FIGHT AGAINST
REMOVAL BEGUN
Bismarck Begins legal Battle 10 Rs.
tain Government Seat.

Bismarck. May Is. Papers
have been served on Secretary
of State Thomas Hall, enjoin-
ing him from placing on the
ballot the proposed constitu-
tional amendment for the re-
moval of the capitol of the
state from Bismarck to New
Rockford.
The action was started in the
district court of Burleigh coun-
ty by Miller. Zuger and Tillot-
son, in the name of A. G.. Hin
ckey. a Bismarck business
man.
The case is based on the al
Legations that the petitions
do not contain the required
number of signatures of legal
voters. also that the constitu-
#tional amendment under which
the petitioners are working ;s
not self enacting, lacking the
necessary legislative enact
rnent to make it operative.

Highs Win Easy Victory.

In a decidedly one side d
game the Bottineau Highs de-
feated the Westhope high
school team on the local dia-
mond FRIDAY afternoon by a
score of 20 to 2.
/. The game was devoid of in
terest aside from the fact that
Bottineau has one of the fast
est teams in the state. The
visitors, while putting up a
plncky fight, never had look
in on the game.
"A large number of Westhope
rooters came down with the
team and did their part to spur
the bows on to victory. but it
was a hopeless task from the
very outset.
The locals would like to ar
range for games with some of
the really fact high school
teams Of the state and will no
doubt be able to acquit them
selves creditably. It is likely
that some Of the boys will be
drafted into the city team when

at 8 o'clock escorted to the

formed by decorations carry ing
out the senior colors. The
color scheme, yellow and white,
was cleverly carried out in the

LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES OUT.

That the legislative fight is
going to be anything but a
tame affair in Bottineau coun-
ty is assured by the advent of
no less than four more candi-
dates on the republican ticket
during the past week.
HI. C. Harty, c. c. Jacobson
and E. O. Haraldson, all old
members of the legislature,
have SHE'D their hats back into
the ring. It is understood that
a Mr.. Wooledge, a prominent
farmer Of the Maxbass vicinity.
will also be a candidate.
There are already four candi-
dates in the field. endorsed by
the Nonpartisan League. Two
of these are republicans and
the other two democrats. With
six candidates on the republi-
can ticket and only four to
nominate the race promises to
be an exciting one.

Three Horse, Poisoned.

John Engstronn one of the
prominent and well-to-do farm
ers of "A n e + township, lost
three valuable horses Monday

He had taken out a sack OF
poisoned oats from the town

when he was getting some
seed grain ready he happened
to run across this unsuspic,
ious looking sack Of oats and
went to the bin in the barn and
empted it in with the other
feed, and at noon each horse
was given q liberal quantity.
Four horses were fed in this
manner and Of the four DR..
Stewart could only save one.
Coming just as il does at the
busy, season the loss is keenly
felt by Mr.. Engstrorn. Antlei

spied an animal in a tree near
his house on the farm. On APP
preaching it he discovered that
it was bob-cat. He went to
the house and got 22-calibre
rifle and opened FIRE on the
animal, but aside from enrag-
ing the small bullets had little
or no effect. The animal be-
gan to show fight when Foster
concluded to change weapons.
He then got a 32-calibre revolv-

Grand Forks. May II. From
every section of northern North
Dakota and parts of northwest
ern Minnesota came reports of
high winds, blowing out seed
grain, wrecking small build
ings and blowing down trees
and poles.
Larimore reports said it was
the worst wind and dirt storm
Of years. Farmers in that sec
ton, it is said, will find it ne
cessary to reseed practically all
their grain. '
Reports from points on the
Neche, Walhalla and Hannah
lines declared that large acre.
ages Of the grain were blown
away. Points to the north Of
here, such as Draytpn and
Grafton, also report heavy wind
storms with great damage to
the crops.
Hundreds of acres will have
to be reseeded," says j.. G..
Haney Of the international
Harvester company's demon
stration farm. I have had re-
ports from many elevator men
and farmers and they tell me
thatsince Sunday vast amount
Of the grain has been blown
away. This is especially true
on the higher pieces, but the
damage was not the less on
low land, for the dirt from ex-
posed places drifted over it,
burying the seed too deeply to
permit of growth.

I am 90 glad and thankful to
you for offering space in your
valued paper to correspondence
other than the socialist variety.
i think We are greatly indebted
to such men as the editors OF
the Omemee Herald and the
Souris Messenger, they are not
afraid to come ont and state
their minds Ia regard to the
nonpartisan league, which ie
headed BY q bunch Of socialists
who would nislead the farmers
and enlist their aid ia aling
the republican party; II seems
so easy to imislead the farmers.
OF course, / presume this 81 be-
cause they are honest III their
belief but ignorant.
And then we hare another
great friend of the faraners,
flaat i can't help but give hon
ofable mention, nanely y 90.

In reference to a letter OF one

san Leader of May 18th, will
cay that ] wish to thank Mr..
Fletcher for publicly stating
over his signature that he does
not approve Of the things for
which l stand. l assume this
to apply to Mr.. Fletcher's now
well known aversion to, paying
debts as well az to uestiona OF
public Importance. Having
never heard Of Mr.. Fletcher, /
was curious to know who or
what he was, if in reality the
name was not fictitious. | am
informed by friends in the Tur-
tie Mountains that Mr.. Fletcher
is at present league organizer
and a devoted worshipper of
President Townley and Emma
Goldman. having acquired a
little notoriety SOME time ago
by getting into trouble with
the bonding company protect
ing his employers and having
but recently jumped a SOL. 30
board bill at Schafer, N. Oak,
according to the court records
Of Mckenzie county and the
sheriff's files of Bottineau
county. I could not under
stand how man of his ten
dencies could hail from the
Turtle Mountains as to my
