WAS SHOT BY NECR0S WHO ATTEMPT.
Ed TO HOLD UP CREW SAME
TRAIN HELD UP TWICE

A 500 brakeman was shot and
wounded by a couple of negroes
near Rodgers, N. D., Saturday.
The negroes were stealing a ride
on the train at the time. The
brakeman saw them and ordered
them off. They refused to decamp
and one of them pulled gun and
shat at the man, hitting him twice.
The shots attracted the remainder
of the crew and upon their ap-
proach the coons made good their
escape.
The same train was held up in
the Valley City yards by two men
who passed along the train, order
ing the crew and several men who
were stealing a ride to throw up
their hands. They secured con-
siderable money and then escaped.

Enveloped in Flames.

Last Sunday, while Ingebret
Rukke was burning a fire break
around his buildings on his farm
two miles north of Robson, the
flames got beyond control and
both he and his wife worked he
roically to check their spread.
While at work, the clothes of
Mrs. Rukke ignited and she was
soon enveloped in flames. Her
husband succeeded in tearing the
clothes from her body, but re-
ceived severe burns on his hands
in the attempt.
The unfortunate woman was
terribly burned over the entire
lower portion of her body and
she suffered greatly from the
shock.

moned and soon relieved the suf-
fering patient, and altho she will
be confined to her bed for some
time, it is thought she will recov-

Senator McCumber was shown the

effect that Congressman Gfonna
would support Mr.. Marshall for
United States senator, and two
years hence would be a senator in
McCumber's place. The senator
said:
II have the best reason in the

will not be my opponent. He has
made good as a representative OF
the state in the house. | believe
he will come to the front rapidly
in the next two years. We have
worked together in absolute har-
mony. Ihave looked especially
to Mr.. Gronna for such assistance
as l needed on measures in the
house, and I have looked after
measures in the senate in which he
had been interested. Our rela-
tions have been most cordial and
harmopiops.

G. N. EMPLOYED
EXTRA CREWS
ELEVEN new CREWS PUT ON DALOTA
DINSION---HEAVY GRAIN
MOVEMENT

Minot, Sept, IA. Business on
the Great Northern Dakota divi-
sion has increased to a remarkable
extent within the last ten days.
The heavy grain movement is
largely responsible for this graf
flying state of affairs. Eleven new
crews have been put to work
within ten days. All of the old
men are at work and some new
ones have been qiven places. On
other divisions of the road there
has been a correspondingly large
increase in the forces.
Even with all the available
equipment and men at work the
company is having its hands full
in getting the grain out of the
way. On some of the branch
lines the elevators are filled and
farmers are rushing their grain in
so fast that cars cannot be secured
to get the grain out of the way.
n travelling man who came in
from Barton last night says that
the elevators there were filled and
between 40 and so wagon loads of
grain was waiting in line. There
is q great crop Of wheat and other
grain on the Bottineau line and the
farmers will be more prosperous
that ever before.
The traffic is much heavier this
year than last at this time. The
weather has something to do with
conditions Of affairs. There has
besu no delay from rain.

PRISON WARDEN
TO SPRING TRAP
SUPREME COURT RULING SAYS MUIR
DERERS MUST HANG AT Bis
MARCK.-THREE MUST HANG

Bismarck, N. d., Sept. IA.
The State supreme court holds
that the three prisoners in the
state penitentiary who have been
sentenced to death by hanging,
shall be hanged in the state prison,
and that it is the duty of the
prison warden to spring the trap.
The prisoners under the sentence
of death are Robert S. Noah of
Ward county and the Peltier
brothers of Bottineau county.
Some time ago Warden Hells-
from referred the matter to Gov
ernor Burke as to whether the
law requiring the warden of the
penitentiary to execute criminals.
who had received the sentence of
death was constitutional and if
not the sheriffs in the different
counties would be compelled to
hang these prisoners in their re-
spective counties. The warden
raised the question as q result of
the decision in the temperance
commissioner case which held that
jurisdiction of sheriffs could not
be imposed upon. Governor Burke
referred the question to the SUI
preme court, and on Friday the
supreme court handed down q de-
cision as mentioned above.

Charles Batey, of Buford, was
arrested in the Williston yards
Monday night by Deputy Sheriff
Corbett of Buford and Chief of
Police Hennegan. Batey was ar
rested on the grand larceny charge

money from a Buford house.
When arrested Batey was armed
with large A caliber revolver
and attempted to use it. The Off
GERS were to quick for him how
ever and got the gun away. He
admitted to having travelled under
several names. He answers to the
description of young fellow
wanted in Washington for Jail
breaking and the chief believes
he is the man for whom a reward
is offered.

