WATER AND WIND
Weather Goes to Extremes and Wind

All records of the year at the weather
bureau have been smashed in the past
twenty -four hours. Between IL o'clock
and midnight ga of an inch of rain fell
and since a m. the wind has been blow
ing a forty-mile gale, with an occasional
burst of fifty miles an hour. At Campbell,
Mimi, LEO inches of rain fell, and at
Lisbon, N. D., 1.S4 was the record. The
heavy rains to the west are moving east
and tonight another storm is expected,
with drop in temperature.

nesota and the Mississippi rivers, where
bastions were constructed, according to
the original plan. A little piece of the
wall still shows at the round tower and
the bastion on the Minnesota side is
still in evidence, altho at the present
time covered by cement. The corner
stone of the fort was laid by Colonel
Josiah Smelling in 1920, at which time
the post was known as Fort St. An

ROPE FOR WEBSTER RAPIST
THE ASSAII4ANT OF MISS DIS
MUKES GIVEN DEATH SENTENCE
Tobe Thornton Will Hang on April
81. Trial Was Held Without
Military Trimmings.

lobe Thornton, the negro ravisher,
will be hanged in Preston on April q.
Such was the result of the verdict
rendered at o'clock Thursday after
noon in Webster superior court, after
the jury had remained out 30 minutes.
The verdict met with universal APP
proval, although there was no APP
plause or demonstration of any char
acter among the hundreds of specta-
tors thronging the court room.
Thornton was taken into court by
two officers, and there were no mil
itary companies upon the scene and no
attempts at violence. Lawyers Souter
and Stevens were appointed by Judge
Littlejohn to defend the negro, while
Solicitor Hooper represented the state.
The evidence, while largely circum-
stantial, was overwhelmingly against
the defendant, and included numerous
free confessions made by Thornton at
the time of his capture.
Thornton, in his statement Thurs
day, denied the crime and about ten
minutes later freely confessed the act
to three gentlemen in the court room.
To Hang This Month.
Judge Littleiohn sentenced Thornton
to be hanged April q. The negro
heard the death sentence with the ut
most indifference and nonchalanee.
On the night of December q, 1903,
Thornton entered the home of Miss
Margaret Dismukes, a maiden lady
residing near Weston, during her alb
sence. Upon Miss Dismukes' return
home he sprang upon the helpless
woman in the darkened hallway, beat
her into insensibility and assaulted
her, afterwards leaving his victim for
dead.
When Thornton was captured two
days later his face bore the
scratches inflicted by Miss Dismukes'
finger nails.
He then confessed the crime for
which he has been sentenced to death
on the gallows.

oBEAR REPORTS ON GUARDS.
Recommends That Eight Men Under
Age Be Discharged.

Captain Wilkinson has received a
copy of the report of State Inspector
Obear on the Dawson Guards. The
inspection occurred two weeks ago,
and the showing made by the accompany
at that time. as shown by the report,
is comparative good one, though a
number of faults and defects are
pointed out by the inspector general.
The equipment of both officers and
men got a hard rap. The report
states that nearly all the rifles were
very dirty and rusty in barrels, and
equipment was not properly adjustedl"
A feature of the report that is of more
interest than anything else perhaps is
the recommendation that eight men be
discharged on account of being under
the age of enlistment. This will be
looked into at once by the officers,
with the result that some members of
the company may be lost.
All in all the report shows that the
Guards are up to the average stand
ard. At any rate, Dawson is proud
of its military organization.

INITIAL GAME WAS GOOD.
First Contest of Season Results in q
Victory for Dawson.

First Contest of Season Results in a
Victory for Dawson.
A good beginning was made by the
Dawson baseball team Friday after
noon, when the local nine, in the first
game played this season, defeated the
Shellman aggregation by a score of
4 to 2. The contest was remarkably
free from errors clean, snappy, well
executed for one this early in the sea-
son, and Witnessed by large crowd
of fans and patrons of the diamond
SPORT who, though hardly expecting
it, saw very satisfactory exhibition
of good ball playing.
Owen Bishop pitched, in baseball
parlance, game of regular spit-bali
variety for the Dawson team, and he
had an efficient backstop in Earl
GeiSe, whose work as catcher came
up to the high standard he has always
reached. Bishop struck out thirteen
men and yielded only one hit. Clar-
ence Arthur did good work in the box
for Shellman, and Frank Query, one
of Dawson's veteran baseballiSts, but
now living temporarily in Shellman,
caught the game with skill and clever
ness.
The fans are beginning to warm up
with the weather, and baseball talk is
rising with the mercury. Dawson will
doubtless go in for several games this
month.
The next game will be between the
locals and. the Americas team Fri
day afternoon, and some good ball is

WOULD PREFER FRANCE.
Russia and Japan Don't Want Uncle
 Snm,s InferYenflOn.

SRm's Intervention.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 7-The prevail ing opinion among diplomats in St. Petersburg in connection with the re- cent peace talk, is that Japan and Rus sia would choose France rather than the United States, when the time ar riyes to discuss terms of peace. It Is difficult if not impossible to tell when this time will come. The present cur rent of press and public opinion in Russia appears to be setting towards peace The newspapers no longer pro- claim the necessity of continuing the war at all costs. Articles appearing in The Russ and The Novoe Vremya over the signatures of well known war correspondents who have just returned from Manchuria discuss the conduct of operations there in unmeasured terms, while these papers editorially declare that hopes of victory are remote.
 The present distress and discontent of the working class and the general desire for reform evinced by the up- per class may develop a strong peace movement with which the Government may have to reckon; but on the other hand 1t is generally admitted that If peace should be concluded under dis advantageous conditions, it would ma terially strengthen the enemies of the present government, Which VIII not fail to keep this fact in sight and hope that some means can be found of reaching an adjustment satisfactory to Russia and Japan.
 This places special importance on the mission entrusted to M. Admabaza, di- rector of the committee on the Far East. who is believed to have gone thither in order to report to the Elm peror the possibility of reaching compromise with Japan without mate rial prejudice to Russia's interests.

MRS. DUKE DISCHARGED.
Texas Authorities Did Not Insist o
 Her Detention.

Texas Authorities Did Not Insist on
 Her Detention.
 New York, Feb. 7.---Mrs Alice Webb Duke was discharged from custody when arraigned in police court to- day after having been held a prisoner at the request of the Authorities of Nagodoches county. Texas. who had notified the local authorities that they had no indictment against her. An assistant district attorney told the court today that the Texas authorities did not insist that Mrs. Duke be held for extradition.
 Mrs Duke had been indicted on a charge of obtaining $3,000 from F, A. Blount, president of the Commercial National Bank of Nagodoches by false pretenses in connection with a tobac: co farm at Redfield. Texas. She had been held a prisoner for fifteen days. Her arrest followed the liberation of her husband. BrodIe I. Duke from a sanitarium to which he had been conn nitted on complaint of a son pending an inquiry as to his sanity. Mr. Duke is a member of the Duke family of to- bacco manufacturers.
 When Mrs. Duke was arranged todaS a letter was received from district att torney Imboden of Texas saying that he was not advised that requisition papers had been issued and would not ask that she be held any longer.
 You fellows in the district attorneys office have been dancing up to the tune of those fellows in Texas, who have been simply trifling with you,'' said Magistrate Pool.
 Mrs. Duke was then discharged.
