the present time he enjoys a
larger patronage than does any
other store between Minot and
Williston. He is a hustler in
every sense Of the word and we
predict that he will help mater
tally in livening up things here
after he gets started.
N. L. Simonson, the other
member of the firm, has been
quite heavily interested in a gen.
eral store at Minot and has a
business training that is built
from the ground up. He has
been in the store business ever
since he was very young man
and during most of the time was
working with men who were
hustlers and knew how to get
and hold the trade. If there is
any patronage in the country to
get. Mr.. Simonson will invent a
way of getting and keeping it.
Bowbells is indeed to be con-
graduated on the decision of this
live firm to locate here. In ad-
dition to their good business
training both members control
almost unlimited capital which
will help them materially in
pushing themselves to the front.
1t is believed the store will open
for business in about ten DAYS.

IS BADLY BURNED
+. !. IN An EXPLOSION
Mayor Frank Smith Suffers
Severe Burns When Al
= cohol Explodes

Mayor Frank Smith on Friday
morning of last week received
very. severe burns about the face
as a result Of a denatured alcohol
explosion while in the act of
lighting the oil stove which heats
the water in his tonsorial par
lors. He poured out the usual
amount Of alcohol into the gen.
Grating cup and after it had
burned out he turned on the
stove. AS the generator was not
hot enough he turned it out and
poured some more alcohol into
the cup and when he ignited it
the explosion took place. Mr..
Smith got the full benefit of the
explosion in the face and besides
scorching his hair and eyebrows
almost his entire countenance
was made a mass of sores. When
the explosion took place the
burning alcohol was thrown into
his eyes and about his cheeks.
He finally smothered the flames
with a towel. In telling The
Tribune about the affair the
Mayor told us that he had been
in the habit Of using wood alcohol
in generating the stove and had
reflled tae5@cup, or a great many

cup had failed tqsnlaks, the gen.

stuff is made destructive to life

sene making the latter more ex-
plosive.

J. E. Emerson of North Star

an addition to his residence at a

T. O. Hunter started yester-
day afternoon cutting his g. acre
field of winter rye just east of
the city and expects to have
same threshed before the first of

ed last fall to rye by Mr.. Hunter
as an experiment and from the
looks of things now it is gong to
be the best paying crop raised
on the farm this season. Mr..
Hunter feels highly elated over
it and intends to put in at least
80 acres of the same grain early
this fall.

Our good friend, William Grill,
from the hills country was in the
city Monday afternoon looking
after some business matters and
favored this office with a call.
Mr.. Grill is one Of the strongest
socialists in the hills country and
assured us that he was very con-
fident that his party would poll
at least 500 votes solid next fall.
He was quite certain that at
least one or two Socialists would
be elected to county Offices and
possibly more. In all cases where
there are three or more candi-
dates for any Office the Socialists
would stand a very good chance
of landing their candidates if
they all stuck to him and The
Tribune agrees with Mr.. Grill
that it would be a hard matter
to shut out this party at the gen
eral election next fall.
The Burke County Investment
Company last week traded three
quarter sections Of land in the
hills country to the Hudson Thur
Der Company Of Minneapolis for
three Bergdoll touring cars. The
cars were shipped from the fac
tory Immediately after the deal
was made and they arrived here
Monday morning. The cars will
be, stored here by the local com
pany and will be held for sale.
They are very classy in every

