IN BRIBERY PROBE
Vice President Sherman Men
toned by Senator Gore
SEVERAL OTHERS IMPLICATED
Curtis of Kansas and Mcclure of Ok
Iahoma Alleged to Be interested
in Indian Land Deal.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 5.-Carrying
out his purpose to disclose all he
knew concerning an alleged offer of a
bride of $4,000 for which, he said, he
was asked to promote a $4,000, 900 In
dian land deal, United States Senator
7. P. Gore told the special Investigate
ing committee of the house of repre-
sentatives the time and place at which
the alleged bride was offered.
Senator Gore charged Jacob Ha-
mon, former national Republican com
mitteeman from Oklahoma, with Of
fering the bride at Washington on
May G.
Senator Gore declared that when he
frowned on the proffer Hamon said
the amount would be raised to $50
600. "Hamon also told me that Sen
ator Charles Curtis of Kansas and
Congressman B. S. Mcclure of Okla
homa were interested in the McMur.
ray contracts" testified Senator Gore.
NAoS "HiiS L dIl DOu IL, / ludI DIS
well tell that he said an official high
er up in the government was also in
terested in the deal"
Vice President Sherman was named
by Senator Gore as the man quoted
higher up in connection with the Nc
Murray contracts.
Gore Says He Was Amazed.
when he named persons higher up
l held up my hands in establishment
and said, Is it possible that Il person
so high in the United States govern
ment could lay himself open to such
an inputation?'
WELL" replied Hamon, that is a
lot of money, you see"
The bribery offer, said Senator Gore,
followed his opposition to the approval
by congress Of what are known as the
McMurray contracts, which affect the
Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes of In
dians.
BY these contracts, he said, j. F. Nc
Murray, an attorney, and associates
were to receive 10 per cen of the
profits on the sale of 100000 acres of
coal and asphalt lands belonging to
the Indians. AS a New York syndi-
cate stood ready to pay $50, 200, 900 for
the lands the 10 per cen to the Nc
Murray interests for Attorneys FEES
would realize $4,000, 600, said the sena.
tor.

WILLlST0N IN BEET BELT
Department Experts Impressed With
Results in North Dakota.

Williston as the center of one of the
sugar beet districts in the United
States, is the hope of business men
and as a result of the success that
farmers have already met with, a
larger acreage will doubtless be sown
next season. Just now those interest
ed are urging Upon the farmers the
advisability of raising the beets.
The beets raised on the North Da-
kota experimental farm near Willis
ton were the subject of favorable com
ment by a quartet of government Off
Gals engaged in making a tour of the
Northwestern stations for the purpose
of determining what work was being
done. These men were G. G. Schofield,
E. C. Chilcott, H. D. King and S. l..
Warner, all connected with the depart
ment Of agriculture.
Williams county soil, they declared,
was remarkably well adapted for the
raising of the sugar beets. The beets
have proved the finest quality and
there appears to be no reason why
every farmer in the district should not
be successful in growing them.
E. S~chollander, in charge of the
state experimental station at Willis
ton, is optimistic over the future of
the beet industry.

FACTIONS ARE AGAIN AT WAR
Organization Of State Central Com
mittee Bone of Contention.

Stalwart and progressive Republi-
cans are again at war, the bone of
contention being the organization of
the state central committee. the men,
bership of which was made up at
the meetings of the county committees
the past week, and all of which
were to be held before Aug. 10. Merry
fights for control have been witnessed
in all of the county committees that
have so far organized, Barnes, Bur.
leigh and Ramsey furnishing the mi.
tial fireworks.
At the meeting of the state commit
tee in Bismarck on Sept. 10 the result
of these county contests will become
known. 1t is hardly likely anything
definite OH the complexion of the Or
ganization will be %obtainable before
that time.
The primary election does not pro-
vide for any definite method of calling
the county committees together.
Each county elects members of the
state committee from each of the leg
islative districts, and in the
ties where there is more than n leg
islative district, competitions over the
tanning OF the state committeeman
were exceptionally warm. Grand
Forks, Cass and Ward each have
three legislative districts. while a
great many others have two. In all
there are forty-seven legislative dis
tricts in the state.

Wardens After sooners.

Sooners in this state will be severe
ly dealt with this year, according to
the game wardens that are stationed
in different sections of the state.
They are already prosecuting a vigor-
GUS campaign against the illegal kill
ing of game and several arrests have
been made, principally in the western
part of the state. The temptation to
kill prairie chickens this year is an
exceptionally strong one, the crop of
chickens being unusually good, while
they are also already we'll grown and
plump. Additional game wardens are
being appointed in almost every town
ship in the state at the present time,
and they will serve the remainder of
the present year.

REJECTS COMPANY'S OFFER
Grand Forks Will Continue to Operate
Its Own Lighting System.


Grand Forks city will continue to
operate the street lighting system
from its own plant, turning down the
proposition submitted by the Red
River Power company, which is now
owned by H. M. Byllesby & Co. of
Chicago. The company offered to
care for the city's system entirely,
but it appears that in order to &C.
cept the proposition the city would be
put to a greater expense than before,
as it's electric lighting plant and water
plant are in the same building. A
trial OF six months is to be made to
determine whether or net the city is
profiting by operating the system, and
IT at the end of that time it is found
advisable to make a contract with the
gas and electric company, such steps
will be taken.

From Moving Machine

Ross Wilford of Pearl, received
very severe cut from a moving
machine on the 18th. He and Ed
Lenke were making hay on their
ranoh. Something went wrong
with the harness on the team which
was drawing the mower and while
Wilford was fixing it, standing in
front of the sickle while doing it,
the horses suddenly started. He
made a leap to get out of the way
but was caught by the end of the
sickle which cut through the shoe
Just back of the left ankle and COM
pletely severed the large ligament
connecting the heel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilfofd immediate
ly drove to Encam pment where DR..
Irwin gave the wound attention but
found it to be of such a nature as
to require better attention and ap-
pliances than could be secured
here and Mr. Wilford left Sunday
morning for Denver hospital. DR..
Irwin states that no permanent in
Jury will result from the wound.

course of the line for the entire dis
tance has not been fully determln-
ed. A preliminary survey is being
made through the town of Pearl
and on towards Hahn's Peak, but
as yet it is not decided whether the
line will go that way or pursue the
former course laid out for it.
Whatever route may be chosen
through that particular section it
will be near enough to Pearl to en-
courage the reopening of several of
the better developed mining prop
critics of that district, the develop
ment of which has been heretofore
seriously handicapped by long dis.
tance from transportation facilities.
All things come to those who wait,
and the time is now rapidly ap-
preaching when Pearl can make a
demonstration of her great minefdi
wealth, which is sure to make the
mining world set up and take notice
