MANDAN GIRL MADE ESCAPE.

Ran Away From the crittenden
Home.
About a month ago a young girl
about sixteen years of age, Mary AM
undson by name, was sent from Man
dan to the Crittenden home in Bis
marck, supposedly in a delicate con.
dition. 1t now transpires, according
to the doctors, she is not in any such
shape.
One morning last week she ran
away from the home and went to the
house of Sheriff McGillis. The matron
Of the home was communicated with.
She came to the sheriff's home and
tried to induce the girl to return with
her. This she would not do but per.
sisted in staying where she was.
She was taken to Mandan and turn
ed over to the authorities at that
place.
1t is thought that the girl is not
bright. She had been living with an
aunt about thirty-five miles south Of
Mandan. Her father lives with her
step-mother in Connecticut, and about
year ago the girl came to North Da-
kota to live.

NEWS OF THE SLOPE
MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED.
Authorities investigating Death Of a
Former Minot Girl.

Authorities Investigating Death of
Former Minot Girl.
Miss May Harris, who formerly
lived in Minot and who died at Gull
bertson, Mont, March II, may have
been murdered according to the opin-
ion of the Montana authorities, who
have ordered her body exhumed and
a postmortem held. One of the i'm
portant witnesses is Miss Lillian
Webster, who was present at the time
of her death and who is now in Minot.
Miss Webster was examined by the
authorities, and her testimony is prac-
tically as follows:
She was with Miss Harris at Cul.
the death. A man by the name of Joe
Manning was a constant companion
Of the deceased, and the day previous
to her death had gotten into seri-
GUS alteration with her, bruising her
body and nearly choking her. Among
other blows was one struck back of
her head, which the doctors now
claim caused clot of blood to form
which eventually led to her death.
Miss Webster testified that Miss Har-
ris was unable to get up, and that
while she was addicted to the use of
morphine it was not from an over
dose that she died. Manning is at
present serving two years sentence
in the penitentiary at Deer Lodge for
an assault committed two years ago.
The testimony will be taken to the
Montana authorities, who will con-
tinue the case.

The Celebrating Warriors TAX
Charge Of Capital City.

Policeman Ely of Bismarck had
quite an interesting time one night
recently with a band Of soldiers out
for a good time. The soldiers were
making a good deal of racket, and
when cautioned about it did not take
kindly to the advice, and proceeded
on their old style of procedure with
the result that an arrest was made.
At this the rest of the men protested
and said their comrade should not be
run IN, and as a result there were
several sore heads caused by the MIN
BILE action Of the officers club, and
three of the men were placed in jail
after Deputy Sheriff Mcdonald came
to the assistance of the policeman.
About this time provost guard ar.
rived from the post and drove the SOL
diers back to quarters and succeeded
in getting freed the men In Jail on

Graduates and Former Students Of
state University to Organize.
There is strong probability OF a
North Dakota Alumni association, the
organization to include not only grad
yates, but also former students.
There are at least fifteen in Minot
who are eligible and the formation of
such a club would do much to keep
up the college spirit. Prof. Koch, who
gave a reading in Minot week ago,
aroused the enthusiasm in the plan
and told of the other towns around
Minot where clubs had been formed.
Towner has a fourishing one, as has
Grand Forks and Fargo. Mr.. Nestos
is interested in the organization OF
the club in Minot and is endeavoring
to get the names Of all former
students. The organization will prob
ably be completed in short time.

w,LLlsToN HAS EXTRA MAYOR
Two Men Claim to Be Elected to the
Office.

Office.
A rather peculiar condition exists
in Williston at present, inasmuch as
there are two men who claim to be
entitled to the Office of mayor. These
two men are Charles Baldwin and
Mayor Wegley, both of whom claim to
be duly elected to serve in the capac-
ity Of mayor during the coming year.
The matter will come to head at
the time Of taking Office this week, as
it is believed that at that time the
first step will be taken to place Mr..
Baldwin in as mayor, and his claims
will be vigorously opposed by the
present chief executive.
At the municipal election SO votes
were cast for the position of mayor
in the various wards of the city. That
such voting was in progress was un-
known except to the few who cast
such ballots. When the polls closed
and the counting of the votes COM
menced, attorneys appeared before
the various boards asking that the
NOl0S U0 COuuICO VI ACAu00u Ala OAuSA
that some record might be made of it.
Following short discussion the
votes were counted and Mr.. Baldwin
was given thirty-three votes for the
position Of mayor. The city canvass
ing board at its session threw the
votes out, refusing to count them.
The present city executive was
elected to the position year since
for period of two years. He claims
that there was no call for the election
of a mayor at this time. The sup
rorters of Mr.. Baldwin make the
claim that the city should elect the
mayor this year according to the law,
and will make fight along this line.
Attorneys A. J. Dryer and Beese &
Greer, represent Charles Baldwin,
while it is understood that Mayor
Wegley has also secured counsel.

of 1879 to SO the house Of representa-
tives yesterday decided against the
presidents program for four battle
ships and adhered to the recommen-
dation of its committee on naval az.
fairs for two vessels of that type
This reult was reached after a debate
which lasted for four hours and was

ton of the navy increase provision Of

ton of the bill the measure was prac-
tically concluded with the Disposition
Of the provision.
Battle Is Hard Fought.
The provision for battleships was
the chief subject of interest, the COM
mittee's recommendation for two
ships of that type prevailing by de-
cisive vote after hard fought effort
to increase the number to foaln:.
The increase was opposed by Mr..
Tawney. chairman of the COMMITTEES
on naval affairs; Mr.. Willetts, mi.
nority leader, and others, and was ad-
vocatsd by Mr.. Hobson of Alabama.
who declared that in relation to- tlies
increase Of old nations four battle
ships would only keep the American
navy abreast of other great navies.-
Longwcrth Gets Into Il.
Mr.. Lorgworth Of Ohio in a vigor.-
GUS speech told the house that the
president was mere interested il, this
increase than in any other question
before congress, and as practically ak
of them had in the last election de-
clared that they had supported him.
this was good opportunity to live up
to that declaration.
An amendment by Mr.. Tawney to-.
reduce the number of new battleships;
to one was voted down by an evens
more decided majority than was Mr.
Hobson's proposition for an increase
to four.
Amendments were adopted that one
of the battleships and one of the COL
licrs shall be built in navy yard
The bill as it stands authorizes ex-
perditures of $107,873,000.
