President Townley of Nonpartisan
League Visits MinOt.

A. c. Townley, president of the
nonpartisan league, was a visitor in
Minot Sunday The president just
now is working for the new daily pa
per which the league proposes to es-
tablish at an early date. The weekly
Leader will not be abandoned, but the
new paper will be published in con-
junction with it.
Mr.. Townley does not court public
ity and is rather unassuming. He
declares that the work Of the league
will be extended to the other agricul-
tural states and says that much work
has already been done in Minnesota
and South Dakota. Mr.. Townley said:
"Our enemies are already saying
that the state government will be up
heaved and that anarchy and ruin will
follow the taking hold of the affairs
of the state by a man who has come
from the farm. They can not point
out any dishonesty in our candidates;
neither can they show but that they
are Intellectually capable of handling
the affairs of the offices to which they
aspire. The only charge they can lay
against them is that they are farm
ers. Well, that's not a very serious

HORSE THIEF
WAS ARRESTED

Russell Lupo, transient, who stole
horse and buggy from James Scholl,
a Granville farmer, Friday noon, was
arrested by Sheriff Nedreloe at the
Chas. Scribner farm near Tasker that
night. Lupo had driven to Minot but
he passed thru the southern portion
of the city as he feared that the Of
ficials would be looking for him. He
offered the outfit for sale to Mr.
Scribner at such low figure that Mr..
Scribner's suspicious were aroused
and he telephoned the sheriff, who
made the arrest before Lupo could get
away. Lupo was turned over to the
McHenry county authorities and is
now in Jail at Towner.
Scholl had driven the horse to Gran
vile and tied the animal to a hitch
ing post. Lupo boldly united the horse,
got into the buggy and drove away
The horse has a peculiar gait and it
was easily trailed to Minot. The own
er was surprised and pleased to learn
upon his arrival here that the thief
was already behind the bars.
Child's Mistake Ends Fatally
Carrie Elaine, the little three-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j.
Nurse, residing in Spring Lake park.
died Tuesday morning as the result Of
eating bi-chloride of mercury tablets
which were on dresser in the home,
supposedly out Of reach of the little
one, but which she in some manner
found and ate, supposing them to be
candy, as the tablets were white and
not the usual blue ones. The mother
had been absent from the house but a
moment. When she returned she
discovered the child in commissions.
Her screams aroused the neighborhood
and Notwithstanding the fact that
emetics were administered pending the
arrival Of physicians, who battled val
iantly for her life, the deadly poison
had done its work and death resulted
within a few minutes. The funeral
services were held at the home this
morning, Rev. p w. Erickson conduct
ing the services. The interment was
in Rosehill cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs Nurse have the sin
cere sympathy Of wide circle of
friends in their bereavement.

HOCY ELEVATOR At
BURLINGTON CLOSED
Burlington Concern Financially In
volved-$15,O0O Worth of Tickets
Out-COmmissiOn in Charge

jamestown, N. D., Aug. 23.-With
approximately $4,000 in storage tick
cts outstanding and creditors pressing
for relief, the Hogy Elevator com
pany at Burlington, northwest of Mi
not, was forced to suspend business
yesterday, according to word which
of the North Dakota State Railroad &
Warehouse commission during his stay
in jamestown late yesterday after
noon.
The assets of the company are not
known at the present time and will not
be until the commission has had time
to make complete investigation into
the affairs
The Hogy Elevator company at Des
Laos, also near Minot and short dis
lance west Of Burlington, also owned
by H. T. Hogy, is reported to be in a
sound condition. A blanket bond of
$4,000 covers both elevators, which
will apply in full on the losses of the
defunct company. The surety bond is
with an eastern concern.
The above appeared in Wednesdays
Fargo Forum and the information evil
IDENTIFY was furnished by Secretary
Gushing. The Independent made an
effort to get into touch with Mr.. Hogy
this afternoon, but he was out at his
farm near Burlington. The Independ-
ent understands that Mr. Hogy is
working hard in hopes of financing the
elevator, hoping to pay the creditors
in full so that his house can again run,
but whether he will be able to do so or
not is a matter of conjecture at this
| time.
There are in the neighborhood of
a dozen farmers from the vicinity of
Burlington holding tickets for stored
grain in any considerable amounts. A
number of the ticket-holders have con-
ferred with Minot attorney but have
not definitely placed their business
with him, waiting until the state rail-
road warehouse commission can make
a complete investigation. Unless Mr..
Hogy can resume business soon, it is
possible that the commission will place
a receiver in charge of the elevator.
Mr. Hogy claims, according to reports,
that his elevator was hard hit last win
ter when grain took a sudden drop. He
had hedged as is the usual custom
with elevators, and says that he was
isold out by the grain commission firms
at an inopportune time. 1t is report
ed that several grain commission
houses are losers. Mr.. Hogy has al
ways borne an excellent reputation as
a. business man and he is considered
thoroughly honest. His many friends
hope that he will yet be able to pull
out Of what appears to be a rather diff
ficult situation
