A distinguished prisoner in Hungary is
a Russian general, Eugene Mastinof.
General Mastinon still looks quite defiant,
although he has grown a shade more
modest since he was taken prisoner.
When brought into the prison camp. he
asked through an Interpreter, for the COM
mander. Colonel Alfred Won Obauer COM
piled with the request, and, with the
courtesy characteristic of officers, pre-
sented himself to the Russian general
The Gagged Russian lion was tactIess
enough to remain seated. Colonel Obauer
then commanded. in a firm but quiet
tone: Attention. whereupon the gem
eral found 1t advisable to show, by rising
stifly to his height that he took the les
son in military discipline.

with their well-cared-for compilations,
Russian officers, with effeminate features
and red-faced, weather-beaten Servian
officers. Beside faxen- haired Cossacks
there are four fellows with coal black
heads-negroes from the coal mines of
Cardiff, who were seized on British mer-
chant ships. Servian gypsies from Sha-
bats complete the picture. In the centre
of the circle there is Il grindstone, on

An instance of how anxious Irish SOL
diers are to go to the front was wit
messed recently at Chelsea Barracks,
where the Irish Guards were quartered.
Late one evening some one spread the
rumor that the Irish Guards were to be
transferred to one of the army depots.
That evening was one of the widest
known at Chelsea Barracks Then came
the announcement that the rumor was
true.
Immediately the Irish Guards set up
the cry, I'VE want tc go to the front.
Our place is in France. We won't go to
any depots' For more than an hour
the yelling kept up. Then the officer
made speeches telling the men to be
patient that they soon would be off for
the scene of fighting. Even after these
promises a force of mounted police was
established about the barracks To insure
peace and quiet

DISCUSS DICKINSON
FEDERAL BUILDING

Dickinson. N. D., Dec. 22.-About
40 club members and invited citizens
gathered for a $3.50 o'clock banquet
at the Willard hotel. The meal was
served in five courses and was much

chambers for Dickinson was not pres
ent. 1t is believed, however, that a
bill has been introduced in congress
authorizing terms of United States

Superintendent P. s. Berg made a
very interesting address regarding the
normal school for Dickinson. He
showed plainly the needs for such a
school in the southwestern part O:
the state to enable our teachers to
better prepare themselves for the
great work which awaits them on
every hand. However Superintendent
Berg assured his hearers that it would
require a great deal of hard work to
get the school. To better plan for
this task, it was proposed t.? hold a
banquet the last of the m6Ath and
have our local representatives and
neighbor!ng representatives meet with
the business men. The secretary will
confer with Senator Mcbride. Repre-
sentatives Turner. Blanchard and
Wanner and arrange and announce

JAMESTOWN MINISTER
SEEKS JUSTICE" WITH
NILE LONG PETITION

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 22.-An
unique document was fled for
reference in the office of State
Auditor Carl JorgensOn by Rev.
Frank H. Hews Of jamestown.
1t appears from . perusal of
the paper that the Aforesaid Hews
Is OF the opinion that he Is dwell.
ing In community infested with
a bunch Of crooks, and this In.
Cludes not only jamestown and
Stutsnlan county but also the en-.
tire state Of North Dakota.
He thinks that his feelings have
been hurt, his property damaged
and his business ruined to the ex.
tent Of about 100000 and he
makes that demand on the state.
The petition is presented in one
long string Of tyl,cwrittcn pages
pasted together until 1t makes
al appeal about six feet long.
Only capital letters are used in
the writing and 1t Is signed and
acknowledged before notary

DEATH OF CHILD
CAUSES CHARGE
Richardton Man is Alleged
to Have Abused His
Wife.

