Of the King and the Queen---Many Bomb Victims

Madrid, June 1.-The officials here
arc beginning to believe that the two
bombs We're thrown at the king and
the queen yesterday and that the mis-
siles exploded simultaneously with
one vivid crash.
The scene which followed was like
one witnessed on battlefield.
Corpses, pools of blood and wreck
age were strewn on the ground.
The front of the house, No. SO Ma
yor street, before which the explosion
occurred, was covered with holes and
blood dripped from the curtains of a
window on the first floor.
/, In the apartment of the Duke of AL
umeda, Marchioness Tolosa and her
daughter were killed. One body was
jammed in the balcony railing and
was removed with difficulty.
No. 8S Mayor and all nearby houses
were surrounded by the police who
prevented ingress and egress, until
they had been thoroughly searched.

NECESSITY FOR DRAINAGE.
President AsheI Urges Red River Val
ley Farmers to Act.

Grafton, N. d. May 29.-To the
farmers Of the Red river valley: The
conditions prevailing this spring and
the results from last summer fully
demonstrates the necessity for drain
age. While / feel confident that next
year will find us prepared for active
work under a new law, with financial
aid either through a loan from the
government, or from state funds at a
low rate of interest, at the Same time
would urgently recommend that you
proceed and put in all the drains pos
sibie this year, utilizing as far as con-
sistent the Typographical surveys
made by the government engineers.
Although the expenses and rates Of
interest may be higher now than in
the future, even so the extra pro-
ceeds from one crop, after drainage,
might pay more than the difference
besides the work Will be done
Drainage Is the solution of the
prosperity OF this valley and the soon
er that is accomplished. the earlier we
will receive fruits from our labors
BY way Of uniform yields, and better
prices for our lands
DO not postpone until next year
what can and should be done this
year
We pursued a dilatory course In the
past and what are the results? Let
Us profit from ounsnegligence and go
to work.
Respectfully requested.

TILL WANTS PARDON
ANOTHER EFFORT TO SECURE
FREEDOM FOR TILL.
Pembina Murderer viii Once More
Ask the Board of Pardons to Give
Him His Freedom--story Of the
Crime.

Bismarck, N. D., June 1.--Tracy r.
Bangs appears before the state board
of pardons and asks that the life sem
tence of Josef Till be commuted to if-
teen years.
Till was convicted on circumstan-
tial evidence in Pembina county Of the
murder of his cousin, Henry Miller,
and was sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
Till is Hungarian. as was his al
legged victim, and Mr.. Bangs is repre-
senting the Austria Hungary consul In
asking that the sentence be commut-
ed. The Till case was one of the
murder cases in North Dakota that
has attracted wide attention.
The murder of Miller occurred eight
or nine days after Josef Till had ar
rived in Pembina county from Hun
gary, being accompanied to this coun-
try by Mrs Miller, who came to join
her husband, who had been in this
country several years. A few days
after their arrival the body of Miller
was found on the farm of man nam
ed Bedois.
Till was arrested, tried and convict

it being claimed that jealousy was the
motive of the crime. After Till had
been sentenced to life imprisonment
friends took up his case with the Hun
garian government, and a few years
ago pardon was asked for Till, but
at the time was denied. Judga
Morgan was a member Of the pardon
board at thetime, and he was the man
who prosecuted the case against TIL

and Henry Bowles.
Should THIS sentence be commuted
to fifteen years Imprisonment he
would secure his freedom within a
short time, computing his time for
good behavior
The innocence or guilt of Josef Till
has long been a question Of consider
able importance in Pembina coun-
ty. where the killing occurred and
there are many there who believe that
Till should never have been convicted.
On the other hand there are many WHO
claim that he should serve a life sem
tence. Those who profess to bcllevs
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.

ALLEGED MURDERER.
Illinois Man Arrested at Minot and
Taken Back East.

Minot. N. D., June 1.--R. E. Baker
was arrested in this city yesterday on
a charge for a crime which he is sup
posed to have committed in Illinois.
r. III. Richardson, sheriff from Bloom
ington, ILL.,, arrived in the city yes
terday and he. assisted by the local
police found Baker and arrested him,
and the sheriff took him back to Illi-
nois last night. It appears that Ba-
ker is charged with murder in the
first degree. The man who was MUIR
dered was Harry Hay, who lived ltal.
Baker. His body was found Eist De-
cember about three miles from Bloom4
ington in a horrible condition, show
ing that he had been killed by some
one with a hammer. Hay and Bak-
er's wife We're rather intimate and it lis
thought that Baker committed the
deed from jealousy. Baker was arr
rested last winter on charge of MUIR
der but there was no evidence at that
time sufficient to hold him, after his
release one day in an intoxicated con-
dition he revealed the fact that he was
the murderer and since then further
evidence has been secured against
him. Baker returned with the sher-
If last night without any objection to

