Thief River Falls, May 26.-Joe and
Fred Lacount of this city and man

had the receipts of the sale of farm

The LacOunts are accused of having
done the actual killing while the man
Proveau is accused of having been a
witness to the crime and to have shar-
ed in an equal division of the spells
for keeping the matter secret.
He is alleged to have told the whole
thing, while intoxicated, to relative

arrested at his home and taken to
Crookston where he is said to have

TRAMP PROVES TO &c HERO
SAVES LIVES OF TWO AND MAY
GET CARNEGIE MEDAL.
Effects Rescue Of Two Drowning Men
at Trip, s. D., by Riskng His
Own Life.

Sioux Falls, S. d., May 26.--John
Heft, a tramp, by the rescue of two
Trip men, who were in danger Of
drowning, proved himself hero and
qualified himself for Carnegie hero
medal. Philip Enresman, city en-
ploye, went into a reservoir connected
with the waterworks system for the
purpose of clearing it. The fumes
from the antiseptic materials in use
proved too much for him. He was
completely overcome and fell back in
to the water, unable to help himself.
Edward Johnson went to his rescue.
Enresman was SO far gone that he
secured a death grip on his would-be
rescuer and in a short time Johnson
also was overcome by the antiseptic
fumes. During the struggle quite a
number of men had gathered about,
among them being the tramp. Heft
lost no time in plunging to the rescue
of the two men. He had the fore
sight to provide himself with a rope,
and by hard work he succeeded in
keeping the heads of the two men
above the surface of the water until
he could attach the rore to them.
Throwing the other end of the rope to
those on the edge of the reservoir,
they dragged the two men to safety.
TIL rope then was thrown to the
tramp hero. who himself was drawn
from the reservoir just in time to save
his life, as he was partially overcome
by the fumes when drawn to safety
Residents who We're eye-witnesses of
his heroic action in saving the lives
of the two men will have the case call

VARDAMAN DECLARES PARTY %.
SHOULD STAND BY PLATFORM

Senator James X. Vardaman, OF Mis-
sissippi, announced yesterday he would
not follow the President on the Panama
Canal question.
II agree with Mr.. Bryan" said Mr..
Vardaman, that q man who would win
Office on a platform and then violate II
after getting into Office is an embezzler
Of power. and guilty of a crime of as
great moral turpitude as a soldier who
would betray his country in time Of war.
I was a member OF the platform COM
mittee of the Baltimore convention. This
canal toll question was considered care
fully. along with the other planks in the
platform. After the convention the Pres
ident discussed it and approved 1t. Mr.
Bryan approved II. The American peo-
pie approved II, and now to ask Demo-
Gratis elected on that platform TO betray
their constituents and violate instructions
given by them in their votes at the Bal
timore convention is asking a little more
than my sense Of right and loyalty to
my constituents will permit me to do.
1T is most unfortunate this great prob
lem cannot be discussed without imput-
ing improper motives to the men who
made 1t possible for the Democratic party
TO win and Woodrow Wilson to be elect
ed President of tire United States
II have given this subject this serious

Merits of the Case.
But the important questions are before
Congress no matter in what form pre-
sented, and their real merits are clearly
and correctly presented by Mr.. Niles.
His paper is only an expression of the
real meaning OF the unmistakable words
of our treaty with England:
The canal shall be free and open to
the vessels of commerce and of war Of
all nations observing these rules. on
terms Of entire equality, SO that there
shall be no discrimination against any
such nation, or its citizens or subjects,
in respect of the conditions or charges OF
traffic or otherwise. Such conditions and
charges OF traffic shall be just and
equitable
1T is no discredit to any American to
desire to have our republic take great
pains to be on the most friendly relations
with our mother country. The two most
powerful nations on the globe, with their
people speaking the same language, can
control the world for peace and righteous
ness. United we stand, divided We fall.
The national honor in an international
treaty really with all nations Is more
binding than a plank hastily and un-
wisely inserted in one political platform"

should not change them even If Mr.. Jus

that President Wilson decided to submit
his request to Congress to repeal the
canal tolls exemption without asserting
that in his opinion the exemption would
be in fragrant violation of a treaty de-
lberately made as the conclusion of an
alliance with England which. after
seventy years, is giving us an Isthmian
canal around our Southern border.

does not accept this, his view, he will be
