BILE CRIME

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 2-At-
torney General Miller has started
an investigation into the dastardly
crime committed at Aneta q few
weeks ago when a young boy was
so seriously burned that he was
not expected to live. 1t will be
remembered that the crime created
a great sensation in the state at
the time it was committed and it
was stated that it was the work of
blind piggers who took this meth
cd of securing revenge on q man
whom they suspected of being &C
tive in the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law. The boy assaulted
was the son of the suspected man.
Several statements have been made
denying and confirming the report
that the crime was the work of
blind piggers but the attorney gen.
eral has decided to get at the facts
in the case if possible.
One of his assistants is now in
Aneta gathering evidence. 1t is
stated that the state may offer a
reward for the apprehension of
the criminals and if they are
caught and the crime proved
against them it will go hard with
them as feeling is still very high
against the men in Aneta.
The work of the investigation
will be directly under the super
vision of the office of the attorney
general in Bismarck and Mr.. Mil
ler has stated that the case will be
prosecuted to the limit. If it is
proved that the element has been
trying to break the prohibition
law in the state is responsible for
the crime it will 60 long ways

this element. ..... |

No Intention to Offend.

In my article of last week in an.
swer to the article which appeared
in the Williston State appears q
statement concerning the non-pay-
ment of taxes by certain persons,
among which appears the name
of B. G.. Whitehead.
That the name of the editor of
the State appeared at such place
with the others mentioned may be
wrongly construed and it may
have been an injustice to him to
mention his name in such connec-
tion--no intention to offend was in
tended and no inference of that
kind should be drawn. | simply
intended to state facts as they ap-
peared in my books.

derogatory to the character of any
man. If ! cannot say anything
good of man | believe he should
not be mentioned at all.
A mans character is above
riches. | would be the last to be-
s.nirch it.
If, therefor. anyone has con-
strued my former article as an at
tack on Ben G.. Whitehead person

MEETING WAS HELD TUESDAY EVEN
ING RELATIVE TO STRIKE AND
RESOLUTIONS WERE PASSED

u ne, COmmerclal cluO OF w Ills
ton led the way in an endeavor t<
bring, about q peaoable, early ane
,equable settlement of the Switch.
mems strike. The situation wa.
thoroughly gone over at the meet
ing and resolutions relative to the
same were passed. Itis expected
that q similar move will be made
by the Commercial clubs of the
northwest and it is believed that
such "a united effort. on the part ,ot
the business and commercial inter
e,ts will have a tendency to bring
about a speedy settlement. The
resolutions as passed at the meet
ing held Tuesday night follow:
Whereas, at the call of President
F. T. Hawley of the Sw1tchman's I'm.
ion of North America, many of the
switchmen in the employ of the Great
Northern Railway Company and 9TH
er railway companies of the North
west did, on November thirtieth, last,
declare and 60 out on strike, and
Whereas such strike is still con-
tinuing. and
a Whereas in consequence thereof the
freight traffic of the Northwest has
been and still is tied up In such con-
dition that the business men, farm
ers and residents of the territory
reached by these lines are already
feeling it's effect in the non-arrival of
provisions, coal and other necessi-
ties, and business conditions general
ly are thereby greatly anected, and
Whereas continuance of such
strike in the face of the oncoming
winter will, in all probability, result
in great hardship to the people Of the
Northwest, by whom the i'll effects of
such strike will be most keenly felt.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by
the Commercial Club Of Williston, N.
D., through it's Board of Directors.
that every effort be made by the off,
cials of the Switchmen's Union and
the Railway Companies, to adjust the
various matters under controversy, by
Immediately submitting them to arbi.
tration as recommended by the mem
bers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, whose services ~ media
tors were sought before the strike
order was issued.
BIT It Further Resolver, That this
resolution be spread upon the records
of this organization and that copies
thereof be sent to the officials of the
Switchmen's Union, the Railway
Companies and to the various Com
mercial Clubs and business organiza-
tions of the Northwest, to the end
that similar resolutions may be adopt
ed by them. -.>
Be It Further Resolved, That the
good Offices of the Commercial Club
of Williston be rendered both parties
to the controversy to assist in any
way possible in effecting speedy and
satisfactory adjustment of the matters
in dispute. ...r.. .
