ity Leader Browne resumed the wit
ness stand in the Lorimer investiga-
ton today. His testimony was a re-
cital of the story of the lake trips he
made with Representative White and
others, and when opportunity offered,
a denial of connection with the alleg-
ed bribery in Lorimer's election.
Held Good Party Move.
Browne gave these as reasons for
the democratic votes for Lorimer.
1t was desirable to break the dead
lock
Lorimer was considered more dem
ocratic in some of his views than the
other republicans.
The election of Lorimer promised to
split the republican party of the state,
thus increasing the chances of demo
cratic success.
Brown and Broderick Stars.
State Senator John Broderick and
Representative Browne were the star
witnesses yesterday. Both of the dem
ocratic legislators made sweeping de-
malls of participation in the alleged
llSulSu III ILe SlGCIlOn
of Senator Lorimer. Both are under
indictment in Sangamon county and
both were expected to plead their con-
stitutional privilege against giving res-
timony against themselves. Browne,
however, did not avail himself of this
plea and Broderick used it only to
keep from the Sangamon county prose
cution two facts in connection with his
defense-the names Of the witnesses
at the meeting at which he is charged
with having paid State Senator D. w.
Holstlaw $4,000 and the message, If
any, which he sent to Holstlaw asking
him to meet him in Chicago.
Climax of Hearing.
The testimony of Browne and Brod-
erick has long been heralded as the
biggest feature of the inquiry, and to a
large extent proved the climax of the
hearing. The committee room was
crowded with the biggest audience of
the session. Both of the witnesses
were subjected to a vigorous examina-
ton by Attorney Alfred S. Austrian

UNIQUE VIEW OF FARGO.
for the New illustrated Book to
Be Issued July is.

w. F. Cushing has distributed a few
copies of a rather remarkable view Of
part of the city. The picture is sixteen
inches lorg and four inches deep and
will extend across two pages of his
forthcoming illustrated book of Fargo.
The view is taken from the rear of
the operahouse and shows in the fore
ground the lower walls Of the new Pho
neer Life Insurance Co.'s building at
the corner Of Roberts and First ave-
nue. north. Back of the Pioneer Life
building looms up the new North Da-
kota Improvement Co.'s building, the
Y. M. c. A. and the Gardner hotel,
while to the right is shown the federal
building and the beautiful A. o. u. w.
headquarters, all showing unusually
large and imposing. Owing to the
erection of the Pioneer Life building,
this view can never be secured again
and 1t is therefore especially valuable
on that account.
The Fargo book will be published
about July Is. 1t will be printed in
dual tone ink on India tint enamel
paper. and will have a handsome cover,
the general color scheme being brown
throughout. 1t will contain over 100
views of the city and prove a handsome
and valuable advertisement for the city
and its business interests.

COMMITTED FOR

LEO BERGER SENT TO COUNTY

SHIP,

Bismarck, N. D., June 25.-Leo
Berger who has been living at the
home of his stepfather in Cromwell
township, was committed to the county
Jail by Justice Thompson of Ghylin
township on charge of grand lar
ceny.
1t is said that the stepfather, Peter
Fox, dealt with the boys mother and
her other children with uncalled for
severity, 1t fact, it is reported that
he beat them badly on various oc-
casions and that the mother herself
came in for some share Of the pun
ishment. 1t seems that Mrs. Fox de-
termined to leave the place and apply
for divorce and decided to take some
of her possessions with her. Their
boy, Leo, drove the wagon containing
the things which she asserts were her
personal property, and the stepfather
swore out a warrant for his arrest on
the charge named
Young Berger has been bound over
to the district court on $1,000 bond.

but failed to show up. The insurgent
committee had band at the depot for
him, playing Hail to the Chief, but
the chief never hailed them at all. 1t
Is reported that he learned the political
conditions in his home district were
bad and he rushed madIy home to
look after his own political fences, 1t
viii be a sad blow to Marshall and
Gronna, as he was expected to save
this worthy pair OF eminent heroes.
The disappearance of Lindbergh is
rather amusing TO some of those peo-
pie who had been informed by the
eliminators that during the campaign
such eminent populistic orators as La
Toilette, Bristow. Dolliver, Cuhmins
and others would come to the state to
life up their voice in behalf of the
eliminators. 1t had been reported
there would be whole flock OF these
foreign orators to boost for the census.
Iindbergh was the only one to come
within the state. He made one speech
and then myteriously retreated to the
tall timbers. He undoubtedly saw the
forlorn condition of the North Dakota
insurgents and the weakness OF Bosses
Marshall and Gronna and thought he
ought to be going while the going was
good.
