BIG FIGHT
IN M|N0T
When Progressives and
StalWartS Met--Stal-
warts Win

The stalwarts and progressive re-
plIbliraIs met in battle royal at the
Ward county republican convention
held in Minot last Thursday and al,lo
the staIwar,> won a Slight victory,
the progressive element feels entirely
sat istied with he result, and expect Il
victory in the county at the pri-
marie>. Representatives OF Mckenzie
from all over the state were on hand
to influence the convention and the
IIansbrougI. Little and Hanna fac.
tiol> united to down lie progressive,.
The first test in the convention
came in ne select ion Of a temporary
chairman and Sam Lorkerby Of Portal,
the Mckenzie Representatives, was
chosen over &. l.. Eirkford by vote
of 81 to 80. Mckenzie delegates to
the state convent ion were also chosen
10y margins as close as H. votes. Ont
side leaders of the Mckenzie element
were busy all day circulating miSlead
ing accounts as to the motives and
stand OF the prOgrcssive>, but he only
result was to influence the people Of
the county against their cause.
Rcsolu, ions were adopted endorsing
the policies Of Roosevelt, and Taft was
favored for the presidential nOlnina-
tion by the party Of the nation. The
strength Of the progressive element
came to the front when IL reSOiul ion
endorsing G.. A. johnson Of Minot. for
governor, was turned down after Il
warm fight. An anti-McKenzie rr>o-
lut ion on tle part Of the progressive,
met with a silnila fate and the con-
vention broke up in a scrap over this
proposition.
, Sentiment in Minot was at Il fever
heat and more real excitement was in
the air than has ever been seen in
that city. Joe Devine was heard to
remark that vote in Ward county at
this time would show Il substantial
majority for the progressive republic
cans. There was bi. attendance at
the convention. .--Grand Forks Herald.

MURDE RED IN
COLD BLOOD
Christ johnson, a Farmer
Living Near kenmare
Brutally Murdered

kenmare, N. d., March 3l.-The
body of Chris Johnson, a we'll known
farmer, living south Of kenmare near
the village of kenaston, was found be-
meath the cellar of his home where
he lived. by neighbor, Pat Cautield,
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, he
having been foully murdered and his
body thrown into the cellar where it
had been buried to conceal an awful
crime. The men arrested are Noah
and Patrick Coyle. AS soon as a re-
port reached this city yesterday after
noon Coroner Ekrem left for the
scene of the tragedy which is situated
about nine miles south and east of
kenmare.
The dead man, who lived on his
farm alone, was missed by his neigh
borS last Friday the last being seen
of him being Thursday morning and
on Friday stranger appeared at the
home of Johnson taking possession of
the farm, and began hauling the grain
belonging to his victim to market.
Pat Caufield, farmer who lives just
across the road some POO rods from the
Johnson house, became very suspicious
that something was wrong, and called
at the house to make inquiries regard
ing the whereabouts of the now dead
man. Noah, who was alone. made a
statement that johnson had received
two letters from Sweden, one from
his sister and the other from a lawyer
requesting his immediate return to
the old country and he (Noah) had
driven him to Kenmare the day be-
fore where he had taken tie train
for New York to sail fol his old home
in Sweden.
TO substantiate his statement he
showed CanaeId a contIlact for the
st:s.,e of Ai,efIar1u,: :: i1UtSeS fand stock,
which apparently was signed by the
deceased. However, all did not look
right to Cautield. who grew more
suspicious when he noticed two men
ON the place Saturday loading up
grain which was afterwards hauled to

Cautield again visited the home Sat-
urday night when both men returned
from Kenmare in Il state Of intOxica
tion and we'll supplied with booze
which kept them we'll Jagged until
Monday, when they again loaded grain
and took it to town, The whole COM
munity became aroused and feared
that something had happened to john
son. Deputy Hot1ine and Chief Kin
ser of kenmare drove to the johnson
farm, meeting Noah with load of
grain on the way. lie was immedi-
ate]y placed under arrest and searched
by the officers, who took him back to
the farm where they found the second
man, who is no other than Pat Coyle,
recently released from the peniten-
tiary at Bismarck, where he served a
year.
Both men were put under guard and
taken to Kenmare, while the neigh
bors of Johnson began systematic
search for the missing man.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
grewsome sight Of Johnson's body was
found partially buried in the cellar
beneath the house in which he had
lived. A shot gun had been placed
close to the victim s head blowing OH
the right side of the face and head
The body was then thrown down the
steps into the cellar where it was later
found.
TO cover the crime Il new carpet
had been placed over the floor which
hid the trap door leading to the cellar
but on taking away the carpet and
raising the door a bloody sight was
presented before the searchers. "A re-
port was quickly telephoned to Ken
mare that Johnson's body had been
found and that both men were con-
fronted with the charge Of commit
ting the crime and were securely
slackled by Hoft1ne and Kinzer.
One of the first things that Coyle.
it is alleged, said was that he supposed
the authorities would search the GEL
lar at the Johnson home for johnson S
body.
What cellar do you men?" asked
MIR. HOffine. "rhe one under his
house or the cellar away from the
house?"
1.-THE cellar under the house," re-
piled Coyle.

How He Won Her!

The evening came tho the week was long:
1t was blest with a bright bay moon,
While the evening joys began with song.
And twas midnight all too soon.
But his pledge was made on his way that
That lie ID ask for Miss l,osa's hand.
So he strove with a will and all his might.
But the sentence he couldn't command.
Now they sat and talked, they talked till one.
They talked of the past and now.
And every time her Sente1. .ce was dOne
He'd start, but he didn't know how.
The hours began to increase to the morn.
lie must DR. forfeit his crown,
So he stammered again his words to adOn.
lie faltered and then he broke down.
Discouraged III this he struck new trail
That must win, or live an old bach:
SO he entered the ring with a broadening smile
Yet he feared she'd be more than his match.
':!'ll bet you dime he said with grin,
II can write \O!lr name quicker than you
And quicker than flash she said ''you must
Or forfeit the dime for us, too
SO lie wrote his own name as Mr.. X.
She placed hers close by the side,
And then for the watch to prove who should pay.
They wondered who should decide.
Ruttley tested again, and she wrote hermme,
While he counted the seconds, nine:
Then taking the pen, lie said there's my fame.
For, Rose, think it is mine.
So he held the watch while she was to write,
But the task was so quickly done
That she doubted his answer in all of tile light.
For of seconds she couldn't count one.
She then asked to see, and none-of-t lle-eSS
lie yielded, with nothing to say,
For he simply had added to ''Mr." an ''S'
And made it read Mrs. X
The hours of midnight had drlted to morn,
AS the lad passed out of the door,
And not only the dime he packing away
But he'd never felt that way before.
