HARTLEY IMPROVING
AFTER Being SHOT

Bismarck, Nov 17.-Hartley, the man
who was mistaken for a deer and shot
twice while in the woods Saturday, is
improving and will recover.
His physician, DR.. Ramstad, says he
is getting along nicely. although he had
an exceedingly narrow escape. Had
the bullet penetrated an inch deeper he
would have had doubtful chance OF
recovery.
The shooting of Hartley calls atten-
ton again to the danger Of hunting in
the woods, and Of indise Intimate shoot
ing. Bismarck people remember ten or
twelve years ago. when Claude Holley
well known resident of this city, was
shot and almost instantly killed while
hunting. Dozens of hunters are In the
woods every day, while high power
rifles and buck fever is liable to lead
them to shoot at anything that moves
suddenly or resembles a deer.

Grafton, N. d., Nov. 1.-THE bill
Of complaint filed by Mrs. K j. John
son in an action for divorce from her
husband. from whom Dorothy Cole
man, arrested In Minneapolis recently
was charged with stealing $40, is a
sensational document. According to

College in Fine Shape.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 17.-President
B. H. Kroeze of the jamestown college,
was In the city yesterday consulting
with Senator George A. WEIGH and
meeting local people in the interest of
the new institution.
The jamestown college has been in
existence for a number Of years, but
was for some years closed, and only
within a short time has it been re-
opened and begun its educational work
again.
Mr.. Kroeze is from Tacoma, and
thinks there is a great field for the
jamestown institution He is a young,
energetic, liberal and scholarly man,
and promises to make 1. splendid head
for the college. A recent donation to
the college gives 1t 107 acres of ground
for campus. The heating plant has
been overhauled and is in splendid con-
dition, and the citizens of Jamestown
have subscribed literally toward re-
fitting the building.
Endowments are. now in sight that
will give the college new building
and it's prospects are good. A large
number of students have entered for
the years work and Mr.. Kroeze is much
encouraged at the prospect for good
work and success.

STATE TUITION
FUND GROWING
GREAT INCREASE IS NOTED FOR
THE PAST YEAR OVER YEAR
or 1903.

Bismarck. N. D. Nov. 1.-THE state
tuition fnud, fro mwhicn apportion-
ments are made every three months
to the school districts OF the state,
Is growing by leaps and bounds. The
total amount appropriated for 1909,
which was completed with the No
yember apportionment made yester-
day, is s755,0O0, or a per capita appor-
tionment of $5.27. This is against a
total apportionment for 1909 OF $685.
600, and a per capita for last year OF
$4.O1. The increase during the past
year is $3.50, 900.
State Superintendent StockwelI yes
terday announced the November APP
portionment as follows:
Amount opportioned, $95,17S.1S.
Number Of children, 14S,717.
Per capita apportionment, 81 cents.
The state tuition fund is derived
from the interest and income Of the
permanent school fund from fines,
penalties and forfeitures that go to
the school fund. with the sale OF
state lands and the investment of tne
proseeds in interest bearing securities.
the tuition fund is constantly increas-
ing. A school with one hundred chill
dren this year gets 1927 from the
state tuition fund, a considerable
sum towards the expenses of mainte-
nance.

DON'T LET BURKE OUT
Governor Now Busy Explaining, But
This Does Not Relieve
The Strain.

jamestown Capital: Governor Burke
explains and says his sole object in
appointing a U. S. senator was for the
people Of the state. We must concede
his honesty of intent, for he says so,
but that will not relieve him from the
general and state wide criticism. The
best that has been said of Mr. Thomp-
son is that he Is a good man, a nice
man and an old friend OF the COVER
nor
The principal feature of the govern
or's appointment is that the executive,
willy nilly, has played into the hands
OF those whom he has most strenuous
ly denounced. To suit their interests
he could not have made better APP
pointment. Above all things they
would be satisfied IL by any means
they could defeat the appointment OF
Tom Marshall or any other independ-
ent, virile candidate who had the in
terests of the whole state at heart,
paramount to all else.
1t would seem that everything points
to the fact that the appointment was a
purely personal matter with the gov
ehrnor and that he did not act wisely,
in behalf Of the best interests of the
whole state. He did not even work
for the best interests of his own party
for Cashel, Purcell, Duis, anyone of a
dozen well known democrats, could
have been honored and would have
been in position to have returned
some moity of good to the minority
party in the state and to have
strengthened the exceedingly thin
ranks.
1t is with much disappointment that
his friends in and out Of his party
admit that he was weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting.

COUNTY DIVISION
SCRAP The CAUSE
lLL-FEELlNe SAID TO BE REASON
OF BRIBERY CHARGES
AGAINST ATTY.
MURPHY.

NTinot, N. D., Nov. It'll feeling
which grew out OF the county division
fight and the long line Of pig cases
which have come from Kenmare is
given as the basis OF charge OF
bribery which IL Is rumored will be
brought against Francis ]. Murphy,
formerly assistant states attorney OF
Ward county.
The first Inclination Of the move re-
ceiyed in Minot came from an article
in The Bismarck Tribune.
A number OF prominent citizens Of
Kenmare were interviewed in an ef-
fort to ascertain the facts and II was
discovered that affidavits charging
brigery had been sent tot he attorney
general by Justice Rowland, who has
secured power of attorney from the
compliments and that complaints al
leging the facts were drawn up ready
for serving.
According to the Kenmare report It
is alleged that Murphy, while serving
in the states attorneys office made
overtures to the defendants in two
plugging casts stating that II they
paid him a certain sum Of money he
would resign and the cases would De
dropped, as he was the man who had
the facts. According to the affldavits
which were drawn up it was alleged
that the money was sent him before
he left the office.
Attorney Murphy's friends in Minot
alleged that the suit grows out of po-
lfLical ill-feeling and has no basis Of
truth, as 1t is claimed that Murphy did
not resign, but was discharged by
States Attorney MCGEE.
The Kenmare people claim that the
case will go direct to the attorney gem
eral. as the feeling in Ward county Is
too tense to admit of any actions be-
ing brought here.
In an interview yesterday afternoon
@. s. Wooledge, the law partner of
Francis j. Murphy, said: I'VE do not
take the accusations made by the men
who are behind the movement at all
seriously. Their character in Ken
mare is not OF the best and any state
ments made by them will not carey
water when confronted with the facts
in the case which we are ready TO
show. You can state from me that
there is absolutely no truth in the
statements that Mr.. Murphy ever ac-
cepted money from any of the COM
planners or that he had any CONVERSE
ton with them regarding it. The
trouble emanates from personal and
political enemies Of Mr.. Murphy's and
is simply an attempt to injure us. 1
do not believe that they will ever push
the matter, as they have no facts upon
which to base their complaints"
