O'Clock Monday Evening

/ An unknown man was instantly
killed by Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul train a mile north of the
village of Truesde1l in this county

he was struck and instantly killed.
The remains were found lying In a
pool of water near the track. Coroner
Robinson went out this morning aud
took charge of the remains and they
were brought to the Krichbaum
morgue. The identity of the man is
a complete mystery. There was
nothing in his pockets by which his
identity could be learned and none of
the men employed about TrueSdelI
could give any information in regard
to his address or that of any OF his
relatives. The remains are those of
man SIS years ofage. He was dressed

that.
The unfortunate man had come to
Truesdel1 from Chicago on Moudxy
afternoon and it is stated that ne beat
his way out on one of the St. Paul
trains. He had been drinking con-
siderably during the afternoon and
towards evening he stated TO men
about the station that he was going
to Milwaukee. He managed to climb
} on passing train but just as it was,
pulling out his hat blew off aao he
jumped off the train to get the nat.
He did not again board the train as il
was moving at a good rate of speed
ii Later IN the evening he vert down
to the camp of workmen employed In
repairing the road bed and he told
them that he was going to Milwaukee
on later train. Shortly after this
! statement had been made to the meg
the train due to pass through TrueS-
dell at 1928 came along. The train
was a little behind time and il
thundered through the village at a
4 terrific rate of speed. Anshort ting
later the agent at Truesde1l received
a message from the conductor In
charge of the train stating that ne
: thought the train struck something
about mile north of the Treusdell
crossing. The men employed at the
section were at oncesent out to search
along the track but after an hours
search up and down the track they
failed to find anything. and returned
to the station. They went back to
the search early this morning and the
remains of the unfortunate man were
found in a pool of water along the
track. It is evident that the man had
y been instantly killed as his head and.
face were terribly mang1ed.

mains at coal shed near the station
and after jury had been called to

OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELEcToR.

The following taken from capitol
Chat" in the Washington Post deals to
some extent with Hon. B. s. Russell, of
jamestown, who carried North Dakota's
electoral vote to Washington:
IA gray old man entered the Vice
Presidents room Saturday. He sought
Senator Frye, and after depositing the
electoral vote of North Dakota, INDUCED
in "reminiscences of the two presidential
campaigns in which Andrew Jackson
won. Although B. s. Russell was then
but lad, his memory at eighty three is
keen. He has in his minds eye vivid
picture of how the voters looked those
days in passing to the polls.
He touched on his service years age
as a fellow. commissioner with Cadwal-
lader Golden Washburn, for many years
member of congress from Wisconsin,
major general of volunteers, and likewise
governor of the Badger State. Then
Senator Frye became reminiscent, for
Cadwallader hailed from Senator Frye's
old congressional district. The North
Dakota visitor observed his own regard
for the ex-governor and ex-representa-
tive, and mentioned the latter's gift of a
library to his home town of Livermore,
Maine. .
Eyes," murmured Senator Frye, his
mind evidently going back to earlier days.
"They had q famous cradle in the cor
ner OF the old Washburn residence,
shown the day the library was dedicat-
ed, said Russell. LEX
Yes, said Senator Frye again. "You
know I made a speech that day, and I
referred to that old Washburn cradle as
having rocked four governors of states,
four United States representatives, three
United States senators, one major gen.
eral, one captain in the navy. and two
soreign ministers" -.

Forum: There appear to be some
question whether or not the 800, 600
libel suit which was commenced against
Professor Ladd several months ago by
the manufacturers association in the
east will be brought to trial at the May
term Of the federal court as anticipated.
Soon after the action was commenced,
Ball, Watson & Maclay, attorneys for
Professor Ladd, asked the court to order
the plaintiff to give bond for costs.
This order was made and bond for $500
was filed with the clerk of the court soon
after. A demurrer to the bond was then
filed by Professor Ladd's attorneys. It
was claimed that the securities were
not reliable. The attorneys for the
manufacturers association, Knauf &
knauff of jamestown, have not since
taken any action in the matter. 1t is
the general opinion in legal circles that
the suit will be dropped. q

One objection that might be made
TO the anti-lobby bill presented by
Senator Spoonheim lies in the infer
ence that might be drawn that such
legislation is necessary in North Da-
kota to prevent corrupt practices in
lobbying. It is certainly an admitted
fact that the present session is free
from suspicion Of undue or improper
Influences and the same might be said
truly OF many sessions for years past.
inprobably no state in the union has
the legislative assembly been freer
from unpleasant scandals or notoriety
through the activity Of lobbyists. It
may be that Senator Spoonheim de-
