EIGHT SLEPT IN
ONE LARGE BED.

Devils Lake. N. D., March H.
Night Clerk Howe Of the Great
Northern was a busy man Satur-
day night checking in the many
over Sunday guests of the house,
and among them he registered a
man and woman who were on
their way from Mississippi, where
they have lived all their lives, to
a homestead in Montan.
He assigned them to room 90 on
the top floor and thought nothing
more of them than the others who
had put their names on the book.
The bell boy took the man and
woman up the stairs, the mother
carrying a small babe in her arms.
A few minutes later the father
came down and made his way to
the depot, returning presently with
two more children, and made this
trip twice. bringing over alto
gether five children besides the
babe.
The clerk, however, did not know
Of tho affair until the next morn
ing when he saw the family of
eight emerging from the room.
When an explanation was asked
for as to how they managed to
sleep the old gentleman offered the
information that three of the
children were put to bed until
they fell asleep and were placed on
the floor and the same with the
next three, and after the children
were all slumbering, he and his
good wife went to bed and enjoyed
their slumbers until morning.

yesterday afternoon that Sen. Robert
Marion LaFOllette of Wisconsin was

three days Of the presidential prefer
ential primary compaign. BY a large
number Of the Roosevelt supporters

the senator himself to the state.

SITUATION

GunbOats Cleared For Action
10 China

Hong Kong. March 1.-THE situa-
tion at Canton where the revolters
under Lux. brigand chief are en-
deavoring to oust the local provincial
government. are regarded here as most
alarming. European missionaries have
been ordered to quit the territory at
once, and all available river vessels
are being pressed into service to bring
the refugees to this city. The Honana
yesterday brought 1,7O0 passengers
and the Fat Shan carried 1900 moro.
Several British boats are waiting a.
their piers at Canton today on aa~
count OF the danger OF the sudden
trouble. They are keeping Up steaxR
ready for action.
The fighting at Canton began with
an attack by the brigands several
days ago and has continued constant
ly ever since In various parts OF the
suburbs The attack began to aa-
sumo serious proportions when soldiers
in both ports mutinied and surrender
ed the forts to Luk's men.
The invaders equipped themselves
with an arsenal and with modern guns
and ammunition and took possession
OF the admiralty buiIcsng. The per.
sons killed and wounded thus tar are
estimated between 400 ana aEa.

GERMAN MINERS
in SERIOUS RIOTS

Berlin, March 12.-collisions be-
tween the strikers and the police and
non-strikers are reported to have oc-
CURED today in six or eight locaIi-
ties in the coal regions. The most
serious conflict was near Hamborn, IN
the Dusseldorf district, where accord
ing to dispatches, mob Of 1000
strikers, threw stones and bottles and
fired revolvers at detachment of forty
policemen on guard, injuring five of
them.
The police then charged with drawn
sabers. injuring many strikers. AT
many other places, the workers were
stoned and the police used their sa-
bers dispensing the strikers but the
numbers of casualties are not reported.
Owing to these disturbances the
Christian Trades unions and mine
owners telegraphed to the minister Of
the Interior to send troops or to re-
inforce the police in the coal districts.
The police on the other hand assert
the police protection is sufficient.

Motion to Quash Indictments
Was Denied
NO CONFUSION SAYS JUDGE
JUDGE ANDERSON, BEFORE THE
FoRTY-sIx ALLEGED DYNA-
MITERs WERE TAKEN, SAYS
MOTION OF DEFENSE WAS As-
sURD.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 12.-Da-
murrers to the indictments against the
forty-six defendants in the govern
ment's prosecution of the alleged dy-
namiting conspiracy, filed before
Judge Anderson by counsel for the
indicted men, when they were arraign.
ed in federal court today.
Elijah Zoline Of Chicago, one of the
attorneys for the defense, began the
argument in support of the motion to
quash the indictments on the ground
that many OF them were charged with
the same offense in the conspiracy TO
illegally transport explosives.
Judge Anderson interrupted Zoline
with the statement that the motion TO
quash the indictments on the ground
Of a confusing multiplicity Ia sab-
surd."
"These defendants never so TO trial
without thoroughly understanding
what they are charged with" said he.
"They will not be embarrassed or con-
fused in this court. The motion is

The following letter has been receiv-
at Roosevelt headquarters here from
Governor Stubs of Kansas, outlining
the present political situation as he
sees it and as he would have presented
it to the people of North Dakota could
he have come to the state in person
as he at first intended:
Frank S. Talcott, Chairman State
Central Committee, Fargo, N. D.:
Dear Mr.. Talcott-I very deeply regret
that it was impossible for me to fill
my engagements to address your citi-
zens in the interests of the nomina-
tion and election Of Theodore Roose-
welt to the Office of president of the
United States.
Kansas like Dakota is a thoroughly
progressive state. The management
of our state government is sound
business like and up to North Dakota.
The people of Kansas want to see
business laws and efficient business
management in the interest Of all the
people applied to the affairs Of our ma
tional government.

committee to tell the people Of North
Dakota why Kansas is for Roosevelt

The state ticket was elected by from
$4,000 to 10000.
Practically every state in the union
that is normally republican had re-
publican governor, republican legis-
lature and the national congress was
overwhelmingly republican when The
cdore Roosevelt retired from the
White House. His policies were pro-
gressive and sound, the achievements
of his administration if properly
summarized would read more like the
work of the century, that history of
seven years administration of the af-

SPERRY CASE
BEGUN TODAY
Clyde Sperry Is Charged With
MansIaughter
4 tse Of Death Of Kenneth
NcKenzic PrObed Again

Tle aorning in the Cass county
distri aurtroom Judge Charles A.
POLLOCK med the case Of the state
against % Sperry, who is charged
with mai yhter. in the first degree.
1t is a1egsd he was implicated in the
death of Kenneth McKenzie, youth
living with his parents at Aneta in
the month of October, 1909.
Thirty-five jurors answered to the
summons of the sheriff and all re-
ported this morning, and at $3.50 the
transferred case from Nelson county
was opened here. Many curious were
present at the opening and it is anti
cipated many more will fill the large
court chamber to hear the testimony.
| Judge Pollock opened the case by
giving a short but convincing lecture
to the talesmen. Following this Ralph
Thompson of Hunter, the first juror
called was passed upon by both the
defense and the state and was then
sworn in as the first juror to hear this
action. j. g. Brown of walberg and
Nick Breyer of Fargo were the sec
ond and third men to sit in the panel.
The attorneys are using different
"quizzing' system on the jurors than
usual. Instead of the many jurors sit

1t is anticipated the jury panel win
be complete when court adjourns to-
night and everything will be in readi-
ness to start the testimony tomorrow
morning.
Simon Mckenzie Of Aneta, father of
the deceased boy, is an attentive lis
tener to the proceedings. Clyde
Sperry the accused and his father, oc-
cupy two seats inside the court circle.
This is the case where young Nc
Kenzie was badly burned while deliv-
ering meat for his father at late
hour at Aneta, and later died in
Fargo hospital. There were two stories
at the time of the tragedy. One was
that young Mckenzie stumbled and
spilled oil from a lantern he was car
rying over his clothing and the cloth
ing caught fire,
The other story was that two meE
caught the lad, poured the oil from
the lantern over him and set it on flre.
An alleged confession, said to have
been made by young Sperry in which
he implicated another man, resulted IN
the trial of the other man on charge
of manslaughter and this other man
was freed, Sperry denying the confess
sion, at the trial. 1t is on this al
legged confession that he is now being
tried.
