SECOND INFANTRY TO
 CAMP AT NIANTIc.
Decision on This Has Been Reached
 Political Side of It.

The Second infantry. c. N. G., will encamp at Mantle in July. This has been. definitely decided. In May or June there will be a school for insfruc- tion of officers in tilf state, conducted by regular army officers from Fort Leavenworth, Kan, says a. New Haven despatch. Attendance will not be con- pulsory, but officers of the various commands will be expected to attend. The regimental camps in the summer will therefore not prevent the state from drawing an appropriation from the federal government toward the support of the National Guard.
 The decision to have the Second regiment camp at Mantle will be well coned in political circles.N No year in the states history has promised so much excitement among the candf- dates for offices and their supporters as this one has, and the sumnef out ing of the regiment will bring many canvasses to a focus.

s5,ooo INSURANCE PAID
On Life of Man Who Was Executed in
 New Jersey Prison.

New York, Feb. 27.-The novel con- tention that the applicant misstated his occupation as that of a travelling g saIesmen when in fact he was a pro- fessional burglar, has failed to sup port the refusal of one of the large insurance companies to pay a $5,0o0 policy on the life of Adolph Bertchey, alias Big Bill Travis, a burglar who was put to death in the state prison at Trenton N. J., last August, for murder. The company decided not to force the issue in the courts and sent a-check for the amount to Big Bil1's widow Of this city. The company had further contended that death by legal execution was not contemplated in the contract with Bertchey and that since his own act in killing a man was di- rect1y responsible for his death, he was to all intents and purposes a suicide, which absoived the company from re- sponsibility

County Auditor Larson had placed the

The auditor claims that according
to law, it is not only his privilege,
but his duty to place the job where
he sees fit, and providing the price
lis a fair one, the county commits
soners are supposed to pay the bill.
The present board, however, have
taken the bit in their teeth, so to
speak, and have let the contract them
selves The Auditor informed them
that the job had already been let,
and the stock ordered for the work,
the job having been awarded to the
Ward County Independent. The Inde-
pendent intends to 60 ahead with the
work, providing we are mot shown

An interesting fact developed when
the county auditor explained that the
bid for the Farnum Printing com.
pany was not received until Saturday
morning, or the day after the limit
of time when the bids should have
been received, viz Friday afternoon at
2 o'clock, the day before. This win
make interesting developments, IL
the company happens to do the print
ing.
The auditor stated that he had in
formed the Farnum Printing Co., that
he positively refused to place the Or
der with them, and would not draw a
warrant for them in case they ut
ahead with the work. In additi |,
the auditor states that he is pref -
ing to secure restrain ng papers f; n
the judge, prohibiting the conn j.
sioners from interfering with his IT,
ties.
The statute provides that the audi
tor shall order the supplies and states
that the commissioners shall see that
the ballot boxes are supplied.
The auditor does not believe that
the Farnum Printing Co., can print
election supplies for North Dakota q
well as house that is faminar with
the North Dakota law. It would no
doubt be necessary for him to spend
portion of the time In Minneapolis
Ut the county's sxpenss, during the
period Of printing these ballots.

wise one, and it is not believed that
it will hold water.
