When Lorimer arose from the desk this
afternoon he staggered defiantly through

stepped out forever. Lorimers exit was
dramatic as the thrilling climax OF the

The proper way TO make the state

FIVE mills provision paragraph in the
constitution providing that tax of so

more money for common schools. pen
sions, higher education. etc. he would
offer to amend the constitution increas-
ing the number of mills or fraction of
mill levied for that particular purpose,
thus providing for raising and spending
the money by the same act. AS IL is
now, we have too many representatives
who are in favor Of big appropriations

their conduct forces the state treasury
behind. and always win.

a beautiful soprano voice of high

These attributes were particularly
apparent in the Lullaby from "Joce-

played by Claire Codding of the con-

itself a matchless beauty, and Miss

very jealousy given, it struck me very
forcibly because it is absolutely true
and is the keynote Of our entire devel-

ering in one of the slope towns; there
were about $50 men present; it was a
'get-together' meeting. and one of the
prominent men Of that town included
in his remarks the following:

We do that the business men of Bis

give them credit because they get

kind of fight they have on, political
or otherwise, they drop it temporarily,

something for Bismarck whenever the
opportunity presents itself

chance to get something worth while

BOOZE CRAzED
bum mURDEROUSLY
ATTACKS PARTNER

BELFLELD, June 4-On Wednesday
afternoon barn on Front street was
the scene of drunken quarrel, the re-
suit being that Jerry Holme, one OF
the participants, received a couple OF
blows on the head with an iron bar
which all but proved fatal. the assail
ant being John Kregal, village de-
generate commonly known as Smoky
Shorty" Both men, with several
others, had been drinking quite heav.
lily. Along towards evening slight
dispute arose, but lite attention was
paid to the trouble as it was not
thought that it would terminate seri'
ously. Presently the attention of the
others was drawn to the alteration.
Kregal having dealt Holme a heavy
blow on the head, which felled him
to his knees. Another followed in
quick succession. and just as he was
about to lift the bar for the third blow
was prevented by the timely arrival OF
another member of the party, who had
hurried to the scene as rapidly as pos
sible.
Holmes was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition and hurried to the
office of DR.. Spear, where it was dis
covered that the outer plate of his
skull was broken through and the in
ner plate slightly fractured. Had
Kregal been successful in dealing the
third blow, death, in all probability,
would have been instantaneous. Con-
sidering his condition at this time it
it quite possible that he may yet sue
cumb.
While the attention of the cowd was
centered on the injured man, the re-
doubtable "Snoky' was trying to COW
er his tracks in haze of dust over
the hill southwest of town. But Deputy
Sheriff King was soon on the track
and apprehended his man short dis
lance west of the South Side Cash
store on his return to town. Upon
being questioned by Mr.. King, Kregal
said that he figured he would be
caught, anyway, and might just as
we'll return and face the music. He is
at present securely locked in the vii
lage Jail awaiting trial, charged with
an assault to kill with deadly
weapon.
John Danielson, young man who
recent proved up claim in this
vicinity, was one Of the eye wit
nesses. Realizing that he would be
wanted by the state, took No. on it's
arrival, for Yates, Mont. There he
met a friend and, together, the two
left for Wibaux walking up the track.
In some way they became separated
and next morning the mangled body
of Danielson was found along the
track abe'lt two miles east of the
point Of his destination, evidently
victim of No. 4. The remains were
brought to Belfield this morning.

The voters of the city are also bal
lotting upon the question as to wheth-
err or not the city shall be bonded in
the amount of $4,000 additional to
complete the new high school. There
seems to have developed some elevnth

but whether it is strong enough to de-
