Mill EMPLOYE
BADLY INJURED

Tioga. N. D., Nov. 1S.-One of the
most deplorable accidents occurred to
John L. Bakken. well known resident
of this place, who has been acting as
engineer at the Thomas Nordby saw
mill on the south side OF the Missouri
river for some time past. 1t appears
that Mr.. Bakken was In the act of
reaching over to dislodge some bark
and sawdust that was clogging the
saw. when the NIT on his right hand
came in contact with the set screw
on revolving shaft and his arm was
wound around it. crushing and break
ing that member below the shoulder.
while at the same time his body was
thrown In the air In such manner
that his right foot came In contact
with the saw. cutting 1t off at the In
step. He was attended by q physician
who chanced to be In the neighborhood
and was later taken to Ray where he
was given further treatment. He was
then taken to the hospital at Williston
where the arm was amputated Just
below the elbow and what remained of
the foot put In the best condition pos
aible.

P. 0. ROBBER
MAKES ESCAPE

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 1s.-Ffoyd FL
lott, one Of the Sterling postoffice rob-
bers, confined in the Burleigh county
jail, escaped last evening through the
carelessness of the turnkey. When
the turnkey took away the supper
dishes from the cell room, he failed
to securely fasten the door and when
he returned, he found Elliott had fed.
The mans tracks were followed from
the Jail to the street, he having car
ried his shoes in his hand, but all trace
of him was there lost. The peniten-
ttary btoodhounds were brought in and
put on the trail, but soon lost the
scent in the fast falling snow. Elliott
and companion walked into the post
office store at Sterling two weeks ago
and at the point OF a gun made the
clerk help them array themselves in
complete outfits of clothing and over
coats, after which they took their de-
parture on horseback, but were cap
tured the next day by a rancher I'm
Emmons county. Both the sheriff and
his deputy were away at the time OF
the escape.

IS
AFTER TOGA

Coiunnbus,y Nov. .sf4.-@Senaforr Fora
ker today began his open fight FOR
reelection to the senate by sending
out letters to republican members
elect of the legislature inviting their
support at a party caucus to be held
late in December. Foraker is ex-
pectd to follow tEis with a formal
statement asking the support OF the
people of the state. .'
Aside from the interest aroused by
Foraker's avowed candidacy, interest
in the senatorial situation centers
around the probable candidacy of
Chas. P Taft. Taft has kept quiet
while his boom has Teen developing,
neither confirming nor denying his
aspiration to- the office.
Should Taft make the fight, his
friends declare 1t will be Taft against
the field. Should his race for any
reasca be called off. Burton would
appear to have the pole.

P. D. LOSES
$I6,9IO,279

! Washington, Nov. 12-Postmaster
General Meyer announced today that
the postal deficit for the fiscal year
ended June 80 1908, amounted to $16,-
910,27s. The receipts were s191,47S,-
6S3. being $7,S93.657 create than the
previous year, and tAle expenditures
S2O3,S51,Ss6. The deficit is the largest
in the history of the postoffice depart
ment.
An analysis OF the figures show that
$9,S91,321 represents the advance in
the rate of compensation authorized by
congress for employees of the railway
mail service, rural delivery service
city delivery service, and assistant
postmasters and clerks in postoffices.
The normal increase in the revenue
for several years was about per cent
and in 1908 429 per cent, the falling
off in the rate of growth being due to
the financial depression.

ASSAULTED BY
HUSBAND and Wife

Minot, N. D., Nov. 16.-Charging that
both husband and wife pounced upon
him and assaulted him, Martin Settler
today caused the arrest OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Garness Of Powers Lake,
who caused a sensation in Minot some
time ago by being married after they
had been arrested on a charge of un-
lawful cohabitation.
The couple were arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Dick Steinhoffer. Settler
charges the husband and wife with as
saulting him while he was walking
over the Garness claim. Sether claims
that he was doing no one any harm
and that because he was on their land
the husband and wife jumped upon
him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Garness have a diff
ferent story. They state that they
had warned Sether to keep off their
land and that in spite OF this warn
ing ne came on the land and tried to
make trouble for them.

EUROPE BUYING.
NORTHWEST WHEAT

Minneapolis, Nov. 15-Germany
bought Minnesota and Dakota wheat
today for shipment 70 Hamburg. There
was much secrecy about the transac-
tion. The first report was that a Min
neapolis Arm made the sale. The
Peavey Co. did not confirm IL. The
Van Dusen- Harrington Co. said they
did not sell. but that fye loads were
sold to go down the lakes from Duluth.
1T was finally learned that the Ames-
Brockus Co. of Duluth sold the wheat,
five boat loads in all, meaning canal
boat measurement, which equals about
10000 bushels This is trivial
quantity, considering the mammoth
proportions or the grain trade as a
whole. The significance is attached
not to the, quantity but to the fact
that continental Europe should buy
here at this time. Dreyfus of Paris
and Smyth Of Liverpool, big European
importers, were the buyers. But they
sent orders to Winnipeg, Minneapolis

