HOW HE PROSECUTED.
Wilton, n. D. June II, 1906

EDITOR LEADER:
[ see by the Garrison Indepen-
dent that that man Cracker Jack"
McCulloch is making a number
of insinuations regarding things
by asking sis it or is it not a fact.
I have a little matter in mind that
I know Of having transpired when
MIR. McCulloch held down the
states attorneyship in this county,
and would ask:
lis it or is it not fact that while
J.T. McCulloch was states attorney
of this county a certain Jew tailor
deserted his wife in Michigan and
came to Washburn with an sban-
doned woman and lived together
as nan and wife for some months?
And is it or is it not a fact that
when the deserted wife reached
Bismarck from Michigan in search
Of her recreant husband without
money and without friends she
was assisted by some Of the
best people in Bismarck who
wired Mr.. McCulloch and Sheriff
Gradin to detain the husband and
McCulloch after an interview with
the husband refused to issue the
necessary papers and thereby pre-
vented the sheriff from holding the
man md that the husband Vas
permitted to absent himself. And
is it or is it not a fact that States
Attorney McCulloch met the de-
serted wife on her arrival at the
depot at Washburn and there pub
licly with the assistance Of a woman
of bad character, who acted as in
terpreter, he tried to the utmost Of
his power to intimidate andfright-
en- the wife into returning home
and leaving Washburn without her
husband and without seeing him.
Did or did not practically all the
respectable people Of Washburn
come to the assistance Of the dis
tressed wife both with money and
sympathy during her stay here OF
q week awaiting all opportunity w
see her husband? Did or did not
her husband after his wife's de,
parture and after his return to town
hold repeated interviews with the
states attorney and did Mr.. Nc
culloch not act his attorney in set
Ting up his affairs prior to his de,
parture from Washburn? Anc
did Mr. States Attorney McCul
loch ever at any time offer any ex
PLANTATION to any person Of his un
pardonable conduct except that HI
was not going to wash the "dirt.
linen of other states in our courts.
If SO it would be pleasing to hav'
information.

NO SUCH A MAN
FOR SHERIFF.

The article in last weeks Leader by a
German Worthwhile not at all edifying
to the mind or to u better nature is
we'll worth re-reading and bordering
over-although the subject matter deals
with much that is uncanny in mans
nature in these opening days Of this goth
century, but it also shows tie better
mood as exenrpli6ed by the good ladies
and some citizens of DeuhOff.
The pictures as here presented-both
light and shade-are deep lined and not
easily effaced. Even as yet-we have
since been infosmed-the facts were not
all laid bare-that much that is grew
some is yet to be told.
We offer no excuse for she man Fast
that he allowed himself to be e~nveigled
in making perjured evidence to help a
supposed friend. Others have done the
same-and others will continue to NOPE
along the same path Of danger and dis
grace. In the consequence Of his act as
now exposed Fast had the n Of two al
ternatives, viz: absence in fugitive flight
or absence as a convict in the Bismarck
p%enitentiary. Either as a fugitive or a
prison inmate he would be absent from
his family and they must drift alone on
the billowy crest-a ruderless craft ina
seething sea.
For in the flight Of the husband and
father, the struggle of the mother with
her babes and little ones commenced
and all who are familiar with our long
winters car get al impress Of a lone
snow bound shack with a toiling mother
and her five little furtive faced charges
within. She had beeh told by wandering
gossipers that her husband never dare to
return to her again, that she had no
right to the land she was living on, and
finally came the summons served on her
that her land was being contested and
ejectment papers liable to be served at
any time. With this neglect and studied
persecution, is it any wonder then that
the mind of this woman could no longer
bear the strain land was giving way. 1t
was her children now, They had taken
her land. She became haunted with a
fear of herself and little ones, so that
when her pitiful case reached some of
Denhoff's sympathetic citizens and some
necessarles Of life was taken to her, and
on their approach, she huddled herself
and the little bare heads and bare foot
tots inside the shack and barred shut
the doors in alright like hunted beings
brought to bay.
The Office Of county sheriff is a re-
sponsible position and not only requires
a courageous man but n with sound
and healthy judgment, tempered with
justice and mercy, and withal some Of
the milk of human kindness in his
makeup. This being so, and after a
careful second reading Of the account
Of all the circumstances connected with
the deserted family Of John B. Fast as
told by "A German Voter" we believe
the people Of Mclean County will not
want such a man as John Beck fol
Sheriff.

