FFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AND
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
IS MAYOR DUNNE A FAIL
URE: ."~ r-51rI

Mayor Dunno of Chicago has
disappointed even his friends by
the weakness Of his administra-
tive ability since his assumption
ofsthe Office. The people of that
city are beginning to realize
that because man is a good fell
low it does not necessarily fol-
10y That he will make good
public ofic.r. In fact, they have
found to their regret that the
that the man who seeks POPULAR
ity by making himself chumny
with the masses is often So de-
sirous of preserving that popu-
larity that he is swerved from
duty in order to secure the popu-
lar applause. Mayor Dunno
has shown his weakness on this
point ever since he assumed the
Office, and it was particularly
marked during the early strike
riots in the city.
He was elected on a platform
demanding public ownership of
the public utilities, yet he lacks
the executive ability to carry in
to execution the theories which
were embodied in that platform,
and which Judge Dunno dis,
cussed in glittering generalities
during his campaign. It is not
whether this is or is not the best
course for the city to pursue,
that is being studied by sociol-
ogists, but the moral effect upon
a public question when men
without executive ability, but
who, because of good fellow.
ship, are elected to carry them
into effect. The two elements
are sometimes combined in one
man, a striking example Of
which is President Roosevelt,
It is difficult in popular govern.
ment to elect a man without this
popularity, and the experience
of Chicago is proof positive that
such is no test Of the real value
OF the man as a public servant.

Times: A surprising move on
the part of the 500 railroad took
place the first Of the week when
its surveyors began work on a
branch to run from the main line
due north of Starkweather to
run directly into the town.
The surveyors stopped over Sun
day with ]. R. Owens on the
Clifton farm eight miles north
of town and began the survey
north on Monday morning. They
stated that they would run a line
from there TO the main line about

be that the 500 pro posed to build

.servation come ting with their
other main Line at Kensal as has
been the talk for some time.

THROUGH TRAINS JANUARY 1

w. I. Gray. assistant engineer
of construction on the White Riv-
err Railroad, is reported to have
stated a few days ago that there
remains only four and half miles
of track to be laid to complete the
road. The Omaha tunnel, howev-
err, which has caused the greater
part of the trouble on the entire
line, is still the bug-bear of the
construction department, and it is
there that the most strenuous eff
forts of the contractors are con-
centrated. Everything possible is
being done to complete the line,
and it is believed that by the first
of January through train service
will be inaugurated.

DAVIS AND DINSMORE
Engage in Personal Encounter in
Which Cane and Pistol Are
Used as Clubs

Fayetteville, Nov. Glow.
Davis and former Congressman
Hugh Dinsmore had a personal
difficulty last night in the lobby
of the Washington house in which
both got their heads cracked, Gov.
Davis using large stick, which
he broke, and Mr.. Dinsmore his
trusty 10 revolver, which he drew
the crimson in copious draughts
from the governors face, necessi-
tating number OF stitches to
unite the cut parts. Both we're
placed under arrest and will be
tried before Mayor Eason.
From statements issued by both
-combatants, the fight was over a
personal letter that had been writ
ten to Mr.. Dinsmore by Senator
Berry, asking his advice about
meeting Gov. Davis in joint de-
bate at Bentonville. Gov. Davis
had this letter, andhad been read
ing it in his speeches, and, as Mr..
Dinsmore claims, torturing it out
of its original meaning. Mr.. Dins-
more had been informed by friend
that the governor had read the let
ter at Cotter on Saturday, and
when charged with this Governor
Davis denied the allegation, and
Dinsmore called him names. Da-
Wis ran from the room. calling for
"a policeman, and Dinsmore after
him, denying the need of one if
Davis would hand over the letter.
Then they mixed, Davis striking
the first blow, and Dinsmore re.

DINMoRE's STATEMENT.


L met a friend on the streets
yesterday who was just from Cot
ter, where he heard Governor Da-
Wis speak. In his speech he read
a letter which Senator Berry had
written me. The governor is try
ing to make capital against Sena-
tor Berry out of this, constituting
things into it, which is usual with
him. This letter was private
property and surreptitiousIy OBJ
tanned. Governor Davis not SEEM
ing to appreciate that his conduct
was dishonorable, | made up my
mind to demand my letter from
him. Learning that he would be
here last night, | awaited his ar
rival at the hotel. When he came
| told him | would like to have a
private interview with him. He
said very we'll, and invited me to
his room. As he started upstairs
he told Oscar Moore to come with
us. Jack Walker was in company
with me and went also. When
we got into his room, | said: l
understand you have letter of
mine from Senator Berry, which
you have been reading in your
speeches.. He said: | have, but
have not got it not. | asked
where it was now, and he said he
had left it in his office at home. |
asked him if he did not have it
with him on Friday at Cotter and
read from it. He said that he did
not. | told him he was a liar.
that Rod Murchison had been
there and heard him read the let
ter. | thereupon asked him how
he got possession of the letter. He
said friend here gave it to him,
but refused to tell who it was. |
told him that he and his friend
were no better than a couple of
thieves to obtain and use private
letter in that way. He then open
ed the door of his room and walk
ed out. We went down stairs in
to the lobby of the hotel and
continued to denounce his conduct
in severe language. He had a
large gold-headed cane in his hand
and shifted it, catching it about
the middle. As he raised it as if
to strike me | struck him in the
face with my fist. lie struck me
over the side of the head and broke
the cane in the middle. reversing
it with large end as club, and at
tempting to strike me with it.

pocket and struck him several
blows upon the head until he de-
sisted and cried for help. | then
left him. Mr.. Walker was pres

except to prevent Mr.. Davis
