E. E. Barnidge. former resident
of Tower, dropped dead on the street
at Chippewa Falls, Wis, recently.

cause Of his demise. Mr.. Barnidge
was for a number Of years resident
or Tower and during the early days
was proprietor of the Sheridan Hotel.
Later lie purchased the Vermilion
hotel and he was in charge of that
popular hostelry when it was des-
troyed by fire two years ago last Aug
ust. Mr.. Barnidge removed with his
family to Chippewa Falls, Wis, where
he has since conducted the Barnidge
house. At the time of his death lie
was planning to open hotel at BOvey,

years old.

BEDE AN EASY winner
The Primaries Developed Some Strange Sur
prises for Certain Ones.
j. Adam Bede, BILLY Bates, John II. Norton
and Grant McMahan.
The Above Nominees Prove Conclusively that
the Voters Know What They Want
Ely Honors it's Candidate with an Almost
Unanimous Vote.

Contrary to the general apathy that
exists in politics throughout the state,
the primaries Tuesday developed con-
siderabl strength. This was espec-
tally true in the Eighth Congressional
District where the Duluth News Trib-
une had turned loose its garbage dep
ository for the purpose of defeating
the nomination of Hon. ]. Adam
Bede for Congress. Mr.. Bede has
contended in all of his addresses that
the esteemed n. I. was prompted in
its attack by interests over which the
paper had no control, that the dirty
campaign waged against him was
only the rotten excle; c. eminating
from the top story of the individual
whose name fiounts at the head of the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-09-21

editorial column and that all the
charges were false and malicious I'M
truths. The result of Tuesdays pri-
maries throughout the district shows
conclLsively that Mr.. Bede'S opinion
was shared quite generally by the
people who do the voting.
1t is safely to be figured that had
the campaign of the News-Tribune
lasted two weeks longer, Mr.. Millar.
an honored and respected gentleman,
would nave received less votes than
he did on Tuesday. Those who voted
for Mr.. Millar certainly did not do so
on the strength of the dlsreputable
onslaught of the paper on a man who
is so far above the political character
of the n. t. as God is above man, but
on Mr.. Millar's personal worth and
the pride felt in having a st. Louis
county man on the ticket for nat
ional position. Mr.. Millar, if the
truth was known, feels that the paper
injured his chances. but, he is a gen.
tleman and a good loser. He feels
amply repaid for his trouble in max
ing the showing he did against man
with a national reputation.
The friends of William J. Bates
throughout the county evidently did
not care continental for the opinion
of Attorney General Young to the
effect that Bates could not hold the

opponent was taken as a joke, al
though in some precincts the joke was
carried a few degrees farther than
absolutely necessary. Senator Lay
bOurn has proven himself the proper
man in the proper place and his nomi
nation was an assured fact. The leg
islatiVe result was foretold by those
familiar with the circumstances with
considerable accuracy. n. L. Hugo
was practically sure of denomination
and it was figured that the fight lay
between MCGEE and Miller. MCGEE
was considered out of the race early
in the game by the bookmakers con-
arary to the expectations of Lake and
Cook counties. These counties felt
they were entitled to representative
and rightly so. The consequences
were that Two Harbors lost their

position even if he was elected. The
voters went after the opinion with a
vengeance and elected their candidate
with the largest plurality lie has ever
had. 1t is now up to the opposition
to make good their threats of custer
proceedings, etc, in the face of the
popular choice of the people. There
is but small prospect that BILLY will
be mOlested unless the Democratic
nominee, John d. Brady should sue
coed In being elected in November.
Brady has about as much show as the
proVerbial SNOWFALL in hades. Bates
was nominated sheriff and will be
elected sheriff besides lie will hold the
office Of sheriff until his term expires.
The senatorial and legislative out
come in this district was no surprise
although some seemed to think it was.
Senator LaybOurn was nominated
practically without opposition. His

ProlIibiii0n ticket in the person of
Frank Fulton. Miller and Hugo will
be elected. Both are strong men and
this district H. To he congratulated.
MIR. Hugo stands the best chances of
being the next speaker Of the house.
The strong run made by Mr.. Miller
shows the esteem in which lie is held.
In the redistricting TO he done next
winter the legislature will make a
separate district of Lake and Cook
counties.
Halden, Holgate. Palmer, Ayres.
Johnson, Gilpin and McCuen were
without opposition and their nomina-
ton was assured. The popularity OF
these men is evidenced in the faci
that they had no opposition. j. b

Mr.. Middlecoff has held the Office for
several terms and during that time
has made many friends.
A source of much qualification to
the voters was the nomination of John

and has never held political office.

Rithcie had just left Echo under the
influence of liquor and while walking
on the track just west of the flour
mill, was struck by the train on a
sharp curve. His right leg was cut
off at the knee his head horribly
crushed and the body was dragged

culvert where it was released and
dropped off to one side of the track.
John Ross, companion, rushed in
and attempted to rescue Richie, but
was unable to do so.owing to the near
approach of the train and Ritchie was
run down and instantly killed.
Ritchie was about 80 years of age,
unmarried and has worked in the Vi

been employed in one of the grading
camps on the government irrigation
project near Echo for some time. 1t

Coroner Ralph Folsom left for Echo
on the delayed train this afternoon to
investigate the accident, but it is
thought no inquest will be held.

of the rules OF the road.
This is the first trainmen discharg-

Owing to the large numbers of
workingmen travelling during the ac-

len silence in hopes OF gaining
strength from public sentiment.

hcles of all kinds are in sharp de-
mand as traffic in many of the remote
parts of the city is entirely suspended.

ience and only three men have been
