The druggist refused to go out for
scrap, and Mr.. Bowser left the place
with rage boiling in his heart. He was
looking around for something to de-
stroy when a belated fakir yelled "Um-
brellas to mend!'' at him from across
the street. With blood-curdling
whoop Mr.. Bowser took his trail, and
as the two disappeared down the street
in a whirl policeman came along and
unused to himself:
Those looked like Bowsers coattails

There was a bit of doubt in his tones
as he picked up his manuscript notes
again, flourished his arm and went on:
" When Robert Fulton arose in his
place in congress and declared that
agriculture was the bulwark of liberty,
men smiled at him, but you have only
to look around you today to see what a
truism he gave us. Look at those

What is it now?
You are not quite right about two

But you must not make such mis-
takes. You speak of agriculture pelns
the bulwark of liberty, and then you
go on to mention nothing but manu-
factures If you make such slips as
those before a crowd you will be al
most hooted at. Now go on. We will
fill in new names later on"
Madame, there will be no going on

great dignity as he came out of the
grandstand.

Because I am no fool. I may be

were swapped for land in the north
west. The Minneapolis Tribune yes
terday had the following very inter
esting story giving some details or
the deal:
The police today undertook investi-
cation of some romantic "hoss' trades
in which there appear as leading char-
acters an old Mormon of many wives
and much love for fine steeds; a
wealthy Nebraskan who obtained the
rights to the horses when the Mormon
met an untimely end and left his many
wives widows; a Minneapolis firm and
some North Dakotans who are mourn
ing the loss of their lands which they
claim were traded for the horses.
J. S. Smith, claiming to be president
of the United States Live Stock Co.
of Omaha, so the detectives were
informed, is responsible for the tale
of the Mormon of the many wives and
fine steeds, and it is he, SO the detec-
tives were told, who claimed to have
obtained control Of the horses when
the Mormon met tragic end and
who has been selling the horses ever
since.
Horses Far Away.
None of the persons who have trad
ed lands and other valuables for the
horses which formerly belong to the
much married Mormon claims that
Mr.. Smith did not have horses to sell,
but these fine steeds have remained so
far out of the reach of the purchasers,
say they, that they never have been
able to get near enough even to get
a good look at them.
F. V. Guidinger, partner in the land
business with V. C. Gullickson, 939
Lumber Exchange building, told Mich
ael Duffy and E. F. Mulcahy, detec-
tives some of the history of the Nor
mon horse trades today and the detec-
tives went away wondering whether
the law was strong enough to return
to those who traded lands for horses
the lands they swapped. -
Detectives Look up Trades.
AS letters from James F. Brauer
Fargo, had mentioned Mr.. Gullickson
as being concerned in the trade Mr.
Brauer made for the Mormon stock

| Omaha. They also were in possession

finger, N. D., and they understood

Fight WAGED over
FARGO POsTOFFICE.
NORTH DAKOTA SENATORS oP-
POSE REMOVAL OF H. C. PLUM
LEY FROM PoslTloN--cLAEMED
THAT OLD BURKE FIGHT is
/ BACK OF DEAL.

In a dispatch to The Minneapolis
Journal yesterday from Washington,
w. w. Jermane says:
Most Of the North Dakota congress
sional delegation have started another
fight against the postoff1re department
in the case of, Fl. G. Plun1ley, post
master at Fargo. About ten days, ago
the department requested Plumley to
resign but he would not do SO until
he had information whether any
charges were, made against him. The
North Dakota senators took the mat
ter up with the department and went
over the record on the case and dis
covered nothing against Plumley's ef :.
f1ciency as a postmaster. .-
They assert, however, that the resig-
nation Of Plumley was requested be-
cause Of some articles printed in The
Fargo Forum in the campaigns of 1908
and 1910 attacking Gov. John Burke,
and, that the attempt to get Plumley
out of office may be laid at. Governor
Burkes door.
Plumley was manager Of The Forum
in the years named, although he stated
to the postoffice inspectors, who made
an inspection of his office, that he was
not in active charge of the paper. The
North Dakota senators have advised
Plumley not to resign and have served
notice on the postoff1ce department
that, If democrat is named as post
master at Fargo, the nomination will
be held up Indefinitely.
PIumiey Makes Statement. .s ;
The Forum called Postmaster Plum
ley's attention to the foregoing, and he
said that he was sorry that the matter
had leaked: out. He felt that it re-
flected upon the claim of the admin
istration that appointees would be al
lowed to serve out their terms-if they
were efficient. He also stated that he
could not believe that Hon. John Burke
was responsible for the charges as to
MS conduct Of The Forum three years
ago, as that incident had been annie
ably settled at conference between
Senator Thompson, Governor Burke
and himself held at the Metropole no.
besides, even If this was the case. 1t
should hardly interfere, as lono as
there We're no charges against the
Fargo office as to it's management.
tel in this city in September, 1910:
The two democratic postmasters of
Fargo, Messrs. w. G.. Judd and j, +
Hughes, had been allowed to serve out
their full terms by the republicans, and
the former had, served several months
over the period called for by his com
mission; under these circumstances II
would seem as If the democrats should
be equally courteous, and Mr.. Plumlev
said that he was of the opinion that
the request for a resignation Should he
withdrawn.
1t is the opinion Of The Forum that
the sentiment of the patrons of the
Fargo Office is decidedly in favor of
the present incumbent serving the ball
ance Of his term.
