senate, and executive positions as
commissioner of the general land Of
flee; chairman of the republican ma
tional committee in the second and un-
successful campaign of Benjamin Har-
rison for the presidency, president of
the board of United States commission

chairman Of the newly created "inter-
national joint commission, American
section" especially charged with
Canadian boundary matters.
An Ohioan by birth, an Iowan by
adoption, and Montanan long before
that territory was admitted to state
hood, Mr.. Carter jumped to the front
almost from the outset of his work in
congress. Perhaps the most remark
able of all his forensic achievements
was his defeat of big river and har-
Dor appropriation bill which he re-
garded as a political grab" measure,
during the Mckinley administration.
President Mckinley did not favor
the bill and Mr.. Carter, a strong ad-
ministration supporter, began a speech
against it at 10:30 o'clock at night and
talked continuously until noon of the
day following when the session OF con-
gress expired.
AS lieutenant of Senator Aldrich
the Republican leader of the senate for
many years, he did notable work. AT
one time Mr.. Carter was mentioned as
possible successor of Associate JUS
tice Moody of the supreme court OF
the United States, and it was said
President Taft had considered him fol-
secretary of the interior to succeed Ri
chard A. Ballinger.
Among the managers suggested al
a possible head of the republican ma

1912 Senator Carter's name had beel
mentioned. His defeat by a democra
for reelection to the senate caused Mr
Carter's retirement from that body OF

named him member of the interna
t1onal commission. He framed an,
fought for conservation legislation, or
posed extravaganza in irrigation pre-
jects and campaigned for the Taft Ca

'KIDNAPER TAKEN
AFTER LONG. HUNT

Ed. Davis, the fieud that kidnapped
pretty little school teacher, Miss Ele-
amor Gladys Price and kept her cap
tive for thirty hours near her school
house in Cavalier county, was captur-
ed just across the border near Nor
den, Manitoba on Monday, just week
after his terrible deed. He was taken
to the Langdon Jail where his victim
readily identified him as her assault
ter. According to criminal lawyers
in Manitoba his being captured in the
Province Of Canada under the charge
Of abduction and criminal assault is
punishable by death under the Cana
dian statutes. The crime is one that
aroused the entire northern part of th.
state as 1t never was aroused before.
Immediately the crime being made
known, posses of armed men from both
Canada and the United States started
in pursuit Of the criminal and finally
surrounded him. The victim was q
young school teacher who had charge
|of lonely country school in Cavalier
county. He came to her school after
the children had left and at the point
Of a gun compelled her to follow him
into the hills. where he kept her cap
tive for over thirty hours. When she
was missed friends and neighbors
started Immediately to search for her,
she heard her sweetheart whistle so
close that an answer. would have found
her but her captor threatened to shoot
if she made a noise. He finally let her
go when he came to the conclusion
posses 81 men were on his track. Since
his capture, Davis, whose alias was
Bill Miner, has confessed to crimes
innumerable from horse shieving to.

tract for such printing ehall be let,

You are doubtless aware of the fact
that since last May the city council of
Devils Lake has neglected to appoint
an official paper as directed by the
above city ordinances. AS result of
such negligence, when q paper pub
fishes legal notices for this city, the
publishers never know what to expect
as compensation. And on the other
hand the city runs the risk of having
important notices attacked on the ques.
tion of. legality which such situation
continues.
+ Recently the Inter-Ocean published
the sewer assessment notice, and in
the discussion arising over these motto
es the mayor and city attorney held
that our contract had expired and was
no longer in effect. If this is true, il
is equally true that the Inter-Ocean is
not the official paper OF the city of Dew
lis Lake and has not been since April
list, last.
f The ordinances and notices herewith
returned, are too much Importance tx
the city Of Devils Lake to allow any
possible question to arise In the future
as to the legality OF the publication.
In case the council will move as di
rected by law, we shall be pleased t.
submit bids and will appreciate an,
business we may obtain therefrom. W
believe this will be more business lik
and in the end more economical for tn
city. !.

HoMEsEEkERs COMING INTO THE
STATE.

STATE.
Grand Forks, Sept. 22.-For the first
time in a number OF years the rail
ways are giving homeseekers rates in
to eastern and western North Dakota.
On the first and third Tuesdays in
each month these rates are effective.
On Tuesday August 18th, the three rail-
ways into North Dakota brought ten
car loads out of the Twin Cities. The
first Tuesday in September saw over
two thousand homeseekers come into
the Northwest over these three lines.

The main fight against the report was
the fact that it failed to go into detail
sufficiently to give good light on the
situation in Devils Lake. > Alderman

manded more information before they
cared to go on record favoring such an
action on the. part of the council.
:. Chairman Ohnstad gave figures at
$4,000 for a plant that he considered
would be adequate for Devils Lake.
oO.2 s. Sheldon was present at the
meeting and declared the figures
given by the Engineer, Mr.. Sykes, un-
fair and that they were based on a
maximum load all the time with no
emergency machinery when in reality
in Devils Lake the load varies from a
very low one to a very high one with
expense running just the same.
Some minor matters were acted up
on by the city council before they ad-
journed. The appropriation ordinance
was given its final reading and passed
with the following items:

TRAVELLING BAGS
AND SUIT-CASES
Early Morning Job OF Burglary
Follows the Circus.

When w H. Kaump opened up his
store last Saturday morning he found
that a window in the rear had been
pried open and some goods stolen.
Three travelling bags and three suit
cases were missing. He called Marshal
Pilling, and together they followed to
Darlington the circus which had
showed in town the night before. AT
Darlington with the aid of Marshal
Moran they searched for the goods, and
Mr.. Kaump was rewarded by finding
in one of the sleeping cars of the
circus three of the travelling bags and
two suit case. One of the bags was of
alligator skin and valued at $25. One
suit case could not be found and it is
supposed to have been carried off by an
employee of the circus who was dis
charged and paid off at Mineral Point,
but followed the circus as far as
Darlington. 1t being impossible to
prove who the guilty party or parties
were Messrs. Kaump and Pilling re-
turned home with the recovered pro-
perty, without further proceeding. 1t
was prompt work, and the best they
could do under the circumstances.

Two Ball Clubs Tote Fans Around
Until They Find a Place to Play

Many old baseball stories have
been told. some true and some Of
a very shady nature, but Cliff
Rasch, Cincinnati boy who UNI.
pired in the Virginia Valley
League. tells one that comes pref
ty near taking the bonbons. It is
a tale of two ball Clubs which
were prohibited from playing in
Montgomery on a Sunday, and
whose efforts to stage their game
in several other towns failed, but
which carried crowd of about
1000 fans with them until they
finally found a place where the
battle could take place.
''Fhe Montgomery and PIT. Pleas
ant teams were scheduled to play
in Montgomery one Sunday" says
Rasch. ION the Friday preceding,
the manager of the Montgomery
team was notified that the game
would not be allowed to take
place. The fans were anxious to
see a battle, and it was decided to