HILL Wins
New President Chosen for
the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas

New York, Nov 2S.-The election of
Adrian H. Joline as president of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas company
to succeed F. NJ. Finney, resigned, is
generally regarded as a step toward
the turning over of the old RockefeI-
Ter property to James j. Hill and the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road. Following Mr.. Joline's election
James N. Wallace and ]. G. Metcalf
were elected directors and members
of the executive committee.
Mr.. Joline is not closely identified
with Mr.. Hill or his properties, but
both he and Mr.. Wallace represent the
Central Trust company interests,
which have been very strongly identi-
fed with Missouri, Kansas and Texas
interests since the Speyers became in
terested in the road J. G. Metcalf
represents the Speyer interests on the
board. It is believed that the officers
have been merely elected to conduct
the roads financial affairs until the
new control, whatever it may be, as
serts itself.
The recent activity and strength of
both the common and preferred stocks
of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in
the market have been accompanied by
troll Of the property is being sought or
has already been acquired in the in
terests of the Hill railroads.

Penalty for Accepting Rebates From
New York Central.
New York, Nov. 28.-A fine OF $1S,-
900 has been imposed upon the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company by Judge
Holt in the United States circuit
court for accepting rebates from the
New York; Central Railroad company.
The company was allowed sixty
days to prepare to appeal the case.
The rebates amounted to $4,000.
Prior to imposition Of the sentc-ce
T. K. McIlvaine, the defendants co IN
sci, made lengthy argument in sup
rort Of his motion for an arrest OF
Judgment. He ccntended that the
contract made with the New YORK
Central by Lowell NJ. Palmer, thrc--gh
which the rebates were granted, cc',4d
not be held to be binding crlm!nclly
upon the defendant. Judge Holt. in
the course of the discussion, observed
that in his opinion Mr.. Palmer could.
under the interstate commerce act, as
superseded by the Elkins act, have
been indicted, tried and convicted for
soliciting the rebates. Under the for
mer enactment he would, upon convic-
ton, have been imprisoned, said Judge
Holt, while Under the Elkins act fine
only could be imposed.

Intense Feeling Aroused by Action Of British Educational
Bil---WII Of the People Vetoed by the
Upper House Of Parliament

London, Nov. 2S.-The intensity of
the political feeling aroused by the
house of lords treatment Of the edu-
cation bill found expression in an
emergency meeting of the general
committee Of the National Liberal fed
Grafton, at which a resolution was
unanimously adopted urging the gov
eminent to take the drastic step Of
totally rejecting the lords amend
ments to the bill and to "resolutely
determine that the present parliament
shall not come to an end until steps
are taken to bring to final arbitra-
ment the question whether the house
Of peers should any longer possess
the right of veto ON the will of the
people as declared by the house of
commons"
The meeting was the largest and
most representative of its kind which
had assembled during the last twenty
years.
The speakers warmly denounced
the action Of the peers, declaring that
the house of commons should not
waste another day in considering the
amendments to the bill, which should
be returned to the house of lords with.
out debate, and that the Liberal gov.
eminent ought to apply the only rem
edy, which must be drastic and final

Director of Education Discusses Phil.
ippine Conditions.
San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-Dr. D. P.
Barrows, director of education of the
Philippines. was passenger on the
steamer Siberia, just arrived from the
Orient. In speaking of the condition
of the islands Barrows said:
"The islands are in a good condi-
ton, generally speaking. The polit-
ical situation there at the present
time is the best it has ever been. The
provincial government is in good
hands. There are about forty native
governors for as many different prov
inces. They are serious and intelli-
gent men and at the recent conference
held in Manila they showed them
selves to understand the situation in
the islands and to fully appreciate the
attitude of the United States. While
all these governors but one are native
they all srcak and understand Eng
fish.
From an economic standpoint, how
ever, the islands are not in what
would call a good condition. This is
occasioned by the fact that there is
no market for their sugar and tobacco,
These. of course, are their principal
staples. They, however, have a good
market for copra and abaca and from
these gain their main revenue" .5

the soldiers of three companies of
the TWenty-fifth infantry, who were
discharged without honor because or
the trouble at Brownsville, Tex, came
before President Roosevelt during the
day when Charles w. Anderson, COL
lector of internal revenue at New
York, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary
to Booker I. Washington, called upon
him in behalf of the discharged men.
They made an earnest argument in
behalf of the claims of the innocent
men of the companies, who want to be
reinstated. They had no particular
programme of action to present to the
president and the latter gave no indi-
cation Of what his future course might
be except to reiterate his statement
that he would consider any new facts
which might be presented.

question Major Penrose issued an or

town that ali men should be IN by 8

Captain Mackin, officer of the day, re-
ported that all men were In except

'Third-That the firing that night
was of mixed arms.
''All the inspectors sent out from
the war department have started out
with the assumption that there was a
conspiracy among the men to keep
back the truth and shoot up the town.
They have never made any investfga-
ton into the real facts. From the In
vestigation there was undoubtedly a
conspiracy to make case against
the soldiers and get them out of the
town. Six sergeants Of long service,
and in whom the commissioned Off
GERS have implicit confidence, are go
ing to Washington with me to act as
witnesses before President Roose-
velt." i III tz y III 4. 4.
