At municipal election one is brought
face to face with the fact that politics
makes strange bed fellows.
Ten votes were challenged in the First
Ward and twice as many in the Second.
For the first time in history the Third
was the quietest precinct in the city.
1t took less than 300 votes to decide
Mondays election, but there were easily
10000 ballots on hand at the polls and
in the hands of the workers for the two
tickets.
Judge E. A. Farrell re elected as police
magistrate, did not vote. He was at
home in bed laid up With rheumatism
on election day but the outcome demon
strated Eds popularity.
The council meets at the city hall on
Tuesday, the 18th. when Mayor Kopri-
va and the newly elected aldermen

slbilities of municipal government.

On the result of Mondays election
anywhere from $500 to $1,000 was wager
ed in amounts ranging from five
dollar bill to $50. Both sides claimed
cinch and few bets were made on
maiorities and no odds given
Down in Ida Grove, Ia, the result of
the mayoralty election was tie and
they tipped coin to decide who was
to be mayor. The contest was close and
hardly fought here in Langdon on Mon
day, but 1t wasn't necessary to do that.
Geo. W. Price had an easy wallzaway
Monday in his election as city justice.
1t is his first introduction into the politi-
cal arena since coming here and CHS
honor is accredited with having done
some effective worl. for the success Of
the ticket that won out.
There is something in the way of &
difference or hitch between the laws of
the Dominion of Canada and the United
States which precluded the casting
OF ballots by several Langdon residents
who would much have liked to have
participated in Mondays election. As
a general rule. however, they put IN the
day watching the other fellows.

Mondays Election Hotiy Contested
In all Three Wards.

Mondays election brought out the
voting strength of Langdon to its full
limit and throughout the day interest
was easily seen to centre itself on the
fight for mayor, that being the only
point Of opposition except in the Second
ward where NJ. Kelly and A. T. Gardner
were running neck and neck for the
honors as alderman. The latter win
ming out by majority of 10 votes. For
mayor the Kopriva and Mcmillan forces
both claimed victory from the time
the polls opened until the votes had all
been counted. It was certainly the
liveliest city election that Langdon has
ever seen. The canvass Of the vote
shows the following result:

Till body found!
Weller Victim 0! q Bullet lie Was
Shot at FroM Behind.
WAS BR(JTAll&I KILLED
WeiIer's Body Found Near Snowflake
on Monday After Being Missed for
Five Months Doyle is Wanted by
Canadian Police for the Murder.

On Tuesday morning there was con
siderable excitement in town when it
became known that the body of Vincent
Weller, had been found near the town of
Snowflake, Man, with a bullet hole
through his head: the location of the
wound and direction taken by the bullet
clearly indicating that he had been shot
from behind.
Yesterday States Attorney Price and
Attorney w. e. Dickson returned from
the scene of the murder, where they
viewed the body, proved by competent
witnesses and conclusive evidence its
identification as that of Weller and at
tended an inquest conducted by the
Canadian authorities at which verdict
was brought in to the effect that the
man came to his death from a bullet
fired from gun in the hands of Martin
Doyle.
The finder Of the body of Weller was
George S. Lane, farmer living about 4
miles east of Snowflake, who made the
discovery Monday evening while going
through the woods and underbrush
along the Pemblna river. He had a
rifle with him in hopes of finding a
lynx. He saw in front of him an object
that looked like a fur bearing animal,
which upon investigation proved to be
the body of dead man in a wambat
coat.
| Since leaving Dresden week ago last
Saturday with the announced intention
of going to Battleford, Saslk., the accus-
ed man, Doyle, has been seen at Grand
Forks and Winnipeg, and was seen last
at the latter place on Saturday. The
| Canadian police, however, claim t. have
had Doyle shadowed for some time and
only awaited the finding of the verdict
by the jury at the coroner's inquest to
place Doyle under arrest.
| The body of Weller has been turned
over to his relatives and friends by the
authorities IN Canada and is being
brought to his hcme at Mt. Carmel to-
day. The funeral it Is understood will
take place tomorrow.
The body of Vincent Weller aged Al
years, whose disappearance from his
farm at Mt. Carmel early last November,
has been mystery, was found Monday
morning IN the brush near Snowflake,
across the line in Man toba, with u
bullet hole through the head.
The disappearance of Weller has been
one of the mysteries of the northern
part OF the state, and the finding of his
body has not entirely cleared up the

Every article we sell is Guaranteed to b

mystery. although it proves the con
he was the victim Of foul play, and had
been murdered.
Weller was not naturally bright, and
lived by himself on 2 farm at Mt
Carmel He visited the village of Snow
fake occasionally, and was last seen at
that place in company OF Mat Doyle
The two walked into the country from
Snowflake one evening in November.
and that was the last seen of Weller.
Doylc returned, and it was several days
before Weiler's neighbors became alarm
ed at his absence. Soon after this d
deed was filed in Langdon transferring
the farm OF Vincent Weller to son of
Mat Doyle, for consideration Of 5000.
Suspicion then pointed toward the elder
Doyle. and he was arrested on a
charge ofkidnaping The friends OF Wei
ler claiming that Doyle had either done
away with Weller or had induced him
to move to claia in the Northwest
Territory, which Weller had spoken of
doing occasionally. There was but little
evidence to show that Doyle was guilty
of the charge brought against him, and
he was released under a bond. Those
who became impressed with the belief
that the coming spring would result in
the finding OF the dead body of Weller.
have kept close watch in the neighbor-
hood Of both Snowflake and Mt. Carmel
and Monday their search was rewarded
by finding the body of the dead man,
hidden in some brush along the creek
Doyle was seen in Grand Forks
last week and at that time made partial
arrangements for the services of an at
torney to defend him on the kidnapping
charge, making a date to return
and close the arrangement the latter
part of this month. He stated then that
he was on his way to the Northwest
Territory.
A reward offered by Cavalier county
parties for the location of Weller or the
finding of his body has led a number to
make searches for the missing man at
various times since his disappearance.
but owing to the deep snow and the fro
zen streams in the neighborhocd the
searches were never thorough.
1t is likely that Weiler's neighbors at
Mt Carmel will take steps to apprehend
Doyle on the more serious charge that
may be brought against him, now that
the body of Weller has been found, with
every indication that he was murdered

have been in this business a good many years. and you are the first man who ever took the trouble to say good word to me for an operator. But romplalnts2 why. there seem to be a million women in this city who have nothing else to do.'
 It Is no temper-soothing job--that which the telephone operator holds It's the same in Muskogee as in New York.
 She is held responsible not only for her own mistakes, but for the thou sands of mistakes made by other peo- pie.
 You carelessly call for 1885 waen what you really want is 1895. and be- cause you get the wrong party you petulantly blame the fool operator" that she gave you 1885 when you ask ed for 1895, and that if she ever does 1t again you win make complaint against her, you feel slighted because she does not say thank you"
 You roughly jar your telephone and your nerves if she does not answer Instantly; you think she Is teasing you when she tells ylou the line you want is busy; and perhaps you more than half suspected she Is listening to all you say over the line.
 She Is a sadly misjudged girl Her work is difficult and her errors mar velously few. She has no time for un- necessary words, though she is as po- lite as the public win permit her to be.
 Yet she patiently does the best she can for you, and that Is often better than YOU deserve.
 Don't imagine you are distinguish Ing yourself by complaining against her. Thousands have been ahead of you. But say q word in her favor at the right place and you stand alone with an approving conscience.
