VERY RAPID RATE
PEOPLE MUST DETERMINE
Viii Have County to County Canvass
as in Former Years-Both Jones
and Blease Want to Face the Peo-
p1e-They siust at Last Decide the
Issue.

The Florence Times says there /:
great deal of talk in political circle:
about Columbia Of doing away wltt
the county to county campaign thl:
year, but that sort Of thing is talked
every campaign year. 1t IS hard on
the campaigners and not of interest
10 the people, but each year it IN
creases in force. Generally the can
didates themselves want the deadly
round cut out, but the committees
are afraid Of the people and so it
goes on.
In this instance the candidates are
both anxious for a chance before the
people. 3ir. Blease has always en-
ioyed the rough and tumble OF the
stump, and he has been saving up SO
much thunder for his fight that he
would think himself very badly
treated man if the campaign meet
irgs were cut of, and he is looking
also, after the scalps Of the members
of the general assembly who opposed
him, and after every other little
thing that is of interest to him so
that he would be unwilling to give up
the opportunity to meet the voters.
Judge Jones left the supreme
bench to come out before the people
and to meet the man Nlo. from his
official posASSn attacked the integrity
Of the supreme court, and whom he
regards as the wrong man in the
place that he fills. He would not be
willing to forego that pleasure, and
he is man who glories in the noise
and din OF battle. He is good
stump speaker, and will give a good
account Of his stewardship when he
meets the people. He is self-made
man and rose to where he IS by his
own exertions.
He is the man that your long
headed Uncle Ben Tillman chose as
chief lieutenant on the floor Of the
house because he was an aggressive
as we'll as an able man and was not
to be scared, and ho is clean and
fears no successful ''tack on his
private or public recC..,, it has been
exceptionally clean and good, and
he is beloved Of the masses, for he
is one Wit, them and Of them, one
who has risen above the masses only
ir intellect, power for good in the
State and patriotic spirit.
There will probably be candidates
in .ympathy with the governor for
all OF the other Offices except that OF
adiutant general, for that and the
secretary of states Office are the only
ones that the governor has not had
quarrel with. If R. N. AcCown
runs for congress as he is likely to
do, there will be number Of ,csndl-
dates for the position Of secretary OF
state, and one Of them may be W.
Banks Dove, who has been assistant
secretary Of state for long time.
The main fight is going to be for
the Office of attorney general where
the main fight comes in, and even
so blind man as tho governor can
see that neither Barney Evans nor
Hub Evans can win, so that there
are many stories Of better men that
are to be brought out. 1t is also said
that Senator Earle, the chief lieuten-
ant of the governor in the senate is
going to come out for lieutenant gov
ernor on the Blease ticket. So the
political gossip runs, but we will have
to wait and see.

CURATOR Fish
FOUND RELICS
HAS RETURNED FROM CANNON.
BALL WHERE HE VISITED
DIR. REEDE.

Devils Lake. N. D., July 2s.-Cur-
ator III. @. Fish has returned from a
two-day trip to the Cannonball to
consult with DR.. Beede on historical
matters.
While there he saw a number of
picture rocks. probably of the ancient
Mandan. One Of these rocks the Sioux
took to the church yard SO that 1T
would not be stolen or broken up.
When they had gotten it as far as the
gate the rock sang the song of pleas
ure SO they left It right in the gate
way. Some OF. the other rocks show
birds, others the summer and winter
track of the buffalo.
DR.. Beede is having remarkable
success with his Sioux Episcopalian
c~hurches-the Caffnonball church and
Red Hail Camp church. He has there
10S communicates and 400 adherents
in the parish.
The Cannonball church was organ
lied in 1884. Flo a long time very
little effective work was done. out in
the past ten years these two churches
have developed into a strong, earnest
working body of men and women
BY a slow process they have been
taught the art of giving. This year
they have given to foreign missions
S76 with a children missionary offer
ing of $50.
These churches have taken upon
themselves to support the Rec Epis-
copaI work on Berthold reservation at
Armstrong.
1t was these two churches with DR..
Beede as advisor who carried tt so
great success the Episcopal convoca-
ton recently held at Armstrong on
Berthold reservation. They gave 1910
in money towards its success. Then
for next year came up they planked
s114 and pledged 500 more. All this
good work has been done Besides
carrying on their own work every
Sunday.
These Sioux Ep~iscopalians are an
ambitious group and are doing a
splendid work in the Cannonball
country.

