SEEK A MURDERER IN HAVRE

Havre's police and the deputy
county authorities are looking for
David Polinski, alias Popoiinski, who
was this week indicted by the grand
jury Of Valley county on charge OF
murder. April Il last the body Of
John Ehlers was found in the river
near his ranch, three miles from
Nashua. The head was crushed with
an ak or some other heavy weapon,
and bloody trail showed that the
body had been put on a wagon,
hauled to the river and forced
through a hole in the ice.
Polinski owned an OdjOining ranch.
Ehlers was last seen alive in Glasgow,
when he left the city with his
neighbor. Polinski shortly after the
disappearance of Ehlers leased his
homestead to W. T. Swank. He
placed one of Ehlers horses in pasture
and told neighbors that Ehlers had
gone out on the range strengthening.
The motive Of the murder was not
robbery, as $25 in cash was found on
Ehlers body and bis property is ap-
parently intact, but this only makes
the case against Polinski the stronger,
as he was man Of violent temper
and several times suspected of
dementai. 1t is believed that he
quarreled with his neighbor and
killed him in sudden passion.
POlinslxi has been traced definately
to HaVre, where he was seen only a
short time ago, and it is believed that
he is still in this vicinity.

A newspaper correspondent at
Browning is responsible for story
which says the Blackfeet Indians
have determined to make claim at
Washington for all the land lying
between Sun river and line a short
distance north Of Helena. The
amount involved is nearly two million
acres. They claim that a strip of
land along the Sun river was sold by
them, but that they never sold the
land beyond. This is an old claim.
and is now revived because of a
similar case in California in which,
after a 13-year struggle, the Indians
won out and received 100000 for
their contested lands. With such a
case as a precedent, the Indians are
hopeful of a satisfactory adjustment
of their claim.

WELD MACHINE OUT
OF CENSUS TAKERS
State Officials Frankly Avow
Their Political Inten.
ti0nS

Politics" will be the slogan of the
Minnesota state census bureau.
Meek and lowly enumerators, who
tremblingly inquire the age of coy
spinsters and chronicle in strictest de-
tail the number, size and physical pc
culiarities of backwoods farmers
canine following, must wear the badge
of Republicanism. This ukase has gone
forth in the first literature on the sub
ject-the applications for positions
which come from the office of the sec
retary of state.
In order to secure an opportunity
to earn 2 cents for each name enrolled
Ii will be necessary for the applicant
to secure the signature and recon-
mendation Of the members of his legis-
lative district. They must vouch for
him and stamp his name as one of the
chosen few. II there are three legis-
lators in the territory which he desires
to cover, all must approve of his ap-
plication. If there are only two, ne
but he must also make his peace with
the chairman of "a political party in
order to secure place.
Students of civil government in Min
nesota recognize that with the secre-
tary of state "a political party" means
the Republican party. Throughout the
state the Republicans are in the ma
jority in the legislative districts, with
possibly three exceptions. so that the
requisite in every case would be Re-
publican signatures.
With census enumerators approXi-
mating 2,700 in number required TO
count the noses in Minnesota, a polit-
ioal machine of no mean proportions
is to be built up by the state census
bureau by virtue of the clever plan
adopted by the Republican secretary
of state and his census bureau asso-
ciates. The value of an organiza-
ton is proverbial in politics. The sec
retary may have heard of its strength
when called upon to produce results
in a political campaign. And it is said
that Mr.. Hansen has political ambi-
tions not entirely confined to the hon.
orable office of secretary of state.
With an abandon that is refreshing
in its frankness, the application blanks
which candidates for appointmsht as
enumerators are expected to sign, tell
the whole story of the politics in the
bureau. In footnote to the blank is
a statement that the applicant must be
indorsed and recommended by three
members of the legislative district in
which the application is made. In
districts where there are but two leg
islative members the third signature
may be made by the chairman OF the
county or ward committee.

A revolver shot rang out when the
great congregation knelt :, silently
about the ~crucifix in the darkened
church during the solemn moments of

of the cross had just been concluded.
An Austrian priest hurried TO the side
OF the countess and found her dying,
with a frightful wound in the fore
head. = where the bullet had entered.
Her death occurred a few moments
later, while she was on the way to a
hospital. The Marchioness Maria Pal

LITTLE FALLS, Minn April 21-
Joseph and William Kintop, brothers
of the late Annie Kintop, went to the
scene of the murder and made an ex-
haustive search of the place. They
found the missing fur boa, a pair of
side combs, the girls prayer book and
her watch case in the water near the
railroad track. They also found a
bloody hatpin on the track which may
furnish an important clew, as the girl
told her brother Joseph sometime ago,
when he warned her to be careful. that
If she were ever attacked she would
use her hatpin.
A story of heart stirring interest is

powerful first class armored cruiser
Hogue has been ordered to get ready to

tivity among all the vessels of the
British fleet on the China station.
These facts are significant when
taken in connection with the knowl-
edge that Japan has energetically pro-
tested to France against allowing Ro-
jestvensky's fleet to remain in Indo-
Chinese waters and that the japanese
press and public are clamoring for Civ

England and Japan contemplated in
such a case
The British fleet on the China sta

scale of naval war in favor of Japan
Togo and Rojestvensky are nearly

Noel has five battleships Qour first

the aggregate 100 guns ranging in call
iber from Al inch to IL inch, and S3S
guns in their secondary batteries. Be

MANKATO, Mimi, April 21.-Some
progress was made today in the Koch

making eight in all. The four who
We're obtained today We're w. E. Bar
nard of Mankato, drayman employed
by the Creamery Package Manufactur-
ing company; William BOSWELL of st.
Clair, a farmer; o. G. Lundberg of
Mankato, who has no particular occu-
patton, and j. H. Stewart of Mankato,
who is in the book and stationery
business, being the senior partner of
the firm of Stewart & Holmes. The
jurors previously secured are Joseph
Waddell, a farmer of Beauford; w. II.
Wilcox, a manufacturer of this city;
w. L. Rappley, farmer of Jamestown,
and o. T. Severson, a farmer of Medo.
1t is recognized on all hands that
the jurymen thus far selected are much
above the average, and if the other
four should prove to be of as high a
standard, there is not likely to be a
miscarriage of justice, so far as the
jury is concerned. All are men of

KITE CAMERA TEENS

WASHINGTON, April 21-A board
of army officers went to the Indian
Head proving grounds today to conduct
experiments by which a camera sus-
pended in the air by means of a kite
may be controlled and operated by an
electric device manipulated by person
standing on the ground. 1t is claimed
that photographs of the surrounding
country for distance of ten or twelve
miles may be taken in this way
There was considerable wind blow
Ing today and some rain fell, but not
withstanding this three exposures were
secured at various distances in the air,
one Of which was taken at an altitude
OF perhaps 400 feet. Army officers are
watching the developments with in
terest, in view of the possibility of the
use of the camera for purposes of, pho
tographing an enemy's troops and de-
fenses in actual warfare.
