SETTLER TROUNCES
CARELESS HUNTER
NimrOd Fires Sixteen Shots at
Him Without Effect.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 19.-Running
away from man who mistook him for
deer, and keeping out of range until
the pursuer's rife was emptied, and
then getting his satisfaction by giving
the nearsighted nimrod a trouncing
was the experience of Nathan Good, q
claimholder living about eighteen
miles from this city.
Good had been out rounding up some
of his stock and, not being mounted,
was late in getting home. As he went
over a small hill his canvas coat and
dark trousers against the dead grass
color of the surrounding territory
made the hunter think Good was a
deer, for which he had been looking
all day. He opened fire. Good lodged
and started to run and still the hunter
kept firing and pursued. He dis
charged his rifle sixteen times, but be
ing a poor marksman did no damage.
Good says he kept track of the times
the man had shot and when the six
teenth bullet struck the ground near
him he started in for his share of the
fun. He charged upon the hunter, who
was too surprised to attempt to make
an escape. Good did not wait for ex-
planation, but started in to fight. He
pounded the man on the head with his
fists, and, according to his own story.
kicked him several times. and wound
up by taking the rifle and hammering
the frozen ground until the firearm
had been put out of commission

cred. Delayed tonnage on rail and
mill contracts is being cleared up and

London. Nov 19.-The militant suf-
fragettes reopened hostilities against
the government anu, marching i,99e
strong on the parliament buildings,
gave the police a lively fight. The
women, many of whom were placed
under arrest were led by Mrs. En-
incline Pankhurst
The suifragettes had determined if
possible to force the police Gordon
about the house of commons and,
reaching Premier Asquith, to insist
upon the introduction of a woman suf
frage bill. The police, however, were
too strongly entrenched and the wo-
men, who tried every means in their
power to force the line, were thrown
back
Repeatedly they retired breathless
and disheveleG only to have their
places on the fighting line taken by
reserves.
The police were ordered to make as
few arrests as possible, but by 3
u
men were in police cells. A large
contingent of American bluejackets
from the visiting fleet were amused
spectators of the struggle and, Justify
cheering the combatants, melted them
to fresh efforts.
The fight continued and the police
were compelled to make wholesale ar
rests. At o'clock eighty-two of the
suffra@ettes and their supporters had
been taken into custody.

ment to pass the essential features of
the budget, namely, the income tax.
tea duty and sinking fund provisions;
remove the pauper disqualification for
old age pensions and dissolve parlia-
ment on Nov. 2S, should the lords in
the meantime reject the veto bill.
Presenting this programme in the
house of commons Premier Asquith
said that he had hoped up to the last
moment the veto conference would
reach settlement There never had
beon more honest era sustained at

ing convictions to find a basis OF
agreement upon which to build a

durance,. he said In view OF the fall
ure Of the conference, Mr.. Asquith
said, 1t would be useless to attempt to
hammer out an agreement in the pres
ent parliament to the accompaniment
of the din of party collision.
"The result Is that we revert to a
state of war;" declared the premier
who continued:
"The lords will be given an oppor'
tunity of saying yes or mo- tc the

THE V|RGINIAN" IS JAILED
Took an 0vercoat and the Owner Put
in Objection

The Nirginiann now languishes
in the Beltrami county Jail.
His downfall came when he stole
an overcoat at Blackjack.
OF course he is not the Virginian
of novel fame. His name is Ted Lee.
Ted was chilled by the blasts of
Minnesota and as he had never need.
ed an overcoat in Virginia he had
none with which to warm his shak-
ing body. Likewise. Ted was shy
on waupun,,' but he had plenty of
nerve so when he found a coat tina
fit him, although it belonged to Os.
car Stackhill, he put it on and wore
it.
Oscar objected and in the warrant
said that the coat was worth $40.
E. L. Oberg imposed a fine of $50 or
thirty days in the county Jail. The
Virginian could not pay the fine and
that is why he is in Jail here.
