Henstom VIII Oppose
Burke for the Senate

Grand Forks, Sept. 20.-Notwith-
standing the fact that for six years
he held the best appointment at the
disposal of the governor, Frank O..
Hellstrom, former warden of the state
penitentiary and twice democratic
nominee for governor, has declared
himself against Hon. John Burke.
present United States treasurer, who
is looked upon as the most likely can
didate for United States senate against
the choice of the republicans.
In the face of the fact Burke ap-
pointed Hellstrom to the fat job as
warden for three terms, and in face
of the fact that he stumped the state
for Hellstrom in his campaign for
governor, delivering an grafton on the
honor system and the ability of He'll
strom as a warden-Frank o. He'll
strom has announced that if Burke
is candidate for the senate, that he
will shy his castor into the ring.
What has caused the attitude OF
Hellstrom has not been ascertained
Democrats high in the party ranks
are willing to dismiss the whole affair
believing that opposition by He'll
strom can in no case do more than
boost Burke's stock.

Escapes Serious Injury
When Car Ran Amuck

Minot, Sept. 20.-A party consisting
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A. Murray, Mrs.

an automobile accident while driving

jured. r
The party was out on hunting trip
and were driving over level piece
of road when some of the underneath
steering gear struck a stone and bent
some of the rods so that the driver
was unable to control the machine. Be-
fore it could be stopped the machine
had left the grade and plunged into a
wheat field. The car skewed and
turned turtle, throwing the occupants
out, but fortunately beyond the car.
1t was thought Miss Hanson had
suffered broken collar bone, but this
is not certain. She was injured about
the chest, but not seriously. Mr..
Moore was also somewhat bruised but
he is suffering nothing more serious
than some sore spots about the shoul-
ders. The others were not injured.

Olaf Tore Up the Town

Fargo, Sept. 20.-One of the most in.
teresting characters taken by the po-
lice for a considerable time, was ar
rested yesterday when Officer Picker
ing landed Olaf Hoveland. Olaf stout
ly maintained that he was just plain
drunk, but from his actions the po.
lice inferred that he was demented
and he is now being held on that
charge in the county Jail.
Besides causing the police no little
trouble in tracing and landing him,
Hoveland created a genuine reign Of
terror in the cells at the police station
yesterday, last night and this morning
and the officers at the station breath
ed a sigh of relief when this morning
he was loaded in the new patrol auto
and taken to the county jail.

Peterson's 5 Automobile
Was Hit By Train

Nome Tribune: Eastedge was the
scene of a bad spill Thursday at noon
when the west bound passenger train
hit P. H. Peterson's automobile. The
accident happened on the crossing
just east of the town, where the road
crosses the track in cut. Mr.. Peter
son was driving the car and was &C.
companied by o. P. Brendemoen. The
engine struck the rear end of the car
and turned it completely around so /,
faced the track. Both occupants were
thrown out and received number of
bad bruises and cuts about their bod
les; but they are thankful that their
injuries are not worse. They were
taken along on the train to Kathryn
where their wounds were bandaged,
returning on the afternoon train. The
auto will not be able to be around
again for some time. .ss -..

Dies From Wounds
Inflicted Last Week
by Brother r-in-Law

Fargo, Sept. 21.-Four days after he
was shot in the back with shotgun
in the hands of William Brendemuhl,
his brother-in-law, Ole Norby, of
Kragnes township, Clay county, sue
cumbed to his wounds at 9 o'clock last
evening at st. Johns hospital. His
wife was present at the bedside.
William H. Brendemuhl, who sur.
rendered to Sheriff Dan Mcdonald of
Clay county, after the shooting on the
Brendemuhl farm, two miles north of
Kragnes and claimed self defense, is
ont on bonds charged with assault in
the first degree, which will likely be
changed to read murder in the first
degree. He is one Of Clay county's
wealthiest farmers. gS
The shooting occurred last Thurs
day evening about I o'clock. Brende-
muhl and his brother, Fred, according
to officials, were returning to their
farm home after completing their
work for the day, and were on the
road between the two farms. Norby,
it is said, had forbidden the use of
the road and seeing the men on it,
rushed at them flashing a revolver.
Words over the threshing account and
other matters followed. Norby point
ed the gun at Fred Brendemuhl. Will
liam Brendemuhl then fred the shot

Norby fell to the ground. His back
was perforated by the shot that
pierced his lungs, kidneys and other
organs. The brothers took him to his
home. He was removed to the hos
pital the next morning. s
William Brendemuhl was arraigned
before Judge Wade Friday afternoon.
He was bound over to the district

