CASE lDER
AMUSEMENT
The Case Of Karl Olson VS.. Nc
Gregor is Being Held Under
Advisement..,b by Judge
Winchester.
GREEN RIVER -PRECINCT
MAY Be THROWN OUT

N election contest case which
II will be watch with great
interest by the citizens of
Billings and Stark counties was in
stituted December 2, 1908, when
Karl Olson through his attorney,
F. M. Baker, caused to be filed in
district court complaint in which
he charges that election frauds
were committed in the Green River
precinct Of Billings county at the
last general election which result
ed in the choice of j. A. McGreg-
or, of Medora, as county auditor.
Attorney R. N. Stevens, of Bis
marck, representing j. A. McGreg-
or, demurred to the complaint and
Judge Winchester has taken the
case under advisement. The case
was argued before Judge Winches-
ter by the attorneys at Bismarck
last Saturday. The complainant
asks that the vote of Green River
precinct be thrown out of the gen.
eral election returns on the ground
of fraud. 1t seems that the Green
River precinct gave Olson a large
majority at the primary election
while at the general election Nc
Gregor carried the vote 20 to II,
and his name was presented to the
voters by the sicker route. The
complainant alleges that a large
portion Of the voters in the Green
River precinct are unable to read
or write English and that few of
them are able to converse in the
tongue of their adopted land. Mr..
Olson alleges that undue and un-
lawful influence was used by per-
sons at the booths in directing and
assisting the Green River voters
in the preparation Of their ballots.
Should the case now pending
come up for trial the prosecution
claims that proof is at hand to sub
stantiate its charges which is bound
to result in the throwning out of
the precinct in question. The de-
fense is equally positive that j. A.
McGregor holds his election on
merit. Just what result t h
throwing out Of the precinct would
have on the general election re-
turns in Billings county is hard to
determine but that some warm sur
prises may be in store for near
Office holders is assured. j. A.
McGregor secured his election by
the narrow margin of six votes.-

Most Of our readers have heard
more or less about the Marquis de
Mores, the Frenchman who founded
Medora and established the packing
plant there, which recently burned
down. The following is an inter-
esting item taken from the Dickin-
son Press of 25 years ago about
this noted Frenchman:- 'The
Maruis de Mores has a novel enter
prise under way. He plans to raise
$4,000 cabbages on his ranch at
Little Missouri and have them
ready for market April l. They will
be raised under glass in some
peculiar French manner and when
they have attained certain size,
they will be transplanted into
individual pots and forced rapidly
by rich fertilizers from the slaugh-
ter house" No doubt this cab
bage industry proved about as sue
cessful as his packing business
which was total failure.

FOUND IN DYING CON.
DI1IoN IN SHEEP WAGON

~HARLIE Kuether, sheep herd
4 er sixteen years of age, who
- was in the employ of Wake
fed Bros. on their ranch ,at Trot-
ters, was found in a dying condi-
tion in the sheep wagon about
three miles from the above mention
ed ranch on last Saturday evening
about four o'clock and before medi-
cial aid could be brought to his re-
lief he passed away.
Just how the young man met his
death is a mystery to all and per-
haps will remain so. Although the
supposition is that the deed was
accidentally done by his own hands
and with his own gun-a 80 caliber,
Colts special-which was found on
the floor close to the body.
The boy was first discovered by
Mr.. Wheeler who was also in
the employ of Wakefield Bro. and
upon entering the sheep wagon and
finding the boy almost lifeless, he
inquired as to the cause of the un-
fornate boys illness and the latter
replied that he had shot himself.
The young man feebly made known
that he wished drink of water.
After Mr.. Wheeler had served
him with a glass Of water. the
young man was too weak to further
talk, and Mr.. Wheeler hurried
away for assistance. When he
returned in company with others
the lad was dead.
Mr.. J. M. Wakefield with six Of
the neighbors and employees made
careful investigation of the nature
of the wounds, and everything
tending to throw any light on the
accident. It was found there were
two wounds, one in the chest and
the other in the left leg. The bullet
which penetrated the chest passed
very close to the heart. The ball
which entered the leg took a down.

when it apparently glanced out

APPROPRIATION FOR DICKIN.
SON EXPERIMENT STATION

HVO oECURE an appropriation
sufficient to make necessary
90 improvements and carry on
the work of the local experiment
station is the ambition of Senator
l.. A: Simpson and Representatives
Senour, Baker and Evans who leave
the first of the week to attend the
legislative session at Bismarck.
The gentlemen from Stark county
will in all probability, be support
ed in their request by the repre-
sentatives from every county in the
western Slope. The need of and
the advantages which will accrue
to the whole of the Slope section
by the erection of a seed house at
the station have been pointed out
during the past year. The station
has now under cultivation practi-
cally all of the acreage, 100 acres,
and the representatives may ask for
an appropriation sufficient to pur-
chase a second 100. State money
placed in an institution such as the
local experiment station can be
considered in no other light than
that of an investment. Every dol
lar expended in furthering the ex-
perimental work means the saving
of five dollars to the community.
The work being carried on is of
a practical nature and will go a
long way toward fastening the de-
velopement Of the agricultural land
in this section.
While the members of the Stark
county delegation have held no
meeting nor made any definite
plans for what amount will be re-
quested for the experiment station,
it is belived that an appropriation
for $4,000 is needed and this
amount will probably be named.
According to the law defining
the territory to be presented by
the state senator it is explicitly
stated that such territory shall be
contiguous. Senator AL Martin,
of Billings county finds his district
split in two by Dunn county which
was unorganzied at the time of the
last legislature. 1t is now proposed
that Bowman county be hitched to
Billings county with one senator
and that a second senator be chosen
from Mckenzie, Dunn, Mercer and
Oliver counties. Also representa-
tion will have to be provided for
Hettinger and Adams counties.
According to the statutes, Senator
Martin will be unable to represent
Mercer and Oliver counties but it
is believed that some compromise
will be made and representation
given to these counties and to
those in the southwestern part Of
the state. Dickinson Post.

WIRELESS 1ELEGRAPHY.

The saving Of the passengers on
the wrecked ocean steamer Republic
was a wonderful triumph for wireless
telegraphy.
Within few moments after that
vessel had been fatally rammed In
m1d-ocean, the wireless operator on
that vessel had flashed the message OF
the wreck and the imminent danger
OF the passengers to every wireless
station on land and to every vessel
afioat within a radius of three hun
dred miles. Within few moments
every vessel that received the mes
sage headed for the spot where Law
the wrecked and sinking ship, and at
the same time sent messages to the
Inflated vessel that I'VE are coming
to your rescue as fast as steam can
bring u.s."
Had not that vessel been eauipped
with wireless telegraphy it would
nave gone to the bottom with every
passenger on board. AS 1t was, ey-
cry passenger was taken off by the
ships that came to the rescue before
the sinking ship went down.
Surely we live in a most wondrous
age and the most daring magma
ton cannot foresee the still more
Wondrous achievements that lie prob
ably just ahead of us.
