So to speak," Mr.. Clark said, he felt
very proud of the membership of the

Speaker Clark said that for years
the democrats had been sneered at
as a party OF negation, green hands

AMUSED HIMSELF
WRECKING CHURCH

Forman, N. D., Aug. 24.--A party
of De Lamere citizens, headed by o.
A. Johnson, came to the county seat,
bringing with them one VIM. Krause,
a transient, who at that time was be-
lieved to be insane. In the evening
the insanity board met and consider
ed the case, but could not detect any
Of the usual symptoms of insanity.
There was serious side to the
story of the De Lamere visitors, how
ever, which was disclosed as follows:
1t appears that Krause, whose home
is in ST.. Paul, Mimi, arrived, at De
Lamere, and in company with others,
proceeded to hit up keg of conver-
sation water, and after a while he
arrived at that state of mind which
induces so many to turn themselves
into bad actors" so to speak.
He struck out few miles south
west of De Lamere, and finally landed
at the Lutheran church in Hall town
ship, not far, from the Seltyeit farm.
He succeeded in getting into the
church.. and then amused himself in
wrecking the interior. 1t is said he
did complete job, sparing nothing.
shoes, and travelled back to De La
mere in his bare feet. Saturday aft
ernoon the evil Of this vandal was
discovered by farmers living not far
from the church, and his footprints
tracked into town. He was soon found
and taken in charge by the village au-
thorities. When the insanity board
had heard the whole story, they turn
ed the miscreant over to States At
torney Leslie, who lost no time in
putting his o. k. on warrant for arr
rest, and Krause was then lodged in
the county Jail. Monday he was given
hearing before Justice Ellsworth,
but waived examination, and also
agreed to plead guilty before Dist.
Judge r. p Allen. He will probably
be taken before the Judge at Lisbon
some time next next week to receive
his sentence--which will be term in
the penitentiary.

Concerning the new line a Bowbells
paper says:
During the past week several more
grading outfits arrived to work on the
new Great Northern road which is to
be constructed through this city. One
outfit is located in Il. +. Migge's pas

ner. Most of the time since the out
fits arrived was spent in getting the
camps ready, and up to the time OF
going to press very little grading was
done. The outfits north of the city.
however, have been literally burying
themselves in dirt. We learn that
most of the outfits came from Leeds
and Devils Lake. where they have
working on the 500 branch which has
just been completed. About a dozen
grading machines are now at work.
and as in most places very little NOV
ing of dirt is required, il will not
take long to have the entire grade
completed. The three worst places on
the line are the big coulee at the
Dunkard church, the raVlne in the

HATCHER
WAS Held To !.
GRAND JURY
On Motion Of Engerud, Bakers
Case Was Dismissed
Hatcher's Bonds Were Fixed
at ST 900
Stambaugh Claimed Ashley
Was Alone Responsible

M. NJ. Hatcher was held to the fed
eral grand jury at the conclusion OF
his preliminary arraignment just at
the noon hour today before United
States Commissioner Montgomery, on
the charge of using the United States
mails in the execution of a fraudulent
scheme. He was placed under bonds
fixed at $1,000 which he was unable to
give.
At the conclusion of the evidence in
troduced Judge Engerud contended in
his argument that fraud was shown by
the fact that the defendant knew the
Courier Publishing CO., was on the
verge of insolvency before the contest
was started and that the prizes offered
and advertised as purchased and in
the possession of the company ready
to be awarded were proven not to be
purchased and that no personal effort
had been made by the defendant to
award the prizes until the govern
ment's prosecution was started.
Charged Dishonesty.
The government contended that the
contest was shown not to have been
honestly conducted and that the con-
test money as fast as 1t came in was
used for the current expenses of the
paper.
w. S. Stambaugh, who with A. w,
Fowler, was counsel for the defendx
ant, claimed that the motion of the
United States attorney to hold him TO
the federal grand jury was unneces-
sary as he was a responsible person
who was not going away. He stated
that the defendant could in no way be
held accountable for the actions of Mr..
Ashley, the contest manager. and was
not in any way guilty Of any crime.
II was held bv the commissioners
that inasmuch as the contest money
was first turned over to the contest
manager, Mr.. Ashley, and then to The
Courier News subscription depart
ment manager, and finally, to the
company bookkeeper that the defend
ant who was actively engaged in the
MANAGEMENT of that paper should be
held to the federal grand Jury.
Baker Gaze Dismissed.
On motion ftlle United States at
torney the action against A. M. Bak-
er advertising manager of The Cour-
ier- News prior to its recent sale, was
dismissed
When the hearing was resumed this
morning Miss Mary Jorgenson, The
Courier News bookkeeper, was recalled
and stated an error had been made
la computing her figures yesterday
afternoon and that the total receipts
Of the contest amounted to $14,906. IL
instead of SIS, 9,906.16. She said she haC
included some of the advertising dur.

WELL KNOWN
IN No. DAk.
Said to Have Confessed tC
Train Robbery
Son Of Colonel LOunsberry, N,
D. Pioneer
Believed His Brain Was Affect
ed From Injury


Fargo friends of the well known
Lounsberry family were shocked to
learn through Associated Press dis
patches received in Fargo last night,
that Wells Lounsberry, son of Colonel
Lounsberry, one of the best known
pioneers of the state and founder OF
it's first daily, The Bismarck Tribune,
had confessed to a train robbery.
The dispatches state that Wells
Lounsberry is now located at Med
ford, Ore. News received by The For
um from Mandan today, is that his
home is at Central Point, Ore, the
first station northwest of Medford. He
formerly was an express messenger
with run out of Mandan.
1t has been learned that Wells
Lounsberrys head was injured some
time ago in a railroad wreck and 1t
believed that he is mentally unbalanc-
ed.
Colonel Lounsberry was one Of the
most highly respected citizens the
state of North Dakota ever had. He
is now located at Washington where
he has a desk in the land department
A sister Of Wells Bounsberry, Mrs.
C. E. Draper, now lives at Mandan
and he has two brothers at Duluth.
The three Associated Press dispatch
es were as follows:
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 24.-The daring
robbery of the Union Pacific mail
train near here last night was not
the first big robbery that Wells
Lounsberry of Medford, Ore, had ex-
ecuted. AS he lay on his cot in the
hospital here today, seriously wound
ed, Lounsberry confessed that he held
up the Southern Pacific train In a
similar manner last January at Rock
Bluffs, Cal.
Head Was Injured.
Medford, Ore, Aug. 24.-Welis
IIounsberry, who was fatally shot near
Topeka, Kan, today after having rob-
bed the mail car on the Union Pacific
train was formerly a rancher living
near here. He left home about two
weeks ago for Denver. Lounsberry, his
wife said, formerly was an express
messenger and about five years ago
was injured in a wreck Friends here
said today, that they thought the in
Jury had affected his mind to some ex-
tent. Lounsberrys father was known
in early North Dakota history as an
Indian fighter. Lounsberry was high
model one and he was regarded as a
prosperous fruit grower on the way to
wealth.
Formerly of Duluth.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 24.-Wells
Lounsberry, who was shot after hold
ing UP a train in Topeka, Kan, was
formerly a resident of Duluth and a
member of the we'll known Lounsberry
family represented her by Geo. and
