Elliott For Congress.

Col. James C. Elliott of West Point the republican
candidate for congress in this district is who has
lived in the district for nearly twenty-five years. He
came here wheL he had just passed his mao rity and
so all the of his manhood have been passed in the
upbuiding of the district which he seeks to
present in congress of the United States.
He has, during this time made good in his UNDER
takings has become well known throughout the district
and the state because of his ability writer lawyer
and public speaker Moreover he has another quality
which is essential in good law maker than any of
these desirable though they may be- and that is that
is possessed of that integrity of purpose without which
has right to ask for the confidence of his fell
low-men.
As to where he stands on the questions which no
confront the American people, will let him tell that in
his own words, published in his newspaper of last
week.
ION the principle of protection where prtec-
ton, is absolutely needed, he is a stand patter
of the most royal brand, yielding no one in
admiration for a system that in forty years of
commercial and industrial life has enabled this
country to reach a development not attained else
where In four hundred years. AS to Million
airemaking Infant industries, - he has often
insisted through these columns that the time
had long since arrived to remove their ''Brech-
Clout and Pin and send their wet nurse back
to the jungles. On this question he is ready
to unite, if elected, with any party, preferably
his-own, to wipe out an existing inqaity; and
on this question: should it be necessary, he
would be an insurgent-signed, sealed and de-
vered.
The republican nominee would not if elected
feel called upon to insurge against men who
have made an honest dollar. On that PROPOSE
ton he is pronounced standpatter but,

The republican state committee IS
pleased with the many expressions Of
good will and support coming from the
rank and file Of the party from all
over the state. Republicans realize
that to be lax in their efforts this fall
means considerable of a sacrifice next
year, when there is a president to be
elected and Nebraska should be
counted in the republican column. It
Is gratifying to the committee to find
that the great majority of republicans
have a sincere desire to get together
and stay together. This feeling pre-

Republican principles are just as
true today as they ever have been.
Men may differ somewhat in their

Duluth. = Peter Vorbanich, set

miles south of Biwabik, played the

he is now in a hospital at Virginia
dangerously wounded. He was shot
through the hand by deputy sheriff
George King, and in the right side by
deputy sheriff Frank Magic. Vorban-
Ich's 15-year-old son is being sought.
The deputy sheriffs displayed much
pluck in descending on the family
after the latter had displayed so much
determination to fight to the end. II

have been killed. Vorbanich demand

the privilege of running logs through
the Mudhen river on his land, which
the company refused, and for four
days he held the drivers at bay.
Deputy Sheriffs George King and
Frank Magic arriving in sight of the
clearing, found Mr.. and Mrs. Vorbanich
at some distance from the house and
their 15-year-old son was near the

deputies proceeded to arrest both man
and woman. Vorbanich then picked

had gone for the gun, but turned back
again when looking over his shoulder,
he saw that Magic was going to have
his troubles with the man and wife.
King fired at the feet of Vorbanich as
rocks and pitch fork, but the man did
not hesitate. He came right along
and then King shot him in the hand.
Still the settler, enraged by his hurt,
came forward to give battle, when
Magic shot him in the side and he
fell to the ground. By this time the
boy appeared, running toward the
group with his rifle. The deputies put
on bold front to the boy and ordered
him to drop the rifle. The lad was
anxious to help his parents, but after
raising the gun two or three times
his nerve failed him and he turned
and ran and could not be found later.
The deputies made a stretcher and
carried the wounded man three miles
to their auto and delivered the man
to the hospital. Mrs. VOrbanich was
left on the homestead.

the land fraud cases. He explained
the general allotment law and the

mixed bloods are allowed to sell their
lands, this being the law under which
so many alleged full bloods were in
duced to part with their holdings for
a trlfilng part of their value. He also
explained the criminal statute under
which indictments are to be returned
in case they are found.
This statute provides that if any
two or more persons conspire to com
NIT fraud against the United States
government, and do any act either
direct or indirect in furtherance of
such conspiracy, such persons shall be
deemed guilty of felony and shall
be liable to Imprisonment for period

Charges Further Explained.

He explained further that conspiracy
to defraud is not limited to unlawfully
appropriating government money or
property, but any action tending to
pervert the operations of government
constitutes such fraud.
In cases that are about to be con-
sidered, it is claimed that certain par
ties induced government officials to
issue patents to certain lands by rep
resenting that certain full-blooded In
dians were of mixed blood, and that
they thereby, defrauded the govern
ment. While there were some indi-
vidual purchasers, it is claimed that
the bulk of the land on the reserva-
tions were transferred to parties rep
resenting these separate groups, or
gangs of men and as over 1000 fine
farms were transferred, it is suspected
that they profited very heavily.
1t is intimated by those who are in
a position to know, that much of the
agitation that is being carried on for
new Indian rolls and against manage
ment of the men now in charge of
reservation affairs, can be traced back
to some of those interested parties.
Judge Amidsons charge was strong
one, and he urged the jury to do its
duty, regardless of the standing of the
men who may be affected. John P.
Holt of st. Paul is foreman of the
grand jury.
