the effect that plot against the life
OF the Pope had been discovered in

sons-tWo men and a Woman-are
now in Rome for that purpose. Ae-
cording to the information received
the trio were to make the attempt

from then, just as the opportunity
should deyelope. Immediately upon
receipt of the information the Rome
police got busy and began searching
the hotels and boarding houses for
the Frenchmen and woman of whom
they have a good description. They
have also notified the Vatican of this
and every precaution will be taken to
prevent any person not authorized
from getting near the Pontif. All
persons concerned have been In
structed to keep the matter quiet in
the hope that the parties to the plot
can be taken. No attempt On the
Pope's life was made yesterday. UT

said he would.
Clashes with Marquis.
The next day the cattle were being
driven in the pens of the packing
plant. The marquis rode up to Roose-
welt as he was bossing the job.
"I'm very sorry, Mr.. Roosevelt, but
I can't give you 6A for those CATTLE"
he said.
"Why not? that was the agreement"
demanded Roosevelt.
"The Chicago market is lower to-
day, that's why" retorted the French
man.
"You said '6A' not current quota
tions,'" declared Roosevelt.
"Well, won't give it," holly replied
the marquis.
Drive them out again, Merriield,"
was Roosevelt's curt order to his
ranch foreman, few weeks ago ap-
pointed a United States marshal.
From necessity, in such a, smalk
town, he and the marquis subsequent
ly met frequently, but there was never
any cordiality between them. The
hard winter Of 1856 caused the death
of IS per cent of the live stock of the
country, and impelled Roosevelt to
sell his properties and return to New.

Last Wednesday was the tenth ami
versary of the day on which Marquis
de Mores gave up his life in. a bloody
struggle in the Sahara desert.
All of the actors in the scene have
scattered. Many of the workmen in
the fated packing plant are working
in the Chicago stockyards. Arthur T..
Packard, president of the Chicago
Envelope company, published the Bad
Lands Cowboy, the village newspaper
Of Medora, in those days, and from
him comes the strongest refutation of
the story that President Roosevelt
was interested in the De Mores pack
ing plant or that Chicago interests
forced that concern to the wall.

SALE OF SHORTnORNS.
Highest Price Was $500. for a Prize
Winning RuII-Bidding Not
Spirited.

Fargo Forum: The arena Of the
large stock barn at the A. C. presented
a lively appearance for several hours
yesterday afternoon while the fifth
annual combination sale of shorthorns
was in progress. About forty head of
selected shorthorn cattle, the very
best to be found in the state were
offered for sale. The sale was we'll
attended, the pavilion being comfort
ably filled throughout and there were
number of cattle raisers and farm
ers present but the crowd did not
seem to be in buying mood and al
though at times the bidding was
rather lively it required considerable
exertion on the part of the auctioneer
to work up enthusiasm. The sales
made were at comparatively low
prices, in spite that the cream of
North Dakota shorthorns had been
placed on the block.
Several of the best sales made were
on mail bids. Victor of Springdale, a
large red bull, winner of several
premiums at stock exhibits and state
fairs brought the highest price, $500.
He was sold on a mail bid to George
Jacobson of Hickson.
The other sales at prices over 800
were as follows:
Julia Donahey, owned by E. G. But

His Favor

Berlin, June 11.--Wm. j. Bryan to-
day expressed surprise when Informed
of his endorsement for the democratic
nomination for president by a number
of state conventions. AS to the posi-.
bility of accepting the nomination if
rendered he had little to say, declaring
it too early to speak Of. that question.
He discussed the political require
ments Of the day at length and de-
clared the democratic platform must

president Roosevelt did not have
cent in the de Mores packing venture,
and, in fact, was so strongly opposed
to it that, against my will, he con-
WINGED me that it would be failure"
said Mr.. Packard. ssEvery cent in
vested in the concern was from the
pockets of Baron Won Hoffman. The
Chicago packing concerns were more
amused than Inconvenience by the
scheme and did nothing to drive it
from the field. Consequently Presi-
dent Roosevelt cannot have even a
sentimental motive for avenging the
financial failure of the marquis.
Every practical person knew that fat
cattle could be secured in that coun-
try for only four months of the year.
The marquis was no business man.
Instead of selling his product on the
open market he shipped it to Nelson
Morris in Chicago

Is Sent to Prison.
In 1883, the marquis was exploring
India and Tonquin, with project of
building a railroad to China. He re-
turned to France and plunged into the
Boulanger agitation. He was leader
of the anti-Seniitic movement, was i'm
prisoned for three months in 1891, and
fought a number of duels, killing
Captain Meyer and five others at diff
ferent times.
After the death of General Boulang-
er, the marquis went to Morocco,
where he lived for two years preced-
ing the fatal expedition. English au-
thorities say the de Mores venture
was part of the French expedition
in which Marchand, going up the Nile,
succeeded in arousing the native
tribes against the British. De Mores
started overland from Morocco. The
French say his mission was a peaceful
one of commerce to persuade the
caravans coming from Lake Tchad to
make Algiers and Tunis, instead of
Tripoli and Morocco, their destina-
tions.
At ell Ouatia, in the midst of the
desert, his caravan was met by one of
Turks. The Turks were robbers, but
he did not know this. He accepted

Meet with Difficulties.
The plant started operation in the
fall of 1883, and the next year Roose-
welt went to that section. He had
two ranches on the Little Missouri
river, ten miles above and thirty miles
below Medora In four months all
the available fat cattle in that part of
the country had been butchered, and

practicable Baron Won Hoffman closed
the plant until the next fall. It then
ran another four months and closed

were on decidedly chilly terms. After
his first roundup Roosevelt one day
called at the office of the sfBad Lands
Cowboy" and announced that he was
going to ship four cars of cattle to
Chicago. The marquis, who was sit
ting there, offered to buy them on the
spot at the Chicago price.
"You can have them and I'll gain

Congress adjourned one day and
President Roosevelt called it to meet
again the next day. A bill was intro
duced to give all members of congress
mileage to their homes and back
again when they didn't travel one
mile. When asked about it, Mr..
S. aiding said the mileage grab was
really not worth talking about. Let
us see. Aren't some marshals from
the northern part of the state serving
terms in the penitentiary for charging
mileage they did not travel?
The people here had hoped Mr..
Spalding would deny that he voted to
pay himself $500 for a trip he did not
make. d.. ~
Mr.. Spalding claimed that all but
five members of congress voted for
the mileage grab. This is not true.
AS a matter of fact the Infamous bill
was beaten in the house by the honest
members and never reached the SEN
ate. Isn't that reform, and do. you
want such reform to control the state?
Can such charge be made against
state officer, or member of what they
call the gang? Mo, sir!
Mr.. Spalding admitted that he had
voted for the mileage steal" but de-
sired the mantle Of charity thrown
over him while he tried his best to de-
feat lot of state officials who he ad-
mitted have never been accused of a
dishonest act.
Mr.. Spalding stated in his address
that he had fought the state gang
since 1882. He also claimed that the
gang had always named the state
ticket without consulting the people
Now the question arises "How did
Mr.. spalding serve four years in con-
gress-did the gang name him or is it
true that the gang let's the people
name the ticket?"
Speak up Mr.. SpaIding.
Mr.. spalding claimed that his vote
to admit Canadian wheat free of duty
was not worth talking about.
