VICE PRES. SHERMAN
DIED LAST NIGHT
DEATH OF JAMES SCHOOLCRAFT
SHERMAN, AT UTICA,
.. ss NEW YORK.
Utica, N. Y, Oct. 31.-Vice Pres
ident James S. Sherman died at 9:42
O'Clock last night. He had been un-
conscious for hours before the end
No Precedents Found.

No precedents were found cover
ing the withdrawal or death of
vice presidential nominee before the
November election. Inasmuch as
party procedure is not governed by
statute, some parliamentarians
said the party had the legal right
to handle the situation in whatever
manner II pleased.
The opinion was expressed that
this would result in the national or
executive committee selecting a sub
stitute candidate and printing his
name on the ballot in states where
the tickets have not already been
sent to the press.
It is contended that since con-
gress amended the manner of can
vassing the ballots in 1897 as a re-
suit Of the Hayes-Tilden contest,
votes for a candidate dying between
the November election and the meet
ing Of the electoral college, on the
second Monday in January, must be
counted by congress, unless they are
held to be votes not regularly CIV
en-. y The law says that "No cleo
toral vote or votes from any state
which shall have been regularly
given, from which but one return
has been received, shall be rejected"
The most serious situation which
could develop, it is said, is from the
death Of a choice Of the electoral
ccltege hetwsen the time the college
voted m sthc second Monday III !, ,,an-
3uary- and the Inauguration on March

gress to provide by law for the devo-

FEED AND SEED FOR TWO YEARS

One result of the present crop
yield will be that farmers of North
Dakota will have seed and feed for
stock for at least two years. The
oats crop has been an immense one,
and while the prices for wheat and
fax and other grain have not held as
high as last year, owing to the big
crops throughout the country, yet
the saving of feed will be big source
of profit to every farmer in the state.
Oats are now very cheap and will no
doubt remain so.
The cost of harvesting and thresh-
ing the present crop has been the
heaviest in the history of the state.
The experience this year may be
beneficial to farmers in other years,
in case such bumper crops should
be raised.
Threshing is nearly all completed
in this locality. In fact, in the east
ern and northern parts of the county
the greater part of the work has been
completed and threshing rigs have
pulled in. The last two weeks of
good weather and the plenty of ma
chimes have made a great difference
and completed the threshing that
seemed at one time might not be fin
ished this fall.
New granaries are to be seen all
over the county. Some are at the
farm yard, but many have been built
in the fields and grain stored in
them. In some cases grain has been
run out on the ground to be covered
with straw and left temporarily un-
til there could be time to haul it
away. Only a little plowing has been
done so far. Much feed has been lost
in the fields and farmers are letting
stock rustic in the stubble to pick up
a great deal Of good feed.

MANY CHANGES
Same Changes Seen in Illinois and
Iowa

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-A careful can
vass has been made of the situation
in Indiana by the Republican ma
tional committee. The chairman of
the county committees in nearly ev-
cry county in Indiana has given the
subject attention. Their reports are
that Wilson will fail far behind the
vote for Bryan in 1908, and that
many Democratic farmers are sup
porting Taft.
"The normal Republican majority
in Indiana is about $4,000, although
in recent years at state elections it
has gone Democratic on the temper
ance issue. The supreme issue this
year is the tariff question. High
prices for farm products, high pric-
es for labor and employment for ev-
cry man who wants a job, is doing
more to make votes for President
Taft than anything else.
"In 1896 the situation was similar
to the present one. Thousands of
Republicans left the party in June
only to return in November. Thous-
ands Of Democrats then loyalty sup
ported the Republican party on the
money question, just as they are go
ing to do this year on the tariff ques-
ton. In 1896 the Democrats car
ried Indiana in August and, Septem-
Der. and we carried it in November.
This year the Progressives carried
it in August, the Democrats in Sep
tember and we will again carry it in
November.
The same conditions apply in Iowa
where poll of the state which In
cluded 64 of the 80 counties indi-
Gates that Taft will carry Iowa by
between $1,000 and 10000. There
is decided falling OF Of Democratic
business men and farmers from VIII
son. Governor Wilson's free trade
views and the experience OF a for
mer Democratic administration are
leading factors in this change Of
sentiment In Iowa.
The same sentiment and changes
are reported in Minnesota. Since
the primaries the drift of favorable
opinion for retaining the Republi-
can policies has been steadily for
Taft and the entire Republican
ticket. #
In Illinois the people are awaken
ing to the fact that they do not want
any change from the present con-
ditions, and many Democratic farm
,ers are expecting to vote for the Re
publican ticket for purely business
reasons.
In Montana Republican managers
claim that the state will go largely
for Taft to insure the continuance of
good times.

TERRIBLE MURDER
At DAWSON
GEORGE BAKER RETURNS FROM
CALIFORNIA, KILLS HIS WIFE
AND FATHER-IN-LAW.

