aibouts has been no secret anyone
can get his address at any time for
the asking.
The many friends of DR.. Coe in Val
ley City who have known him since
youth, utterly refuse to believe the
story In any event, The Telegram
only alleges that the work has been
stopped on the Hermiston irrigation
project, company of which DR.. Coe
is president and two liens OF few
thousand dollars filed against the pro-
perry This matter might easily be
explained on several scores without
supposing that DR.. Coe was a fugitive
from his creditors.
DR.. Coe owns and manages one of
the biggest sanitariums in the country,
is president Of four or five banks,
owns one of the finest residences in
Portland, is one of the prominent men
of the Puget Sound country, and is re-
puted to be millionaire.
The entire story smacks of malice
and it Is probable that the Portland
Evening Telegram and possibly sever
al North Dakota newspapers may have
libel suits on their hands when 1T
comes under the notice Of DR.. Herman
Waldo Coe.

SAD PLIGHT OF
PUBLIC CHARGE

Darlington, N. d, Sept. 19.-Miss
Edith Kowelski, who has been a coun-
ty charge the past ten years or so,
fell a victim to tuberculosis some time
ago and has been causing the officials
much trouble since The girl, who is
now IA years old. and became a public
charge when one leg was severed and
her folks departed from the county,
mas been kept at st. Johns academy
at jamestown for many years. When
tuberculosis developed, the academy
peop.e sent her to a Fargo hospital,
but sent the county officials no no.
tice, A few days ago a bill from Fargo
was received asking for $3.50 for her
keep for few weeks. Auditor Burn
ham notified the hospital that the ex-
pense was considered excessive and
stated that the county was caring for
patients at other institutions at half
the cost. The hopital then sent the
girl back to jamestown, but the acad-
envy does not longer desire her pres
ence. Application has been made for
her reception at another hospital in
st. Paul, but no word has yet been
received from them.

FARMER KILLED BY
TRAIN At ANETA

Aneta, N. D., Sept. 19.-As the local
passenger train was about to pull out
from the Rloten depot Ha1vor Roisland,
a prosperous farmer Of Lee township
and who lived a mile north and hair
a miles west Of Kloten came from the
elevators and walked up the track to-
wards the depot, all the while looking
at the passenger train when a fast
west bound freight came up from be-
hind him and struck him, killing him
instantly. The engineer Of the passen-
ger saw the danger the man was in
and sounded the whistle but that only
deadened the noise of the oncoming
train. The unfortunate man never knew
what hit him. He was a little hard Of
hearing and that, and the noise Of the
whistle was in great measure the
cause of his being run over. He was
badly crushed; his left arm was broken
and his skull crushed. The body was
dragged about sixty feet.

EIGHT May Prove Fatal.

Sharon, N. D., Sept. ia fight
which may result fatally to
one of the parties, occurred about eight
miles east of town between two neigh
bors. Torger Berger and Gust Ander-
son, in which Mr. Anderson most de-
cidedly got the worst of 1t.
According to reports by some of
their neighbors, it seems that some of
the Anderson cattle had been turned
loose and allowed to roam at will over
Mr.. Berger's fields. The Bergers had
their grain stacked and the cattle
would come over and feed from their
stacks The Anderson cows came oye,.
and Mr.. Berger went out to drive them
away. While he was so engaged Gust
Anderson came out to where Berger
was, armed with a heavy oak stick
three feet long with sharp square cor
ners, and told Mr.. Berger with whom
he had had some trouble before that
he was going to finish him this time,
and so saying, he proceeded to make
his threat good by lambasting Mr. Ber-
ger with the stick and succeeded In
landing one strike on his arm and one
on the head; after that, however, Ber-
ger got the upper hand of the fight.
and pounded Anderson most unmer-
cifully over the head with Anderson's
own weapon. until he was nearly un-
conscious. Mr. Anderson was later
taken to his home and Or. Peterson, of
Northwood, was sent for, but his cuts
were so many and SO bad that the doc
tor could do nothing for few days
and said that Mr. Anderson was SO
badly hurt that 1t may prove fatal.

COE STORY WORK

Valley City Times Record: The ar
ticle published by the Times Record
yesterday concerning DIR. Herman

cious work OF his enemies, OF which
every successful man has legions. The
dispatch was sent broadcast over the
country by the Portland Evening
Telegram.
Sometime since DIR. Coe sued the
Telegram for libel ana the paper Is
very unfriendly to him, naturally. The
suit originated over a patient who
came to the sanitarium of which DR.
Coe is proprietor. He alleged inn
proper treatment and The Telegram

have a motive in belittling DR.. Coe.

SUFFRAGISTS
FEEL UNEASY

Pierre, S. D., Sept. 19-The equal
suffrage people are feeling a little un-
easy just at present over the situation
in regard to the amendment which Is
to be submitted in November, which
seeks to grant to them the right OF
suffrage.
There was considerable milling in
the legislature over the final action
on that resolution, and on final action
it was amended.
The original resolution sought to
amend section 8 Of article VII. of the
constitution, but before it was finally
acted upon it was deemed best to add
ton 10 to that article instead OF
attempting to doctor section 9.
The journals Of the legislature show
that the resolution was SO amended
and that the title was amended to
conform to that change.
But the engrossing force evidently
fell down." and while they incorpor-
ated the amendment to the resolution
itself, they failed to make the change
IN the title and while the title pro-
poses to amend section 8, the body OF
the resolution itself adds section 10
to that article.
The amendment on the ballot is lust
as 1t Is shown in chapter 1913 of the
session laws, and Is thus slightly con-
ficting, but the house journal on page
1853 shows the amendment to the
title on motion OF Morris.
1t is not likely that the difference
will result in any trouble in case the
amendment carries, as both cover the
same subject matter, but there is
enough difference to allow the rails
Ing Of technical objection in case
anyone 50 desires, and the suffragists
are feeling just a bit uneasy over the
situation.

