Divide COUNTY
CONTEST IS Due
WILL BE HEARD IN THE DISTRICT
COURT AT CROSBY BEFORE
JUDGE LEIGHTON.

Crosby, N. D., June 5.-The ques-
ton Of whether Crosby or Ambrose is
the legally selected county seat of Di-
vide county will be threshed out in
the district court when the contest
involving that question is heard by
Judge Leighton when he opens court
here June 9.
Crosby is the present county seat,
but a contest is pending in which it
is alleged by the Ambrose parttsans
that certain votes counted for Crosby
We're illegal, in that they were not
cast at the officially designated poll
ing place.
In the election conducted last year
Crosby was returned the winner by a
substantial majority. An investigation
was made and it was alleged that in
eight precincts the polling places were
established at points different from
those designated by the board of coun-
ty commissioners. Throwing out these
eight precincts would give Ambrose a
majority.
Subsequent to the first meeting of
the board of canvassers, and after the
board has adjourned, a special meet
ing was called and another canvass
was made, and certain village officials
from different precincts in the county
were called in to make corrections.
In the Ambrose suit it is contended
that the board of ~canvassers had no
authority to meet again, as the board
was automatically declared out of ex-
istenee when it adjourned after it's
first meeting.
Several of the features involved in
this case are identical with those pre-
vailing in Burke county, where Lig-
mite secured the greatest vote, but
where the heaviest Ignite vote was
cast in the wrong polling place, or at
IA polling place not properly located.
Ignite was eventually defeated for
county seat honors, BowbeIls gaining
in the courts of the state.

HoMEsEEkERs EXCURSIONS.

The homeseekers' excursion an
nounced by the different railways fol
visitors from outside the state to the
State Exposition at Bismarck is an
additional reason why our own people
should make a point of being pres
ent at the big show from October
7th to 10Th. There they will meet
farmers and business men from all
parts Of the United States, many OF
whom will be there with the inten
ton of becoming residents of North
Dakota in the near future.
If you have lands to sell, here is
your opportunity. If you desire tc
secure new neighbors here also is the
place where you can interest pros
pective homesteaders. Come loaded
with facts and exhibits. Practical
demonstration is even better than
persuasive words. Show, these visit
ors what you have done. The rest
should be easy. .-.

"Safety"-

RAILROAD STARTS CAMPAIGN
FOR MORE CAUTION IN HAND.
LING TRAFFIC.
There's a safe way to do it.
Do it that way-Start Now.

In line not alone with it's own eff.
forts, but also with the eneral trend
Of public opinion toward increased
care and safety in railroad operation,
the Northern Pacific railway, through
its bureau Of efficiency, has adopted
another means of furthering this OBJ
ject.
A brilliant red warning card read
ing, worded as above, is being posted
in the shops, roundhouses and yards
all over the system. Seal clerks, yard
clerks and other employees who seal
cars and tack destination or switch
movement cards on cars, will also car.
ry supply of those cards with them
and attach one on the side and corner
of each car near the pin-lifting lever.
Both large and small stations are be.
ing supplied with the cards in an effort
to promote still greater degree Of
care and caution in the performance
of duties.
Education of employees is the key
note of the efficiency campaign of the
Northern Pacific. 1t is unique in that
it relates to the increase of efficiency
in every line and is not system Of
rules, but one of education. BY means
of bulletins and lectures delivered by
division superintendents and by the
officers of the bureau. the employees
are instructed in the various means Of
preventing accidents and are shown
the ways in which the accidents are
most likely to occur. The employees
themselves are showing great interest
in furthering the movement. They
realize that it is matter Of great
personal interest to themselves and
their families, and they are all anx-
ious to learn.

FORTY MEN ARE WORKING TO
SAVE TosHEskY, BURIED
SINCE FRIDAY.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-Signals
were received. today from Thomas
Toshesky, miner who has been en-
tombed in the mammoth vein Of the
Continental mines near Centralia
since last Friday. Forty men have
been working day and night to rescue
the man and today Fred M. Chase
general manager Of the Lehigh Valley
Coal company announced that Tos
hesky will be reached within two days
Food is being supplied to the entomb
ed man by means Of two-inch pipe
which was driven through rock and
coal to reach him.
Friday morning Toshesky and his la
borer, Frank Oombriski, fired shot
and went up the gangway to await re-
suits. Toshesky ventured back and
while he was in the chamber the pill
lar gave way and he was enclosed
His laborer gave the alarm and the
work of rescue started The rescu.
ers were handicapped because the pill
lar continued crumbling.
i At 1915 a. m. today two inch pipe
was run through a hole that had been
drilled. Physicians have been on hand
since Toshesky was entombed and
they passed food down in specially
made canisters.' The first thing to 20
down was an electric searcnlight. Tor
hesky had been in the dark since Fri
day and the physicians deemed it ad-
visable to first give him ngnt.
The first food sent down was warm
beef broth. Later other food and
drink was given Toshesky. Today the
rescuers conversed with Toshesky and
he asked them to send him some
clothing. A four-inch pipe Will be put
down and by this means clothing will
be sent.
The rescuers will have 20 bore
through about eighty feet of solid
rock to reach Toshesky. The work Of
rescue is slow and must be done very
carefully.
