was rarely year that he did not re-
ceive some memento or remembrance
of the occasion, either from some of
the survivors or their descendants.
The superintendent of the Yellow
jacket at that time was General John
B. Winters, who died in HALEY about
ten years ago. At the time of this
fire Winters was charged with hav-
ing set fire for the purpose of de-
pressing the price of the stock on the
maket. So thoroughly was this be-
lieved by many of the miners and
their friends, that to avoid lynching
Winters was forced to leave the Com
stock and never returned there. For
ten years the Miners Union OF vir-
ginia City endeavored to have him in
dicted for murder. Prior to this he
had been known as the best liked and
thoroughly respected mining man in
that booming camp. The Yellowjaek
ct was one of the Bank of California
(Ralston) properties. It had produc-
ed enormously for several years
then the ore body had apparently
been exhausted and further prospect
ing had been prosecuted. Then a
large and very rich body OF ore had
been uncovered. and the controlling
(Ralston) faction kept this quiet
while an effort was made to buy up
the outstanding stock at a very low
price.

the strike and told their friends. All

RAILROAD GIVES UP
TELEPHONE PLANS

Because it is impossible to buy ma
terial for building telephone lines at
this time the Oregon Short Line has
been forced to abandon for time it's
plan to dispatch trains between Pc
catello and Huntington and between
Pocatello and Ogden by telephone.
Information to that effect was re-
ceived yesterday from the general
offices of the company.
The plans for installing telephone
lines included the purchase of equip
ment to the cost Of approximately
$50, 900. The item was included in
the budget for this year and received
the approval of the board of direct
ors.
| When 1t came to the purchase OF
the material. however, 1t was found
that the factories which make cop
per wire and other items OF equip
ment have contracted their output
for the next two years and are un-
able to fill additional orders. The
railroad was therefore compelled to
postpone for at least two years the
change from telephone to telegraph
service.
Telephone service for dispatching
trains has been in effect from Poca-
tello to Granger for some time and
has been found satisfactory. Offic-
ials of the road have decided on q
policy Of installing the telephones
for the entire system because they
lessen the chances for accidents. The
equipment, however, is considerably
more expensive than that required
for the present telegraph service
used by the dispatchers.-H Herald

pennant in the National league grow
brighter every day. The Braves have
made great gains on the Dodgers in
their swing through the west and
played the best ball while here of any
eastern visitor
StalIings this season has more
hitting than his club ever developed
before, Magee and Konetchy being
important at driving in runs. His
pitching staff is every bit as good as
it was the year he won pennant!
He has lost Bill James, but Tyler and
Rudolph in the last six weeks have
been turning out victories with ma
chineIke regularity. And Allen,
Hughes and Nehf are good enough
to take a regular turn and whip any
club in the league.
Boston is making this fight with
out Johnny EVers, who has been abb
sent for some time, first because of
injuries and then because of a run
in with the Umpires. All of which
may be indicative of something.
Maybe it means that StaIlings has a
regular ball club and does not need
the ginger of the crab. Maranville
furnishes that ingredient, and in
plentiful quantities.
Brooklyn has kept at the top on
the strength of good pitching and
teamplay. The team boasts no 300
slugger, yet is around the top for
club batting. Recently, however, the
pitchers have not been enjoying life,
Larry Cheney has fallen off some
what, and Pfeffer, the iron man of
the combination, has been hit hard.
PhiIs are still in the fight, but it is
hard to see how Moran can win a

TOM HALL HANKfRS
SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD
LIKE TO BE BACK IN OLD POSI-
TION FEEDING COPY TO THE
LINOTYPE.

