Hatfield. DR.. Edwin o. Thornhill. aged
30, prominent physician and business
man of the southern section of the

The shooting followed the second
refusal of Thornhill to issue the. pre-

maries. beginning with North Dakota,
in March. The presence Of his name,
on the primary tickets In North Da-
kota. Nebraska and one or more of
the other presidential primary states
would afford an opportunity Of esti-
mating with reasonable accuracy the
strength of the popular demand for
him.
There is disposition in this city to
believe that the nomination Of Roose-
velt by the republicans would
strengthen Gov. Harmon in the demo-
cratic party. The country with Roose-
welt and Harmon as the nominees
would have a fair and square oppor-
tunity to choose between radicalism
and conservatism.
Until the advent of Roosevelt and
Bryan. the republican party. in the
main, has been the radical party and
the democratic party the conservative
party. If both should nominate pro-
gressives this year on platforms not
differing in any important respect,
save as to the tariff. the conservative
voters in both parties would feel that
they We're without representation.

'0[D MONASTERY
RAZED BY FIRE
A Spectacular Conhagration
Swept Original Home of
Trappist Community

st. Norbert. Man.. Jan. SIN A
spectacular fire which swept the old
frame building and razed it to the
ground within half an hour, the orig
inal Trappist monastery was destroyed
here last night The loss will be
about S25.000, which is covered by an
insurance of $4,000. There were about
thirteen monks resident in the build
ing and these took refuge In the new
monastery. where forty others are
housed.
One of the most regrettable features
Of the fire is that the Trappists lose
their entire supply of vegetables,
which are practically their only nour-
ishment. as they abstain from meat
of all kinds. All told over fifty men
depended on these vegetables for sus-
depend on the charity of farmers in
the neighborhood About 1000 BUSH
els Of potatoes stored in the cellar
were destroyed together with hum
dreds of bushels of other vegetables,
and in addition to these ninety five
bee hives worth about $500, were lost
From these bee hives over $1,000
worth of honey was distracted during
the past summer, and it was estimated
that they would produce honey to the
value of $2,5O0 during the coming
year.
The structure that was burned was
two stories and half in height, and
was the first building erected by the
Trappists when they started opera
tions here about twenty years ago. The
fire was discovered about $3.50 in the
loft of the building and could easily
have been checked had there been any
fire ighting apparatus. The primitive
method of carrying water in buckets
to throw on the blaze had little effect,
and within very few minutes the up-
per stories were enveloped in flames.
So rapidly did the fire spread when
famed by brisk north wind that
the monks only managed to save their
clothing.
The building was isolated from. all
others so that there was no danger of
the fire spreading. There were no
accidents Of any kind and no lives
were lost. 1t is believed that the con-
f1agration was caused by a defective
fiue in the loft.
Useful Departments DESTROYED.
Some time ago there was added to
the building laundry and jewelry
and gliding department.. and this ad-
dition was also destroyed 1t is the
custom of priests all over Canada to
send sacred vessels for gliding to the
jewelry department and watches for
repair. Many of these that were in
stock were destroyed. All of the
apparatus used in the work. which
cost considerable money was lost to-
gether with gold and silver and other
partment was in charge of an expert
teweler who learned his trade in
France. and who is said to he one Of
the best in his line in Canada. It
Ia doubtful II the structure will be
rebuilt.

KING MAY VISIT:
CANADA IN 1914
May Open Transcontinental
Railroad-Would Ride on
First Train

Ottawa. Jan. 5-There is reason to
believe that his majesty King George
may visit Canada in the summer of
1914 to formally open the National
Transcontinental railway.
OHcials of the Grand Trunk railway
declare that there is no foundation for
the rumor that the G. T. P. will re-
pudiate its contract with the govern
ment respecting the lease between
Moncton and Winnipeg. They say
that the q. T. p. will be ready to OPP
crate the entire transcontinental as
soon scompleted and already opening
ceremonies are being planned.
1t Is stated here that his majesty
intends to visit the Dominion in the
near future and 1t is hoped that his
visit may be so timed as to enable
him to cross the continent upon the
first through train from Halifax to
Prince Rupert. The dispatch also
says that with the completion of the
road the commission of four will prac-
ttcally be done away with and that
before long Major Leonard will be
placed In sole control by special legis-
lation. -
No arrangements have been made
and 1t does not appear than any formal
negotiations have been opened, but
there is now as there has been for
months. a feeling in official and admin

to stimulate British interests in the

his majesty will come here specially
to open the Transcontinental railway.

return to England from the durbar in

Gray was slated for the position of
vice president with control of all of
the Great Northern lines west of
Havre, Mont.
Gray denied this report, stating that
he knew Of no planned resignation of
President Louis w. Hill. 1t Is now
believed. however. that the rumors of
Mr.. Hills intention to resign have
become current and that these gave
rise to the belief that general reor-
ganization was planned.
Mr.. Stevens is figuring on visiting
the coast and Portland some time this
month, according 10 letters received
here recently. and i is considered not
at all improbable that this visit will
have more Significance than friendly
call.

Stevens Is said to have built more
miles of railroad than any other man
in the world.

In the fight today branded the report
as an attempt to create political CAPT

for the support the former adjutant
general gave Chairman Hay, OF the

The report bitterly attacked the
president and secretary of war for

charged as adjutant general was mere
