ATTEMPTED TO WRECK TRAIN.

Indian Albert is in Jail. because OF
an attempt TO wreck a Nevada North
ern passenger train, Tuesday after
noon. The redskin had been able to
load up with whiskey. from some
source or other. and decided that a
ride on the iron horse was the next
best sensation. He succeeded in get
ting a seat on the pilot of the loco
motive hauling the suburban train
that left hurry street at 4:25 for
McGill. and stuck to this precarious
perch until the train reached Hiline
junction. where his position was dis
covered by a brakeman. The Indian
was ordered of the plot and told 10
ride elsewhere less dangerous. AL.
bert objected to the change. and as
the train sped down the hill toward
McGill Junction, he was seen to move
away in the desert, muttering terri
BILE threats of vengeance. At least,
that Is the supposition, as on the re-
turn trip from the smelter city, the
engineer of the local had to bring his
train up standing. to escape smash
ing into a lot of ties that had been
piled on the track. The Indian had
attempted a thorough job, as the ties
were encountered for d distance of a
mile and to have run into them might
have resulted disastrously for the
train.
Deputy Sheriff Holmes of MeGill
was notified of the situation and very
shortly had Indian Albert under ar
rest and turned over to the county
authorities. He owned up 10 placing
the ties on the track, but says he was
drunk. As a trouble maker John
~Bafleycorn IS no respeotor of persons
or nationalities. Indian Albert will
undoubtedly have a long time in
which to get sober and will fully
realize that an attempt 10 wreck a
railroad train for any reason, is d
very serious affair

Telephone Extension.
The l%nterurban Telephone COM
pany of which Charles A. Walker OF
Ely is president has completed its
line to Lund, so that the citizens In
that part of the county are now en-
joying the convenience of direct

If present plans m~aterialize the
ranchers of Currant and Duckwater
will eventually be connected with the
Interurban system. 1t is largely
through the efforts of Mr.. Walker
that the telephone service of the
county has been extended to its pre-
sent boundaries, and once installed
1t is safe to predict that ii will quick
ly become as indispensable in the
outlying districts as In that city.

A terrible tragedy was pulled
off in LaMoure the other night,
when Ed. Lawrence, the pool

Hattie Lee, as she lay in bed at
her home. Four or five shots are
reported to have been fired at the
young woman. The second shot
killed her by striking her heart.
Lawrence then fired a shot at his
retreating wife, who escaped
through the rear door, but miss
ing his aim. he turned the gun up
on himself. He pushed the gun
against his temple and fired, and
was successful in blowing out his
eyes. the bullet lodging in the

The tragedy is attributed to
jealousy. 1t is stated that Law

The first meeting was at Barton

AsPlnwALL FOR AUDITOR

w. b. ASplnWall, the Den.Ocfa-
tic candidate for Auditor of this
county, is one of Wahpeton's
most highly respected business
men, and a citizen of the county
for the past thirty years. He is an
active member of the Wahpeton
Commercial Club and of the
County Fair association, and is in
every movement that is calculat-
ed to advance the interests of the
city and county. He is man who
always does his share in trying
to place Richland county among
the very foremost counties in the
state.
His loyalty to his country is at
tested by an honorable service
throughout the Spanish-American
war, and his discharge shows that
he participated in many battles
with distinguished gallantry. His
good habits and thorough busi-
ness training eminently fit him
for the office of county auditor,
and if elected he will honor the
position he seeks. Indeed his
qualifications for the office are
not questioned by any one.
He is not a politician. and this
is the first time in his life that he
has asked for an office. He is not
a poor man, yet he is a long way
from being a rich man. BY indus
try and economy he has earned a
good livelihood for himself and
family. and that is all. The same
industry. good management. and
aconomy that enabled him to
make good for his family will en-
able him to make good for the
county.
Now that we have a man of this
character who is asking for an
office for the first time, why not
elect him? Let's show our appre-
citation of a good citizen and a
gallant soldier for his country by
giving him our vote.
