THE MINNEAPOLIS ELECTION

The result of the local option ell
ection in Minneapolis, in which the
"wets'' scored a decisive victory, is
followed by allegations of fraud and
illegal voting by the winning side.
This is the usual aftermath of Bit
ter fight, and will have no effect up
on the official returns
It was lively contest up to the
day of election, the prohibition for
ces using their best endeavors to
place Minneapolis in the "dry" col
umn, and the "wets" putting up the
strongest defense they could offer.
The voters went to the polls to the
number of about $4,000, and in
round numbers $4,000 of them fav-
ored existing conditions, while 49,
900 cast their ballots in favor of
closing the salons
Any claim to the contrary not
withstandinng, the result of the
Minneapolis election was an un-
pleasant surprise to the prohibition
forces. It has been demonstrated
in similar contests that the prohi-
bition sentiment is stronger in the
country districts than in the large
towns and cities, but there were
local conditions that encouraged the
belief that the citizens of Mineapo-
lis shared in the prohibition senti-
ment that predominates in the dis
tricts tributary to that city. This
expectation, however, was discredit-
ed by the result of the election

PIONEERS WILL FORM
GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY.

/. 10 organize Montana geograph-
&c society which shall lend it's influ-
ence In the systematic naming Of
montana mountains, streams, pass
3es ana other geographic features,
pioneers and other representatives
OF interested citizens of the state,
have oeen asked to meet at the Uni
yerslty OF Montana at Missoula, Oct.
goth.
1t Is intended that the proposed
organization shall give publicity to
the duplication of many geographic
names In Montana, with the recent
changes which have been attempted
in, nomenclature, and to the facts
that many of the old names have
been replaced and that there are
some places which are now bearing
more than one name. It is for such
corrections that geographic So
ciety is to be organized.
A Similar movement is being TAX
en- up in other states. At the re-
quest of the United States geologi-
cal survey, Governor Samuel V.
Stewart has placed the responsible
ty for this organization with the
state university Governor Stewart
is in hearty accord with the plan.
The directors of the United States
geological survey gives such an or
ganization his Endorsement and the
names recommended by the new So
ciety will be used in it's official re-
ports. 1t is not too late to preserve
many of the appropriate names be-
slowed by the Indians upon Mon
tana geographical points.

CHARLIE MARTIN IS SHOT.

Charlie Martin, of the firm of Mar
tin Bros, we'll known sheepmen of
northern Dawson county, was shot
possibly fatally, about 10 o'clock
Friday morning by Jack Norville, q
stockman whose range is contigu-
GUS to that of the Martin Bros, in
the Big Dry country, sixty miles
south of this city.
Word of the encounter was
brought to Lismas, by courier, and
s. H. Miley, mail carrier, proceeded
toward the scene of the shooting
with his automobile. He brought
the wounded man to this city.
At the Deaconess hospital DR..
Smith found Martin had received
one serious gunshot in the arm and
another in the leg.
The ARRAY developed when Nor
vile is said to have sent for Martin
to come and take his stock out of
Norville's range.
Martin is reported to have armed
himself before starting. Upon reach
ing the Norville premises the men
quarreled. Norville wrested the gun
from Martin when the latter is de-
clared to have attempted its use up
on the former.
Norville is said then to have sent
messenger to his residence with in
structions to bring his forty-four.
Upon arrival of the weapon he be-
gan shooting at Martin, killing the
horse which the latter was riding
and inf1icting the wounds mentioned

Grain and Produce,
az Ioaenh E. Prltehard.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-Charles E.
Lewis, the well known grain man OF
Minneapolis, says that the present
promise for a spring wheat crop IS
the best since 1912, when the record
crop was harvested. He states that
black rust has caused little loss, as
climatic conditions have held the de-
terioration IN check.
It is generally believed that the
plant has too strong a growth and is
coming forward too rapidly TO be dam
aged by rust. The late wheat is not
wholly out Of the woods. but the gen
eral promise is for record crop.
B. W. Snow, the crop expert says
that the August indication Will be
for a crop around 3O0.000.00O bushels
in the three northwestern states.
