POE ON PAROLE
SAYS CONSPIRACY
Former Auditor of Williston
Tells ~Story-Exposure
May Be Due

Williston, N. D., Dec. 13.-w. T.
Q formerly city auditor of Williston,
who was arrested for Irregularities in
mis- official work, and who has served
about three years of Il ten-year SEN
tence to the penitentiary, appeared be-
fore the state board Of pardons at
bismarck last week and made a state.
ment of facts which, 1t is said, will
clear up the mystery surrounding the
case. incidentally he mentioned the
names of several prominent men here
as being connected with the affair.
While little credence has been given
his alleged story Of a conspiracy, still
the fact that he was granted what was
said to be a Conditional" pardon and
came to Williston, has stirred much
interest. While nothing has been Civ
en- out by the authorities regarding the
matter. 1t is the general s%upposition
that he is here to make good his as
sertiDns.
Poe. after serving several months as
city auditor, was arrested, and, after
a futile attempt to escape into the bad
lands pleaded guilty and was sen.
fenced on four counts for irregulari-
ties in office. including the peculation
of a large amount Of city funds, and
was sentenced to ten years in prison.
There were several features of the af-
fair that were v cleared up to the
satisfaction of the public, but which
give promise of coming out now.

ers times during the fax growing sea-

damaged the crop Of fax on about
twenty acres.
Witnesses testified that cattle bear
ing rs n "pitchfork" brands were
driven out of Conklin's fax field at
various times Inc the testimony also
showed that the defendants were own.
ers OF the cattle bearing these brands.
Witnesses estimated that the Yield OF
flax, II not injured by the cattle, would
have been from two to five bushels

and carefully considering the evidence.
Justice Sholl awarded the plaintiff a
judgment of $50 and charged tho

$40 to the defendants. Only two OF
the defendants, Ross and c. b. Sans,
were present. They had no attorney.
Otto Thress of New England acted az

BELIEVES BILL
WILL Be PASSED
Hanley Sees Good Prospects
For Salaried National
Guard

Bismarck, n. D.. Dec. 13.-Among
the recent prominent visitors in the
capital city vas Captain j. NJ. Han
ley OF Mandan. Captain Hanley was
speaker Of the house during the last
legislative session. and has announc-
ed himself as u candidate for lieu
tenant governor at the coming pri-
maries. Captain Hanley is the COM
handing officer of Company F Of the
North Dakota National Guard, and is
deeply interested in the passage of
the federal pay bill at the present
congressional session. In an inter-
view. Captain Hanley said:
Il have every reason in the world
to believe that the pay bill will go
through at this session Of congress.
1t would have passed by the last con-
gress II 1t had come to a vote. 1t
was lost because of the fact that it
action was taken because Of lack of
time.
All of the members of the North
Dakota congressional delegation are
IN favor Of the measure and are work
ing hard for its success. While I
was asst Il short time 6 / had a long
talk with Representative Victor Muir
dock OF Kansas and he is also deeply
interested in the welfare Of the bill.
me oIlcerS OF n National Guard
OF this state are all working hard for
the pay bill. Col. Frame has sent out
petitions to each town where there is
a militia company, and in addition
the officers and enlisted men alike
are sending personal letters to their
congressman.
The bill is certainly going to pass.
The war department is back of 1t, and
undoubtedly the members Of the mil
tia OF the nation will be placed on
quarter pay within the next year."

BIG IRRIGATION
PROJECT STARTED
Shields in Morton County
Working For Better Wa
{ tering Facilities

