4 There are many other smaller towns
mentioned where the number ii not
so great but these, were also sent
to the secretary and it is believed that
arrangements will be made to bring
the men from Kansas to this state.
Secretary Stine returned yesterday
from the twin cities where he went
to have a conference with the rail-
road magnates on the shortage of
men problem and without exception
the officials informed Mr.. Slime that
they were having the same hard work
in locating men for railroad work as
we're the farmers of North Dakota
and other places in the northwest.
Each and every railroad official said
that the railroads were all doing ev-
erything in their power to see that
men were sent into the states of North
Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota
and they all hoped that there would
be sufficient men.
"One of the railroad men said to
me-" reported Mr.. Stine, that If the
worst came to the worst, it would
head and the other citizens of North
Dakota and the Red river valley to
go out in the fields themselves and
act the part of farm hands. The Of
fetal said to me that he didn't think
it would work any great hardship on
the part of the average citizen of any
city in the state to do this work, but
that he hoped with what the rail-
road men were doing to relieve the
situation
"My trip was very pleasant and I
believe that in times to- come 1t will
be most profitable to the people of
this community. OF course matters
came up at the several conferences
that were held that cannot at this
time be given to the public, but they
will soon develop sufficiently even for
that We are doing our best to get
the laborers here for the harvest and
on the train that came up on last
night the coaches were filed 20 over
flowing and the conductor told me
that a second section was following
that was crowded in the same way"

Chicago, Aug. 6.--When employees
of the Mills aviator company slid back
the door of the hangar at the fIyina
field at Sixty ninth street and Stewart
avenue to drag out their trusty BIZ

machine was gone.
They learned that there was an
aeroplane, Grated and ready for ship

shy AT NEW PARTY.

Valley City, NJ D., Aug. 6.-The
regular progressive republican or
ganization of North Dakota is not
yet ready to align itself with the
third party movement, that fact
being made evident at the con-
ference which was held here last
Thursday. At that time the lead
ers expressed themselves as be-
ing opposed to joining in the new
party movement at this time, al
though many are inclined to take
the step after the Chicago con-
vention.
This conference was called for
the purpose of closing up the r.
nancial affairs of the last cam
patgn.
The proposition of placing
state ticket in the field in North
Dakota probably will be decided
at Chicago this week, and the
delegates from the state to the
third party convention expect to
hold a conference with Colonel
Roosevelt. 1t is generally recog-
nized that he will be the court of
last resort in the matter of plac-
ing such ticket.

Erie, N. D., Aug. 6.-The safe in
the postoffice at this place was blown
last night and $110 in cash secured
by the robbers. The postoffice is in
the general store of Mohser & Nutting
and of the cash secured $50 belonged
to the postofice and $50 to the store.
Entrance was gained by breaking in
the back door. The robbery was not
discovered until this morning. 1t is
evident that II was the work of clever
crooks. A number of stamps were de-

NO DEFINITE
CLUE TO The
MURDER CASE
Eye Witness Of the Shooting
Tells StSry
Miss Grace Cooper Saw the
Flash From Gun
Many RumOrs About Streets
Without Foundation

Until noon today no definite clue to
the murderer of Julius Hanson had
yet been established although it is un-
derstood the police and county officia1s
are working on different reports which
have been given them. A rumor went
abroad this morning that certain
man had not only been suspected of
the crime but was placed under ar
rest. This was denied at 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
Naturally many stories have arisen
in various quarters and at different
times since the murder took place, at
midnight Saturday, the finger of sus-
picton has been pointed in the direc-
ton of one or two who were seen near
the murder about the time it occurred.
But each OF these have proven
groundleSs theories.
Another story current on the streets
this morning was that a certain young
man who had been under suspicion
had voluntarily given himself up to
the police. This was without founda-
tion.
The report of the robbery of four
stores at Argusville last night and
that swo suspicious looking characters
had been seen there yesterday after
noon again gives rise to the first
theory OF the cause Of the murder,
that a hoIdup was the sole intention
Of the two masked men who shot
young Hanson.
Miss Cooper Heard Shots.
A little more light was Shrown on
the murder this morning by one of
the eye witnesses, who lis Miss Grace
Cooper, the obliging young clerk be-
hind the soda fountain at the Central
drug store on Broadway. Miss Cooper
was going home from work at late
hour and was escorted by a friend who
was trifie late in coming for her.
The two young people were cutting
across a vacant lot just opposite the
Lincoln school when the shot was Ar
ed. They turned just in time to hear
the report of the gun. Miss Cooper
describes the recollection of the af-
fair as having almost been able ITO
see sparks as the gun was fred"

