Reports from 10th the C1arksburg
and wheeling Republican, congress
sional headquarters received today,
Indicate that the candidacy Of State
Senator George e. White continues
to grow I'M favor by leaps and bounds
Senator White has heen active
through the eastern section Of the
district all week and the ground he
has gained has thrown another de-
cided scare into+ the Democratic
camp.
Ohio county offers ample evidence
of the state of alarm existing In the
Nicely ranks. The y. J. O." ring be-
came feverishly active few days ago
in an apparent effort to head off the
White boom which is sweeping the
county. It was noticeable that tho
stir Immediately followed a semi
authoritative announcement from
Washington having 1t that Nicely
would name Or. ]. ]. o'kane as the
Wheeling postmaster by October 10.

every indication Brooke will give
White 400 toh50O majority, perhaps
more, as the Beall-Hodges fued has
hurt tile entire Democratic TICKET.
Hancock county is another White
stronghold. with nothing less than a
400 majority for the young Lewis
county statesman in prospect. q
The situation in Marion county,
acknowledged to be Neely's strong
hold, is reported as more favorable
than in many years. With Lewis and
Marshall both assured for White and
Harrison certain to givclno less than
an even break, the sole hope OF the
Democratic candidate lies in carrying
both Marion and Wetzel by bigger
maiorities, il anything, than were
returned him in 1913. In view OF this
situation, which is tacitly admitted
by many Democrats, Neely's chances
az reelection are fast fading. The
closing OF moro big mills in Wheeling
and the extension ofgeneral business
depression over the entire district as
a result OF destructive legislation
supported by Nicely at the dictatton
OF q Democratic congress under a
caucus-bound gag-rule are further
weakening his cause.

GERMANS SUFFERING
SHORTAGE OF HORSES.

PARIS, Oct. "a serious shortage
OF horses has developed in the Ger
man army as result of heavy losses
suffered by the cavalry.
It has been noticed that the Ger
man cavalry has not been as active
as formerly in the fighting now going
en- in the open country west of the
Disc, and this was explained today
when it was learned that many cav
alrymen have been turned into foot
soldiers because OF lack of mounts.
Commissions have been sent to
America and Norway to buy horses
for the German government. Their
real purpose is being kept carefully
concealed In both countries.

FARMERS WRATHY OVER
SHOOTING OF HORSES

+ Schafer, N. D., July 29.-The whole
sale slaughter of horses supposed to be
affected with dourine is becoming de-
cidedly unpopular with the ranchmen
In his part of the county. The ranch
men are beginning to think that the
talk Of horses being affected with
dourine Is all bosh. The ysay that they
have never known of a horse that has
died from the disease and that all OF
the horses hat ave been condemned
and shot were apparently in good
health.
Another thing that has lead the
ranchmen to believe that the govern
ment dourine inspection Is somewhat
of a fake is that government agents,
have attempted to kill horses that were
passed by the department as being free
from all traces of the disease. Two
government agents appeared at the
Chas. Foreman ranch on the Little
Missouri river the other day and ask
ed for a certain horse which they
stated had been condemned. Foreman
informed them that the government
would have to ~re-enforce its squad of
agents if they wanted to kill the horse
as he was in possession Of a certificate
stating that his horses were free from
the disease.
Eleven head of good, healthy work
horses were shot by government
agents the other day which were want
ed badly for work in the hay field.
These horses belonged to Mrs. w. Crist
and despite. her offer to isolate them,
they were shot. The killing of these
horses has caused Mrs. Crist con-
siderable inconvenience aside from the
financial loss. Mrs. CRISIS neighbors
and friends are very much stirred up
over the killing Of these horses.

FIND SKELETONS
AT FORDVILLE

Fordville, N. D, July 29.-While at
work in the gravel pit of the 500 east
Of Fordville last week the crew cut
into another of the Indian mounds
that cover the hill nea the pit, and a
number of remains of Indians were
again unearthed after their long sleep
in the hills that they once roamed so
freely.
At the time the 500 line was built
through here a few years ago the
steam shovels threw up a large num-
Der of skeletons while cutting through
this hill, and for a time the question
was raised that the skeletons were
not those Of Indians, but of people
who were here ahead of the Indians.
However, while there might have
been a few white men buried in the
hills, most Of the skeletons are plain
ly those Of the red men, and DR.. Lom-
men picked up a skull last week that
was a perfect Indian type. Some
beads and trinkets were unearthed
from this last mound, but they fell 10
pieces. 500 after the air struck them.
There are yet a number of mounds on
the hills out east, and from every
indication this locality was a favorite
spot of the red men, and they made
their home a great part of the time.
The river here, with the hills and the
fine natural timber, made this an ideal
winter camping place, and the I'M
covering of so many graves proves
that this was a permanent home spot
Of the Indians.
There are some reports that old set
tiers claim to have heard to the effect
that a big battle between the Indi-
ans and soldiers, or two tribes of In
dams, was fought on the hills east Of
here, and that the bodies of the dead
were piled into the holes on top Of the
hill promiscuously.

News of the Northwest
.HOLDUPS FIRE ON
WAHPETON NAN

Wahpeton, N. D., July 29.-Steve
Braun, the proprietor of the local
moving picture shows, had a thrilling
experience at his home on Fourth
street, having been shot at at close
range by either a would-be assassin
or a holdup man intent on robbery,
and. most likely the latter.
1t was nearing II o'clock when Mr..
Braun returned to his home and fol-
lowing his custom he went to the rear
part of the house to hook the screen
and open the door for the purpose of
securing better ventilation. He had
just stepped outside the door to ad-
just the screen when a stranger step
ped up to him and fired point blank
at his face, the gun being so close
to him that the powder burned his
face. The ball grazed past and en-
tered a room of the house, breaking
a dish.
Surprised and frightened by his
sudden and exciting experience, Mr..
Braun called for help and the gun
man took to his heels. The attempt
at assassination or robbery was so
sudden and so brief that in the dark
ness Mr.. Braun is unable to give any
accurate description of his assailant,
and his identity is therefore impossi-
BILE.
Neighbors Of MI. Braun who heard
the shooting and Mr.. Braun's outcry
saw two men running away from the
scene Of the shooting in a westerly
direction, and it is therefore evident
that the man who did the shooting
was not alone, and that robbery was
the motive. One of the men ran so
fast that he. lost his hat, which Is
now in the possession Of the sheriff.
The hat, which vas bought in Wi
mona, Mimi, is the only clue to the
wearer's identity, and seems to ind1.
cate quite clearly that he was a
stranger in town, and that it was not
worn by any local man.
People who have made a pretty
close investigation Of the circum-
stances are Of the opinion that Mr.
Braun vas followed to his home by
men who supposed him to have taken
some money home with him from the
show, and that the revolver was an
automatic affair and was accidentally
discharged, the intent of its holder
being only to hold up their victim and
secure the money he had by intimid&-
ton.

ALICE MAN ARRESTED
FOR SHOOTING DUCKS

Alice, N. D., July 29.-Julius LANCER!
a we'll known farmer enar here, who
has been under surveillance by the
game wardens for some time because
of the rumor that he was shooting
ducks, was arrested and fined. 1t cost
him about $25 for his fun under the
state law and he nay also be prose-
cuted under the federal law. He and
his hired man were using their artil-r
lery in a slough on the farm when
they were detected. There were two
witnesses to their shooting and Jus
tice Wadeson was convinced Of Lang
er's guilt. The evidence against the
hired man was incomplete and he was
not placed on trial, although held in
custody over night.
