SYLVESTER DIES
At GLEND|YE
Conductor Who Shot Wife Acct
dentally, Operated Upon in
Montana Hospital.

Glendivc, May 2.--rhat grief and
worry over his troubles so preyed on
the mind of Charles Sylvester, a we'll
known Northern Pacific conductor,
that his health failed completely.
Sylvester died at the railroad hoa
pital at GlendiVe late Monday after
noon. Physicians there had operated
upon him for gall stones or ulcer OF
the stomach, and also removed his
appendix.
1t was on the evening of February
s. 1915, that Sylvester told his wife
he was going to Dickinson, returned
a few hours later to the rooms over
the newspaper office at Beltield and
found a couple of men there. A
quarrel followed, and Sylvester took a
revolver from his grip and according
to the testimony brought out at SUBJ
sequent trial, started out Ito get that
fellow"
His wife interferred and was shot
in the stomach, dying February 9.
Sylvester was formally charged with
murder on February 10 by the Stark
county officials and was given pre-
liminary hearing which lasted until
February II. Held to and tried in
district court the jury returned yer.
dict substantially that the shooting of
Mrs. Sylveser was an accident.
After brief time Sylvester came
to Mandan again and resumed his
work as conductor. His friends
scarcely. knew him for he had lost
flesh and was changed man. He
sought only to live apart with his IL
year old son.
The boy presents a pathetic figure
in the case. He was told yesterday
that his father was dead but would
not believe it, nor could any of the
sympathetic friends at the Brink home
where he lives, persuade him of the
truth of the statement. This morning
he went to the Northern Pacific tele
graph offic in ,Mandan and asked
whether they had heard from Glen
dive how his father was today.
Charles Sylvester had been EN-
ployed by the Northern Pacific since
1902 and until 1910 ran between Dick
inson and Glendive. He was trans
ferred to Mandan and served as pas.
senger' conductor from Mandan' to
Glendive until 1914 when he took up

work just short time before the
tragedy which cost his wife's life and

The failure to file the petitions yes

atory for the farmers, doing effective
team work.
Another Of the issues in that CAM
paign was the so.called graft in feed
ing county prisoners. George W.
Stone, a democrat, was elected on a
platform promising to end the graft.
Stone made no change in the plan OF
boarding prisoners, collecting the
same fees as his predecessors and so
continued until toward the end OF his
second term when a new board OF
county commissioners concluded to
have the county serve the meals.
Stone reluctantly gave the work but
not until more than three years had
elapsed after the reformers had Or
iginally put him in office.
In the 1910 campaign woman suff-
rage was an issue in the state OF
Washington. The women looked
around for speaker to 90 among the
farmers and finally agreed on R. e..
Martin. He was guaranteed 5000 "a
month and expenses and lost no time
in annexing the suffrage contract to
his work as boss smasher of the court
house ring. Martin hammered away
at both issues night after night, while
the workers in the movement saw
that the silver Offering was not over

For about a year after coming to
Spokane Martin undertook some sort
Of farming in the Spokane valley,
about 10 miles east of the city. On
week days he attempted to follow the
plow and on Sundays acted as pastor
of the Opportunity church. Martin
found farming not sufficiently remun-
erative and preaching less so, and
both occupations were shelved as he
emerged as a county reformer.
Early in 1911 Martin became active
in the work Of the farmers union
and soon blossomed out as a pro-
moter of cooperative warehouses in
Spokane. The farmers were to ship
their berries, fruits and vegetables to
the warehouse, Martin was to sell
them to retail dealers and the graft
OF the commission dealer was to be
eliminated. AS an initial move the
farmer was asked to subscribe for SO
much stock, payable on the INSTALL
lnentl plan for which he gave his
note br promise to pay. Large QUAR-
ters were leased, stenographers and
bookkeepers employed and soon the
cooperative warehouse was installed
with Martin as manager at fat sal
airy. Its life was brief, however.
After a few months operation large
losses were incurred, farmers suffer
ed heavily through failure to dispose
of their products to advantage and
Martin was deposed as manager. The
warehouse has long since passed into
the realm of memories, being another
of the reforms that Martin had prom
ised his followers hut failed to ma

While employed as manager OF the
warehouse Martin took up the study
of socialism under the tutelage of his
friend Coates and before the year was

pay roll as lecturer. So successful
was he in picturing the miseries OF
the down-trodden and oppressed
laboring man-his friend had shifted

Spokane, Wash, May 2.-R. g.
Martin, farmer for less than year
one time preacher, Office seeker and
socialist lecturer, had varied ca
reer during the seven or eight years
he centered his activities in Spokane
He is now field manager for the
Nonpartisan league Of North Dakota
Through his aftiliation with the so
cialist party, his close connection with
D. c. Coates Of Spokane, editor Of
the Nonpartisan Leader, ana the lat
ter's intimacy with Charles Edward
Russell, socialist writer, Martin in
1915 shifted his base to North Dakota.
For nearly five years Martin has, day
and night, preached the necessity for
political action through the medium Of
the socialist party. Now he is under
stood to be equally as insistent on
the Nonparlisan idea as advocated by
the farmers organization Of North Da-
kota.
Martin first appeared on the horizon
of the state OF Washington in 1909,
coming from Wisconsin Iowa or some
other point in the middle west. He
had barely inhaled few breaths of
the mountain air of the northwest
when he came to the front as an ad-
vocate of county political reform. He
lambasted the court house ring
with such vigor, posing all the while
as a doWn.trOdden and abused farmer,
until his neighbors in the Spokane
valley began to believe what he said.
Other farmers organizations were in
terested, a grand jury was demanded
and granted by the court, and the
chief result was the indictment of the
then republican county clerk, Cal At
kinson, who was alleged to have col
lected 81 500 interest on trust funds
of ligitants and placed the money in
his pocket. Atkinson protested that
the money did not belong to the coun-
ty, that he was personally liable for
il and paid for his own surety bond
to protect the funds. On these rep
reservations his attorneys had the in
dictment quashed in the superior
court and the case dismissed.
In 1910 Martin organized the Good
Government league to fight Atkinson
and the co-called county ring at the
polls Atkinson was $sefeatnas Il sasrds Il IA
democrat, Glen B. Derbyshire, elected
in his stead. Martin went up and
down the county among the farmers,
picturing all forms of abuse at the
court house.
-Four years later, after serving two
years, Derbyshire, the reform candi-
date supported by Martin and the
God Government league, was found to
have stolen $4,000 of the trust funds,
for the taking of interest on which his
predecessor was drummed out of Of
flee at the behest of Martin and his
reform league. Derbyshire was
traced across the continent located,
brought back, convicted on a plea of
guilty and is now serving time in
the Walla Walla state prison.
In the same county reform cam
paign Of 1910, D. G. Coates and his

unions and Martin furnished the or.

MANY STATE MAPS

That the latest map of North Da.

Agriculture was issued at a time when
it was most urgently needed. is
proved by the rapidity with which
the $4,000 maps so ordered are being
bought by those who can use this
method of state advertising in their
business.
These maps were received from the
publishers March q, this year, and at
this writing, April %, there are less
than 5000 remaining. By ordering in
$4,000 lots a special price has been Sc
cured by Commissioner r.. F.. Flint
which is less than half the rate that
would be charged in lots Of 10000 or
less. This full reduction has been Of
fered to anyone who can use 100 or
more maps, and figures out $1.O5 per
hundred or multiple thereof. f. o. b.,

The map speaks for itself and as
whole constitutes veritable store

posted on the development and re-

Commissioner Flint has placed an
ether order for $4,000 with the pub

This method of publicity has been
