LARGE CROWD AT COUNTY COM
MIssIoNER's MEETING TUES
DAY TO HEAR HIM.

The annual state meeting of the

who was on the program for al talk,
gave one Of the best speeches ever
given in the court house. There was

what the governor had to say. He
touched upon the matter Of immigra

buy out farmers, that our efforts
should be to keep the farmers, which
We now have, and to give them en-
couragement by providing better con

conditions, etc. He dwelt on the mat
ter of better roads, and gave some val

ATTEMPT TO ROB
DENB|CH BANK
MEN BELIEVED TO BE JOHN MAD
ROGER CAROL TAKEN IN
CHARGE

One. Of the boldest attempts at bank
robbery in the history Of North ia.
kota was made at 'clock yesterday
afternoon. when two men, believed to
be John and Roger Carol, entered the
Denbigh State bank, at Denbigh and
endeavored to make Assistant CASH
ier H. F. Cartschafner turn over the
fnuds of the bank at the point of
pistol.
Cartschafner was in the bank alone
at the time Cashier Pollock having
gone out. The two men entered by
the front door and when Cartschafncr
! looked up he found himself looking in
to the muzzle of big gnu.
The wouldbe robbers backed him
to the rear Of the bank and while one
of them covered him the other enter
ed the vault.
Just at this time Cashier F. f. Pol
lock entered and he too was covered
and backed into the rear of the bank.
Grabbing an opportune moment how
ever, he suddenly grapplel with one
of the men and during the scuffle
Ca'rtschafner escaped to the street
where he summoned assistance.
Several citizens who We're passing at
the time Immediately rushed into the
bank and the would-be bandits were
soon overpowered and locked in the
vault pending the arrival Of the sher-
/ iff. When the sheriff arrived later he
took them to Towner and lodged them
in Jail, where charge of attempted
bank robbery will undoubtedly be
lodged against them.
John and Roger Carol, who are be.
lieved to be the men who attempted
to rob the State bapk, have been hang
ing around Denbigh for some time.
If the attempt to rob the bank yes.
terday had proved successful large
amount Of currency would have prob
ably been secured, as there was quite
sum Of money on hand.

TO CITIZENS Of
NORTH DAKOTA

The State Votes for Women League
has opened headquarters in room 524
deLendrecie building, at Fargo. the
room being contributed by our treas.
urer, Mrs. Helen deLendrecie. From
this place q campaign for equal suf-
frage will be carried on until the next
general election, which occurs Novem.
ber 3rd, 1914, on which date we hope
to see the complete franchise granted
to women Of the state.
A conservative estimate of the
amount needed to carry on this cam
paign from the first of this year until
the November election is $4,000. This
will provide for merely the cost Of
maintaining headquarters and suppor5'
ing three or four field workers during
the summer. It will leave much to be
done by volunteer workers, but at
least $500 must be surely fcrthco,n
ing.
Of this sum the Nationai Suffrage
association donates the sum Of $i0C q
month, OF $1,000 for the campaign
This leaves for the North Dakota
state league the sum of $4,000 to raise
by popular contribution, that it may
have at hand sufficient funds will
which to carry on winning battle.
OF this sum we have received to date
$106.92. We need approximately So,
400 more.
We solicit aid from all our friends
ssnd contributions-big, middle sized
or little, to our acting treasurer, Mrs
Emma s. Pierce, box 725, Fargo N
D. We will accept checks, drafts
money orders, express orders, cash ane
postage stamps. An attested treasur
er's financial statement will be pub
lished monthly.
The men and women of the state ar
cordially invited to headquarters a
any time for advice and suggestions

GREAT LAKE REGION N|D-W|NTER
FAIR COMES To SUCCESSFUL CLOSE
GREAT CROWDS IN THE CITY AND
MUCH ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
IN ALL LINES.

AS we go to press (Thursday after.
nono) the Mid-Winter Fair is just
winding up the business. after one of
the most successful of al the fairs
held in this city. While the weather
has been little cold, there has been
good crowd present each day aud
great enthusiasm has been showr in
the various exhibits, which to say the
least has surpassed all expectations.
The various departments were over
flowing with some Of the best exhib-
its of farm produce that one could
imagine. The roller rink. where most
of the exhibits were displayed was
crowded with people each day gazing
on the various classes Of work and the
grain and vegetable displays which
were extremely Gratifying to the peo-
PIE of the Lake Region. Not only
Ramsey county. but the whole Lake
Region of the state was represented
by various exhibits Of grains and
school work. One Of the finest ex-
hibits of the whole exposition wac the
display Of work from the various
schools. Over 80 schools were repre-
sented. aind this was the pride, not
only Of superintendents and teachers
but the pupils and their parents as
p,oN rho oxh;h;Ao chow, &ho ,&and,no
and the work done by our educators
and is most gratifying.
The cattle exhibit wab good one
and drew large crowds to look over
the fine line Of stock. including cattle,
hogs and sheep expressing surprise and
pleasure at the same time.
The dog show included about 81 an.
imass of nearly all breeds and much
interest was taken in this sction OF
the fair. From the smallest terrier
!, to the mastiff and wolf hoduds nearly
every breed was represented.
The poultry exhibit was probably
the best that was ever shown at any
fair in the Lake Region and some ex
pressed the opinion that while the ex
hibit was not so large as was seen at
the state fair, that it was al choicel
lot of birds. Nearly every variety Of
foul from the pigeon to the peacock
was on exhibition looking for red and
blue ribbons, and no part Of the fai,
attracted more attention and pleasure
than hits branch.
Owing to the fact that we go K
press before the fair has closed we arc
unable to give all the details and lis
Of premiums, hut h"pe to publish then
next week.

