A few minutes Of delay and
human lives would have been
sacrificed. Mr.. Valen places his
loss at about three thousand
dollars with eight hundred dol
lars insurance. Five Of the
thirteen horses were owned by
those who were patrons of the
barn. It is believed that the fire
originated from sparks of the
train which passed through
Tagus at Ills, the manure pile
back of the barn being very dry
a small cinder would soon start
the whole pile blazing, especially
in the face of a brisk breeze.

JUST ESCAPES AN
AWFUL DEATH
r. v. Carter of Portal Falls
into Elevator Pit With a
. Lighted Lantern

R. V. Carter of Portal, a
nephew of County Judge Carter,
and we'll known to all Bowbells
people, met with a peculiar and
what might have been a fatal
accident on Thursday of last
week, when he fell into an ele-
vator pit of the Carter Indepen-
dent Elevator Co.'S. elevator with
a lighted lantern in his hand.
Carter was walking along
through the building when he
accidentally stepped into the
opening and it was not until
smoke and fire was seen coming
from the pit that he was discov-
cred.
Helping hands at once dragged
him from the pit, although he
was unconscious and almost
smothered by the smoke. The
citizens turned out and before a
great while succeeded in putting
out the fire started when the
lantern broke, before it had
done much damage.
Mr.. Carter, whose fomily lives
in Canada, is now in the hospital,
and while his injuries are Of a
serious nature, his recovery is
assured.

arators and in fact the whole
line Of farm implements, and if
this is the case the sooner the
dealer asserts his Independence
the better it will be for him. If
he continues to yield to the de-
mands Of the corporations, and
reorganizations their rights to
dictate to him the kind of goods
he shall handle then he becomes
very little better than a serf or
gallery slave and must bare his
back to the lash whenever order
ed to do so and dance to what
ever music and whatever tune
they may set.
I regret very much that you
have decided to cancel this order
but under the circumstances as
you state them, | would be less
than a man if I did not accept
the cancellation; but will say
that if the International Har-
vester company were dealing
with men and l were located at
North Dakota, in
the implement business, and
they should advance either dir
ectly or indirectly any threat
such as you intimate, l would in
vite them to take their line Of
machinery and their line of
credit and remove it to a climate
which is a great deal warmer
then North Dakota. and is my
opinion that unless the imple-
ment dealer did not stand up for
his rights, the International
Harvester company will create a
condition Of affairs for him that
will make it several degrees hot
ter than the Internal regions.
I beg to thank you for the
frank expression you have given
me in your letter, and hope that
sometime you will be able to con-
duct your business without fear
of intimidation. .:
shall be very much pleased to
hear from any farmer that you
may recommend to handle pri-
son twine.
Yours very truly,
F. 0. HELLsTROM,
Warden.

THIRTEEN HORSES
ARE CREMATED
Fire Destroys Tagus Livery
Stable and Contents--Loss :.
is About $4,000

Tagus, N: D., May 9-Tagus
is again visited by the destruc-
tive element and property Of one
Of our citizens, a young man just
started in business, lies today
a pile of smoking ruins. The
Tagus Livery Barn, owned by
Thor Valen, at 11:30 Thursday
night was discovered to be in
flames. In a short time many
people gathered at the scene and
realized that all efforts towards
saving the barn would be futile.
Famed by a brisk south wind
burning embers fell thickly oyer
the homes Of A. c.. Christensen
and Fred Farley and though
these houses were on fire several
times the flames were quickly
extinguished and the houses saw
ed although at times it appeared
that they were doomed to dis
truction. The embers from the
burning barn carried for a great
distance, set fire to the piles of
dry manure in the old city dump
grounds, a quarter of a mile
away.
The ruins of the barn are a
sad sight. Among the ashes are
the remains Of thirteen horses
and the position in which they
lie give evidence Of the struggles
of the poor beasts to escape a
horrible death. Nothing could
be done ito save them,e in fact
their struggles were over before
the fire was discovered. Thor
Valen and George Farris, who
were sleeping in the barn office,
escaped through the window
clad only in their underclothing.

