st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 80. - c. p.
Welsh, aged As, discharged special
agent of the Great Northern railway.
entered the office of Chief Special
Agent AL. c. Ray this morning and
without warning shot FIVE times at
Ray and missed him.
Ray lodged each shot and at the
fifth got his gun into action and shot
Welsh dead.
About two months ago Ray dis
charged Welsh for shooting at man
at Duluth. Since that time Welsh had
been very vindictive against Ray.
Yesterday meeting Special officer
John Lane at Great Northern head
quarters, Welsh began to curse and
revile Ray. Lane told Welsh to keep
still as he would not allow Welsh to
speak disrespectfully Of his superior
officer in his (Lane's) presence. Welsh
then directed his wrath against Lane
saying he would get Lane too.
Today Welsh walked into Mr.. Rays
office and asked Chief Clerk Hess If
there was any mail. On being told
there was nothing for him he said he
would return in a couple Of days and
went away.
Shortly afterwards Ray entered his
private Office and was hardly seated
az his desk when Welsh entered and
without saying word began shoot
ing. Ray lodged each shot success
fully and at the fifth shot got his gun
into action and with the first bullet
killed the would-be assassin.
Ray was the man who recently I'M
earthed extensive trip pass frauds
which had been practiced against the
Great Northern in connection with
contract labor.
Threw Bottle Of Nitro GIycerine.
Welsh was shot four times, once
through the head and once through the
stomach and each of these two wounds
the coroner says would have been ia
tai Just before he fell dead, Welsh
pulled out pint bottle Of nitro gly-
cerine with fuse and percussion cap
attached, from his pocket and hurled
it to the floor.
1t failed to explode and the police
say they believe that the failure to
explode was due to the fact that 1t was
wrapped in heavy paper, otherwise it
would have blown that part of the inn
mense Great Northern building to
fragments and caused a terrible loss
Of life.
Ray gave himself up pending action
by the coroner.

JOHNSON IS
OPTIMISTIC
Republican Candidate Cheered
by Tour Of State

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 30.--On a
tour which will take him into almost
every section of the state, c. A. John
son, republican gubernatorial candi-
date, is making a preliminary survey
of the political field with view to
determining where the heaviest work
of the approaching campaign must be
done. He was in Grand Forks yes
terday meeting the politicians Of this
section of the state and on his de-
parture expressed himself as being ex-
ceedingly well peased with conditions.
"There appears every reason to be-
lieve that the coming campaign will be
fraught with success for the entire re-
publican ticket" said Mr.. johnson.
'.One of the most conclusive proofs of
this fact is the, general attitras of the
voters with whom met, many OF whom
l know were against me in the cam
paign Of two years ago, but who have
now pledged their support.
Better Feeling in Ward.
Il feel absolutely confident that my
own county viii give me a splendid
majority. There were peculiar condi-
lions in Ward county two years ago
brought on by the several division con-
tests. An effort has been made to in
volve me in the county seat removal
contest in Mountrail county even this
year, but the assertions made in GER
tain quarters that l have interested
myself in their fight are not based on
fact. am not taking sides nor have
myself or any of my friends made
any trade or deal of any kind
Opposition to me in Minot and
Ward county lies entirely with the
democrats and with one or two others
processing republican faith. Friction
supposedly occasioned at the time of
the meeting of the county central
committee has been eliminated. In fact
everything seems to be entirely salts