QUICK JUSTICE
in MANDAN CASE

for quick prosecution of a criminal
was accomplished by the Morton coun-
ty judiciary last week, when an alb
seconding forger and thief was convict
ed and started serving his sentence in
the penitentiary three days after he
had committed the crime. The forger
did his work at Glen Ullin last Thurs
day by forging check on Barnes &
Nelsos for SIS and incidentally stealing
a suit of clothes. He left the same day,
going to Jamestown, where he was
caught by authorities on Friday. Sher-
lift Olson secured the prisoner the same
day and hearing was given the same
afternoon when sentence of one year
In the penttentiary followed and the
next day he was taken to Bismarck
and turned over to the penitentiary
authorities.

ARE TO
MEET AT CAPITAL

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 19.-The
North Dakota Educational association
holds its first fall meeting in Bismarck
on October, IS, 10, 30 and 21. This is
the first time in the history of the
state that the meeting has been held
so far west and is an indication of the
rapid development of the western part
of the state during the past five years.
Bismarck expects to entertain the
largest company of educators which
has ever assembled in the state and
bids a most hearty welcome to all.
The committee of local arrangements
consists If the following:
F. L. Conklin, president OF the COM
mercial club.
Mrs. Fannie Dunn Quain, member of
the board of education.
w. L. Stockwell, superintendent of
public instruction.
E. J. Taylor, deputy superintendent
Of public instruction.
c. L. Vigness, county superintendent
of Burleigh county.
This committee has had several
meetings and has organized the work
Of receiving and entertaining the as
ISOLATION in very thorough manner.
Bismarck is the capitol of the state.
No city in North Dakota has made
such splendid progress along all lines
as Bismarck. We want you to come
to this meeting. We feel certain that
you will be glad you came. There will
be an abundance of hotel accommoda-
tons, numerous and convenient meet
ing places and everything will be done
to make your stay both pleasant and
profitable.
The programme promises to be one
of unusual interest and no up-to- date
teacher can afford to be absent, Chap
ter SO of the session laws of 1909, gives
every board in the state the right to
allow the superintendent, principal and
teachers of the school in it's charge to
attend this meeting without loss of
salary. We believe that boards of edu-
cation in North Dakota are sufficiently
progressive and sufficiently broad
minded to allow their teachers this OBJ
portunity.
Whenever the meeting of the state
educational association has been
changed from the holiday season to a
fall date 1t has resulted in the attend
ance being increased many fold. Such
we believe, will be the result in North
Dakota.
We expect to enroll at least eight
hundred teachers.

BOY HIT BY AUTO.
New Salem Lad Struck by Machine
at County Fair.


Mandan, N. D., Sept 1s.-There was
one accident to mar the festivities OF
the closing day of the sixteenth annu-
al Morton county fair at Mandan Fri
day
August Hole, a 10-Hear-old boy,
whose home is at New Salem, was
struck by an automobile while on his
way to the fair grounds and sustained
broken leg, broken shoulder and
some severe cuts about the face.
The auto was one from Schafer's
auto livery, and was carrying pas
sengers to the grounds. The driver
was in no way responsible for the oc-
currence, as when he saw that the ac-
cident was imminent, he did his best
to stop the machine. But for the
promptness and cool headedness the
boy would undoubtedly have been
killed.
There were three autos on the way
to the fair grounds. Two OF them
We're close together, and they passed
the boy, who ran out into the road
to look after them, unmindful of the
third which was close behind. The
driver saw the boy directly in his
path, and he threw off the clutch at
once and applied the brake but this
checked the machine only partially.
He tried to swerve, but the boy look
ed around and saw him, and tried to
get out Of the way, with the result
that he kept in front OF the car which
struck him on the left side and hurl-
ed him out of the road
The chauffeur picked up the lad and
hurried him to the Mandan hospital
where he remained until a surgeon
was called when his fractures and
bruises were dressed and cared for.
He will be laid UP for time but
is in no great danger.

A Lucky Gun Accident.

Maxbass Monitor: The Newburg
Imperial agent, Ed Williams, and Ed
Miller drove out to the river Sunday
and were enjoying a successful duck
hunt when a painful accident occurred
which might have terminated for all
time Millers' shooting days
Miller had just shot a duck and
Williams went and picked 1t UP. Set
ting his gun down, he. was about to
wipe off some dirt from the barrel
when off it went, the conclusion
throwing the gun against Miller who
was close by and received the full
charge in the place where his daddy
used to paddle him.
The shot. wad and all, went clean
through the neshy part Of this end
of his anatomy causing painful, but,
thank goodness, not necessarily dan
gerous wound.
1t was an accident pure and simple
and no one feels worse about 1T than
Ed Williams, although Ed Miller says:
Forget 1t, I'll be out in a few DAYS.
but will probably take my meals
standing"
