ALPHA

The Alpha people are showing
very little interest in the railroad
as they figure the road will not
come close enough to benefit
them much.
The W. o. w. lodge has COM
pleted their plans for the erection
of a hall and the several commit
tees on donations report very
successful campaign. The cities
of Beach and Sentinel Butte and
the Alpha people have very lib.
orally contributed toward the
project and the boys of the lodge
certainly appreciate their help.
The hall is to be 36 by 80,
hip roof building with full 8 #.
basement. The basement is to be
used for a library, kitchen and
cloak rooms. The main floor to
be used for all purposes, such as
lodge rooms. theatre, dances and
every other form Of amusement,
such as political meetings, rail
road promotions, etc. The mem
bers of the lodge have incorpor-
ated and expect to sell shares, the
directors of the incorporation are
W. Y. Barnett, Edward Eide,
John Adams, Arthur Johnston
VIM. Timms, Claude Schouboe
and w. H. Carew.
1t is expected to have the hall
completed by the middle of June
and maybe used as a Union De-
pot if the new road favors US and
another building is not available.

Extra seats had been secured and
placed on the floor anticipating a
la.ge crowd. but when the doors
were opened at 8:l5 it was soon
apparent that the building would
not hold the gathering to say
nothing of seating them. Every
seat in the building was occupied,
the floor was packed to the back
walls as we'll as the lobby and a
great number gathered at the
windows on the outside-and
many went away.
The speaker, following few
remarks by E. D. Logan, opened
his address at $50 and spoke
until 80. only being interrupt
ed by applause from the aud
ience.
He gave his reasons for ad-
dressing them personally instead
of through the newspapers, as
well as his reasons for Speaking
the eve of election and following
the rules of political warfare as
laid down by his opponents in
previous political campaigns in
the city, and then took up differ
ent subjects dealing with the past
city administration giving figures
and certified records to back up
his arguments.
The speaker did not deal in
any personalities, other than to
speak of and condemn the acts
of certain city officials. speaking
Of them as officials and not as
private citizens.
lis entire address was well re-
ceived by the large audience and
he was repeatedly interrupted by
ehee ing and applause Not be-
ing public speaker he s>ked the
Gov d to overieo;s any b|vnder,

inexrerience as speaker, but in
spite of this fact he t..ld the
strict attention of the large aud
fence throughout the entire three
hours of his talk. which wa,
spiced with wittisisms and ear
casm. and when he closed he was
cheered to an echo.
The meeting and talk was a
surprise to many and practically

J. w. Brinton
Elected Mayor
In the Most Holly Contested
Election in the History of the
City-Won by Two Votes
Over j. p. Smith-Vote Isl
to 149.

Over J. p. Smith-Vote ISL
to 149.
In one of the most exciting and
bitter city elections ever held in
the city of Beach, ]. w. Brinton,
editor of the Chronicle. was elect
ed mayor over P. Smith, presi-
dent and manager of the Golden
Valley Telephone company, by a
vote of Isl to l4o.
. All kind of surprises were
sprung and stunts pulled off in an
effort to turn the tide. following
the speech made by Brinton
Saturday night, but to no avail.
Sunday night a gun play was pull
ed in the Progress office in which
it was alleged that an attempt
was made upon the life of r. O..
Zollinger. An extra was printed
, following the affair and used as
campaign thunder on the streets
on election day. 1t was insinuat-
ed that Brinton, or his friends,
attempted to take Zolliger's life
on account of the bitter attack
made on Brinton in the Beach
Advace-which the Smith forces
claim was written by Zollinger. A
bullet was fired, sometime during
the night, through the Progress
window and into the back of a
chair and the campaign extra
claimed that Zollineer was sitting
in the chair at the time. Little
credit has been given the story
and there seems to be no effort
on the part of the peace officers
to investigate the matter.
During election day several ar
( rests were made, alleging illegal
voting. and excitement was high
all day and up until the result was
announced.
There was 3Ol votes cast, the
largest in the history of the town,
and one ballot was not voted but
cast in blank. leaving 300 cast on
the question of mayor.
The fight for alderman was al
so spirited, only one out-and-out
6rinton man being elected on the
board. ]. B. Linger, in the third
ward.
Smith carried the first ward by
; votes, the second by l3 and
lost the third by Is, leaving Brin-
ton a majority of 2.
There was some talk of con-
test on account of illegal voting,
but if there was any voting of
this kind there was as much on
ore side as the other, and moth
ing could be gained by such a
course other than to stir up addi-
tional strife and hard feelings. A
great deal of question was raised
over voting persons who had
lived in town over winter and had
hired out in the country before
election. Voters from the coun-
>try on both sides were voted und-
'er these conditions, and each side
claimed the other side had no
right to do this. Challenging of
votes continued all day and many
were sworn in. One man was ar
rested after he had sworn in his
vote and another was prevented
from voting by being arrested
+,nd jailed. Both men are now
out under bail and their hearings
will come up later.
The following is the result as
shown by the official count:
