THE APPOINTMENT by Con-

THE APPOINTMENT by Con-
gresham Hogg of Ollie Thorson as
postmaster of Glenwood Springs is not
without political significance. 1t
shows commendable disposition on
the part of our congressman to be gov
erned by the party organization in
stead of taking matters entirely in his
own hands or listening to one man
who does not represent the party. as
is too often the case. 1t is now clear
that when Mr.. Hogg, at the congress
sional convention in Glenwood year
ago, agreed to hereafter be governed
in his appointments by the recon-
mendations of the party organization,
he meant just what he said, and no
better fulfilment of that promise
could be asked than the appointment

THE SENTENCE FOR LIFE las

week uf two boys in Colorado Springs
for the murder of Mr. Scott, should
furnish food for reflection to those
who are charged with the serious re-
sponsibilities of training their own
boys along the lines of decency and
manhood as well as to those who feel
an interest in other peoples boys and
the general good of the community in
which they live-and it would seem
that this should include everyone in
every community in Colorado. Here
were two boys who were cigarette
fiends, and this is almost invariably
the beginning of bad career. Then
they were allowed to run the streets
at night. Then they formed the
habit Of carrying weapons-an mex
cusable and absolutely senseless habit
for men or boys. And there you have
a terrible combination. A brain--o
what passes for brain-fred by occa-

The moral sensibilities stupefied by
indulgence in cigarettes. The pas

known as dime literature, desire to
play the bandit and acquire money
in the bandits way, growing will
ingness to take the risk and, finally,
murder and the open doors of the

so MUCH HAS been said recentl,

concerning forest reserves and grazing
fees that one would suppose these
were the only issues of interest to the
stockmen, but in the sessions this
week OF the two big stock associations
which were married in Denver and
thus became one, but the scantest
mention is made Of these questions.
Other matters, apparently of greater
moment to the stock interests of the
country, monopolized the time of the

sion Of local issues.

Has Portion of Libby Prison.

Mrs. Ed Long of Surrey has a
relic which she prizes highly and
which she would not part with
for good deal of money. It is
a piece of a plank from the fa-
NOUS Libby prison at Richmond,
Va, and was given Mrs. Long
when on visit to the prison in
1881. Mrs. Longs father was
chief of the Cleveland, O., fire
department at the time and she
accompanied him to Richmond,
where a firemen's tournament
was being held.
The old prison was being used
for a tobacco factory at that time
but later was removed to Chica-
go and exhibited at the worlds
fair. This is the prison where
thousands of poor soldiers from
the north lost their lives for a
want of proper water and food.
The rebel officers were very
cruel, oftimes kicking the poor
soldiers because they were too
weak to get out Of the way of
those officers. The piece of wood
Mrs. Long has, is oak, and it is
extremely we'll preserved.

Stanley Girl a Suicide.

Miss Lizzie Erickson, aged 25
years, killed herself at the home
of her brother three miles north
OF Stanley Saturday evening".
She has been despondent since
the death OF her mother a year
ago and recently the man whom
she was about to marry died.
This with the fact that she was
unable to visit her former home
in Minnesota, probably unbal-
anced her mind.
The brother had gone to the
barn, after his supper Saturday
evening to do the chores, and
heard a report of a gun. Re-
turning to the house, he saw the
remains OF his sister on the floor,
and his shotgun lying by hel'
side. The funeral was held at
Stanley Sunday.

perty into his wife's name, John
Bolan of this city, who has en-
joyed married life only one short
week, was so severely mauled by
his wife that he is in a serious
condition.
Rev. Father Gallahue was
brought into police court to ans,
wer to the charge of assault and
battery and pleaded not guilty:
Bolan swore that both the priest
and his wife tried to get him to
deed the property to her, and
upon his refusal they set upon
him and pounded him until he
was unconscious. The wife, for
the apparent reason of shielding
Gallahue, testified that she only
pounded Bolan. Notwithstand-
ing the court saw fit to impose a
fine upon the parson.

