JUDGE WINCHESTER
OUT OF The RACE

Bismark, N. D., Oct. 23.-Judge
Walter H. Winchester, for a quarter
Of a century one of the hardest work
ers among the bench and bar of North
Dakota, has decided to seek that lei
sure to which he is entitled, and at
least secure that freedom from the
annoyances that come to a man who
consclentiously wears the ermine. He
has filed his withdrawal from the
race for judge. and after taking a
rest will no doubt give his splendid
talents to the profession which has
received so much from him.
Judge Winchester presented the fol-
lowing statement yesterday:
Bismarck, N. D., Oct. %, 1912.
To the Electors OF the Sixth Judicial
District of North Dakota: i
Since statehood I have had the hon.
or and privilege to serve as judge of
the Sixth judicial district of North
Dakota.
My petition for nomination for an
other term contained the names of a
large percentage Of the voters of the
district. ..... ...
Owing to this fact and many urgent
requests and various other reasons
was led to believe that there was
very little opposition to my re-elec-
tion. .' r...s
The result of the primary election,
however. together with certain recent
developments, have convinced me
that there is a desire in certain parts
of the district for a change and the
elevation of a younger man to fill
the office.
A personal canvass for re-elevtion
to this high and responsible position
after having held it for so many years
would be extremely distasteful to me
therefore desire to withdraw from
any further canvass and release my
friends from all obligations for their
support.
In making this statement I wish to
express my sincere thanks to the cit
izens of this district who have elect
ed me as district judge for six sue
cessive terms, covering a period OF
nearly twenty-four years.
wish especially to express my sin
cere gratitude to the people of Bur
leigh county, who have always sup
ported me and helped to keep me in
high and responsible offices for ovel
thirty years.
/ hope and trust that my successor
| may receive the same hearty encour.
agement and cooperation which have
always been extended to me in the
performance of my official duties.
Yours respectfully,
Walter III. Winchester.

FOR GAMBLERS

- Darlington, N. D.. Oct. 23.-Two men
said to be tinhorn gamblers, were
picked up by Chief of Police Swan
son and given a sentence by Police
Magistrate Pryor that will keep them
on bread and water diet for the
next eighteen days. The men gave
their names as Geo. Hayes and Geo.
Land. The former was here a year
ago and got mixed up in a gambling
deal. ,
The two gamblers were ordered from
town several days ago by Chief Swan
son. Tuesday they returned and were
arrested. When arraigned, they were
given fine of SO and ten days in the
city Jail. They refused to pay the fine,
SO, will lay 1t out on the basis of a day
extra confinement for each $1.25 of the
fine. Magistrate Pryor made the SEN
tenee read for bread and water diet.
Mrs Paul Wenling, 31S Smith St,
Peoria, Ill. had kidney and bladder
trouble, with terrible Dackache and
pain across the hips. Just imagine her
condition. She further says: II was
also very nervous, had headaches and
dizzy spells, and was fast getting
worse when took Foley Kidney Pills,
and now all my troubles are cured.
Foley Kidney Pills have done so much
for me shall always recommend them"

POTATO GROWERS
STRIKE A SNAG
RAILROAD COMPANY is UNABLE
TO FURNISH PROPER SITE
FOR A WAREHOUSE AT
BERTHoLD.

Berthold, N. D. Oct 23.-Simply be-
cause the Great Northern Railway Co.
refused to give what Ine promoters
considered a convenient and suitable
site upon which to erect a potato
warehouse both propositions that had
been under consideration all summer,
have been abandoned for the present
at least. 1t was upon the strength
of a promise that a warehouse of
sufficient capacity would be erected In
Serthold that the farmers of this COM
munity We're induced to put in about
1.5O0 acres of potatoes, believing that
no difficulty would be encountered in
securing a suitable location for the
house. However, the railway COM
pany had no site to offer except one
away down at the east end of the
railroad yards that is only accessible
by roundabout way. The promoters
Of this enterprise did not propose to
Invest $4,000 in buildings away out
in the country wrere they could not
be properly looked after and were
therefore unable to keep their promise
TO the farmers, and as result the po-
tato ra1sers were forced to build pits
Of their own. BY reason OF the url-
favorable harvest weather and the
shortage Of help the necessity of pro-
viding a safe place for keeping their
potatoes worked a great hardship upon
the growers. s,-s.,...a
To relieve the situation as far as
possible l.. R. Colvert, who is an en-
thusiasttc potato grower, has purchas-
ed a lot south of the stockyards and
is now putting in a pit 60x100 feet
with capacity Of about 10000 bushels.

