MANY EXAGGERATED REPORTS
UNTRUE AND SENSATIONAL AC.
COUNTS OF JAIL DELIVERY.
In Some of Them Not Single Fact
Connected With Assault Upon
JaiIer Is Correctly Stated.

Many sensational and exaggerated
accounts of the recent assault upon
Deputy Sheriff Slade by the prisoners
in the Terrell county Jail in an eff
fort to escape have been printed by
the daily newspapers of this and
other states and in not one of them
have the facts been correctly given,
while in many of them not a single
thing connected with the affair has
been truthfully reported.
When it is known that Deputy
Slade and his wife have grandchil-
dren, that Mrs. Slade did not seize
a rifle when she heard the cries of
her husband, that there were only
seven prisoners in Jail, that only
two got out and that but one was
shot the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the fol.
lowing account of the affair, which
was clipped from the Nashville
(Tenn.) Democrat, and mailed to US
by a reader of The News in that
state, is apparent:

In spite of the rantings and roarings

there is danger of a preponderant

just treatment extended to the Irish

loyal as Scotland to the British en-

This week the Record publishes
for the first time the announcement
of the candidacy for the lower house
of the Legislative Assembly of Rein
hold T. Batter, of Hazelton. Mr..
Batter is a member of the we'll.
known and highiy-respected family
of Hazelton business men Of that
name. and every one whom we have
heard speak of his candidacy has
been favorable to it. As Linton
business man remarked: He is q
straight, clean. upright, intelligent
young man, and. if elected. will be
a credit to the district and county"
He was born in Morrison county,
Mimi. of German descent. and is a
graduate of the law school of the
University of Minnesota. Being
engaged in business at Hazelton, he
has not applied for admission to
the North Dakota bar. He is twen-
ty-four years of age. and his candi-
dacy is particularly pleasing to the
many bright and energetic young
men of the county who will soon
have to take the interest, and some
of them the honors, in public affairs
that have been borne by men who
have grown old in Emmons county.
Here's wishing political success to
young Mr.. Batter.

In the tenth inning a couple of

who also did fine work. Both teams
showed lack of practice and the hit
ting was rather poor. Occasional
good plays and misplays character
lied the work of both sides; but, al
together, the men gave promise Of
rounding into form that bids fair
for some tight and interesting games
between the two towns this summer.
| A large number of rooters from
the town up north accompanied their
team on its first game and conquest
of the season; the attendance gener-
ally being poor, however. because of
I the disagreeable weather.
Arrangements are being made for
a return game at Hazelton week
from next Sunday. and it is safe to
say ttha it will be we'll attended, for
the work of last Sunday has caused
a considerable amount of enthusiasm
among the hackers of both teams.

Linton Loses Ball Game.

Five to three was the way the
score sheet looked when Hazeltcn
got through with Linton last Sunday
afternoon in the opening game of
the season. The only comfort for
the Linton fans was in the fact that
it took ten innings to do it.
After postponing the game for a
week because of rain, the Iiazelton
folks journeyed to Linton last Sum
day and met the local aggregation,
with the above result. Even then.
the weather was anything but base
ball weather. A cold wind from the
north made it hard for the players
to get in action and also hard to
judge the ball. For nine innings it
was impossible to pick the winner,
as first one side and then the other
would succeed in pushing man
across the plate. Hazelton scored
once in the first inning and Linton
came back couple of innings later
in like manner. Hazelton again
took the lead few minutes later,
only to be again tied by the locals.
IN the eighth inning and again in
the ninthit looked like Linton vic
tory. In the first half of the eighth
the heavy hitters of the Hazelton
aggregation were disposed of with
out serious damage, while Linton in

Automobile Organization Formed.


The meeting of automobile owners
Of the county which was scheduled to
ltake place in Linton last Saturday
night was postponed until the next
day, because it was thus possible to
secure better attendance.
After the baseball game meet
ling was held in the band-room and
an organization perfected. En-
mons County Automobile Association
is the name Of the new club, and it
is to be governed by an executive
committee of eight members, rep
resenting the various towns of the
county. and secretary treasurer.
1t was decided to have the Linton
representative act as chairman of
the committee and to pick the Sec
retary-treasurer from Linton.
Following are the names of
the members of the executive COM
mittee and the towns they represent:
j. H. Reamer, chairman, Linton; w.
L. Yeater, Hazelton: M. p. Kaiser.
Braddock; r. f. Mote, Kintyre;
Fred Snyder, Temvik; X. l.. Meier,
Strasburg; II. M. Volk, Hague; and
C. Rowerdink, Westtield; F. b.
Streeter. Linton. secretary-treas-
urer.
The secretary was instructed to
notify the members Of the committee
that there would be meeting Of
that body in Linton on May Goth,
at which time they would go before
the hoard of commissioners relative
to securing county assistance in fix
ing some of the highways of the
county so that they would be in shape
for automobile travel and to deter.
mine. their position on any question
pertaining to the matter.
At the present time there is more
than 5000 in the county treasury
which has been turned over to the
county's use for road work, and is
the proceeds from the annual auto
mobile tax. 1t is hoped that the
committe will be able to secure this
money for use on highways between
towns.
The member of the executive COM
mittee from each town will have
charge of all matters pertaining to
local road-work, and will have charge
of any money collected from auto
mobile owners in that town. He will
work in conjunction with the other
members of the committee in mat
tiers pertaining I. the general well
fare of the county association.
Persons in the country owning cars
will look to the member of the COM
mittee from the town nearest him
for any help on roads which he may
desire.
The ultimate aim of the associa-
tion is to better road conditions,
arrange for the placi,sg of guide
posts at the crossroads, ard warm
ing signs near places of danger and
to generally enlighten all the mem
bers as to road conditions Throughout
the county.
