An Old Settler Gone.

On Saturday of last week James Mil
ler, living northeast of Willow City,
died of typhoid fever. Mr.. Miller was
we'll and favorably known through the
whole county and it is a severe shock
to the whole community to have to re-
cord his death. He came to this coun-
ty in the spring of 'S3 from Illinois
and has been a resident of this county
ever since. He was prominently con-
nected with the republicans, in whose
principles he was firm believer, and
was candidate for the Office Of coun'
ty treasurer in the campaign of 1900.
He leaves a wife and five children,
four girls and one boy to mourn his
loss He was member of the Free
Mason and Woodman lodges of Willow
City and the funeral services were con-
Quoted by those bodies. The funeral
was held from the home of the de-
ceased and the remains were inferred
in the Lincoln cemetry east Of One
NEE. The funeral was one of the larg
est ever seen in the county. There were
rs rigs present, showing the high
esteem in which the deceased was held
The sorrowing friends have the sym
pathy of the entire community in their
bereavement Mr.. Miller carried
81, 600 life insurance in the Woodman
lodge and $40 in the New York
Life. &

A Thresher Killed.

On Monday afternoon while David
Hurst was on his way to Bottineaus
with his threshing machine to have q
blower put on the separator, they att
tempted to climb small hill about
seven miles west of Dunseith on the
farm Of Mr.. Gilbert. The engine re7S
fused to pull the load up the hill and
Hurst, who was not a good engineer,
relinquished his place to his separator
man, Victor Gatin, who made another
attempt to force the engine up the hill
but it stopped on eccentric. Hurst.
stepped up to turn the wheel but
Gatin said he would reverse the en-
gine and he did so. The governor belt,
was off and when the engine was re-
versed it shot back without giving any.
one time to get out of the way. Gatin
was caught between the engine and the
separator, crushing him in terrible
shape. His right leg was broken l IN q
four places and his chest was crushed
in killing him almost instantly. The
separator was turned over and the en-
gine went over backwards on the top
of it. The crew took the unfortunate
man to Dunseith without waiting to
do anything with the engine so that
the fire burned out the tiues leaving the
outfit complete wreck for this year..
Mr. Gatin was we'll known in Bottin7s
eau, having worked for c. w. Beyers
in the wagon shop and for Tom Erwin
on his farm for couple of years. He
leaves a wife and two children to
mourn his terrible death. This is but
another example Of the attempts OF
men to fill positions that they are not
qualified for. If there had been first
class engineer in charge of the engine
this accident might never have hap
pened. We understand that Mr.. Hurst
the owner of the rig had very narrow
escape with his life. He was standing
at the side Of the engine at the time it
started and had to push himself out OF
the way, not having time to step back.

TRENCH OFFICIALS UNEASY.
Action Of Turkey in Employing Alba
mans and Militia.

Paris, Sept. 3.-The officials of the
French foreign office express consiu-
erabie uneasiness at the action of the
Turkish government in sending Alba
nian troops and militia to the vilayet
Of Koshovo. The Albanians are no.
toriously fanatical and the militia are
certainly irritated at beng summoned
to service at the harvest season and
are likely to prove little better.
The fact is that while the powers
are insisting that only regular troops
be employed in suppressing the insur-
rection Turkey is making every effort
to eyade the spirit of the understand
ing while following it to the. letter,
and is therefore using troops which are
in reality little, better than Bashi-Ba,
zo1ks. 1t is feared this will result in
soutrages first against the Bulgarians
and subsequently against the Chris
tianS.

MAN BELIEVED TO BE DEMENTE0
pERs,s7ENTLY DEMANDS TO
SEE THE PRESIDENT.
ARRESTED BY SECRET SERVICE AGENT
CRANK FULLY IDENTIFIED AMI
HELD FOR EXAMINATION
BY LUNACY BOARD.

Oyster Bay, L. l.. Sept. "a man
giving his name as Henry Weilbrenne
was arrested at Sycamore Hill Will?
making a persistent demand to se2
President Roosevelt. The man was
armed with a revolver, fully loaded
He was taken to the village and placed
in the town prison.
Shortly after 10 p. n. Weilbrenner
drove to Sycamore Hill in phaeton
buggy. He was stopped by the secret
service operative on duty Wellbren'
ner said he had personal engagement
with the president and desired to see
him. AS it was long after the hours
when visitors are received the officer
declined to permit him to go to the
house. The man insisted but the Off
Ger turned him away.
Soon after Weilbrenner returned
and again insisted that he be allowed
to see the president if only for a min
ute. This time he was ordered away
and told not to return.
Just before II o'clock the man re-
turned third time and demanded of
the officer that he be permitted to see
the president at once. The officers
kOSpO1lSS was W IohO CnO AAoA AAOA
his buggy and put him in the stables,
where he was placed under the guard
of two stablemen. A revolver was
found in the buggy. Later Weilbren-
ner was brought to the village and
locked up.
Weilbrenner several years ago had
a nervous attack which rendered him
mentally helpless for a day or two, but
his family supposed that he had been
quite restored by the medical treat
ment he received at that time. Since
then he had manifested no symptoms
of mental ALTERATION. He had no So
cialistic or anarchistic tendencies so
far as known, never having been inter-
ested in any questions of that kind.
He was employed daily on his fathers
farm.
Weilbrenner was arraigned during
the day before Justice Franklin on
complaint of the secret service oper-
atiye who placed him under arrest.
bHsJ Justice Franklin questioned the pris-
oner about his movements the pre-
| vious evening. His replies were made
i in quiet tone of voice, but they indi-
Gated apparently beyond a doubt that
the man is crazy.
Justice Franklin, after the examina-
tion, concluded he would hold We'll
brenner until an inquiry of lunacy
could be held upon him.

tectivcs, says a Seattle (Wash.) dis
patch. Haynie has confessed to three
highway robberies, none Of which was
very profita bic. but the police believe
that he and his wife have been working
together, the latter in mans attire.
In such guise she might answer the
description Of proverbial short man

operating here lately. Haynie admits
taking his wife with him on several
excursions, but denies that she took
part in the holdups. Mrs. Haynie is q
pretty woman and we'll known in Ore

Haynie was brought up at Forest
Grove and attended Pacific university
at that place the hast two years as a
medical student. He was married last
March to Miss Grace Walton, a young

Not Guilty.

This was the verdict of Justice Kirk
in. the case of the state VS.. John Hell
gerson who was arrested on the
charge of keeping and maintaining a
common nuisance. The case was
brought before Kirk on a change of
venue from Souris where the defend
ant was arrested. There were many
witnesses called but they all swore to
the same thing, that they had never got
anything from Mr.. Helgerson but soft
drinks, such as pop, ginger ale and
moose. The outcome of the case gave
general satisfaction to all concerned.

DEPENDS UPON CONDITIONS.
Disposition of American Warships in
Turkish Waters.

Washington. Sept. 3.-The admins
tration has come to no decision re-
garding the disposition to be made Of
the American warships which are now
sailing to Beirut. Whether the Brook
lyn and San Francisco remain in
Turkish waters will depend entirely
upon the report which Minister Leish-
man makes concerning the situation
in Turkey and the necessity which ex-
lists for warships to protect American
interests. 1t is expected that the re-
port of Minister Leishman will receive
the consideration of the president be-
fore any determination is reached. It
is understood that Minister Leishman's
complete report will reach Washington
about the time of the arrival Of the
squadron in Turkish waters.
