RESIGNS
News A Surprise To His Parish
toner's And Many Hot
Springs Friends.

prise and disappointment among Hot
Springs people is the resignation of
Rev. Father Joseph Judnic, pastor
of st. Anthony's parish, chaplain at the

ton was. accepted by Bishop Busch

Father Judnic was ordained at st.

On June 25th of the same year he took
charge of his first parish at Bonesteel,
this state, and had for missions, Fairfax
and Herrick He had charge of the
work there for two years during which
time he built churches in all three of
the towns, the largest being at Bone
steel at cost of $4,000.
On May 2Sth, 1907, he came to Hot
Springs and Immediately upon his ar.
rival here entered the Sisters Hospital
as a patient and was operated on for
appendicitis. Upon recovering from
in this city. His first task was to
settle outstanding debts against the
church amounting to over five hundred
dollars. The church building itself
was merely an old school building.
During his residence here he has paid
off all Indebtedness besides remodeliug
the church at a cost of over $500 and
remodeled or practically built new
churches in each of the towns in his
mission. The membership for this CITY

work of two priests as since his resig-
nation two have been appointed to fill
his place. Rev. Father Eisele will have
charge of the parish and Sanitarium

Father Judnic has not as yet decided
on what he will do. Whether he will
accept government chaplaincy or will
enter the Catholic University at Wash.
lngton, ID. c. and take postgraduate
course. More than likely he will enter
the university. He has months vaca-
tion in which to decide and will spend
most of that time with friends in the
Hills.
Father Judnic is man little over
thirty years of age and for man of
his experience has made an enviable
reputation since being ordained. His
many Hot Springs and Black Hills
friends will wish him success wherever
he may locate in his chosen work.

in Very Serious Condition.

DR.. @. w. Hargens was called to
Chadron last Thursday in consultation
on the case of Mrs. Smith, daughter of
the we'll known woman lawyer, Fanny

pendicitis in this institution since it

record hard to beat.

HILL TALKS WITH
PRESIDENT
Declares Recent Elections
Prove the People Vote
Independently.

Washington. Nov 26.-James J.
Hill had talk today with President
Taft Afterward he had this to say
on politics:
The last election has taught the
politicians of the country something
valuable, that party lines no longer
exist to an important extent and
that men art thinking, voting and
acting along independent lines. The
demagogue and the agitator have
held sway so long that it is really
a relief to see the flag of warning
that has been hoisted for their bene-
fit.
Il am of the opinion that the
demagogue and agitator will go
more slowly hereafter when he at
lacks everything and everybody in
sight and merely appeals to the dis
satisfaction Of the people.

HARTMAN LINES BEHIND
STRAH0RN EARLY N GAME
Prominent Railroad Official Says He Knew Secret Since
19O9-Harriman Furnished All the Funds and Stra-
horn Expended but Small Amount for Preliminary
Surveys and Then Tried to Sell His System.

Without the assistance of Robert
E Strahorn, its former president, the
identity of the original hackers of
the North Coast railroad, merged on
Saturday into the Hartman lines,
has been learned.
4 prominent railroad official OF
Seattle declared yesterday that he
had known since May, 1909, that the
Hartman interests had fathered the
scheme and had furnished all the
money, save a small amount eXpend-
cd by Mr.. Strahorn in preliminary
surveys, with which its operations
were carried on. Strahorn, accord
ing TO this railroad official, had lit
tie funds of his own, and in retalia-
tion against James j. Hill for build
ing the North Bank road, Mr.. Harri-
man advanced the cash with which
to finance the North Coast line, and
was behind ii up to the time of his
death, carrying it as secret to his
grave.
Found No Buyers.
Mr.. Strahorn, according to this Of
fetal yesterday. was unable to Sc
cure buyer for his surveys and
franchises for some time after he
had reached the point where he was
ready to begin construction. 1t was
offered. it is declared, to President
A. J. Earring. of the Milwaukee. I'VE
build our own lines" was Mr.. Earl
ing's answer to Mr.. Strahorn's rep
resentative.
but Mr. Strahorn did not stop
there continued the official. He
laid the proposition before Marvin
Hughitt, Of the Northwestern, but
the procrastination and GOODNESS
with which Mr. Hughitt viewed the
scheme caused the Strahorn interests
to make post haste for Canadian Pa
Cific quarters.
Avoid Hill Lines.
-"At no period in the game, how
ever. was the road offered to either
the Great Northern or Northern Pa
cific, and for reasons of his own Mr.
Strahorn ignored the Hill interests
in his transactions.
Closest friends of Mr.. Strahorn
were as much in the dark as to where
the money came from that was build

Official of the Hill lines that the

lines from the beginning. During
