Moose Leaders May
DELAY Nominations

Chicago, June 4.-The Progressive
National Committee will meet to-mor-
row morning to make final arrange
ments for the third party convention at
the Auditorium on Wednesday. As
there are no contested seats, only rou-
tine business is planned. Leaders
thought it possible, however, that some
statement might be issued bearing on
the relations of the Republicans and
Progressives.
Despite increasing demands by Roo5a-
welt supporters to-day for the personal
attendance here of Colonel Roosevelt,
his secretary, John W. McGrath. de-
cared positively tonight that the Col
onel would remain at Oyster Bay during
the convention.
Two Progressive national committee
men-Harold l.. Ickes. of Illinois, and
William Holton Dye, of Indiana, issued
statements tonight regarding the Pro-
gressive interests.
Certainly the Progressives will no.
nominate Justice hughes without
knowing his position on the vital issues
of the day" said Mir. ickes. "The pos
sibility Of joint nomination OF Justice
Hughes by Republicans and Progress
sives is therefore a remote contingency.
On the face of the present suituation
Justice Hughes is plainly impossible OF
consideration for the Progressive nom-
nation"
Willing to Make Concessions.
Declaring that Indiana Progressives
we're for Mr.. Roosevelt, "or some one
lust as good, a man in whom they
have implicit confidence" Mr.. Dye
said the Progressives were willing TO
iGy aside their party emblem or some
OF the things they had fought for ito
accomplish the success of their broad
err patriotic movement"
Mutual interest of Progressives and
Republicans of Oregon was shown by
exchange of seats between the rival
delegates and alternates. The Oregon
Republicans, who arrived to-day, have
enpointed five Progressives as their
aiternates in the Republican conven-
ton. and the Progressives have named

Washington.

George W. Perkins, Of New York, that

publicans have taken action -ound

POINTERS ON TRAPPING

Guns must be carefully cleaned
and oiled and the traps must be
gone over 80 that everything may
be in readiness when the calendar
shows the beginning of the game
laws open season. Some states do
not protect their game and fur
bearing animals, and in these they
may be hunted and trapped at any
time, but it is short sighted
sportsman who will take an animal
before it's coat Of fur becomes good.
Early-caught skins are worth very
little, whereas the same skins TAX
en- after they become prime will
command excellent prices.
Trapping is also prof1table. and
the farmer boy will find the skins
of the fur-bearers producing a
source of revenue that will help ma
terially toward the winters expense.
Fur prices are on high basis and
every man or boy who is willing to
work can make extra dollars this
winter by trapping the mink, skunk,
muskrat and other animals that
abound on most farms.
Time spent now in getting traps
in shape and in replacing any that
are broken will be paid many times
over when the active trapping sea-
son begins. The trapper who has
to buy traps. bats and other trap
ping supplies should be sure and
get the best that can be had; for
while the first cost may seem
higher the best goods are much
cheaper in the end.

Minot, N. d., Oct. 19.--A tran
sient with nothing on his person to
lend even a faint clue to his iden-
tity, was killed on the Great North

mile east OF the stock yards east of

but there were no other distinctive
marks by which the body could be
identified.
Nothing is known OF the manner
in which the unfortunate man came
to his death but it looks as though
he had lost his hold on the climb
ing ladder of a freight car and his
foot had held in the rung while his
head was dragged along the track
for thirty or forty steps. his brains
being literally beaten out by his
head coming in contact with the
ties. One hand was cut off, it hav-
ing evidently been thrown under
the wheels in his desperate struggle
to have his life.
There was small amount OF
money on his person and letter

penitentiary, but the legislature did
not see fit to make the punishment
so strong, and the bill did not be-
come a law.
Judge Leighton's record on the
liquor question has been consistent
with an honest endeavor to enforce
all laws impartially.

the smaller could not do so and he
was compelled TO drive to town and
spread the alarm. Deputy Sheriff

