Henry D. Clayton, who, as chairman of
the Judiciary committee of h house
Of representatives, will be the legis-

Mr.. Clayton, in his appearance and

with a somewhat stumbling gait and
easy, informal His clothes
hang upon him rather loosely; his
cavernous face, his lined features and
deep-set eyes, his large, loosely jointed
jaw-swinging swiftly from right to

mind the traditional ante-bellum
Southern statesman. At first sight he
does not make a favorable impression,
His attitude is rather distant and sus-
picious; he says little himself and does
not rise readily to conversational bats.
However one may wish it otherwise,
a strangers talk with Mr.. Clayton is
usually monologue on the strangers
part. Clearly this unapproachableness
however, is not hostility or indiffer-
ence; more likely it is diffidence, a

LONG SENTENCES
GIVEN ROBBERS

Bottineau. n. D., Marcn 9.-Plead-
terday to charges of attempting to rob
the Denhigh State bank, Roger Karl,
aged rs. was sentenced to seven years
in state prison., and John Karl, aged
20, was given three years.
The men made a sensational effort
to rob the bank. appearing before the
cashier in broad daylight, heavily
armed, and demanding the cash. The
arrival Of another bank official and
his quick work in overpowering the
men, locking them in the vault, pre-
vented the robbery.
Roger Karl had only been recently
paroled from states prison.

BESSESEN OUT FOR
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

Harvey, N. D., March 9.-H. J.
Bessesen, former state senator, has an
nounced his candidacy for lieutenant
governor. This is a popular movement
here. 1t is generally Understood that
Mr.. Bessesen became a candidate larg-
ely at the solicitation Of U. L.. Burdick.
the insurgent candidate for governor.
The two are strong personal friends,
and Burdick is reported to be personal
ly opposed to A. T. Kraabel, the pres
ent lieutenant governor. Both Besse-
sen and Kraabel are Scandinavians.
The friends of the present lieutenant
governor are not inclined to AXE kind
ly to the local mans candidacy. They
admit Bessesen is a better speaker and
a campaigner, but they insist the allie
cation that Kraabel is hopelessly out
of the race because. of his antagonism
to the initiative and the referendum is
tnGorrect. They claim that Kraabel
was not so much opposed to the initia-
tive and referendum as he was solicit
tous for the prohibition law and didn't
want to jeopardize 1t. 1t Is reported
that Minot is to furnish another can
didate for lieutenant governor on the
republican ticket. making a lively
three-cornered race.

NEWS FROM RANGE-LAND.

TIT Ranch, Quinion, n. D., March 5.
TO The Forum: The past winter
has surely been ideal in the cattle
country and ranchers breathe a sigh
of relief as the days lengthen and real
ize that the glorious springtime will
soon be with us.
Range conditions were never better,
and both range cattle and horses are
in fine condition. During December
and January water was a little short
for range stuff but everything is run
ming high, wide and handsome now
| and the bone Of winter is gone.
The Stevenson boys at the Ucross
for spring and summer work. therefore
are very busy. .
Scott Gore, who has recently been
appointed deputy sheriff in Mckenzie
county, is very busy these lays look
ing after some cattle rustlers that got
busy over around Alexander.
RuInor has it that there will be a
hot fight between the new town Of
| Fryburg and Medora over the county
seat. The old time rancher is used to
Medora and feels at home when he
goes there, and L presume the new
town VIII be chuck full of homes like
most Of the new towns are, therefore
the ranches will no doubt vote for
Medora. e.
Pete -Northrup, one of our largest
horse growers, has been overhauling
his mess wagon; getting 1t in shape
for the spring roundup.
Here at the Three Seven the boys
have been busy braiding back a mores
to be ready for the spring horse work.
I was looking over the log book in the
clubhouse yesterday and for Febru-
airy, 1912, it reads thusly:
Feb. Good day-rode..
Feb. 2-Stormy-rode.
Feb. 3-Snowed-Hell!
There will be a masquerade at the
Flying V some time soon and the boys
are planning ON tearing up the earth,
when the time comes. 49,.
AS usual there are several bad
horses to be rode out the morning aft
er and boys of the Big Six are going
to ride for the honors against the
Buckle BIS, SO there is no doubt but
there will be a bowling time.

be sure of collecting the taxes now
the officials of Morton county are here
after outside ranchers who have rang
ed cattle on the Indian lands on the
Standing Rock reservation. These
cattle were assessed and the taxes,
while due, are not delinquent, but the
cattlemen have been ordered from the
reservation between now and July /
and the Morton county officials are
making the collection for the state be-
fore the cattle are actually removed
and nothing is left upon which to
make q levy. None of the money will
go to the county as only state taxes
have been levied, there being some
doubt as to the right Of the county to
levy for county purposes on property
entirely on government land. There IS
no legal question as to the right of
Morton county officials, however. en-
