DECISION REACHED
BY SCANT MAJORITY
Exceedingly Close and the Second
Primary Will Probably Be Warmer
Than the First.

The day that viii settle the political
contest IS close at hanl. The first
primary for city officers will De held
next Wednesday, but there ale so
many candidates for the various offices
that it is not probable that many will
receive majority in the first primary
and the second will be more hotly con-
tested than the first, because there will
be a new alignment on the second, the
two highest running it over.
The matter that is now being dis
cussed with the most vim and vigor
is the action of the city executive COM
mittee or a majority of the committee.
in permitting any of those to vote
who have paid no poll tax. The COM
mittee was not altogether united on
this question, as was shown at the
meeting yesterday morning. The fol-
lowing members voted for the PROPOSE
ton to allow all who had not been
assessed. and who were otherwise quail
| flied. to vote in the primary: M. L.
Thompson. A. H. McSwain, DR.. P. A.
Carter and ]. H. Denham. Those who
voted against the proposition to allow
votes to those who had paid no poll
tax were F. F. Phillips, R. F. Kennedy
and w. L. Pack.
1t is due Mr.. McSwain to say that he
did not agree with the idea of allow
ing people to vote who had not paid
their taxes, but he stated as he hat
formerly agreed to this he did no
] think it right to change his position
now.
The action of the committee ha'
brought on lots of talk and considera
BILE opposition. Those who believe ;
poll tax is a rightful prerogative t
voting argue that people should q
up and pay their poll tax whether the,
are assessed with it or not, just lik'
people pay privilege taxes. They ay
que, further, that the men who dc

On the other hand hose who beiieve
in allowing a map<o vote whether he
contributes for t,@ privilege or not, ar
que that it is /he duty of the county
assessor to /sess all polls and when
he fails HIdo so or overlooks them
that the being nothing charged
on ye books against them
tbeyare not, therefore, liable for q
na tax. In other words they put the
responsibility on the assessor rather
khan the individual, and say that II
is no fault of the individual that he i:
not charged with a poll, hence, he II
not liable. and is therefore entitled
to his vote as much as the individual
who pays the tax.

The lawyers in the case of w. G. Mil
Ter concluded their arguments at about
's o'clock last night and Justice j. W..
Bolton announced that he was worn
out with the days work and that he
would render his decision at 10 o'clock
this morning.
The greater portion of the testimony
was published in yesterdays Daily
News. The defense introduced only
a few witnesses.
Officer w. B. Risher was called and
asked few unimportant questions.
Previous to the calling of the first
witness for the defense, the state
-1put o. A. Caskey on the stand.
Mr.. Caskey testified that he was in
the bath room on the morning of the
tragedy and that he ate some breakfast
with Miller, Mitchell and Thurmond.
He said that during the meal Miller
=. called to the porter to bring him pis-
tol and that Miller showed them diff
ferent ways of shooting pistol; that
Miller waved the pistol around, but
was in good humor and made no
threats. He said Thurmond had been
gone four or five minutes, to the best
of his recollection, VIXEN the shot was
fired He said he wa not looking at
the pistol when it wassfired that his
sight was blinded by the smoke just
after the shot and the first thing he
noticed was that Joe Mitchell had been
shot. He became considerably excited
and Miller told him to get a doctor;
he started out of the room and Miller
pitched the pistol into the corner OF
4, the bath room where there was lot OF
towels Did not see Miller pitch the
pigtol, but saw it land in the corner as
he was going out. Mr.. Caskey ex
pressed the belief that the shooting
was accidental and declared there was
nothing but Joking and laughing while
they were at the table.
The state next introduced George
Hughes through whom an effort was
made to show metive for the killing
This was the only effort made by the
state, through witness, to show Q
motive, and the state was evidentl,

Since the last issue of the Re-

learned that Brother Young will
not leave the Billings county
newspaper field but intends es-
tablishing a second newspaper at

his just having sold his Beach
Chronicle, is rather unprecedent-
ed-but that's his business, and

brought to bear on him by the

to. As far as Mr.. Young start

out of the question, but the part

we purchased with the plant can

BR1NroN Baos., Owners.
j. W. BR1Nron, Editor.

