Clarence Frank Lambert Bredfeld,

Mrs. Bredfeld, of Brainerd, MINI.
About three months or so ago the
boy left his home In Brainerd without
the knowledge or consent OF his par

aunt Of having stolen watch. and he
took the matter to heart to such an
extent that 1t was believed that this
wag the reason for his leaving home.
A day or two ago one OF the Min
neapolis newspapers contained a pic
ture OF the boy together with history
Of the case and the request that his
parents be notified. Attorney Sam

LITTLE MAKES
A PREDICTION

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 26.-Sena-
tor c. b. Little of Bismarck, N. D.,
who is in the twin cities, believes the
prohibition issue will be revived in the
state If the Indian bureau carries it's
policy to the extent of closing the sa-
looms of East Grand Forks and Moor
head
1.-The issue is not a live one at the
present time" said Mr.. Little. The
liquor people are not inclined to stir
it up. But Fargo and Grand Forks
people have a good deal invested in
Minnesota towns across the river,
and If this order hits them I expect
to see agitation for resubmission.
Moorhead and East Grand Forks have
been distributing points for liquor
shipped into North Dakota, and deal
ers seem to have been satisfied with
their trade, but 1t will not hurt them
badly If the border towns are made
dry"
Senator Little. while in st. Paul.
met Joseph Roach OF Minot, and other
prominent party men, to talk over the
campaign prospects. Senator Little
says the progressive and stalwart fac
tions are working together, and the
whole republican ticket is bound to
win.
C. A. Johnson will be elected COVER
nor over John Burke by from 2,400 to
10000 plurality, he predicts.

EQUALIZING The
Phone system
ENTIRE DAY PUT IN AT BIS.
MARck BY REPRESENTA-
TIVEs OF LARGE COM
PANlES.

Bismarck, n. D., Aug. 26.-The state
board Of equalization put in a busy
day trying to reach basis wherein
to make assessments on the various
telephone interests of the state.
Messrs. V. G. Noble of Minot, presi :
dent Of the Northern Telephone Co.
and l.. D. Richardson Of Fargo, gem
eral manager of the North Dakota In
dependent Telephone Co., spent the
entire day with the board as the
representatives of the North Dakota
Telephone association. They furnish
ed the board with information and
statistics and did their best to help
them reach a basis upon which to
make their assessments. The two
gentlemen are still in the city and may
be called before the board again be-
fore the matter is finished.
The telephone proposition is the
hardest that the board has encounter
ed yet in it's work. There are so many
varied interests to be considered that
1T is hard to determine a basis to work
on. For example, In contrast to the
stupendous interests of the North Da-
kota Independent Telephone Co.. there
Is one line in the state that is only
twenty miles long, and it is put I'D on
white insulators on fence posts, and
not one teleph-ne pole is used in It's
construction. The lines are long and
short, the interests are great and
small, and it is a difficult matter to
determine basis TO treat one and
all alike. But the board hopes to see
its way clear within the next day or

SNAKE BITES

REPTILE USES THE SECOND ONE
WHEN cAPToR GRAsPS
THZ FIRST.

Towanda, Pa, Aug. 2s.--H. G. spen-
Ger OF Mount Lake, four miles from
Towanda, brought to the county seat
a snake with two heads. The reptile.
which was OF the garter variety, was
beautifully striped and III feet long.
Mr.. Spencer found the snake i'm a
shock OF oats and picked II up intend
ing to snap its head off. While he
was getting a strangle hold on the
head, the other head took hold Of Mr..
Spencer's thumb, and then for the first
time he realized that the reptile had
two mouths. The extra head Is near
the regular one, and the second neck
is about two inches long. The extra
head appears blind, but rudimentary
eyes can be seen with the aid of
magnifying glass. 1t is one of the
most peculiar appearing reptiles ever
killed or captured in this land of
snakes.

PHASE OF FAMOUS
CASE HEARD HERE
DEPOSITION OF FARGO WITNESS
! TAKEN IN MCNAMARA DIVORCE
CASE OF DAKOTA COUNTY,
MISUNDERSTANDING BEFORE a
LOCAL NOTARY PUBLIC.