WHIRLED ABOUT
ON A Big SHAFT

Keith, N. D., Oct 23.-Gilbert Gund-
erson, manager Of Dakota & Anthony
elevator at Keith, narrowly escaped
death by being caught in the set screw
on the main shaft of the machinery un-
der the elevator. Mr.. Gunderson was
soaping the pulley. the engine going,
when the sleeve of his coat caught on
the set screw and whirled him around
at terrific speed. How he escaped with
his life he nor no one else knows, for
an hour later he was found by Ole
Haultgran unconscious beneath the
shaft, terribly bruised and his clothes
In shreds. He was brought to Devils
Lake on the "dinky" and taken to the
General hospital.
Mr.. Gunderson regained conscious
ness just before he was put on the
train and though scarcely able to
speak, gave little account of how the
accident occurred. That no bones were
broken is inexplicable. He now lies
in sort of paralytic state, being un-
able to move his lower limbs, but it is
believed that he will fully recover. Mr..
and Mrs. Gunderson have made their
home in Devils Lake for some time, on
East Second street, and are well
known here.

BOYS HEAD WAS
BADLY SMASHED

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 2s.-George
Vengtear, the 14-year-old son of An
ton Vengtear, a farmer residing eight
miles from Linton, was brought to
Bismarck with his head terribly lac
Grated and crushed as the result of a
runaway. He was rushed to St Alex
1us hospital where all available means
are being used to save his life. al
though his chances for recovery are
exceedingly slim.
That the boy was not instantly kill
ed is mifcle, as a complete section
or the nasal bone below the eyes
was knocked out altogether. This is
one of the most sensitive parts of
the human head. Both of the boys
upper jaws were broken and crushed
in, and the frontal bone of his skull
was fractured above his right eye. 1t
is also believed that he received a con-
cussion of the brain.
The accident occurred about 10
o'clock Monday night. The boy was
out In the yard hitching UP the team
and one of the lines was not snapped
to the bride when the team started.
The hoy jumped into the wagon Just
as the team began to run away, and
was hurled head foremost into a feed
mill. He was rushed to Linton i'm
mediately, where his wounds were
dressed by DR.. Hpgue and where he
was made as comfortable as possible
until he could be sent to the hospital
at Bismarck. He has been in a semi
conscious condition since the accident
His father accompanied the boy to
Bismarck.

NEARLY SHOT OFF
YOUNG LAD DROPS LOADED GUN
AND BADLY INJURIES
HIS COMPANION. 80

Willistoq, N. D., Oct. pa boy IL
years old by the name of Roed, living
with relatives a mile northeast Of
town, was badly injured by the dis
charge of a shotgun. The charge from
the gun entered his left leg just above
the ankle and shot away three inches
Of the larger bone and about an inch
Of the smaller bone, almost severing
the foot. The boy who was injured
was only six feet from the Eauzzle Of
the. gun and got the full force Of the
load of shot.
1t appears that another boy of about
the same age was carrying the gun
with the hammers up, when he tripped
and fell exploding the charge which
took effect in the Roed boys leg. DR..
Dochterman was called and the In
1ured lad was brought to the hos

that 1t may not be necessary to re-
move the foot as a result of the in
fury, but that the boy will be Grip
Dled permanently. The injured boy
had been visiting some time with
relatives here. His father arrived from
Minnesota Monday.

OPPOSE INCREASE
IN JUDGES Terms
SIX YEARS LONG ENOUGH FOR
SUPREME COURT JUDGES,
SAY LAWYERS.

Hillsboro, N. D., Oct. 23.-The Trail
county bar has adopted resolutions
criticizing the proposed amendment to
the state constitution increasing the
term of supreme court judges from six
to ten years.
"The tendency of the times is to de-
crease, rather than to Increase the
length of official terms" the resolution
reads. "The state officers are elected
for two years, the judges of the dis
trict courts are elected for four years,
and it seems to us that a six-year term
is long enough for a judge of the SUI
preme court. If judge makes a good
record for six years, he can usually be
reelected, and we do not believe that
it is to the interests Of the people to
increase the term to ten years"
