Bottom Of Heart River Is
Being Dragged With a Hay

Thought That Gave 10 VIII

Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
MANDAN, N. D., April 10-About
fifty citizens left here this morning
for Sunnyside where they will drag
the Heart river in an effort to locate
the body of E. c. Johnson promin-
ent Morton county farmer who was
drowned last Friday. No organized
search has been made before this
time on account of the fact that the
current in the riv3 was too strong.
A novel river drag has been impro.
vised on of hay rake. "A couple Of
heavy weights have been attached to
two motor boats, and this will be
dragged over the bottom of the river.
A net has been placed across the
river at the plant of the Russell-Mil-
Ter Milling company to stop the body
should it have gone down the river.
While thorough search will be made
there is little chance of recovering
the body. Some are of the opinion
that the body has gone to the bottom
and caught On snag or that it has
been washed up against the bank and
a cave-in has covered it over where
it will never be brought to light again
Johnson's foster father has come
from Iowa and his wife's parents have
arrived from Wisconsin. If the body
is recovered it will be shipped for
burial to Johnson's former home. In
any event sale of his property will
be held as soon as possible.

New Evidence Unearthed
While Remington has been doing

Board Of Pardons Grant Parole.
In December a certain august body

1t was designated as the state board

HELPS PLAYERS
TO Make TEAM
SCHEME OF BILLY HOkE OF MIN
NEAPoLlS TRIBUNE WILL "A.
CILITATE SMALL BASEBALL
CLUBS SECURING OF GOOD MA.
TERIAL FOR ORGANIZATION.

North Dakota is one of the best
baseball states in the Union, compar-
atively speaking. There are more
good little teams through this CON-
monwealth than a person would ever
imagine. There are also number Of
good ball players living in the state.
1t has always been a hard matter for
managers to secure just the kind Of
material they desired for their teams.
This problem will be made easier for
them this year through.a scheme in
augurated by Billy B. Hoke and A. c.
Brokaw of the Minneapolis Tribune.
Mr.. Hoke. in association with Mr..
A. G. Brokaw, both of the Minneapolis
Tribune, and both we'll known in
sporting circles, are now listing all
ball players in the northwest who are
available and qualified to fill posi-
tons upon call. Orders for players
from managers anywhere in the north
west will be given prompt and eff
cient attention.
Ball players listed are charged a
registration fee of 81 and all orders
will be filled according to a players
ability to deliver the goods. There
will be no favorites played. If you
are good pitcher, catcher, sh0rtstop,
or can play any position with credit
address a letter Immediately to Mr.
Billy B. Hoke, care of the Minneapolis
Tribune, enclosing 81 and complete
information regarding ability, expert
ence. minimum salary expected, ETC.
When your services are required you
will be sent instructions by wire.
Managers requiring players are
urged to use the facilities thus Of
fered to the limit.
Mr.. Hoke and Mr.. Brokaw have
termed their agency the Northwest
ern Baseball Players agency, and have
their Offices in the Tribune building
at Minneapolis.

BREAKS FROM
Reform SCHOOL
BURLEIGH COUNTY BOY GETS
AWAY DURING NIGHT AND or
FICERS ARE AFTER HIM WITH
BLOOD HOUNDS. HAD HELP IN
GETTING OUT AND THOUGHT
HE WENT WEST,

Authorities across the river are to-
day searching the country for Lester
Varnum, who escaped about o'clock
last night from the reform school
Young Varnum's former home was in
the vicinity of Burleigh, twelve miles
east of Bismarck, and he was sent to
the reform school last November on
charge of assault and battery 1t
is said that some of the other boys
of the institution assisted with his
escape last night, and it is thought
that he has gone west, and it is in
that direction that the officers have
gone with the bloodhounds. Varnum
was thirteen years of age.

county, and in facs from the entire
state, over the paroling Of Joe Rem.
ington The son of the man whom
Joe Remington murdered at Fargo
will personally appear before the par
don board at it's June meeting with
a petition demanding that the board
withdraw it's parole order. 1t has been
alleged by some that some of the
names on the petition asking for
Remington's pardon were not authen-
tic. Whether or OF that is true, pub.
lie sentiment and the sense of JUS
tice demands that the murderer be
given the punishment meted out to
him by a jury composed of twelve
of his peers. Young Flett demands
that his fathers death be avenged.
Will the board of pardons heed this
cry that is arising from over the
whole state? Or will the North Da-
kota board of pardons ignore the
clamor of the people and turn Joe
Remington loose once more?
The Hand Of Fate.
Perhaps it is fated that Joe Reming-
ton shall see the prison doors swing
open to permit him to depart. Per-
haps it is destined that he shall be
met by an officer of the law and
taken before a Minnesota court to an
swer to another charge of murder.
Perhaps if Joe Remington really is
guilty of completely in the Spearman
murder, it is Destiny which guided
the issuance of the parole to him,
that he might be taken into Mime
sofa, and that, if found guilty, the
deaths of three innocent people, an
aged woman, an old man, and little
boy, will be avenged. Destiny works
in an inscrutable manner Who can
tell what the answer will be in Joe
case? The board of pard-
os might tell. But will it? Will it
give Joe Remington his parole, or
will it revoke it? Will Joe Reming-
ton be taken back to Minnesota to
stand trial for complicty in the Spear
man murder? The answer is hidden
behind the mystic veil Of the future.
Perhaps the board of pardons might
tell. Perhaps it might-and perhaps
It might not.

