HUGE DAM GONE OUT

The great Huser Lake Dam, To-
Gated twenty miles north Of Hell
ena, which held the waters of the
Missouri river for a distance of
22 miles, was swept away Tues
day afternoon. With but slight
warning about three hundred feet
of the dam burst open and a wall
of water 20 feet high swept down
the canyon. People in the canyon
near the dam had but few min
utes warning but managed to es-
cape and those further down were
warned by telephone. The water
reached Great Falls yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t is expected that it
will effect the river here as well
but to what extent it is not known.
An enormous body Of water was
let loose and the river will very
likely raise several feet.

The Army will adopt some very
self-sacrificing measures in order
to raise the amount of money
agreed upon. Every member, as
we'll as the friends of the move
ment, is being requested to alb
stain from articles of food and
clothing which may be in the least
degree luxuries or unnecessary
and many of the officers are deny
ing themselves of that which
many of us are apt to regard as
absolute necessities, in order that
they may contribute something to
the common fund. This fund is
known as the Army's Missionary
fund. and your contribution, how
ever small, will be thankfully re-
ceived by the local workers.

CONGREGATIONAL BROTHERHOOD.

In cooperation with the Ma
tional movement of the Congrega-
tional church, a Brotherhood or
ganization was begun last Sunday
which promises to be success.
Quite a large number Of men were
prasent and seemed deeply inter-
ested in the project. Another
meeting will be held Sunday. Apr.
26th at 4 o'clock sharp at the
church, at which time the organi-
zation will take permanent form.
Its object is the more mutual
Brotherhood Of man and for per-
sonal enjoyment and improve
ment. All who would like a mem
bership in such an organization
are invited.

DEATH PENALTY
FOR R. S. NOAH
Murderer Of Gus johnson, Of Kenmare
Must Pay Death Penalty-Smiles
When Hears Verdict.

Minot, N. d., April l3-At 4:3O
Saturday afternoon the jury in
the case of State VS.. r. S. Noah,
returned a verdict of guilty, rec
ommending the death penalty.
Noah showed no signs Of feeling
when the jury brought in the ver-
dict, and only grinned when the
verdict was delivered. He was
Immediately taken to the county
jail, placed in cell by himself,
securely handcuffed and shackled
and four guards will be in con-
slant attendance until his removal
to Bismarck.
Noah absolutely refuses to dis
cuss anything that is not of a
criminal nature, but of crime he
will talk, and constantly keeps
those about him employed in the
discussion of criminal acts.
When questioned as to how it
felt to be sentenced to death, Noah
grinned and said that at the time
he felt slight lump arise in his
throat, and being informed that
this would soon be remedied he
only grinned. Death, in fact,
seems to have no more terrors for
the man than if he were sentenced
to attend a party of some kind.
Mrs. Noah was completely pros
trated at the verdict and broke
down and wept bitterly. Every
one in the court room was visibly
affected during the solemn occa-
sion, except Noah.

BRUTAL ASSAULT
MADE ON FARMER
Two Men Under Direction Of a Neighbor
Give Alex Larson Brutal Pounding.

Alex Larson, a farmer living
six miles west of the city, was as
saulted by three men Sunday af-
ternoon about four o'clock, and
brutally pounded about the head
and face. He was brought to the
CITY Sunday evening by his son
and taken TO DR.. Myklestad who
dressed the cuts ana bruises. Lar
son had a large cut under his right
eye which had to be sewed up;
his upper lip was cut through and
the lower lip had a bad cut in it;
all the teeth in the lower left jaw
we're knocked loose and one was
knocked out; one side of the larynx
was broken, and in addition to
this the man was bruised all over.
According to his story q stranger
came to his house Sunday after
noon and remained a short time.
During the conversation the man
asked him if he had any money.
After remaining about half an
hour the man got on his horse aad
started back along the road. He
returned in a few minutes accom-
panied by two other men, one of
them being farmer who lived
near Larson. As they rode up
Larson says the neighbor mo-
toned toward him and then the
man who had been there first
rushed his horse at Larson knock
ing him down. The man then got
off of his horse and proceeded to
stomp Larson about the head and
body with his boots. Larson
states that neighbor by the name
of Joto, who came over to his as
sistance was knocked down and
the three men then rode away.
According to reports here the
man who was the principal actor
in the assault was John Benner, a
prize fighter and wrestler who has
been hanging out around Mondak.
The authorities think they know
who the other two men are and
are busy looking for them. Up
to last night none>of the men had
been located.

CASE
UP TUESDAY

G. B. Catlin, who has charge of
the sale of the bankrupt stock of
the Globe store for the Minneapo-
lis Wrecking Company, was ar
rested Monday night on the
charge of being a transient mer-
chant. The legislature in 1907
passed a law requiring a transient
merchant to secure a license from
the state paying the sum of $75
for the same. In addition to this
he must pay to the city treasurer
sum not to exceed $25 a day for
each day that he carries on bust
ness. The law defnesa transient
merchant as lone who engages in
the vending or sale of merchandise
at any place in this state tenn
porarly, and who does not intend
to become, and does not become a
permanent merchant of such
place. The law also provides
that, upon complaint, and in case
the daily fine is not paid, the mer-
chant may be required to furnish
$500 bond, to the effect that he
intends to remain in the city in
business for at least one year.
The case came up Tuesday in
justice court before Judge Mitchell.
Upon request of defendant a jury
trial was held. The defendant
was found guilty and fined $25
and costs amounting in all to $76.
Mr.. Catlin served notice of appeal
yesterday. George Gilmore was
attorney for the city and T. S.
Beck appeared for defendant.

