gave such cry that in a moment ,
the house was aroused.

arms, She seemed to be dying
Jack held her closer to his heart
while he whispered. Live for me,
Alice, | love you dear, On, try to
live"
He then looked up and saw the
doctors startled face. From then
until noon the doctor and nurse
fought death. Again and again
Alice seemed to slip away from
them once her pulse seemed to stop
beating, but the doctor did not give

his eyes to the doctors face and
said. An over dose. suppose.
There was no dose at all, the
doctor replied. Your wife has taken
no morphine for twenty-four hours.

LEAGUE TO enter
OTHER STATES
Non- Partisan Organization TO Invade
Two Other States, Is Report.

Fargo, March 18.-The Far
mers' Non-partisan league,
which has become such a re-
markable force in North Dakota
politics, will. at the conclusion
of this years campaign, ex-
tend its activities to Minnesota
and Montana, according to
President Townley of this city.
Boosting of present mem
bership of between 80, GOO and
80, 600, and with political pro-
gram that includes absolute
domination of the republican
primaries as its most ambitious
feature, the league officials de-
clare that success in North
Dakota would bring to them
remarkable opportunities for
conducting similar propa-
ganda in Minnesota and Mont
ana during the succeeding two
years, and in 1918 they would
be able to dominate the prima-
ries of the leading parties of
these states, just as they expect
to dominate the primaries here
this year, and elect their candi.
dates to all state and legislative
positions in the general elec-
ton.

Action Dismissed.

Minot. March 18.-Mrs. r. N.
Allen. who was driving the car
which coliided with the motor
cycle, resulting in the death of
Herbert Franklin, was cited to
appear before Judge Lynch,
charged with manslaughter in
the first degree. The states
attorney brought the action.
After hearing the testimony
and going into the matter thor
oughly, Judge Lynch decided
that there was absolutely no
reason for holding Mrs. Allen
and the case was dismissed.
No one regrets the terrible ac-
cident more than does Mrs.
Allen.
Through her attorney, E. r.
Sinkler, Mrs. A. Franklin,
mother of Herbert Franklin,
hae filed papers in a suit
against r. N. Allen for $40, 600
damages. Mr.. Allen has en-
ployed Bradford & Nash to re-

la Toilette WINS
over ESTABR00k
oundsr Olson Appears 10 Have Defeat
cd lemks For National Committee
man by Tremendous Majority.

Sen. LaFollette was endors-
ed for president of the United
States i'm Tuesdays North Da-
kota primaries by an over
whelming vote. Estabrook
made considerable of a show
ing in the larger cities, where
considerable money was spent
in his behalf, but in the rural
districts his showing was very
discouraging, to say the least.
For national com mmitteeman
Gunder Olson has been elected
by big.majority over Lemke,
his opponent.
The big scrap in the demo-
cratic primaries over national
committeeman will be close,
but from returns available as
we go to press Perry leads
Bruegger by comfortable
majority. Olson, who had the
endorsement of the Non-parti-
san league, did not make a
very satisfactory showing OH
the early returns, but he is ex-
pected to gain rapidly as the
returns from the rural districts
are recorded. The tide may
even turn to such an extent as
to place him in the lead. but at
the present time it looks like
Perry, who made a far better
showing than was expected.
For delegates to the national
convention it will be several
days before anything definite
is known. 1t appears on the
returns in, however, that the
LaFollette delegation is in the
lead and it is likely that these
will be elected.

RYERS0N HOME At
MOHALL BURNED
Buildings Partially Saved But Badly
Damaged By Smoke and Water.

Mohall, March 18 1S.-T h e
residence of George l.. Ryer-
son, formerly assista mt state 8
attorney of Ward Co., and now
one of the leading members of
the Renville county bar, was
seriously damaged by fire,
smoke and water Thursday.
The fire originated from an
overheated furnace, and but
for the splendid work of the
local fire department., would
have been destroyed.
The structure was a new one,
having been built only a short
time ago and was one of the
beautiful and cozy homes in
the city. The fire department
was forced to fight the fire from
an aperture cut in the roof, as
the peculiar location Of the
flames made it impossible to
get stream of water unto it
from below. The firemen are
receiving many congratulations
on the efficient work they did.
Some of the members of the
family were forced to flee from
the building through the upper
story windows and make their
escape over the roofs of adjoin-
ing buildings.
The damage was about ST..
500 including that of smoke
and water, mostly covered by
insurance.

Rugby Wins Debate.

Rugby High. defeated "the
School of Forestry debating
team at the local institution
asst Friday evening. The Rugby
e. ool was represented by Miss
u Fluvad, Miss Grace Nc
Dc. and Mr.. Alexander
Burr. srhe Forestry was rep
resented by Messrs. Hovind ST.
belius and Falkenstein,
All the debaters acquitted
themselves most creditably,
but it is no reflection on the
others to say that Misss Fluvad,
who led the debate for the Wis
itors, showed unusal ability
both as a debater and as a
public speaker. This young
lady appeared on the platform
with the cool ilnpassiveness of
of a veteran and combined wit
with logic in a manner that
would have been creditable to
a platform speaker of years of
experience.
The verdict was unanimous
for the Rugby team, Messrs.
Weeks, McKelvey and Rishoff
officiating as judges.
Considering that this was the
first experience of the local or
atOrs in a DI1hlic debate thew
did remarkably we'll, their ad-
dresses showing great deal
of study and preparation.
~ Despite the bad roads, a large
crowd turned out for the de-
bate and incidentally took oc-
casion to visit about the COM
modious and orderly depart
ments of the state school.

HERD OF Deer
CAUGHT ON ICE
Fifteen Takeu From Missouri River
Ies And Are Held
Ia Corral.

Williston, March 18.-Fifteen
deer were taken from the ice
on the Missouri river at this
point and are now corraled in a
lot near one of the livery barns
in this city. A number of others
escaped and fled to the tim Der
along the river. The high water
had driven the animals from
their retreats and when they
got on the ice they simply ex-
hausted' themselves trying to
get off. This enabled the game
wardens to capture the animals
without serious effort.

Der of the constitutional con-

Sections SO and Is in every
