FOUND HIS man
BENSON COUNTY SHERIFF Lo-
GATES HORSE THIEF IN SEAT
TIE AND GETS HIM.

Word was received at Fessenden
that Sheriff Aker Of Benson county
had found H. A. M Shaffer, the sus-
pected horse thief who escaped last
May while being arrested in Seattle.
No particulars of the hunt which re-
suited in his capture are obtainable.
He will be brought back to Benson
county to stand trial, together with
Frank Mcdonald, confederate, who
is languishing in Jail in Minnewau-
kan.
After a number of horses had
been stolen in Wells county last
spring, Shaffer, with two others, were
suspected. Two deputies from Wells
county were sent into the vicinity of
the Shaffer farm and discovered
them in a straw stack. Sheriff Aker
with seven deputies made the arrest
and while at the house Shaffer asked
to be allowed to go into the house,
which request was granted. He

:. ARENA ::

Chas. Ahho, the notorious horse
thief, who lived in this township and
stole horse near Hurdsfeld, N. D.,
and gave the deputy sheriffs the slip,
was captured last Monday at Medina
by JEFF May and Reese Lukins, who
proved to be regular sleuth hounds,
trailing the outlaw, who proved to be
apt in lodging, as he gave them the
dodge that night from the city bastil.,
where he had been lodged that night
for safe keeping, by breaking the cage
lock. The Wells county sheriff came
down that night after the man, only
to find his hopes vanished. Ahho took
through freight train from that place
to Bismarck, to make Dunk McGillis,
sheriff of Burleigh county, friendly
call. McGillis in the meantime came
up to northeast Burleigh and north
west Kidder to institute a systematic
search for the notorious outlaw. Ahho,
finding the county Jail closed and the
sheriff gone on goose chase, con-
cluded to make trip out home on
section 32-142-75, and was captured by
Charles Robinson and Walter Jensen,
who delivered him over to the Bur.
leigh county authorities. All the sher-
ifs and their deputies are to be COM
plimented with the interest they took
in trying to capture the outlaw.

stad, while driving from Dickinson to
his homestead near Rainy Butte with
a load of lumber, lost control of his

sustaining fracture of his right leg

time the accident occurred Roustad
was about ten miles from Dickinson.
Unable to obtain assistance of any
kind, he was compelled to crawl on all
fours on the frozen ground until BE-
reached a farm house, where he was
sheltered and cared for, later being
brought to this city and placed in the
Dickinson hospital. In his search for

WHILE HUNTING MONDAY, H.
YEAR-oLD BOY WAS SHOT
BY PLAYMATE.

Minor, N. D. April Shot while
hunting and incidentally playing In
dian on the river banks, was the fate
of Emil Berquist, one of a party of
boys who went down to the lake yes
terday to do some hunting. There
were eight boys in the party, and after
doing some hunting they proceeded to
play fighting Indians with their un-
loaded rifles. AS the playing was in
progress flock of ducks was seen ap-
preaching. Quickly Otto Olsen loaded
his piece, a 20-25 rife, but the birds
made detour and did not come with
in range.
Olsen resumed his playing brave
red man, but in his excitement he for.
got to extract the cartridge from his
gun and snapped the latter as he had
been doing before he saw the ducks
The gun was fired without any par
ticular aim. but the charge entered the
breast of young Berquist, just above
the heart, and he fell dead before he
could take two steps.
Olsen and his victim were about Ia
years of age. The unfortunate deed is
considered an accident pure and
simple.

Harvey, N. ID. April S-The largest
political gathering in the history of
Harvey greeted E. R. Sinkler in the
opera house in this city last Saturday
night.
He made a plea for harmony in the
republican party, and said that he
earnestly hoped that insurgent and
stalwart would go into the Minot con-
vention and come out republicans,
that they would bury their differences
in that convention hall. He said:

means or foul at the polls, win at the
primaries at whatever cost, and yoL
will leave behind trail of deep bit
terness which will mean political
death at the polls in November.
Mr.. Sinkler also said that there was
no doubt but hat he would be nom
mated, and when he said this the
large audience applauded him to the
echo.
Voter after voter expressed himself
as believing that Sinkler was the
right man to send to congress. His
arraignment of "that sanctified bunch
of political reformers," as he called
them which framed slate at Valley
City, was fierce, and his condemna
tion of gang rule or bossism in any
form was what the people liked.

Winner of Mems Hearts.

Some wise newspaper correspondent
In writing Of the mystery of Mr.. Taft"
announces tremendous discovery. He
solemnly declares that the secret Of
the big secretary is that "he wins the
hearts Of individuals, but he does not
fire the heart of the sovereign multi
tude." That is a good example Of
phrasemaking, but does it hold wa
ter? What is the 'sovereign multi
tude' but collection of individuals?
If one has the faculty Of making those
he meets his friends, will he not make
the masses his friends as soon as they
know him? Until a comparatively re-
cent date Mr.. Taft has never come
into intimate personal contact with the
American multitude. But he did not
fail in winning the collective hearts Of
the Filipinos or the Porto Ricans or
any other people that have become &C.
quainted with him.
Even granting the sapient CORE
spondent's sweeping assertion, howev-
er, what does it all amount to? Where

more dignifed and less dashing type
that can inspire individual respect
rather than elicit the cheers Of the
crowd? Magnetic leaders like the
Clays. the Websters, the Blaines and
the Bryans have missed the presidency,
which has gone to the Harrisons, the
Hayeses and the Clevelands.
OF course President Roosevelt is a
notable exception to this general rule,
but it must never be forgotten that
his first entry into the White House
was because of an assassin's bullet.
Therefore it is scarcely fair to argue
from his case as precedent.

