IN CANADA,

Harry X. Thaw, murderer Of Stan

at Matteawan, N. Y, disappearing in
cloud of dust before the eyes Of
Harvard Barnum, the gate keeper.
Five confederates manned the car and
it was trained by big limousine. For
day or so no word was heard from
the missing man. He was finally
captured at Sherbrooke, Can, just
over the line from New Hampshire,
and was placed in Jail. He will fight
extradition.
Thaw may be deported on either Of
two grounds, namely:
No immigrant may be permitted to
land in Canada who is weak minded,
or thru extradition proceedings, in
stituted by the state of New York,
charging Thaw with bribery. If he is
taken back to New Hampshire, the
governor will turn him over to the
New York authorities.

there with Mr.. Keillen, industrial

were taken towards organizing for

hap-hazard advertising, much Of
which cost much money but produced

LSUEUR, DAVIS, SHAW AND
CARROLL HOLD SESSION YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON-LOOKS
LIKE TROUBLE is SETTLED.

The first steps in the settlement of
the l. w. w. troubles in this city was
taken yesterday afternoon when Ar
thur LeSueur, representing the l. w.
WIS and the Socialists, met with
President N. Davis and Police Com
missioner Shaw in the Office Of Assis-
tant States Attorney Dorr H. Carroll,
who acted as mediator
The trouble was threshed out. All
agreed that it was foolish to proceed
further. President Davis stated that
the authorities were not against free
speech, but against speaking on the
main thorofares. He believed an ar
rangement could be made to give the
l. w. WIS side street or vacant
lot back of the Jail where the "bull
pen" is now situated. 1t was suggest
ed that the famous pen be torn down
and the hallowed ground used for
speaking purposes. This seemed
agreeable to Mr.. LeSueur and Nh
Shaw.
Mr.. LeSueur stated that some of the
|. w. WIS had been beaten up pretty
severely by the police and urged the
authorities to change their tactics
He promised to do what he could to
quiet the trouble under those con-
ditions. No one believed that the
trouble could be ended at once as there
was SO much bitter feeling.
The police were instructed to make
any arrests Wednesday night in as
quiet manner as possible and lead
the prisoners away to Jail. The pris-
oners in the county and city Jail were
to be turned loose.
1t was generally agreed that condi-
tions were growing worse instead of
better, and that it would be but a
question of a night or two until there
would be serious bloodshed.
To Mrs. Seed, wife of Dr.. D., T.
Seed, is due considerable Of the credit
for getting the parties together.
How the Plan Worked Out.
The police appeared on the streets
Wednesday night instructed. to- use as
much precaption .,as possible. s-Alarge

none of the occupants of the smoker

caught fire, but as a pond was near
by, there was little trouble in putting
out the blaze.
The observation car did not leave

aware that serious wreck had oc-
Cured. The track was badly torn up.
The dead men were beating their

The jolt threw the shovel in with the
coal and the fireman fell when the

The wreck of the elevator was pc
culiar. The smoking car was forced
half way into bin of grain and the
elevator shunted several feet off it's
foundation.
Wrecking trains were sent out from

crowd had gathered expecting to see
some excitement.
An l. W w. bobbed up and at
tempted to speak from the curbing.
He was nabbed. A second was ar
rested and third was taken, each one
showing some fight.
Women Mix in Fight.
Two women ran into the street and
attacked the police. w. C. McHugh,
a bystander, attempted to pick one of
of them up when she fell over the
curbing. The women then attacked
Mr.. McHugh, one giving him biff
on the jaw. They were placed under
arrest One of them is Mrs. Parish.
Struck Dwire With Rock.
James DWlre was assisting Officer
Reed arrest one fellow when someone
from the Titanic struck Mr.. Dwire a
terrific blow on the back of the neck
with a rock, knocking him out for
several moments.
Engineer Threw Coal.
John Sims, G. N. engineer, STEP
ped down from his cab and struck
Officer Reed with chunk of coal, cut
ting cash in his cheek. Sims was
arrested.
1t is believed that from now on the
trouble will grow less. Citizens are
asked to keep off the streets at night
as much as possible. This will make
the work Of the officials less.
When Officer Swigart ordered J. C.
Hoff, the Palermo publisher, to move
on, Hoff just laughed and there was
something doing. Hoff moved.
Mrs. Hazlett followed the police
while they were taking a prisoner to
jail and hooted them. She was threat
ened with arrest.
Exciting Time Tuesday Night.
Tuesday night was exciting for an
hour. Several arrests were made and
the men were hustled out of the city.
The police used their clubs freely. Sew
eral women interfered and were
threatened with arrest Many I. w.
WIS asked to be arrested but the po-
lice ignored them, the jails already
being full. The police kept the crowds
moving and by nine o'clock the trou-
BILE had abated. One of the men ar
rested was J. L. Miller, the agitator.
Officer Scott McGregor, leading
prisoner, was grabbed by four women.

EXAGGERATED
HAS BEEN HANDLED
WITHOUT A NY SERIOUS
CONSEQUENCES - DEVELOPS
INTO BITTER POLITICAL
FIGHT - OFFICERS HAVE SIT.
UATION WELL IN HAND.

For the benefit of those outside of
the city, who may desire to come here
to trade, the Independent wants to say
most emphatically, that there never
has been any danger of serious con-
sequences since the first l. w. w. set
his foot in Minot. The struggle has
resolved itself into stubborn fight,
the I. w. WIS being fully determined
in time to speak where they please
and when they please. The local Of
ficers are just as determined that the
men shall not gather large crowds on
the street, but state emphatically that
there is no reason why they cannot
speak in any hall or on any vacant
lot they may secure. They merely
do not intend to let traffic be interfer-
ed with on our streets if they can
help it.
& There has been no shooting, except
one afternoon when several mounted
police shot into the air to frighten
the men out of the jungles. Not one
of the I. w. WIS has been found car
rying gun and in no instance has one
of them been found guilty of doing
violence. The leaders, Jack Law and
Jack Allen, are still here and it is
understood that the men have been
instructed not to resist the officers
when placed under arrest.
Many Are Turned Loose.
Quite a large number of the men
from the city and county jails have
been freed, when they signitied their
intention Of leaving the city. A large
number of them have gone quietly in
to the country with farmers who are
employing them at good wages.
Commercial Club Assists.
The Commercial club has been do
ing some extra good work in finding
places in the country for these men
and others who seek employment. Sec
retary Dill is on the job all the time
and he is able to furnish men about
as fast as the farmers cal for them.
The men find welcome at the club
room, play checkers and read mag
azines while waiting for employers.

CITY COMMISSIONER DECLARES
HE DID NOT SAY HE DOES NOT

TION OF THE UNITED STATES
PETITION TO RECALL HIM.

D. c .Dorman, city commissioner
and prominent Socialist, denies the
report that he declared while on the
stand that he did not believe in the
constitution of the United States, in
the constitution of the state of North
Dakota, nor in his oath. Dorman
claims that what he said was miscon.
strued. The Independent trusts that
Mr.. Dorman did not make such rash
statements, for we want to know him
as good, law abiding citizen.
Shortly after Mr.. Dorman had Civ
en- his testimony, petition to recall
him was circulated and it has been
largely signed.