FARMER Held
FOR ASSAULT

Crosby, N. D.. Nov. 1s.-The case
of state VS.. Godfred Jensen coupled
the attention of the Schneider mill OF
justice two days. The complaining
witness In the case is one Westcott,
a neighbor of Jensen's and is the fell.
low who used. a rock on another neigh
Dor this summer. The defense intro
duced no evidence and furnished bond

Misrepresentation of this case by
some of the newspapers and the de-
fendant's side of the case will not be,
presented until court sits next win
ter, when something In the nature of
a sensation may be expected.
Mr.. Jensen was a member of the

a day or two later for east Of that line,
and day or two earlier for west Of it.
The next bulletin will tell you all
about the winter storms and weather
Of December.
Sun and Weather.
Our sun is a great central body with
eight great planets, more than 400
smaller ones and an immense flock of
promiscuous, untamed comets all NOV
ing around the sun in the same direc-
tion that the latter turns on its axis.
We can see by aid OF the telescope
that our suns surface is, at times,
greatly disturbed as though great
storms were whirling it's clouds caus-
ing mountainous formations on some
parts similar to our thunder head Gu
mulus clouds and on other parts great
holes or depressions like our spots of
clear skies.
There is, as all agree, some relation
between these sun storms and our
earth weather. The question among
scientists Is as to where the original
cause Is located. A vast majority of
scientists declare that the cause Is in
the sun and that it puIsates, throwing
out those throbs that cause the irreg-
ular changes in our magnetic ana
weather changes.
A few or us say that 1t is the
changing positions of the bodies that
move around the sun which cause those
changes. 1t is of the utmost import
ance that this question be settled for
a general progress in meteoroIogy can
not come till it is settled. If the cause
had it's seat in the sun the result would
be regular pulsations. AS these pull
satiOns are as unregular as possible
hold that it comes from the changing
positions of outside bodies, the plan

FOUND GUILTY OF
SHOOTING WOMAN

Mandan. N. D., Nov. 1--we. the
Jury, find the defendant guilty of
shooting Anna Kierhut with a frearm
without Justification or excusable
cause, with intent to do bodily harm
but without intent to kill her.
With these words Morton county
jury determined the criminal case
brought against John Burgl for shoot
ing his neighbor, Mrs. l-nna Zierhut,
last July, with a shotgun, the shot
taking effect in the left thigh OF the
woman. In this case the Judge will
have discretion to fix the punishment
at either a penitentiary sentence OF
from one to five years, or Jail SEN
tence net exceeding one year.
The case grew out OF a neighbor-
hood quarrel and on the day Of the
shooting, which occurred In the coun-
try near New Salem, the defendant
was attacked on his own land by the
husband OF the complaining witness.
The defendant received quite c beat
Ing from Martin Zierhut and 1t was
Immediately after the exchange of
blows that Brugl got hold OF the shot
gun and within short time there
after and struck the complaining wit
ness. Then he fired another shot to-
ward Martin zierhut who was running
avail, and third shot at the horses
Of Zierhut
Al plea of self defense was raised
ana prosecuted with great deal of
yigor by J. M. Hanley, defendants
az. sney, and 1t was plainly shown
that at the very beginning OF the
fracas the husband OF Anna Zierhut
was the agressor. But upon the
question OF whether the attack and
the beating he received, was answer
ed by the jurors in the negative, and
they agreed upon the verdict given
above.
The defendant liz q young man and
has previously borne a good reputa-
tion. Notice OF motion in arrest OF
Judgment was entered by his counsel
and pending the pronouncemet of SEN
tence the defendant was placed un-
der $4,000 bail, which up to noon
had not been furnished.

Episcopalians. six Presbyterians, three
Methodists, two Dutch Reform, two
Congregationalists, ane Unitarian and
one Disciple. Taft, with his Unitarian
belief, will be the second of that faith
in the Office. Millard Fillmore, the
thirteenth president, was the first, so
1T would seem that every thirteenth
president is Unitarian. It Is usually
supposed that President Roosevelt was
the first one of the Reformed Dutch
belief to preside over tine nation, but
history shows that Martin Van Buren
was also of that faith.

sugar in the United States were par
ticularly interested in the hearing to-
day before the ways and means com
mittee of the house of representatives
for the prosecution of arguments for
q higher or lower tariff on sugar and
its manufactures. The fight for free
entry of sugar made before the
committee today on the claim that the
consumer does not Ect any benefit
from the present duty. 1t also was
claimed by those who are opposing the
so-called sugar trust" that the pres
ent rate of duty on raw sugar no
longer is required for protecting Amer
lean sugar growers on the ground
that sugar is raised in this country as
cheaply as abroad.
