"WINDY" SMITH
AND HELSTROn
BUFFALO MAN DOESN'T AGREE
WITH STATEMENTS MADE BY
THE WARDEN AND COMMENTS
ON LATTER's ACTIVITY I'M BE-
HALF OF REMINGTON.

Buffalo, N. D.. April 1S.-To The
Forum: Some time last winter a
correspondent of The Courier-News
at bismarck wrote a lengthy defense
OF the pardon board. whoever it
was did not feel justified in signing
his name. It smelled like Frank
Helstrom. He said that when the
majority of the people, living near the
scene of the crime, signed The petit
ton, that the board Their took action.
In the Remington petition, there was
hfty-three signers in Fargo. forty
four in Armenia, eight in Mapleton,
fifty in C~asselton, twenty-one in
Wheatland, thirty or in Hunter.
four in Arthur-211 in all in Cass
county. There were signers from
Minneapolis, Chicago, California, and
New England states. What did
these people know about the merits
of the case? Is 211 men, the major
ity Of Cass county?
The writer said that the present
states attorney and several ex-state's
attorneys signed the petition. Arthur
Fowler, Mr.. Sambough, VIM. Barnett
and Seth Richardson, all deny any
knowledge of signing it. There are
others who deny they signed it.
Now comes Mr.. Helstrom, over his
W signature, and tells us what a
smart bunch the pardon board is.
He tells us that they know more than
the people. He then defends John
Burke, for something John Burke did
not do. Helstrom must think the
people don't read the papers. He
must think we are all d n fools.
We know that if John Burke had
been in Bismarck that Remington
would not have been pardoned.
We know that if Frank Helstrom
had not worked his head off, thai the
board would not have paid any att
tention to R~emington's petition, and
Judge Spalding would not have had
to write Cass county commissioners a
roast.
That was an awful nice letter of
Mr.. Helstrom's, but / can't see where
he explains anything, that needed ex-
planning.
If Mr.. Helstrom means that he
never told the pardon board. what a
nice boy Joe was, and never told any
one of the board, that he favored the
pardon, then l think he talks Just like
l do, when | am lying like hell.
He doesn't say anything about the
patent a door fasteners-just says
Helstrom and the pardon board are
pure.
1 am blowing gardens now and am
too busy to tell him. what 1 think of
them. Helstrom as in many WAYS
been a good warden but it looks as
If it cuts no figure about a mans
politics, whether stalwart, insurgent
or democrat. After he gets firmly
seated in the political saddle, after
he gets his snout into the public
trough, he gets too wise for his job.

LITTLE TOT WAS
HORRIBLY BITTEN

Devils Lake. N. d, April 1s,-The
little 2-year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Gray, living south Of this city,

the alleyway in front of the horse

AS the boy went past one horse it
made a dodge at him with its head
and took a bite out Of the little fell

NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
News From Esmond.

Esmond, N. ID, April 19.-For sew
eral weeks past the 500 Railroad Co.
has had options on various tracts Of
townsites. Three Of those options
have now been closed and land bought
outright for three new towns, as fol-
lows: 800 acres of David Bedford.
in sections 8 and 4, township 154,
range II, near the present Fillmore
postoffice; 100 acres Of w. J, Church
and James Stammer, in section Is,
township 154, range 40, eight miles
east Of Fillmore, and so acres of o.
ID. Comstock, in section 90, township
154, range 6S, five miles west and
three miles south of Brinsmade.
After about two months spent in
getting his camps built, machinery on
the ground, and t~restles erected,
Contractor Peter Nelson Of Minhe-
apolis handled the first shovelful of
earth yesteray, with his steam show
els. This is the first earth broken in
Benson county, on the new Drake
Devils Lake Fordville cut-of Of the
500. The most Of the grading re-
naming to be done Is in Benson and
Ramsey counties. the grading in
other counties along the line being
largely completed.
Observing farmers claim that there
is more moisture in the ground at
present than for any spring during
the past ten years, and in conse-
quence OF that indication of a boun-
teous crop, and the prospect Of near
err and rival markets for their grain,
on completion Of the new railroads,
the farmers of Pierce and Benson
counties are particularly jubilant
just now
Railroad contractors here who
claim to be in touch with those who
know, say that the Esmond line will
be extended to Towner this summer,
over the survey made two years ago.
If that is the case, Pierce county will
be particularly fortunate, with three
new lines clear across the county,
adding about seventy five miles to the
railway mileage of that county and
materially helping, with the taxes, to
pay for the new courthouse, COM
pleted last fall. Hardly a farm in the
county will then be over five or six
miles from a railroad.
A banker of Frederick, Wis, is put
ting in a bank at Ibach, the new town
of the 500, thirteen miles south of
Rugby. Rugby business men do not
anticipate that the new towns will
injure their trade very much, for the
improvement to the county as a whole
will more than offset the business
that goes to the new towns being es-
tablished in Rugby territory.
In the same way the benefits com
ing to the farmers of b%ounteous
Benson county, will more than Offset
any loss of trade to the older towns
by the establishment Of the new
towns on the 500. Brinsmade, Min
newaukan, Esmond, Knox and York
will find their territory cut into to
some extent, but there is consider
able land not yet broken and cropped,
and with the impetus given to farm
ing by the new lines, soon every foot
of land will be brought under inten-
sive cultivation, and a larger culti-
waited area and larger population will
maintain the trade.

