The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-06-08

This community was greatly
shock ed this morning when it
became known that Fred Jes-
mer, youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. A. Jesmer, who for
number of years, were residents
of this city was accidentally
killed last evening. Young
Fritz as he was faniliarly
known by our residents. had
left the house on the claim
north of Westhope to get a
young colt which was tethered
nearby and put it in the barn
for the night. On returning
the animal became frightened
at something and started to
run, dragging the young lad
whose arm had become tan
gled in the tether rope, over
the ground, his head striking
on rocks and other obstacles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesmer saw the
colt start to run and i'm mediate
ly went to the boys rescue,
but before help could reach
him his head had hit a large
rock and the base of the skull
was fractured, being uncons
cious when picked up. DR..
Perrin of this city was notified
by telephone at once and left
for the home as soon as posi-
BILE, but the young lad hao died
before he reached there, never
regaining consciousness. Ant

Notice 10 The Public.

The Souris Messenger has
been authorized by Bottineau
county member of the Non
partisan league Ia farmer) to
challenge any league member
to debate the following ques-
ton: Resolved that the
Farmers Non-partisan league,
as now controlled, is detriment-
al to the farmers and the State
of North Dakota as a whole"
This farmer" who issues the
challenge takes the affirmative.
I am ready to make a date
with E. L. Garden of Souris
the manager of this debating
farmer. Mr.. Garden wrote me
to meet him at Souris to make
arrangements as to how to
conduct the debate, but as my
time is as valuable to me as
Mr.. Gardens is to him, and as
he has assumed the manage
ment of this debating farmer, !
consider it his duty to come
to see me.
I wonder if this debating
farmer" thought that by hot
disclosing his name, we would
all be bluffed out. / am inclin-
ed to believe. that Mr.. Debating
Farmer is a farmers elevator
man, who probably tried farm
ing for about two years and
quit to keep from going broke.
The Omemee Herald also
seems to be very much inter
ested in this debate, but is op-
posed to q farmers rally in

amusement features.
On account of the large
crowds expected the picnic as

Fair grounds. In the event of
rain the speaking program will
be held in the opera house,
which has been reserved for

ming to arrange for the big
picnic. Thos. Hennessy, L. L.
Stair and James Miller were
appointed a committee on ar
rangements.

the .andpoint of gaining poll
tical knowledge" 1t seems to
make a great deal of difference
with my friend Matt, as to who
has the brass band and who
has to dance to the music; but
in any event, with or without
the band, we are going to do
our utmost in assisting Matt to
acquire some much needed,
new, political knowledge. The
more so, since it is apparent
that Matt does not yet realize
that his machine is QUO of date,
and that he has not kept pace
with progressive ideas in poll
tics.
The Omemee Herald says it
has been patiently waiting for
me to answer the questions
asked two weeks ago, and they
cannot be answered by brass
bands" l am afraid Matt has
the brass band fever; but dom t
worry l will be in Omemee
on June 18th at 8: 90 p. m. to
answer the questions, and I
may also do as some newspa-
pers do in answering ques-
tion-ask some more.
[ am pleased to hear you still
have $1O1. 80 Matt, for if you al
ways have that amount you
will never go broke and so will
avoid being branded a Grimm
al. You know, according to the
latest newspaper standards a
man is classed as a crook and
everything but a gentleman if
he fails in business and cannot
meet his obligations, even
though he is compelled to both
buy and sell at the other mans
prices. On the other hand if a
man has the chance to skin
others and by doing so becomes
a millionaire, he is O. K. with
some people. -- -.
Now in regard to those fake
letters and Mats $1O1.9O re-
ward, if we had some means of
getting at the truth, / would
bet $1O1. 80 that they were fax
ed by others than friends of the
Non-partisan league and that
they are a part of the dirty
campaign framed up by would
be politicians to discredit the
league and the farmers. You
are using the old Chamber of
Commerce tactics, and when
the voters of this state see their
local papers, such as the Souris
Messenger and Omemee Her
aid line up with the Grand
Forks Herald and Fargo Cour-
ier- News, who have always
fought the Equity Co operative
Exchange, they should have
political knowledge enough to
discard the gang politicians
and vote in their own interests
at the coming primary.
Respectfully,