State Has No Money
for September & Salaries I

Minot, Sept. 20. State Treasurer
John Steen was in Minot over Sunday
on his way home to Bismarck on his
return from Rugby, where he had
been looking after private interests
for few days. Asked as to the pos
sibility Of the state not being able to
meet its payroll at the end of the
month, he said:
1T is a fact that the general fund
is depleted. AS a matter of fact, in
stead Of having a small balance, there
is absolutely nothing in the general
fund with which to meet the current
expense of the state. The state audi
tor has issued warrants against the
general fund, which, if paid would
overdraw it. I have and will continue
to refuse absolutely to pay any war
rant on any fund in which there is
not sufficient money to meet it.
AS a matter of fact, there are war
rants enough out now to absorb all
the money in the general fund for
this month. There will not be, unless
an unusual amount of money comes in,
a single dollar with which to meet the
payroll of the state on October l. So
far as can see, the ghost will not
walk next month either for state Of
ficials, state employees or state insti-
tutions." f.

kina Ferdinand Neutral

Sofia. Bulgaria, Sept. 20. Leaders Of
the opposition have obtained from
King Ferdinand assurances that Bull
garia is absolutely free from any obli-
cation to either Of the belligerent
groups and that the fullest attention
is being given by Bulgaria to the pro.
posals Of the entente and central pow
ers alike. This in addition to being
the wish Of the opposition, also is the
desire Of the general public.
!. The opposition leaders were assured
that the government had absolutely no
intention to rupture the pourparlers,
which are still going on with both
groups Of belligerents. At propi-
tious moment, it was added, q ma
tional coalition cabinet would be
formed.

AS it's leading editorial for Monday

Munitions Question

Of the Big War Loan

New York, Sept 2O.-Munitions Of
war will not be allowed to block the
proposed big credit loan to Great
Britain and France, nor will the $780,
100000 or 100000 to be secured
be locked at once in a New York
treasure chest, according to a con-
census of opinion today of those in
close touch with negotiations fol-

"The big thing is to stabilize the
exchange; then the matter Of paying
for munitions automatically takes care

today. w

Fine Lecture
Course Series
Is Arranged

The annual meeting of the lecture
association was held Monday evening
at the Office of the North Dakota Nut
ual Fire Insurance company in the
Gray block.
The report submitted by the treasur-,
er showed a deficit as result of the
patronage to the course of last season.
This was due partly to the financial
strain and partly to the strong compe-
tition in other directions. It is, how
ever, expected this will be more than
made right during the coming season.
An especially fine course has been
secured and every arrangement is be-
ing made to have everything in read
mess for the grand opening on Oct. 8.
Upon this occasion the people of Val
ley City will have the privilege for the
first time of hearing the International
Operatic Co. Too much cannot be
said of this splendid musical organiaz-
'tion and their delightful program.
The mere mention of their coming
should fill the house.
Among the other attractions to fol-
low will be found Chas A. Payne, of
Wisconsin, known throughout tho
world as "the world traveller with a
genius for friendship" Russell H.
Conwell, who so pleased and delighted
a Valley City audience a number OF
years ago with his "Acre of Dia-
monds"; Jeanette King, one of Amer
ica's most brilliant and interesting
readers; Lincoln Writ, who describes
his famous travels to the delight of all
who hear him; the Robley Male Quar-
tet, with their exquisitely harmonious
i productions; Montaville Flowers,
whom we all know and love so well,
in his famous Original Lectures and
Life Problems, and Wallace Bruce
Amsbury, the Bearer of Story
Taken as whole the program for
this year will be exceptionally strong.
The sale of tickets will be started
very soon and it is hoped our citizens
will show their appreciation of the ef-
forts of this association to give SO
much excellent entertainment and in
struction for so little money.
The price Of tickets will be as in
the past with the exception of the
student tickets. These will be made
conditional as to price. If enough can
be sold the price for the entire course
: will be put at 81, this to include stu
dents of the Normal and the schools
of Valley City. One dollar for eight
entertainments ought surely to be
cheap enough for anyone and the at
tendance of students should be large.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, d.
w. Clark; secretary, w. M. Wemett;
! treasurer, F. w. Heidel.

Corn King K Not
Discouraged

Mayville, N. D., Sept. 20.-Despite
the fact North Dakota's corn crop
generally speaking, was ruined by the
frost, L. S. Thorpe, of Mayville, recog.
nized as North Dakota's corn king,
is not in the least dismayed or dis.
couraged. Mr.. Thorpe is just COM
pleting two weeks scouting trip"
through the state, on which he has
swung through the south and south
eastern section, the central and
northern section, entering Ward coun-
ty, in quest for first hand information
on the situation.
The fact that not one farmer out
of hundred will be able to harvest
seed corn from his own field does not
change Mr.. Thorpe's opinion that
year in and year out corn can be
raised successfully in North Dakota,
and that only the fact that tho sum.
mer Of 1915 was a freak in every par
ticular. is responsible for the bumper
wheat crop which is now being thresh-
ed. Mr.. Thorpe calls attention to the
fact that conditions were not normal
during the past summer; that II they
had been the wheat crop would not
have been fit to cut. The great lack
of moisture was counteracted by the
coldest summer on record, with both
June and August frosts.
For years L. s. Thorpe, on his little
farm at Mayville, has been raising
quality corn. If acreage were con-
sidered, Thorpe would not rank high
in the corn business. His whole ef-
fort has been directed at breeding
up" the famous Minnesota No. 13,
until for several years the corn from
his fields has won statewide honors
It has been noticeable fact that
Thorpe's corn filed to the very tip
in manner found nowhere else.
Mr. Thorpe believes that he will
harvest, a considerable quantity of
seed, portions Of his fields having es-
capped. This will protect the famous
Minnesota No. 13 which he is pro-
pagating. He is also doing every
thing, possible to find q supply Of de-
sirable seed corn. fitted for North
Dakota, for the hundreds that will de-
mand It next spring. That corn is
already being imported, from no one
knows where, to be sold at fancy

