WAGON WAS HIT
BY BOX CAR

New Salem. Sept. 17.-While the
Jacob Bollanski team was engaged in
filling the tank of the occident eleva-
tor the driver saw a couple OF cars
coming down on the siding. let loose
by the engine of the local. He tried
to back away from the track but his
wheel was stuck on a platforms behind
him. The brakeman on the airs did
his best to stop them in time by means
of the brakes but even at best they
passed the horses which crouched
back to avoid them, but broke the
tongue of the wagon projecting yer
the track. That a horse was not killed
was the wonder of all who saw the
accident.

There has been much strife and

throughout the state as to which
particular locality produced the best
crop. We can see no sense in enter
ing into any controversy of this kind.
The farmers on the Golden valley are
satisfied with the immense crop that
our fertile valley always produces and
if any other locality throughout the
state has produced a larger crop we
are glad that they have, we would re-
joice with them in their good fortune.
We, of the Golden valley are content
with our yield and have no objections
whatever to people Of other districts
raising a good crop also. North Da-
kota is the best state in the union any
way and the newspaper boys should
not let the matter of a few bushels
Of grain come between them and

His four hounds chased up a wolf in
some brush and before he could reach
them it had torn all the dogs badly,
two so seriously that they may die.
They held it until he shot 1t and he
found it the largest and fiercest one
he had ever seen. 1t measured seven
feet in length and had tusks SO long
that one could readily understand the
damage it wrought upon the dogs.
One has a terrible cash in the side
and the other had this throat laid
open. He has hunted wolves with

UNUSUAL FREAK.

Grafton News and Times: Tax
idermist Williams has a freak on
exhibit in his shop. It is a lamb
or rather two lamb bodies grown
together which has only two front
feet, but four hind feet. The two
heads are fairly well shaped and
are grown together about the ears.
Then extending backwards about
four inches the freak has a normal
lamb shape. Between these two
bodies there is still another body
partly formed. Thus the lamb has
three tails, two heads and six feet.
The freak was sent by Geo. Baeth
of New Rockford. Another freak
of nature that Mr.. williams is
mounting is a pure white duck of
the green-winged teal variety shot
by George Mennie of Bottineau Of
which there is only one of the
same variety in existence that Mr..
Williams knows of.

That the murderers of Rosenthal
have been slipping out of town for the

up certain gun men. That a picked

officials of the prosecutors office and
that they had a rehearsal of the kill

The secretary of the local branch Of
the United National Association OF
Postoff1ce Clerks has received word
from the Washington bureau that a
number of the measures tending TO
the advancement of postal employees.
for which the local members have
been working, have received favorable
consideration in the postofffce appro-
priation bill, consideration of which
has been completed by the senate COM
mittee.
The bill not only includes a large
number Of salary increases. but a
number of other provisions which will
tend to make conditions pleasanter
for the clerks. This result has been
accomplished as the result Of a long,
hard fight which the association has
put up. and in which the local mem
bers have taken a leading part.
The senate committee agreed to
1908 promotions above the 81 200 as
PASSED by the house, and added some
500 promotions from $1,000 to $1,000
and from $1,000 to S1,400.

endorse someone from this city as a
delegate to the Chicago meeting. E.
]. Wagner, having expressed "a coy
willingness to be selected, was named
as the choice of the local party, and
the delegates were instructed to pre-

were no set speeches and no flights

as a meeting OF the missionary So

RoSENTHAL'S CONFESSION OF
GRAFT SEALED HIS DOOM

New York. July 22.-This is Her
man RosenthaPs death warrant-his
story of his dealings with the police
as told to a reporter Saturday night at
the time he swore out his aff1davit and
published in Sundays New York
World:
Il have been having dealings with
the cops all my life. When l was a
boy of seventeen I used to go to the
station house every week and p.zY over
to the captain s25 for running a game
have been paying them money al
most constantly ever since I stopped
hustling newspapers to run a gambling
game, and have always been on the
square with them.
Il never met Becker nor knew any
thing of him until last fall, when he
made raid at 155 Second avenue. But
have had my experience with the
cops-bitter experience often-and had
no desire to widen my circle of ac-
quaintance among them. l was run
ming a. club at 123 Second avenue dur
ing the time Judge Jerome was in the
district attorneys office and while In
spector Russell was on the job. That
was when I had my first real trouble
with the police, although I knew better
than to trust them long before that
time. l paid for everything 1 got and
saw to it that I got it, for in the old
days the captain was the real man,
and what he said went. All that was
necessary was to do business with the
captain and nobody else dared crook
a finger at you.

But all the places had been closed

the police were afraid. I was not gam

club called the Red Raven Social Club
on Seventh street. I kept them open
only to let the boys-the c1erks-do a
little business to keep them going.
Inspector Russell demanded per
mission to make an inspection of these
places. I told him he had no right in
the law to make such inspections or to
enter my places without a warrant and
l refused to allow the cops in. I was
told that u the other houses in town
permitted police inspection, but I said
did not care.
Inspector Russell reported me to
Jerome. who sent for me- I found In
spector Russell and the captain sitting
there. Jerome wanted to know if I was
running gambling house. I told him
was not and he tried to blur me
by telling me that he knew I was.
laughed at him.
Well, we had a long argument and
an agreement was made that when
ever the police wanted to inspect my
place they should bring one of Judge
Jerome's men along. That made the
police look Ike suckers and they got
sore on me and began to pound me.
In the meantime I made arrange

LOCAL ORGANIZATION or THE
NATIONAL PROGRESSIVE PAR.
TY-DELEeATEs ARE NAMED
TO STATE MEETING AT ocALA.

The meeting held last night at the
court house for the local Organization
of the National Progressive party was
most inauspicious from Bull Moose
standpoint, there being in evidence
neither a tangle of perfervid adJec-
tives nor a bolt B. Moose, in fact,
made his appearance upon the local
stage of POLITICAL activity in a most
decorous and lady like fashion. There
was evident in the deliberations no
Wild-woodsy impetuosity, but there
was. withal, considerable enthusiasm,
of a quiet sort among the fifteen or
twenty Bull Mooses or Bull Meese,
whichever is the correct plural Of the
new partys mascot, who were present.
The meeting was little late in
starting, owing to an evident spirit OF
tifnidity on the part of some, who
remained discreetly on the out
side. After some delay, however, the
true believers were assembled within
the railing of the court room, while a
fringe Of Democrats and regular Re-
publicans decorated the outer seats,
and tried to look like innocent by
ISLANDERS.

mated by M. L. Anderson to extend the
call in Pensacola on behalf of the
order. and stated the object to be to
name some delegates to the state
meeting to be held at Ocala on July
81 to nominate a state ticket and
select delegates to the national con-
vention, which will be held In Chicago
August s. Mr.. Hardesty was elected
chairman and A r. Bingham secre-
tary, in order that delegates might
be properly accredited to the state
meeting.
The chairman called for volunteers
for the position of delegate, explaining
that whoever went to Ocala would
have to pay his own way. as the party
was ABSOLUTELY without funds. This
announcement seemed to act as a de-
terfant. fer no one volunteered. After
some delay a motion was carried that
the chairman appoint five delegates,
in the expectation that out Of the
number one or more would go. In
pursuance Of this motion the chairman
named ]. A, Lewis, w. r. Stanley and
A. r. Bingham. Two more will be
named BY him within a day or two.
The chairman called attention to the
fact that the Oeala convention would
nominate full state ticket, and urged
upon the delegates the Importance of
endeavofing to have this part of the
state represented. After some destii-
