CHILDREN ESCAPE
Death FROM SHOT

Lawton, N D., Aug. 19,-Leaving a
shotgun loaded while in the house very
nearly caused the death of two young
girls last Monday at the home of Hen
ry Wittkopf, Newbre township. r. H.
Claassen, employed on the farm, went
into the house to get a. gun to kill a
turkey and in lifting 1t from the COR
ner, knocked 1T against chair. 1t went
off. the charge tearing off a large piece
of casing on door leading to an ad-
joining room where his little daughter
and Miss Dorothy Wavrunek were
washing dishes. Miss Wavrunek was
passed Though her wrist, While the
Claassen girl received a number of
shot in her shoulder and one in the
jaw near the jugular vein. A doctor
was called and the wounds, which were
not found to be serious, were dressed.
Had the charge not entered the door
casing first, one or both children would
have probably been killed.

HALVORSON CHARGE
NOT SUSTAINED

Bowman. N. D.. Aug. 10. - Bernt
HalWorson, a farmer of this vicinity,
charged with embezzlement, was given
q hearing yesterday before Justice
Ellingson and was discharged. Hal-
vorson, who was road overseer,
worked the road tax assessed, against
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railway and was paid for it, in
stead of the company paying the
money direct to the county,
However, a law was passed several
years ago prohibiting road overseers
from working out road taxes other
than their own. Some of the town
ship people took the matter up and
started an action against Halvorson
charging him with enbezzlement
Combined with a good reputation
throughout the country for honesty,
the explanations were satisfactory
enough to provide for his release and
to prove his innocence. rs

LANDS in JAIL

Harsboro. N. D.. Aug. 10. Thomas
Green. who has been working near

nesday with disastrous consequences,
finally landing in jail. Green admitted
raising a check of $3.50 to $3.50
which he had received from Fred
Buchholz for services. and presented
1t at local bank. He later made ar
rangements to be taken over the line
into Canada and the bank officials be-
came suspicious and after questioning
Green, forced him to confess. He was
taken to Cando by Deputy Sheriff Geo.

ing. He will probably be let out on
parole having returned the money to
the bank. Green has acted queerly

of his entering Harpers Ferry:
Winding around the base of the

allel to the railroad bridge at this point.
Just before landing on West Virginia

AZ. Fisk is greatly in error when he
asserts that the tollgate keeper at this

using the roads oe this State, The
bridge is in Maryland, the Potomac at
this point being a Maryland water. and
West Virginia has nothing whatever 10
do with It. Passing from there throug h

Prom Washington.
From Geo. w. Summers ]

Washington, Nov. 18.-"Don't let
the post Offices get away from you by
default. and don't let the Republicans
beat you to them" is. in effect, the adj
vice of Senator W. E. Chiffon to the
Democrats of West Virginia, who have
ambitions to serve the federal govern
ment and to assist in the handling of
the mails. His advice also includes a
warning against growing impatient be-
! couse any special Office remains un-
acted upon.
Senator Chiffon and Congressman
Nicely and Brown feel very keenly
their inability under present laws and
regulations to secure postmasterships
any more rapidly than they are now do
ing, but the federal laws and the ad
ministration's policies, which are much
more broad and liberal towards Demo-
Gratis than were those of preceding adj
ministrations. preclude them from NOV
ing any faster. or along different lines.
While there are four classes of post
masters, they are appointed in three
different ways. The first. second and
third class post offices are those which
pay $1,000 year or more in salary.
They are all in the presidential class
and the postmasters are appointed by
the President and confirmed by the
Senate The fourth class offices, of
which there are twenty times as many
in West Virginia as there are of the
presidential class, are divided into two
kinds, as far as appointments are con-
cerned. All fourth class postmasters
receiving annual salary of $3.50 or more
must take the civil service examina-
ton before being appointed. while
those receiving less than $3.50 year
are appointed on the recommendation
of post office Inspector. So far as
possible, outside of the letter class, the
recommendation of the Congressman
from district is the postmaster gener-
al's guide in appointing fourth class
postmasters under civil service regula-
tions and the Presidents guide. In ap-
pointing postmasters of the firststhree
classes. in districts that are not repre-
scented by Democrats the recommends
ton of the Democratic Senator from
the State IS the guide to both President
and Postmaster General.
The applicant for an Office to be filed
under no civil service regulations must
apply to the Civil Service Commission
for blanks, and take the examination.
If he passes he is placed on an eligible
list from which the postmasters are Sc
lected. There is separate examina-
ton and eligible list for each office.
After one gets on the eligible list, Sena-
tor Chiffon or Congressman Nicely in
the first district and Congressman
Brown in the second can help him, but
none of them can be of assistance to
him till he takes and passes the exami-
nation.
