ator Hansbrough of North Dakota,

thority of the senate has been UNI
ored for some time, is to be made an

the subject of much contention in
senate circle, and the place Of ex-
pert under the committee on expen-
ditures has been reserved for him.

Many Fatally
Injured

Westhope, N. D., July PA pos
sibly fatal accident happened here
this evening when the city marshal
attempted to shoot dog. A num-
Der Of persons gathered TO-. see the
excitement. - After firing several
shots at the dog with his gun, 81
automatic pistol, apparently without
result, the marshal handed the weap-
on to one Of the bystanders, Frank
Zeran, and asked him to try shot
Zeran dred one or two shots, when
the pistol missed hrs, and, believing
it to be empty, he handed 1t back to
the marshal. The latter took it and
started to examine it, when It ex-
ploded and the bullet, after passing
through the sleeve Of another, struck
Zeran in the arm, and after breaking
the wrist, passed through and. into
his leg, where it cut the large artery
dropped onto the sidewalk. He was
Immediately taken to the ONCE OF Dr.
Durnin and. later to the hospital,
where the doctors worked over him
all night in an effort to stop the dow
Of blood. He is still alive and the
doctors believe that he will recover,
though possibly with the loss Of his
lee. The wounded man is we'll known
and popular and the community IL
shocked over the accident. n:

AND McCUMBER

Some politics is brewing in North
Dakota at the present time. and It
looks as tho there will be a great
fight on for the senate next year. Nc
Cmnbers term expires in little
more than a year, and It is certain
that he will be candidate for re-
election. McCumber will have q
hard fight on his hands, tho he has
been doing considerable to make his
road smooth. He has been instru-
mental in getting several bills pass
ed which are favorable to the farm
ing element, his main constituency,
but there are many who DO not
like his attitude on the tariff bill, and
will lose no chance to pay him for Il.
Senator Johnson will no doubt lend
McCumber all the support he can.
McCumber's opponent will no doubt be
former Congressman Marshall, who
has not yet definitely decided to be a
candidate, but his friends are urging
MIN TO make Luc Iuu. Au0y soy LAeS1
Marshall has lost none of his many
friends, and that he has more
strength than ever. Marshall is con-
sidered a sort of an insurgent, quite
a popular thing to be at present writ
ing.
Gronna, who has turned out to be
a good insurgent, is one of the strong
est men politically in the state to-
day. His friends say that he could
be elected governor without any
trouble, but this is not what Mr..
Gronna wants He is not a friend OF
M. N. Johnson politically, and it is
believed that he will be satisfied to
20 back to Congress and wait until
Johnson comes up for reelection, some
years hence, when he will get out
and endeavor to give him trimming.
Gronna has made a good record in
Congress. While there are many
more brilliant orators in that body,
Mr.. Gronna possesses large amount
of hard sense, and good judgment.

A negro woman paced the streets
this morning with a red hot commu-
nication which she desired to present
to the editor of the Independent with
her compliments. 1t was an answer
to an article that we published re-
Gently concerning the sassy negro
women in Minot. We don't want to
get into any controversy with any
Of our black friends, but suppose that
about the only way to pacify the COL
ored lady is to publish the article.
We understand that she has called
Us some very uncomplimentary
names and really would be interest
ed In knowing her side of the case.
