Tom Gardner, Early
Bottineau Sheriff,
Dead at Dayton, Ohio

Bottineau. n. d.. Feb. 4.-Tom
Gardner, of the early sheriffs of
Bottineau county. died recently at his
home in Dayton. O.. where he had
resided for years. Mr.. Gardner was
sheriff Of Bottineau county sixteen
years ago. at the time that Willie
Ross. a Minot lad, was hanged for the
City farmer. Ross had shot Walsh as
he lay on his bed in a humble abode,
the rays of the moor furnishing the
only light. The first bullet merely
tore the skin across the mans ston1-
ach and as he jumped from his bed,
the degenerate shot him dead.
Ross was arrested with Walsh's
team near Towner and taken to Bot
tineau, where he confessed to Father
Turcotte. He embraced the Catholic
faith. and told the Father also Of an
Gated. that of assisting Carl Hanson,
also n Minot youth, to kill Napoleon
lie May in a lonely, deserted ranch
barn south Of Tagus. a yea previous.
Judge Murray of Minot was notified
and according to the description OF
the place given by Ross. he located
the old we'll, where LeMay's body had
been thrown. and the body was
brought to Minot. Hanson was ar
rested and tried before Judge Coran
in Minot. He denied he fired the
shot. but says he was present when
Ross killed lie May. Ross maintained
his story to the last. and when Judge
Murray adjusted sthe black cap w
Ross's ace as he stood on the seat
fold at Rottineau. a second or two
before taking his plunge into eternity.
the Judge asked: willie. who killed
10 Mayo" and as Sheriff Gardner
prerarcd to srrine the trap. Ross last
words were. Carl Hanson"

Will Control tho House.
+ There is little reason to expect
that the league will not control the
house. 1t lost only a few members
there. Everson Of the 18th revolted
early in the last regular session, as
did G. A. Reishus of Ward and tho
late l.. D. Wiley of Odense. NJ. S.
Lang of Morton. elected as q Lacquer,
has been more or less regular. The
few defections from league ranks in
the house were Of little importance
so far as their bearing on the success
OF league legislation was concerned,
and it is believed the leagues ma
jority will not be greatly reduced.
Recent developments in the chain
store scheme through which Townley
has collected $3.50, 900 from farmers
in the northern part of the state, may
ALLEVIATE to a large degree the Equity,
Farmers union and Grange support
which the league has had heretofore.
Many members Of these societies are
also members Of the league Their re-
bellion would cut the league strength
OF 10000 down to a dangerously mar
ROW margin. In the last general cleo
ton 10000 votes were cast for gov
ernor and while Frazier received more
than $4,000 of them. they were not
all league votes by n means.

N. D. FIRE LOSS
Since APRIL l
Marmarth Fire Was the
Only One Exceeding
500, 900.

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. 4.-While
North Dakota suffered but one blaze
from the date war was declared on
Germany, April ], 1917. to January
81, 1918. in which the loss was more
100000, d~epredations OF the
nre 1end in this state during that
period cost s1,389.777. according to
a report which Fire Marshal II. j.
.Readc wired Washington today in re-
ton signal equipment division for fire
damage statistics covering the dura-
ton of the war to date.
The only fire in which the estimat-
ed loss exceeded 100000 was the
disastrous conflagration which swept
over a large portion Of the Marnarth
business district about ten days ago.
From April !, 1917. however, fires
have been reported to Mr.. Reade,
aged or endangered grain elevators
and other properties in which food
was stored. Some of them, it is be-
lieved, were incendiary.

Fire Marshal Readc is once more
mailing out circulars urging mills,
elevators, grain warehouses and fac
tories To pay particular attention to
the employment of experienced
watchmen. He calls attention to an
experience in Cleveland. Ohio. where
three agents of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters. unobserved by
the watchmen. entered one of the
great elevators on Lake Erie. spent
six hours in the building and made

contrary he took immediate steps to

The defense sought to show that
the character of Wetzstein was not of
the best. aftidavits being introduced to
show that he had been sent to A re-
form school when but IA years old for
burglary. On the other hand. the
state showed that Lehman had been
confronted with the charge of stealing
stock and had settled for same. The
defense tried to bring before the jury
Lehman pursued Wetzstein from the

day of the. murder, because he
thought the latter was running to the
house to ecure a gun The state con-
tended hat lehman followed him
into the house, firing at the fleeing
man. Mrs. Dasling, mother-in-law OF
the murdered man, swore that Wetz-
stein ran into the house to escape
lehman and not to secure a weapon
The murder Of Wetzstein was the
result of jealousy between the two
men over Wetzstein's wife. who was at

shaw CUSTER
FIGHT IS ON
Supreme Court Decision
May Reopen Removal
Proceedings.

Minot, n. D.. Feb. 4.-The Shaw
custer fight is on again as a result of
a three to two opinion of the supreme
court handed down, which atfirnls the
decision of Judge Cole of Fargo in
district court denying Mayor W.. S.
Shaw of Mfnot a writ OF prohibition
which would prevent Governor
Nrazier from depriving the Magic City
chief executive of his job, on charges
not vice raids.
Custer proceedings against, Shaw
were commenced by Governor Frazier
months ago, and l.. j.. Wehc of Devils
Lake was named referee to take evil
dence in the hearings. Shaw then
filed a petition in the district court of
Ward county for u write of prohibi-
ton, alleging that the North Dakota
statutes providing for the removal Of
municipal officers by the governor X
pressly except the president of a city
commission, who. Shaw claimed, can
not be held to be the same as the
mayor of a city.
Judge Cole denied the writ, and
Shaw appealed to the supreme court,
where the case was argued some time
ago, Judge f. E. Goss appearing for
the petitioner and appellant. Judge
Goss argued that the governor had no
authority whatsoever over the presi-
dent of a city commission. and that
the police powers of the chief Of u
city commission were not the same as
those Of the mayor of a city operating
under the council plan; and that
President Shaw could lot be held re-
sponsible for the shortcomings of the
Minot police department to the same
extent in which such responsibility
might apply had he been mayor.
The state argued that the president
of a city commission and a mayor are
as one, under the law. and that the act
giving the governor power to remove
for cause applied with equal force to
either. Unless a petition for rehear-
ing is filed. it is expected that Ref
erree Wehenwill begin the taking of
testimony in the custer proceedings in
the near future

One thing you should. remember.
stuart's Calcium WATERS are con-
%tinuous in action. They work con-
stantly in the blood. Their infu-
ence is mainly in the skin. Here
they assist to neutralize impurities,
convert them SO they pass off as in
visible vapor. The skin now becomes
clear. pimples dry and flake off, boils
cease. blackheads are gone, yellow
muddiness disappears and you soon
have the complexion that people talk
about. No creans lotions. bleaches
