Since the Democratic newspaper
essays to chastise members of Its
party for the manner in which they
are knitting the regular nominee Of
its party for mayor, 1t might Oe Der-
tinent for 1t to inquire where Fred
shinn, candidate for city clerk.
stands.
AS the Telegram remembers. Mr.
shinn was one of the few men who
gathered In a star-chamber meeting
and foisted the Citizens League
ticket on the city, and especially
foisted part Of 1T on the Democrat.
ic party, and he was one of the
star-chamber-made nominees before
he offered himself for the Demo-
cratic nomination.
As Democrat he must answer 10
his party for the attitude he takes
in this campaign. Certainly. he can
not expect Democratic support, il he
lis enlisted in a movement TO knife
regular nominees OF the party and
to break up the party organization.
In the Office of city clerk he might
continue efforts that would prove
disastrous to Democracy. Like 9TH
ers recently elevated to public Office
by the Democrats, II he is in hearty
sympathy with the revolt against
the Democratic organization by
members Of that party he would GER
tainly not do any thing to promote
the welfare Of the party. On the 9TH
er7hand, me would be found arrayed
against the party in such times as
these, when defeat stares the party
in the face.
Regular Democrats are awakening
to the fact that they have the right
to know where he stands before they
are in position to give him support.

FIRE FIGHTERS SORE
Wahpeton Fire Department and City
Officials at Odds Over Chiefs
Appointment.

wahpeton Globe Gazette: At a
mass meeting of the fire department
last evening a vigorous protest was
made against the action of Mayor
Eberley and the city council in ap-
pointing a man as fire chief contrary
to the recommendation of the depart
ment.
It has been the custom in Wahpe-
ton ever since the fire department was
organized for the department to elect
it's own chief, that is, the department
has recommended man to be ap-
pointed by the mayor and this ap-
pointment has always been made.
There are three companies IN the de-
partment and the plan has peen 10
pass the office around from one com
paAy to another This year II was the
Reliance Hose company's turn 70 rec
ommend a man and at a recent meet
ing they elected Rob McMicheal
Ii appears that at the meeting OF
the city council Monday evening no
written recommendation had been re-
ceived from the department and the
rnayor appointed Anton Giles. which
appointment was confirmed by the
council
According to members OF the coun-
ell, that body has been contemplating
improving the equipment OF the de-
partment and changing the method OF
selection of the fire chief, but 1t seems
that the department had not been con-
suited in this matter.
This appointment, contrary to the
department recommendation has very
naturally caused indignation and q
mass meeting was called together last
evening by Asst. Chief John Powrie
The matter was discussed very thor
oughly and at the close of the meet
ing a committee consisting Of Math
Braun, Donald Wright and Chas. Mix
kelson were appointed to present q
protest to the council tonight.
A large number of the firemer
threaten to resign IL the mayor does
not confirm the appointment made by
the department.

"DURGLED" FOR BOOZE
Man Well Known in Lidssrwood
Caught in Act Ct Robbins Store
in That Town.

Lidgerwood Broadaze: On Sunday
night, or rather Monday morning,
while officer Reynolds was making
his trips around the city, he heard q
noise in the rear of the Lidgerwood
National bank that indicated to him
that there was something wrong on
and attempted an investigation, but
could not see any person. He heard
the noise in the building, but could
not locate it. ... .a.- ..
He then called Thomas Bisek, chief
of police, and after few minutes he
called B. ]. Parriott, deputy sheriff.
Just as he was doing this the burglar,
for it was one lonesome solitary burg
lar, came out Of the building and was
placed under arrest by Reynolds. This
was hardly done before Bisek and
Parriott were there. r..
He had gone to the rear of the room
formerly used as barber shop and
with his pocket knife, cut out part of
the panel of the door, reached his
hand through the hole and turned the
kew which was left on the lock in
side. He then passed through that
room and into and through the drug
store and into the warehouse in the
rear, where he took several bottles of
brandy and was just making his es-
caps when he ran against Officer
Reynolds.
He was taken to the city Jail and
lodged for the night. 1t proved to be
Peter Chapman, who had been in the
city for several months working at
different jobs and was quite sur

Mother "BUTTED IN
Daughter Given Fine Home by Hus-
band Who Took Her From
Dangerous Surroundings.

Williston Herald: The course Of true
love never runs smooth and the matri-
monial career of Peter Kelter and his
young bride, residents of Williams
county, has been rather turbulent.
Peter viii face the charge of perjury,
in district court, for having sworn
that his bride was 10 years of age,
when the mother declares that the girl
is but litsle past II, or at least was
when Peter took her to love, cherish
and see that she obeyed, an Nov. g.
last. The knot was tied good and tight
in Minot, by Judge VIM. Murray.
Peters case came up before Judge
Davis in county court Tuesday and
after hearing the evidence, the judge
decided to bind the defendant over to
district court.
The trial seems to have been the re-
suit of too much mother in law and
Peter would have had much smoother
sailing had he made terms with the
girls mother before the marriage took
place. The case is really a pitiful one
and those who heard the evidence
sympathize with the defendant, who
will more than likely be acquitted by
the jury when the case comes to trial,
The girl wife on the stand testified
that she thought that she was past
10 years of age, as her father
who is a victim of paralysis, and her
brothers, had told her that this was
her age. Peter took her word for It,
and swore when getting the license
that she was past the age Of con-
sent. The girl says that when she
was but Is or 16 years of age, her
mother allowed her to work in a house
of ill-fame at williston, where she re-
ceived IS a week and this money went
to help support the needy family. II
would seem that her husband in mar
rying her, took her away from the dan
gerous surroundings, took her to his
800 acre farm twelve miles from VIII
liston where he gave her a good home
and plenty Of money. She testified that
she was happy with him, and that he
treated her we'll. She says that hel
mother visited her several times since
her marriage, and coaxed her to leave
her husband and TO keep peace in the
family she told her mother that she
would do so.