ATTEMPT TO
BURN stoRE
Fire Had Gained Cesd Start When Dis
covered-Coal OIL Was Used.

Edmore, N. D, Apr. 1.-Some-
one effected an entrance through
the rear door of the wareroom adj
joining r. NJ. Spence's store and
tried to set the building on fire.
A bushel basket filled with
waste paper and the sweeping of
the store was in the ware room
and this was emptied on the floor
and ignited but it failed to catch
and only charred the floor. So
earnest was he in his purpose to
burn the building and it's contents
that a barrel Of water standing
near the entrance to the store was
frozen over with thin ice, this he
tried to break with two gallon
jar and then empty the barrel so
in case he was successful in his at
tempt at incendiarism there would
be no water available with which
to quench the flames.
Failing in this, turned on the
faucet in a fifty gallon kerosene
tank, which he supposed contained
enough of the fluid to burn the
town, but luckily it had been sold
the day before and there was not
enough left to do any damage; as
only small hole was burned in
the side of the building.
The timely arrival of E. ID.
Hancock who is in charge Of the
store at this time, saved the
building from complete destruc-
ton. Upon opening the front
door of the store he smelled the
smoke and hastened to the ware
room where he discovered the
blaze in the east wall along beside
the oil tank.

SELL SCHOOL LANDS.

Bismarck, N. d., April 1.-THE
sale of school lands here today
was very successful, though not as
much land was disposed of as ex-
pected. The average price was
$13 an acre, though considerable
went as high as ST., which is con-
sidered good for this section,
where there is so much cheap wild
land. The receipts were nearly
100000, which goes into the per-
manent school fund.

PoSToFFlcE APPOINTMENTS
ay Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-During the
executive session of the senate today
for the purpose of confirming presi-
Dental appointments the nominations
of four Ohio postmasters were defeated
at the instance of Senators Foraker and
Dick The nominations were reported
unfavorably by the postoffice commit
tee. Senator Dick made the report
from that committee and on motion OF
Senator Foraker the senate sustained
the committee report.
There was no vote, the names being
acted upon in the usual manner by the
vice president putting the question and
assuming silence as an Affirmative.
Senator Foraker, however, broke the
silence after the names were rejected
by moving that the president be imme-
diately notified of the senate's action.
His sally caused considerable merrt-
ment.
In commenting tonight Senator For
aker said: There will be no further
prostitution of federal patronage in
order to carry out political bargains
without it's being resented. There viii
be other objections to nominations
wherever it is found the appointments
were made in pursuance of political
compact"

BY AssocIat Press.

BY Assocat Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.-After a sec
ond conference between District Attorney
! Langdon, Detective Burns and +.praham
Ruef. held late this afternoon, Langdon
would only say that the time is not ripe
for a public statement regarding the mat
ter of whether Ruef is to be granted
absolute immunity from prosecution in
return for telling all he knows about the
bribery charges on the witness stand.
Ruef also refused to say whether the
contract granting him immunity had been
signed or not
Judge Dunno has said that he will not
agree to any such proposition, and 1t Is
believed that his attitude furnishes the
reason for the silence of the others at
this time.
Speaking this morning after Langdon
had been in conference with him, Judge
Dunno said
''It is absurd 10 talk of an immunity
contract for any person charged with
crime, whether it be John Smith, William
Jones or Abraham Ruef l have not
been asked to sign such contract for
Ruef as the district attorney knows that
1t would be useless to broach such SUBJ
ject to me.
''Ths district attor .ey today made GER
tain suggestions to me in regard to some
motions which it seems Ruef wants my
acquiescence to- l stated to Mr.. Lang
don that 1 will listen to the suggestions
of any district attorney made in open
court; if believe him to be honest, we'll
advised and well informed in the matter,
and his suggestion Is in the interest of
Justice, will act upon it. But l will en-
tertain no motions in my chambers nor
commit myself in advance to any step or
arrangement having for its object the
immunity, wholly or partially of any per-
son charged with crime, whether 1t be
Ruef or any one else"
Continuance until next Monday was
granted, at the request of the prosecution,
of the bribery cases against Patrick CAL
houn and other officials of the United
Railroads, which came up before Judge
Lawlor this morning.

Action of Southern Pacific and Santa

Be Considered
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 14.-Members of
the state railroad commission met here
today for the purpose of taking up the
matter of rebates by the railroad COM
panies on shipments that are confined to
the state.
The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe COM
panies, through their traffic officials, have
confessed to the interstate commerce
commission that they have been in the
habit of granting rebates on continuous
shipments inside the state lines, and the
interstate commerce commission has been
unable to put a stop to the practice.
The California railroad commission sees
no way to punish the companies for these
acts and has asked Attorney General
Webb for an opinion as to the way 10
proceed to put a stop to the practice,
The attorney general will prepare an
opinion to be presented to the commls-
sion later. The matter of allowing Ship
pers the right to argue against any con-
templated change in rates, and the matter
of demurrage on cars held by shippers
will also be considered by the commls-
sioners.

him get on the wagon. After going half
a block, the man said:
''Let me look into your eyes.
Harwood looked in his face and was
confronted with a revolver.
At the same time another man grabbed
hold of the reins, turned the horse up an
alley back of the courthouse. stopped dl-
rectIv in the rear of the city marshal s
house. pulled Harwood from the seat, and
beat him over the head with revolver.
When he regained consciousness halt an

He staggered to the police officer with
his head badly cut and bleeding freely.
The police force has found no clue TO the
