Will Contest
Division Election
County Officials Have Engaged
Attorneys and Attempt to Set
Aside the Wish Of the Voters

That the segregation of Golden
Valley and Slope counties from
old Billings is to be contested is
now assured. Attorneys have been
engaged by the Medora people and
county officials to carry on the
contest, for which papers were
drawn this week. Judge Engerud
of Fargo and w. F. Burnett of
Dickinson are the attorneys, and
it is reported that they will make
issue on seven different points,
the principal one being the blan-
ket sticker.
The executive committee which
promoted division, especially
Golden Valley county, will carry
on the fight through the courts
and they have already engaged
Attorney Bangs Of Grand Forks,
who, with Attorney Andrews, will
look after Golden Valley county's
interests. The Slope county divi-
sionists have engaged Attorney
General Miller to look after their
interests. The committee from
Beach went to Bismarck this
week to confer with Attorney
Bangs, and up to the time of 60
ing to press they had not returned.
The following from the Dickin-
son Press gives that papers view
of the matter:
The county division business in
Billings dropped a few pegs on
Monday. when Judge Edward
Engerud of Fargo and Attorney
w. F. Burnett of Dickinson visit
ed Medora, the county seat town,
for the purpose of obtaining facts
in connection with the election on
November which they believe
will easily throw out the PROPOSE
tion.
There are several irregular anc
illegal acts in connection with the
division vote in Billings county
which leading attorneys of the
state say will make the vote or
this particular issue null anc
void. Attorney Burnett, wher
seen in his Offices in the Dakots
National bank building did no,
care to state just the points Of at
tack, but he assured the Pres!
that it was strong case from hi:
side and he said that it woule
bring out some very interesting
points of law. One point which
is looted upon by many as being
fatal is the "blanket stickers'
which were used in the election
The papers in the case will like
ly be served early next week
The suit will probably come be
fore Judge w. c. Crawford earl!
in January, perhaps at the regu
lar term of court at Medora OF
the 10th of next month.
1t will be remembered that Of
the face of the returns the Colder
Valley proposition carried by 8
majority and the Slope by 1875.
Last week the Beach paper
thought that Golden Valley, will

Thousand---Cities Not Given

The census report for North
Dakota was made public Wednes-
day and shows an increase in pop.
ulation Of nearly 80 per cent dur

The increase in the population
in both North and South Dakota
will entitle the two states to one

large number of people in Billings
county who think that Governor
Burke will not be legally called
upon to appoint county officers
for Golden Valley or Slope coun-
ties for several years yet. In
the meantime new railroad build
ings may change things around so
that other lines of division will
be wanted.

In spite of the contest proceed
ings there is still a lot Of talk at
Medora in regard to annexing
what is left Of Billings to Stark
county should the contest fail, and
this makes it appear that the
Medora people have not much
faith in knocking the election
out. The following dispatch from
Medora appeared in this morn.
ing's Forum:
Medora. N. D., Dec. S.-County
annexation is one of the topics
being talked in what is left to
Billings county since the creation
of two new counties by reason of
the recent election. There is a
pronounced sentiment in favor Of
submitting the proposition Of
holding an election in Stark and
the remaining portion of Billings
county to bring about the con-
solidation of the two counties.
1t is contended that the county is
too small to be opened on an eco
nomical basis.

Balloonist Forbes and Astrono-

Victims.

Center, KY, May 1.-Holland
Forbes, the New York aeronaut, and
J. G. Let's, the New York astronomer,
who were injured in their balloon
north of here yesterday, are this
morning reported alive and both con-
sclous at the little hamlet ten miles
from here where they were carried
by farmer who saw the accident and
it has not been learned whether their
injuries are fatal. The two men
ascended from Quincy, ILL.,, on Monday
night. Gas escaping from the bag
yesterday caused them to lose control
and finally the balloon came to the
earth with terrible force. Forbes and
Yates were picked up apparently dead
and when they recovered conscious
ness several hours later were unable
to give a coherent account of the ac-
cident. Forbes has had a long and
adventurous career as balloonist. He
is vice president of the Aero Club of
America and won the Latham cup last
October for the longest flight of the
year.

HOW INTERNATIONAL PEACE
BECOMES POSSIBLE.
Former Secretary of State Says That
Wars With Spain, Mexico and
England Were Unnecessary.

Hartford, Conn, May 11.-John w.
Foster, former secretary of state in
an address here yesterday heforetthe
New England arbitration congress
raised the question whether it was
reasonable to expect peace among the
nations, and stated mat the prevailing
answer to the question would be in
the negative
After combating this position at
some length, Mr. Foster took up the
three foreign wars in which our
country has engaged, and discussed
them in detail. The war of 1872 with
Great Britain, he contended, although
justified under international law, was
entered upon against the better judg
ment of the country.
President Madison and a large min
ority in congress strenuOusly opposed
it, and it was only entered upon under
the lead of party known as the
j''War Hawks" at the head of whom
were Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun
and other young public men, with the
boast that we would dictate a peace
at Quebec.
Five days after congress declared
war and long before the news reach
ed England, the orders in council,
which were the main cause of the war,
we're repealed. Peace was made with
, out settling a single question about
which the contest was begun Never
was war more fruitless in its con,
clusion. 1t was neither inevitable nor
necessary.
In the judgment of history the wal
with Mexico was provoked on our part
and was largely inspired by the spirit
of slavery extension.
! The war with Spain had some ot
the characteristics of that of 1872 in
that the president was strongly op
posed to a resort to arms, and strug
gled for peace to the last, and it was
congress and an excited press thAt
! unnecessarily forced hostilities. The
Spanish government would in the enc
have yielded to the demands of oul
government if time had been allowed
for the negotiations.
Mr.. Foster then made a review O
| the returns of the United States will
Great Britain and Canada to SHOW
how the many irritating questions dur
ing the last hundred years had beel
settled peaceably.
The naval disarmament agreemen
for the Great Lakes, which has beel
in force for nearly a century, wa
cited to show how an enlarged dis
armament might be put into practice

Fort Sumner, n. NJ, May lit is
reported that Clovis capital is TO be
invested here for the erection of a

An old timer here has warmed some
cold feet by predicting that Fort

years than Clovis. Of course the
ground for this belief is the fact that
our gravity irrigation system makes
us Independent of the weather. There
