N~ONPARTISAN OFFICER
ARRESTED'|N MINI,

Fairmont, MIMI, Feb. 4.-The ar
rest of Joseph Gilbert, state secretary
of the National Nonpartisan league,
broke up a meeting whictshe and 9th
er speakers were conducting in Lake
field, seat of Jackson county, Wednes-
day.
Contrary to the orders of county Of
fcials, including Sheriff o. C.. Lee,
County Attorney E. H. Nicholas and
Public Safety Commissioner R. C..
Muir, Gilbert tried to have a meeting
in the yard of a livery barn after fail
ing to obtain a hall. Citizens gather
ed for the purpose of stopping the
proceedings and there wss a mild en-
counter, but the Sheriff stepped in and
arrested Gilbert on a charge of con-
Quoting an unlawful assemblage. Gil
bert gave a bond to appear for trial.
The three county officials drew up a
letter which a mailed to A. E. Bow
en-, a league official in st. Paul, and
signed by many prominent citizens of
Jackson county. The letter accuses
the Nonpartisan league of drawing to
it all pro-Germans and disloyalists in
that part Of the country. It cites the
case of Russia and Italy, where in
ternal troubles caused disaster, and
declares that if the United States is
beaten by the Central Powers, it will
not be by German bayonets, but by
a breaking down of the morale of the
people.
"Your organization is usually class
ed a sdisloyal," says the letter in sub
stance. ut matters not to us wheth.
er OF not it is backed by German in
fuence, it's work in effect is disloyal
1t foments class hatred and dissen.
sion. The great issue is the war. II
there is anything wrong with ou1
economic and political organization
the time to fix it is after peace comes
not while u country is in the thores
of war."-Devils Lake World.

THE SOLDIERS COMFORTER

When the day is over,
And night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the ocean
Sweeping Ger the sea.
Chorus.
Glory to our Father
The war we've just began,
And if we are true to Jesus
We will surely win.
Jesus gives the soldiers
Calm and sweet relief,
And when the war is over
Will bring them back in peace.
Throu the long watches
When the. sentry calls are spread
We pray thou send an Angel
To watch around our bed.
When in the morning waken
Then may we arise,
Pure and holy make us
AS thou, Jesus, in thine eyes.
Sweetest is the motto,
The thot's come back to me,
The Lord will provide forever,
For the n who spoke to me.

WALSH COUNTY BOYS
HELD FOR MURDER

Park River, N. D., Feb. 4.-Dr. Carl
o. Foss and his brother, Edwin o.
Foss of Havre, Mont, have been ar
rested, charged with murder in the
first degree. Both are sons of Hon.
Andrew N. Foss, who for a number of
years represented Walsh county in the
state legislature, and who for several
years held the Office of register of
deeds.
Particulars Of the affair are not at
hand, but the story goes that Edwin
o. Foss, aided and assisted by his
brother, DR.. Foss, made final home
stead proof upon a tract of govern
ment land in western Montana. Some
time after the proof was made, an in
vestigation was instituted by a spec
ia agent of the general land office to
ascertain if the proof was genuine
and in accordance with the truth. It
is alleged that a local postmaster in
the vicinity of the land interested him.
self in the matter, and became very
active in endeavcring to obtain evil
dence to show that the homestead
proof was fraudulent.
One day shortly afterwards the
postmaster was standing in his post
office asserting mail, when he was
suddenly and instantly killed by a bull
let fired into the Office through 3. win
dow. For some time the killing was a
a complete mystery. The postmaster
was a prominent member of a frater-
nal order which tool immediate steps
to have detectives look into the mat
ter. When detectives made their re-
ports warrants for the arrest were is
sued for the Foss brothers. We learn
that no preliminary hearing has yet
been held.
DR.. Foss, who is married to a prom
inent young lady, formerly Miss Alta
Currie, of Park River, has been en-
gagged in the practice of his profession
at Havre for some time and had &C.
quired a very extensive and lucrative
practice. Both he and his brother,
Edwin, have a vast number of friends
in Montana and North Dakota, who
sincerely hope they may be able to
prove their innocence when their cases
comes on for trial.
DR.. Foss, who is a graduate of the
Park River high school, gained a great
deal of ~notoriety a couple Of years ago
when he went to France to enter the
British army as a surgeon, and went
v e on the Inflated Lusitania, when
she was sunk by a German U-boat.
The doctor was a good swimmer and
reached the shore in safety.
