Election Notes

1t was big surprise to the enthusiastic
Ferris supporters" when it was found that
Martin carried Beach. They expected
Ferris to win two to one all over the Gold
en- Valley, according to the Ferris news
papers, who also claimed that Ferris would
carry Sentinel Butte, which went s. to 16
for Martin. The Golden Valley gave him
over 100 majority.
]. A. Paxton had no opposition. He
stood on the side lines and watched the
fun.
7. G. Plomasen, our genial barber,
was elected county surveyor. There was
no candidate on the ticket and he made the

The primary election held here
last Wednesday was the biggest
and most exciting election ever
witnessed in Billings county.
With one or two exceptions, the
offices from state senate to assess
ors were bitterly contested to the
very end and the result in almost
every instance was in question
until the last. Never was there
a more exciting day in Beach.
The fight had been so bitter and
feeling had run SO high that when
election day came the town was
in a tumult and great excite
ment prevailed. If the celcbra-
ton here on the Fourth causes
as much excitement, as we'll as
amusement, no one will have any
complaint to make.
Politicians and campaigncrs
We're as thick as flies over IL mo-
lasses barrel on a hot day and
many an argument was beat out
on the street, to the amusement
of those ON the side lines, be-
tween the different factions. 10
say the least it was day long to
be remembered in Beach.
The main fight here, and ap-
parently all over the county, was
over the senatorship, but the
Martin supporters were more in
evidence and were out with decor
ated rigs and automobiles with
colors flying. The count shows
that Martin carried Beach and
every other precinct in the Valley.
with one exception, giving him in
the neighborhood of 100 votes
majority in the Golden Valley.
This is certainly fine showing,
considering that the principle
fight on Martin was made here.
On the east side, where Ferris
Golden Valley chronicle. (Beach, Billings County, N.D.) 1905-1916, 1908-06-26

had everything to himself, Martin
was badly beaten, with the result
that Ferris carried the county by
12l votes. In Oliver county
Martin carried by % and in Mcr-
Ger his majority is about 80, Civ
ing him a majority over Ferris of
about 30 votes in the district.
For representatives VIC have onl
received the Billings county vote
which puts Young ahead, with
McLear second and Mutchlcr
third.
The next office which was
bitterly fought for was treauurer.
Like Martin, Mckibbin carried
Beach and was the favoritc here
by long odds, but Arnolds sys-
te'natic campaigning showed re-
suits in other precincts where he
had men working, and he carried
the election by GG votes over
Mckibbim: Nichols getting only
1913.
For Clerk of Court Paul I.ebo
was the favorite, with Nelson
second and Cahill third. Gilbert
who withdrew from the fight re-
ceived 80 votes. Icbo's vote
was so over Nelson.
The fight over the authorship
was also very close, Olson win
ming by 43. When the returns
first started to come in it looked
as though Olson had IL walll-away,
but the east side went strong for
Mc(ircgor and the finish was
close.
Will won from Snyder, for
sheriff, nearly two to one, and
Kitchen beat CovclI with about
the same percentage
The fight for commissioner in
the second and third districts was
also closely contested. Follis

SLAYER IS UNDER GUARD,
Man Who Was Killed Formerly Lived In Mississippi Town, But Hailed From Dallas, Where He
 Leaves a Wife.

Hattiesburg, Miss, February 15.-(Spe- cial)-W. Lee Booth of Dallas, Tex, was shot and killed this morning by J. F. Wilder in the latter's office at Epps, a hamlet 10 miles south of here, where Will der's sawmill is located. The corpse of Booth was tonight brought to Hatties- burg to be prepared for shipment to Bi- loxi. where his mother lives, and Wilder is at his home under the guard of Sheriff J. c. Magruder. The tragedy is the result of an effort to extort money from Wilder by "Black Hand" methods. MT Wilder is the head of one of the largest lumber manufacturing plants in the state, and is president of the Mississippi Pine associa tion. Booth formerly lived at Hatties- burg, where he edited a weekly newspa- per, and had an agency for life insur- ance concern He has been living in Dallas Tex, of recent years, in the real estate business and he has a wife and family there.
 During the past few weeks Wilder has been receiving letters from Booth de- manding that Wilder pay him s25OO. Will der paid no attention to the letters. A week ago Booth arrived in Ilattiesburg and continued to send these letters to Wilder. Yesterday the two men met here, when Booth told Wilder he was going down to collect that money at the end of a gun and Wilder told him to come on.
 Wilder returned home to Epps last night This morning Booth also went down. On the train Booth gave the con- ductor letter to deliver to Wilder at Epps. The conductor delivered it, and Wilder read it on the depot platform. Booth looking on. Wilder turned and en- tered his office, which was near by, and Booth followed. AS soon as he entered Booth announced that he had come after that s2500 and started to get out his gun. The weapon hung in the scabbard and Wilder brought up shotgun, which he fired twice Into the man. One load en- tered Booths chest in front and the other entered the side of his face, and he fell to the floor dying.
 Sheriff Magruder went to the scene late in the day and delivered the corpse to an undertaken for shipment. The sheriff re- mains in charge of MT. Wilder, who will be given an examination trial on Monday, when it is believed he will be discharged.
 Booth has wife at Dallas, who was ap- prised of the tragedy by wire, and she In turn communicated with Booths mother at Biloxi and arrangements for the inter ment at the latter place were made.
