NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST
BURLEIGH COUNTY HAS
SETTLING POLITICAL FIGHT

While the democrats expect to elect
their candidate for sheriff, they real
ize that in SO doing they will break all
records. Burleigh county a ever
been the stronghold OF stalwarts n
a democratic victory would be little
have even greater aspirations than
this. They are also seeking to elect
Charles Glitschka as state senator,
and defeat e. A. Hughes, the republic
can candidate. Hughes is the head of
the Hughes Electric Co, the Bismarck
light and power corporation, and the
fact that he is a corporation man is
being used to influence the rme
against him.
T. r. Mockler, progressive commit
teeman from this district, has also nj
ed his petition with County Auditor
Flaherty as a candidate for state SEN
ator under the individual nominal
tons. The ~progressfves intended to
place an entire county ticket in the
field. However, their ticket simrnered
down to c%andidats for register of deeds,
judge of the county court and state
senator.
John Fort. present register OF deeds,
is the progressive candidate for county
judge and August Anderson, his dep
uty, is progressive candidate for reg
lister of deeds. Their petitions were
filed two weeks ago.. Recent develop
ments have complicated affairs, how
ever. $50
w. P. Costello, nominated by the re-
publican party as candidate for county
Judge at the June primaries, has filed
a protest with the county auditor pro-
testing against the name of Mr.. Fort
appearing upon the general election
ballot. Mr.. Costello's claims r that
the petitions filed by Mr.. Fort with
County Auditor FIaherty did not con-
tain the names of sufficient voters
addresses added. A similar protest
against the placing Of the name of
August Anderson on the general cleo
ton ballot as a candidate for register
of deeds was filed by G. J. Keenan,, re-
publican nominee for that of1ce. The
states attorney has advised County
Auditor Flaherty that unless there are
77cient number OF names to the
petitions with the correct postoffice
addresses he shall not place the names
of Mr.. Fort and Mr.. Anderson upon the
ballot. Mr.. Flaherty has announced
that he would govern his actions in
accordance with the opinion handed
down by the states attorney. In con-
sequence mandamus proceedings will
be started Monday by Mr.. Fort and
Mr.. Anderson to compel Auditor Fla
merry TO place Inelf names Oh the DoA-
lot. The official ballots cannot be
printed until the question is settled,
and with the election but two weeks
distant there is great u~neasiness on
this score.
With county politics at fever heat
little attention is being paid to nation
al politics. Present indications are
that Wilson has a splendid chance to
carry the county, although the demo-
Gratis themselves concede Hanna a plu-
raIitv etWee 400 and 500.

NARROW ESCAPE
FOR G. F. boy

Grand Forks. N. d. Oct. 21.-Rob-
ert Petite. aged 19. was nearly killed on
the Third street crossing just off Kit
son avenue about $3.50 O'Clock Satur-
day afternoon, escaping only by jump
ing from the wagon box in which he
was riding and which was smashed to
kindling an instant later.
The lad drove his horses on to the
track before he discovered a caboose
just beyond which was a locomotive,
bearing down on him. AS he saw the
caboose coming toward him he tried
to jerk the horses back, but they
jumped forward, while he himself
leaped for safety. He was still in the
air when the wagon was struck by
the caboose and smashed to bits.
Young Petite. was only slightly
bruised, hurting one knee in hitting
the pavement. The horses were not
scratched, although they were pulled
down the track several feet by the
tongue of the wagon before they were
freed.
The boy is a son Of John Petite,
the market gardener residing on Min
nesota point.
The crossing gates were not down
at the time, and the boy says he didn't
hear any warning bells.

WELL LAID PLAN
WENT WRONG WAY
AN ATTEMPT TO TRAP GRAIN
THIEVES RESULTED IN A
JOKE ON TRAPPERS.

