Williston, N. D., Nov. n.-,|osepb
Hafseth, a young man Of about "a
;ears of age, lost his life trying to get
valuable stallion out Of a burning
barn on the Alfred Sven :serd farm.
"a miles northwest Of the city. The
owners were away at the time and
there was no one around but an elder
ly lady and couple OF children. When
the fire was first noticed it was in
stacks near the barn and the lady
at the house noticed Halfseth go into
the barn. When the neighoors came
it was impossibl e to get into tie burn
ing building and it soon caved in. A.
ter the fire Halfseths body was found
between the body of the stallion and
the wall. He had evidently endeav-
ored to get the animal out and proba-
bly, was crushed by the frightened
animal and unable to get out He was
terribly burned, his arms and legs be-
ing burned off.

by the Jury sew days ago. after three
hours deliberations. The other two
were tried Jointly and the jury consid-
cred the case for eight hours before
a verdict was reached.
McGee is the man who actually did
the killing. but Davis stood over the
murderer as he was committing the
crime and refused TO allow anyone to
interfere to stop the commission OF
the crime and directed and encourag-
ed McGee to kill the victim. He Is
a desperate and the long term meted
out to him is considered nothing more
than justice. He is a character who
should not be allowed to run at large.
The court in passing sentence call

officials in ridding the state Of the
class Of criminals who commit such
crimes as that of which the prisoners
have been found guilty. .-s

Press reports indicating that the

many passengers were lost as re-
suit of shots fired by the submarine
after the liner came to a halt, were
read here with great interest. High
officials Of the American government
said that when needing warning that

batants in a place of safety and that

tempted to escape does no5 invalidate

Flew German Flag.
Conuflicting reports concerning the
colors raised by the submarine which
attacked the Ancona attracted con-
siderable attention. One report-that
the subarine flew German fag-is
confirmed, officials said this would be
considered an act of war sufficient to
serve notice that Italy and Germany
were in a state Of war. There never
has been any declaration OF war be-
tween the two countries SO far as the
state department is advised and the
custom in the case of this kind is to
await some overt act as an evidence
of a state Of hostilities. Should it de-
yelop that the submarine was manned
~ a German naval force and flew a
iierman flag, it is considered certain
that the question will be made sub

MAN DIES IN FLAMES IN
ATTEMPT TO SAVE HORSE

Williston, N. D., Nov. 11.-Joseph
Halfseth, young man OF about "a
years of age. lost his life while try
ing to get valuable stallion out of a
burning barn on the Alfred Swend-
serd's farm "a miles northwest of the
city. The owners were away at the
time and there was no one around
but an elderly lady and a couple Of
children. When the fire was first
noticed it was i'll stacks near the barn
and the lady at the house noticed
Halfseth go into the barn. When the
neighbors came it was impossible to
get into the building and it soon caved
in. After the fire Halfseth's body was
found between thegbody of the stall
lion and the wall. He had evidently
endeavored to get the animal out and
probably was crushed by the fright
ened animal and unable to get out,
and arms being burned off. He was
terribly burned about the limbs.
The deceased was single man and
came to this country from Norway
about three years ago. All his rela-
tives are in the old country. An ad-
ministrator, Ed Granig, has been ap-
pointed to settle up his affairs.

Helena, Mont, Nov. 11.-When Louis
W.. Hill, president of the Great North.
ern,- was in Montana last week, lie
gave assurances of the building! of a
5O.mile line from Scobey west to Glen
|'tana. in northern Valley county, and a
visit. he made from Cascade to Adel
has given rise to rumors the Great
Northern intends building branch
there. ilt sittlE2Sf MI
You will ride out Of Glentana on
the Great Northern before you will on
the 500, and that before the SHOWS OF
another year have fallen he told
Glentana people. !
Fifty-Miie Team Haul. t.-.a,.
Thousands Of bushels of grain are
to be hauled to the railroad from Glen
tana Scobey, the terminus Of the
Great Northern's Bainville branch, is
the nearest marketing point, dis
tance of 50 miles. Many farmers who
haul grain to Scobey take back freight
for Glentana and in this way the ex-
pense of the long trip is partly borne
Dy local concerns.
Develops Notwithstanding.
Even with this handicap, the north
ern part of Valley county is making
rapid advancement and thousands Of
acres are being broken for crop next
spring. The statement OF Louis w.
Hill will have the effect Of greatly in
creasing that acreage.
There is no doubt that the fight be-
tween the Great Northern and the 500
will be a merry one, as it was on the
Scobey and Whitehall branches Of
these two roads. The 500 has it's road
into Whitehall, 70 miles east of Glen
tana. and had planned on extending to
Glentana in 1914, but the war and
other unforeseen things prevented.
AIDE! Trip Causes Speculation.
Mr.. Hill and his party made a trip
into the Adel country that has caused
no little speculation. According to
persons who are in position to know
survey has been made from the
town of Cascade to the coal fields
about Adel and the surveyors were in
the employ of the Great Northern. 1t
is reported that line has been found
which will give favorable grade to
the coal fields and those who know
of the trip are now wondering if this
is another bit of Hill strategy in rail-
road building and if, without having
made known his plans, he is getting
ready to construct line into the Adel
country in the spring of 1916.

5rict for the government and large reservations of the hest coal fields in Alaska are to be made by the Inter- ior department.
 After the government has made its reservations the balance of the coal fields will be open to lease under the form of lease which is to de drafted by Secretary of the Interior Frank in K. Lane.
 The form of lease is giving the sec reta,y much trouble. The first drafts made by the attorneys for the government wer submitted to possible leesees who immediately informed the secretary that the form was so strict that no man could afford to invest thousands of dollars in opening tho mines. Since that time dozens of diff ferent drafts of the proposed con tract between the government and the coal operators have been drawn but so far none are satisfactory.
 Several applications have been made for coal lands but all of the ap- plicants insist that the terms of the lease must be such as to justify then in spending the hundreds of thous- rnds of dollars necessary to open and develop the coal claims and also in sure fair profit on the investment. They also wish some restrictions placed upon the competition of the government which aims to enter the commercial markets of the coast or tt least will withdraw tho govern ment $ business from the market and will supply government needs from a government operated mine.

WICISERSHAM RETURNS
 TO REPUBLICAN FOLD

A telegram from Fairbanks says: James Wickersham, the delegate to congress from Alaska, who was elected as Progressive Democrat at the last election, was Bull Mooser the elec- tion previous, an Independent Repub- liean prior to that, and an old guard republican as long as he could hold q political job announced himself as a republican today and says he is with the party again because it has been purged of all bad men.
 The announcement did not come as a surprise to politicians in this sec ton as Wickersham has been looking for chance to jump back into the republican ranks.
 The regular republicans are sure to make fight to keep him and his followers, who enter every political primary in the territory to capture it for him, securing control of the or ganization. It is understood here that Wickersham has no standing in Washington with the republication and that the members of the Pacif ie coast congressional delegations all listrust him and will no longer aid him in his efforts to build up pol itical machine in the north.
 Wickersham is classed as a Demo erat in the last division of congress, and in writing his biography for the congressional directory failed to an nounce himself as member of any party--Cordova Daily Times.

Included in the business houses are six restaurants. billiard hall, two laundries, three barber shops and one jewelry store. Lieutenant Mears immediately on ar rival started to lay the track for work trains, and one mile of them has been placed in position.
