Burdtck at Grand Forks, March
9---0|son Endorses Hanna

Grand Forks, March 17.-U. L..
Burdick of Williston has announced
his platform in the campaign which
he expects to make for the republi-
can nomination for governor. The
most striking feature of his platform
is his proposition to abolish the game
warden system of enforcing game
laws and have the work done by the
county officials. Mr.. Burdick endors-
es four year terms for state officials,
favors woman suffrage, amendments
to the primary election and corrupt
practices act, short ballot and the in
itiative and referendum, effective
against both constitution and stat
utes.
Following his Grand Forks address
he speaks at Hillsboro, Fargo and
Mandan. At each of these meetings
organizations will be formed, and he
expects to continue on the stump
until after the election.
Bismarck, March 18.-State Treas
urer Gunder Olson has written Gov.
Hanna letter expressing apprecia-
tion of the work that the governor is
carrying on, and urging his re-elec-
ton, assuring the governor that he
will do all in his power to help him
secure the nomination. Treasurer
Olson says in part:
II wish to express my appreciation
of the manner in which you have
conducted the affairs of the state and
the earnest effort which you have put
forth to secure efficiency and econo-
my in all departments of the state
government. I believe that your SER
vices as governor are needed for an
other term at least, in order that you
may fully carry out the many plans
which you have for the farming and
business interests of our people and
for better and more economical
state government, and hope that you
will become a candidate for re-elec-
tion.'

DOYLE, OF CARING
TON, LANDS JOB
Nominated For U. 5. Marshal
For North Dakota.

Washington, d. c., March 16.-
nominations by the president of
Stephen Doyle of Darlington, N. D.,
to be United States marshal of North
Dakota, and John Ross of Sioux
Falls, s. D., to be register land offic-
er, at Belle Fourche, S. D., are ex-
pected to be taken up by the senate.
Doyle's candidacy has been hanging
fire for several weeks, and the fight
for this patronage plum has attract
ed a number of leading democrats to
Washington, who have become per-
sonally active in the matter. VIM.
Collins of Bottineau was the other
candidate. Doyle's appointment was
made over the heads of National
Committeeman Bruegger and chair
man of the state committee, D. H.
Macarthur, both of whom asked for
Collins appointment. The files of
the case show that John Burke had
given Collins letter of endorsement
also. It is the first time the state Or
ganization has been turned down in
the appointment of U. S. marshal. 1t
is reported from Washington that
both Bruegger and Macarthur had
been ignoring local organizations in
recommendations that were made for
appointments, and that applicants for
positions in North Dakota had been
informed by Bruegger that the sue
cessful candidate for a job must pay
over a certain per centage of his sal
ary "for organization purposes"
This information has come from such
sources that the administration was
disgusted, and old soldiers in the
democratic party state that President
Wilson would appoint no man select
ed by an organization because of
such a pledge.

FATAL PRAIRIE FIRE.
One Girl Burned to Death-AnOther
Child Badly Burned.

Bismarck, March 1S.-Sunday last
a prairie fire swept over portion of
Dunn and Mercer counties. During
the absence at church of Rev. Samuel
Bloomhagen and wife, their five chill
dren were left at home alone, were
driven from the house by the prairie
fire, and two of the children were un-
able to escape.
AS a consequence one of the chill
dren, girl eight years old, lost her
life, and son, Herman, aged ten,
was burned so badly about the face
and body that his recovery at present
is considered extremely doubtful.
The little fellow was brought here
Sunday night, and is receiving treat
ment at the Bismarck hospital.
The minister lost his home and
practically all of his earthly belong
ings. While home alone the children
saw the fire rapidly approaching the
house, as it was carried on by the
heavy wind storm of Sunday. They
realized that to save their lives they
must hurry for shelter, but they were
too late, as they were caught in the
smoke and flames by gusts of wind.
The little girl perished from being
suffocated in the smoke.
Her brother, Herman, did heroic
work in saving the other children,
and though he was frightfully burn
ed he walked with them a mile and
half to neighbors for assistance. BY
the time their parents had returned
from church their home and contents
had been completely destroyed.
No one seems to know how the
fire was caused. 1t started during
the early part of the day in Dunn
county, and swept the dry prairies
for over fifty miles, till it reached a
point on the Knife river between Ha-
zen and Beulah, two of the new towns
on the Stanton line extension.
Miles of farming country was de-
vastated by the awful confagration
and a good many farmers through
out that section lost all of their
buildings.