the death of his wife, was one of those
who arrived and the guards at first
refused to admit him. Finally, how
ever, he was allowed to enter and a
heart scene followed.
/. The coolness of the young king was
marvellous. On reaching the palace
after the explosion he sent adjutants
to assist the wounded and later sent
officers among the families of the vic
TINS, doing everything possible to
condole with and assist the sufferers.
Queen Christiana, the Prince and
Princess of Wales and the Archduke
and the Archduchess Francis Ferdi-
nand of Austria had already reached
the palace and were waiting for the
king and queen with the infantas.
When some time elapsed without the
royal coach appearing. the Prince of
Wales and Infanta Theresa, who stood
waiting at the palace entrance, be-
came deeply anxious and they were
more disturbed when they saw the
empty coach arrive with it's bloody
horses. But the royal family were
finally relieved when they saw the
king and queen arrive.
Queen Christina embraced them and.
uttered her deep thankfulness at their
escape. 1t is asserted that letters were
received at the government quarters
last night saying this would not be
the last attempt as band of conspir-

PETITION roo LATE.
Nelson County Man Was Tardy in

Lakota, NJ. D., June 1.--Judge Fisk
held yesterday that a county auditor
need not accept a petition for the pri-
mary election after office hours on the
last day for filing such petitions.
The case that reached the district
court was brought by Iver Orwick,
who made application for writ of
mandamus to compel County Auditor
Telander to receive and file his petit
tion as a candidate for delegate to the
republican state convention at James,
town. This petition was rendered aft
er 10 o'clock p. m. Of May 20, the last
day for filing petitions. The auditor
refused to accept the petition claim
ing that it was too late.
Judge Fisk denied the application.
and held that 1t was too late to file
the petition, unless the auditor felt
like accepting 1t after Office hours.

Grand Forks, N. D., June 1.--George
Taylor has been in Grand Forks sew
eral days in the interests of his broth
er, j. w, Taylor who nearly two years
ago was sentenced to term of seven
and a half years at Bismarck.
Taylor was sentenced under the
name of G. H. Foster, and with R. G..
Hicks and G.. II. Bradford were ar
rested at Minot on a charge of robbing
a Great Northern passenger named
Perry on an overland train between
this city and Niagara. They were
brought back here and strong cases
made against them. Foster was sent
enced to seven and half years, Hicks
to eight and half years and Bradford
to nine and a half years. States At
torney Wineman has declined to rec
ommend communication of the sent
ence of Foster at this time. AS a
petition to the board Of Dardons with
out the signature OF the prosecutor
would be of little value, it is hardly
likely that anything will be done now
looking to the lessening of the time
fixed in the sentence imposed by
Judge Fisk year ago last December
Judge Fisk declined to agree to any
reduction of the sentence until Foster
had at least served two years Of the
term imposed. George Taylor lives at
Columbus, o., and he was acconpan-
led to Grand Forks by Mrs. J. w.
Taylor and son. wife and son of the
man who under the name Of c. III

vote on the Smoot case. He has been
deluged with messages and has replied
he will come, unless positively prohi-

In a letter received yesterday De-
pew says he would like to make fa-
Vorable appearance in the senate. He
says his health, steadily growing
worse, will not permit him to attend
another session.
He describes himself as in first-class
condition physically, except that his
medical advisers cannot control the
nervous disorders that followed the
mental anxiety which came upon him
in the insurance troubles. He takes
long walks every day, has kept his
weight, sleeps well when tired, but
cannot overcome a tendency to grow
excited at times.

AMONG THE szoRos. !.

Under the heading Preparing the Moros for Government" Major R. LA Bullard. of Alabama. has very in- teresting paper Tn the March issue of The Atlantic Monthly, detailing some of his experiences and observations in Mindanao, in the Philippine Islands. He tells of the perfectly chaotic con- dition in which our army found the Malanaos. as these Moros call them selves. and of the dimculties he and those with him had in bringing any thing approaching order and quiet among them. They were a wild and savage people, divided into numerous tribes and suhtribes. with sultans. rajas, dattoes and other nominal rulers, but each was to large extent a law unto himself, and about the only influence they acknowledged was the fear pro- duced by actual or threatened force. Really. they had no government de- serving the name. and were as thor ough specimens of untamed savagery as could be found anywhere. Their country was a mountainous and track less extent of forests and wilderness, practically impossible for civilized men.
 It may well be imagined what an al- most hopeless task 1t was for our forces to lick suck people into anything ap- preaching quiet and orderly govern ment, and Major Bullards details of his own experiences are highly inter- esting. One of the first things our troops attempted was road building, and this work fell to the soldiers. especial iy at first. Like most savages these Moros disdained all kinds of manual labcr. and in the beginning it was inn possible to get any of them to do any kind of work. By the exercise of much patience, perseverance and firm ness. and by showing the Moros how the money they received in wages would enable them to purchase from the whito people many things they were so anxious to possess. they were finally able to obtain some help from them as laborers and carriers. and eventually succeeded in building pass munition and other necessaries brought from the coast. Major Bullard closes his paper by saying that government and civilization have gained upon them." but recent events show that the gain has not been very great.
