GRAFTON BOY IS
!. T. ACC|DENTLY SHOT
Nine-Yea Old Boy is Instantly
Killed When Shot Gun is
Discharged

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. IL.
Gaining possession of a wea-
pom which had been left in an
automobile after a hunting trip,
Eugene, the 9-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs H. L. Haussman of
Grafton, was instantly killed last
evening.
The boy, together with a sister
and brother, aged about 4 and 6
years, was in the yard of the
Haussman home. Sam Nelson,
employed in the Haussman drug
store at Grafton, had been hunt
ing during the afternoon, and on
returning home, had left a shot
gun in the automobile. which
had been driven into the Hauss~
man garage.
While the members of the FAM
lily were at supper, the children
secured the gun. Whether it
was already loaded, or they
placed the shell in the gun, is
not known.
Eugene received the full
charge Of the weapon full in one
eye, the top of his head being
almost entirely blown off. His
death was instantaneous.
Mr.. Haussman, the father, is
we'll known throughout the state.

TO Build RAILROAD
ACROSS RIVER ON ICE
500 and Great Northern Will
Build Across the Missouri
River Next Winter

Novel methods will be en-
ployed by the 500 railroad in the
construction of the branch from
Plaza across the Missouri into
Mckenzie county. The line will
be laid this fall as far as the
Missouri river. The surveyors
have found the bed of a coulee
down which there is an easy
grade, which will carry the rails
to the river bank. The line to
the river will be in readiness for
the operation of the trains early
in the winter. To bring con-
struction materials into McKen-
zie county is no small task, as
the Missouri river presents OBJ
stacles which could not be over
come without great expense.
So, instead of attempting to ship
overland the railroad will build
a track across the river on the
ice this winter, and will use the
rails for the transportation of
construction materials, even to
the locomotives and steam sho-
vels.
Great Northern contracts for
the grading and track laying in
Mckenzie county will be let soon.
Representatives Of construction
companies have been looking
over the right of way with a
view to presenting bids to the
company. There are several
deep cuts and fills which will
prove decidedly costly, these be-
ing particularly bad through the
valley Of the Little Missouri
river. Two bridges are to be
constructed across the Missouri
for the Great Northern and 500
lines into Mckenzie county, and
both will represent q big outlay
of money. Z.

OPINION WAS BY
JUDGE 'sPAuLD|NG
Justice Goss Did Not Partici-
pate in Bowbells-L -Lignite
County Seat Case

= A~f7
mite county seat case which was
decided in favor of Bowbells in a
decision handed down Tuesday
forenoon of last week. The svl-
labus Of the opinion follows:
The state of North Dakota ex
rel P. N. Johnson and L. L.
Griffith, relators and appellants,
VS.. Thomas Ely, Jerry Donovan,
H. G. Blenkner, Ralph Abbott
and w. C. Martin, as the can
vassing board Of Burke county,
North Dakota, defendants and
respondents.
/. Mandamus is not a writ of
right and will not be granted to
compel the performance of an
act when no beneficial result
would be attained by it's per-
formance.
2. Mandamus as a general
rule is discretionary writ, and
when application is made to the
trial court to issue mandamus
that court may take testimony
to aid it in determining how its
discretion should be exercised.
3. It is not an abuse of dis
:cretion to deny a writ of man
damus when it is shown that it's
issuance would avail nothing to
the relators.
a. The county commissioners
Of Ward county, when what is
now Burke county was a part
thereof, established the voting
precincts and designated the
polling places in certain town
ships now in Burke county. On
the organization of. Burke county
the commissioners thereof failed
to establish voting precincts or
designate polling places. Held
that the precincts and polling
places established by the COM
missioners of Ward county re-
main such until the commission
ers of Burke county act thereon.
5. In accordance with Elvick
VS.. Groves, IL N. D., 561, it is
held that where a voting place is
duly established by the county
commissioners, an election held
at another place a considerable
distance therefrom, in the alb
sence Of special reasons unau-
thorized, and the returns should
not be canvassed.
In each Of the precincts in
yolved in this proceeding the
commissioners of Ward county
1908 established the voting pla-
ces at the usual place. The
record shows that, at the next
election after such Establishment,
the voting was done at places
near the center Of the townships
OF precincts. A motion Of rela-
tors and a demurrer filed to the
return Of the respondents both
admit that the election Of 1910
was not held at the place desig-
mated. The evidence shows that
I it was held at places several
miles distant, on the extreme
boundaries of:the precincts; and
it's held that, in the absense Of
any conflict in the evidence, the
J trial court did not abuse its dis
cretion IN IN declining to issue its
writ Of manda damus to direct the
canvassing5 board to canvass the
votes alleged Is have been cast

BULL MOOSE PARTY
NOM|NATES TICKET
Endorse All Republican Candi-
dates for State Offices Ex-
cept Governor

