WESTERN sTuTsMAN o. 4.

Bert Weld spent Tuesday in the city
from the ranch near Cleveland. He
says that farmers are in fair average
condition 10 the western part of the
county this year, and that many Of
the residents of western Stutsman
are In reality getting ahead faster
than in other parts of the county,
where grain farming prevails more
exclusively. Mixed farming is SAT-
er source Of dependence and profit
than where SO much land is devoted
to grain alone. Mr.. Weld says that
the predictions made in regard to the
hill country, ten years ago, have more
than proved true; that settlers are
getting in good shape and the Ger
man farmers and others, who have
taken land and farmed it in the right
way are now reaping the results Of
their foresight and lsbor.

CHURCH ROW

There is trouble over church prop

hart on whose land the church is To-
Gated, was brought up Tues. for a
hearing and placed under bond to
keep the peace. Mr.. Burkhart claims
that some six or seven members of
the congregation are with him in the
contention. The other faction of the
members is represented by the minis
ter and Albert Bast on whose COM
plaint Burkhart was held for a hear
ing. He furnished bonds and the
scrap is yet to be settled. Some of
the members claimed that Burkhart
threatened to shoot those who at
tempted to enter the church, the key
of which has been taken, and the
church locked. Burkhart denies any
threats Of shooting and claims that
his friends in the row have offered to
either buy or sell the church proper
ty and the other faction will not
take any action.

LOOKING FOR PRETExTs

Minneapolis newspapers continue
to reflect the guerrilla like tactics
employed by North Dakota malcon-
tents who seem anxious to overthrow
the will of the majority of the voters
by finding pretexts for electing some
one to the senate whom the voters
evidently do not want. Long screeds
are being sent out of the state con-
tanning reasons and suggestions for
the election of some other person
than M. N. Johnson, the republican
nominee, and in all of these articles
favorable references are made to Sem
ator Hansbrough, who no doubt in
tends to become candidate for re-
election and is getting what support
he can. Senator Hansbrough has for
Warded circular letter to every
member elected to the legislature.
The letter calls attention to the fact
that democrats to the number of 10,-
600 or 1000 voted for republican
senatorial candidates, which releases,
according to Mr.. Hansbrough's view,
any existing "moral obligation"
that exists under the law. Mr..
Hansbrough also says that the men,
bers Of the legislature are at liberty
to put the best interests of the state
above the mere personal ambition of
any individual candidate, and makes
plea for his own election on the
ground that his experience in the
senate is more valuable to the peo-
pie of North Dakota than the ser
vices of a new man would be. Mr.,
Hansbrough recounts at some length
his position on committees in the
senate and stated that illness and
lack of organization last spring made
it impossible for him to impress
these matters upon the minds Of the
voters of North Dakota with sufft-
cient force to secure his nomination.

MAY SPLIT WARD COUNTY

Minot, N D., Nov. l6.-Somewhat
of a sensation was caused here late
Saturday afternoon by the announce
ment that Montrail county had car
ried. The canvassing board which
tabulated the returns on county d.
vision yesterday reported late in the
afternoon that Montrail county had
received nearly 200 more than a ma
jority Of the votes cast upon the
proposition. This was great sur
prise because several different tabu-
lations of the votes made previously
showed that Montreal lacked from
300 to 400 votes of a majority.
The other propositions for county
division lost.
The figures are complete with the
exception of two or three precincts
in which no vote was reported. The
election officers of these precincts
have been summoned to bring the re-
turns in, if any votes were cast on
county division. 1t is not thought,
however, that the precincts will
change the result. Stanley will in all
probability be the county seat of
Montrail county. The following is
the vote.
For Montrail county 42l5
Against Montrail county 4O3O
For Lake county 1903
Against Lake county 1853
For Burke county 1855
Against Burke county 4277
