Will TEST COUNTY
DIVISION VOTE
SUPREME COURT WILL BE APP
PEALED TO IN MoNTRAiLLE
COUNTY MATTER.
CLAIMED THAT COUNTY PRoPo-
a$ SITToNs WAS NOT LEGALLY
CARRIED AT ELECTION.

As soon as the state canvassing
board certifies the vote in the organ
ization Of Montraille county, out of
Ward, an action will be brought in
certiorari before the supreme court
to test the legality Of the organiza-
ton, on the ground that majority
of the highest total vote of the yot-
ers of the county is required, and that
a majority of the. votes cast on the
Mountraille county proposition alone
is not sufficient.
Attorney John e. Greene will bring
the action and present it to the SUI
preme court. 1t is not likely, there
fore, that any further steps will be
taken to make the organization of
the proposed county effective until
the court passes on this proposition.
The fate of the proposed county hing
es on the construction that the court
may place upon the language of the
constitution, which provides that such
propositions must have a majority
of all the votes cast"

.
The Lieutenant and the Cowboy
the new western military drama,
which comes to the Atheneum to-
night should not be confounded with
the ordinary clap-trap melodrama,
for this is a play Of sterling worth
and is presented by an extremely cap
able company. No better play can
possibly be offered Bismarck theare-
goers this season. for the simple rea-
son that nothing superior has been
written. The Lieutenant and the
Cowboy. is a tense, heart-thrilling
drama of the west. It combines the
elements of both tragedy and CONS
edy. but SO sanely blended after the
complete story clings ones mind long
after the performers are forgotten.
IT is by no means gun play but
two shots being fired during the four
acts, and neither Of them in ivew of
the audience It Is, on the contrary,
a strictly high-grade production
we'll worth the attention Of our most
critical theare-g oers.

When the state board of pardons
began its session at the office of the
governor Wednesday afternoon there
were more than sixty applications for
clemeney to be acted on.
The Till case from Pembina coun-
ty was again before the board appl-
cations for pardon for Till having
been several times denied, but
each session of the board the matter
is again presented. D. e. Morden of
Wahpeton, who is greatly interested
in the pardon of Till, is here and has
filed some new affidayits tending to-
prove that Till told the truth on the
stand iii the. trial. One of the aft
dayits filed at this hearing is from
Edward LaMoure of Pembina zcoun-
ty, who icOrroborates Till's statement
that the money to buy the revolver
with which it is claimed Miller was
killed with, was given to Till by a
man named Smith. LaM;oure says he
saw Smith give sum of money to
Till and that afterwards they went to
Prices store and he saw them look
at reyolvers. Till said at the trial
that he bought the gun with money
given him by Smith and that Smith
afterwards gave the gun to man
named Martin. Attorney Tracy Bangs
Of Grand Forks, also appeared for
Till. .
Judge Young, now of the firm of
Ball Watson, Young & Lawrence of
Fargo, was prosecuting attorney of
Pembina county at the time of the
Till trial, and he has filed letter
with the state board of pardons op-
posing the pardon. s
The matter has been taken under
| advisement by the pardon board. 1t
| is said the board stands about four
to one for pardon.
The board granted a pardon to J.
ID. Smith, sent up from Cass county
for grand larceny. Smith hired liv-
Iery rig and went out into the coun.
try with his wife in search of work
and turned the rig loose on the prair
l lie, which resulted in his arrest and
conviction of the crime charged.
Applications for Communication OF
sentenced were filed in behalf of D
/ NJ Noah, the Ward county murderer
whose execution on October % was
stayed by an appeal to the supreme
court for new trial. 1t was gener
ally believed at the time that the ap
Ipeal was taken for the purpose OF
staying the execution, in order that
an application might be taken to the
board of pardons for a Communication
Of centence. =.
Similar applications for commute
tion of sntence have been fieled in be
half of the Peltiers, who are senten
ced to death for a murder in Bottin
eau county, and whose execution is
set to take place in February.
Seth l.. Hartzell, the Cavalier coun
| ty attorney who was sentenced to five
! years Imprisonment for the killing
of Byron U. Stoddard, and whose sen
/ tence was commuted to. expire De
i cember l., has beer released and has
applied to the board for restoration
of citizenship. The Hartzell case has
been before the board several times
j and at the last session of the boart
i it was agreed to commute his sen
| tence in order that he. might be re
leased by Christmas time. His sen
/ tence would have expired within 1
imonth. Hartzell was a visitor at thu
| capitol Tuesday after his release t.
/ file his application for restoration o
citizenship.