Fargo, N. D., Sept, 7.-Dr.
C. C. Creegan, president of Far
go College. was nominated for
governor by the Progressive re-
publicans in their state conven-
ton held here yesterday. Fol-
lowing a brief session yesterday
morning the convention ad-
journed until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, when they were ad-
dressed by Theodore Roosevelt.
They then adjourned until 7::30
last night when they took action
on a state ticket.
The remainder of the repubi-
can candidates on the state tick
ct were endorsed with the ex-
ception of w. C. Gilbreath, pres
sent commissioner of agriculture
and labor, who is candidate
for reelection. No candidate
was nominated to oppose him,
but it is probable that NJ. C.
Bachelor, secretary of the
North Dakota State Fair Asso-
citation at Grand Forks will be
the Bull Moose candidate.
The nomination or endorse
ment of candidates for congress-
man will be taken up at district
conventions, one of which will
be held in each Of three districts,
will decide whether or not to en-
dorse the republican candidates
or nominate Progressive candi-
dates.
Later-Since MIR. Creegan's
nomination for governor it was
found that he had not resided
in the state long enough to make
him eligible to hold the Office.
and he was consequently COM
PEELED to withdraw from the
race. The constitution of North
Dakota provides that in order to
be eligible to the Office of gov-
ernor a man must be a resident
of the state five years. Mr..
Creegan has lived in Fargo only
a little over three years.

Edwin H. Cheney of Oak Park, who
are being considered by W. R. Pen

said that he believed he had the
power to raid the home that Wright
and the former Mrs. Cheney are now
occupyqing after their second elope-
ment, and that he will not hesitate
to act as soon as he is convinced
beyond a doubt that he is within the
law and receives formal complaints
from residents of Hillside, who are
talking Of indignation meetings to
devise ways and means for driving
the twain from that section Of Wis
cOnsin.
Two years ago Wright and Mrs.
Cheney deserted their families in
Oak Park and went to Europe, where
they travelled together as man and
wife. The case caused widespread
notoriety, which quieted down when
Wright returned to his wife and chill
dren and was forgiven. Now the
coming of the pair to this section of
Wisconsin has so outraged residents
that some talk is heard of a tar
party" Officers are DreDared TO pre-
vent any Iawlessness, however.

investigation and that a grand jury
could not do better. There have,
however, been many rumors regard
ing the participation of city and
county officers in public contracts, in

sin to amend the game bounty law
SO that it Will not be necessary to
spoil valuable hides with established
market value in order to get the
bounty
Hunters assert that under the
present law, which makes it neces-
sary to cut off an animals head to
establish the claim for bounty. they
are annually losing considerable on
the sale of hides. They hold that
the hide about the head could be
cut in such way as to establish posi-
lively the species of the animal
killed, without destroying the com
merclaI value of the k@--s. One
hunter says Marinette taxidermists
would pay 50 more than they now
do for wolf hides if it was not neces-
sary to cut the heads off to get the
bounties

CONDITIONS DEMAND REFORM
Disturbances in the Neighborhocd Of
Schools Draws Warm Rebuke
From Writer.

In Brooklyn a school reported that
On one side it had 2 stone yard from
which issued shrill vhistIing sounds Of
cutting accompanied by blows of NAL
lets used in chipping the stone. On the
other ii had a junk shop Of iron from
which came the noise Of the continual
dropping of metal On the third was
a WheelWright where hammering on
the heated rims went on most dis
tressingIy. A fourth source of dis
turbance was the number Of street
vendors who infested the neighbor-
hood; fifth was the passing before the
door Of a line Of trolley cars. An
other principal wrote that the school
was surrounded by garages and sta
bles, and that the noise incidental
TO the repair of vehicles was al
most unbearable. In still another
neighborhood where garages abounded
the street was turned into a huge re-
pair shop, and there, Undisturbed by
the police, the noisiest kinds of work
were carried on for hours. Other prin-
Cipals reported factories, car barns
and taxicab stations as unpleasant
neighbors, whose noise was deplol-
able.
As for the annoyance of street sing
ers and musicians, push cart peddIers
and cash-cIo'es men, German bands
and Italian ragmen, vegetable buck
sters and other vendors, few schools
apparently were free from them.

FIGHT PURE FOOD STATUTE.
Supreme Court to Decide Constitution

ality of Indiana Law.
Washington. - The contest waged
over the constitutionality of the
Indiana pure food law of 1907 was
transferred to Washington and the
fight was renewed IN the Supreme
court Of the United States
The court is expected to decide
whether any state may enact legisla-
ton regulating food brought into a
state from another
Attorneys for Marion w. Savage
filed brief in a suit by their client to
enjoin State Chemist Jones from en-
forcing the law. Savage claimed to
be the owner and sole proprietor of a
business conducted under the title of
International Stock Food company,
manufacturing in Minnesota a prepare
ton for cattle and selling it in Indi-
ana and other states. One of the
points urged against the law was that
it constituted a regulation of inter
state commerce. already regulated by
the federal pure food and drug act of
1905.
