not accorded to other citizens. He
holds that the states should deal with
the subject, and this federal law
probably would magnify the import
ance of assassination in the distem-
pered fancy of those seeking to destroy
rulers.
STATEHOOD FOR NEW MEXICO.
Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, Feb. S.--The third hear
ing upon the bill for an enabling act
for New Mexico was had before the
house committee on territories this
forenoon. Delegate Rodey made a
speech for an hour and half. 1t was
a compendium Of facts and statistics,
absolutely unassailable and convincing.
Numerous questions were put to him
by members of the com nittee and We're
all answered satisfactorily. Every
member of the committee present is
friend to New Mexico and statehood
for the territory.
In the house on yesterday Delegate
Rodey made speech, joining DELEGATE
Flynn of Oklahoma, and Delegate
Smith of Arizona, in fighting for an
increase of salary for the chief justice
of the supreme. court to $500 and The
associate justices of the territorial su-
preme court to $4,000, and the govern
or's salary to $1,000 per annum. Repre-
sentative Gaines Of Tennessee, opposed |
the amendments put by the three dele
gates to increase the salaries OF the |
governor and justices of the supreme |
court. Delegate Rodey answered that
eff congress will admit New Mexico as,
state, the United States will be re-
lieved of the expense of paying the
salaries of the governor and Justices"

Z JAMESTOWN,t .yD.-Sheriff Eddy and
a posse have been hunting in the woods
along the James river north of Jamestown
since Thanksgiving Day for an unknown
man who is believed to be made or GRIM
was In Jamestown Thursday and informed
comrades that officers were looking for
him. He disappeared during the night
and news came Friday that he had ap-
piled for food at a farm residence north
of the city. Officers were sent in pursuit
but he had left the farm house two hours
before. The woods along the James river
near by Weressearched and an occasional
glimpse Of the man was obtained but he
escaped capture and is still at large.
Judge Pearson decided in the case Of
John Mooney VS.. Oliver H. Bennett that a
man cannot give away his grain and then
recover pay for 1t. Mooney looked over
his crop in July, 1901, and decided that
he would let his tenant, Bennett, have his
share, as there did not seem likely to be
much grain. Later the grain took a fresh
start and there was a fair. crop. In July,
1902, Mr.. Mooney made demand on Ben
nett for the value of his share and on
being refused payment started suit.
Arrangements are being made for the
Elks memorial service to be held in
Jamestown next Sunday. The Fargo and
/ Jamestown lodges will participate and a
large attendance is expected.

WAGES TOO LOW
President seerley's Explanation Of the
Scarcity OF Teachers.

President seerley's Explanation: Of the
Scarcity OF Teachers.
DIES MONIES, IOWA.-President Seer
ley of the state normal school at Cedar
Falls, in an interview, attributes the
scarcity Of teachers in the. public schools
to the low wages paid. He declares the
chief cause is an economic one, the sal
aries. commonly paid being, hardly suf-
ficient to insure a respectable living. If
the teachers were paid what they were
worth, he asserts, there would be no
trouble to fill the vacancies. If he were
called on to advise a young woman what
to do in order to earn a livelihood, Presi-
dent Seerley says he would be compelled
to tell her to become stenograhpher and
learn to handle the clerical business of an
office, as a knowledge Of these things
would pay her better than the ability to
teach. -: -
