HELD FOR TRIAL.
Hartzell and Bascom Were Committed to
Jail Awaiting Their Trial.

The preliminary hearing of s. L..
Hartzell and E. T. Bascom, charged
with the murder of B. V. Stoddard, was
brought to a close Saturday evening
shortly before ten o'clock, after having
continued steadily since Thursday
noon, the hearing having started imme-
diately after the arrival of the 12:37
train from the south on that day.
Both Hartzell and Bascom we're re-
manded to Jail until their trial in dis
trict court, the application of their
lawyer, Attorney Sinkler for release
under bond being refused by Judge
Farrell.
The witnesses put on the stand by
States Attorney Price included the
coroner's jury, Coroner Gibson, DR..
Brooks, Mrs. Stoddard, and several
others who we're either at or near the
scene of the homicide or had received
an account of the same from an eye
witness.
The defense contented itself with
subpoening number of the states wit
nesses and endeavoring to introduce
testimony as to the character and
reputation of Stoddard, but all evidence
along that line was ruled out by the
court.
The court room was filed each day
during the hearing, quite number of
ladies being included in the audience.
There is probability of the trial being
set to come up next month. 1t is also
understood that Attorney Sinkler is
making application to the supreme
court to have either one or both of the
defendants released under bond, pend
ing the trial.

G1v1s A QUIT CLAIM DEED.
Bismarck Settler.)

The republican state convention has
been held at Grand Forks. B. F.
Spalding, the we'll known and popu-
lar member of congress from Cass
county has been ''turned down" and
"passed up and Senator Hansbrough's
old friend and henchman, A. j. Gronna,
of Nelson county, who betrayed Con-
gresham NJ. N. johnson, has been
nominated to succeed B. F. Spalding.
1t has been suggested that the slope,
Grand Forks, Cass, Stark, Ward, Bur-
leigh and the big counties generally
give quit-claim deed to all congress
sional and senatorial aspirations, but it
makes little difference who is elected
senator or congressman. The state will
probably get no less in the future than
it has in the past.

machine. An organization we must and
should have, but the state of North
Dakota is controlled today by tyran-
nical oligarchy of no more than half a
dozen men. The fewer, the stronger.
The close corporation must be main
tained. Mr.. Spalding was in the way.
And SO he became victim of butcher
knife politics-slaughtered without a
shadow of justification. The slave ques-
tion is u living, leading issue in North
Dakota.

FHE GREAT TRANSACTIONS DONE!
Cavalier Chronicle.)
Ills done. Yes, indeed, It's done. The
great transaction is accomplished. The
republican state convention. The nomi-
mating convention we mean-Met in the
Grand Forks opera house Wednesday
afternoon and sanctioned the work of
"the great combine" Was this hitting
thing to do? It makes no difference
whether it was or not. The Combine"
had made its decree-and the decree
OF political combines in North Dakota
is law. irreversable law. 1t certainly
was shabby thing to do for the con-
vention to up and turn down such an
able and efficient congressman as Bur
leigh F. Spalding has proven himself to
be. 1t was not good judgment, as we see
it. But "the powers that be- IN the COM
bine told the convention to do it, and
that settled it-and there it is. Gronna
a good man, did you say? Well, what
amount of ice can that cut in the deal ?
Spalding is better than good. He is
efficient. His record is clean. He has
shown high intelligence and statesman
ship in congress, and North Dakota has
profited by his administration. It was
a shame to the republican party to turn
down such man right in the very
zenith Of his usefulness to his state
and country. 1t is stupendous blum
der. 1t is the progeny of downright
selishness-But combines are usually
affected with selfishness. Gronna may
be all right as man, a merchant and
a politician, but he is new and untried
in high positions of trust, and it will be
many week and month before he can
reach the needed qualification and
prestige to constitute himself an efficient
and successful congressional representa-
tive. We don't blame Gronna for getting
there, and we hope he'll do well-But
it's selfish, measly politics that pre-
sumes to turn down unannounced, and
without just cause or provocation, SO
intelligent, conscientious and useful a
high public servant as Congressman
Spalding. We offer no criticism on the
combine for the balance of the ticket
nominated. We don't know that they
could have done any better.

ARRANGEMENT OF THE "BOOK1Es"
Milton Globe.)

At the republican state convention
the ticket was placed in nomination
without any opposition. The slate was,
of course, fixed up and assented to by
the ''powers behind the throne" before
the convention and that body simply
ratified the arrangement of the "bookies. -
The defeat of Congressman Spalding
without breaking the combination was
serious problem for the Big Five and
occupied the constant attention of that
august body for two days.

Comments of Few State Republican
Papers on the Ticket Nominated at
Last Weeks State Convention.

