Senator Bland Presents AM
Alleged Confession

the First Ballot for the
Long Term.

w 0a4. & So sAuOlueE
sensation was sprung today in the
House by Delegate Moore, Republic
can, asking that a committee OF Ave
he appointed to Investigate charges
OF alleged bribery against William
3. Chiffon and Clarence w. Watson,
Democratic caucus nominees for
United States senators as made on
the floor Of the House yesterday by
Delegates Hubbard and Robinson.
The resolution set up rumor Of
the specific charge that Delegate
Shock, OF Braxton county, was paid
$1,000 to vote for Watson and Chill
ton, hut Shock returned the money
refusing to vote for them. The res
olutlon asked that the election OF
senators be postponed fifteen days
Dnding an investigation.
An attempt was made by the Re-
Dublicans to have the resolution
taken up Immediately to prevent
balloing for senator's but failed
and the resolution will lie over one
dag.
No agreement had been reached
between the Democrats and Repub-
licans of the Senate, when the time
arrived for the Senate to convene.
When the House reconvened for a
Joint session with the Senate follow
ing short recess, delegate strother,
Republican. offered protest
against proceeding to elect United
States senators, because OF the con-
dIt!ons arising over bribery charges
and the situation in the state Sem
ate, which the speaker ruled out OF
order.
An appeal was taken from the
ruling but by parfy vote the chair
was sustained.
The Republicans Of the Senate did
not join the Democrats Of that body
in the Joint session to elect United
States senator's.
AN allegation is made that Dele
gate Shock has made written con-
fessin Of having received bribe to
vote for Watson and Chiffon in the

Jack Tew, of Sisseton, was in Web
ster on Tuesday and during his visit
evidently became short of funds for he
made an effort to tap the till of the
cash register at Ole Stockheim's rest
aurant and succeeded in getting about
two dollars. One of the girls saw him
and Immediately reported to the pro-
prietor. The next thing was Chief of
police Martin and then Mr.. Tew was
doing business in the city Jail. Yes
terday he was taken before Police
Justice Harris where he plead guilty
and was handed a service of ten days
or twenty dollars. He was short of
money and is now boarding the sent
ence out. There is quite suspicion
that young gentleman who was with
him tried to start something to dis
tract attention so the theft could be
made and was to have been in on the
swag. No proof could be made but
former Repatriation is not good and we
would advise the young gentleman to
keep out of suspicious ways and
places

Frank Gruby Goes to BRISTOL

Last Thursday Frank Gruby, who
for so many yerrs was one of the most
members of the Webster
police force, received notice that his
application for the position of chief of
police of Bristol had been accepted by
the town board and approved and that
he would be expected to assume his
duties on the first of June.
AS long as Frank wanted the position
we are glad that he was the successful
applicant, but we very much hate to
lose him as a resident of Webster.
The people of Bristol will find him an
exceptional officer, splendid citizen
and one of the best fellows that ever
was.
Frank will be very much missed by a
large circle of friends in Webster and
especially in the lodges of which he is
member as he is one of the best
of members in all the working teams.

The Second Market Day.

The weather Monday morning looked
very threatening which probably
accounted for the small attendance at
Webster's second market and sale day.
The merchants had all put on special
sales in some lines and we heard many
of those who were here say that they
had received the best values for their
money ever given. A great variety
of things were auctioned off and all
brought much better figure than at
the first sale for those who were bid
ding knew from the first sale that
everything was on the square. If
you were not here Monday you missed
a rare opportunity. But do not be dis
couraged or espondent- Watch for the
date of the next sale. Webster is try
ing to do things this year and when
Webster tries there is no getting away
from the wide awake business men.

his getaway. At the lower end of
Main street he was told by another
Indian that the officers were after him
so he jumped from the wagon, left the
team standing and tried to make his
escape. Chief of Police Martin was on