There is 4 certain individual in
Beach, an upright creature in the
form of man, with arms, legs,
body and less head (and very lit
tie brains), who took it upon him
self when the writer first landed
here to try and knock or block
every turn we have made. So
far we have been able to get along
and make a living nevertheless.
In our recent deal with Mr..
Young this unprincipled individual
did all in his power, by fair
means and foul, to put a stone in
our path and prevent us from
buying the Chronicle: Mr.. Young
had been wanting to sell his
business and plant to us for over
Il year, and had set his price at
$4,000, which the writer consider
ed too much considering his
equipment, and it was not until
January 25, '0S, that Mr.. Young
and the present editor came to
terms and a deal was agreed up
on for the consideration of $21SO.
But on the following day Mr..
Young withdrew from the agree
ment and informed us he did not
care to sell at any price, saying
that this certain person had in.
tiuenced him. giving him promises
galore (but nothing that would buy
him his bread and butter) aud on
the strength of these promises
had changed his mind. We have
been opposed in other deals by
this party and have come out on
top in the windup, and we made
up our mind then and there to
buy the Chronicle at any price.
On the following day, January
9th, we reopened negotiations
with Mr.. Young and finally closed
the deal at $23S0; 5000 more
than Mr.. Young asked on Jan
uary 25th; $50 more than he had
asked originally, and $1,000 more
than the actual value of the plant,
according to Mr.. Young's own
figures. AS soon as the deal
was closed and money paid to
bind the bargain, which included
GOOD WILL and BUSINESS
of Mr.. Young, this person above
referred to got busy and in
fluenced Mr.. Young to 60 back
on his word and try and pull out
of the deal again; not succeeding
il this he comes out in his next
issue with the statement that he
was going to establish another
paper at Beach and continue in
the business, while in the same
paragraph and same breath he
admits selling and receiving a
LARGE PRICE for HIS BUS.

WITH THIS issue the Chronicle
passes into new hands, the UNDER
signed having bought the entire
plant, name, business, good will,
subscription list and all accounts
from W. A. Young, who
established the paper a little over
two years ago and nursed it throu'
its infancy and reared it into a
prosperous and growing weekly.
MIR. Young steps out of the
editorial harness and retires from
the newspaper business in Beach.
The new owners took possession
last Saturday, February Is, '0s,
and ON and after that date all out
standing accounts including sub
scriptions are due and payable to
Brinton Brothers. who arc now
the sole owners.
The new proprietors are old
newspaper men, were practically
raised IN print shop; are at
present publishers of two other
North Dakota weeklies-and, al
thong h not old in years, have had
a long experience IN both the
mechanical and business ends of
the newspaper business, and know
the ms and outs from a to 2. We
have faith enough in the town,
the Golden Valley and it's people
to predict a bright future for the
Chronicle and it's owners, it's pa
irons, it's friends and it's knockers.
In taking charge of the Chron-
lcle we have no ak to grind and
enter the Billings county news
paper field with good will toward
everyone. We will endeavor to
publish a live and up-to-date
weekly newspaper that will merit
the support Of every resident
of the Golden Valley, and in the
future will improve and enlarge
the plant and paper as the COM
munity grows.
We will not make any prom
lses as to what we will or will not
do, for fear of our inability to
fulfill them, but will endeavor at
all times to do and strive for the
things that will be for the great
est good to the greatest number.
1t will be our policy to work in
the interests of the taxpayers and
try to keep them informed on all
local and county affairs and pass
our opinion pro and con ON
public questions arising that effect
and are of interest to Billings
county residents.
At times our opinion and judg.
ment may differ from some Of our
readers, as is always the case
with the newspaper publisher,
but as we do not claim to be in
fallible, our columns will always
be open to those who wish to take
us to task when they think we
have not given any public issue a
s.square deal.
In conclusion we will say tia,
we have always been anxious to
own q newspaper in Beach, in
fact, it was with that object in
view that the writer cast his LOT
among Beachites-som two years
ago. Now that we have at las'
succeeded, we are contented and
