Burdick Lead Over
Frazier In Cass Is
866; Small for Hanna

BY plurality of S66 votes, which
bears out the estimates made yester-
day, Usher L. Burdick Of Williston
carried Cass county for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor, accord
ing to the official canvass, which was
completed at the courthouse early this
afternoon. The vote in the county
stands-Burdick. 2,176; Frazier, 1910;
Fraine. Gal, and Smith, 6S.
Hanna Carries cass County.
Governor L. 3. Hanna carried Cass
county over P. J. McCumber of Wah-
peton for United States senator by a
plurality of 147, the rural districts
going for McCumber and the city of
Fargo for Hanna. The governor car
ried every precinct in Fargo, which
gave him the lead which the rural
vote was unable to overtake in the
county. The vote on the senatorship
Istands--Hanna, 1875; McCumber,
1,528; Mitdbo, 151, and Naetos, 623.

received in the county.

With only four precincts missing out

Returns on the Nonpartisan judici-

impossible to secure at this time. The

however, that Steele's majority for

No more striking or convincing
evidence Of the strength Of the Nom

it is organized, is to be found than in
the returns from several isolated pre-

the general returns from similarly or

only did the members stand by their

an almost similar condition prevailed,
though Steen there received II votes.
Bryan township, in Gpiggs county,

COMMITTED AT GOLDROADS

When William Kirk, miner of the
Goldroad district was arrested last
Tuesday afternoon by Constable Ay-
ers on charge of raping a six-year-
old girl of that place, the details of
one of the most revolving crimes
which has been recorded in Mohave
county were made public.
The complaining witness in this in
stance is Mrs. Robert Mcmahon, who
informed the officers that Kirk had
not only ravished her child, but that
he had caused the little one to con-
tract loathsome disease through his
relations with her. Kirk, whose home
in Goldroad was recently destroyed by
fire, had been taken into the home
of the McMahons and was their guest

girl is said to have taken place.

WANTS TO ASSIST UNCLE
SAM AS A SCOUT

Does Uncle Sam need the services
of one of the greatest Indian trailers
in the world? Jim Ketchum, chief of
the Mohave Indian police at Clark
dale has offered his services to the
United States in the event of war
with Mexico.
Ketchum is one of the best known
Indians in the Southwest. He has a
record Of taking more bad Indians
than any man living. He assisted in
the capture of Geronimo the Apache
outlaw, his superior officers being
captains, then later Generals Wood
and Lawton. He also served as scout
under Generals Crook and Chaffee.
He recently accepted a commission
from the warden of the Arizona State
prison to hang five men but they
were granted time for further appeal.
At the time they were hung, the State
was out of funds and could not fur
nish the famous Indian officers trans

NUMEROUS FOREST FIRES
REQUIRE QUICK ACTION

Albuquerque, N. NJ, June 3d.
Forest officers here have announced
the purchase of several new specially
constructed motorcycle vans for use
in rushing tools and food supplies to
fire fighting crews. The new vehicles
are in the nature of an experiment.
1t is said that experience has repeat
eddy demonstrated that the effective
ness of crew of fire-fighters often
depends largely on the possibility of
supplying them with special equip
ment or extra provisions at the STRAIT
egic moment. Where the base of sup
plies is for from the scene of the fire,
wagon transportation is often too
slow and automobiles unduly expens-
i've.
The new motorcycle vans are ex-
pected to fill this need. They consist
Of one-wheel side-car, attachable to
any motorcycle, and have a capacity
of 500 pounds Of freight They will
make 10 to Is miles per hour, load
ed, on mountain roads, which is more
than twice the speed of wagon. At
the same time the cost is much less
than for automobiles.
If the present conditions continue,
Forest officials say, there will be
plenty of chances to try out the new
vans. 260 fires have been put out on
the National Forests of Arizona and
New Mexico this spring, and the fight
continues at the rate of about so
blazes per week. The woods are re-
ported to be dry as finder all over the
Southwest. DULY constant vigilance
on the part Of Forest Rangers, and
the utmost care on the part of the
public in handling matches and camp
fires, will prevent really serious losses
of timber, sawmills, and ranch pro-
perty.

HAYDEN WOULD DONATE
MORE LAND TO ARIZONA

Congressman Hayden believes that
Arizona should have assistance in
building and maintaining roads, be-
cause of so much land having been,
withdrawn for government use and
has introduced the following bill for
that purpose:

assembled, that there is hereby grant
ed and conveyed to the State of Ari-
IONA one million acres of unreserved,

for the purpose of constructing, re-
pairing, and maintaining public roads
and highways.
Sec. 2. That said lands shall be
selected under the authority and
direction of the State land depart
ment of said State within three years
after the passage and approval Of
this Act, and the Secretary of the In
terror is hereby authorized and direct

Arizona as soon as the selection or
designation has been certified to him
by the governor of said State, the
designation to be made by legal sub
