Boy Unconscious for Several Weeks.

About three weeks ago a lad
named Butler was brought down
from Garrison by his father and
placed in the hospital. He was
unconscious from being thrown
from horse, and has remained in
this condition ever since, the
doctors feeding him through the
nose. He has apparently been
asleep and lay quietly on the bed
seemingly without pain. A blood
clot on the brain has been the
cause of this long Inconsistencies,
and he has been treated for this.
Saturday he ate something
through the mouth for the first
time since being brought to the
hospital, and that night showed
signs of returning consciousness,
and it is expected that he will have
regained his senses by today

succeeded in killing the old one

He happened to have flask Of

COAL SHORTAGE
A PROBABILITY
Unless the Consumers Act lmmedi-
ate1y = Comparatively Small
Amount Moved 50 Far

Unless the people of Minnesota
and North Dakota make an effort
to put in their coal supply immedi-
ately, there is danger of a re-
petition of ''coal famine
conditions which prevailed during
the winters of 1867.
Up to the present time not nearly
enough coal, necessary to meet the
fall demand, has moved from the
head of the lakes. The Great
Northern reports the supply
moved to points in Minnesota and
North Dakota is from 25 to so per
cent less than at this time last
year.
The difficulty seems to be with
the individual consumers more
than retail dealers. The people
apparently do not realize the
necessity for putting in their sup
ply early.
There are approximately 1900,
600 tons of soft coal, and 100000
tons of hard coal on the docks at
the head of the lakes now. Stor-
age capacity is taxed to the limit
and serious shortage is bound to
occur unless the roads are given
an opportunity to get the coal out
before the grain movement sets in.
By placing orders now for i'm
mediate delivery, the consumers
not only get a better price but
relieve the storage bins of the
retailers, thereby enabling him to
restock at once.

Ward county, not in Mclean
county, as was first supposed.
This information has been con-
ferred to States Attorney McGee,
who will probably leave tomorrow
morning for the scene of the
alleged shooting.
Barsenwic lives in Mclean
county and it was thot at first
that he was killed in Mclean
county. 1t developes, however,
that the quarrel between the father
and son took place in Ward county,
just across the line from Mclean,
and since this is the case it is up
to the Ward county officials to
make the prosecution.
The quarrel is supposed to have
started over horse. It is alleg-
ed that the son shot Barasenwic
in the dispute. The old man
lived several days and it was thot
at first that the wound was not
serious. He died later, however,
and was buried from Minot.

Gronna in the Race.

Grand Forks, N. d., Sept. g.
Congressman A. j. Gronna of
Lakota is practically in the race
for Senator McCumber's seat in
the United States. Although he
has made no formal announcement
it is known he is a candidate.
Ever since the primary election,
in which Senator Hansbrough was
defeated, the Lakota man has
been laying plans for the defeat
of McCumber. He would have
liked to have been candidate
against Hansbrough, but was
persuaded to wait. At the recent
gathering of republicans to attend
the state committee meeting at
Bismarck it was an open secret
that Gronna would seek Nc
Cumber's scalp at the primary
election to be held in June, 1910.
It is announced positively that
Gronna has broken with Alec
Mckenzie. The final slash came
at Bismarck, where Gronna made
it plain to Mckenzie that hence
forth he would look after his own
interests. The trouble between
Gronna and Mckenzie has been
brewing for some time. Gronna
does not want M. N. johnson elect
ed United States senator. johnson
is resident of Nelson county,
Gronna's home, and in case he
should be elected senator
to succeed Senator Hansbrough,
it would be impossible for Gronna
to win the other toga.
With the announcement of the
break of Gronna and Mckenzie
comes the news that Gronna has
decided to do all he can to elect
Thomas F. Marshall to the United
States senate. Gronna is looking
for the future and believes as an
Mckenzie candidate he will
be winner.
& At the recent committee meet
ing in Bismarck Gronna stood
with the progressives and against
Mckenzie in demand for a
platform that would suit insur-
gents tastes. @. N. Erich, M. n.
Johnson's manager, opposed the
physical valuation Of railroads,
and bank deposit guaranty.
Mckenzie was greatly displeas-
ed with the platform. He took
occasion to tell Gronna about it
and there was q bitter clash in
which both aired their views.
The afray ended in Gronna max
ing a declaration that he would
stand with the progressive repub-
licans in the future and would
oppose the election Of NJ. N.
johnson, McKenzie's candidate.
to the United States senate.
