Judge Decides Deed
Must Be Transferred

Ashley, N. D., Oct. 29.-The laws Of
North Dakota provide that unpaid
personal property taxes shall become
lien upon real property of the de-
linquent taxpayer. Nothing is said as
to the priority of the lien, however.
Under these circumstances it has been
the custom Of many county auditors
to treat the lien as a prior one. 4
The question arose in case here
upon the refusal Of the county audi.
tor to transfer a sheriff's deed, devel.
opin from the foreclosure Of a mort
gage. The mortgage was given in
1909, and personal property taxes of
the mortgagor for the years 1913 and
1914 were due and unpaid. The audi,

mortgage, refused to enter a transfer

Caught With the Goods,
Pleads Guilty Of Arson

| Hatton, Oct. 2S.-George E. Lee,
former barber at Clifford, N. D., ar
rested at Salem, Ore, Monday on
charge of arson in the third degree in
connection with the firing of his bar
Der shop at Clifford, and brought here
this morning by Sheriff Wolfe, States
Attorney Lyche, of Hillsboro, and
State Fire Marshal Runge, pleaded
guilty to the offense when his hearing
came up before Justice of the Peace
Hegge this afternoon, and was bound
over to the district court. bail being
placed at $4,000.
It was through the work Of State
Fire Marshal Runge that Lee was ar
rested. Upon requisition of Governor
Hanna, the Oregon governor delivered
Lee to the North Dakota authorities.
Lee had been serving term in the
Oregon penitentiary for bigamy, and
his term of parole had just expired
when the North Dakota authorities
arrested him. ao ".'
When placed under arrest he de-
clared emphatically that the officers
had the wrong man and said his name
was George Calvin. He declared that
the woman and two children living
at Seattle, who claim that he is hus-
band and father, were telling false.
hood. Fl
After the fire at Clifford in which
the barber shop rented by Lee was
destroyed, and also hardware store
and blacksmith shop, he and his fam
lily left for the west, and for time
made their home at Seattle. He then
went into the state of Oregon and
married the daughter of barber by
whom he was employed.
George Lee, upon whom State Fire
Marshal Runge and the state officials
have a voluminous mass of evidence,
it is declared, will be tried at the dis
trict court of Trail county in Feb
ruary.

Ru1nored Stdwarts VIII Ditch
Frame Linde Their Candidate

Bismarck, Oct. 27.-The stalwarts,
having decided to ditch Frame in favor
of Attorney Linde for the nomination
for governor, has necessitated a new
lineup on the part Of the progressives
of the state. It has just leaked out
that a secret meeting Of the progress
sives had been held at which time a
tentative lineup had been made for
the state officers. The American So
ciety of Equity and the non-partisan
league have absolutely refused to sup
port Usher L. Burdick for the nomina-
ton for governor. Burdick has never
been known to take firm stand on
any subject and his wavering attitude
on the proposition of the terminal ele'
vator, coupled with the fact that he
had made a deal with Governor L. B.
Hanna, whereby Hanna is to support
him for governor and he in turn will
support Hanna for the nomination for
United States senate, has resulted in
the Society of Equity and the Non
partisan League absolutely refusing to
support Burdick. P. o. Thorsen, OF
Grand Forks, editor of the Normanden,
or F. E. Packard, tax commissioner,
will be the candidate for governor.
Speaker Hanson, who served so ably
in the house, is the choice of this or.
ganization for Acknowledgements.
Tom Hall was wabbled so in his at
titude between the stalwarts and pro-
sressives, first supporting Hanna and
now opposing him, until the real pro-
gressives of the state have become
thoroughly disguised with Hall. J. L.
Hort. Of Reeder, member OF the
house of the 1915 session, will run
for secretary of state. He Will have

Meeting Of
New Church Committee

Friday evening there was an i'm
portant meeting of the general finan-
cial committee having in charge the
raising of funds for the building of
the new Congregational church. The
church is rapidly nearing completion.
The dedication is already set for Dec.
5 and there seems to be every POSSIBLE
ity of keeping this date. A year ago
last September the committee made a
weeks campaign and secured 100000.
Ten thousand dollars is needed for the
final payments of bills. The custom
airy way has been for the church to
raise this final sum on the day of
dedication. All along the building
committee have felt that this should be
avoided and hence the meeting Friday
evening. In the next ten days this
committee plan to visit various ones
who have not yet contributed. There
is no reason why the money cannot be
raised before the dedication day. With
the generous support of the friends of
the church this can be done. The
gymnasium and recreation features in
connection with this church makes it
possible to have a wider appeal for
funds. AS far as it may be done the
building committee want the new Con-
gregational church to serve the larger
interests of the community. All Of
the recreational advantages may be
secured by any person upon the pay.

AT THE THEATRES
PALACE.

When the ITALIA Film company of
Turin, Italy, was casting Gabrele
d 'Annunzio's scenario masterpiece,
"Cabiria," it was baked for some time
in filling the character Of Maciste, a
Numidian slave. According to the
scenario, Maciste was to be man of
unusual size and strength, and when
no one could be found who suited
d'Annun2io, the directors tried to per
vail on him to be content with a
smaller man, but they were unsuccess-
full. D'Annunzio insisted upon a Go
Hath.
A short time later d'Annunzio, while
strolling through the shipping dis
tricts, was attracted by a crowd of
people who were evidently very much
interested in the unloading Of a ship.
Approaching, he saw the object of
their interest. A huge man, veritably
small giant was casting hOgsheads
about as though they were mere paw
ing blocks. one look was sufficient to
convince him that here was the object
OF the search-a man with the quail
ficatiOns for the part of Maciste.