A deposition was taken this morning
in the Office of the clerk of the district
court in the divorce case of Mary e
Mcnamara VS.. William c. Mcnamara
both Of Dakota county, Nebraska. The
testimony was heard before ]. E. Hen
erickson, notary public. D. T. Sulli
van and John G. Pfeffer acted as coun-
sci for the plaintiff and Alfred Pizey
for the defendant.
The Mcnamara divorce case was
first filed about two years ago in the
county in which the principals reside,
The divorce was refused in the Da-
kota county court and was later car
ried to the Nebraska supreme court,
where 1t is still pending. Reason for
the case being brought here was TO Sc
cure the testimony of witness who
had formerly been an inmate of the
Mcnamara household and who had
been lost sight of by the family.
The witness residing in Fargo whose
testimony was necessary is Mrs. Eva
Oemig, present tousekeeper at the Flor
ence Crittenton home, who formerly
made her home with the Mcnamara
family at their home near Dakota City,
Neb. The testimony taken lasted sew
eral hours, and Mrs. Oen1ig was called
upon to tell incidents she knew to have
transpired while living with the Nc.
Namaras which were rather telling
points against the defendant. All her
assertions were found to corroborate
the allegations made by Mrs. McNa-
mara.
James Pollock, who is filling the
post OF William Green as court Ste
nographer while the latter is away on
his vacation, took the deposition.

BEAR CAUGHT
near MARVEL

Grand Forks, Aug. 26-That Grand
Forks is very nearly in the bear
belt' was evidenced yesterday by the
capture OF q black bear cub Just two
miles south Of Marvel by a couple Of
brothers by the name of Haugen. The
cub weighed about 200 and is a SPLEEN
did specimen. Two old bears and two
cubs were seen between Levapt and
Marvel SO the superstition Ia that the
animals came from the north following
the river
The cub which the Haugen brothers
captured took to a telephone pole
when pursued and was finally pulled
down to the ground with a iasso. The
two old bears and the other cub were
not seen, but 1t Is quite probable that
the farmers in that vicinity will or
ganize a bear hunt.

Marshalltown, Iowa, Aug. 2s.-The
Roosevelt train passed through here
at $40 a. m. today, making a stop Of
seven minutes. A large crowd was at
the station, and despite the fact that
Colonel Roosevelt had wired ahead ex-
pressing his regret at being unable to
speak, the crowd cheered until he ap-
peared. He made a brief speech.
Ames, Iowa, Aug. 26-Speedlng
westward in his special car, Colonel
Roosevelt was not permitted to sleep
late this morning.. Scarcely had the
state of Iowa been entered when a
stop was made at Marshalltown,
where hundreds OF people clamored to
see Roosevelt.
After some delay he emerged from
the rear door of his car smiling. but
protesting that he had not been sched-
uled 10 speak there.
He then delivered his first speech in
what he termed the heart OF the ma
ton. He told the audience he was
glad to get back TO his own country,
although he had enjoyed the lions in
Africa more than they had enjoyed
him.
Talks Anti Race Suicide.
Expressing interest in the children

1t could not be well to depend on i'm

cheering he protested against the ac-

colonel will make addresses.
Against Bossism.
Carroll, Iowa, Aug. 26.-Theodore
Roosevelt definitely aligned himself
with the progressives Of New York
state in a statement which he issued on
the train today as he was travelling
across Iowa. Colonel Roosevelt de-
clared that the main issue in the fight
I'm New York was not any specific re-
form measure, but bossism.
Bossisn, he declared, frequently led
to corruption and he said he would
wage a ruthless war on corrupt al
liances between business and bosses
Colonel Roosevelt was asked about the
remarks by Timothy L. woodruff. the
New York republican state chairman
in regard to factionalism i'm New
York. In repiy he issued this state
ment: "The progressives are emphati-
call" in favor of taking a real step
forward about direct primaries sub
stantially on the lines of Governor
Hughes proposition, but this is not the
main issue.
1.-THE main issue is that we stand
against bossism, big or little, and In
favor of genuine popular rule not only
at elections, but within the party or
ganization, and above all, that our war
is ruthlessly against every species Of
corruption, big and little, and against
an alliance between corrupt business
and corrupt politics, as to which ft has
been found that too often in the past
the boss system has offered a pecu-
liarly efficient and Objectionable means
of communication.
"We are against the domination OF
the party and the public by special
interests, whether these special inter-
ests are politics, business or q COM
pound Of the two"
