In the early days of North Dakota
Senator Jud La Moure and Alexander

most daring sherif In Bismarck, were
bitter personal and political enemies.
Whatever one wanted done was sure
to be opposed by the .ner and they

tremes for men as leyelhoaded as
they were In ordinary matters. Each
had host OF friends ana these were
arrayed In hostile camps political, so

become reconcilod. however. Some
time ago Mckenzie got into trouble
In Alaska. and narrowly escaped a
prison sentence for contempt OF
local Judge. from whose jurisdiction
the Bismaroklan removed n prisoner.
After a hard fight Mckenzie was re-
leased and returned east broken In
health. For months he has been ly.

Another royal sensation has shocked
the courts Of Europe. and more eapo-
clally that OF italy
II is nothing less ,han the astonish-
ing report that Dowagor Queen Mar
gnerlta. the widow Of the nssassinated
Humbort. has morganatically married
her chauffeur.
The engineer TO whom the queen
mother Is alleged to have been mar
rled IS named Tenerani He g. over
fifty years OF age and " employed as
caretakor OF the humorous charitable
institutions which are supported by
the queen
The courtship must have been swift
and secret for the news OF the mar
rlage has como quite AZ suddenly as
did the startling report OF the aasassi-
nation OF the king.
The marriage, Il Is said, took place
during the queens recent Journey to
Norway. and no successfully has tho
royal bride concealed her romance
that oven now the name OF the bride
groom Is not known, nor the exact
place where tho wedding took place.
What Is known Is that the queen
went TO Denmark on the goth Of last
September; that after n brief stay in
Copenhagen she went on visit TO
the King OF Norway and Sweden. and
that for some weeks prior TO her trip

TO the north Queen Marghorlta had
appeared to hor intimatea TO be
strangely excited and uneasy.
Il IL pretty accurately knS-G that
tho wedding took place outside tho
italian domain and while the queen
was on her way to Copenhagen. SO
that King Charles entertained q royal
bride unawares when he welcomed
Queen Margherita.
Il had been known that tho Dowa.
ger Queen was mystic and democratic,
but no one supposed that she would
develop a romantlcism In her middle
age. A daughter OF the royal house
oil Savoy and the widow OF king. Il
was at least supposed that II tho
mother queen married again sh0
would select partner from among
the princely families OF Europe. But
no one conceived the possibility OF
the mature widow marrying a ple-
boian.
The fact OF the marriage Is denied
at Rome. The report was originally
telegraphed from Bologna. In spite
OF denlals. the fullest credencs Is
given the story.