AWFUL DEATH

Yesterday about noon one of
the most shocking accidents in
the history Of Barnes county oc-
Cured on the farm Of VIM.
Ayers, some twelve miles north
of the city, which resulted in the
death of Charles Ford this morn
ing about 6 o'clock. Ford was
running threshing engine, the
property of John Alderman, VIM.
Ayers and other farmers in that
locality, when his clothing caught
on fire and he burned to death.
In some manner a fire started
under the engine and the flames
rolled up about the boiler and
threatened it with serious injury.
Ford mounted the foot board to
get the engine out Of the way,
when his clothing caught on fire.
His overalls and jacket were
more or less saturated with
grease and in a moment he was
enveloped in the flames. He
lost his head entirely and started
to run. An attempt was made
to come to his relief by the other
members of the crew, but he ran
so fast they could not catch him
and after running some distance
he dropped down. His clothing
was all burned away and his
hody was burned to a crisp.
Mr.. Ford was a we'll known
farmer, highly respected thruout
the county. He leaves a wife in
delicate condition of health and
two children.

turned, Green hao ''fiew the
COOP AS a matter Of fact, Of
ficer Seigembein located Green a
short time afterwards in a small
building at the real OF the Euro
pean restaurant and arrested
him. Green pretended to walk
along like a little man with the
officer, but when the men were in
the darkness between the two
buildings, Green dropped thetwo
grips which he was carrying un-
der his arms and ''skiddooed'
under some box cars.
He walked to Surrey that night
and caught a morning train for
Crookston. There he was locat-
ed and returned ia Minot by Or
ticer Tom Hagen who went after
him. The bracelet and the two
rings were found on the coon,
but he says that he did not take
the watch, but he got ten dollars
in money.
He says the woman gave him
permission to take the money
and the iewelry to keep until she
could square herself on an old
debt OF fifty or sixty dollars.
The story does not seem prob
able. Minot is just having a
sample OF the trouble which the
darkies are going to cause. There
are a hundred or more OF the
colored ladies and gentlemen in
Minot, most OF whom aretoughs
OF the worst character. It would
be a good thing if Miss Booker,
Mr.. Green, esq.,, and a good
many more Of the "colored indi-
viduals'' could be deported to

named Harvey was killed by an
engine at Petersburg at four
O'Clock Monday afternoon. The
lad had been working forty-eight
hours without sleep, as a flag
man, and sat down in front Of
the engine for a moment. He
fell asleep. The engine came
along and the piston rod struck
him on top OF the head, killing
the fellow instantly. The re-
mains were taken that night to
Larimore where a mother and
sister reside. There should be a

VIM. Green, a very black dar-
key was given a hearing before
Judge Murray at the city hall
Friday afternoon, charged with
stealing $40, a gold watch, two
diamond rings, one turquoise
ring, a gold chain to a pair of
glasses, another ring and a gold
bracelet, from Marie Booker's
trunk, in her residence near the
sand pit, a week ago Saturday
night. Green had a nice story
all fixed up, but it wouldn work
with Judge Murray.
Miss Booker is an aggressive
sort of an Individual and seems
to always be looking for trou-
bic and notoriety. Green, ac-
cording to- his own story, was
the woman's lover for some
months, and as such answered
her beck and call.
All went well until he was "cut
out" by two white men.
Mr.. Green realized that winter
is close at hand and his summer
wages all spent, so he didn't just
exactly like the idea OF Closing
his happy home' in this manner.
He told Marie so in plain coon
language and threatened to
compare the strength of a beer
bottle with that ofMiss Booker's
cocoanut. Miss Booker says
that when the bad man was
about to carry out this threat,
she sought protection under the
protecting wing" of Officer Sci
genbein. About two O'Clock

shack, she saw MIR. Green, ham

large part of it. Mrs. Denoyer's
mother had a large amount OF
furniture stored in the upstairs
and most Of this was burned.
The fire evidently started in
the second floor.
The firemen do the very best
they can considering the condi-
tion of the water works, but it
seems to the Independent that
Minot is a fourth rate city for
water works. We need to extend
and better our water works
system and at once.
The fire was caused by one OF
the little boys striking a match
in the upstairs, setting the bed
clothing on fire.
