FINLEY BUEL, ONCE ARRESTED
ON INSANITY CHARGE FOR AT
TEMPTED SUICIDE, IS NOW IN
CRITICAL CONDITION BUT HE
CLAIMS HE WAS ASSAULTED
BY FOUR MEN.
BY FOUR: ME.

Minot, N. D., May 1s.-Finley Buel
is il the hospital here in very SER
iens condition as a result Of being
slashed across the abdomen with a
knife, he claiming that he was assault
ed by four men in an clubhouse at the
rear of one of the lodging houses in
this city at 'clock this morning. 1t
is hardly probable that Buel will live.
At an investigation held by Judge
Murray and Deputy Sheriff Ward it
was discovered that Buel did the same
thing last November when residing
near Burlington, N. D., and he was ar
rested on charge Of insanity. It is
thought probable that he attempted sui
eide.
This afternoon, however, Buel was
able to make statement that he was
assaulted by the four men and seems
to be in a rational frame of mind, al
though suffering great pain. No trace
has been found of the men supposed
to have committed the deed.

EXACTING DUTIES HEAPED ON
PRESIDENTS AID DEMANDS
UNMARRIED MAN.

Washington, May 11.-Major Thorn
as L. Rhodes, who has succeeded the
late Major Archibald W. Butt as the
president chief military aide, was
chosen from the medical branch Of the
army service. He is AZ years old and
unmarried, like all his predecessors.
Serving as the president g aide is one
of the most exacting occupations
known, and for hat reason a bachelor
is invariably given the post.
Until recently Major Rhodes served
on the medical staff Of the Walter Reed
general hospital, near Brightwood, q
suburb. His duties there naturally
kept him from mingling much in the
social life Of the capital and restricted
the range of his acquaintance. But
that restriction now has been removed
and Major Rhoades is making friends
rapidly. He has always been well lik-
ed in army circles. He is somewhat
older in appearance than Major Butt,
and has more gravity of manner.

BOYS DECLARE ACCUSED MAN
DID NOT SHOOT UNTIL
FIRED UPON.

Wytheville, May 1O.-Two sons of
Floyd Allen today took the stand in
defense of their papa, as they called
him on trial, for shooting up the Car
roll county court house. Victor and
Claude Allen, both indicted with their
father for the attack on Judge Mas
sizes tribunal, were sworn in by the
defense.
"When father got up" testified
Claude, 81 saw Clerk Goad standing
with his gun pointed at papa. I be-
lieved he was goin' to shootin up pap,
and reached for my gun. Before I
got it out, pap fell and I started
shootin at Goad."
Claude declared that he saw Sidna
Allen, his uncle, who is still at large,
firing just about the time he saw Goad
fire. Wesley Edwards, who is with Sid
ma Allen, was firing from the bench
through the window OF the court room
just after the shooting began, accord
ing to Victor's testimony.
Victor was anxious to prove he had
no revolver when he was in the court
room and asserted that the shooting
done with his gun had been done by
Claude Allen, who had taken the wea-
pom as the two were leaving their no.
tel in Hillsville the morning of the
tragedy. Caude verified his story.

HARMON HEADQUARTERS SAYS
THAT HE IS FLIRTING WITH
CLARK AND WILSON MEN,

Washington, May 1.-THE attack
upon William J. Bryan stating "his
attitude in this pre-convention cam.
paign can be accounted for on the by.
pothesis that he hopes to be again nom
mated at the Baltimore convention ~
was the statement given out the other
day by the Harmon headquarters.
"The statement calls upon the demo.
Gratis Of the country to give candor
to the real situation.' It declares that
the successful democratic candidate
must this year carry the northern
states as we'll as tn Sc Bryan carried
in the last campaign and says the Ne.
braskan is opposing Harmon because
the latter is strong in the north.
That Bryan is "flirting with both
Wilson and Clark booms, it being his
desire to play one against the other in
the hope of precipitating a dead lock
at Baltimore, expecting thereby that he
may stampede the convention for his
own nomination.

ACCURACY WITH WHICH CON.
GREss REFLECTS PUBLIC MIND
Is SHOWN.

Washington, May 13.-The accuracy
with which congress reflects the gen.
eral mind has seldom, is ever, been
more clearly demonstrated that in the
series of legislative measures proposed
after the Titanic disaster to prevent a
recurrence of such catastrophe.
Senator William Alden Smiths reso-
luton providing for a complete inves.
tigation of the sinking of the Titanic
was the first legislation offered. Its
results have already been apparent in
the mass OF evidence gathered from the
witnesses who appeared before the
Senatorial investigating committee.
These results are expecte dto take
more tangible form in the remedial leg
islation which will be offered by Sena-
tor Smith or other members of the COM
mittee. What will be the scope of this
legislation even the members of the
committee are not yet prepared to say.

ored friend, Judge Morgan. Having
been his intimate friend for nearly
thirty years with opportunity to know
him few enjoyed, words fail me to ex-
press myself as to my beloved friend"
F. W. Mann: 81 dom It believe that
there was ever man, pioneer of
Devils Lake and Ramsey county, who
was more thought of than Judge Nor.
gan; our people feel the loss of good
man deeply, and no expression would
be too good for this estimable charac-
ter.''
A. NJ. Powell: 'An honest man is
the noblest work of God.'' Of all the
public servants that North Dakota ever
lad, that quotation applies to Judge
Morgan better than to any other man
I have ever known"
Henry Hale: "All that is well and
good can not express the high esteem
in which I hold Judge Morgan. The
highest tribute that might be paid to
man is none too good for him.
Chas. f. Taylor: \ friendship with
Judge Morgan formed ON April goth,
1883, and followed later by daily asso.
Citations as court stenographer during
the time he occupied the position of
judge of the District Court Of the Sec.
ond Judicial District, afforded me an
opportunity of knowing him as few
were given to know him. He was a
great and noble man; one of God g
own. His every act and thought was
for all that was good and noble in
life. Mankind is better for his having
lived his short life among US. I am
proud to say that he was my friend
and his untimely death is great and
irreparable personal loss to me.
