DAKOTA" Dan
HAS new fight

Boston, July 16-aDakota Dan
Russell, who two years ago lost his
case in the great legal battle to estab-
Iish his identity, electrified his for
mer townsmen OF Melrose today by
declaring his new fight which opens
tomorrow, will be in the criminal
courts.
Deserted at the last moment by his
former champion, Sen. Leslie A. Simp-
son of North Dakota. the ranchman
yesterday obtained new counsel.
The first move of his attorney, Will
liam r. Scharton, was to ask the SUI
preme court to revoke the appoint
ment of Gilbert A. Pevey of Cam
bridge, who viii sit as master to-
morrow to take evidence in the case,
Scharton will ask the master to ask a
postponement until the court hears
the motion.
Dakota Dan objects to Pevey on the
ground that the latter's association
with Levy Gould and Frederic B.
Amy, the most bitter Of the Dakotan's
opponents, is such that he cannot give
an unbiased hearing. Scharton also
wrote District Attorney Higgins ask
ing that the whole Russell fight be
presented to the grand jury, declaring
that it is evident that either Dakota
Dan or Fresno Dan is an imposter and
a perjurer.
Scharton'S demands asks the pun
ishment Of the men who are in "con-
spiracy'' against the Dakota Dan, who
alleges he paid Senator Simpson $27,-
900 and depended on him to e in
a new trial. The new counsel has sci
new record marks in the sensational
case, and some big developments are
expected to ensue.

FORMER N. D. men
IN FATAL DUEL

Sweet Grass, ArDerta, July 16.-
The preliminary hearing of Ed. Stok-
ley charged with shooting his brother,
Fred Stokley, was held. The crime
was committed about forty-ave miles
east OF Warner where the brothers
had homesteads.
Three Of four years ago, Fred Stok-
ley, a resident Of North Dakota, and
his wife parted. She went to live
with her husbands unmarried brother,
Ed. Stokiey. That is supposed TO have
led to bad blood between the brothers
and to furnish the motive for the
crime. The shooting took place Mon
day morning, and as soon as the
rumor came to the ears of the mount
ed police, officers were immediately
sent to investigate.
The evidence of an eye witness
showed that both men had guns. They
were coming toward each other when
Fred apparently started to raise his
gun; his brother then wheeled and
fired, the shot taking effect in his left
wrist and Ioin. He fell on his hands
and knees and two more shots were
then fred either one Of which would
have proved fatal.
The brothers came to Alberta, from
North Dakota, about three years ago
where they resided near Towner.

and July. Already close on 100000
pounds of wool have been brought in,
and it expected that the million mark
will be reached before the season
closes. On account Of the bulk of this
commodity, an immense warehouse is
needed to shelter 1t preparatory to
shipping, and this was built some
years ago by the Milwaukee railroad.
Here are stored hundreds of bales ana
to this place come the buyers from
the eastern factories, who, having pur-
chased extensively, rip open the bales
for examination and superintend their
shipping. Five men are constantly
employed in loading and unloading
and any day during the season the
warehouse presents a scene Of activity.
Up to the present time ten cars have
been shipped, six going to Philadelphia
and four to Boston, while from ten to
twelve q loads are now stored await
ing shipment.
Among the bic wool raisers In this
part of the country nay be mentioned
Clarkson Bros. OF Buffalo, and Gill
bert Bros. of the am place, both
of which firms have already hauled
in about 100000 pounds of wool this
Other large shippers are FL.
K. Moulton of Reva, and the Fuller
Sheep co. Of Belle Fourche, whose
SH1pm1enJS SO 1dT o TO ABOUT
40, 900 pounds each, and Robt. r..
Green of Concord, whose sales amout
to 10000 pounds.
Prices range from 5 to s cents
higher this year than last on account
Of market conditions: from 1s cents
to BIZ cents being paid according to
the quality and grade.
One of the biggest buyers this year
is e. ]. Hogan OF Philadelphia, who
represents the Allegheny Worsted
mills, the largest Independent concern
in the world. They employ 1000
hands and are at present working day
and night. Mr.. Hogan has practically
monopolized the wool output from this
point this year, having secured for his
firm about four-fifths of the crop. In
talking with him he stated that the
supply of wool in this section is de-
creasing every year. A few years ago
between Dickinson and Mandan he
used to purchase about 1,O00,0 900
pounds but the most he could secure
this season was go 00. AS the supply
decreases In this country it increases
in South America, the city OF Buenos
Ayres alone shipping more than the
whole product of the United States.

We endorse the American Protective

We further protest against the
utilization of the funds collected from
the sportsmen Of the state Of North
Dakota being appropriated into any

lection and propagation of game in the
state OF North Dakota.
That this protest may be more
emphatic, we agree, as sportsmen re-

Der of the senate or house of repre-

Importance of Immediately securing