OF course the rule forbidding children
eating in school hours has not been re-

A Great Privilege.


The next best thing to being presi-
dent yourself is having your man
there. lnasmuch as only one man can
live in the White House at time, it is
this sort OF vicarious occupancy of the
office that must satisfy the other if
teen or twenty millions. But what
does that matter to a man who has
really entered into the American spir-
1t? Even if he cannot deliver the in
augural address himself he can helm
make the man who does, can call him
by his front name and take an init
mate interest in his comings and Co.
1ngs. his family and his policies. 1t is
for this that the voter each four years
neglects his business to argue politics,
yells himself hoarse at political rallies
and marches through sun or rain to
elect his favorite. 1t is great thing
just how great we have not yet meas.
ured. 1t gives breath to manhood and
makes the spirit Of the nation.
That the president Of the United
States has more power than any other
ruler on earth is so universally recog-
nized that it has become a platitude.
But his sovereignty is delegated and is
under a time lock. It does not inhere
in him and his family, but in several
million John Smiths and Tom Joneses,
who collectively are greater than all
presidents and all administration
whatsoever. If he is a temporary mon
arch, he is monarch made by the
people. They give and take away.
Theirs is the substance Of sovereignty,
OF which he is but the passing symbol.
The nation is now in one of its quad
Tennial throes Of choosing a new form
into which to incarnate it's spirit, a
new figure into whom to breathe the
breath Of it's national authority. Who
is the man? Taft? Bryan? Hughes?
One Of the two Johnsons? Knox?
Gray? La Toilette? Harmon? For
aker? Fairbanks? Or some unguessed
candidate to be born of convention
deadlocks?
Despite the growing spirit of political
independence, we are still a nation
ruled by parties. Undoubtedly the
man who is to succeed Roosevelt will
be named by one Of the two dominant
groups that we label Republican and
Democrat The first interest, there
fore, centers in the nomination struc-

Rides a $1,000 Horse.

When he became secretary of war
Mr.. Taft had to have his chairs and
other furniture built to order. He re-
quires horses especially constructed In
the same way. Recently he hunted all
over the country to find a suitable
steed and had to pay $1,000 for one
guaranteed to bear up under the strain.
Atlas had hard job, but the Taft
horses could tell him some things that
would make his load seem easier.
Secretary Taft does not want to be
president, a feeling that all the other
candidates share with him. His lifes
ambition has been to sit on the su-
preme bench, and both his friends and
enemies agree that he would grace
that tribunal. When he took the gov
ernorship Of the Philippines, it was ex-
planned to him that it might prevent
him from realizing his aspiration to go
to the nations highest court, but he
nevertheless chose to follow. duty.
Fate sometimes has a strange way Of
dealing out poetic justice in such
cases. Abraham Lincoln lost the SEN
ate by cllnging to his principles. but
won the presidency. Is history again
to assume her familiar role of q re-
peater?

tactful and gracious hostess very
popular in Washington society. She
is quite as good politician as her
husband and is probably more ambi-

Unpretentious and Clean Minded.
The chief characteristics of William
Howard Taft are breadth of view, un-
failing optimism, judicial balance. cou-
pied with a rare degree of executive
ability, capacity for work and the un-
failing aptitude to meet any situation
and perform any task that comes to
him. Withal he is diplomat, a poll
tician in the best sense of that abused
term and an unpretentious and clean
minded American gentleman.
Secretary Taft is nearly fifty-onc
years Of age and weighs But why 80
into details that might be embar-
RAISING? Indeed. no one knows exact
~ how much he does weigh except
Mr.. Taft himself, and he won't tell.
Besides, it is as indicate to talk of
the ayoirdupois Of man who tips the
scale at more than 300 pounds as it is
to inquire into the age Of a woman
past thirty. Anyway Mr.. Taft weighs
enough, and we shall have to be con-
tent with that.
The secretary of peace, war and mat
rimony is democratic in manner,
good story teller, blue eyed, slightly
baldheaded, not afraid of a boss, loyal
to his chief and man whose good
nature is like a gale.
His only form Of exercise is horse
back riding. This also furnishes exer-
else for the horse, leading to magnifi-
cent results in the line Of equine mus
cular development. Mr.. Taft gets on
his mount with stepladder, but once
in the saddle he can be shaken loose
by nothing less than an earthquake.

"SeCretarV of Peace"

Despite the fact that Taft has called
himself the secretary of peace and has
made matches and settled quarrels in
two hemispheres, there was a time
when he led class scrimmages in COL
lege and whipped an editor who libeled
his father. His frequent and infec-
tious laugh may be freighted with op-
timism and good nature, but his nose
and chin are those of a warrior.
