BIG DAMAGE SUIT
 JURY DID NOT AGREE
]. II. Ammons Asking S2O,S5O From Joe Emerson and D. <. Hazel, Off, iicers He Dlames for Loss of
 Arm--0iher Gases.

The trial of the case of J. II. Am
 mons vs. Joe Emerson and D. A.
 Hazel, and against T. R. Jones, Sr., and J. A. Thornton as bondsmen for
 Joe Emerson, occupied the atten-
 tion most of the day Friday. The case is suit for damages aggregat. ling $20,850, which the plaintiff seeks to recover on account of in- iuries, resulting in the loss of his left arm, which he sustained in a shooting scrape with officers Elmer son and Hazel on January 2S. The
 case was submitted Co the jury about i o'clock Friday afternoon,
 and after deliberating until about i0 o'clock that night they had failed
 10 reach verdict. In making re- port to the court at that time the foreman stated that they stood about half and half. After admon- ishing them in strongest terms not
 to talk among themselves or to per- limit anyone to talk about the case in their presence or hearing, Judge Bowling excused the jurors until 9 o'clock Monday morning when they laeain took up delibcration.
 In admonishing the jury the court suggested that if another jury were lempannelled to try the case the lsame conflicting evidence would be presented, and the same difficulty lwould be encountered in reaching
 a verdict, and he pointed out that it
 was not likely that a better jury could be secured to try the case. H. | H. Thomas handled the case for the plaintiff and Col. Pole McPhetrige, Judge w. N. Martin and E. F. Baker
 were the attorneys for the defend ants.
 The jury which had under con- lsideration the damage suit of J. H. IAmmons against Joe Emerson and D. A. Hazel and J. A. Thornton and T. R. Jones, Sr, as bondsmen for Joe Emerson, after reconvening Monday morning and after deliberating for | for about i1a hours, returned into Icourt and announced that they were lunable to to reach verdict. The court after expressing regret that a verdict could not have been reached, which will necessitate the expense
 of another trial, excused the jurors.
 The court further ordered that the lease go over to the next term of court, and that the criminal cases growing out of this case also go over
 to the next term of court.
 The separate suits of Gamewell
 Fish and w. Nj. Fish against the ad- lministrator of the estate of D. A.
 Ritner were tried as one case, tho separate evidence was taken, the
 one suit being on account of board furnished for Fred Oswald ny
 Gamewell Fish, and the other being
 a claim for services rendered by w.
 NJ. Fish in watching the Davis mines near Gillham. The jury returned
 verdict at about 10 o'clock Friday might awarding Gamewell Fish the sum of Sf20 and Si25 for W. NJ. Fish.

SIX TO ONE AGAINST GERMANS
More Than Half the Human Race
 Now Fighting the TeutOns.

Girard in the Philadelphia Public
 Ledger.
 More than half the human race is now ranged in war against the Germans.
 The man strength of the Teutonic forces is outnumbered six to one by their foes.
 Omit all of India, and the Allies, backed by the United States, still have four times the population to draw upon that stands behind the kaiser.
 Subtract all the wealth of all the German fund from the wealth of the United States and there still re- mains more than 90 billion dollars.
 American farms grow more than all the farms of Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria combined.
 The United States alone can make more steel and all the products of steel than the whole Germanic league.
 Our mines yield ten times as much gold, far more silver, twice as much lead and many times as much cop per as the entire group of Central Powers.
 Germany's national debt is now nearly S200 per capita. Ours is only ISi0.
 To pay a years interest on his share of the nations debt costs g German thirty times as much as il costs an American.
 William Hohenzollern can nc more whip a united world than Ma poleon Bonaparte could defeat 6 united Europe, and it required tho latter only one hundred days tC throw bridge from Ella to St Helena.

E.T.CUTHBERT
IS CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS
First Definite Announce
ment of Candidacy to Fill
Helgesen's Term.

So far as Is known at this time the
first definite announcement of can
didacy for the congressional seat made
vacant by the death of the late Con-
gresham Helgesen comes from Hon.
F. T. Cuthbert of Devils Lake. In
view of the fact that Mr.. Cuthbert was
candidate for the republican nom-
ination for this position last summer
his name has been quite generally
mentioned with the position, and
when he was asked by representa-
| tive Of The Herald as to his intentions
he authorized the announcement that
he is a candidate.
II should consider it high honor
to serve as the representative Of this
district in congress-" said Mr.. Cuth-
bert. land If, when the situation has
been thoroughly considered by the
| representative men of the district. it
to present myself as candidate at
the special election which will be
called, l shall be glad to do so. In
that sense I am now a candidate"
| Mr. Cuthbert is one of the ablest
and best known attorneys in the state.
| He has always taken an active interest
in public affairs, and he is one of the
| ablest speakers in the state. Political
ly a republican, he is heartily in favor
of supporting President Wilson in
fevery step taken for the protection of
the interests and the preservation Of
the honor of the nation. He Is a vigor-
ton, and sturdy opponent of the
brand Of socialism whose leaders in
this state have injected into it the
spirit of anarchy and diSloyalty.

Realizing, Says Minneapolis
Editor, that They Equip
ped Little Coterie of
Men" Who Propose to
Run the Machine for the
Benefit of the Socialist
Party Are Beginning to
Open Their Eyes.
BY w. H. Hunter.

M apolis Tribune.)
The "embattled farmers" of North
Dakota have just begun to realize that
when they stole the livery and organ
ization Of the Republican party and
turned 1t over to the Nonpartisan
league, in the hope Of accomplishing
long desired and in some instances
wholly meritorious legislative re-
forms. they in fact equipped the
Socialist party with all the machinery
for trying Its greatest experiment In
history, the socialization of a COM
monwealth.
The Flickertail farmers are now
realizing, as the business men Of the
state have for some time, that they
have given control Of the state Of
fees, state legislature and all the ma
chinery Of government absolutely into
the hands Of q little coterie Of men
who either refuse to deny or openly
admit theat they are Socialists and
propose to run the machine for the
benefit of the Socialist party.
Farmers Opening Eyes.
The farmers are beginning to real
ixe the full signihcance Of the recent
switch Of policy by the Appeal tc
Reason, the Socialist organ, In which
all the old familiar Socialistic doc
trines were thrown in the discard and
q new deal ordered for the purpose OF
socialixing the state Of North Dakota,
taking control Of the railroads and
putting thu state in business In oom-