Perth. N. d.. Oct. 21.-Three fell
lows drifted into Perth some time ago
found work as threshers. Last
week one of them approached one of
the elevator agents, asking whether he
Kept his elevator open during the
night. He further intimated that he
would perhaps bring a load of wheat
to town late that night. The agent
assured III fellow that he would keep
open all night in order to accommo

c~uInstances looking rather suspicious,
the agent quietly informed the au-
thorities and after due consultation
preparations were made to capture a
possible wheat thief. John Mullet,
James Taylor and Art Booth made due
preparations for a nights vigil, and
some time during the night their eff
forts We're rewarded by hearing a team
being driven into town, and up to the
elevator In question.
Taylor and Booth were armed, but
Mullet having nothing with him x
eept a firm determination, decided to
go nome n get his shotgun. In
the meantime Taylor and Booth ap-
preached the elevator and could hear
conversation in. low tones and the
usual noise emanating when grain is
handled. Mullet, not having returned

the reinforcements arrived before
tackling the job of arresting what evil
IDENTIFY was a bunch Of desperadoes.
1t seems, though, that Mullet had mis-
laid his fowling piece and his best eff
forts failed to locate it, he therefore
did the next best thing by arousing
some of the neighbors whom he knew
had guns that were not mislaid. He
succeeded in interesting the officials OF

u time the cavalcade marched
quietly to the expected field of battle.
Although Mullet had no doubt used
every possible despatch in rounding up

coming nervous had decided to play
a one hand and capture the thief
single handed. He cautiously entered
the elevator and keeping in the shad-

the men standing by the scales. Just
as he was about to command hands
up" he noted a familiar note in the
voices and looking closer, he saw that
the supposed midnight pilferer was a
well known farmer living a short dis
lance from Perth. 1t is needless to
say that. he very quietly withdrew and
hastened to intercept the posse which
could be seen approaching in the dis
lance in battle array. After a hasty
explanation all again wendell their
way homeward, but a suspicion seems
to Turk that some n put up a job.

Aberdeen. S. d., oct. 21.--A state
ment in a local paper that Gen. Sam
uel H. Jumper, assistant postmaster,

BOLTON ESTATE
IN CONTROVERSY

Mandan News: Another interesting
case has grown out Of the recent
Shields shoot-fest. which cost Guy
Bolton his life, and that is the ques-
ton whether Mrs. Myrtle Bolton was
the legal wife Of the deceased. The
issue was recently argued before the
probate judge Of Burleigh county in
connection with settling Bottoms es-
tate, Atty. William LANCER of this city
representing Mrs. Bolton. The de-
cision was unfavorable to her, and Mr..
LANCER has appealed the case to the
district court. The facts OF the case
are as given below:
Mrs. George Upright OF Bismarck,
mother of the late Guy Bolton, ap-
piled for letters Of administration in
the matter of the estate of her de-
ceased son, alleging to be his only Ie-
gal heir. Myrtle Bolton also asked to
be appointed administrators alleging
to be the wife OF the late Guy Bolton.
The county Judge after hearing the
evidence adduced by both parties de-
cided in favor of Mrs. Upright.
During the hearing it was brought
out that Myrtle Bolton married a
man named Reynolds in Iowa, in 1902.
ne lived with him four years. and
then he deserted her. without secur-
ing a divorce she married another
man named Wright. early in 1911.
Evidently their welded life was not
agreeable for in April, 1911. she APP
piled for a divorce from Wright,
which was granted Ang. 20, 1912.
June 10, 1912, two months before
her divorce was granted, she married
Guy Bolton, in this city, she then bear
Ing theN lame of Myrtle Reynolds. 1t
seems, therefore, that she had at the
time two husbands living from whom
she had not been legally separated.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct, 21.-while
Burleigh county has always been ac-
counted a veritable political hotbed
never before In it's history has such a
tumultuous series or events occupied
the attention of the voters as those of
the present day.
The sensation of the hour is the
procedure which has just commenced
having for it's purpose the busting of
Sheriff Frank Barnes from office, and
, on the verge of election with Mr..
Barnes a candidate for the second
term. The novelty of the case and the
filing Of the preliminary papers at this
critical time has left the voters breath
lessty awaiting the next turn of the
wheel.
Mr.. Barnes is charged in an accusa-
ton filed with District Judge Winches-
ter by +. l.. Watkins, superintendent of
the North Dakota Enforcement league,
with having frequented places where
beer was being sold, and with having
been seen drinking in such places
within the county, without reporting
the places to the states attorney, to-
gether with anne of witnesses in or
der thai the latter might prosecute the
violation Of the prohibition law. 1t is
further charged that he permitted
prisoners, committed to his keeping by
the district court, to absent themselves
from prison for long periods of time.
The arrest of J. Riley at Wing by
Constable Watkins, and the subse-
quent revelation that Riley had been
sentenced to Jail and was supposed to
be serving his sentence, was the basis
for this latter charge.
The action against Barnes is the
outgrowth Of carefully conducted in
vestigations by Constable Watkins and
Asst. Atty. Gen. F, c. Hebron Of Dick
inson. The proceedings nave been
threatened for the past eighteen
months. 1t is singularly unfortunate
for the sheriff that the accusation
should be filed against him at just this
time.
Barnes friends charge that the
custer proceedings are nothing more
nor less than a political move. Barnes
was known to have supported some OF
the anti-Patterson candidates at the
June primaries. AS a result he drew
a fire of that entire faction of h re-
publican party. The democrats, realiz-
ing the split in their opponents party
I'VE this Office, are hoping to win the
election Of Frank C%arstens, their can
didate for sheriff. 1t is significant
that the majority Of signatures affixed
TO the af1davits that were attached to
the accusation against Sheriff Barnes
were those of democrats.
The sheriff's case will probably not
be called before the district court un-
ill after election. In that case there
be some interesting complications.
If Barnes wins out at the polls in NO
vember. and is ousted shortly there
after, the custer proceedings will af-
feet only his present term, and he will
be duly sworn in again the first of the
year. Hence his opponents must &C
compIish his defeat at the polls II they
really desire to keep him down.