BONDING TRUST
IS SHOWN Up

At the session of the state meeting
of the county commissioners which is
held in this city, the bonding trus!
was given q severe jolt Wednesday,
and many of his nefarious methods
were shown up. It is probably one
of the worst trusts that the people Of
this state have to deal with, and at
the last session of the legislature a
law was passed giving the state the
power to bond public officials, but the
trusts found remedy to kill this of
by going to the supreme court, who
clared the law unconstitutional. At
the time this bill was introduced in
the legislature our wise % attorney
general, Andy Miller, furnished writ
ten opinion to. certain members of the
Legislature, that the bill as introduced
would stand the test, if it became a
law, but it sevms that the supreme
cour looked at this law through diff
ferent pair of specs from what Miller
did, and when the proper time came
they knocked the whole thing out and
our state is still in the grip Of this
band of blood suckers. It is hoped
that at the next session of our; legis-
lature another such law wi be intro.
IIduced and passed, after the holes are
properly plugged up SO the supreme
court can't get away from it. 8

was no one there to tell them that
malice may be inferred from proof
of wrongful act, or that they could
disregard THE technical charges and
adopt resolutions setting forth mai
feasances or misfeasances that they
considered proven.
AS to the possibility that an en-
Tloyee of the government can give
his best efforts to his duties under
these circumstances and rules of en-
ployment the answer is obvious; these
are the principles that have made for
the best of service; THE clerk in I'm
Gle Sans water store has no right to
expect other treatment. Mr.. Fallen's
argument seems to take the position
that water-master is not doing his
duty unless he is grinding some wa
ter-user and violating the sense of
justice of substantial portion of the
community; he may claim that the
rules require these things; if they do,
so much the worse for the rule, but
we venture to assert that the abso-
lutely impartial enforcement of any
rule makes no trouble if enforced in
a decent and considerate spirit, too
rarely employed by officials.
Director Asp voted to dismiss the
charges against Mr.. Bailey, the
charge of "maliciousness" not having
been proved, but he stated that Mr..
Kollenborn did not get the water he
was entitled to; this was the fault of
the ditch-rider, as were other things;
Mr.. K complained to Mr.. Badlev,
who devotes his time and energies to
supporting, generating and white
washing his subordinate and perhaps
trying to find ways and means and
rules under which and by which Mr..
K. can be further wronged, annoyed
and insulted, instead of using his best
endeavors to right wrongs remove
annoyances and promote substantial
justice. The special agent investiga-
ted these things and found no diff
Guilty in securing sworn evidence suf-
ficient for his report upon which the
Washington authorities acted, and il
is idle to assert that their decision was
without due consideration or hasty
because Mr.. Bailey was backed up
by the local officials or for any other
reason he has given. Mr.. Badley's
support of his subordinate in a harsh
application of rules, in his neglect oil
the rights of the wateruser, has met
with a merited rebuke from the Re-
clamation Bureau, and, if the burden
ed wateruser has any rights that an
official is bound to respect, other EN-.
ployeeS of the service may expect the
same treatment.

COUNTY OFFICES ARE
in SPLENDID
CONDITION

1T is pleasure to be able to as
sure you of the satisfactory condition
of affairs l find to prevail in the va
rious Offices of your county and of the
earnest and serious effort that is so
evident in each. The officials are uni
formly striving to place the plane of
business in Canyon county at the head
of the business system of officials in
similar positions in the state, and they
have done we'll in this effort"
The foregoing paragraph is from
the report of State Examiner A. w.
Van Mugs of the state auditors of
fee after examining the accounts,
records. files and bonds of the county
officers of Canyon county. Through
out the report is highly flattering to
our county officers. The state exam
liner particularly commends the action
of the county commissioners in de-
handing the county repositories to
rrovide either surety bonds or war;
rants or utility bonds for the safety
Of county funds. He also states that
he found that Treasurer Monk had
distributed the county funds equitably
among the county repositories.