Bowbells Business Men Decide
to Organize at Meeting
Held Monday Evening

At meeting held Tuesday
evening at the office of the
Security Abstract Co. in this
city for the purpose of organiz-
ing a commercial club in Bow
bells, Jerry Donovan was on
motion made temporary chair
man of the meeting and C. H.
Hecht secretary. The meeting
was attended by practically
every business man in the city,
and all made known their will
ingness to join anything that
was for the betterment of the
city.
A motion was then made that
an enrolment take place, and
every person present signed up
the paper as it was passed
around. Following is a list of
the members as it stood at the
close of the meeting: R. B.
Cox, B. A. Stefonowicz, C. E.
Pierson, A. L, Doe, Geo. H.

were out of town or were unable
to attend the meeting will join
at a later date.
The president then appointed
a committee of five consisting of
F. 4. Heckel, B. M. Wohlwend,
F. F. Carter, Geo. H. Phelps and
H. L. Lyon to draft a constitu-
ton and bylaws for the club,
they to report at a meeting to be
held at the office Of the Security
Abstract Co. on Monday evening
of next week. This committee
elected Mr.. Phelps as it's chair
man, and held a meeting of it's
own Wednesday evening.
Bowbells will now have a COM

as much enthusiasm is shown at
each meeting as there was at the
meeting Tuesday evening, the
city will profit greatly by the
new organization.

.|.H.C. THREAT
. En- DEALERS
Harvester Company Charged
With intimidation of Deal
ers in Prison Twine

Grand Forks, May. 8-The farm
ers and implement dealers
throughout the state have had
their interest in the trust ques-
ton aroused considerably in the
past month by a circular letter
sent them by Warden F. 0.
Hellstrom of the state penitenti-
ary at Bismarck. The substance
of two letters is that the harvest
-er companies will not let the i'm
plement dealers handle the pri-
son twine, and if they do the
harvester company could make it
warm for them.
L. c.. Hazlett, Grand Forks
manager for the international
Harvester Company was shown
the letters yesterday afternoon
and said that the charges pre-
ferred were absolutely without
foundation and were the pro
duct of a diseased mind" The
letters in full:

Since your twine agent was

position of handling state prison

I think we'll of the twine, but
there are other things to consld-
er in the matter. You see l am
in the implement business, and
naturally could not sell any other
twine with the prison twine, and
I realize. that I am unable to
come into this business and defy
the I. H. C. in this part of the
country. A farmer can sell this
much better than / can, and l
will ask you to cancel my order
for all twine, and please return
the note signed by the firm.
I will, however, try to locate
YOU a farmer to handle the twine
in this part. I hope you can see
my position in the matter and do
sincerely hope that there is no
hard feelings in the matter.
Awaiting your reply, / am

County Superintendent C. H.
Hecht leaves on Tuesday of next
week for Bismarck there to at
tend the state spelling contest
and also a meeting of county
superintendents of the state.
He will be gone about four days.
N. O. Gauslow returned Sun
day morning from Walcott, this
state, where he went the fore
past of last week, to attend the
funeral Of his brother, mention
Of which was made in the last
issue of this paper. Mr.. Gaus-

brothers death before leaving,
and The Tribune consequently
did not have the item right.
The deceased died from an ab-

his death, and was Saturday
evening taken to st. Paul to be
treated by a specialist, and died
in the cities on Monday morning

Gentlemen
have your letter Of April 9th,
and in reply I beg to say that 4
am cancelling your order and re.
turning your note as per your
request; but I cannot refrain
from passing a few remarks.
1 do not know whether or not
you are under obligations to the
international Harvester COM
pany, but the reason you give in
your letter for cancelling your
order for a car Of tWine ordered
from Mr.. Brewster, would in
dicate a very deporable condition
Of affairs existing in the imple-
ment business of this country.
E It has really come to pass that
the international Harvester
company either through direct
or indirect threats, are terroriz-
ing the implement dealers and
the farmer to the extent that
they do not dare to purchase
binder twine from any other
source Of manufa facture than the
international Harvester COM
pany, thenit is q time indeed for
some one in authority to take
action that will curb the powers
Of this monopol If they can
dictate TO you the kind Of tWine
you shall buy then they can also.