Bismarck. n. D., Dec. 13.-State
Engineer Atkinson has returned from
southern Morton county where he a
been making rye for an irrigation
project for the Shields Land company
on the Cannonball river near the town
thusiastic over the project and feels
sure that it will be developed the
coming summer. The project COM
prises approximately 800 acres. The
land surrounds the townsite Of Shields.
which is located on the range line
where the four sections corner. Shields
townsite. being located on the north
of the finest townsites in h state,
the land gently sloping away toward
the Cannonball river with very fine
soil and smooth, making 1t a very
easy project on which to apply the
water.
from Shields creek, about a mile and
a half west Of the townsite. where an
earth dam twenty feet high and about
400 feet long will be constructed,
which will store sufficient water to
irrigate the entire project. With a
small amount Of work there is a natur-
al drainage from Shields creek to the
center OF section 25. where an auxil-
larry reservoir will be constructed for
the better control Of the water sup
ply.
Major w. R. Belden, manager Of the
Shields Land company. feels certain
that with the use Of this irrigation
water he will be able to raise Ave tons
Of alfalfa per acre each year, and with
the grazing country on the Standing
Rock Indian reservation tributary to
Shields. he will be able to feed and
fatten q large number Of stock each
winter.
As soon as the project Is completed
it is expected that a creamery will be
built here. and that the raising of
hogs on a largo scale will also be
undertaken
With the development of this pro.
5ect the state engineer feels that not
only will it be a great benefit to the
surrounding community and the town
OF Shields, but it will be an example
for others along the Cannonball river
to follow, and he further states that
all this Morton county country there
are numerous projects. which, II de-
veloped. would add great wealth to
North Dakota.

BUILDING FOR
STATE EXHIBIT
Fargo Would Maintain Show
in That City Permanently
Deal Under Way

Fargo. N. D." Dec. Isl. A. Jacob
son of h Real Estate Dealers asso-
citation reported at the Commercial
club meeting last night hat his asso-
citation was greatly in favor of having
Il permanent exhibit in Fargo, locat-
ed somewhere e the station on the
Northern Pacific right Of way, where
Il building could be erected and MAIN
tanned by the city so that people pass
ing through could have an opportunity
of seeing the produces Of the entire
state. He said hat was hoped that
this building would be about fifty feet
long and as wide as the company
would stand for and that booths would
he placed therein for every county of
the state.
Want Clubs Endorsement
He stated that it was hoped the
Commercial club would take the ini-
tiative in the matter by taking up the
question with the N. P. railroad to
see If it was possible to give or rent
to the city the eastern part of the N.
r. park. He believed that thi sevhi-
hibit would attract a great deal Of at
tention from people passing through
the city on their way east and west
and In that way North Dakota would
get some exceedingly good advertising
he called on Colonel Page to make
"h ASSoA " k43O
subject under discussion.
Colonel Pages Idea
Mr.. Page stated that the size of
the building would depend entirely on
what the Northern Pacific thought 1t
would be able to give in the way of
Ian and he was more in favor of a
long and shallow building than any
other kind, because the people could
see much better in such a building
rather than in a larger He stated
that every train of the N. p. stopped
here and all passenger trains changed
crews and that it was Il big thing to
have so many people each day spend
from five to ten minutes in looking
at such a show as could be made in
such a building. After Mr.. Page
had concluded, Secretary Stein was di-
rected to take up the matter as a club
proposition and see what the railroad
company would do.
Smith Stilnnel and the East
Hon. Smith Stimmel on being called
on spoke of a visit he had to the
east and particularly Of his visit to
Ohio. He said that he had talked to
many small farmers and hat they
wanted to come to North Dakota, but
that they We're afraid to, because
some had been lured to Kansas where
they had secured inferior land and had
lost all. He thought there should be
some means of getting these people
here to see what we have. They will
not see our products in the large
cities. they can only see what We have
by coming here and he believed that
II some means were made by which
their actual expenses could be insured
it would greatly benefit the people.
He said that people in one section
talking Of moving in an entire
body west and it would more than
here.

LIVELY SESSION
Of GUARD CERTAIN
Annual Meeting Will Take
Place in Jamestown Next
February

