MT. CLARE, May 2.-Ten drivers
at the mine of the Marshall Coal
Company came out on a strike Mon
day morning for an increase in
wages. The men waited on Super
intendent L. w. Williams, but he de-
clined to grant their request and
promptly issued an order for their
dismissal from the services of the
company. Save verbal agreement
there is no organization among the
men and 1t is not expected that a
strike among other en-
ployes of the mine will follow,
The strikers claimed that their
wages had been below those paid by
other operators in the region, and
as this was the only mine that
worked steadily all winter, they
thought they were entitled to share
in the prosperity which the company
has enjoyed. There were no demon
STATIONS and no trouble is likely to-
occur.

HANNA FOR GOVERNOR
FEELING PUBLIC PULSE

Pioneer &C. L. Zieglcr private secre-
tary for Congressman L. B. Hanna. was
in Mandan early in the week. 1t is
said that Mr.. Ziegler is on scouting
expedition for Mr.. Hanna, feeling the
public pulse as to the possible candi-
dacy of the Fargo gentleman for the gov-
ernorship. It is said that a public an
nouncement will be forthcoming regard
ing his candidacy for the Office within
a few days. should the temper of the
public indicate his candidacy will be
received with favor.
Congressman Hanna has always had
plenty of warm friends west of the
river: but this matter of the gov ernor-
ship is interviewer with many other
things, and the division of the state
into congressional districts has a very
important bearing on this and other
Offices. Lieutenant Gov. Burdick of
Williston, who has announced himself
as candidate for governor, is in the
same congressional district with Man.
dan and the West Slope country. Minot
with two or three avowed candidates
for congress is also in the third dis
trict, and there is little question if the
north end of this district intends to cor
ner all the desirable Offices that the
West Slope country will feel free tc
give its support to Hanna rather thar
to Burdick. There are plenty of friends
of both Burdick and Hanna west of the
river, but there is bound to be quite 6
little geography injected to the coming
campaign. and the West Slope intends
! to be on the map.

North Dakota Farmers Generally Pleased Defeat libe

rather than natural causes made por-
tion of the &c jump The price of -four
at the Russell-Miller Milling Co. plant
in Dickinson went up SOC per cwt.
While wheat prices were soaring in the
West, the Wall street stock market made
a heavy decline, the Great Northern road
being the hardest hit.
The railroads had confidently expected
that the reciprocity pact would carry and
were making great preparations on in
creasing their carrying facilities for the
increased Canadian trade expected. The
Northern Pacific had just secured a SO
year lease over its old line built some
twenty odd years ago to Winnipeg and
sold few years ago. Other railroads
were also active in this direction.
AS a whole the farmers of North
Dakota are pleased over the defeat of re.
ciprocity. What effect the rejection Of

The Dickinson press., 1911-09-30

The Canadian election on September
II. was surprise to the entire World.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. the liberal premier,
and acknowledged builder of Canada 8
industry, was overwhelmingly defeated
by Robert L. Borden. conservative
leader. Along with the Liberal defeat
came the utter rejection of the recipro-
city pact with the United States.
AS result Of the rejection of recipro-
city there were wild scenes in the wheat
pits in Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago.
The advance in the Flour City was &c to
7c, while in Duluth the extreme of &c
advance was reached. Flax, oats and
barley also registered material advances.
In Dickinson wheat was up &c, or 86c
per bushel on Saturday. Flax jumped up
to $2.13 per bushel in sympathy with
wheat. but dropped this week and was
quoted at S2.05 on Tuesday. Wheat also
declined Sc in price, and the general
opinion seems to be that speculation

BANCROFT GETS SENTENCE
OLD CASES CLEANED UP

Leroy H. Bancroft, convicted of
statutory crime last week. was given
an indeterminate sentence on Thursday
of from to 10 years in the state
peniten:iary. He was taken to Bis
marck Friday morning for safe keeping,
pending 10-days' stay of proceedings.
This kind of sentence means that Ban
croft can be out on parole after five years.
About the first court case called this
week was the city bond case against
the Northern Trust Co. of Fargo. City
Attorney H. A. Bureeson was assisted
by Attorney T. F. Murtha, while Attor-
ney Tennison appeared for the bond
company.
The city claims nearly So. 900 indem-
nifty. but the bond company does not ad-
nit liability of but ST. 400 in this
case, claiming that the difference. ST. 200
to 81, 500 belongs to the First National
bank, inasmuch as j. S. White placed
this amount in the form of a county
warrant to the credit of the city to
cover a certain shortage 1t was later
discovered that the warrant was not good
and the bank charged the same back to
the city. ]. S. White came up from Bis
marck to testify for the city in the case.
Briefs are to be submitted to Judge
Crawford and it will likely be some
weeks before a decision is reached.
The Kittie Roberts action to abate a
public nuisance proved to be a default
case. A former attorney for defendant
was in Beach and another attorney of
record in the case, stated to the court
that he did not care to have any thing
more to do with the suit.
Attorney Heffron had a good many
bottles of evidence, and in due
course of time the house just east of the
city will be placed in the hands of the
sheriff for one year. 1t will be his duty
to see that the doors and windows are
kept securely fastened at all times. and
he will get pay out of the property, for
his trouble.
The Phillip Frank case was dismissed.
A number of court cases are set fol
October, some as far along as the nth,
when il is expected that judge Nuchols
of Mandan can preside.
