RECALL ELECTION TO
!. :. Be HELD OCT. lS
PETITIONS TO VOTE UPON THE
RECALL OF PRES. DAVIS, CON-
MIssIONERs SHAW AND DOR
MAN AND MAGISTRATE LYNCH
HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED.

Minot will hold a special election
October 10, at which time officers to
fill the places Of Commissioners Shaw
and Dorman, President Davis and
City Magistrate Lynch will be elect
ed.
The commissioners considered the
recall petitions Monday night, and
while there was a question as to
whether all of them were entirely reg
ular or not, it was thot best to ac-
cept them all, so that the matter
could be definitely settled at one cleo
tion, thus saving the city considerable
expense.
In the case Of several Of the petit
tions, the names appeared on double
petitions and the legality of this was
questioned. However, after some con-
sideration, Commissioner Shaw NOV
ed that all of them be accepted.
1t is understood that Commissioners
Shaw and Davis and Police Magis-
trate Lynch will again be candidates.
Dorman may not run, altho the mat
ter will be settled by the Socialist To-
cal. If Dorman does not become a
candidate, the Socialists will put up
another candidate for his place. They
will also have candidates in the field
for the other officers.
An effort will be made by the op-
position to eliminate all but one can
didate for the three places. The In.
dependent has reasons to believe that
there will be no opposition to Davis,
Shaw and Lynch, with the exception Of
the Socialist candidates.
The recall of these officers was brot
about thru bitter fight, started when
certain !. w. w. leaders were re-
strained from speaking on the streets
of Minot.
Both factions will poll the city by
wards to obviate any illegal voting.

BOLD ROBBERY
At BOWBELLS
FOUR MEN HELD UP GROUP AT
POINT OF GUNS-NEGRO SUS-
PECT SHOT THREE TIMES-AL-
LEGED GUN ARTIST ARRESTED
IN MINOT.

A bold robbery occurred at the de-
pot platform at Bowbells Mon
night when four men covered Edwin
Burnham, aged 1S years, and several
companions with their guns and took
$45 from Burnham. The robbery was
committed just before the train pulled
out, ct 1880. After the quartet had
taken the money, the victims were
told to beat it down the track. Burn
ham had been flashing $50 bill be-
fore the eyes Of number of COM
panions, intending to leave on that
train. One of his companions was I
negro, who was suspected of being
implicated. The negro was found at
a lunch room later, but ran when an
attempt was made to arrest him. The
officer shot at him four or five times,
but the negro kept on running. Lat
er he was found in the street suffering
from two wounds in the legs and one
thru the back, the bullet having gone
thru the stomach. He will probably
die. What is believed to be Burnham's 5
rency was easily identified by the
burned edges, it having been damaged
in a Portal fire.
One man, alleged to have been the
ring leader of the gang, was nabbed
by the Minot police just as he step
ped from the train that night. He
had been shadowed by Sheriff Stein
hofer, who got on the same train and
sat near him. Stratton was loaded
for bear. He had a big automatic pis-
tol and many shells.
Stratton has been bound over to
the district court. The officers are hot
on the trails of the other men impli-
Gated.

[)lIN(1E
Causes a Sensation by His
High Play at Bacarat in
City of Paris. France.
nr AsseelArrn rnrnn,

PARIS, Sept. 20.-The Aga Khan,
the immensely wealthy Prince of In
dIa, who among other things is head
OF the Mohammedan religion in his
country, caused a sensation at Deau-
vile casino recently by his high play
at baccaret. He seemed to be quite
Indifferent whether he won or lost,
and many people. who observed him
expressed their conviction that he had
no actual knowledge at any time on
this point.
1t was the custom of the prince to
go to the gambling rooms accompan-
led by servant carrying valise fun
of bank notes. The prince, from time
to time during the play would either
request his servant, who stood behind
his chair, to remove the piles Of win
nings and stun them in the yalise, or
else to supply him with fresh bundles
of 1.OOO-franc notes to hazard. Per-
haps the servant was more observing
than his master and knew whether
fortune smiled or not, but to observ-
ers he was as lnscrutable as the
prince, and gave no sign.
The Grand Duke Boris of Russle d.
vlded the attention of onlookers with
the Aga, frequently winning or losing
$4,000 ($1O,OOO) francs at sitting.
