Neuman Tells Who Sold Booze

Bismarck. n. D.. Oct. 20.-Sam
Newman, an Indian who IS under
arrest here charged with the MUIR
der of Roscoe Conklin. on Fort
Berthold reservation, was returned
to the county Jail here after hay
ing been taken to Washburn.
where he identified Jos. Pulchner
as the man who sold him the whis-
key upon which he became intoxi-
Gated Just before he shot and kill
ed Conklin. Newman stated pos
itively that Pulchner was the man
who furnished him with the into1-
icants and the man was bound oy-
er to the next term OF federal
court. ...-...
There is a heavy punishment
for a man who sells Intoxicating
LIQUOR to an Indian. and if Puich-
ner is convicted it is probable that
he will get the limit in the light
of the events which followed this
particular sale.

The Brain and the Man

known man. whose insanity was due
to a brain tumor. On September

rectly on the brain itself. a tumor
as large as a hens egg was remov-
ed. and in few days the mans
mind burst forth from the mists
that had enshrouded it. In tor
rent Of hardly Ineligible words he
told who he was. explained that he
had worked at paper mill before
he had lost his mind; and that he
made from $50 to 500 a month;
that his wife. Blanche Ellen War

buried IN Denver: that he had a
boy named Robert, IL years old;
that he came from Hamil, Ohio.

purchased the northwest quarter
of section seven, township one
hundred fifty, range seventy-six
the other day and paid an even

Expect to Lose Now

Three weeks from next Tuesday
is election day but as yet there is
little stir along political lines in
this county. There appears to be
no great factional feeling among
therepublicans in the county since
the primaries and the Globe -Gaz-
ette believes that the republicans
have learned lesson during the
past two years and that most Of
them will support the entire re-
publican state ticket. The demo-
Gratis do not hope to elect any of
the candidates for state Office ex-
cepting Governor Burke and will
put in their time in working for
him. During Governor Burke's
term Of office a good many OF the
faithful have been rewarded with
nice fat appointments and they
can be depended upon to hang on
to these if possible. The republi-
cans who have heretofore support
ed Burke, are beginning to learn,
however. that Burke has not done
any more as governor Of the state
than lots Of other governors and
they have reason to believe thatC
A. johnson is as good for the Of
flee if not tetter. Besides they
have learned that democratic
governor makes democratic ap-
pointments. Now it is doubtful
if any republicans can be led estray
as have been during the past two
campaigns.-Wahpeton Globe-Ga-

A Poor Practice

There is sentiment over the
country that the charivari business
at the expense of the newlyweds
has been overtlone. The Woman S
Daily has the following editorial:
There is a distinct line which
should be drawn between fun and
rowdyism. OF late years there has
been an increasing tendency on
the part of some people who are so
witty that they probably have
trouble in restraining themselves
from writing at least one almanac
a year. to make life miserable for
their newly married friends and
acquaintances In their exuber-
ance Of spirit they have passed
the bounds set by the master Of
ceremonies at the old-fashioned
chariyari. First there were the
mirth provoking labels on the tour
lists baggage. the placards on the
cabs and the telegrams calculated
to make life miserable for two per-
sons who had hoped to set out So
berly and lovingly upon life's jour
ney,
Now the humorists have become
tired Of these diversions. Some
thing more original must be done.
And it was done. down in Oklaho-
ma few nights ago. The result
is that a bridegroom is near death
and the bride looks forward to
widowhood. Funny, isn't it? 1t
was all a joke. of course. when the
men who had been guests at the
wedding attempted to kidnap the
young benedict just as the train
started and allow the bride to pro-
ceed on her journey alone. In the
scuffle which was inevitable the
husband received an injury which
might prove fatal. He was hast
ened to hospital where he lies in
a precarious condition.
Why should a wedding be re-
garded as such side-splittlng
joke? Marriage is the most sacred
of civilizations institutions. 1t is
not an occasion for sorrow. OF even
for tears and long faces. But nei-
ther is it an occasion for the dis
play of wanton foolhardiness. Let's
all wait until there is something
to laugh about.

as to pilfer second. Walter Queisser
took a hand in piling up the runs by
driving one far out into the grove, and
again Nadeau had a chance to make
brilliant catch, but again he failed, and
two runs came in. Had he caught the
ball, nothing could have prevented one
man from scoring, as the drive was not
a great distance from the Brown Beau

pegged it in in time to stop the tally.
AS it was, Queisser got credit for

NOTES OF THE GAME

OFF tomorrow for Waterloo for a
two-day stay. Then home again for
couple of days with Dubuque
Six Prodigals were nipped at sec
ond base in various ways, some by
OLeary's nice pegs when they tried
to pilfer, several more by throws
from infielders who chose to retire
the runners furtherest along and one
who was nipped off first and COM
PEELED to run to second.
Holycross had his eye on the ball
all right, getting just half of the hits
that the team made. While we dom
think much of his team, we do think
that Holycross himself is some pun
kins and he certainly is an improve
ment over his predecessor in the
managerial field. He hasn't exhibit
ed any tendencies thus far to get
rabid when he is losing.
Callahan, Snyder and Davidson
were the particular stars of the con-
test. The former two engineered
the prettiest relay in from deep cen
ter that has been seen here for a
coon's age. In the fourth inning
when Holycross was on first, Foutz
doubled to the fence. 1t was a nice
clean drive and Callahan with all his
speed could not bring it down He
had it the moment it rebounded from
the fence, however, and his throw
to Snyder, who had run out back of
second, was well nigh perfect
Heinie was not to be outdone, how
ever, and his throw to the plate to
catch Holycross was perfect. The
ball fairly hummed through the air
on line and plunked into Dams big
mitt in exactly the right position to
touch a sliding runner. Holycross
was in the air about to fall on the
plate when O'Leary jabbed the ball
onto him and put him out. David
sons brilliant play came in the sixth
inning when Nadeau drove a liner to
left. Davy came in at top speed and
picked it right of the top of the
grass, and incidentally, there was no
tumble afterwards to make it look
like it was harder than it really was.
1t was a beautiful catch neverthe-
less.
