PETERSON QUITS O.P. RACE
WILL NOT SEEK REPUBLICAN
GU5ERNATORIAL NOMINATION.
Decides to Support BurnqUist in e.
fort to Reunite Party7-lVer-
son to Run.

Minneapolis, Jan. 4.-Following the
burial of the late Governor Hammond
at st. James, James A. Peterson Of
Minneapolis issued a statement in
which he says that in the interest Of
harmony in the Republican ranks he
will abandon his intention to become
candidate for the Republican guber-
Material nomination and will, on the
contrary, support j. A. A. Burnquist
in this delicate hour.
Iverson Remains in Race.
Mr. Iverson, in direct contrast with
Mr.. Peterson, made statement, upon
learning Of Mr.. Peterson's announce
ment, that he would remain in the
governorship race.
THE untimely passing away of Gov
ernor Hammond" said Mr.. Iverson,
will make no change in my campaign
plans. My friends, who are many in
the state, and among whom are many
neWSpapermen, have for months con.
nected my name with the governor
ship. l am for business administra-
ton and law enforcement. My friends
ton because of my long experience in
state office, and they say that l can
bring about a change in state admin
istration that the public is demand
ing"
Would Reunite Party.
While Mr.. Peterson had made no
definite announcement of his candi-
dacy for the Republican gubernatoriai
nomination it has been we'll under
stood and little concealed that it was
his plan to enter the field to contest
for that honor.
In his statement Mr.. Peterson takes
the attitude that reunion of the Re-
publican party and the regaining Of
the control of both state and ma
tional governments are more impor-
tant that his own ambition to be the
Republican standard bearer in Mime
sofa next fall.

BURNQUIsT MADE GOVERNOR
LEAVES SICK BED TO TAKE OATH
OF OFFICE.
Refuses to Make Statement as to
Future Plans or Possible Changes
at Minnesota Capitol.

st. Paul Dec. 31.-Only few hours
after Winfield Scott Hammond, Min
nesota's bachelor, Democratic COVER
nor, had been stricken by death in far
away Louisiana, Joseph Alfred Arner
Burnquist took the oath of office as
governor of Minnesota. So fate
thrust the governorship of Minnesota
on Mr.. Burnquist, young st. Paul law
yer, Republican supporter in a some
what conservative manner of the doc
trines of temperance and reform.
1t was not gorgeous spectacle,
this inauguration of the young gov
ernor fate decreed to give Mime

sick during the morning.
There were hardly more than a
score in the room when Justice
George Bum called upon Mr.. Burn
quist to raise his right hand to re-
ceive the oath.
Becomes Minnesota Governor.
When Mr.. Burnquist took that
oath he became at once the fully
qualified governor of Minnesota and
George II. Sullivan of Saltwater,
president pro tenn of the state SEN
ate, became lieutenant governor.
Governor Burnquist would not make
any statement as to his future plans
or possible changes in his official
family

escort met the funeral train at ST..

The city of ST. James was in fu-

were closed, and the people of the
city attended almost to man. Win
dows of the stores displayed portraits
of the dead governor draped in mourn
ing. Theaters and other public build
ings of the city were at the disposal
of the public as rest rooms.

hung one or more wet, heavy, red and black sogsy strips. The scalping had been no mere figure of speech. Thank heaven, none of our own people was similarly decorated!
 So horrifel and revolted was I at this discovery that hardly reused my ser to greet the men, I looked with aversion and yet with certain fasci- nation on the serene, clear features of these scalp talzers. Yet, since in the days following this aversion could not but wear away in face of the simplic- ity and straightforwardness of the sfronticrsmen, II had to acknowledge that the atrocious deed was more a product of custom than of natural bar parity.
 Though these Indian troubles had nothing to dowit it, nevertheless they marked the beginning of our change of luck We suffered no definite mis- fortunes, but these things did not go well. The slight malarial attack of Don Gaspar ~as the first of an annoy ing 0eries. suppose we had all been inoculated on the marshes of the Sac ramento. and the disease had remained latent in our systems. The hard work in the open air had kept us healthy, but the fever only awaited the favor able moment of depression or of over work. The combination of ice cold water around our legs and burning sun on our heads was not the best in the world. Fortunately Tank. who came from an ague country, had had foresight enough to bring supply of quinine. For two months one or the other of us was ailing, and once for a few days five of us were down!

The Robbery.

 ' B cooked ourselves a meal
 NN and built ourselves a fire. NV About midnight we heard
 the sounds of horses rapidly approaching. Immediately we leaped from our hunks and seized our rifles, peering anxious1y into the darkness. A moment later, however, we were reas- sured by a shrin whistle peculiar to Buck Barry, and a moment later he and Don Gaspar rode into camp. We assailed them with a storm of questions why had they returned What had happened2 Where was Tank? Had there been an accident?
 Don Gaspar, who appeared very weary and depressed, shook his head sadly. Barry looked at us savagely from beneath his brows.
 "The gold is gone, and that's an end of it!' he growled.
 At these words a careful, dead si- lence fell on US all. The situation had suddenly become too serious for nasty treatment. We felt instinctively that wrong word might do irreparable damage. But in our hearts suspicion and anger and dull hatred leaped to life full grown. We frightened our belts, as it were, and clamped our el- bows to our sides and became wary, watching with unfriendly eyes. John ny alone opened his lips.

 ''This is scout, not house moving expedition,,"i said Bagsby decidedly, land somebody's got to keep camp"
 "I'n stay fer one," offered old man Pine, his eyes twinkling from beneath his fierce brows. "Pve fit enough In- juns in my time"
 After some further wrangling we came to drawing lots. A number of small white pebbles and one darker were shaken up in a hat. l drew in the fourth turn and got the black. sfIard luck, son. murmured old man Pine.
 The rest were eager to be off. They leaped upon their horses, brandishing their long rifles, and rode off down the meadow. Old man Pine leaned on the muzzle of his gun, his eyes gleaming, uttering commands and admonitions to his five sons.

They were, as the old man had said, driving before them a half dozen DO nies, which Governor Boggs herded into the corral. Nobody said word. One. or twoi stretched themselves. Johnny seized cup and took long drink. Tank leaned his rife against the wall Old man Pines keen, fierce eye had been rowing over every detail, though he, too, had kept silent.