DROWNED Man WAS
ESCAPED CONVICT

Schafer Record: In reply to one Of
the number of postcards describing
the body of the man found on the
Mckenzie county side Of the Missouri
river, 1T the Sioux crossing, a few
days ago, Sheriff Wynn Of Dawson
county, Montana. writes he is posi-
tive that the body is that of a mar
he had in jail at Glendive.
The man was known by the name
OF J.. w. White. Sheriff Wynn says
however, THAI he does not think that
was his true name. The man had
been serving a n1nety-day sentence in
the Glendive Jail and escaped while
acting ~ a 'trusty."
Sheriff Wynn learned that the es-
capped prisoner had gone to a ranch
house down the Yellowstone and en-
Of Ahrogast to take him across the
river, above the government dam, to
the town of Intake. AS the river
was nearly bank full at the time.
Abrogast refused to take him acros
White then left saying he was going
over to intake.
On the same day that White had
left the Abrobast place. a man was
seen in q boat, on the river above
the dam. AS the boat near the
center Of the river 1t was seen to
shoot rapidly towards the dam. The
occupant disrobed and leaped into
the river. He was carried over the
dam, together with the boat, almost
Immediately afterwards. The boat
was found below the dam, later. The
man, however, had completely disap-
peared.
AS there is no other person report
ed missing. the body found at Sioux
crossing is undoubtedly that Of Sheriff
Wynn's prisoner. Sheriff Wynn says
that the escaped prisoner was a
large man, and that the prisoners in
Jail at the slime Of his disappearance,
say he had a tooth missing from the
lower jaw and they think some tattoo
mark on one of his arms. This de-
scription, with the exception Of the
tattoo marks, corresponds with that
of the 'f1oater'' found In the Mis-
souri,. The tattoo marks were per-
haps not noticed owing to the fact
that the body was badly decomposed.

The Reflector, published by the in-

N. D. MANS DEATH
A DEEP MYSTERY

New England, N. d. July 29.-The
people of New England were greatly
shocked Saturday when word was
brought to town that John A. Schmidt.
the largest and strongest mar Ia the
county, had been found dead in a
small pool OF water, at the coal mine
two miles north of town. AS soon as
men in automobiles rushed TO the mine
where the body was still lying in the
water.
Mr.. Schmidt had been working in
the mine in the morning in company
with Otto Phillips and Schmidt's
two brothers. He left the others at
about $3.50 o'clock to get a team to
the last seen Of him alive. The other
men vent on with the work, think
ing nothing of his disappearance until
noon. After dinner a search was made
for Mr.. Schmidt who they thought
was on the prairie looking for his
team. They found his team and re-
turned to the mine where they found
the dead man In a small pool Of
water. He was lying face downward.
There were no marks about the water
and his death is shrouded in mystery.
Several different theories have been
advanced as to the cause of his death.
1t was a very warm day and he MAJ
have been the victim OF a sunstroke.
The c%oroner's jury has Q met as
yet.
Mr.. Schmidt was a perfect type OF
q man. He was 26 years old and was
over six feet and four inches in height
and was seemingly in perfect health.
He was a quiet and ~unassuming
young man and a diligent worker. He
had a homestead a few miles north of
town.
He Is survived by four brothers and
his father and mother are living. 1t
is doubtful IL the mystery surround
ing the death will ever be satisfac-
torily cleared up.

GIBBONS Soon TO

HE WANTS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE

ABLE TO MEET REAL MIDDLE
WEIGHTS AND BE ON EQUAL
TERMS WzTH THEM.

ST. Paul, July 2s.-When Mike Glib
bons returns to this city in the fall he
expects to be ready to IRE the open
ing u OF a campaign to obtain recog-
milton as the m~iddleweight champion
of the world. Before Gibbons left for
his home in st. Paul to spend the sum-
mer he informed a friend that his OBJ
Ject was not only to obtain a needed
rest, but to build himself up, SO that
he would be able to meet the McGoOr-
tvs, Klauses and Mohas at something
like equal terms as regards weight.
IL he can succeed in acquiring a few
more pounds he will drop all p~retence
of being a welterweight and meet all
corners at the 1~5S-pound limit.
There seems to be no particular
reason why the st. Paul phantom
should not pick UP a few more pounds.
He has just turned "a years Of age,
and having barely ceased to grow in
height can now be expected to take
on flesh. At the present time he scales
at ISL, ringsiGe, although he can do
las in the afternoon. Even at his pres
ent weight there are many who think
he could %outpoint any of the prominent
m~iddleweights in a ten-round bout. But
in a long distance fight his lack OF
weight might be too great a handicap.

ELEVATOR STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING
GLEN5uRN HAS WORST FIRE
Loss IN YEARS-DEPART-
MENT WORKED HARD,

EE
Gienburn, N, D.. July 29.-Lghtning
struck the A. Butts elevator and be-
fore the fire was discovered it had
gained such Roadway that there was
no chance to save any part of the
building. When first discovered the
flames were shooting out of the top
OF the building and by the time the
fire alarm was given and the fire boys
got there the flames had penetrated
the entire interior OF the elevator.
MT. Butts was one of the first ones
to get of bed when he heard the
fire bell and as soon as he discovered
the location of the fire he made haste
to get to the building and by so doing
managed to save his automobile,
which was in the driveways, and the
desks and books from the office. These
We're all that were saved. The rest
Is a mass of twisted and warped iron.
The Farmers elevator and coal shed
which are very close to the Butts
elevator were saved only after a hard
hight by those present. The coal shed
caught flre several times and 1t was
with great difficulty that the flames
Were gotten under control. The
Farmeds' elevator was blistered clear
to the top and 1t is a wonder that it
did not catch fire. Three box cars
had to be pushed past the burning
elevator to save them. They were
so close to the elevator that to leave
them would have meant their destruc-
ton and at the same time been a
means of carrying the fire to the coal
shed of the Farmers elevator. The
fire boys fought the flames skilfully
and hard and are entitled to much
credit for their splendid work.
This elevator was built by Harry
H. - go -a-
sold by him to A. Butts and the
Poehler Grain Co. It was valued at
$500 and the insurance carried
amounted to $500.
This is the worst fire GIenburn has
ever experienced.
