TRAVELLER DIES
On PRAIRIES
INVESTIGATION BEING MADE IN
MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
J. 3. Silver, While Driving to Lans-
ford, N. D., Fell Out Of Sleigh and
Driver Allows Man to Lie in Road
and Freeze to Death.

Minot. N. D., March 11.--Was it
heart failure or undue exposure as a
result of a sudden attack of sickness,
that caused the demise of j. b. Silver,
a prominent cigar salesman, is ques-
tion over which the coroner of Botti-
neau county and his jury are at pres
ent debating. j B. Silver, a represen-
tative of the Ashland Cigar Co, who
left Minot but two days ago, died Fri
day evening while travelling between
Grano and Lansford. Mr.. Silver, in
company with Grano 1iveryman and
a. school teacher from Grano, who was
to take the train for Minot at Lans-
ford, started for Lansford in q sleigh.
Both of the men had been drinking
during the day, according to reports
which have been received in this city.
When the drive was partly completed
Silver became deathly sick and fell
from his seat on the sleigh. The driver
dismounted and attempted to pick him
up, but the weight was too much. He
than dragged him to the side of a
small hut, which was situated a short
distance away from the road and hast
ened on to Lansford, where a number
of the citizens were organized into a
relief party. Upon their arrival at the
hut the man was found dead, although
when left by the liveryman he had
been breathing, but was seemingly un-
conscious The body was taken into
Lansford and the coroner summoned.
Up to late hour tonight It had not
been decided whether Mr. silver died
from sudden attack of heart trouble
eAto alcoholism on whether the un-
due exposure ait the time Of this sud-
den sickness caused his death. Mr..
Silver but recently took this territory
having replaced Mr.. Davies, who died
from heart failure at Crary In the sta
tion but three weeks ago. Silver has
been in Minot for some time since ac-
cepting the position and is well known
among the travelling men.

TO
Fight Low RATE
ROADS OPERATING IN NEBRASKA
TO CONTEST LAW.
The 2-cent Rate Law Which Is Effec
tive Now, Is to Be Tested in the Ne
braska Courts by the Railroads as
to It's Validity.

Omaha, March lit Is authorita-
lively stated in private report of Off
cial character from Chicago, that the
railroads of Nebraska Will contest the
2-cent fare law which, the legislature
enacted a week ago, and the governor
signed last Wednesday at midnight,
placing it in effect at once. The roads
are now preparing to carry the case
to the courts and there make vigor-
GUS contest to determine the validity
of the new law.
When the law was enacted it carried
an emergency clause which provided
for it's operation upon its being signed
by the governor or within five days
without his signature. The governor,
George L. Sheldon, though elected by
the republicans upon a so-called anti
railroad platform last fall, on the
stump during the campaign advocated
a graduated scale of fares, rather than
fiat 2-cent law, believing the latter
would be confiscatoEy in many cases of
small or branch roads. So when the
legislature passed the bill providing for
a fiat 2-cent rate, Governor Sheldon
hesitated to sign the bill, thinking
to be consistent with his prediction
course. But when he considered that
without his signature the law might
be Unconstitutional owing to the word
ing Of the emergency clause, he de-
cided to sign 1T rather than place him-
self In the way Of what the majority Of
the legislature had deemed wise
measure.

THE CLERK HIRE QUESTION
MAJOR 5uTTZ' RESOLUTION
BLOCKS EFFORTS OF lNsuR-

MAKE CAMPAIGN MATERIAL OF
ALLEGED OVER PAY OF CLERKS

Bismarck, N. D., March ff.--Indig-
nant over the special message of Cow
ernor Burke to the legislature, charg-
ing unwarranted expenditures for clerk
hire, Representative Buttz of Ransom
county prepared resolution to place
on the records of the house, but 1t was
denied publicity on motion of stall
wart member who had been promised
insurgent endorsement for position
as assistant attorney general, accord
ing to the major. -.
The law provides that the pay roll
for the members of the legislature and
the clerks shall be audited by the gov
ernor, the state auditor and the at
torney general Major Buttz alleged
that the governor failed to consult the
other two members of the board and
personally gave his o. k to the bills
at the twentieth and fortieth day, and
when toward the last of the session.
he discovered his error, the special
message was sent.
The effect of the special message
was to place the blame for the over
pay on the republican members of the
legislature instead of on the governor,
where ii really belonged.
If there were too many employees In
the lower house, Major Buttz feels
that the insurgent members and demo-
Gratis are to blame, as they organized
and controlled the house.
The object of his resolution was to
place the blame where it belonged and
to show the people of the state that
the "stalwarts" We're not responsible.
He does not propose to have the in
surgents and democrats frame up any
campaign thunder in that way The
resolution was as follows:
Whereas, this has been the reform
house of the Tenth legislative assem-
bly,, and
Whereas, 1t is quite well known Cat
