BADLY BURNED BY EXPLOSION
Little Wayne Stoker has Narrow
Escape from Serious Injury.

Last Saturday afternoon Wayne
Stoker, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas
Stoker, net with an accident which
might have been very serious, as it
was he escaped with one side of bis
face badly powder burned but not 30
as to be much scared.
His folks were moving from town
out to the ranch upon which they
have taken lease. Among the mat
erial they were moving was a can of
powder, a few scraps of giant, etc.
This can was temporarially set to one
side and Master Wayne discoyered it.
He thought to have little celebration,
and dropped a match into the can, when,
G1ick as tightening the powder fash
ed up into his face and the damage
was done. Luckily there was not
enough giant in the mixture to do
much damage, or the accident would
have been much worse.
DR.. Binger was called and dressed
the injured face. At first the discol-
grafton from the powder made it ap-
pear quite serious. One eye was
swollen shut the next morning and it
was feared that the eyeball was iniur-
ed. But as the swelling went down
and the burns healed it was discover
ed that the eye will doubtless be all
right, and the marks of the explosion
be very few.

Biz Plant at Mineral Hill Will Be
Producing Bullion Next Week.
Have Experienced Many Adverse
Conditions in Its Construction,
but have Conquered all
Difficulties.

Chas. H. Gage and Judge Turner
are in town from Mineral Hill this
week and state that the large Cotton
smeter which they have been build
ing for treating the ores of the Min
eral Hill mines, will be started up
tomorrow.
These gentlemen have lease on
these mines and have a great deal of
ore extracted and ready for treat
ment. 1t is lead-silver ore and the
smelter just completed, has been con-
structed under the direct supervision
of Mr.. Gage, to treat these ores to
the best advantage.
The greater part of the tin work in
connection with this plant has been
done in the shop of L. Zunini, of Love-
lock, as Mr.. Gage believes in turning
all the work possible to the local
trade.
Interested with Messrs Gage and
Turner is Mr.. Kennedy, of Reno and
all of these men are confident that
they have a good thing in their con-
troll, The plant is located at the
mines five miles from the line of the
Z. & P. railroad, about thirty miles
from Palisade. During its construct
ion the weather has been very unfav-
orable and the snow deep, hut the
work of building has gone on just the
same, and they will soon begin the
treatment OF ore.
As soon as this is started and the
returns are received from Antimony
ore shipped East for a test run. Mr.,
Gage will begin the construction of a
smaller plant at the Sutherland anti
mony mine, fourteen miles cart from
Lovelocks.

Twelve YEARS SINCE
THE CRIME WAS
COMMITTED
Communication of Sentence is
Asked for Josef Till serv-
ing Time in State Pen.

Twelve years ago Henry Miller, a
farmer in the county of Pembina, was
found dead on the farm of a man
by the name of Bedois. Circumstances
pointed to murder, and after brief
investigation young Hungarian emf
grant, who had but a few days pre-
vious arrived in the country and who.
by the way, was cousin of the dead
man, was arrested for the crime. He
was afterward tried and convicted,
but the evidence presented in the trial
court was altogether of circumstan-
tial nature. Subsequently Till was
sentenced to the state penitentiary for
life. The claim has several times
been made since that time that Till
was not the murderer of Miller at all,
and recently the a-Hungary con-
sui to the United States took up the
matter and endeavored to secure a
pardon.
Tracy R. Bangs, of this city, left
last evening for Bismarck, where to-
day he is to appear before the state
board of pardons for the purpose of
asking Communication of sentence for
Till to fifteen years. Should the board
see fit to grant the petition. Till will
receive his release In a short time. he
having served twelve years already
and has some time off for good be-
havior.
The innocence or guilt of Josef Till
has long been a question of consider
able importance in Pembina county,
where the killing occurred and there
are many there who believe that he
should never have been convicted. On
the other hand. there are many who
claim that he should serve life SEN
tence. Those who profess to believe
in the innocence of the condemned
man claim that the evidence that was
brought against him was through the
efforts of Hungarians in that section
of the state who sought to thus pro-
tect the real criminal.

Illinois Sheriff Passes Through
City With Man Wanted for
Murder.

Sheriff R. H. Richardson of Bloom
ington, ILL.,, passed through Grand
Forks yesterday enroute east from
Minot with man named R. E. Baker,
who is wanted in Illinois for murder.
and whose arrest was accomplished
this week at Minot.
1t appears that Baker is charged
with murder in the first degree. The
man who was murdered is named
Harry Hay. resident of Baker. Ill.
Hays body was found last December
about three miles from Bloomington
in horrible condition and indications
pointed to the use of a hammer or
some blunt instrument.
Hay and Bakers wife were rather
intimate and the story goes that Baker
in fit of jealousy killed Hay. Baker
was arrested last winter for the crime
but was released because of lack of
evidence. After his release and while
in an intoxicated condition he is said
to have stated to certain parties that
he was the man who did the killing.
Further evidence tending to prove the
truth Of the statement has recently
come to light.

Nelson County Mans Petition
Of Candidacy Turned Down
Because of Hardness.

In Nelson county case Judge Fisk
held yesterday that county auditor
need not accept a petition for the
primary election after Office hours on
the last day for filing such petitions.
The case that reached the district
court was brought by liver Orwick,
who made application for a writ of
mandamus to compel County Auditor
Telander to receive and file his petition
as candidate for delegate to the re-
publican state convention at James,
town. This petition was rendered after
10 o'clock p. m. of May 20, the last
day for filing petitions. The auditor
refused to accept the petition claiming
that 1t was too late.
Judge Fisk denied the application,
and held that it was too late to file
the petition. unless the auditor felt like
accepting it after Office hours.
