.BuRDICK WILL Be
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
WillistOn Man Confirms Report of
Candidacy.

Devils Lake, N. D., May 25.-Ush-
er L. Burdick, former lieutenant gov
ernor and recognized as one of the
strongest progressive leaders in
North Dakota, yesterday affirmed the
report that he is a candidate for the
Republican nomination of governor.
The Williston man, who received
over 10000 votes in the last state
wide primary, declared that he was
in the race, while in the city on busi-
ness.
The announcement of Burdick is
the opening gun in the political cam
paign, the preliminary heat of which
extends to the June primary, 1916.
1t was only coincidence that Bur-
dicks announcement was made here
while ]. H. Frame of Grafton looked
upon as the probable candidate Of
the stalwart faction of the Republi-
can party, was also in Devils Lake.

F.. H. MAINS ACQUITTED.

Mandan, May 25.-The case of the
State against E. H. Mann of Ellen
dale, who was charged with embez-
element in failing to account for Ger
tain funds, has been dismissed as
without grounds for action. 1t was
claimed that Mr.. Mann had collected
something like $500 as the proceeds
of real estate deal and had failed
to turn it over to the owner, who
had since died. The evidence, how
ever, showed not only that he had
turned over practically all of the
proceeds of the sale and taken the
owners receipt thereof, but had ac-
tually been sued as surety Of the
owner and judgment taken against
him in a sum much larger than the
balance due.
His failure to pay the balance was
due to the owners failure to pay the
note on which Mr.. Mann was surety,
thus permitting the judgment to go
against him. and the court held that
under the circumstances he was JUS
titled in so acting, and that no crime
had been committed. He is the son
Of Railroad Commissioner Mann.

BOUNTY ON JACK
RABBITS WANTED

In Utah and Nevada ranchers are
compelled to fence their grain and
garden crops against jack rabits.
The rabbits have increased in num-
ber to such an extent that they have
become destructive agency.
1t is claimed in the western part of
North Dakota that the bounty on
coyotes, which has resulted in the
destruction OF many of these ami
mails, has permitted the rapid in
crease of jack rabbits. The natural
foe of the rabbit is the wolf, and as
they are becoming scarce the rabbits
are increasing in consequence and
are doing much damage to crops in
certain localities. A bounty on jack
rabbits as we'll as coyotes and crows
is suggested.

THE n. D. COAL RATE CASE
Further Action to Be Taken Soon in
the Matter.

Bismarck, May 20.-The railroad
companies of North Dakota will file
in the near future, it is said, the or
der of the United States supreme
court in the matter of a maximum
Ignite coal rate, the mandate to be
filed with the state supreme court.
This action will result in dissolving
the injunction now effective in the
coal rate case, which, it is said would
automatically restore the rates in
effect in 1907, before the maximum
coal rate became effective. These
rates are much higher than the rates
now effective. -
VIII Be Suspended.
Should the railroad companies file
the mandate and re-establish the
1907 rate, the railroad companies
will Immediately suspend that rate
and will call hearing to be held at
Bismarck about the middle of June,
at which hearing the miners, ship
pers and consumers of Ignite will be
given an opportunity to be heard.

London, May 25.-A Reuter- dis

ing autograph letter from Emper-
or Francis Joseph to Count Karl
Stuergkh:
Dear Count Stuergkh.
request you to make public the
attached manifesto to my troops:
Vienna, May 25.
Francis Joseph to his troops:
The King of Italy has declared
war on me. Perfidy, whose like his
tory does not know. was committed
by the kingdom of Italy against both
allies. After an alliance of over
thirty years duration, during which
it was able to increase its territorial
possessions and develop itself to an
unthought of flourishing condition,
Italy abandoned US in our hour OF
danger and went over with flying
colors into the camp of our enemies.
Responded Loyalty.
We did not menace Italy; did not
curtail her authority: did not attack
her honor or interests. We always
responded loyalty to the duties OF our
alliance and afforded her our protec-
ton when she took the field. We
have done more. When Italy direct
ed covetous glances across our from
tier we, in order to maintain peace
and our alliance relation, were re-
solved on great and painful sacrl-
fees which particularly grieved our
paternal heart. But the covetous-
