PEAkE MAY BE
THE new ADJUTANT
HIS PREsENsE AT BISMARCK RE.
WIVES RuMoR or PROMOTION.
Col. Peake Is not. Talking About. the
Matter, But Friends Belisve Hs Will
Land Poole's Job--Has Been in State
Guard Many Years and Has Made
Good. .s... .,... ,

:. Bismarck, N D., Dec. 10.-Col. A. P.
Peake. N. D. NJ. G. Of Valley City,
was here yesterday to attend the de-
dfcation of Co. AIS new armory and
his presence revived the report that
he is to be the next adjutant general
the term of the present incumbent
expiring about Jan. s, 1909.
The colonel is not communicative
on the subject, but under the law he
is next in line for promotion, although
the governor has the entire list OF
field and staff officers to select from. I
Away back in 1884 Colonel Peake
entered the territorial guard as first
sergeant Of the Valley City company
and rose through the successive ranks
to that OF commander of the regiment.
which rank he has held for many
years. He has attended the regular
army maneuvers and many state
camps, and from his ultimate ac-
quaintance with the guard is we'll fitted
for the position Of adjutant general
in the opinion OF his friends. +
But the colonel is a busy man, hav-
ing many interests in many places,
in and out Of the state, and there
is some question whether he would
accept the promotion--certainly there
would be no inducement from a ,finan-
cial point OF view.
There Is little doubt but that his
appointment would be eminently aat-
isfactory to the state guard.

GIRL Is TRUE TO LE8uE.
Prosecution Is Disappointed in Wit
ness From Grand Forks.

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 1O.-The
prosecution of Fred Lebue, a former
Grand Forks man, accused of the muir
der Of the Yoakuns and on trial at
Kalispell, is anxious to secure evidence
from Grand Forks, to aid in f1is5convic-
tion. ~. - u.s@N<F
Some weeks ago it was stated that
Mamie Cassantine, a girl friend or Le-
bue, who came to Grand Forks about
the time he is said to have killed Ehe
Yoakums for the purpose of robbery,
had in her possession certain letters
in which Lebue had made some damag-
ing admissions. She recently went to
Culbertson, aMont., and declares. there
was nothing discriminating in the let
ters. Lebue asserted in, the missives
that he killed the Yoakums in self
defense, she says.
1t is stated she will be witness for
the defense. although the state had
counted on her testimony to aid in
sending Lebue to the gallows.
