RooseveIt's Name Written
Roosevelt's name was written on
several of the ballots for the Repub-
lican nomination as president, he get.
ting one vote in the first ward; two
in the first precinct of the fifth ward;
one in the second precinct Of the fifth
and one in the sixth. Elihu Roots
name was written on two ballots that
were cast in the first precinct of the
fifth ward. In some quarters of the
state it appeared that Republicans
called for Democratic ballots just to
vote on the position of Democratic
national committeeman. Especially
was this thought to be the case at
Kenmare, which gave Perry u;
Bruegger 81 and none for Olson.
It will probably not be until the end
Of the week before presidential cleo
tors and the delegates to the national
convention on both the Republican
and the Democratic tickets will be
known.

Darcy Commercials: Frederick Wei.
Ter, the 12-year-old son OF Mr. and Mrs.
Gottlieb Weller, who lives east Of
Darcy, died Sunday evening. He had
been suffering from an attack of diph-
liberia, but up to the time of his death
had not been considered in any imme.
date danger. In fact it was thought
that he was recovering nicely. A few
moments before his death he asked
his mother for a drink of water. He
was sitting up in bed drinking the
water when he fell back and expired,
death being due to paralysis of the
heart, which is one of the resultant
complications of diphtheria.
The funeral services were held Tues
day and burial was made in the Lad
bury cemetery, the German Methodist
minister of Valley City conducting the
services.
The sympathy of the entire commun-
ity is extended to the bereaved rela-
tives in their hour of sorrow.

AUTO FUMES POISON.
Two Men Nearly Lose Lives While
Fixing Car.

West Liberty, Ia, Jan. 17.-Un-
conscious from the gasoline fumes
they had inhaled while repairing an
automobile, John H. Trey, local silo
manufacturer, and Charles Waite,
automobile repair man, lay uncon-
scious in the snow early Wednesday
morning, until assistance and ply
stefan reached them. A younger
brother of Trey ran to a night res
taurant, several blocks away, and
after incoherently telling his story,
also collapsed, but soon regained
consciousness.
Trey was the first to feel the eff
fects and made an attempt to get out
of the inner room of his factory,
where he and his brother and Waite
were at work on the stored machine.
Waite, who never has fully recover
ed from the effects Of an automobile
accident a few years ago, contrived
to drag Trey out of the building and
there they both fell helpless in the
snow.
The older Trey recovered, but
started for home, ignorant that
Waite had lain beside him. Waite
was carried to The nearby municipal
power plant where he was revived
Though both remain in serious con
dition, it is believed they Will recoy
er promptly.
