FATAL SHOOTING ACCIDENT
VIM. Thayah Of Richmond Killed
While Hunting Sheep.

Richmond, Dec. 22.-William Thay-
all aged 80 years was accidentally
shot with his own weapon Sunday and
died within a few minutes, one small
bullet entering the heart. He and
another man named Root, who was al
so employed on the farm of Clarence
Goodrich, went out to try to round up
a flock of sheep belonging to Abe Wor-
then, q dealer in stock, who had offer
ed the men a dollar If they would
bring in the sheep dead or alive The
sheep had been running wild since
last fall and could not be secured
Thayah and Root were somewhat
separated from each other. the latter
being at the foot of a ledge and Root
being on the top The latter heard
Thayah's weapon discharged and he
asked Thayah if he had shot a sheep.
Thayah started to walk toward Root
and after going a few feet dropped to
the ground Root ran to his compan-
ions aid and found that he was badly
wounded. He tried to stop the flow Of
blood and. falling ran TO the house
about thirty rods away for help. Then
having secured assistance. he started
10 carry the injured man TO the house
They had got no further than the
road when Thayah expired. It was
found that one shot had penetrated
the heart, and another the shoulder
and the others scattered in the upper
part OF the body.
Thayah had formerly worked for
Goodrich but went away to California
some time ago On his return he again
went to work on the Goodrich farm
and had been there but a short time
He had been twice married. his first
wife being dead and he being divorced
from the second He leaves one child
four years old.
II is thought that the shooting was
caused by the mans slipping. BY ex.
periments afterwards II was found
that the gun, which was old.fashioned,
would be discharged II dropped on
It is stock So the supposition is that
Thayah slipped and the gun fell out
Of his hands SO that the butt hit a
rock The gun was found about two
rods below where he lay when Root
got to him.

E. Whitaker has returned from New
York where he went early in the week
to testify in the divorce proceedings
against Harry A. Ferguson of Cottage
street brought by the woman formerly
known in Rutland as Edna Temple,
who claims to be his wife. The sup
erior court docket was so full this
week that the case will not lone up
for trial until next Wednesday. Sher-
if Whitaker, however, was permitted
to give his testimony in chambers
so he will not be obliged to go to New

ed a divorce from her When she
was informed that he had not she
said she would prosecute him for
bigamy She left town a few days la
ter and it was announced that the
matter had been settled

says that Mr.. Ferguson promised last
May 10 pay all expenses If she would
get divorce but that he has failed
to give her a cent. There is no de.
mand for alimony in the petition for
divorce which is asked for on statu-
tory grounds

MANY MEMBERS BELTRAMI
co. BAR ENDORSE STANTON
Prominent Attorneys Who Have Tried Cases Before Judge
Stanton Issue Statement Declaring Him Well
Worthy Of Reelection.

A Judge of the district court is to
be elected this fall, who will hold
office for six years. This is easily
the most important matter before
the people of this district at the
coming election. The district court
is the court of last resort for most
people, few having the means to
appeal in case of unfavorable de.
cision. The property, liberty and
in some cases, the lives of the people,
rest upon the decisions of that court,
and in more than ninety per cent of
the cases tried there, its decisions
are final. The importance of select
ing the right man for the Office of
judge, is too plain for argument.
The office is not political one, nor
should the question of party politics
ever be permitted to influence the
selection of the judge.
There is nothing that can be
gained or lost to any political party,
through the personal political faith
of the judge, nor do his political
opinions cut any figure whatever.
There is but one question personal
to the candidate, worthy of consid-
Grafton, and that is, what are his
qualifications? In the present case,
we, the undersigned lawyers of the
Fifteenth Judicial district, all of us
having personal experience and
knowledge on which to base our
opinions, respectfully recommend
the election of our present judge,
c.. w. Stanton, to succeed himself
for the coming term.
Judge Stanton has held court in
every county of the district, and has
proved himself eminently satisfac-
tory to the bar, and to the people.

The MAYOR. ''MESSAGED"
The COUNCIL LAST NIGHT
Told "city Dads" a Few Things
Council, by Unanimous Vote
Granted Burke License.

MUCH interest Was taken IN the
meeting of the city council last
evening, it having been announced
beforehand that Mayor Pogue would
present to that body a special
message. The message was forth.
coming and was an interesting
document.
Among other things in this mes.
sage, Mayor Pogue stated that Sec.
ton l, Chapter 3, Of the city charter
made it his duty to give information,
from time to time, for the betterment
of the city.
Mayor Pogue stated that the
charter provided that no warrants
should be issued until there was
sufficient money in the treasury to
the credit of the fund upon which
the warrant is drawn to pay same,
and that he. and the city clerk, in
signing the said warrants in the
past, had done wrong, as we'll as the
council in allowing bills.
He further stated he would sign
no warrants IN the future unless
sufficient money was in the fund on
which warrant was drawn to pay the
full amount of the warrant to be
issued.

should be taken by the council in
the awarding of contracts for sup
plies for the city, and that the coun-
Gil should not purchase from firms or
corp orations in which any member
of the council was directly or in
directly connected. He made
special mention to the same effect as
to work being done on the streets of
the city. .
Mayor Pogue also commented on
the condition of the citiy's finances,
and recommended to the council
that salary fund be created out of
which the city's employees should be
paid; and that this fund should be
created from the general revenue
funds received and not otherwise
appropriated. He also recommended
that if this could not be done that
the charter commission be called to.
gether and appropriate amendments
drawn by that body and submitted
to the people for their approval.
At the close of his message,
Mayor Pogue stated that he hoped
errors in the past would not be
repeated and that this message
would serve the purpose of caution
ing the council to more economi-
cal administration of the city's
affairs.
After the reading of the message,
the council by majority affirmative
vote, laid same on the table.
The application of A. Burke for
license to sell Intoxicating liquors in
the Clavin building, on Second
street, where he has conducted the
Star" theatre, was allowed, the
vote on the application being unani-
nous, President Gould, Aldermen
McCuaig, Smart, Miller, E. J. Gould,
Marin and Rhea voting aye, there
being no nays. The application
grants Mr.. Burke license to sell
Intoxicating liquors in the premises
described as follows:
AT and in the front room, first
floor of that certain two-story frame
building located on Lots 18 and 19,
Block II, original townsite of Be-
midi, Minn.," and not otherwise.
The bills were on motion laid over
one week, awaiting the decision of
Judge Stanton in the application of
H. w. Bailey and others, in which
they ask the district court for an
order compelling Mayor Pogue to
sign city warrants passed by the
council.
Ordinance No. As was given its
second reading.
In the matter of application of
Tillie Larson for license to sell in
loxicating liquors, the council, by a
vote of six ayes and one nay, grant,
ed said license.
