MORTON CO. COURT
Hears MURDER Case
r. N. STEVENS OF THIS CITY is
DEFENDING SCHMIDT AND
SCHMAlZ.
Alleged Crime Grew Out OF Row over
Load Of Coal - Self Defense Will
Probably Be Plea.

States Attorney r. N. Stevens is in
Mandan this week where he has
charge of the defense in the murder
trial in which Schmitz and Schmaltz,
two Morton county farmers, are charg-
ed with the murder or Ray Urlck, an
other Morton county farmer.
The alleged crime grew out OF a
row over q load of coal. Schmitz and
schmaltz had bought some coal from
Urick and were to mine and haul 1t
themselves. Urick accused them or
taking more coal then they were en-
titled to under the contract and a
fight ensued in which it Is said Ur1ck
struck Schmaltz over the head with
pick handle and knocked hi muncon-
scious. 1t is stated that soon after
that Schmaltz secured a shot gun and
shot and fatally wounded Urick. and
Schmidt was held as an accomplish.
The preliminaries Of the trial were
held yesterday and the securing of
jury will probably occupy couple OF
davs before the taking Of testimony
will begin.

Gen. Weston saw considerable hard

Another dangerous incident in his
career was when he was serving I'M

1868. While still a cavalry officer. he
was graduated from the artillery
school in 1875 Shortly after he was
appointed a captain in the Subsistence
department. Thereupon he studied
for three years the elementary and
advanced subjects pertaining to that
line of the work, one year of which
time he spent at the Massachusetts
institute of technology, while assigned
to duty in Boston. At that place he
pursued the course of chemistry.
Afterwards dealers who tried to
work off adulterated products on the
army discovered that they had to do
with man who was something of
chemist. He became major in 1892,

Mcmahon.

Billy Sherrard, who is in the city
working out with some of the local
lights in the wrestling world for a 60
with the Turk at Steel Friday night
is out after Mcmahon Of Mandan and
told Tribune reporter that he is will
ing to take on the Mandan man and
will let Mcmahon make the terms.
Sherrard is also willing to take on
anyone of his height, or from 1875 to

their money. Mcmahon will weigh in
at about $40 and it is him Sherrard
would like to meet.
Sherrard is we'll known here, having
lived and wrestled here before, and
has always drawn good houses, and
it looks like chance for the Mandan
wrestler to pick up little money
even if he gets only the tight end OF
the purse. Sherrard will be in the CITY
until Friday and is anxiously await

GEN. WESTON PLACED
ON THE Retired LIST
HERO OF MANY BATTLES WAS
WELL KNOWN IN BISMARCK
AND VICINITY.
Served Under Custer and Was Decor
ated for Bravery - Was Lieutenant
at Sixteen Years Of Age.

Next Saturday the active list of the
army will lose one of the best known
and most popular officers in the SER
vice, when Major General John F..
Weston will retire for age. He is
popular with officers and men, and is
noted for his genial good nature and
keen wit. Gen. Weston's career has
teen an interesting one. FROM first
lieutenant in volunteer regiment, to
a major generally in the regular army
is an enviable record.
When he was appointed a first lieu
tenant in tho Fourth Kentucky Vol
unteer Cavalry on November rs, 1861,
he was only a little over sixteen years
old, and was a captain at seventeen,
and a major at nineteen.
Shortly after he reached the latter
rank he performed feat for which
he was later given a medal of honor.
After the capture of Montgomery,
Ala, with a battalion Of his regiment,
be was detached with orders to de-
stroy fleet of steamboats, laden with
supplies for the Confederate soldiers.
He was informed that they would be
found in great bend of the Alabama
river ten or twelve miles above the
city. and TO- that place Gen. Weston
went to look for them with his cav
alrymen. On making his way through
the woods to the bend he discovered
that the steamers were tied up to the
further bank OF the river and apoarent
ly inaccessible. That fact did not
stop him. He made his wav through
the brush, back from the shore to a
point something like half mile
above. Accompanied by company of

Delegation From WiIliston and West

Boosting for 5ruesser - Senator
Duis Of Grand Forks is Again In
the City.

All bets on the senatorship seem
to be off again. After it was con.
fidently reported that the first Of the
week would see the senator named by
the governor, two days have passed
and nothing has appeared but senator
ial possibilities and their friends, who
are swarming back again to. bring
haromny and peace to the struggling
candidates and the perturbed party
leaders.
A number of democrats drifted back
into the city yesterday to take a
hand in the senatorial difficulty. While
it was confidently stated that no such
thing as meeting of the central
committee of the democratic party
was contemplated for the selection of
a candidate, yet a number of mem
bers of the state committee were on
the ground.
j. B. Eaton Of Fargo, was one of
the democrats who dropped in to sup
port the claims of Col. M. A. Hildreth
Of Fargo. A delegation from Cando
was down to advance the claims of a
new candidate, L. H. Thompson of
Cando, a we'll to do farmer and bust
ness man, and an old friend of the
governor J. V. Brooke, one Of the
sages Of the democratic party for
many years, Alex Currie and Tom
Conyers. were the Cando delegation.
Ben Whitehead of Williston, a
member of the state committee, and
the Horace Greedy of the democrats

THOROUGHLY AROUSED.

1t is very natural that the business
men, especially those on Main street
who were damaged by the great
storm of last summer, should be
thoroughly aroused about the matter
of surface drainage. 1t will be pref
ty difficult to estimate the damage
done by water to stocks of goods in
Easements by that storm and it is ma
tural and perhaps proper that some
redress should be sought from the
city Of course it was an unusual
storm-there may never be another
one like it-but the lessons it has
taught should not be forgotten. It
should be remembered-and is by all
old timers-that years ago all the
north and south streets drained I'M
obstructedly to the bottom lands
south of the city. Gradually each
year the Northern Pacific raised its
grade through the city until now the
track is far above Main street and as
no provision was made for drains be-
meath the track at each street the ma
tural consequence is an invincible
dam the whole length of the city,
forcing all water bent on following
the natural grades to accumulate on
Main street and Broadway and the
intersecting streets running north
and south between Mandan avenue
and Ninth or Tenth street. Had
there been culverts or drains beneath
the Northern Pacific tracks on the
various streets there would have been
little damage from the storm of last
summer, extraordinary as it was in
severity. 1t was an oversight on the
part of our city authorities as we'll
as the n. P. officials that the railroad
tracks were allowed to be raised
without providing proper culverts to
carry off the surface waters at each
street. The sooner something is done
to remedy the condition the better
it will be to all parties In interest.
The clamor of those damaged by the
food waters of last summer to OBJ
tain redress from the city may has
ten the solution of the whole drain

Mr.. Hadley is authority for the
statement that thess potatoes grew

sound but not as smooth as some of
the smaller ones, although they did
not have the appearance of several
potatoes grown into one-each 20

these two potatoes contain food for
