Another accident occurred last night

car at the end of the line. A horse
driven by Mrs Sergeant Smith, 525

senger train pulling into the station
and bolted forward. The animal had
it's head high in the air and ran Mr..
Frank down before he could get out
of the way. He came in contact with
the pavement with a tnufip that
could be heard for several feet and for
a time it was thought he was killed.
Both wheels of the rig passed over
him. Pedestrians carried him to his

N OF a.
FIGHT

The mail consignment for sPasco and
Sound cities went out on the Northern
Pacific train this morning as per sched-
ule, the misunderstanding by which
Yesterdays mail was delayed having
been investigated, J. G. Cutler, OF the
local Northern Pacific offices, said the
affair yesterday was not the result Of
hostilities between the railroad men
and the driver who delivers the mail,
but that it simply resulted through the
failure of George Casey to place the
sacks in the car as had been his Gus
tom. The train men depended upon
Mr.. Casey yesterday, and Mr.. Casey,
having been unusually busy at train
time. depended on the Northern Pa
cific employees to do that work
r. H. Coston. railway mali clerk on
the night train, in explaining the cir
cumstances. said it was not the duty
of mail clerks to leave their car to put
the sacks aboard. That duty falls to
the lot of employees of the company.
and the fine imposed for non -compli-
ance is 81. MIR. Coston said the aelay
of Yesterdays mail was due wholly to
misunderstanding as Mr.. Casey had
previously done that work in exchange
for courtesies extended him by the
train hands.
Those interested express regret that
yesterdays mail should have been de-
layed. but in view of the fact that II
was produced by misunderstanding,
rather than through hostilities. the
incident is not as serious as at first
supposed.

POLITICS SOMEWHAT MIXED
IN NORTH DAKOTA SAYS
D. E. MORDEN.
Predicts the Fight for Senatorship
Between McCumber and Mar
shall the Strongest in the His
tory OF the State.

ID. E. Nort!en sns returned
home after making very sue
cessful trip over the entire
state and reports business i'm
general i'll a prosperous condi-
ton. Politics are somewhat
mixed up so it is hard to pre-
dict on results. While Senator
McCum oer does not appear to
have lost but few, if any of
his former friends yet Tom
Marshall appears to be much
stronger man than ever before.
So Mr.. Morden predicts one Of
the hardest fought battles for
Senator ever having a e II
place in the state with honors
about equal. The chances for
Governor Burke to succeed
himself appears to be a fore
gone conclusion and while the
Governor has not expressed
himself a candidate for another
term yet it is the general. be-
lief that if he is the unanimous
choice of his party as he no
doubt will be compelled to &C
cept the honor for a third term
as did Governor johnson of
Minnesota. Every Democrat
with whom he has spoken
were unanimous in saying we
must have Burke one more
term, while the Republicans
would remark Burke has made
a good Governor but | do not
think he would accept it again
do you: He does not think it
is known who will be Burke's
opponent, as he has heard some
OF the most prominent Republi-
cans of the State say that they
would not oppose Governor
Burke under any circumstan-
ces go it is often expressed that
any honor anyone can have in
opposing Burke will be the
nomination. Now this is as
far as he will predict at present
but you can put this in your
hat and see how far he is off
after the ball is over.

it's own problems. When COM

Abundant argument can be
advanced for such a place but
this paper is already too long.
1t has succeeded in many
places. Try it. The cost you
say is too great. DO you know
that our boys are spending
enough money every year at
pool alone, even in the SIN all
towns, to equip the best kind
of a gymnasium, no matter
what the cost? If all will get
together there is nothing to
hinder. We are separate forces
We are existing for a common
purpose. We are striving for a
common end, but we are facing
in opposite directions. Let US
forget our differences, let us

Wahpeton lawyer and state
senator, for one of the Rich
land county districts, has form
ally SHE'D his castor into the
ring as a democratic candidate
for Z. 5. Senator in the coming
primaries. Mr.. Puccell's candi.
dacy will no doubt add to the
interest of the struggle, for he
is a give-and-take fighter,
brilliant speaker, with much of
that quality termed magtism,
and he will be pretty sure to
poll the entire democratic vote.
He is candidate for the long
term.-Forman News.
Senator Purcell has notified
a few of his friends, that he
would be candidate for the
Z. S. Senate. The Senator is
a progressive democrat and be-
lieves in eradicating, Aldrich-
ism and Cannonism from our
National politics and there is
no man in the state of any par
ty that could or would WELD a
greater influence to that end
than he.
