Lost On the Prairie for Three Hours.

Lost On the Prairie for Three Hours,
M. U. Roe was down from his
farm near Underwood last Monday
transacting business in the county
seat. He told about an experience
his twenty year old son Ralph had
had that morning. Ralph has
been helping out on the Frank
Furst farm lately during the alb
sence of Mr.. Furst and on Sunday
decided to 90 home, a distance of
four miles, to spend the day. On
Monday morning at four he sad
died his horse to return. 1t was
very foggy and he could not see
ten rods ahead. After he had
been out'a-short time he came to a
hay stack that is only three quart
ers Of "a mile from the house.
Three different times he returned
to this same stack when he de-
oided TO build q fire and remain
there until daylight. He only had
two matches with him but they
proved 70 Be- enough and at seven
he went home, ate his breakfast
and stsrted ont again for the Fnrst
farm.

Gronna May Move to So. Carolina

Beach Advance: There is.no po-
sition which calls forth so much
comment as does the seeking Of
political :preferment at the hands
Of voters Of a large state. A mans
past, present and future is paraded
before the people with the hopetof
influencing votes one way or the
other, but in the midst Of it all
there is usually some FIRE back Of
q large volume Of smoke.
A. j. Gronna, as q senatorial
candidate, is receiving some ques-
tionable recommendation from
those people who live in his part
The Washburn leader., 1910-01-21

of the state and know him from
personal contact. Believing that
they ought to know we print the
following from an exchange:
Walt Taylor is humorous, some
times immensely so. He says he
is convinced" that a majority Of
the republicans desire Gronna and
Marshall for U. s. senators land
that in their case the principles of
popular government will be ex-
emplified and vindicated in the
election of the coming year."
"Exemplifed" through Gronna,
the tool and creature of the Great
Northern railroad, who used a
wheelbarrow load of free mileage
books and passes to corrupt the
voters of Nelson and adjoining
counties in his last campaign?
The same Gronna who gleefully
and brazenly danced with joy
when the insurgent forces went
down to defeat in the last primary
election and proudly proclaimed
himself one of Alex McKenzie's
noble stalwarts? The same Gron-
na who made his ''wad' by taking
advantage of the necessities of the
farmers of his community? The
same Gronna who has been in con-
gress five years and has never done
anything except peddle fourth
class postofhces and 'immitate''
big men? The same Gronna who
never had an original idea, who is
one thing today and nothing to-
morrow, but always for Gronna?
And this is one of the mediums
through which the principles of
popular government is to be 'ex-,
emplifed!'"
Yes, brother, and in this case
the ''tire back of the smoke" has
got such headway that Gronna's
bucket brigade will be kept busy
eight days in the week for the
next several months trying to ex-
tinguish it. We will also add
that this is the same Gronna who
peddled postofices to Chas. Bill
lows { (Democrat) of Turtle Lake,
Christ Heer, Democrat of Martin,
besides placing another democrat
in the Office at Nc cClusky.
It is the same Gronna who con-
stantly hands out benefits to the
enemy, ignores the party principles
of republicanism and then has the
temerity to ask that party to place
him in the U. S. Senate.
It is the same Gronna whose
motto appears to be 'Good Lord,
good DEVIL" and who is taking
special care that the devil is satis-
fed first.
IF Gronna wants to be u. s.
Senator he should move to South
Carolina or some other democratic
state where he could get the full
vote of his party and where the
surroundings would be more con-
genial. Furthermore, we question
Gronna's ability to ''imitate big
men, without getting caught in
the act.

NEW POSTMASTER
FOR TURTLELAKE|
So Says the Wave--Man IS IN tie

The latest report as we go to
press is that A. T.. Maxwell has
received the appointment as post
master at Turtle Lake. If this re-
port prove true the Wave extends
it's Christmas greeting to all unre-
servedly.
Farmers have been kicking all
winter because the wind doesn't
blow hard enough to run their
windmills. Never before have we
heard North Dakota slandered for
that weakness of the elements.
But it is true as it is strange. The
windy days are scarce.
A woman at Mercer went into 9

man who used his strength on q

About 8 O'Clock Saturday eve

continuous and discordant footing
from an N. P. yard engine. The
round house had caught on fire
from defective chimney. An Of
fort was made to save the building
but it was no use, the flames quick,
ly spread and the building burned
and all it contained six ton OF
coal and two carloads Of cordwood.

DECISION MADE IN
SUPREME COURT
A Ruling Made By District Judge
Winchester Slightly Changed
By the Higher Court

"0SuSSseA Su6utiy NAdA6e"
By the Higher Court
Bismarck, N. D.. Jan. l3.-Dur-
ing recent session of the grand
jury of Burleigh county, Attorney
General Miller took exceptions to
the ruling of Judge Winchester of
the. district court, that no one but
the states attorney of Burleigh
county could appear before that
body as a prosecuting attorney.
Attorney General Miller then ap-
piled to the supreme court for a
writ of certiorari which was grant
ed by the supreme court in de-
cision handed down Wednesday
afternoon. This means that the
attorney general has the right to
appear before any grand jury in
the state and settle a question
that has been bothersome for a
number Of years.
The decision of the court is that
the attorney general and his as
sistants have the right to appear
before the grand jury and examine
witnesses and lay before it any
matters relative to the violation of
the prohibition law, and, that the
attorney general has the right to
appear before the grand jury at
any time when in his judgment he
deems it for the best interests Of
the same to do so, and that each of
his assistants have the same right.
The opinion is by Carmody with
Spaulding and Ellsworth concur
ring and Morgan and Fisk discept-
ing.
In order that the general public
may have a clearer understanding
of the foregoing we will say that
the public examiner Investigated
the various county offices of Bur-
leigh county and reported his
findings to the the governor. The
governor deemed the report of
such importance that he at once
instructed the Attorney General,
Andrew Miller, to get busy on the
case.
Mr.. Miller, acting under these
instructions, went before the dis
trict court and asked that a grand
jury be called to audit the ac-
counts of the Offices and determine
whether anything Of an illegal
nature had been committed either
knowingly or otherwise.
The court permitted the jury to
be summoned but refused to allow
the attorney general admission to
its sessions as prosecutor, the re-
suit being a considerable bill of
expense to the county with moth
ing accomplished.
Mr.. Miller, feeling his RESPONSE
bility to the governor and to the
people of the state of North Da-
kota in particular, made applica-
tion to the supreme court for the
writ of certiorari, which was grant
ed as above shown, and hereafter
the attorney general or his assist
ants will have the right to appear
before any grand jury of the state
as prosecutor. This is one import
ant step taken in the direction of
cleaner administration of public
affairs in every county of the
state.
