room and jumped from the window
to the ground, but in doing so he
broke one of his legs. Later he
was taken to the Miners hospital,
where the surgeons attended to his
injuries.
Mrs. Harrington oldest boy was
compelled to jump from one of the
second story windows, but he es-
capped without injury.
Mrs. Harrington bought the
property which was destroyed
about year ago from A. ]. Vie,
paying therefor $4,000, and of this
all but the last payment had been
made. The money for the final
payment, about $500, she had got
ten together and had it in her
rooms, but it was destroyed along
with the rest of her possessions.
Ten or twelve miners occupied
rooms in the house and they lost
all of their possessions, and as
these had considerable value the

dollars. One of the miners, Dennis

One of the most serious fires
In recent months occurred yester-
day morning about 9:45, when the
two-story frame building, known as
the Belmont house and located at
the northwest corner of Oddie ave-
nue. and Summit street, was con-
sumed and all of it's contents de-
stroyed.
The story of the origin of the
fire, as told by Mrs. Mary Harring-
ton, who ran the place as board
ing and lodging house, is that in
the early morning her daughter, a
young girl of thirteen or fourteen,
was fumigating one of the rooms
with gasoline and sulphur, and in
lighting the latter the gasoline be-
came ignited In an instant the
entire room, was ablaze. Miracu-
lousy, almost, the girl made her
escape from the room and gave the
alarm--then tainted, but before
any attempt could be made to
quench the flames the whole house,
seemingly, was afire.
A general alarm was then given
and the fire department responded
quickly, but it was evident to the
firemen from the start that nothing
could save the premises, so all eff.
forts were directed towards keep
ing it from spreading to adjoining
houses, which was done after g
hard battle
At the tine of the confiagratioI
there were several dodgers asleep il
the house, miners who had been a
work on the graveyard" shift, ant
it was with difficulty they escap
ed One of them, John Mullin
who is employed on the West End
slept in the upper story, and whel
he essayed to make his way from
the house by the stairway he foun,
his way blocked by the flames. H

there was neither glaciers nor frost,

been set up instead of the dredge

this district produced $656,560 in

Story Of Gibson's
Attempt to Shoot Him

George Gibson, charged with an
assault to murder, in having drawn
a gun on Deputy Sheriff Callahan of
Goldfield and attempting to shoot
him, was hauled into court at Cold
field Wednesday to be given a
preliminary examinatin, but be-
cause of his not having secured an
attorney the case went over for a
day. His bonds were placed at
$4,000, but these he was unable to
give, therefore was remanded to
jail.
the latter had a close call and had
it not been for the latter's quick
ness, it is likely that Gibson would
have added another killing to his
string.
In an interview with one of the
Goldfield papers, Callahan gives the
following account of the episode:
II first went to Gibson's house
to find him, but he was not
there" said Callahan. Then
came up town and looked around
and finally located him in the Elite
saloon with companion. Both Of

Have Very Little Weight

little weight from the fact that neither

combative campaign of any kind,
Senator McCumber after being sick
almost unto death at Washington, was
only removed to his home at his most
urgent request that he desired to cele.
brate his wedding anniversary with
his wife and family. The return to
his old homestead in Richland county
was a most fatiguing one and nearly
cost him his life. 1t was a foolish
thing for his friends to permit him
being removed from the hospital in

is dear to one, grows powerful in the

acter of citizenship in Mclean county.
In this county, essentially an agricul-
tural community, the sturdy honesty
of the people is illustrated in courts
of justice. A jury of farmers in Nc
Lean county, especially when presided
over by a severe and upright Judge,
may be expected to administer JUS
tice according to the evidence. The
evidence in the blind pig case men,
toned by the Tribune, in which a
change of venue was taken to this
county, was overwhelmingly against
the defendant and there val no eva
sion on the part of the jury and no
attempt at %palliation on the part Of
Judge Kneeshaw who sat in the case.
1t is because of the sterling qualities
of the honorable gentleman from
Pembina that he is prominently men,
toned for the supreme bench. The
Tribune article in question is quoted
in full beneath: ...
In the blind pigger case of White,
change of .venue asked for and OBJ
tanned to Mclean county, from Bur-
leigh, there was little trouble in the
trial and the securing of a verdict ac.
cording to the evidence. Thus is the
force of the Tribune's position in
favor OF a change of in some
of these blind pig cases from Bur.
leigh confirmed. But it is evident
that the piggers are as much divided
into factions and classes as are the
%'epublican and democratic politicians.
When a pigger is touched" who has
a pull a little out of the ordinary,
either in the renting of premises or
the control of voters, he is in a class
by himself and-"protected." If the
Higgins case had been sent to Nc
Lean county, away from and indie
pendent of local pulls and prejudices
and with Judge Nneeshaw on the
bench, infallibie and exact justice
may have been expected and with
less expense, by many hundreds of
dollars, than can possibly, in the light
of experience in the past, be expect
ed in the future. And it is in the
expense that the taxpayers are quite
a bit interested. Our courts are ex-
pensive. Why? Because they are
hindered, one reason or another, from
dealing out speedy justice-some-
times because of the corruption OF the
machinery, sometimes from
the spineless indifference of the court
and sometimes, and not infrequently,
because of the absolute duplicity and
cowardness Of the people themselves
those who are to give evidence and
sit on juries.

Ryder News: The faithful and ell
ficient work of Congressman Hanna
and Senator McCumber in securing
the opening Of the Berthold reserva-

this section of the state. We have no

and they will get a sound vote in this
part of the state; but let US make a
record for ourselves by giving them
every vote at least in Ryder and Plaza.
It would be something to be proud OF
if we could do this. 1t would show
and advertise to the state that Plaza
and Ryder had men who stood solid
and to a man. Nothing would make
our town better known and talked
of, if we could show u appreciation
by casting a united vote. No member

done by getting the reservation bill
through. Let us show u apprecia-
tion.

Tolna Tribune: Congressman Han
ma, says, and we believe him, that he
has tried hard to care for the inter-
ests of the people of this state during
the year he has been in congress. His
long residence in the state has given
him a knowledge of the needs of the
people and he has the ability that gets
results. At the present time he is a
member of the agricultural committee
which gives him a chance to do much
for North Dakota. 1t would be a sad
mistake not to re-elect him but it
seems that the sentiment is strong
that he should be reelected.
Barlow Enterprise: North Dakota
farmers will endorse Senator McCum-
Der and Congressman Hanna. Both
are good men and loyal to the inter-
ests of the state. Both are republi-
cans, who stand by and support the
national administration. Both are
men of standing in the national con-
gress. Both believe in the perpetual

which this country has prospered

Page Record: Notwithstanding the
fact that some of the newspapers in
the state are waging wal against Con-
gresham Hanna on partisan grounds,
it is pretty generally conceded that
he will be nominated at the primary
election by a good majority. He has
made good as a congressman as he has
in no other position of trust, and has
a host of friends all over the state
who are giving him loyal support. In
this community in which he lived SO
many years and where he is SO in
timately known by almost every voter
and where his business relations have
been such as to command the respect
and confidence of all. he should be
given the full party vose.