Dawson, Oct. 31.-(Special.) -
George Baker, who has been resid-
ing for the past six or seven months
in California, arrived at Dawson on
) No. Is this morning at $3.50. and af-
! ter eating breakfast at q hotel, went
to the home of his father-in-law,
Thomas e. Glass, who lived in Daw-
son with his daughter, Mrs. George
Baker. As soon as Baker reached
the residence and was admitted to
the house, he opened fire with a re-
volver on both Mr.. Glass and Mrs.
Baker. He fired three shots into
each of his victims, killing them al
most instantly. Mr.. Glass was shot
in the mouth, body and back, and his
daughter was shot in the head,
stomach and one Of her limbs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker had two chill
dren, one of whom was at the house
at the time. Baker dressed the lit
tie boy and was coming out Of the
house with him when arrested by
the constable. The other child, a
girl, was visiting neighbors. Baker
was taken to the county jail at
Steele. Indignation runs high at
Dawson and there are many threats
of lynching.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker were married
about seven years ago, and recently
Mrs. Baker learned that her hus-
band had married her under an as
sumed name She wrote to her
father at Dawson and he sent her
money to come back to his home
and bring the children, which she
did, having arrived only a short
time ago. It is supposed that there
were other family troubles which
caused her TO leave Baker, but little
iss kno~n about them:
Thomas Glass was an old settler
in Dawson, q retired farmer, and
was well known along the N. p, by
which company he had been em-
ployed in past years. both at Daw-
son and Medina. He has three sons
all employed by the N. P. railroad; :
G. e. Glass, engineer; VIM. Glass,
conductor, and Walter Glass, fire-
man.
After being arrested, Baker said
little about the cause for his terri
BILE act, but claimed that he wanted
the children. Hes was arrested
about block from the resi-
denee as he was trying to get away
with the little boy. The crime was
committed between z and 1880 a..
m., and happened within five min
utes after Baker entered the house.
The people of Dawson are terribly
worked up over the affair. as both
Mr.. Glass and Mrs. Baker we're high
ly esteemed and we'll known resi-
dents OF the town.

TO
CANN0NBALL LINE
NORTHERN PACIFIC FILES Of
FIcIAL NOTICE OF CON-
STItUCTION OF ROAD.

time 1t has been rumOred that the
Northern Pacific railway intended
to construct line from Edgeley on
west across the Missouri river to
connect with it's Missouri river line
at Cannon Ball, but there seemed to
have been no positive information
on the subject until yesterday, when
the Northern Pacific company fled
it's resolutions with the secretary of
state, authorizing the same.
This will be an extension of the
Fargo Southwestern branch which
runs from Fargo through Lisbon
and LaMoure to Edgeley, and there
are rumOrs that it is to become one
of the main lines of the system to
the coast.
This connecting link will be 10
miles long, thereby making Edgeley
a freight division point, with Fargo
and Cannon Ball the terminals Of
the passenger division. 1t is also
reported that it is the intention of
the company to make Cannon Ball
an important poin! for the company.
and it will undoubtedly become quite
; a railroad town. Cannon Ball is
naturally center, as one will see
by the map, and it is reasonable to
see the possible intentions of the
company, as there is practically an
empire in that section of country to
be served.
The road is graded from Cannon
Ball south through Fort Yates, on
down into South Dakota, and it is
reported that this will be ironed
during the coming summer. BY
this means it will be seen that Cam
non Ball is to become quite an Inn
portant junction point.
This connecting link from Edge
ley to Cannon Ball will prove of
great interest and benefit to the
towns along the Southwestern
branch. as :hey have waited patient
ly for thirtv years for an improve
ment in train service. 1t means
| that within few years they will
have more trains, including a coast
train service, which will very much
improve the conditions which have
existed for many years.
The resolution authorizing this
extension of the Southwestern
branch referred to in this article
was passed at meeting of the board
of directors of the Northern Pacific
railway company, held in New York;
city, on the 14t1 day of October.
1912, and is copied from the orig
ma, now on file in the Office OF the
secretary of state.
Resolved: That this company
build branch line Of railroad COM
mencing at the town of Edgeley ON
the Fargo and Southwestern branch
in section thirty-five (35), town
ship one hundred thirty-four (134)
north, range sixty-four (64) east,
in LaMoure county, North Dakota,
running thence westerly across the
Missouri river and northerly to q
point of connection with the rail-
road line Of the Missouri River rail-
way company, in section twenty
three (23), township one hundred
thirty-four (134) north, range sew
enty-nine (79) west, in Morton
county. The names Of the counties
in which said branch line Of rail-
road is intended to be made are:
LaMoure, Logan, Emmons and Nor
ton. The estimated length Of such
branch is one hundred and ten(1lO)
miles, or less.
Signed and sealed on the 18th
day of October, 1912, by Howard
Elliott. president, and George H.
Earl, secretary Of the Northern Pa
cific.