YOUNG ELOPER

Aberdeen, S. D., April 19.-Harry
.Halpenny, the young barber who elop-

domestic, while his wife was i'll at a
hospital a baby being born to her dur-
ing the absence of her errant husband,
vas captured at Rosalie, Neb., and
brought back to this city, where he is
held in the Brown county Jail in de-
fault Of $1,000 bail. The Haas girl,
who was captured at Sioux City a few
days ago, is also in jail. Halpenny
presents a very debonair appearance,
and seems to have nc idea Of the grav-
ity of his o~ffense, or to realize that he
stands an excellent show to serve a
term in the state p~enitentiary for wife
desertion n adultery. The girl
maintains an attitude of stolid indif-

impose. The young wife and mother,

DECREASE OF
WHEAT ACREAGE
MANY FARMERS IN NORTH DA-
KoTA MAY SOW OTHER GRAINS
GENERAL ACREAGE WILL
EXCEED THAT OF FORMER
YEARS, a

There is considerable speculation in
this state as to the acreage of the
different grains to be sown this sea-
son. From all reports it is quite prob
able the wheat acreage in the north
western part of the state will be less
than usual. One report from a re-
liable source in Bottineau county is
to the effect that the acreage as esti-
mated today will be 25 per cent less
than last year, and if the season does
not prove favorable it may fall short
40 per cent. The general acreage will
exceed former years but it will shift
to other grains. It is thought that in
the most instances there will be an
increased acreage in fax, barley and
rye, and in the northwest quarter 1t
is possible there will be a considerable
increase in corn, as the corn which
was quite successfully raised in the
northwest part Of the state last year
was the means of many farmers pull
ing through the winter without SELL
ing their horses and cattle at a sacri-
fee, owing to the failure Of other
crops. But this rule will not work in
the Red river valley where there was
a great deal of cor last year; in fact,
many farmers found themselves with
a superabundance of that feed, and
many are expressing the intention of
raising less this year.
There is also one feature about the
corn question which will have a ten
dency to reduce the corn acreage in
many localities, and that is the fact
that there is a great scarcity of good
seed, and a very large percentage of
this cereal will not terminate. Be-
sides this the price is almost prohibi-
tive, seed corn selling as high as SO
and $40 a bushel. One farmer in
Burke county reports having paid 50
for a single peck and he vas con
fined to one peck, the seller refusing
to sell any more to any one party.

MANGLED
TO DEATH
North Dakota Man Died Under
His Disc
Life Chopped 0ut Under the
Wheel Knives

LaMoure, N, D., April 19.-Eric Lar
son was operating a disc harrow on
his farm in Swede township, and be-
was found pinned under the disc the
team frightened and stalled near q
wire fence close to where the accident
happened. Life was extinct when the
body was recovered.
Mr.. Larson was working in a field
close to where some neighbors were
at work blasting rock. but just out
of sight. 1t is not known just how
the accident happened but from view
ing the surroundings, it is presumed
the unfortunate man was adjusting or
repairing the disc, as one of his gloves
and a monkey wrench were found ly-
ing on the ground near where the
team started to run. Possibly the team
was startled by the explosion Of blast
ing, but this is only a surmise. The
nan was dragged about six or eight
rods. One leg was badly cut, his body
and head frightfuly mangled.
MI. Larson was one Of the pros
porous farmers Of Swede township, and
leaves a wife and FIVE children to
mourn his unfortunate and untimely
death. He was about As years of age.
