too, the charge was made years
ago, when the dispensary was
managed under the storiginal
plan"-by a board composed of
the Governor and other State
officials. They bought whistles
from the Cattle and Feeders
Trust, a combination Of distll-
lemes of which a Mr.. Hubbell
was the head, and in their Off
cial Journal, at the time the dis
pensary was managed under
':the original plan, was pub
lished the prices and rebates al
lowed for all purchases from
this Trust. In 1923 the prices
quoted ran IRON SIP to Sl.3J
per gallon, with a rebate of
seven cents per gallon. In 1891
the prices ranged from Sill to
s1.33 per gallon with a rebate
Of ten cents per gallon. During
the years 1928 many thousands
of gallons of whiskey was
bought while the management
was under the "original plan, y
but the books of the dispensary
do not disclose any record OF the
rebates which must have been
received by those in control, or,
the Cattle and Feeders Trust is
still due South Carolina thous-
ands of dollars. Mr.. Hubbell.
the head of this whiskey trust,
died, and of course, no explana-
ton can come from him, but
Senator Tillman and his asso-
ciates who were in charge OF the
dispensary when this rebate was
due to the State, can be made
valuable witnesses for the plain
tiff in suit entitled, The State
of South Carolina against ''The
Cattle and Feeders Trust" for
the amount of rebates on Whls-
key purchases due the State
that do not appear on the dls-
pensary books. A sui of this
character would be heard in the
United States court, and that
tribunal could force the attend
ance Of persons with the books
and papers of the Trust, and it
the Trust did not give to South
Carolina the rebates due: then
the State could recover and force
the Trust to pay them over, but
on the other hand, if the Trust
shows it did pay the rebates,
then it must also show whether
those in control under "the
original plan" received them, or
who did.
We heartily agree with Sena-
tor Tillman shat there has been
a great deal more stealing than
has been unearthed:'' but we
think he is mistaken in his sug-
gestion to return to the ''orlgl-
nal plan"
Senator Tillman has said that
he intended to make some sug-
gestions to remedy the evils in
the dispensary, and if the iegis-
lature did not apply the remedy,
he will help to kill it, We think
one of his first suggestions
should be for legislation which
will authorize a suit brought IN
the United States courts against
the whiskey trust, for, accord
ing to the books of the State dis
pensary the rebates are still due
the State; the second suggestion
should be, if it is found that
these rebates have been collected
and still remain not properly ac-
counted for, that an indictment
be lodged against any and all
persons wrongfully Withholding
this money.
In this way the Senator will
be able to inspire confidence
in the sincerity of the pro-
fessions now being made to
purge the institution Of the rot
tenness which he admits exists,
and it can be done too, without
any revival of factionalism or
bitterness.

MARK mel son DEFEATS
BROWN OF WINNIPEG
Before the Minot Athletic Club in the jacob
son Opera House---The Hardest Fight
Ever Seen in Minot---The Men Did No
Faking.

One OF the hardest fights ever
seen in Minot, was pulled off be-
fore the Minot Athletic Club at
the jacobson opera house Mon.
day night when Mark Nelson put
James Brown of Winnipeg out
OF business IN the eighth round.
Nelson had knocked Brown down
five times in the round and
Brown had risen four times to
the count Of Referee Gilbert and
was just rising the fifth for per-
haps the knockout blow when
the referee gave Nelson the de-
cision. There was no purse up,
but the winner took the gate
receipts.
Brown is from Winnipeg and
was considered a sort OF a dark
horse among the sports. When
he entered the ring. it was APP
parent that he was perhaps
stronger physically than the
''Terrible Swede" but he lacked
the experience and the science.
He was in excellent condition.
Nelson crowded his man dur
ing the first round and attempt
ed to see Of what metal he was
made. Nelson brot blood dur
ing that round, which was easily
in his favor.
The second round was very
even. Nelson received a hard
blow in the mouth, which brot
blood.
Brown was the aggeessor in
the third round. He forced Mel
son to the ropes and Nelson
ducked a hard swing for the
head. The fighting was fast.
In the fourth round Nelson
went after Browns wind. He
hit him five terrible blows in the
wind with telling effect and land
ed several times hard on the
head. Brown was knocked down
just as the gong sounded and
was badly dazed. Brown was
groggy and his legs very weak.
The crowd was evidently salts
fed that there was no taking.
In the fifth round Nelson kept
pecking away hard at Browns
head and wind.
Brown was knocked down in
the sixth round and took the
count. Browns mouth was
bleeding very badly when he was
taken to his corner.