Miss Elenor Skinner of north
of the city spent Wednesday at
Kenmare as guest of friends.
Geo. H. Hollister and wife of
Fargo and M. R. Porter of Minot
were in Bowbells a few hours
Monday afternoon, and took din
ner at the home of Attorney Geo.
H. Phelps, the former being old
friends and neighbors of Mr.. and
Mrs. Phelps. Mr.. Hollister is
president of the Northern Trust
Co., and is making an automo-
bile trip through the state, hav-
ing driven from Fargo to Crosby.
He reports that crops between
Crosby and this city were the
best he had seen on his entire
trip of 900 miles.
That gooseberry patch at the
N. C. Alderman farm just east
of the city is just as productive
this year as it has been in the
past and probably more so. Mrs.
Alderman last Friday gave The
Tribune a couple branches cut
from the gooseberry patch which
were literally loaded down with
fruit. Though the berries were
not as large as they were last
year there seems to be great
many more on the branches and
the fruit is more delicious. This
variety of berries produces more
for the labor required to raise
them than any other North d.
kota fruit that we know of, and
the Alderman patch seems to
bear more profuselv than any
other patch in this section of the
country.
The treasurer's report of Kan
diyohi, Carter, Lucy, Elgie,
Beck, Little Butte and Clayton
school districts appear in this
issue of The Tribune and a per-
usal of them show that all dis
tricts are in good financial con-
dition and are ably and econom-
ically managed by the different
school boards in charge of them.
All show very little indebtedness
and all are now doing business
on a cash basis. We doubt if
any other set of districts in the
state can show as good a bunch
of statements as are published
in this issue of The Tribune.
Efficient school boards make the
treasurer's reports look prosper
GUS and for efficiency nothing in
the state will skin the school
officers in Burke county.

Miss Florence Downie, deputy
in the Office of the county super
intendent of schools, while at
her home near Lignite last Sat-
urday contracted a case of poison
on the left side of her face which
is causing her no end of incon-

strawberries at the time in some
brush near her home and she be-
lieves that she was scratched by
a twig Of poison ivy. This is the
second time she has undergone
an experience Of this kind, hav-

SURPRISE SPRUNG
 BY PROSECUTION
CIPHER OF IRON WORKERS JUN. ION IS DISCLOSED DURING
 TRIAL OF DARROW.
Latter Acknowledges Sending Tele- grams Regarding lndianapo-
 lis Evidence.

Los Angeles. Cal, July 31.-Strik- ing at the main reliance of the de- fense that it had been agreed to have the McNamaras plead guilty be- fore the bribery charges--the prose cution in the trial of Clarence S. Dar- rcw produced evidence today purport ing to refute any such claim. The evidence consisted 0f telegrams which tended to show that Darrow had authorized on the day after Bert Franklin's arrest an expenditure of $1.000 to regain documentary evidence seized by Indianapolis authorities.
 After deyoting nearly the entire day to cross continuation, which re- volved around the Indianapolis end Of the McNamara case, Assistant District Attorney Ford produced a code tele- gram sent by Leo M. Rappaport of Indianapolis, attorney for the Interna- tional Association of Bridge and Structural !!..e;i Workers, addressed to Darrow and dated November 29. 1911 He asked Darrow to identify it. and the witness, with a smile, said he probably could if 1t were translated to him. Ford immediately called for a blackboard and wrote the crypto- gram and it's translation upon it. The message, as translated, read
 May l spend thousand to regain Indianapolis evidence2'
 Another telegram sent by Darrow to Rappaport the same day was then produced, which, deciphered, read
 May spend thousand if necessary. z Another code message dated De- cember, the day of the pleas, revoked the authorization to spend the money. The defense apparently was surprised to learn the prosecution had the key to the code used by the McNamara defense. Ford said he had worked it out himself.
 Darrow explained the telegrams passing between himself and Kappa port by saying they followed corre- spondenee of an earlier date. The h. dianapolis evidence sought by the de- fense consisted of correspondence filed belonging to the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, first seized by Indiana authorities and later taken by fed eral officials.
 We did want those documents and we want them now" Darrow declared T instructed Rappaport to use every legal means to recover them
 T sent the telegram to Rappapori on December l, telling him not tc spend the money because l had learn ed that the American Federation ol Labor was not to furnish me any more funds and wanted to save { 1 thousand dollars if could"
 Darrow's movements from the tinis of the McNamara arrests until tn, beginning of the trial and his rela tions with leaders of union labor wer, gone into at length. with apparentl. no new developments.
