DOCTOR HATFIELD
FOR THE SENATE
Maecorkle Believes He viii be the
DARK Horse-states His
Reason

CHARLESTON, Dec. 17.-Local po-
liticat circles have been set agog by
an Interview given out by ex-Goyer-
nor w. A. MacCorlkle in which he
stated in his opinion a boom for DR..
H. d. Hatfield for United States Sen
ator from West Virginia is soon to
be launched The Ex-Governor oc.
casioned much surprise when he de
clared that if the Hatfield dark horse
boom were launched, Hatfield would
prove TO be the successful candidate.
Il believe that Hatfield is the only
man who can be elected, and | base
my assertion on the observation that
the amount of i'll feeling which has
been aroused in the campaign will
make ii hard for warning factions to
get together on any other man.
DO not misunderstood me" said
the ex-governor. 81 do not mean to
say that Hatfield is at present a can
didate, but | have reason to believe
that he will be candidate before
long"
Il have seen that Elkins persistent
ly claims that he has enough votes to
elect him." continued MacCorkle, but
| have my doubts as to whether that
is so" A great many of the Bull
Moose people will support William
Seymour Edwards, who is showing
great strength"
However, the whole fight is so
mixed up that II Is hard TO predict
just what the outcome win be. j
personally believe that Hatfield Will
come in as a dark horse candidate
and that he will be elected. My idea
has been that he has always had ulti-
mately in view a seat In the U. s.
senate. | regard him as an ambi-
tious man, and he is strong man.
The ex-governor said that he had
been attending to business interests
in Logan. He is not taking an active
part in politics at present on account
OF rush of business. He left Satur-
day morning for his home at Charles
ton
Governor MaeCorkle, who Is himself
member of the state senate. is in
terested In the situation though he
doesn't really count himself factor,
being Democrat and a supporter of
Senator Watson for the minority nom
ination.

The Series of Trials viii Start II
Kentucky and Will Make Big
Epoch

WINCHESTER, KY, Dec. 1S.-A
series of trials that will be watched
with interest all over the country are
about to begin in the Clark Circuit
court here The trials result from
the assassination of former Sherin
Ed. Callahan and will mark another
chapter in Breathitt county feudal his
tory
Callahan was rfddled with rife bull
lets as he stood in the door OF his
store one day last spring. HIS assas-
sination caused no surprise IN the
neighborhood, for the former sheriff
had long been a conspicuous figure in
the Breathitt county feuds, In the
language of the mountaineers he had
been a marked man" ever since ne
was tried and acquitted nearly ten
years ago on the charge OF having IN
stigated the assassination Of James
b. Marcum of Jackson.
Fifteen men are under Indictment
for the Callahan murder. Separate
trials have been asked for each De
PENDANT and the probabilities are that
IL will be several months before ali
of the cases are disposed OF. The nrst
to be tried will be Asbury Mcintosh
who is accused OF being the ringleaa-
er in the conspiracy 70 murder cana
han. The prosecuting attorneys ae-
clare they have a good chance TO con
yict Mcintosh, and with him proved
guilty, they will have sufficient evil
dence to gain a conviction In the case
of each of the other fourteen defend
ants.

If Socrates Russell Hamlin will

Gallipolis, Ohio, June Z, 1912.
Chief of Police, Bismarck, N. D.
Dear sir: I am looking for man
by the name OF Socrates Russell
Hamlin, a man about fifty.six years

gagged in laboring or gardening.
His uncle in this county has died
and he has become an :ier to part
of the property, and for this reason
would like to find him. Some time
ago he was at or near your city.
Please advise me if you can locate
this man.
Yours Truly,

Another slow rain extending over a
period of two or three days falling
about the middle of July will positive
ly assure one Of the largest crops that
has ever been harvested In the state
of North Dakota.
During the past three days sufficient
rain has fallen to bring the total pre-
cipitation for the year to date above
normal. Late sown flax and small
grains are especially benefited by the
present downpour.
Crops never looked better any
where at this period Of the year than
they are looking at the persent time.
C. R. Norton, travelling representa-
tive for the Capital CITY Bottling
Works, returned to Bismarck a night
or two ago from Mott, bringing with
him samples of winter rye that meas
ured over six feet in height, and other
samples that ne had secured aver
aged 81 inches in height.
Section Director Orris w. Roberts
Of the Bismarck Branch of the United
States weather bureau, drove over IS
miles through the rain and mud yes
terday, and found several fields of
winter rye in Burleigh county in
which the grain was higher than a
mans head. Corn is the only crop
that is being retarded by the cool
weather, and the hot summer days
that are scheduled for the near fut-
ure will aid this crop materially.
