WOULD MOVE NOUN
TRAIL COUNTY SEAT
PETITIONS OUT FOR ELECTION
TO MOVE COUNTY SEAT IN
MOUNTRAIL COUNTY,

Stanley, N. D., July 17.-Peti
tions. are being circulated in Noun.
trail county asking that the ques
ton of removing the county seal
from Stanley to Palermo be sub
mitted at q special election. That
the attempt to bring about anoth>
er election on the location of the
county seat will bring on a long
bitter war in the courts is practic-
ally certain, as it is generally be-
leved that the board of county COM
missioners will refuse to act on the
petition, which will result in the
matter being taken to the court.
In a fight just after tho county
of Mountrail was organized out of
a part Of Ward county. Stanley
was successful in securing the coun-
ty seat. The matter has been
brought up again at this time
through the fact that bonds for
the construction of a new court
house have been issued, and the
contract has been let.
Palermo forces seek to head off
the construction of the court house
by holding an election on the ques-
ton of location, it being general
ly supposed that once the court
house is constructed, the problem
of bringing about the removal of
the seat Of government will be made
that much more difficult.
In securing signatures to their Pc
tition. Palermo business men back
ing the removal proposition have
employed automobiles, six parties
canvassing the county. 1t requires
a petition of sixty per cent of the
voters to bring about an election,
while two-third vote Is necessary
to remove.
Opposition in Stanley to the tssu-
ance Of the court house bonds was
responsible, it is understood, for
the renewal OF the effort to re-
move the county .eat. Palermo
will make an offer to the county
court house facilities at nominal
figure.

ANONYMOUS LETTER
WAS RECEIVED
COMMUNICATION TELLS OF
MURDER WHICH TOOK
PLACE AT CASSELTON.

Casselton, N. D., July ia
letter received in Casselton bearing
on the mysterious death of Carle-
ton Gilbert in the early part of
April.
1t will be remem bered that ever
since the body of Corleton Gill
bert was found in Swan creek
there has never been any way to
occount for his death-as it was
proved by the autopsy that he
was dead when put in the water,
while examination of the stomach
showed that no poison had been
taken. AS there was no outward
marks of violence the cause of
death has remained wrapped in
mystery to this day.
The letter that came to Casselton
Is unsigned-naturally but pur-
ports to tell the events of the night
on which Mr.. Gilbert disappeared.
1t says that three men, stopping
in the open jail building, were
about 2 a. m. attempting an en-
trance into a rear window of the
hotel when Gilbert came around
the corner and asked what they
were doing. Instantly one of them
seized him and clasped hand
over his mouth, while another hit
him across the neck with a sand
bag, telling him, Becoming alarm
ed they went away but soon re-
turned to see how the stricken man
was-and found that he was dead.
They then carried the body to
the creek and threw it in. having
ritled the pockets. On arrival
near the Jail they found nothing
of Importance in what they had
secured-and threw the books,
watch, eyeglasses, etc., into the
ditch. There are other things in
the letter, but are of no use in
this article except as to one thing
and that one thing pertains to
an article that nobody knew of,
but was found exactly where the
writer said it had been thrown.
That article is the sand bag with
which Gilbert was struck-accord-
ing to the writer.
The letter, says that a piece: of
nose was secured at the building
under construction, filled with sand
one end closed up, and to the 9TH
er was attached wooden handle.
That, was evidently intended to be
ready III case anybody was met
after entrance to the hotel was ac-
complished, but was used on Gill
bert. .s..--.: -,e5 -s
The letter said it would be found
in the creek. Examination in the
present low stage of water in the
rear of the hotel disclosed it to
the searching of1icer-nalf embed
ded in the bottom. ..-
AS it was covered with slime and
the wooden handle was watersoak-
ed the frightful instrument had
evidently lain in its place for a
long time-possibly since the date
on which the letter states. Part
les who know say the hose is of
the kind that was in use on the
new bank building ..r
An anonymous letter is not very
good authority at any time-it
isn't new-but when instruments
are found as indicated, lying for a
long time hid, and the methods
described are such as to open up
a line of events that explain here
tofore mystery, it would seem as If
the alleged circumstances were
worthy of being investigated as far
as is possible. r-'

right to an invention of his which
will be a great convenience to mo-
tor drivers. The device enables
the light on an automobile to fol-
low curves or turns in the road
automatically. 1t will work on any
kind of a car and will be found
practical in the taking Of the dan

dark night. Mr.. Crnm has had
several inquiries from auto firms
to secure a right to the use of the
device. This is the second patent
he has obtained within short
time for mechanical appliances.

WARREN CASE UP
AGAIN IN M|NO1
COUNTY SUPERlNTENDENT OF
WARD COUNTY is AGAIN
UPON THE CARPET,

Minot, N. D., July 13.-This
morning the tilt between States At
torney Nestos and Superintendent of
Schools, E. G. Warren, came into
prominence again, when, according
animation of an adverse party in a
civil suit, before the trial. Attor-
ney Nestos required Mr.. Warren
to stand cross-examination in the
judges chambers.
The suit was brought by the
states attorney, some time ago,
and has to do with alleged extrav-
agancies, in the conduct of the sup
erintendenl official business. 1t
is claimed that mileage has been
grossly overcharged, and that the
bills presented by the superintend-
|ent have been greatly in excess of
what they should be and greatly
in excess of those of other counties.
This Mr.. Warren denies, and in
a series of letters which were CIV
en- to the press some time ago,
accusations and denials were ex-
changed in no unmistakable terms.
The states attorney has been busy
gathering facts and compiling fig
ures to prove his contentious,
but the superintendent refused to
admit the charges, or acknowledge
any extravaganza in the conduct of
his office, claiming rather that the
board of county commissioners have
been niggardly in the allowing of
his bills, and that there is con-
certed against him to force him
ont. Of officessA The case will come
up for trial during the next ses-
sion of district court, some time in
July or August.
