Rev. Albert Torbet Of the Presbv-
terrain church, in announcing the Pr
hibition presidential candidate car
this week, said last Sunday to his con-
gregation that while he did not intend
to vote for these candidates, he
thought that it is the broad-mindcd
policy to hear all sides of every ques-
ton SO as to be intelligent and not
bigoted in your decisions. After hear
ing them and conversing with them
he said that while they are both good
men and advocates Of the only
right policy on the liquor problem;
they are doubtless, both entirely I'M
fit for the Presidency because not pec-
sonally mel Of sufficient greatness
and Of the necessary training for that
highest office in our nation; and that
therefore they are not the men he
would want to see elected, and that
he does not expect to vote for men
whom he would not want to see elect

SHOULD worry" over the partial fail
ure of crop in North Dakota this

jackrabit bait.
Editor VoMches For Story.
When a story emanated from this
city a week or more ago about a
strange man playing" the James

teal and it remained for Hugh Wes-
ton, editor Of the Montpelier Magnet
to come to jamestown Tuesday after
noon and vouch for the accuracy of
the story.
John Moves South In Winter.
"When winter comes John moves
SOUTH" said the editor. "He works
the James river for it's big turtles
from the middle of May until of No.
vember. He ships on an average Of
from $500 to 1000 pounds a week by
express to Sioux City and Chicago
Some Of the turtles weigh from rs K
fifty pounds. John gets from 4 to I
1-2 cents a pound for them"
Fishes From A Rowboat.
According to Editor Weston, "Tu,
tie John" does his fishing for a low
boat. His bait is nothing else .tha'
jack rabbit. John is now located O.
the river a short distance from AID
rian, a small town south of Montpel
Ter. He is busy harvesting his Gro

Inquest Over Exhumed Remains
Being Conducted at Hazsn
Today a.,A "'.a.
TRAP SET FOR WRITER
OF BLACKMAIL LETTER

Iazen, N. D., Dec. 14.-The FotOplay
moving picture house today is staging
an interesting episode" in a real
drama. There is being conducted the
inquest into the death of Karl Maier
ordered by Attorney General Linde.
and the little picture.house is well
filled with witnesses and spectators
attracted by the grewsome entertain
ment offered. laa#
Contend Twas Not Suicide.
"The state is proceeding on the
theory that Karl Maier did not--could
not-commit suicide" said Assistant
States Attorney Barry before opening
the inquest this morning. During the
forenoon a number of witnesses were
placed on the stand, but no new or
particularly sensational evidence was
presented. VI ~
Remains Brought In.
The remains of Karl Maier were
brought to Hazen from Hanover yes
terday. After sleeping for almost a
month in grave at the village near
which Maier met his death, the body
today lies amid the grotesque trap
pings of the picture theater-the only
building of suitable size available for
the inquest. ".
Chris G. Olson is attending as spe-
cial reporter for Attorney General. H.
J. Linde, who has been interested in
the case since the middle of Novem.
ber, and whose reports from Burns
operatives engaged by him will con-
stitute major portion Of the evi-
dence to be presented for the state.
Trap for 1IackmaiIer. ..
A neat trap was set last week for
the unknown who wrote John Maier, a
brother of the deceased, blackmail-
ing letter in which he accused Maier
of the murder and threatened to
"peach" if $500 was not left for him
on a certain telephone post north of
Beulah. John Maier planted note
on the post indicated at the date spe-
cited, and he and the sheriff secreted
themselves in school house nearby.
Their watch was unrewarded. The let
ter has been regarded from the first
as a grewsome hoax, perpetrated by
someone possessing morbid sense
of humor.
Sweetheart on Stand.
Important among the witnesses
ouizzed today was the former sweet
heart of Karl Maier, who wrote him
from Hanover two days before his
death, telling him she could never
marry him; John Maier. first to find
his brother after the latter had twice
been shot through the chest; Maier's
successful rival for the affections OF
the young woman from Hanover; a
second brother of the deceased, Phil
ip Maier, and his brother-in-law, John
slbers, also were placed on the stand.
