"BAUTA" STONE FOR BJoRNsON
Unique Celebration on May. II a,
Fargo-lmmense Gathering of
Norsemen Counted Upon.

FARGO, N. D., April 27.-This city
will be the scene of one of the most
elaborate Seventeenth of May cele-
brations ever held outside of Norway
and an immense gathering of Morse
men from North Dakota and Mime
rates have been granted and as there
will be many unusual features to the
celebration, public interest is increas-
ing daily. The chief event will nat
urally be the Bjornson ''bauta" stone
the gift of Erik GUIDE, the Norwegian
sculptor, who also designed the monu-
ment. 1t is a rough monolith of Nor
wegian granite with the portrait OF
the famous patriot and poet in b me-
dallion on one side, and the last verse
Of his stirring national hymn, ia, VI
Elsker Dette Landet," on the other.
The "bauta" will be raised on the
grounds of the North Dakota Agricul-
tural college and the unwilling will be
preceded by a parade of civic socie-
ties and visitors. Exercises will be con-
Quoted at Island Park, and among the
speakers advertised are Senator Nc
Cumber, Congressman Halvor Steiner
son of Minnesota and Governor La
Toilette of Wisconsin. Governor Var
SAINT is also expected to attend.
Most interesting of all, however
will be a revival of an old-fashioned
Norwegian wedding, including the
wedding procession, the ceremony
merry-making, in which the old Morse
dances and games will prevail. All
the participants will be attired in pic
turesque national costumes, and as an
inducement for a good display the
committee on arrangements has de-
cided to admit free all those appear
ing in peasant costume.
The bridal pair will be attired in
costumes obtained in Norway by DR.
Herman Fjelde, and the bride, with
her big gold crown and heavily be-
spangled scarlet gown, will be one OF
the most picturesquely attired brides
ever seen in the United States. The
Rev. A. o. Fonkalsrud will conduct
the marriage service. This will take
place on May Is. The merry-makine
will be resumed on the 18th and con-
tinued into the 18th.

place. The same range, which is gov
eminent land, was used last year, and
it is said that the owner was warned
to leave and stay away. AS the sea-
was employed. But this years rang
ing season had hardly opened when
the ground was occupied and the herd
attacked.
The Clark herd was fired into on a
range lying within few miles c: the
town of Mount Vernon. What action,
if any, the owners will take to appre-
bend the persons who committed the
act has not been learned. Last sea-
son the policy Of the owners was to lie
low, and say nothing, \but those who
suffer loss speak more freely now.
Mr.. Mcdonald, whose camps were
burned about month ago, declares
that the act was not committed by the
cattlemen. One of the cattlemen went
so far as to say that the fire was
caused by rats dragging matches
around, and that the cattlemen were
going to sue out an injunction against
rats carrying matches.
Another veteran stockman, whose
words command respect and atten-
ton, stated that the most of the trou-
BILE was caused by evil-minded and
low. down persons who owned neither
sheep, cattle nor horses. And all
agree in saying that the remedy for
the trespass on property and the de-
struction of stock can be found only
in close and responsible organization
on both sides, each association assum-
'ng responsibility for the lawful and
just recognition Of mutual rights.

BALLET MAY GET CONTROL.
Ownership of the Baker City Herald
Food for Litiga-
ton.