jamestown. N. D.. Dec. 1s-The an
nual meeting of the North Dakota
National Guard association will be
held in Jamestown. The date has
not yet been definitely decided. but it
is thought hat it will be held either
on February p. The latter date is
more favorably talked Of, in view Of
the fact that the annual military ball
Of Company G of Valley City occurs
February % (Washington's birthday
and by holding the convention at this
time, the delegates could go on to
Valley City and attend this big mill
tary function there.
There r many topics of interest
coming up for discussion at this meet
ing. Prominent among them is the
subject Of picking members for the
state rifle team. The past year q
handicap of twenty per cent was i'm
posed upon all members of former
teams who were competing. Many
Of the leading rif1emen of the state
are determined to carry the handicap
proposition to the floor Of the asso-
citation and fight it out there.
The national rifle match is suppos-
ed to be participated in by the crack
shots Of each state. 1t is a COMPETE
ton pure and simple, and every state
is represented, or Is supposed to be,
by the best rifemen in the various
states. The imposition of handicaps
upon old men bars some Of the better
shots, and as a result North Dakota
is not so we'll represented as it might
be. In addition to this. many Of the
ADLER rifiemen refuse to compete for
the team under these conditions.
With all the advertising that is being
done to bring the name of North Da-
kota to the front, it is thought by
most Of the riflemen that the state
should 60 after the highest possible
honors in the national rife matches,
instead Of sending down a secondary
team which is sure to result If the
handicap system is followed out. The
matter will be threshed out in detail
by the guardsmen at their annual
gathering.
There have been several candidates
for the presidency Of the association,
but the most prominence thus far has
been given to Lieutenant L. r. Baird
Of Company K Of Dickinson. 1t is
not improbable that the election Of
officers this year will be based large
~ upon their attitude regarding the
handicap question.

APLEY CASE AGAIN
win be Tried at jamestown Be6or,
Judge CO6ey.

Jamestown, N. D., Dec. 13.-The
ease Of the state vs. Apley from Logan
county will be tried at the December
term Of the district court, converting
at jamestown yesterday. and will
probably be the first on the calendar.
The case was tried at the last
term Of court in Logan county, and
after a hard fought battle wherein
States Attorney McKenna appeared
for the prosecution and the defense
was represented by Judge Lauder Of
Wahpeton, the jury were unable to
arrive at an agreement, M the case
was transferred to Stutsman county.
Attorney Geo. w. Thorp Of James,
town has been engaged by Logan
county to assist the states attorney
and will appear in the prosecution
when the case is brought on trial
here today. MI. McKenna arrived in
the city from Napoleon Sunday morn
ing with h prosecuting witnesses and
other witnesses for the state, and
spent the day in consultation with At
torney Thorp.
The alleged crime was committed
In q lonely homesteader's shanty in
Logan county, when the family Of
defendant were absent. and he was
alone with his daughter, whom he had
recently brought from Portland, Ore,
where she has been living for several
years past The trial of the case will
probably consume several days time.

GAINS IN
LEGAL BATTLE
Secured Writ of Habeas Cor
pus, Defeating Extradi-
ton Officials

Minot, N. D.. Dec. 13.-After a Bit
ter legal battle owe two hours. Judge
Leighton granted the application Of
the attorney for Gust McLaren, for a
writ of habeas corpus, which prevents
his extradition from this state to Bur-
ilngton, Iowa, for the alleged shoot
Ing Of Officer Countryman at that
place in September, 1909. The case
has attracted considerable attention
as 1t is seldom that extradition pro-
ceedings are resisted as stubbornly in
this instance and more seldom that
they result in favor of the defendant.
The defense introduced several wit
nesses who testified that McLaren
was In and around Drake during the
summer and fall of 1909. A. c. Met
calf, justice Of the peace at Drake
testified that he first saw McLaren
about September 1 and saw him off
and on during the month. He pur-
chased goods from him and when
asked by Metcalf what he was doing,
McLaren informed him that he was
threshing near Skogmo. He was pos-
tive that it was 1909, as it was the
same year in which he went out of
business.
Chas: Koehler was then called and
testified that he was a policeman at
Drake during 1909 and hat about
August is he ordered him out of the
city. He said he returned about Sep
TENDER l however, and as he was
orderly he said nothing further to
MIN except to find out what he was
doing McLaren told Koehler that he
was threshing near Skogmo and later
koehler testified, he saw the defend
mi near Skogmo with a threshine
crew. He was positive it was 1908.
as 1t was the same year In which he
mad purchased an automobile. He al.
so recalled another event in which
two prisoners made their get away
from him, which he testified occurred
in 1909 the same year as thai in
which he saw McLaren.
Geo. A. Olson testified that he ran
a restaurant in Drake that year and
that McLaren had been in there fire.
quently. He remembered it was 1909
because that was the year in which
he went out of business.
John Doctor was also called and
testified that he had worked with
McLaren on a threshing rig during
the month Of September near Skog-
mo. Letters from Gustav Giese Of
Lincoln and from Attorney H. Van
Lredenburg of Drake were also in
troduced.
States Attorney Nash introduced
witnesses from Anamoose who testt-
fled hat McLaren was in Anamoose
IN 1910, just a year later.

