1t was night. The last angry NUT
terings of the storm had died away in
the distance Faint and low rose the
lullaby of the soft-voiced breeze hush
ing the affrighted trees to sleep. A
shaft of moonlight piercing through a
clump of trees, rested on the pale and
bleeding face of Will Staunton who
was stretched senseless on the ground.
He was lying in little pool of blood
that oozed from deep and ugly cash
in his head. The face was as the face
of the dead His hat was gone. his
uniform torn to shreds.
Suddenly he started up and looked
around in a dazed bewildered way. He
tried to rise but fell back helpless to
the ground. His body ached in every
limb. The blood trickled down into
his eyes and blinded him. Slowly the
recollection of what had happened was
coming back. He called to his horse.
There was no sound save the sigh
ing Of the night wind through the
pines. Painfully he rose to his knees
and dragged himself along in search
OF a clearing. He had crawled but
few feet when he started back in
fear. for just at the edge of the knot
of trees where he had been lying. the
hill abruptly fell away into a sheer
wall Of rock that reached down to the
valley below. Cautiously he peered
over the brink. The valley was food
ed with moonlight, and there far be-
low he could see the dead body OF his
horse shattered on the rocks. with

AN AMERICAN PRIEST IN CHINA.

The Catholic Foreign Mission So
ciety informs us that one of the lead
ing business men of Swallow, China, in
conversation with Father Werner, a
missionary, and Father Gleason, chap
lain of the United States feet now in
the East, expressed his surprise that
there was an American Catholic priest,
and was still further surprised when
he learned that there were others.
Like many other Orientals, he was
under the impression that America is
a Protestant country, because the ma
iority of the Americans that he has
met were Professionals. and the minis
tiers were Americans. The Catholic

Many were the. compliments, and ex'

Kenzie hotel Of this city. They were
surprised to find q building of its size,
of It's finish and furnishings in a city

a wonedr to them, and they thought
the man who built it must have an
over supply of nerve, and that he must
have considerable ability and the town
and country considerable support in
order to make 1t pay.
F. E. Tonne, manager of the An
drews hotel of Minneapolis expressed
especial interest in the institution and
congratulated Mr.. Patterson on his en-
erprise. Two members agreed that
there a nothing in Minneapolis to

CAMPAIGN FOR
Lower PRICES
lSnecial to the Tribune.)

NopCSlaI = Wv
CALGARY, Alberta, May 24.-The
recently organized Consumers league
COMPOSED of upwards of three thous'
and women of Calgary, is shaping It's
policy in the campaign for lower
prices on necessities.
The women confidently believe
that a big public market, centrally
located, and properly supplied with
adequate trackage facilities, a place
designated so that the farmer can
deal direct with the housewife, thus
eliminating the middleman and there
by abolishing the latter's profit, is
the only correct and lasting solution
of the high cost Of living problem.
For the first time in the history OF
Canada, a committee of housewives
met another committee composed ex-
clusively of farmers, in Calgary re-
Gently, and decided that the producer
and the consumer in the past have
been too far apart, and that in the
future, as far as Calgary is concern
ed, they will become better acquaint-
ed in a business sense. The public
market scheme was resolved upon as
being the quickest means to the de-
sired end, and the conference broke
up with the representatives of each
committee committed to the policy
of a municipal public market.
The city council has been ap.
preached and it's cooperation secur
ed. A site in the business center of
the city has been promised and funds
supplied for the construction of q
market after the women's own ideas.
Farmers in and around Calgary have
promised to go in for market garden

JIMMY RECALLS old
time BALL team

IraddOck News: On Saturday last
we were treated to a short visit by
Harry Call Of Minneapolis, general
Der company, and talked over old
times.
Some fifteen or eighteen years ago,
when Mr.. Can was local manager OF
the ElOagland Lumber company at
Bismarck, he was also one Of the
managers Of the Bismarck baseball
team. They needed two managers
then and Billy %l'alconer was the 9th
er "angel.'
During a game at Mandan. with
Red Roberts OF Fargo, pitching for
Mandan, and he was considered the
the state, he IA striking out the
Bismarck boys as fast as they came
to the bat. Harry had a brilliant
idea and whispered it to Jack Nc
Hugh, right fielder, but Jack failed to
see the point until later, and then he
saw stars. Harry had told Jack to
let Red" hit him and get a base.
When Jack stepped up to the plate
he had no idea of letting Red" or
anyone else hit him, but Red lam
med him on the side of the head.
lack directed his bat, whirled around
a few times and fell. Bismarck won
the game by the play, | to 0. If Me-
Hugh could have found Call that ev-
ening he would now be enjoying the
long sleep.
Bismarck had a great team in
those days, but the boys have drifted
to the four of the globe, and
all have ~pr0spered, more or less. If
we remember rightly the following
composed the team: VIM. Mclean,
c.; Merit Bartron, D.; Sherman New
mt (dead), b.; Frank Ryan, Oh;
Billy McI1ugh, S.; Jim Mccormick,
81; Myron Hutchinson, IT,; Eilly Do
Ian, CT; and Jack Ntzhugh,, IF.
Mr.. Call was accompanied by his
brother, Grant, auditor, and f. II.
Carpenter, president of the company.
They returned to Bismarck on Sat
urday'S train.