BAKER CITY, Or, April 27-The
Baker City Herald, which was pur-
chased by Letson Ballet three years
ago, is very likely to be the subject
of interesting litigation to determine
who is the rightful owner.
About two months ago the Herald,
or portion of the plant, was sold at
sheriff's sale to satisfy a judgment OBJ
tanned by the Blake McFall Paper
company, of Portland, for $4,000, of
which $4,000 was an assigned claim
of Colonel Emmett Callahan, of this
city, for legal services rendered Ballet
and the White Swan company. The
judgment was obtained against the
White Swan Mines company, limited,
and the property was sold as the prop
erty of the mining company. Only a
portion of the plant was included in
the attachment. The subscription list,
accounts and good will were not
named in the attachment.
Now comes Ballet, who for the sum
Of 81 in hand paid conveys all right
title and interest in the Herald, in
Guiding the subscription list, accounts
and good will, together with the prop
erty sold by the sheriff, to the White
Swan Mines company, limited.
This transfer has been made a mat
ter of record and if the facts are as
stated in the deed of transfer from
Ballet, the White Swan Mines COM
pany, limited, never owned the paper
and the suit of the Blake-McFall COM
pany was against the wrong party.
No one is absolutely sure that Bal
liet is down and out. There is a strong
suspicion that he will loom up before
long as the chief man in the White
Swan company and the Herald. It is
claimed that he has been thrown out
of the While Swan company, but there
is no positive evidence to that effect
new manager, in the persons of c..
H. Stuller, of this city, has been ap-
pointed, but there is no evidence to in
dictate that Stuller was appointed by
those in control, who are hostile to
Ballet.
There is reason to believe that the
people now in control of the Herald
are antagonistic to Ballet and that
they Joined forces to GUST him from
the paper. The Herald is now in pos
session of G.. w. Hill and associates,
who obtained control as the result of
the sheriff's sale. Hill was formerly
the manager under Ballet.

MINISTER TURNS GAMBLER.
Played the Games for Two Weeks and
Is Now Going to California With
Pockets Lined With Money.

BUTTE, Mont, April &c. E..
Henderson, a Methodist minister 60
years old, who lost his pulpit in Salt
Lake City year ago on account of
his age, came to Butte with his wife
and two children. Since then heo has
been unable to get call as a paAtor
and has eked out only a Aeanty living
for himself and family.
Today he was at the city employ
ment agency, where he had for a year
been a daily caller, and announced
that he is going to Los Angeles. He
had prosperous appearance and said
he had suffered from want long
enough. He had turned gambler and
fortune had smiled upon him. He said:
Every day for two weeks I have
played and continued in luck. Today 1
have $500 in my pocket and we are
going to California to start life all
over again."

MAN WHO HANDED GUN TO
READY FACES SERIOUS
CHARGES.
James Dunn Suffers Fearful Pain.
and May Die at Any
Moment.

CORVALLIS. Or, April 27.-The ex-
c1tement over the triple shooting
which filled the streets with citizens
yesterday and caused the assembling
crowds of men on every street corner
all day long, has died away to a con-
siderable extent and the pulse of the
otherwise quiet city has returned tc
its normal condition. The tragic at
fair has been discussed on all sides
and it is the universal expression that
the death of young Ready was the in
evitable ending Of such a career.
Turner, who furnished the revolver
that did the shooting, and whom those
present during the scenes that led ur
to the tragedy say encouraged Ready
in his murderous work, has been
charged as an accessory and bound
over to answer at the fall term OF
court. 1t is not believed that Ready
would have resorted to firearms UNI
less encouraged by some one else. as
he had acquired quite a reputation
as fighter, and was inclined to settle
all difficulties with his fists.
Half crazed though, as he was with
whisky and rage. it only needed the
offer of gun and the suggestion to
use it that started him on the path
that led to the fatal ending he SO
quickly reached. Turner is confined in
the county Jail and refuses to make
any statement whatever in regard to
his participation in the affair.
Nightwatchman Osburn is resting
easily and every indication is favor
able for his recovery. If blood poison
ing or other complications do not arise
it will not be long till he is on his feet
again. He has the sympathy Of the
entire community, and every one real
ICES that he did everything in his
power to Illustrate the designs OF
Ready, even risking his own life in
trying to accomplish this without re-
sorting to firearms.
Dunn, the other victim. of the ARRAY
has not one chance in hundred to re-
cover.
A further examination of young
Keady's body revealed the presence
Of third bullet would in addition to
the one through the head and the one
through the heart. The last showed
that a bullet lodged in the stomach
and was evidently from one Of the
shots fired by Dunn after both he and
Ready were down.

