N. D. POSTMASTER
WIRED FOR help
LEIPZIG MAN ASSAULTED IN OF.
FIcE SENDS STARTLING GRE
PORT" TO ST. PAUL.

st. Paul, Dec. SIN. e. Fosnes,
postoffice inspector in charge OF the
st. Paul district. got a telegram
little before noon today from POST
master Shattuck at Leipzig, N. D.,
which said:
Man nearly killed in my Office.
Help wanted"
Mr. Fosnes wired back to the oper-
ator at Leipzig:
Tell Postmaster Shattuck at Leip-
zig that he must appeal to the local
authorities to preserve the peace and
| deal with the disturbers thereof"
The postofice inspector said wnen
asked about the trouble that he knew
no more about it's nature than the
wire from the Leipzig postmaster in
dicated.
The explanation was obtained from
Leipzig by telephone.
The postmaster. it was said. was
called from mis- house last Saturday
night after he had gone to bed, and
taken into an alley between his house
and the postofice and beaten over the
head till he lost consciousness. A
man, who gave mis- name as Krause,
Was arrested To-Day Tor the assault.
Krause implicated another man known
as Shorty but the latter has disap-
peared.
No trouble had existed between
Postmaster Shattuck and Krause and
the third man, as far is known. and
the cause of the assault is mystery.
This morning the postmasters son
said that he did not know why his
father mad worded his telegram as ne
did, for it was simply intended to be
report of the matter. He sent it as
soon as he was able to leave his bed.
Leipzig is in Morton county, N. D.,
and has a population of only about
100. A mail stage runs daily from
the village to Glen Ullin, the county
seat of Morton county, thirty miles
distant.

DUMB animal WAS
BRUTALLY ABUSED
CARL DENs5URY ACCUSED OF
MANNING AND ToRTURTNG A
HORSE BELONGING TO
SPiESMAN.

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 81. - On
complaint OF Mrs. S. L. wineman of the
society for the prevention Of cruelty
to animals, Justice Orr issued a war
rant yesterday for the arrest OF Carl
Densbury, a young man about 10 years
of age, who has beer. employed on the
farm Of John spokesman in Lake town
ship.
Complainant alleges that on Dec. q
on the farm of John spokesman in Lake
township Ramsey county, N. D., de-
PENDANT did willfully, wrongfully, I'M
lawfully and maliciously main and tor
ture horse by opening it's mouth and
tearing its tongue loose, this contrary
to the statutes for and in such cases
made and provided"
The horse belongs to Mr.. Spiesman.
1t is in a serious condition, can neither
eat nor drink, suffers terribly and will
probably have to be killed. It's
tongue was not torn entirely out but
it was badly lacerated and many OF
the ligaments entirely detached.
When Sheriff Belford received the
warrant he got busy Immediately and
soon found that Densbury had hired a
livery team to take him to Sweetwater
Deputy Sheriff Frye started in pursuit
and wired the sheriff at noon today
that he had captured the fugitive, and
would return with him on the evening
train.
Densbury is up against a serious
proposition. The offense is a misde-
meanor and is punishable by not to ex-
coed a year in the county Jail and fine
OF $500 or both

develop more power than any of the
eastern bituminous Goals burned on the
CRATE. To develop one horse power per
hour by the steam engine requires 4.46
pounds of Virginia anthracite and 3.97
pounds of Ohio bituminous, while one
horse power per hour can be obtained
from only 2.29 pounds of North Dakota
Ignite, when burned in the gas pro-
Queer. Assuming Ohio bituminous in
North Dakota at SIS per ton and Ignite
at SO per ton saving of II per cent
would be affected by using Ignite in
a gas producer plant, over the use of
Ohio bituminous in an ordinary steam
engine. However the proposition that
will very likely be the most practical
for the future use Of our Ignite is the
burning of this coal at the mines in the
gas producer and transmitting the
power electrically to all parts OF the
state, furnishing power to light our
cities, for our manufacturers and for
electric lines constructed for the bene-
fit of the people.

argued before the supreme court of
the United tSates in Washington on

Herman Ridder, president Of the Amer

Herman Ridder, president Of the Amer
ican Newspaper Publishers Association,
has written letter to President Taft, in
forming him that he made a serious mis-
take during the closing days Of the recent
session of Congress, when he changed his
attitude on the print paper schedule. The
Mann committee after ten months Of hard
work, reported that a tariff Of $2oo a ton
on print paper, would cover the difference
between the cost of production at home
and abroad, and the House Of Representa-
tives approved this rate. Yet the rate was
fixed at S3.75 a ton and as a result, the
province Of Quebec has decided to prohib-
it the expectation of its wood pulp. AS a
consequence, many American mills must
close or move to Canada to obtain supplies
Of raw material Mr.. Ridder believes that
the country is now in fair way for, a trade
war with Canada amounting to $4,000. 90
annually. Mr. Ridder informed Mr.. Taft
that the publishers fully realize the diff
culties of his exalted office, yet sincerely
trusts that he can find some way to rectltY
the mistake into which he was led.
The Independent hopes that North Da-
kota's next two United States Senators,
whoever they may be, will be able to agree
upon the things which mean so much for
the welfare of our state. This is import
ant and the voters cannot afford to over
look it.

Policeman Saw Him.
As soon as the fact became known
at post headquarters that the soldier
convict had escaped. the alarm was
spread far and wide. The police sta
ton and the sheriff's Office was both
notified. About 3 o'clock, when Lieut..
Mix and a squad were at the station,
and as a squad of soldiers stood in the
square, with side arms in plain view,
Mounted officer Jones, who had been
told of the soldiers escape, telephOned
the station that the soldier had been
seen near q swamp at PatteTsOn's sta
ton The sheTiff's office heard of that
rumOr and several blOOdhOunds were
taken to the scene. The sheriff him
self was at Roberts, Fla, for the day,
and the dogs were in charge of Deputy
Johnson. Arriving on the scene, the
swamp was thought to have been safe
" surrounded. but after a short search
the fact developed that the escaped
convict had been seen to cross the
county bridge at Bayou Chico and was
going in a HorthwesteTly direction. At
that time he wore leggings, blue
trousers, a blue flannel shirt but the
parties differed as to whether or not
he wore a hat. He was walking fast
when seen.
From the post came the information
that 4 reward of $50 would be paid for
hi arrest. and the additional infOTma-
ton leaked out that Gallup carried a
revolver Being a desperate man, it
was thought that he would not hesitate
to make use of the gun in an emer-
gency.
As the police watch went on duty at
o'clock yesterday afternoon and also
the watch which went on duty at mid
night, the mans description was read
to the men in ranks. He is about 80
yeaTs old, has blue eyes, brown hair,
and a small scar is prominent, near
bis mouth.