JUMPED OFF TRAIN; INJURED

- . u y
Rugby, N. D., Sept. 20. A young
man 16 years OF age made too hasty
an exit from No. 4 as the train pass
ed the first switch stand in the east
end Of the yards and as q result he
went headlong, striking the ground
with such force that his nose was
broken and he was rendered uncon-
scious and did not fully recover until
12 hours later. Night Gnicer O'Brien
called a doctor who removed the boy
to the hospital where he was given
the best Of attention. His name was
Dean Mastin and he stated that his
home was at Mines, MINI. An older
brother who was with him intimated
that Dean was forced from the train
while it was still travelling at 9 high
rate Of speed.

Present Battle Is Of
Very Great Moment

London, Sept. 20.-Of the many big
battles fought on the eastern front
during the past few months, few if
any. have been fraught with such i'm
portance for the opposing armies as
that now in progress to the east and
south of Wilma, where the German
Field Marshal, Won Hindenberg, is at
tempting to cut off the retreat and
destroy the Russian army which de-
Tended that city.
The German official report issued
today throws little light on the prog
ress of the operation, simply stating
''the attack against the enemy re-
treating from Wilma is proceeding"
Petrograd continues to express con-
idence in the ability of the Russians
to extricate themselves from the net
thrown around them but in the opin-
ion of military writer's they are in
dangerous position.
Although presumably Germany has
her hands full in driving the Rus
SLAMS back, she has found men and
guns to go to her allies assistance
against Serbia, and the German off,
cial communication announces that
German guns have taken up the fight
against the Serbian artillery across
the Danube and claims to have
silenced it.
The bombardment with heavy guns
has become mutual in the west, both
sides maintaining almost continuous
fire while the British feet is making
matters lively for the Germans on the
Belgium coast. There are no signs as
yet Of general offensive, however,
and another winter in the trenches
may be looked for as assured.
Announcement was made tonight
that the British steamer Horden Of
1,434 tons, had been sunk. The crew
was landed.
Various reported activities in the
Balkans have aroused interest on the
Bulgarian situation and the efforts of
the opposition party to induce the
king and government to depart from
the task Of neutrality and join the
triple entente powers. It is believed,
however, that the fat denial that the
railway agreement with Turkey lines
is to maintain a benevolent neutrality
toward Turkey and the Germanic
powers will be made.

invitations to all potters in the
United States to have their repre-
sentatives visiting the exposition to
call at the North Dakota building and
inspect the display of pottery there.
The exhibit has been attracting a
great deal of very favorable attention,
but it is the desire of the commission
that capital be Influenced to the state
for the purpose of developing the
great industry.
Rev. Gerraghty of Jamestown, N.
D., was a prominent visitor at the
North Dakota building last week. He
was just starting for home, and said
that after he had seen the whole
coast North Dakota looked better 10
him than ever, and he hoped that
more of our people could see the
coast, for they would be satisfied to
remain at home the rest of their nat
ural life.
The register in the North Dakota
building at the San Francisco expo
sition tells some good things. Many
former North Dakotans are register
ing every day, but it remains for one
man, who used to live in the state to
place after his name the following
II once lived in North Dakota, and re-
joice in the memory" Another visit
or, who resides now in North Dakota,
had the following to place after his
name:-"I once saw California, north
and south, and am glad to get back to
North Dakota to meet a summer sea-
son."
Judge Wallin, one of the first three
judges of the North Dakota supreme
court, called at the North Dakota
building at the exposition the other
day. He now resides in Chicago and
at the age of 70 is enjoying good
health. He served on the supreme
bench for 10 years, and greatly enjoys
recounting some of the historical
events of those early days.
Hon. Thos. Marshall and wife OF
Cakes, N. D., were, callers at the
North Dakota building the other day
and were greatly surprised and pleas
ed at the showing the state is making
at the greatest Of expositions. They
have been on the coast for several
months, and left San Francisco via
auto route for Portland, Ore, where
they will visit for a shors time before
returning to the best state in the