President L. w. Hill of the
Great Northern, accompanied by
Travelling Freight Agent James
Robinson and private secretary,
spent several hours in this city
last Monday, coming from the
the west. The party left Sher-
wood Thursday travelling by auto
mobile over the northern part of
Williams county and west into
Montana as far as Plentywood.
From Plentywood the trip was
continued to Popular, Mondak and
Buford. The Buford- Trenton Ir-
rigation project was taken in and
as soon as Williston was reached
the machine was headed north and
several hours were given over to
an inspection of the Williston pro-
ject. Mr.. Hill was especially in
terested in the Power House and
displayed close acquaintance
with electrical power machinery,
gass plants and coal mines. His
company has had in view the
building Of a power plant in Will
liston, using our splendid Ignite
in gas producers for generating
electrical power to operate the
division east as far as Minot.
The state experimental farm
means such to Williston and the
farmers hereabouts, according to
MIR. Hill, and the tests and expert
ments carried on there should be
followed closely. He believes
that the irrigation project will
bring many new people who will
farm small tracts for a few years
and then retire as wealthy as the
irrigation farmers in the Billings
Montana section where conditions
are identical with our own.
That the Great Northern Off
cials have great faith in Williston
was evidenced by President Hill's
remarks. He had no hesitation in
saying that "Williston is going to
be a winner It is his opinion
that it will be one of the largest
cities Of the Northwest and he
compared it, particularly with
Billings, Montana, a city of 5000
people. The volume of business
done by the G. N. here is a source
Of great satisfaction and when

PRES. HILL SEES GREAT
FUTURE FOR WuLlST0N
PRESIDENT !. ". HILL AND PARTY VISITED WIIIIST0N
INSPECTED IRRIGATION PROJECT
BUILD DEPOT NEXT YEAR

asked if it entitled Williston to q
passenger depot President Hill
stated that we are entitled to q
new depot right now and that the
only thing that prevented it was
the fact that no building whatever
is being done this year. He added
that next year there would be
something doing however.
The friendly relations existing
between the Great Northern and
the people of Williston was COM
mented upon by Mr.. Hill and he
said that the Company Officials
knew they could always count on
us in everything that was right.
Although no definite statements
were made it is understood that
railroad construction is soon to be-
gin in this immediate vicinity.
The recent activity manifested by
the 500 line in Ward and Williams
counties as we'll as the proposed in
vasion of the Great Northern ter
ritory by the Milwaukee has stir
red up the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern to their old time
leadership as territory openers.
There is NO question but that the
Northern Pacific line from Mandan
north to Williston is to be built at
once as the right of way has been
purchased covering three-fourths
of the survey already. If, as has
been stated by railroad officials,
this line is part of a great north
and south system extending from
Canada to New Orleans, following
the Missouri and Mississippi water
grade route it will add to Willis
toms growth and Importance ten
fold.

FATAL SHOOTING
IN MCKENZIE COUNTY
SHOOTING SCRApE IN Mckenzie COUNTY MONDAY BE-
TWEEN HANLEY AND ERICKSON PROVES
FATAL FOR HANIEY

A quarrel of several years
standing came to a fatal ending IN
Mckenzie county last Monday
noon when Oscar Erickson shot
and instantly killed j. G. Hanley.
Hanley was struck in the back of
the head and the bullet passed
clear through the brain. After
the shooting Erickson went to
Schafer and gave himself up to the
authorities.
According to reports the trouble
started couple of years ago in q
dispute over the ownership of sew
eral head of cattle. The cattle
we're claimed by Hanley and by
Erickson or his relatiues. On
Monday, according to the story
told by witness of the affair,
Erickson went to the claim be-
longing to Hanley's son and got
the cattle. Hanley, his son John,
and hired man, Carl Strain, were
on the ground and went to get the
cattle back. j. G. Hanley rode
up after the cattle and in the dis
n,,ta which followed he started
shooting. One bullet just grazed
Erickson's cheek inficting slight
wound. Hanley then turned to
drive the cattle away and was
about one hundred feet away
when Erickson started shooting.
He fired three or four shots and
the last one struck Hanley in the
back of the head causing instant
death. Hanley's son and the hired
man ran to him as he fell but he
was dead when they picked him
up.
The remains were brought to
this city and placed in the under
taking parlors of G. M. Thomas.
DR.. G. j. Hanley Of Deer River,
Mimi, brother of the dead man,
arrived in the city yesterday and
took the remains to St. Paul last
night for burial.
j.. C. Hanley was about forty
eight years old and leaves a wife
and three children. His wife, son
and youngest daughter lived with
him on his Mckenzie county
ranch. The oldest daughter lives
in St. Paul.

II do not know whom Mr..
Gronna will support for United
States senator, johnson or Mar
shall. He certainly has a right to
'espouse the cause of either, or to
remain neutral if he feels that he
is not called upon to take part in
the contest. Whatever may be
his attitude on the senatorial ques-
ton this year, he will have no
more hearty supporter for renom-
ination than l shall be.
Il believe he will have no serious
opposition two years from now,
but that upon his record the Re-
publicans of the state will unani-
mously renominate him.
Il do not believe there was any
clash at Bismarck between any
factions of the Republican organ
ization. The members as l am in
formed were nearly divided in
their sentiment on the question
of guaranteeing bank deposits.
Neither the bankers nor the mem
bers of the Republican party are
united on that subject. Mr.. Gronna
supported the guaranty scheme in
the house and Senator Nelson and
myself made special efforts in the
senate to make such guaranty a
part of the financial bill. This is
a matter on which the Republicans
may honestly differ.
The national Republican plat
form advocates a postal savings de-
posit law in lieu of a guaranty of
bank deposits. / think this law
will, as a means of keeping all the
money of the country in circula-
tion, secure the principal benefits
expected of the bank deposit
guaranty scheme"