she said. And then we heard the re-
port OF the gun. There were figures

was 80 dark we couldn't distinguish
any OF them I didn't even see the man
stagger or fall to the ground after he
had been shot, 1t was so dark

and some other people Joined us from
across the street. In about moment
there was another person Joined us.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The national pro-
gressive party, which is being born in
Chicago this week, will not lack for
leaders. Theodore Roosevelt and Sena-
tor Dixon of course will be the big
gest guns in the party during the presi-
dental campaign; but three other
leaders might be mentioned who
will play no inconspicuous part. They
are Gov. Hiram Johnson, of California;
Boss" William Finn, Of Pittsburg,
and George w. Perkins, of New York.
Governor Johnson appears to be the
strongest candidate for the vice presi-
Dental nomination, but whether he
is named as Roosevelt's running
mate or not, he will take a very
active part in the campaign.
Governor Johnson is counted upon to
lead the Pacific coast states into the
bull moose camp. He is well known
in the far west and will confine his
stumping largely to that section Of

speeches in the east and middle west,
however, and may even invade the

William Finn seems to be a power
in Pennsylvania. The success of
Roosevelt in the Pennsylvania pri-
maries last spring, indicated the
strength of the Pittsburg boss in the
keystone state. Roosevelt will de-
pend upon him to lead the fight in
that state and bring 1t over into the
national progressive column this fall.

The Democratic Mo0GnPIeCS
bors hard to make the impression
that A. J1d Fmdley is. a lawyer OF
towering ability. experience and
brilliancy.
There is nothing in the records OF
the courts here to sustain such big
oted assertion.
what has Findley ever done in
the courts? Where has he ever
made himself eminent as a lawyer?
what wise counsel has he ever
given? What high or low criminal
did he ever send over the roads!
Whom did he ever send to prison
or have hanged? Whom did he
ever save from prison or the gal
lows?
These are questions his advocates
should answer before vainly boast
ing Of his ability and what he would
do If elected prosecuting attorney
There is one thing that every one
knows is true Of Findley and that is
that he is a Democrat when It IS
his interest to be one In other
words. when he is running for OF
fee he is Democrat. When he IS
not running for Office. he is bolter-
This has been proved by his own
acts and can rot be contradfcted- y
when the Democratic party q few!
years ago hadz democratic mayor
and a Democratic chief Of police in
ctarksburg, Findley led movement
IN the city convention to defeat the
chief Of police for denomination and
there was nothing too bad for him
to say against the chief, Findley
led a movement of opposition to the
Democratic ticket in the campaign
and aided in the defeat OF that
ticket. If FindIey had been run
ming ON the democratic ticket at the
time, he would not have bolted, but
he was not running and that fact
measured the degree OF his Democ-
racy then.
when the democratic county
chairman came out for nomination
for prosecuting attorney the sum
mer just ended, FINLEY was repre-
sented in the newspaper that now
advocates his election as the one
man who had really elected W.
CIV Tetrick clerk. the late NJ. J.
francis sheriff and, John W.. Davis
congressman This was preached IN
his favor and it was argued that the
nomination should be his reward
The county chairman, it was urged
deserved nothing. not even the hon
or OF nomination, because Findley
was the man s@hoshad brought abou-
Democratic victory. II was stuffed
down the throats of enough Demo
Gratis to give him the nomination
And. now after all this time ne
is posing as one without any brand
of politics. He is simply for Find
ley and that is all there is to it. he
is a Democrat now because he IS
running.
If 3. D. Lewis had gotten the
nomination, Findley would now be
bolter the same as he USUALLY IS
when not running for Office himself
The course pursued by him en-
titles Findley to neither Democratic
nor Republican support. His fitness
for the Office is on a par with ms