WESTERN union
PENSION Plan
FAITHFUL EMPLOYEES WILL BE
GUARDED AGAINST ENFORCED
RETIREMENT, AND WILL BE RE.
WARDED FOR THEIR FAITHFUL.
NESS AND FOR THEIR EFFICI-
ENCY. 90.

A pension plan for the benefit Of
the Western Union telegraph com
pany's thirty thousand employees has
just been announced by President Thee
N. Vail. President Vail said:
"A pension committee has been
compiling statistics and analyzing
existing pension plans for many
months. While the plan We are in
augurating does not 60 as far as we
would like to have it, still it is a
beginning, and We believe will ma
employees. Qualified through length
of service, who, because of incapacity
and disability, are compelled to dis
continue active work.
1.-THE solution of the problem has
not been an easy one, in view Of the
large number of employees, their wide.
ly diversified occupations, and the
large territory over which the sys.
tenn extends, together with the heavy
expense to the company inciden to
the Inauguration of the pension.
However, it is my firm belief that
all employees, identified by years Of
faithful service, are entitled to some
financial protection against the ne.
cessity of retirement, and it is the
hope of the company that this begin
ming will extend further protection OF
employees. Meanwhile, the Inaugural
ton of pension plan marks an ex-
preston of appreciation on the part
of the company of the loyal and ef-
ficient service rendered by its en-
ployes."
The plan in detail is as follows:
After twenty years of service and
the twenty-flrth year Of each
service one per cent of the average
salary for the ten years Immediately
preceding retirement multiplied by
the total years of service.
After twenty-five years of service
and up to and including the thirty
fifth year of such service one and
one-half per cent additional for each
additional year.
After thirty-five years of service,
and up to and including the 40th year
Of such service two per cent addition
al for each additional year.
After forty years of service fifty
per cent. The minimum pension al
lowance to be $500 per month. Elk
cept when otherwise directed.
No pension under this plan will ex-
coed $4,000 per month.

BISMARCK IS
GROWING FAST
HON. JAMES COLLINS OF GRAND
FORKS IS DISTINGUISHED wis.,
TOR At STATE CAPITAL. SEED.
ING ALREADY SARTED IN RED
RIVER Valley, >.

Hon. James Collins of Grand Forks
is among the distinguished visitors
in the state capital. Mr. Collins is
here looking after business interests.
All through the Red River Valley,
between Grand Forks and Fargo, Mr..
Collins states that the farmers have
begun seeding operations. West from
Fargo they are doing their spring
work but no seeding is done as yet.
In the northern part of the state a
similar condition prevails. There Is
some sentiment in this section over
commencing seeding operations too
early.
Mr.. Collins noted with interest the
great amount of building activity in
the Exposition City. He state him
self as more than pleased to see the
state capital grow so rapidly and de-
velop into such q splendid city.
The building operations which Mr..
Collins noted are also observed by
all of the travelling public that passes
through the city. It is a splendid ad-
vertisement of the enterprise Of the
residents Of this metropolis, and tells
story more emphatic than words
can portray Of the steady improve
ment of Bismarck toward becoming
the largest town in the state.

CORROBOR.ATION
OF Interest to Chronicle Readers

For months Colfax citizens have seen
in these columns enthusiastic praise of
Doan's Kidney Pills, by residents of
this locality.
Would these prominent people re
commend remedy that had not proven
reliable?
Would they confirm their statements
after years had elapsed if personal ex
perience had not shown the remedy to
be worthy of endorsement?
The following statement should carry
conviction to the mind of every Chron-
icle reader.
Mrs. E. S. Wyatt, Crowley, La,
says: ''The statement / gave for pub
lication some time ago in praise of
Doan's Kidney Pills still holds good.
The cure this remedy effected in a case
of Kidney tronble in my family has
been permanent"
