who some time ago appealed to the
progressives for support, will not be in
the race. Mr.. Buchanan's formal an
nouncement will be made in short
time.
This decision was reached at a con.
ference held in Grand Forks, when
Mr.. Aaker issued signed statement
in which he announced his retirement
in favor of Mr.. Buchanan, assuring the
latter of his support. MIR. Buchanan's
acceptance was given only after it was
made evident to him that the senti.
ment of the meeting was unanimous
in his favor.
No other places on the ticket were
discussed except that Mr.. Aaker
voiced his willingness to retire from
the gubernational race and become a
candidate for lieutenant governor. But
U. L. Burdick of Williston, the pres.
ent lieutenant governor, may be the
choice of the progressives for the Sec
ond place on the ticket, although Cap.
tain James Hanley of Mandan, speaker
OF the last house of representatives. is
regarded as a strong contender for
that place.
Congressman Hanna is the stalwart
republican candidate for the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Buchanan was candidate
in 1910, but failed to win the nomina,

Car.

Bismarck. - Passengers on the
westbound Northern Pacific train,
No. 3, had narrow escape from death
at Mckenzie. when a partially open
switch caused the coaches to spread
out over the tracks and to run that
way for nearly mile.
1t is thought that snow between the
rails prevented the entire closing of
the switch after a freight train had
left the siding. None of the passen.
gers were injurd, but they were
brought to Bismarck on another train
and remained here until evening. when
train was made up to take them to
their destinations.
The wrecked cars, almost buried in
sand, were left near the track at Nc
Kenzie. The engine, mail car and
front truck Of the baggage car passed
safely over the switch, but the rear
trucks Of the baggage car took the
first sidetrack, carrying several
coaches with it. Then three of the
coaches took the second siding, while
the rear sleeper kept on the main
track and ran nearly mile in this
shape.
The coupling pins pulled out, but the
chains kept the train together for some
time until the air hose broke and set
the brakes, bringing the train to
stop with the derailed car half buried
in the sand. The engineer knew moth
ing of the trouble until the air hose
broke. The cars on the sidetracks
did not keep on the rails, but ran
over the ties and gave the passengers
q general shaking up. Aside from one
elderly woman who was suffering from
rheumatism, no one complained of in
juries.

Duluth.-"The Possibilities of North

At the present there are two state

some day North Dakota is going to be

There has been some discussion
over the First Iowa Regiment, follow
ing an article which recently appear
ed quoting General Byers. The claim
has been made that the Second Iowa
was first at the front. There was
enough glory for all, but just for the
sake of keeping history straight, many
have been heard on the subject. The
latest to write is Dan Matson. we'll

his diary and who says that the First

Curtis. His interesting letter follows:
When Gen. Nathaniel Lyon and Con-
federate General Sterling Price had
held their last Interview early in June,

was to send dispatch to the con-
tolerate general, Green, who was or

From Boonville this elder brother
of the Iowa family OF regiments set
out on July 8, with the rest of the
army under General Lyon on the ad-
vance TO Springfield, Mo-, in pursuit
of General Price and Governor Calib

Now, boys, there Is talk of a cele-
bration of the golden anniversary of
the regiment at Keokuk-it's birth
place, August 10, next, and it is hoped
that the Second and Third infantry
will be present. Perhaps the good
people may be glad to celebrate with
us and make wide the circle before
the hearth in the big room, possibly
plan another picnic in the woods. You
remember that one day early in June

footsteps are feeble and theil locks

would be great pleasure to look in
upon Keokuk and meet its loyal peo-

as we sailed from the shores of be-
loved Iowa.
