C[ARKF'S ELECTION
 CAUSES BITTERNESS
Friends of Senator Bacon of Georgia Resent His Defeat by Arkan- san-HOke Smith May
 Resign.

Washington, March 9.-The break in Senate Democratic ranks Friday with the endorsement of Senator Clarke over Senator Bacon for the position of president pro tempore had intensified the feeling that ex- isted between the party factions when the caucus resumed its seS- sion yesterday.
 A candidate for secretary and one or two other minor appointive se- lections were then still to be made. The special committee named to prepare assignments of Democrats to places on the various committees had not yet completed it's work, but the Democratic leaders were pre- pared to take up generally the work of reorganization.
 Senator Hoke Smiths threatened resignation yesterday from the Steering Committee because of the defeat of his colleague, Mr. Ba- con, was still talked of in Senate circles as indicating a possible breach between some of the more active leaders in Democratic ranks.
 After re-nominating Thomas Kel- Ter of West Virginia assistant door keeper on the Democratic side, the caucus adjourned.

BRUND|DCE IS IN
 GOVERNORS RACE
Says Cannot Afford to Accpet Of- flee, but Wants to See Office Used in Interest of People, Not
 Political Ambition.

Little Rock, March 7.-The indi- cations are that Stephen Brundidge of Searcy will be in the race for governor at the proper time. A significant interview appears in the Mammoth Spring Democrat as fol- lows: T am being overrun with letters and telegrams from all parts of the state asking me to make the race for governor. From a finan- cial standpoint, l could not at all afford to accept it, but believing that this great office has been worked overtime to further per- sonal political ambitions, 1 would like to see it used, for a while, at least, in the interest of the great body of the people of the state, and as soon as the gentlemen who have so generously undertaken to pro- vide the method by which the next governor of the state shall be elect ed, have decided among themselves just what voice they propose to let the people have in the selection eff any, I will then have definite and positive statement to make to the people of the state. I believe that another canvass of the state is just now much needed, much as I deplore a continuation of a po- litical agitation"

the present term Of district court in
Virginia and it is expected it will be
taken up either Monday or Tuesday Of
next week. The case will be one of
the most interesting of the kind ever
tried on the range, as the evidence
against LeQuire is all of circumstan-
tial nature. He will be defended by
Attorney M. H. Mcmahon of Virginia,
and has entered plea of not guilty.
The prosecution will be conducted by
County Attorney Warren E. Greene

ward L. Boyle of Virginia. The states
case will embody the testimony Of
about 20 witnesses, most Of whom
come from Tower.
Unimportant civil matters have
been occupying the atteneion Of the
court this week. The suit of Frank
Kent VS.. John Costin, Jr., an action
for breach of contract involving the

Bartender at Resort of Alice
Sanderson Held Up and
$13O Taken.
VILLMUR BROTHERS AND
BEN DIXON ARRESTED
Trio Tell Conflicting Stories and Are
Held in Jail at Buhl Pending An
Investigati0n-Place Entered at An
Early Hour This Morning by Three
Masked Men.

Benjamin Dixon, Elmer and Fred
Villmur, of Virginia, well-known about
the city, are in Jail at Buhl today
charged with holding up Jack Erick-
son, the bartender at a roadhouse
near Buhl, and robbing the cash reg
lister behind the bar Of $3.50 in gold,
silver and bills. The trio have told
conflicting stories but are now claim
ing their innocence. The missing
money was not recovered.
According to the story of Alice San
derson, a woman of the place, three
masked men entered the bar-room at
shortly after 80 o'clock this morning
and drew guns on Erickson, who was
standing in front of the bar. While
two of them stood guard over him a
third went through the cash register
and took the money. The Sanderson
woman says the men walked to the
place from Buhl. Erickson was the
only man employed about the place.
He made no effort to follow them.
Dixon and the Villmurs secured a
rig at a local livery stable after II
o'clock last night to drive to Buhl.
Following the hold-up the Buhl police
were notified and Chief Anderson ar
rested the Villmurs on the road be-
tween Buhl and Mountain Iron at an
early hour this morning.
They confessed to him that they
had visited the place, but alleged they
knew nothing of the robbery. Dixon
was arrested here this morning. He
denies having been at the place, but
the Villmurs in their statement to the
police officer say he was with them.
No complaint had been lodged
against the three at noon today. The
Sanderson woman, it is said, does not
care to push the charge. The money
is still missing.
All three Of the accused are we'll
known here. Dixon has been employ
ed at the Coffey and Eddy livery es-
Establishments and the Villmurs grew
up in this city. Elmer Villmur is
married and his wife resides at Cros-
by. The Villmurs have retained an
attorney and if the charges against
them are pushed will plead not guilty
The whole matter will be referred ia
the county attorney. 1t will no doubt
result in the closing of the Sandersor
place, which has been running con-
trary to the law. Dixon and the Will
murs had been drinking about Vir.
ginia before driving to Buhl last night
and are known to have been intoxi-
Gated at Buhl.

