lan's cutting Wilson SO severely with
knife that amputation of the arm
was necessary. Sentence has not yet
been pronounced. but the sentence
may consist of from one to five years
in the penitentiary.
An interesting case was that of
Chas. Wrangham against Frank Eli
ot. About year ago Wrangham was
arrested by Elliot. charged with shoot
Wrangham was found not guilty at
that time. and Immediately brought
action against Elliot on a charge of
false imprisonment The jury brought
i'll verdict in favor of Wrangham,.
directing that Elliot pay him the sum
of 81 .OS5.

CAME FROM ALL OVER SARGENT

Senator Fairbanks Not the Human
lcicIe That the Newspapers Some
times Characterize Him

People came from all over Sargent
and Dickey counties on Saturday to
hear Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks,
republican candidate for vice presi-
dent. 1t was Il beautiful day and the
good weather of the past few weeks
has made the roads better than they
have been for this season. The city
was full of people, the estimates run
ming from two to four thousand
The LaMourc people We're anxious
to hear Mr.. Fairbanks and were sue
cessful in holding the train twenty
five minutes. Necessarily it was two
O'Clock before the speaker arrived in
Oakes. The DISTINGUISHED visitor was
met by Mayor Slocum. EX-Congrcss-
man Marshall and Supt. Blume. who
accompanied him in an automobile to
the speaking stand. the balcony of
the Home Hotel being selected for
this purpose and which had been
nicely decorated by Landlord and
Mrs. Rathman. Mr.. Fairbanks re-
quested that he be allowed to keep
close to the people in order to save
his voice. and he was allowed to
speak from the automobile.
Supt. Blumc introduced the speaker
of the day in Il few well chosen words.
Senator Fairbanks at once launched
into his subject. He went back to
the days of the last democratic ad-
ministrationa when Grover Cleveland
was president. and showed the de-
pressing times that prevailed in this
country under the free trade tariff.
the tariff for revenue only, that was
put in operation by the democratic
party. He reviewed that administra-
tion and followed this up with the
unprecedented prosperity this coun-
try enjoyed under the sixteen years
that followed under republican rule.
This brought national matters to the
campaign of 1912. when as the result
of too many great leaders the party
was split and Woodrow Wilson was
elected president. The enactment of
the Underwood tariff bill brought
about the same condition in our man.
ufacturing districts. and until the Eu
ropean war came on there was re-
vulsiOn of feeling against democratic
rule. The great prosperity this coun-
try is now enjoying is due to the
large orders coming from across the
sea for munitions of war. as well as
for something to feed and clothe those
engaged in the great conflict Never
has there been such a war in all his
tory. and the United States in It's neu-
trality has been courted first by one
side and then the other. We are bet
ter equipped than any nation to han.
die these vast war orders. and conse
quently the democratic party is en-
deavoring hard to work this prosper
ity to its advantage When peace
comes and these factories brought
about by the war are shut down the
same depressing conditions as before
will obtain.
Senator Fairbanks spoke in all
kindness of democratic opponents
We are all neighbors. working for the
betterment of our common country
He tried to show that it was only q

cratic free trade doctrine never work

Report From London.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Russian pressure
on the Austrian lines in Bukowina con-
tinues heavy today, official reports
from both Petrograd and Vienna indi-
eating the fighting there as desperate
and sanguinary in character. The re-
port that Czernowitz has been evac-
uated by the Austrians had not been
officially verified at noon today. Petro-
grad advices advoid reference to the
reported fall of the Bukowinian capital
but insist that the Austrians have
been forced to fall back upon their
secondary defenses.
In the Champagne country French
artillery continues to pound heavily
upon the German linesee, and the Teu-
tons are compelled to retain heavy
masses of troops in their advanced
trenches constantly. Between Sois-
sons and Rheims, where the artillery
fire is reported as being of unusual ac-
curacy, great damage has been infict-
ed upon the German trenches. Infan-
try attacks, however, have not been at
tempted anywhere along the western
battle front during today.
Developments that are expected to
have important bearing upon the fu-
ture conduct of the war, and especially
upon operations by British troops, are
expected to result from the conference
between representatives of organized
labor and the government in London
today. This conference, which will
probably be of Importance regarding
TIE attitude of laboring organizations
| toward the manufacture of munitions
is also expected to determine finally
the position to be assumed by the lab
oring masses toward the government S