Seattle Policeman Arrests His Own
Son for Housebreak-
,uTY STRONGER THAN HIS LOVE

SEATTLE, Wash, April 27.-Seat-
W. c. Cameron. The police officer ar
rested his own son on the charge of
burglary With tears streaming down
his face, the grief-stricken father
marched his son to the police station,
and allowed him to be locked up with
other criminals. Later on Cameron
took his son from the cell and led him
before Chief of Police Delaney.
Here's my son, chief. He has con-
fessed to me that he is burglar. Do
with him what you like And with
that the father broke down completely
II have done all I can for Otto, but
he has started on a road that has led
to his shame and my disgrace. I can

were fresh tracks in the mud. The
officer followed these tracks, and they
led to his own home. The boy was in
the house as the father entered. Cam
eron accused his son of the theft. The
boy broke down and confessed all, ad-
hitting at the same time that he had
robbed other stores.
Young Cameron implicated 15-year-
old Hugh Walker. The Walker boy
was arrested, and the police officer
took both boys to the police station.
Because of his age the boy cannot
be sent to prison. However, an effort
is to be made to confine him in the re-
form school for boys until he is Fl
years Of age.
There is perhaps not another case
of the kind on record in the north
west.

CLARK A VERY SICK MAN.
May Not Live to Return to Butte
His Wealth. Estimated at From
100000 to $200, 100000.

BUTTE, Mont, April 27.-While his
relatives and close business associates
here will not talk for publication, it
is the concensus that Senator w. A.
Clark is a very sick man and doubt is
expressed about his ever returning to
the town where he laid the foundation
for his vast fortune and which he calls
his home.
1t is said the senator is getting his
affairs in shape for the end. He re-
Gently formed a company that is to
manage all of his real estate holdings
exclusive of his mines and it is ex-
pected that a similar company will
be formed to take over all his mines.
Besides his heavy investments in
mining, sugar plantations and rail-
roads, Senator Clark also owns four
daily newspapers, the Butte Miner, the
Helena Independent, the Great Falls
Tribune and the Salt Lake Herald.
The Senator's Wealth.
How much is Senator Clark worth ?
This question is frequently asked.
Probably the senator himself would
be unable to answer the question with
any degree of certainty. He is rated
all the way from $4,000, 900 to $780,
100000. Probably 100000, 900 is nearer
the mark.
There is much speculation as to how
the senator will leave his great for
tune, whether he will bequeath it d.
rectly to his four children and other
relatives, or leave it in the hands of
a trust company. His direct heirs
would be his two sons, c. w. Clark
and W. A. Clark Jr, and his two
daughters, Mrs. Culver and Mrs. Nor

ANYBODY MAY BE A PLUMBER
JUDGE George Declares the Oregon
Incense Law IL In.
valid.


PORTLAND. Or, April 27.-Ore-
CONS plumbers license law received
daethblow when Judge George, of the
state circuit court. decided that Sheriff
Storey could not legally hold H. Claus
senius, Jr., under the terms of the act
which was passed by the legislature
of 1903.
In making the decision Judge George
severely scored the law and pointed
out many defects in it's construction.
After careful review of its merits
and demerits, he announced that the
writ Of habeas corpus issued last week
would be sustained, and that Claus
senius could not be held by law
which was so apparently in violation
Of the provisions Of the state consti-
tuition.
The fight against the law has been
forced by the master plumbers from
the start. Claussenius refused to take
out license, and was arrested in con-
sequence. He was tried before Judge
Hogue, and after sufficient hearing
of the case he was sent to the county
jail for twelve and one-half days.
His attorneys, Paxton, Beach & ST.
mon, Immediately applied for a writ
of habeas corpus and got him out of
Jail preparatory to an argument of the
validity of the law in the state circuit
court p RI ~ "+ ~
argument was heard by Judge
George in person. Since he has been
carefully considering the law in its
every detail. He has decided that it
was unconstitutional, and during the
course Of his decision made the follow
ing remarks:
There are many objections to the
law as it stands on the statute books
today. Among them is the fact that
there is absolutely no provision for a
record Of the examinations, and an
applicant who failed to pass would
have no evidence on which to base an
appeal.
1T also discriminates between
towns, limiting the actions of the
board to Incorporated places Of over
1000 people. The health and public
welfare in small places is just as i'm
portant as in Incorporated towns, and
I would class the law as special legis-
lation.

have any knowledge of the business

shall have IS, and he gets a license