Grand Forks, N, D., Oct. 21.-Suf-
fering from a blow on the head dealt
either by a person or sustained in a

in he Great Northern railroad yards

in a. stupor all day at st. MichaeIs

evening only to lapse back again into
the same condition.
While he was able. to talk he told
Chief Lowe his name, but he was
unable to tell how he had been in

drinking.
The attending physician does not
believe that the injuries are serious.
The fact that he was so intoxicated
when first attended made it impossi-
bles at that time to determine the
extent of his hurts, or just how seri-
ously they have affected the man, al
though some time today hat probably
can be definitely determined.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT TO BERTH

Ryder, N, D., Oct. 21.-Arnold Sim

happen him.. He had erected the
frame work Of a barn, in which were
his horses, and was engaged in put

at the height of his neck he had occa-
sion to look over for some reason and
accordingly stuck his head in to take
a squint, when quick as flash one Of
the horses snapped at him and bit off
the end of his nose and part of the
face. 1t sounds funny, but there is no
humor in the circumstances for Mr..
Simonson, who will be disfigured for
life. He had his wound dressed here,
and her went on to the Bismarck hos
pital where he hoped to have his dis
igurement repaired somewhat by skin

PRAIRIE FIRE
WROUGHT HAVOC
HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF GRAIN
DESTROYED-LoSS ESTiMAT-
ED AT OVER 5000.

Minot, N. D., Oct. 21.-Z. Pointkow-
sky. a farmer residing in the vicinity
of Douglas, was arrested by Sheriff
Kelley. on a warrant charging him
with setting a prairie fire. Pointkow-
sky was brought to Minot and gave
bonds in the sum of 5000 for his APP
pearance before the justice of the
peace at Douglas next Wednesday aft
ernoon.
The prairie fire which Pointkowsky
is charged with having caused, was one
of the worst in the history of Ward
ccLnty. The defendant claims that a
party of campers had been on the place
the night before the fire and that when
they left in the morning they did not
extinguish their camp fire completely.
While he was getting a team of horses
ready to go out into the fields he claims
a wind famed the sparks into a blaze
and before he could get there the IRE
had gotten beyond his control. Point
kowsky's neighbors, however, claim
that he commenced TO burr a small
space for a stack of grain and that the
FIRE got beyond his control. The fire
spread rapidly, extending eastward and
travelling at terrific speed over hun
dreds OF acres Of land, destroying
everything in it's path, including sew
eral fields Of fax, stacks of grain and
hay and going over many fields cover
ed with grain in shock. At one place
d ~threshing crew had great difficulty
in saving the threshing rig. The dam
age is estimated at over $4,000.
