last year a copy Of the North Dakota
magazine, known as the $4,000 Year

soon exhausted.
These magazines go to every section

KINDLY WORD TO SAY OF AL

Devils Lake people who knew Allan
Tompkins, formerly in charge of the
electric light plant in this city, and
who it is rumored may return and in
stall another plant, will be interested
in the following from the brilliant pen
Of Little Mae of the Flasher Hustl,r:
We see by the Bismarck Tribune of
recent date that that loyal, truc-blue,
old-time North Dakotan, Mr.. Allan
Tompkins, president of the Rugby Tele
phone Co., was at the capital city as a
witness in the Cowan trial. Allan Tom
pkins is one of the "traill-blazers' CT
northwestern North Dakota. Years
agone-away back in the eighties--when
we were running paper at Towner,
on the banks of the "Murmuring
Mouse I'm the days when there was
no railroads, preachers, politicians or
prohibition and the festive redskir held
his own-Allan Tompkins was among
the number who broke through tie will
derness to Minot-the just a-borl.i.,
and in its swaddling clothes-and with
an optimistic faith good to see, built
the Leland hotel, which today under the
Parker management ranks among TIL,
best in the state. Tn those days Minot
was tough place--in fact: it was the
"Sodom and Gomorrah of the state,
|
and is no more like Mirot Of today,
than hades is like paradise. But law
and order finally prevailed, for Allan
Tompkins was elected mayor and for
six long years he used the executive
power to the end tina: siinot could be
likened unto "the vestibule Of heaven "
which it is today also, owing to the
presence thereib Of Sam Clark, G. d.
Colcord and other 3odly newspaper
mel Mr. "cnpkins was always FRO,
gressive citizen and a man who never
overlooked any opportunity to furthe,
any enterprise calculated to benefit the
community in which he lived, and today
he ranks. by all right as a pioneer
North Dakotan, and also one of the
foremost business men of his home
town Of Rugby.

Senator from Dallas Applies Short
and Ugly Word to Anti
Leader.
[By Associated Press.l

Austin, Texas, Aug. Ex-senator Nc
Nealus of Dallas arose to a question
of personal privilege this morning in
the senate and sounded an echo of his
fight last night with Col. Jake Wolters.
He denounced the author OF certain
statements published in the morning
papers and attributed TO Wolters as
"a deliberate, willful and malicious
liar"
Austin, Texas, Aug. 23.-Col. J. F.
Wolters of Houston and State Senator
James c. McNealus of Dallas had a
first fight in the lobby OF the Driskill
Hotel shortly after 10 o'clock last
night. After they had been separated
it was found that Senator McNealuz
had large abrasion on the bridge of
the nose, directly between the eyes.
that his face was badly scratched. and
that the left leg of Colonel Wolters'
trousers was torn.
While the statements of the combat
ants do not agree as to what occurred
just before the fight began, they do
agree that the affray was directly the
result OF discussion of the testimony
which Senator McNealus gave before
the senate investigating committee, of
which he is a member, the other day.
In that testimony some reference was
made to the part which Harry Hawes
of st. Louis was supposed to have
played on the anti side in the recent
campaign in Texas 1t is admitted that
they speedily came to blows, and al
most as speedily fell to the floor fight
ing, where they remained until sepa.
rated by bystanders.