CHANGE HYDE CASE
Murder Case May Go to An
other County.
Kansas City Doctor Fighting
Hard for Liberty.

Kansas City, Oct. 14.-The second
trial Of DR.. B. c. Hyde may not be
held in Jackson county. Lawyers who
have been watching the conduct of
the case since the preliminary opera
tions to the second trial started be-
lleVe that the trial will be transferred
to another court. The attorneys be-
lieve that Judge E. E. Porterfield will
refuse the application of the Hyde
attorneys for elisors to take charge of
the jury, and in that event, they be-
iieve that the case will be taken out
of the jurisdiction of any of the Off
GERS of this county.
If the case is transferred under a
change of venue the marshal and the
judge of the county in which it is
held will have charge of the jury
There is little chance that the attor-
neys for the defense will go to trial
here with the jury in charge of Mar
shall MayeS and his deputies. The af-
fidavits accusing one deputy marshal
of soliciting bribe and the other af-
fidavits introduced by Frank 2. Walsh
show clearly the attitude of the de-
fense toward the marshal here.
Doctor Hyde swore to various in
stances of mistreatment to which he
was subjected by the marshal. He
told of threats made against him
while he was in the county jail True,
all the affidavits of the Hyde attor-
neys and Doctor Hyde We're denied by
the state with a full quota of affida-
Wits, but that was expected. Silence
would be only the admission of guilt.
Mr.. Walsh said that he had not con-
templated asking that the case be
transferred from this county, but dis
interested attorneys who have follow
ed the case closely say that will be the
next move if the eliSors are not ap-
pointed. The appointment of elisors,
they say, would establish a precedent
in this county In every case, they
say, eliSors would be asked, because no
person who is in the custody of a
marshal has a kindly feeling toward
that official.
Virgil Conkling, prosecuting attor-
ney, and his assistants were busy yes
terday afternoon taking aff1davits of
men to the good character of Harry
Hoffman, the deputy who was accused
by Doctor Hyde of soliciting a bribe
from him. Herman Lang, secretary
and treasurer of the Missouri & Kan
sas Telephone company, was at the
criminal court building all yesterday
afternoon giving his deposition. Hoff-
man at one time worked for the Mis-
souri, & Kansas Telephone company
and Lang said that he was honest and
a good workman while he was in the
employ of his company. Aff1davits
practically the same as Mr.. Lang's
were taken from r. H. Lewis a clerk
at the Missouri & Kansas Telephone
company. and William Faust, super
intendent for the Home Telephone

COOPER MUST PAY
Court Will Fine Husband of Many
Wives for Contempt.

For not providing for his wife and
child, in accordance with the terms of
a court decree, John G.. Cooper will
Monday morning be fined for con-
tempt of court. After hearing argu-
ments in the case this morning, Judge
Whitcomb withheld punishment until
the Monday morning session.
All of Cooper's contentious fell to
the ground before the court at today's
session and he reminded the aged
heartbreaker of the promises in open
court that he would be glad to literally
provide for his wife and child. The
court thought John C. should not so
suddenly repudiate his promises.
Cooper's motion to modify the de-
cree was overruled and the defendant
was asked if he had any statements to
make as to why he should not comply
with the courts order. The defendant
had none. His attorneys moved an or
der of discharge, but it didn't take and
Judge Whitcomb said Cooper might
return to the court house Monday
morning and take his medicine.