[The usual conditions that exist after
North Dakota republican state con-
vention now prevail. Sensible repubh-
cans are disgusted and the honest voter
has another striking example OF the
degenerated selfish condition of ma
chine made politics. The attending
delegates had no voice in the naming OF
the ticket of the party for congressional
and state office. 1t is anything but
representative of the wishes OF those
attending the convention and the re-
publican voters of North Dakota are
called upon to swallow the dose and
vote the slate named by the st. Paul
bosses, who are noting more or less than
the agents of the railroads traversing
this state. Last weeks republican con-
yeution was carried through with
higher hand than ever before in the
political history of North Dakota ahd

comments of few of our republican
contemporaries as to how they view the
matter.-ED.]

The following letter was mailed out
today by S. c. Alexander and compa-
ny as report on the cotton crop:
Pine Bluff, Ark, July S-Tne
weather continues cloudy aud cool
with rain nearly every day. Some
days the downpour amounts to an
inch. and it begins to look as if the
grass and weeds would take what
cotton was left by the overflow. 1t
has rained somewhere in this terri
tory every day for the past two weeks
and the farmers are feeling very
blue. During the overflow all hands
stopped work in the fields in order TO
fight the water and very little work
has been done on the crop since the
high water began to make trouble
nearly month ago. This means. OF
course, that everything is very much
behind in the river districts OF Ark
anSas, and as the river and bottom
country comprises the largest part OF
the cotton growing region of the
state. our crop viii be affected mate
rally. Labor is still scarce and high,
which adds to the difficulty of the
situation.
We note that reports from Other
states are more favorable and in Ger
tain parts of this state crops are fair
ly good: the majority of them are
poor, however. and We expect to see
Arkansas turn ont considerably less
than million bales for the next
crop. The river is still high, and at
present We can do nothing but watch
the rain fall and the grass grow;
some fields are choked up already ana
cannot be saved The rains must
stop some time and when they do.
and the farmers get to work again, We
will take pleasure in advising you
further: hope TO be able to give bet
ter news next time

Next Monday, July II, is the date
set by the act Of the legislature OF
1901 for the meeting in each county
in the state Of the county ex-Conted-
crate pension boards. Under this new
law the investigation of proofs sub
mitted by applicants for pensions is
made by the county boards, who IN

recommendations. Formerly the
state board was in session each year
from three days to a week or more,
going over the proofs in each case.
Now they simply pass upon the rec
concentrations of the county boards OF
pensions, who have previously looked
into the proofs and refused those
in which they did not deem the proof
sufficient.
The board meeting will be held
Monday at the court house. when all
applications on file with the secretary
will be taken up.
The jefferson county board is con-
posed of John S. Bell and S. M. Btu

HER RECOVERY is DOUBTFUL

Mrs. John ! Martin, i lady about
seventy years of age. was injured in
an accident this morntng in front OF
the Southern Grocery company by a
runaway team belonging 10 the West
brook Grain and Commission cont
pany.
Mrs. Martin was struck in the chest
by the horse and knocked to the
sidewalk. Both wheels of the wagon
passed over her body aud il is thought
she is injured internally so badly that
! she will not recover. Her right eye
was entirely closed by blow from
the horses foot, and an ear was badly
cut. In falling to the sidewalk she
| strn't her head an Tie ,..,rti1,s and
was rendered unconscious She vas
i fah"h INTO the warehouse of the
Southern Grocery company and DR.. A
| E. Loving attended her. Later she
was removed to the hospital. Mrs.
Martin is the wife of Surveyor John
Martin, and has lived here for many
years.
The accident happened about y
10 clock Mrs Martin and Mrs. En-
mert we're driving down Pine street
ia a tWo-seated vehicle. Mrs. En-
inert did the driving and Mrs Martin
was in the rear seat. Just as they
crossed the Cotton Belt tracks at
Third avenue, Mrs. t,mmert noticed
the runaway horse coming down
Pine street in the other direction and
turned into the curbing in order to
| let the horse pass with the wagon
Mrs Martin became very much eN-
| cited and inspite of Mrs. Emmert
| calls to stay in the buggy, she
climbed out the back. She got out
on the side next to the street, and just
as she reached the ground the horses
struck her The animals made an at
tempt to get out of her way. and this
threw them on the sidewalk behind
the lighter carriage. Mrs. Martin tel
partially on the sidewalk and partial
" in the street The heavy grain
wagon passed over her body ana one
; of the horses stepped on her. she
was picked up in an unconscious con
dition and carried into the warehouse,
where she regained Consciousness al
ter a few minutes, but complained OF
her breathing.
Mrs. Emmert stayed in the buggy
and held her horse. She was not hurt
as the grain wagon missed the lighter
buggy entirely.
The horses belonging to the West
brook Grain and Commission com
pauv had become frightened at some
object further up the street and thre"
the driver out as they started to run.
The wagon was not damaged
NO blame can be attached to any
one for the accident. Mrs. Emmert
did not know that Mrs. Martin mad
gotten out of the buggy until after the
accident.
Mrs. Martin is very old. and It IS
thought by the physicians that she |
cannot survive the shock. She lives
about a mile and half from the city |
AND had come into the city to do some
shonnirg. She and Mrs. EmmerS
