AMID0N wins
OUT AS SLOPE
COUNTY SEAT
DISTRICT COURT RULES THAT
1872 ILLEGAL MARMARTH
VOTES WERE CAST.
Testimony introduced Tended to Show
That Residents of Five Different
States Voted in Marmarth.

Amidon was declared the perman-
ent county seat of Slope county
Thursday afternoon, as the result of
a decision by Judge w. C. Crawford
in the district court, when he ruled
that 1872 votes cast in favor of Mar
marth at the general election last
November were fraudulent or illegally
cast. The suit was brought in the
behalf of Amidon by M. ]. Connolly,
publisher of the Slope County News,
w. F. Burnett of Dickinson being the
attorney. Attorneys Snow & Young
of Bowman represented the defend
ants.
The hearing was originally set for
April End, to be held at Bowman, but
request for a transfer to Dickinson
was granted. The plaintiffs submitted
nett. Among the witnesses subpoen-
nett. Among the witnesses subpoen-
aed were County Auditor J. F. Hume,
Judge Fred White and Clerk of Court
A. B. Landquist, all of Slope county.
Numerous dispositions were also in
troduced which went to show that
scores of votes were cast by men who
had not the slightest claim to legal
residence in Slope county. Some of
the Marmarth voters were residents
of Miles City, some of Harlowtown,
and others Of Mobridge, Aberdeen,
Mcintosh and even Dickinson. Votes
were also cast, it is alleged, by Mime
sofa and Wisconsin residents, and by
81 transient laborers of a track re-
pair crew on the Milwaukee railroad.
Of the absent voters ballots cast, IT
were declared illegal.
A few figures which were intro
duced in the testimony are interest
ing: The last census gave Marmarth
population of 7O8 people, 140 of
whom were male citizens of voting
age. The primary registrations last
spring totaled $40, but only 140 of
these voted at the fall election. Yet
there were 399 Marmarth votes cast
at the general election.
.s,<!Th fact that 1872 Marmarth votes
were declared illegal, overcomes the
Al plurality lead held by Marmarth
and gives the county seat to Amidon
by the comfortable plurality of 81
votes. The success of Amidon's suit
is largely due to the splendid efforts
of Attorney Burnett, who gathered
testimony, dispositions and evidence in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota
and Montana, as we'll as in North Da-
kota. He was confident that he chad
the goods" on Marmarth, and the
decision of the district Judge bore
out his contention.
AS result of the decision of Judge
Crawford and the casting out of the
irregular Marmarth votes, the vote
now stands as follows:
For Amidon ................... SIT
For Marmarth d2S
For Bessie ...... 267
For Slope Center ........... SO
On the face of the general election
returns Marmarth secured 612 votes

DICKINSON NORMAL TO
RECEIVE STUDENTS FOR
1918 SUMMER SESSION

The Dickinson state normal, under
plans upon which the board of re-
gents is practically agreed, will be
opened for the summer term of 1918,
with a president and four instructors,
handling courses in English, history,
mathematics, sciences, methods, psy-
chology and pedagogy.
originally there was some thought
OF endeavoring to open the normal
this summer, but it was found that
the $4,000 available for maintenance
must be spread so very, very thin to
cover two years that no good results
could be expected. Covering one full
school year, and the summer session
OF 1913, the $4,000 will be appor-

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 1917.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 1917.
The record prices paid for Sumatra
at the American inscriptions bid fair
to be paralleled proportionately, of
course, by our domestic binder and
filler crops ready to be marketed now.
From Wisconsin come reports that for
the tobacco from the southern section
of the state, thirty-five cents is being
asked and for tobacco in the northern
part, forty-fve cents for s'what it is. !"
In Pennsylvania offers of thirty-five
cents are reported to have been refused
while Connecticut binder leaf is said to
rule at fifty cents.
With such prices undreamed- of ever
before for crops that are destined to
enter into consumption this year, cigar
manufacturers will evidently have to
face the hardest kind of struggle.
When filters and binders ruled at an
average of fifteen cents, Seed cigars
sold at nickel piece, leaving fair
profit to the manufacturer, distributor
and retailer. But with the price of
filler and binder trebling, the five-cent
cigar will have to shed its nickel price
if there is to be living profit for any
body in the cigar industry. The leaf
market naturally does, not seem to be
highly elated at these sky-rocket prices.
Its sympathy is deeply with the manu-
facturer but not being responsible for
the tremendous rise he has to submit
at the present time to the bidding of
the tobacco grower to whom the mil
lenium of war profit seems to have ar
rived. Journal.