Thos. Hall, secretary Of state, ant
one of the defendants in the famou!
Youmans damage suit, has been herr
during the trial. Mr.. Hall never &C
tually had anything to do with tn
Youmans affair, except that by virtue
of his Office, he is a member Of tn
state banking board and ordered tn,
bank to be closed upon the recommen
dation of the state bank examiner
Mr.. Hall is an old time newspaper
man. For years he was connected
with the old Fargo Argus and late
with other publications. "This sort O.
a case makes me itch to get back int
the newspaper game" Mr.. Hall stated
to an Independent representative
"Give me subject matter as interest
ing as this case affords and batter!
of typesetting machines and I woule
be perfectly happy"
1t will be sometime before Mr.. Hal
gets back into the newspaper game
again. He has been Secretary o.
State for several years and is can
didate for reelection, with the yer!
best chances of winning again.
Staale Hendrickson, cracker-jack in
surance man, legislator, and a possible
candidate for Congress from thu
Third, has been an interested attend
ant at the Youmans trial. Staale ha:
had a reserved seat in the "Amen'
corner and hasn't missed word dur
ing the entire trial.
Miss Lindley of Rugby, Judg'
Burr's very good looking and efficien
court stenographer, has been report
ing the Youmans trial for Mr.. You
mans. John G. Lowe, Judge Leigh
toms court stenographer, is on the jol
as the regular reporter.
Edgar L. Richter, former presiden
Of The N. D. P. A., arrived from Lari
more to spend several days at the bis
trial. Mr.. Richter is reporting tn
trial for the Grand Forks Herald. In
cidentally, he is mingling with prom
inent public officials and would-be Of
fcials, practically all of whom have
gathered here from every nook ant
corner of the state. "Rick" is can
didate for the Senate from his dis
trict., The bipartisan League ha!
put up a strong man against him, bu
the editor says that the fellow will
have to go some to beat him.
Rufus Tree, a resident of Velva fol
twelve years, is a candidate for treas
urer of McHenry county. He is inter
ested in farming and for some time
has been manager Of the Welo store
Mr.. Tree is an able man and appears
to be mighty good timber for the Of
flee to which he aspires.
Miss Ola Stromsrud, Minot's popu
lar soloist, has been quite i'll at the
hospital.

The capital stock was increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 and practical
ly all Of the additional stock was
bought that day. The affairs of the
company were found to be in the very
best of shape, with prospects for do
ing a big business this year. This be-
ing a cooperative proposition, it is
undoubtedly a good thing for Minot
for it will always insure the farmers
top notch prices for their products.

MAY ELIMINATE
I. one CANDIDATE
1T Is PROBABLE THAT EITHER
BURDICk OR FRAME WILL BE
p. ELIMINATED FROM THE FIGHT
FOR GOVERNOR.

A meeting of a number of promi-
nent republicans of the state was held
in Minot Tuesday night. Among those
present were Frank Sprague of Graf
ton, chairman of the republican state
committee; U. l.. Burdick, Of Willis
ton, candidate for governor; T. Welo,
of Velva; Simon Westby, Of Williston;
Robert Fox, of Towner, and others.
There is every indication that Bur-
dick and Frame, two of the candidates
for governor, will get together and
that one of them will be eliminated.
The Non-partisan League has become
so strong that it was thot advisable to
join forces against the League candi-
date. Burdick is willing to do this,
and it is reported that Frame will
agree to it. Burdick is willing to abide
by the decision Of rs or 35 prominent
republicans of the state and it is
possible that one Of the candidates
will be eliminated by some method

The Largest in North Dakota.

The Walker Greenhouses of Minot
are without a question the largest in
the state. The big greenhouses, locat-
ell at the eastern end of the city, pre-
sent beautiful appearance with the
thousands Of potted plants, carnations,
lilies and hundreds of other varieties
of flowers. The soil is particularly
adapted to the growing of plants and
flowers and the carnations are finer
than any that have ever been shipped
into the city. The Walker Greenhouses
are doing an immense business, send
ing stock thruout North Dakota and
Montana. Geo. E. Walker, the man.
ager, knows the business and deserves
a great deal of credit for building up
such splendid place. 49,

ROSS LAD SHOT
BY F|END
JAMES WALCOTT SHOT IN BODY
BY JOHN ROLAND, A FARMER,
WHO USED A .3O-.3O CALIBRE
RIFLE.

Stanley, N. d., April 3.-John Ro-
land, who has been residing on a
homestead about eighteen miles south
west of Ross for the past four or five
years, was arrested Thursday after
noon, charged with shooting James
Walcott, and placed in the county jail
to await hearing.
1t seems that young Walcott and
another party by the name Of Moore
were hauling hay on Wednesday after
noon, and the road runs within a short
distance of the Roland farm buildings.
As they were passing the building
with the load Of hay, it is alleged that
.30-.30 rife in his hands and started
struck the Walcott boy in the body
and another bullet killed one of the
horses. Moore, having no way of pro-
tecting himself, started to run, while
it is said that Roland fired a number
of shots after him.
Immediately after the shooting Ro-
land started across the country to-
wards the White Earth stage route,
accompanied by his wife. They spent
the night with a farmer and the fol-
lowing morning hoIdnu SOL rlQe TO
White Earth with the stage driver.
He was arrested at White Earth by
Marshal Hansen, who had been mott
fed by Sheriff Slaughter. The sheriff
went to White Earth Thursday even
ing and brought Roland to Stanley.
In conversation with a newspaper
representative this morning Roland
stated that his intentions after the
shooting was to come to Stanley and
give himself up to the authorities.
Roland was a resident of Stanley
four or five years ago and is we'll
known in this city.
The condition of the Walcott boy
who was shot, is very serious and it is
said that there is very little chance
for recovery According to word re-
ceived this morning he is still alive.
