On Friday the board went in body
and viewed the two roads leading
from Deloit to Kiron, one known as
the section line road and the other
as the Newcom hill road. The citi-
zens of Kiron had petitioned the
board for the section line road, while
other citizens equally interested had
asked for the Newcom hill road After
going over both roads the board
finally decided upon the section line
road, running between Stockholm and
Otter Creek townships.
No doubt there will be number of
petitions presented at the hearing
on June Sd, and the board will have
it's hands full in making the final Sc
lections.

was attracted to the Jail by the cries
Of the mob Of lynchers, was terribly

Of Williston also was badly treated by
the crowd when he attempted to in

Sheriff Erickson escaped rough

Burdick Will Investigate.
States Attorney Burdick said this
noon that he would cause a complete
investigation into the affair. though,
as yet, the officials were without in
formation as to the identity of the
men. as all were completely masked.
Culbertson's piteous pleas for mercy
are described by Sheriff Erickson, who
says the prisoner, on his bended
knees, prayed to his God that the mob
would let him go.
Second Visit by Mob.
This mornings visit of the mob
and its lynching of Culbertson was
the second visit made to Williston.
Saturday night a large number Of men
appeared in town, but nothing was

Culbertson's crime was without mo-

extreme.
Early Threats of Lynclling.
Az the time of the murder, when
Culbertson was first arrested. there
were threats Of lynching. and only

Culbertson was convicted last

trouble. but nothing occurred, and

Fisk yesterday. Culbertson was to
have been taken to the penitentiary
today.
Brutal Treatmcnt at Bridge.
While no details of the scene that
occurred at the bridge when Culbert-
son was swung into eternity can lie
obtained, officials believe that the
prisoner was treated brutally, as evil
dcnced by their treatment Of him
both at the jail and on the way to
tho place where he was executed.
Examination of the ground where
the affair occurred shows that prac-
tically all the members of the mob
were on the bridge when the man

Evidence gained during the day In

were from outside Of Williston, as Of
ficials followed the route taken by
the lynchers within very short time
of the hour they left here, and they
met no returning parties, nor were
any parties seen to enter the city from

and 1t is believed that the major por-

Inquest Is Held.
An inquest was commenced early
this afternoon into the lynching Of
Culbertson. but no evidence was intro
duced to indicate the identity OF any
Of the parties implicated.
The inquest. however. revealed the
fact that the crowd of lynchere really
numbered less than forty. and that
only three automobiles were used in
conveying the men.

Omcials now believe that some of
the men may have come from Mon

sentiment there was very bitter against
Culbertson. Only eight months ago
there was lynching at Mondak.
The coroner's jury had not returned

Washington. Dec. 1.-two pro-
posals for the reorganization Of the
republican party. to find a basis upon
which the discordant elements can
unite, confronted the national COM
mitteemen. The foremost 10 a pro-
posal for a special convention to re.
adjust the system Of delegate repre-

ton be called, but that the national
committee fix plan OF reapportion-
ment for the ratification by state con.
ventionS.
Two resolutions for the considera-
ton of a convention were prepared by
a. special committee consisting OF
Warren Of Michigan; Borah Of Idaho;
Hadley of Missouri; Smoot Of Utah
and Howell Of Nebraska. Before the
committee read Its report, the nation-

Warren then detailed the inequali-
ties Of representation in the last ma
tional convention, stating that abso-
lutely equal representation was not
possible. but that the big inequalities
must cease.
Another plan for basis Of repre-
sentation submitted follows: each
state to have four delegates at large
and one delegate from each congress
sional district where the republican
vote is more then twenty and not
more then forty per cent Of the total
vote: two delegates to each congress
sional district where the republican
vote is more then forty per cent Of
the total vote Of the state.
Two resolutions, one for special
convention, and the second for imme-
diate determination Of the basis of
representation for the 1915 conven-
ton. were finally presented to the
committee. The resolutions were
adopted to admit Senator Cummins
and Representative Woods Of iowa, of

olution proposing the national conven-

Policemen Who Escaped
Penal Servitude Through
Error Goes Free.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 16.-Governor
Dunno today pardoned Maurice En-
right, under life sentence for the Vim
cent Altman murder in Chicago and
Joshua Tedford, the former Chicago
policeman who escaped serving a PEN
itentiary sentence through clerical
error.
Both pardons are on recommends
ton Of the pardon board.
Enright was convicted in 1911. the
killing being the result of a labor war
which held Chicago in it's grasp.
Tedford was convicted in 1903 for
conspiracy to defeat justice, and was
given an indeterminate term. The
supreme court mandate directing the
enforcement sentence was pigeon
holed by the clerk of the criminal
court and lay unheeded seven years.
While Tedford was awaiting sentence
he obtained employment and in ten
years since his conviction he has risen
to the superintendency Of big State
street retail establishment.