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 26, 1911

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 26, 1917.
An unprecedented hail storm swept
the southwestern section of Lancaster
county on Friday afternoon between A
and O'Clock and caused considerable
crop damage. Much tobacco which
was not harvested was torn to shreds.
Hundreds of window panes were brok-
en- and a number of barn roofs were
torn off. Never in the history of that
section, say number of the oldest
residents, has such a storm of such
fury broke forth. In some of the roads
hailstones fell to the depth of at least
twelve inches.
The storm circled Lancaster and
swept down the Susquehanna Valley,
breaking forth when it reached Martic,
Fulton, Drumore and Little Britain
townships.
By the time this communication
reaches the readers the tobacco crop of
Lancaster county, or most OF it, at
least, will have been cut and shielded.
But for the recent frost it would have
been great crop because since the
frost we have had fine growing wealth
er and the greater part of the crop
would have been given at least two
more weeks for developing, just about
the length of time the crop was late in
the planting. The backward plants
made wonderful strides forward the
two weeks preceding the freeze, and
with a couple more weeks of growth
there would not have been the amount
of small plants that were seen in the
field during the cutting period. AS was
to be expected, the frost was followed
by the most feverish cutting time, the
majority of growers being fearful of
another frost. The night following the
big freeze another frost did come, but
it did little damage, being what is
termed a wet frost, while that of the
night previous was black frost.
Since the frost the packers have been
riding the county pretty steadily, partly
with a view to getting line on the ex-
tent of the damage by the frost and
partly with the design of sounding the
growers on prices. They were not long
in finding out where the growers stood
on the price question. They have SIM
ply gone wild on the subject. And yet
one cannot help looking back to the
time of the buying of the 1916 crop.
That tobacco began selling at twelve
cents, but soon began climbing until it
See-SaWeQ between HILeeH anu SlAIeeH
and one-half cents.
It is still subject for discussion as
to how badly the tobacco was damaged
by the frost. One thing can be put
down for certain. None will be tota!
loss, though the writer has heard per-
sons who had been out looking over the
fields say they saw lot that they
would have plowed up if it belonged to
them.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Oct. 5, 1917.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, oct. D, 1917.
Probably the last of the belated 1917
tobacco crop has reached the curing
sheds during the week and at date
considerably later than any recent sea-
son. There has undoubtedly been some
green tobacco cut while growers have
been anxious to complete the harvest.
There were light frosts again early in
the week but hardly severe enough to
further mark vegetation. All the
fields, even those hit by the early frost,
have been harvested, for growers have
been anxious to save every bit of leaf
possible. The week has brought some
some fine curing weather but many
more warm days are needed to cure out
the later shielded portion. The grow
ers are especially urged to see that
their sheds are kept open as much as
possible while the Indian summer sea-
son lasts.
Aside from the sales of '16 made
from samples forwarded to eastern
markets.. we learn that the F. C. Bor-
den Co. has sold 4OOcs lot to a Cana
dian manufacturer. The Mcintosh
Bros. have disposed of the balance of
their 1916 packing to the General Cigar
Co.
The shipments out of storage reach
3OOcs and cars of bundles to all points
since last report.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The month of October is here and as
we write some of the 1917 tobacco crop
is still being hung in the curing barns.
This is an unusually late date to pro-
long the harvest and leaves scarcely a
month for tobacco to cure before heavy
freezes may be expected that penetrate
the sheds, producing fat stems. Only
the very best of fine curing weather
can prevent injury to the late harvest
ed leaf and certain loss to growers.
There is something the farmer can do
that may hasten along the curing by
opening up his sheds on every warm
day and permit the sun and warm air
to reach the interior of the sheds as
much as possible. To accomplish this
growers must pay more than ordinary
attention to their curing barns, regu-
lating the ventilation according to the
weather nor can they hardly afford to
be Indifferent while prices continue at
such high figures. 1t is we'll understood
that fat stems is more to be feared by
packers than any other class of dam
age and is distinct loss to the farmer,
SO it stands the grower in hand to aid
in every way the shed curing of his
late harvested tobacco. If the season
does not bring the necessary weather
conditions it would be money in the
pockets of growers to prepare means
for artificial heat to hasten the work
along. But while the warm days last
see that the sheds get the full benefit
of them.

POULTRY SHIPPERS
HURT BY BOYCOTT
new YORK ENFORCES

Eastern Indiana poultry shippers
have been made victims of the high
price boycott of New York housewives.
At least three shippers in this Sec
ton have had carloads OF poultry re-
turned to them by consignees in the
metropolis.
One shipper near Liberty was forced
to accept his carload back after it had
reached New York.
Another at Greensboro had car
load returned from Pittsburgh and a
third from Whitewater had his ship
ment refused.
The poultry boycott was broken this
week, however, because of Jewish
feast, although prices are below the
pre-boycott days.