signature Of Trainmaster Clayton not
ify trainmen and yard crews that in
the future passenger coaches or cars
of any description and switch engines
must not be parked on the Lake Boule-

in response to a complaint from Lake

a protest against travelling theatrical
companies being allowed to park their
cars near the boulevard leaving refuse

annoying to Lake Boulevard residents
and of which they recently complained
to the city council.

Several Important Matters Before
Council at Adjourned Regular
Meeting.

The city council at an adjourned
regular melting to be held at the city
hall this evening will award the con-
tract for the widening and deepening
of the creek at the sewer outlet to
Three Mile lake. The King Bartlett
company are the low bidders for the
work at 81 1-2 cents cubic yard for
earth excavation and $3.50 a cubic
yard for rock excavation. Bids were
opened at the regular meeting of the
council Tuesday night and were as
follows:
Risberg & Warwick, Virginia.

Carl Hall & Co., Duluth-Excava-
ton 48 cents cubic yard.
The Butler-Coons company, Vir-
ginia-Excavation As cents cubic
yard, rock $3.50 a cubic yard.
Certified checks accompanying the
bids were returned to Risberg & Mar
wick and to A. j. Perrin representing
Carl Hall & Co., as that they will not
be considered in making the award
this evening.
The estimate for the work was $780,
500 and the King Bartlett bid is about
SO 900 under that of the Butler Coons
company.
The council will also receive pro-
posals at tonight's meeting for certi-
6cates of indebtedness of the total
amount of $4,000 at per cent in
terest. The vacation of the alley at
the rear of the public library will also
probably be permanently disposed Of.
Tuesday nights meeting Of the
council was unimportant. A petition
was received from the residents of
Cherry street asking for an extension
of the water mains for it's entire
length before winter sets in. The
vacation of the alley in block 43 was
denied, but a resolution was subse-
quently passed which will give the
property owners interested the right
to use the alley as they desire for an
annual rental of 81 year. The pre-
cedent was established that the pre-
sent council is opposed to the vacation
of alleys for any purpose hereafter
while it's liberal attitude on their use
for any reasonable purpose is also in.

they have no water. The matter wa.
preferred to the proper COMMITTEES.

q federal appointment in the internal
revenue service, or something Of that
kind for Mr.. Murphy. while the post
Office would go to Mr.. Fleming. Local
democrats who are disinterested in the
postofRce fight and are strong for har-
mony within the ranks, believe there
is an excellent prospect of the matter
being settled in this way. ...@ 49, =.
J. H. Fleming has been the origi-
nal democrat Of Virginia. Mr.. Flem-
ing attended democratic conventions
and kept the faith when he was about
the only democrat in this section of
St. Louis county. He has been a fifth
full worker, for party success when
hope Of reward was remote. He is ap-
parently confident that he will land the
postoffice.
Mr.. Murphy is one of the younger
democrats. He was the candidate of
his party for sheriff of St. Louis coun-
ty last fall and made a vigorous cam
paign. He took much interest in the
organization of Wilson Marshal clubs
throughout the county and left his
business to fight for democratic sue
cess.
Attorney Luke Burns, mentioned as
dark horse candidate, is also of the
younger element in the ranks of St.
Louis county democracy. Mr.. Burns
is an interesting public speaker and
was a candidate for the legislature
last fall and stumped the county for
the state central committee. He is
making no effort in his own behalf,
while he has a good many friends in
all factions who believe that as a COM
promise candidate he would be just the
checker.
Announcement of the appointment
of the postmaster in Virginia is ex-
pected to follow soon after the visit
of Mr.. O'Brien of Crookston.