This is another death that will

HERE'S A NEW
! !. FAK|R Of NATURE

Jamestown, N. d., Oct 19.-Five
weeks ago a cruel wolf satiated his
interior economy by feasting off the
corporsity Of a hen turkey. Four
teen little ones were left mother
less to a cold and chilly world.
Then certain little thing hap
pened' with the result that history
is apt to be fractured. An old tur~
key gobbler arose to the occasion
like. man and Immediately took
charge OF the little ones under his
wings and saw to it that they were
brought up in the way that good
little turkeys should be.
The old turkey gobbler taught
them like school master to
skrooge when a hawk or a prairie
eagle appeared and when a coyote
or wolf came on the horizon to
duck He stayed by family, sacri-
ficing many an hour in the barnyard
while the chandeliers were chant
ing their morning lullabies.
The old turkey gobbler stayed by
his. little family until every one
was properly "weaned."
Then something dawned upon
him. He would hunt out a nest
and if possible raise a brood him
self He found nest of fourteen
eggs and began to set upon them
or sit upon them. This thoughtful
operation has been in progress for
more than week.
That the old turkey gobbler is
going to produce some prize Win
ners Is the opinion Of Mr.. and Mrs
p1ySr 'riaee Mhe rssias ststsnan 1a the een W.
ty. who came to town yesterday and
told the story.
They declared that residents in
that vicinity are taking Il good deal
OF interest in the old turkey COB

H0LDOP CRIMINALS
SHOOT THEIR VICTIM

Stanley, Oct 19.-Lars M. Olson,
thenty-three years old. whose home
is in Wisconsin, and who was re-
turning to that place from Ray
where he had been employed in the
harvest and threshing work, was
held up and instantly killed by
thugs in this town last night. Three
shots were fired at the man, but
only one took effect. M. Gillispie
was with him at the time of the
holdup and he ran to the Great
Northern depot to summon help.
This 80 frightened the assassins that
they fled from the scene of their
crime before they had time to rob
their victim. who had $50 in cash
on his person.
There were three of the murder
ers in the gang and they caught
their victims in dark place along
the railroad. All had come in on
freight train. though the victim
and his partner, so far as the lat
ter knows. did not come in contact
with the criminals on the trip. 1t
was while waiting in the yards
shortly after the arrival of the
train that the murder took place.
Two of the shots fired went wide
Of the mark, but the third pierced
the victims heart and he died al
most instantly. A coroner's inquest
was held on the body this morning
and the jury rendered a verdict that
death came from gunshOt wound
caused b~ persons unknown to the
| Jurors. The criminals have not as
yet been apprehended, but the Of
acials are making every effort to
run the dastards to cover.
The deceased was unmarried.
The remains will be shipped to his
home in Wisconsin for interment.

STEER HEAvES THE
DRIVER FROM SEAT

Lansford. N. D.. Oct. ia pc
culiar and rather laughable run
away occurred on Main street in
this city. One Of George Sidener's
hired men was driving up the
street with steer in high grain
box. The steer inserted his horns
under the seat and heaved a mighty
heave. The man on the seat made
pretty flight landine on his hands
and knees in the road.
The horses, frightened by the un-
usual manner of alighting turned
sharply tipping over the wagon,
steer and all. The front wheels
obligingly parted company from
the rest Of the wagon and leaving
steer, wagon box and rear wheels,
the horses started up thc> street.
At the corner they made a flying
switch when the bolt let the double
trees loose and the wheels started
to ram Carl Christenson's auto
while the horses turned the corner
and made for the country where
hired men do not fly. They were
caught a few miles out and the out

A DAYS LABOR NOW
EQUAL TO SIX IN 1866

The United States Department Of
Agriculture in 1855 made an inves-
tigation as to the time required to
produce a bushel of corn. They
found that it required four hours
and "a minutes of human labor.
From 1909 to 1912 a similar inves-
tigation was made in Minnesota.
T. P. Cooper, then with the Mime
sofa Experiment Station, now dir
ector of the North Dakota Expert
ment Station, in summing up the
results, finds that 45 minutes is the
time required to produce a bushel
of corn now or only one-sixth as
long as in 1855. In other words
a day OF human labor now is worth
more than six times as much as in
1855. due to 1.-THE use Of more and
better machinery, better varieties
OF corn and better soil management.

:, Bismarck. N. D., Oct 19.-An
Interesting case involving the rights
of candidate for one Office to &C
cept nomination on the same bal
lot for another is headed for the
supreme court from Grand Forks
county, said rumor current at the
capitol yesterday.
H. A. Bronson Of Grand Forks,
was Republican candidate at the
primaries in June for senator from
the Seventh district. He was de-
feated by Albert Stcnno, by a vote
of 387 to 376. In the same pri-
maries, Bronson received two Dem
ocratic votes for senator and four
votes for district Judge. Charles
M. Cooley was unopposed for the
nomination for district Judge, and
when the returns were certified, his
was the only nomination noted
since Bronson had not been can

and those who circulate such un-
truths must know it. Leighton's
district covers four counties. In
two Of which, Burke and Divide. he