Is equivalent to our perspire. which
also means to breathe through. and SO

says, J'ai Deaucoup transpire' Il have

and perspire are etymolOgically as

BECOMES
Of MRS. Wright?

DEVILS LAKE, N. d., May "a
What Is to become of Mrs. Wright
the woman sent to the state peniten
tiary from Devils Lake for the muir
der of her daughter?
This Is the question being asked
by the prison officials of North Da
kota. Her time has expired but she
still remains at the penitentiary.
Broken in health, weighing about
half she did when convicted. she Is
about to be turned out into the world
Attorney f. J. TraynOr, who looked
after the wo:nan's interest in a trans
action recently, received the follow
ing letter today:
Bismarck, N. D., May 20, 1913.
Fred n. T%raynor, Esq, Devils Lake,
n. D.: Dear Sir-About a year or SO
ago, you were interested in the case
OF Mrs. Wright, an inmate of the
state ~penitentiary, and at that time
sent you a statement regarding her
physical condition.
Mrs. Wright's time has now expir.

ing back to Devils Lake, whilst ap-
parently having nowhere else to 60.
She speaks of people in Indiana who
want to make a home for her, but
has no letters to show that anyone
would take an interest in her there.
If she returns to that state and be-
comes a burden on any community,
the authorities would probably ship
her back to this state.
AS her legal residence is in Ram
sey county, we think it would be best
for her to return there, but she APP
pears to think that she has no friends
in that county and apparently would
stay where she is than return.
Mrs. Wright is not in good health
About two months ago she fell
and injured her left hip. She is walk.
ing on crutches at present but makes
no great effort to help herself. In
addition, she has a long standing alb
sccss on the right side of the neck.
is probably t%ubercular. This
combined with her age makes it un-
likely that she will ever be able to
earn her own livelihood and she will
probably always be a burden on her
or the public.
This is, of course, presuming that
she has no money or property Of her
own. On this point | am not inform.

ell. he had supposed that he and
Twichell were friends, but when he
found Dewitt in T%wichell's Q at
the Grand Pacific hotel the thought
Occurred to him that they both want.
ed money, and he thoughe-h e saw an
opportunity to lead them on and make
them believe they were to receive a
sum OF money, and he wanted to get
them to q point where he could ex-
pose to them.
Ness admitted being acquainted
with DR.. BARLEY, and knew he was
chairman on public health, but that he
did not tell DR.. Lartley there was any
money for him, or that he (Ness)
was Interested in the defeat OF any
measure. ia,
Later, on In his testimony Ness
stated that he knew 1t was false
when he told Twichell and Dewitt that
hi, represented the American TObac.
co company. He said he didn't
Know there was any "snuff money" in
town and that he did not remember Of
ever guaranteeing either of them the
payment Of any money, but he said
that he told them that Mr.. Pettibone
had stated that they could have
$4,000. Ness told of Shareholders be
ing suggested and that Berndt Ander-
son, and Jim Shea were mentioned,
but that Twichell objected to Shea.
1; When the testimony of Ness was
completed the defense called Frank
J.. Fox who was a member of the house
from Bismarck, who stated that he
had been a member of the house COM
mittee on employment but the state
would not permit him to state who had
secured the employment Of the Nc
Kensey woman as a stenographer for
the house and Mr.. Fox was excused.
Aaron Christopher, clerk at the no.
tel Mckenzie, was next called by the
defense, and he stated that on the
day Mr., Rice, president Of the Amer
lean Tobacco company left town, Mre.
McKensey had called at the desk and
asked him how she could reach Mr..
Rice by telegram. christopher said
that Rice had left him the number OF
his birth on No. 2, and that he gave
Mrs. McKensey the Information. Aft
erwards he saw Ness and the McKen-
sey woman together in the lobby and
he noticed her dictate a Telegram
which Ness wrote.
After the testimony of Christopher
the defense rested and the attorney
general recalled TWichell and later
Dewitt to the stand in rebuttal to the
testimony of Ness. Twichell stated
that after Ness had been arrested he
met Ness in the corridors of the CAPT.
toll building but he did not want to
embarass him by speaking to him,
but that Ness grabbed him by the arm
and said, for Gods sake, Twichell,
let up on this" and nothing more was
said. &a
Dewitt stated in rebuttal that it was
not true that the suggestions Of re-
money had always came from
him and Twichell. Dewitt did state,
however, upon an interrogation of the
attorney general that at no time did
he ever see Twichell or Ness intoxi-
Gated ana that he never saw either OF
them intoxicated. He ALTO stated
he had not drank anything him-i
self and that he had never used liq.

After the material gets to the scrap

There las a time when the junk deal
ers knew more about the value of scrap
metal than the railroad men. The deal

because the scrap was sorted into only
a few classes when it was offered for

dealers resorted it and made big profits.

The war between Turkey and the Bal

King Nicholas, the sturdy ruler of
plucky little Montenegro. and his three
sons were the first to engage In warfare.
Prince Peter. the youngest, having fired
the shot which began the rnomentous
war, heralding, as events have turned ont,
the downfall of Turkey in Europe. The
Crown Prince of Montenegro holds the
most important commnad in the Montene-
grin forces. and Prince Mirgo has also
served in the war with great distinction.
Prince Arsene. the youngest brother of
the King of Servia, became famous for
his daring raid and capture of the impor-
tant Turkish stronghold of Veles. King
Peters two sons have also fought brave
ly at the head of their regiments.