Dickinson, N. D.. Dec. 22.-The peo-
pie Of this locality were astonished to
find that Michael Keller, the Richard
ton hotel keeper, was in jail on a
charge Of manslaughter in the first
degree. Those acquainted with the
family. however, aver that for the
past ten or fifteen years Keller has
been abusing his wife, and during
their residence in Taylor, where they
also conducted hotel until last sum-
mer. it became necessary for the wife
to seek the aid OF the authorities in
making Keller behave himself. Each
time he begged off and the cases new
er reached the courts.
It is stated OF good authority that
Keller was beating and choking his
wife. He was arrested and taken to
Dickinson and lodged in Jail.
From States Attorney J. p. Gains
Office it was learned that Keller is
charged with beating and kicking his
wife early in October and that as a
result Of this abuse Mrs. Keller gave
birth to child which only lived a
Of this kind is punishable by sent
ence OF five to fifteen years in the
penitentiary. Hence 1t looks pretty
bad for Keller.
At the time Keller committed the
offense OF kicking his wife in the alb
domen on October 8. she was afraid
to complain of his abuse.
In justice court. before A. p. Fol-
som, Keller waived examination and
his case was sent on up to the dis
trict court. the bail which defendant
1g unable to get, being fixed at $1,000
1t was understood that Keller was
going to plead guilty but when he
reached Judge Crawfords court he
had changed his mind. A short stay
Of proceedings was granted to give
Casey & Burgeson, attorneys for de-
fendant. an opportunity to look into
the case a little more. These gentle
men were not prepared to say much
about the matter. They realize that
q most serious charge hangs over the
head Of their client and II supported
by true facts as charged. there is not
very must to be done. However. the
Dickinson attorneys will attempt to
ascertain the real facts at once. If
the case comes up right away. as now
seems 1robable. special jury will be
called.
Application may be made to judge
Crawford to reduce Keller's bond.
However, it is not likely that bail
would be reduced enough to enable
Keller to get bondsmen.

DOUBLE ELECTION
CONTEST STARTED
Action in Beaver and Grant
Counties Comes as a
Surprise.

Mandan, N. D., Dec. 22.-Contest
notices Of both Beaver and Grant
counties were served on County Com
lison, Theodore Feland, ]. P. Lang
and Simon Nagle. The action OF
Beaver county supporters came very
unexpectedly. Both petitions SET
forth similar claims but the allega-
tions in the Grant county petition are
more definite. The papers were serv-
ed at different times during the day,
which was the last day limited by law.
The election which is being questioned
was held on November and the can
vassing board met on the 18th and
18th Of the same month.
Proposed Beaver county makes
large claims and assumes that 467 H.
legal votes were cast on the PROPOSE
against and 1879 for. while the con-
tention Of the plaintiff. f. f. Ler-
schen. is that the Beaver division
proposition carried by 1913 votes.
Definite irregularities are cited in pre-
cincts In the eastern and central por-
ton Of Morton county where the vot-
ers opposed division almost solidly.
Massingham precinct, according to the
allegation, voted SO from Oliver coun-
ty, the three wards in Mandan con-
tributed to the illegalities, and all the
local territory figured in the illegal
election.
Miller & Zuger of Bismarck are
representing the plaintiff In the ac-
tion. Attorney Zuger was in the city
yesterday and saw that the papers
were served.
F. G. Boettcher of Elgin is the
plaintiff in the action in behalf Of
proposed Grant county and Hanley &
Sullivan of this city are acting as
counsel for him. Grant county was
defeated by only 13 votes at the No
vember election. The vote was L.
954 for and 1867 against.
The principal demand Is a recount
Of the vote though practically every
possible election irregularity is cited.
including the claim that the election
officer did not qualify as required by
law: that ballots other than the reg
ular ones were used: that voting was
not held in the places as had been ad-
vertised: that the voting booths were
not erected according to law: that
electioneering was permitted contrary
to law; and various other reasons are
advanced.
Attorney Hanley stated yesterday
that the commissioners will soon file
their answer and that the matter
would take the form of any other le-
gal action in the courts and that the
contest would probably be given at
tention at once and disposition would
be made Of the matter during the
winter.
