FEAR MAD MANS RETURN
Settlers in the Town Of Roosevelt
Ask That Leitzheim Be Kept in
St. Peter.
BELIEVE LIVES IN DANGER.

Settlers in the town of Roosevelt
last night forwarded a petition to the
superintendent oT the insane hospi-
tai at st. Peter asking that Andrew
Leitzheim not be released. It is I'M
derstood that some of Leitzheim's
relatives are endeavoring to have
him freed.
On March -, 1910, Leitzheim
made a murderous assault on Carl
Bjorglund, another settler in the
same town The two men met on a.
road when Leitzsheim drew a revolt
yer and shot Bjorglund in the back.
The wounded man grabbed the re-
volver and fled, but Leitzheim fired
six shots after. him with his rifle,
none of them taking effect.
IeitZheim was arrested and in
dicted for assault in the first degree.
He was taken before an insanity
board which declared him insane and
Judge Stanton ordered him taken to
the criminal insane ward at St. Peter.
It is said that while he was in Jail
in Bemidji he frequently made
threats that he would kill Bjorglund
if he ever got out. .@
1t is understood that if released as
cured, Leizheim will still be held to
answer his Indictment of first degree
assault.

GASOLINE FAMINE

Owing to the failure of the Stand
ard Oil gasoline car to arrive in Be-
midi On time, there has been 2 small
gasoline famine this week. The car
was shipped from the refinery on
time, but the railroad found the car
damaged and refused to accept it. A
second car was then shipped out but
did not reach Bemidji until the
through freight yesterday. The crew
of the through freight would not spot
the car and it had to wait until the
local came through at o'clock last
night. In the meantime, the gaso-
line supply of several automobile
owners ran so low that they felt un.
comfortable.

The republican state committee which
met at Bismarck last week promulgated
the doctrine that as far as this State is
concerned the republican party. will
wash its hands from the responsibility
of the fasco of the national convention
at Chicago, and that the republican par
ty OF this state is not based on the am
bition of any man or number of men.
Anyone who adheres to republican prin-
ciples and votes the state republican
ticket is in good standing IN the party.
Which to us seems good stuff. Our 10.
cal divisions, which resulted in the cleo
ton of democratic governor are practi.
cally ended. The new division caused
by the split at Chicago, has broken up
the factioual lines between the old stall
warts and later progressives in this state
by the introduction Of new issues which
are not state issues. Hence there is no
reason why the former factional differ.