A THEATRICAL NOVELTY.

Ed. Andrews, the famous ope-
ratio comedian, is making the
hit OF his career this season in
his new musical comedy, "Birds
Of a Feather Mr.. Andrews has
been striving for some time to
secure a high class comedy suit
ed to his particular style, and
different from the so-called mu-
steal comedies that are without
plot and simply q vehicle for the
introduction OF Vaudeville spe-
cialties.
This production is different
from these thread-bare pieces, as
it is a musical comedy of unusual
merit, irresistibly funny situa-
tons, an ingenious plot and
magnificent musicel features.
Mr.. Andrews has surrounded
himself with the most prominent
OF his opera singers, and this is
doubtless the first time musical
comedy has been produced with
such a high class collection OF
singers.
This splendid attraction will
be at the jacobson opera house
on Thursday and Friday, June
Sth and 9th.

Colored Johns Prosperity.

John, the colored gentleman,
who has been tidying the floors
at the Opera Barber Shop, re-
turned from Grand Forks, "dead
busted" as he says, after weeks
visit with his little "yeller girl'
John told Of his prosperity to a
few OF his friends on the streets
and his story was heard by an
INDEPENDENT reporter. '1as

sa Blaisdell for Sis and sold it
agin for $215 in four months

Brown came up in the seventh
round somewhat revived but his
blows lacked their former force.
He was again struck on the head
and knocked down. He took
the count. He arose to be
knocked to his knees again. He
was groggy. He was knocked
to the floor again and took the
count. The fourth time he was
knocked to the floor and was
taking the count when the gong
sounded. He hardly knew
"wheIe he was at.'i
Brown came up in the eighth
round and struck wildly. He
slipped several times to the floor
when attempting to get away
from his antagonist. Nelson
fought fast and furious and
again struck Brown on the Jaw
bringing the Canadian to his
knees. He rested on his hands
and breathed heavily. He took
the count again. He arose to
be sent to the floor again and
again and again and again.
When he arose he fairly held to
Nelson to keep from falling but
he would not give up. The re-
fierce saw that Brown was about
all in and declared Nelson the
winner.
Brown injured one of his hands
very badly in the fight. Dr..
Windell attended him after the
fight.
Nelson was seen by an INDIE
PENDENT reporter Tuesday. He
said: 81 consider Brown a stur-
dy, rugged fighter. He is a good
one and has had a good deal Of
experience. He has had five
fights already this month. He
can stand all kinds OF punish
ment, In the beginning OF the
fight :. went after his wind till |
saw that he was groggy then |
went after his Jaw"
Nelson came out Of the fight in
fine condition. He was not hurt
as he received no blows Of any
consequence.
Nelson stands as q fighter in
his own class. While he may not
have the foot work that some
fighters have, he has a terrible
strong punch and always uses
good Judgment. He demon
strated that he is at the top in
his class.

THERE is A FAMINE
OF SEED FLAX

Thousands OF bushels OF flax
could now be sold in Minot, at
fancy prices if it only could be
secured. Every day hundreds Of
farmers inquire at the elevators
for fax for seed but it seems
that all of it has been shipped
from the country and it is a
hard matter to get any Of it
back. Farmers who intended
putting in wheat mostly, have
been encouraged by the recent
fine rains, and will break hum
dreds Of acres for fax. Flax
can be sown up until June l., or
even later. Flax would demand
a price OF - a bushel if it could
only be gotten now. The eleva-
tor men are trying hard to get
in a few hundred bushels and
may succeed.

but for the tact employed by the
enterprising citizens of that lit
tie city. They arrived in the
afternoon in a very bad humor
stating that they had not agreed
with the 500 at F'laxton. They
wanted something to eat and
mighty quick. They had not
had a bite to eat since morning.
The matter was taken up with
the 500 company and the Of
ficials ordered the hungry NOR
tails fed and taken out of town
as quickly as possible. The da-
goes have caused more or less
trouble in this part of the state
this year. It's wrong to allow
the poorer class to enter this
country. They deprive hard
workingmen OF work, or if not,
cut down the price OF labor.
