the news and then-on top of the news

Frank. Atlanta newspaper men
stated to Reporter Mcdonald that Ar
thur Brisbane, chief editorial writer
for Hearst, went to Atlanta and tried
to get editorials favoTing Frank into
the paper, but couldn't. Brisbane
took sick, was close to death, was
carried on a stretcher from hospital
to train when he left Aalanta.
Foster Coates, managing editor of
the Georgian, dropped dead on the
street one day when it began to look
as though Frank would hang. At
that time, newspaper men say,
Coates personally urged Hearst to let
the paper call for a new trial for
Frank. Hearst refused. Coates went
ahead and printed one editorial ask
ing a new trial and saying to hang
Frank would be legal murder" That
was the only friendly word for Frank
that ever crept into Hearst's paper.
Hearst stormed about it. Coates
dropped dead on the street from
heart trouble.
During the Frank affair Atlanta got
acquainted with the modern news
paper extra. Extras were shot out
from the Hearst pressrooms morning,
afternoon and night. On the day of
the Frank sentence to death IA ex-
tras were issued. Reporter McDOn-
aid says it was like feeding gasoline
to a fire"
Tom Watson's magazine came
along and argued that Frank was
guilty and ought to hang. 1t was the
argument of a prosecuting attorney,
however, and did not have the effect

COMMISSIONERS
SERVED WITH WRIT
CITED TO SHOW CAUSE BEFORE
JUDGE LEIGHTON AUG. 81,
WHY LEVY FOR BETTER FARM.
ING SHOULD NOT BE MADE.

A writ Of mandamus was served this
morning on the board of county COM
missioners, consisting Of B. j. Ander-
son, John Hennessy, Olof Lokensgard,
Peter Vandenoever and J. M. Robe, to
show cause before Judge Leighton, in
chambers, at 10 o'clock, Aug. 81, 1915,
why levy Of one-half mill on all tax
able property Of Ward county should
not be made for the purpose OF pro-
noting diversified farming and agri-
cultural development thru the employ
ment Of a person or persons to carry
on scientific agricultural work with
in said county.
The plaintiffs in the action are Will
liam Westlake, Daniel Nash, C. 0.
Bonn, J. B. Rasmussen, G. E. Water
man, J. r. Burkhart, John Kassens, A.
F. Thomas, Frank Linha, c. F. Weed,
J. r. Pence, R. w. Beighle, N. d. We'll
ty, Andrew T. Hegreberg, E. B. Biv-
ms and Charles Taylor.
They claim that on June 8, 1913,
Grant Westlake and Ills other tax
payers Of Ward county filed petition
with the board for the above named
purpose, constituting more than rs per
cent of the tax payers Of the county
at that time, to make an appropriation
and levy tax of one-haf mill on all
taxable property in and for the year
1913 and annually thereafter. The
question naturally resolves itself to a
point Of law, which must be threshed
out by Judge Leighton. The commits
sioners who voted against the propo-
sition, Messrs. Anderson, Hennessy
and Lokensgard, claim that they con-
sidered the petition effective for one
year only necessarily, and that unless
q petition containing at least rs per
cent of the tax payers be presented
each year, they are not compelled to
make the levy.
Those who are not in favor Of max
ing the levy declare that if the com:
missioners are ordered to make said
levy, they will start proceedings at
once restraining them from doing so.

CITY GRANTS
GAS FRANCHISE
ORDINANCE PASSED SECOND
READING MONDAY NIGHT -
PROPOSE TO PUT IN A $3.50, 900
PLANT.

A gas franchise was granted to Hal
vor l.. Halvorson, r. E. Barron and S.
J. LaDue by the city commission Mon
day night, the franchise being placed
on it's second reading. After its third
publication in the official city paper, it
will become effective.
There was no opposition to the fran
chise manifested at the meeting that
night. Com. Householder suggested
that the city might make provision
so that the plant could become mu-
nicipal affair at some future time. Mr..
Halvorson explained that this would
not be fair to the concern, that after
financing the affair during the lean
years, it would not be proper to take
it over after it had once been placed
on a paying basis. He explained fur
ther that at any time the city consid-
cred the rates too high, relief might be
secured from the railway commission.
The price for gas is to be $1.7O per
thousand feet and after consumption
Of ten million feet, the price is to be
reduced to $1.65.
The applicants are required to put
up a bond of $1,000 to insure their
good faith. 1t is understood that a
company will soon be formed and that
local capital will be given an opportun-
ity to invest. Considerable. foreign
capital will finance the proposition and
it is expected that the mains will be
laid next year. The concern proposes
to eventually expend $250,000 on the
plant and state that they will give the
city one Of the most up-to-date plants
in the west.
The rate is said to be about the
same as that charged in Fargo and
Grand Forks, but higher than in the
larger cities. 1t is explained that the
rate is not excessive, considering the
size of the city and the expense at
tached to laying the mains to the res
idence districts.

These figures are taken from the

fifty Of those enlisting sent in their

were accepted.
Besides the soldiers, the parents Of
the soldiers openly sympathize with
the war. These may all be properly
expelled, but the feeling among the
members is against taking severe
measures.

GUERNSEY COWS
AVERAGED $l0l.93
ELSBERRY'S SALE AMOUNTED
no $6,387.OO-GEO. w. WILSON
or STANLEY SELECTED EIGHT
HEAD-SALE A BIG SUCCESS,

The Elsberry sale of high grade
Holstein and Guernsey cows, heifers
and calves held at the Riverside Dairy
Farm last Thursday was the biggest
event in the line of sales that ever
took place in this section Of the coun-
try. ALctioneer II. J. Hecht was right
in his element, disposing of 20 head Of
Cue. nseys and 3S Holsteins in record
breaking time. The Guernseys brot
an average price of $1O1.93 and the
Holstcms averaged $9O.2S, which may
be considered an exceptional price in
view Of the fact that included in both
classes are many calves and yearlings.
The total sales for the day were &c.
3S7.OO, a very neat figure for 81 head
OF cattle.
Buyers were present from nearly all
sections Of the state, but principally
from this northwestern section. Geo.
Wilson of Stanley purchased eight
head, and E. E. Burdick Of Douglas
six, the remainder of the herd were
,urchased by buyers from various
points, six head going to Carpio, three
to Max, and two going to Deering
parties, the balance being secured by
farmers in this section.
The sale was very satisfactory to
the buyers as well as to Mr.. Elsberry.
1t will be long time before this part
Of the state witnesses another such
sale of exceptionally fine cattle. Mr..
Elsberry's reputation as breeder of
thorobred and grade Guernseys and
Holsteins is more than state wide, and
his sales always attract the atten-
ton of breeders anxious to secure the
best. .
