MR.. BURKE's CONDITION

Sioux Falls Argus Leader, Z: Geo.
Schlosser'today received letter from
his sister, who is the wife of Con-
gresham Chas. I'll. Burke, and who is
constantly at his bedside. The letter
was dictated by Congressman Burke.
He says that as he was debating he
was sitting up in and the the doctors
had told him that he could get up and
sit in chair today. He saic that he
was cheerful and contented and hop
ed to be out of the hospital in few
days. In two weeks at the outside.
He further said that there had not
beena moment since the operation
was performed that there had been
single symptom to cause apprehen-
sion. He had gained daily from the
start. and he was very sorry that
some of the South Dakota papers had
published alarming articles about his
condition.

WILSON FOUR TO ONE
Election Gamblers at New York Are
Placing Odds on Democratic
Candidate

New York, Oct 8 On the Broad
street curb market, for the first time
since the presidential campaign open
ed, bets were registered showing Gov.
Wilson to be a strong favorite for
president. Odds, which for numb
of weeks varied from 2 to l on the
Democratic candidate to 8 to 1, were
definitely set at a to /, and the offer
of we'll know betting commissioner
to wager 81 900 against $1,000 on the
chances of Democratic victory were
soon snapped up.
A man on Broad street announced
himself willing to wager to that
Wilson would receive greater popu-
lar vote than both Roosevelt and
Taft combined.
On the New York state election
Sulze r is the favorite.

Sudden. Stop Starts
Things at OriSkd

The Oriksa Sentinel gives this
graphic description of an exciting
runaway last week:
'"Alfred Moynaugh and Johnny Word
were participants in an exciting run
away last Monday morning. The two
were driving along Main street near
the Catholic church, where the horse
was stopped to let Johnny off. The
sudden stop caused Alfred to lurch for
ward off the barrel on which he was
seated, whereupon the horse became
frightened and started on a gallop up
the street. Young Moynaugh had
clutched one of the shafts and held on
in this precarious position.
"Just as the horse turned east near
the drug store he was stopped by
VIM. Trader. Young Moynaugh had
in the meantime, flung himself from
his position and escaped without in
jury; while Johnny, though badly
scared, had stayed in the buggy and
was none the worse for his expert
ence.'

show that bumper crop will be har-

a report from every section of the

and the latest reports received tend
to show that the estimates made by

were not too optimistic.

Lee Combs Out of
Race for Jud9eShip

Lee Combs today issued an official
announcement that he will withdraw
from the race. for judge of the Fifth
Judicial district, leaving the field to
Judge Coffey, who will now have no
opposition for reelection. This means
that the election Of Judge Coffey will
be a mere formality at the polls in
November. Mr.. Combs issued the fol-
lowing statement of withdrawal:
ITO the people Of the Fifth Judicial
district, state of North Dakota:
After a careful resume of the re-
suit of the primary election held June
26th, 1912, in so far as the same re-
lates to the judiciary, have conclud-
ed that Judge James "A. Coffey OF
jamestown, is the choice of the major
ity of the voters of the district, for
the judgeship, and, therefore, think it
my duty to withdraw from the con-
test.
81 ascribe Judge Coffey's lead over
me- at the primaries to his incumbency
and the claim of himself and his
friends for second term. do not
consider the result as an expression OF
lack of confidence on the part Of the
people in me, or as a rebuke to my
aspiration for the place.
'T thank the voters Of Valley City
and of the entire district for the sup.
port given me at the primary election,
and trust that should opportunity
arise in the future we shall be able
to unite on some member OF the pro
fession of the law who resides here
and elect him as judge of the district
since believe that to have the dis
trict chambers at Valley oA.y would
be far better for all interested, than
to have them located at some othe,
city in the district.
dated at Valley City, North Dakota
this 2sth day Of August, 1912.
Respectfully,
LEE COMBS"
