Your Pledges are a MOCkery:

William Howard Taft, in a
az eech delivered on September 90
last in st. Paul, one of long
series of addresses in which he
sought the support of the voters
for the presidency, had this to
say;
at is entirely right that the pro,
tected interests should come in and
be heard and see to it that their
property and business Is not de.
stroyed.
But of course they are interest
ed parties, and what they say
must be weighed with other evil
dence. The Republican party will
not pass tariff bill that will de-
stroy a single industry in thi:
country, but, on the other hand
it does insist that excessive rates
shall not continue.
If the Republican party hal
been insistent that excessive tariff
rates shall not continue there hal
been no manifestion of that atti
tude on the part of its leaders
who are forcing through mos
obnoxious bill. Practically nj
other evidence save that of specia
privilege has been taken. You
pledges have become mockery
Mr.. President. What are you go
ing to do about it?

The YOUNG HERO

Olympia, Wash. Dec. "a. - Harry

heavily loaded Northern Pacific pas
senger train from disastrous wreck
yesterday. Hunter and Sam Bur-
rows, a boy of the same age, were
gathering Christmas decorations along
the right of way east of Olympia,
when they discovered broken rail
which left an opening in the track
several feet long. Knowing a pass
enger train was to pass soon. the
boys determined to give warning.
Hunter started up the track in the
direction of Tacoma and Burrows
started to Olympia, both running at
good speed. Hunter had proceeded
only a short distance when he discov-
cred a train bearing down upon him.
Selling his handkerchief he waved
it frantically. The train was brought
to stop within five feet of the broken
rail. r
, The passengers and train crew lion
lied the boy and took him aboard the
train. ~.

ENGINE WHEELS
DEVILS LAKE RAILROAD EMPLOYE MET
TERRIBLE DEART WHILE ALONE
ON THE TRACK

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 28.-David
Gallagher, employed by the Great
Northern railway as night coach
cleaner in this city, was crushed to
death under a moving engine near the
coal shutes early Christmas morning.
No one saw the accident and no one
knows just how it occurred.
The deceased had finished his
nights work and put in his time at s
o'clock. His remains were discovered
by Engineer Williams shortly after
o'clock. They had evidently been
dragged and rolled about 200 feet un-
der the engine. The head and chest
were crushed in, one arm cut off and
the clothing badly scorched and
burned.
Gallagher came to Devils Lake from
,Dundas, Mimi. He leaves a wife and
three sons, the latter all grown and
doing for themselves. They reside in
Minnesota. His wife has two daugh-
ters and son who reside with her.
He had two houses on West Eighth
street, in one of which he resided
with his family. He was member
of the Loyal Order Of Moose. ;,
The remains were taken to Gilbert
sons undertaking rooms and prepared
for burial. They will be shipped to.
Dundas, Mimi, for interment this aft.
ernoon. Mrs, Gallagher and one Of
her daughters will accompany them.

PRAISES WORK
OF BEN OLSON
JUDGE COSS IN SPEAKING OF WORK OF
HORSE THIEVES C0MMENDS WORK
OF OLSON IN GETTING GANG

In speaking of the gang of horse
thieves which has operated in this
section of the state for several years
and of the work of bringing the mem
bers to justice Judge Goss praised
very highly the work of our present
sheriff, Ben Olson. He stated that
the authorities had been after the
gang for a number of years but that
the credit for the breaking up of the
gang was due almost entirely to the
efforts of Sheriff Olson.
Even since taking the oath Of Office
Sheriff Olson has been out after the
law breakers and this gang Of horse
thieves in particular. Hundreds of
horses have been stolen in this sec
ton of the country but we believe
that this will come to stop for we
are convinced that OlSon has rounded
up the principal members of the horse
stealing gang. And in doing this he
has done a great work for Will
liams county farmers. They may now
be able to keep their horses over
night without sleeping with them.

RUMOR SAYS JONES
MAY PLEAD GUILTY
REPORT TO THAT EFFECT COMES EROM
RUCBY-.wlLL Be FIRST CASE IN
JANUARY TERM "

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 24.-If q report
which was received from Rugby, N.
D., this morning Is correct, Andy
Jones, North Dakota's unique repre-
sentative of high financing, will offer
no resistance when his case Is called
for trial on Jan. 5. in the United
States court. A definite rumor that
he will enter a plea of guilty has gone
out from. Rugby, which is verified by
certain circumstances here.
When asked concerning the matter
this noon. Judge Edward Engerud,
leading counsel for Jones, stated that
he knew nothing concerning such a
report. He declined to make any
statement concerning the matter
neither affirming or denying it.
The Jones case will be the first one
called when the federal petit jury
convenes in Fargo the first week in
January. Thorough preparation has
been made by the government to pros
ecute this action the first on the calen-
dar. Special Agent Proctor, an expert
accountant, has been engaged on the
books of the Rugby National bank for
the past two months and has filed data
with the department said to be the
most complete ever made in a case of
similar nature. a@ .n ..<
All the books and records of the de-
funct bank are held in the Office of
the United States district attorney.
where they have been since the gov
ernment took hand in the affair,
following the closing of the doors of
the institution. No effort has been
made by attorneys for Jones to re-
view the bank books. not more than
an hour having been spent there in
search of facts and figures. Atty. w.
E. Purcell of Wahpeton who is asso-
ciated with Judge Engerud in the de-
tense has spent no time here on the
case, so far as can be learned. It
was anticipated that an application
would be made by the defense for
access to the books a large portion
of the time. but such was not the
case.
More interest is centered in the
Jones case than any action in the
federal court here for years. When
the adjourned term is formally open
ed the eyes of the state will center on
Fargo, where the history of the
Rugby man will be aired.

of this kind are now being accepted
by the board and the only thing
that would prevent is lack of funds
when the bonds are ready. This event
is very improbable, however, as the

by the first of February there should