WILL BUILD GARAGE.

Devils Lake, N. D.. Dec. 13.-Work
on the La Rue garage, the basement
of which was laid last summer has
been resumed by the Gram Construc-
ton company, and it is expected that
the structure will be rushed to COM
pletion in a very comparatively short
time. leaving it in readiness for the
spring automobile business.
The structure is 50x140 feet, with
a basement under the rear, which is
already being fitted up for a repair
shop. The entire first floor and base
ment will be used by the La Rue
brothers in their automobile business.
A deal is now on foot for the Sons
Of Norway to contract to lease the
second floor for a lodge room and
general assembly hall. The second
floor of this structure would furnish
by far the largest hall in the city.
1t is more than likely that such a deal
will be closed.

STOCK TRADING
S.. FLAT7ENED OUT
Quick Rise Was Followed bv
a Persistent Period of
Depression

New York, Dec. 13-Trading in
stocks flattened out today in a way
which disappointed bulls who had hop.
ed that the market would become
broader and more active after yes
terday's upturn. The market was en-
iivened at opening by a vigorous buy
ing movement which elevated prices
generally. But it was only a flash in
the pan. Within a few minutes the
life died out of the trading and prices
began to fall back slowly toward yes
terday's closing level. At the end Of
the day net changes in most cases con-
sisted Of gains Of small fractions. The
largest advances were made by in
dustrials such as American Locomo-
tive and General Electric.
A noticeable feature of the market
was that it seemed to have q strong
undertone throughout in spite of the
fact that the demand for stocks had
fallen off abruptly. Yesterdays series
of events favorable to the bull side at
tracted ONE outside business over
night and 1t presumably was these
buying orders which stimulated the
market at the outset. When these Or
ders were filled trading tapered down
to a slender point.
News Of the kind which influences

some extent anticipated IL: price move-
ments.
Another advance in the price of cop
per metal was reported some sales
having been made at 10 3-4 cents. Cop
per prices continued to rise in Lon
don. The copper stocks were less ac-
tive, with American Smelling the best
gamer.
The money market today again
showed the effect of. the more favor
able position of the banks. Both
time and call funds were easier and
the demands for time money was con-
siderably smaller. Call funds loaned
as low as 2 IL per cent. The easier
condition lessened the fears Of a tight
market at the end of the year. For
eign exchange rates rose about Is
points today. Tho increased demand
ton with the London settlement.
Canadian Pacific, after q quick ad.
vance at the opening of nearly two
points, lost most Of its gain. The
rise was due to yesterdays announce.

The news was largely discounted,
however, the stock having made a lar

Land ONCE at Bismarck Has Made
Good in Month.
Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 13.-While
the volume Of business transacted at
the United States land office in this
city for the month of November was
probably not as large as it has been
some months. Register Stevens and
Receiver Staley, as we'll as the clerks
attached to the office. feel hat the re-
port for that month makes a good
showing at that. During the month
of November there were 273 final and
Communication proofs. twenty home
stead entries and three sales of iso-
lated tracts; there were seven relin-
quishments and two protests of
proofs. There are 81 government and
as private contest cases pending.
Two thousand three hundred and six
ty letters were answered during the
month. and the total amount Of re-
ceipts for November amount to $780,
398.53. While this was not as large
an amount Of monthly business for
the Bismarck Office it is q great deal
larger than many Of the land Offices
in this part of the United States.

TO MAINTAIN FARM
City, State and Federal Forces Unitet
in HELPING Earmers

Hettinger, N. D., Dee 13-The Het-
finger Commercial club has decided
to launch an active campaign for the
maintenance of a state experimental
station near this city. The last legis-
lature failed to make an appropriation
for the farm and as a result the Het-
finger business men, the state agricul-
tural college board and the federal
government have Joined forces in pro-
viding funds for the coming year. The
bureau Of agriculture will pay the sal
airy of the farm superintendent in
1912 and in 1913 the state legislature
VIII be asked to make an appropria-
ton to cover future operations. The
farm is doing valuable service for this
section Of the state.
