want to continue, at the head Of any
farmers organization, gang Of men,
who, while enthusing US for govern
mental reform, have unjustly and
treacherously utilized our enthusiasm
to undermine our State credit, undo
important work Of the Society of
Equity and the Farmers Union, in
the interest of agriculture, and are
now promoting personal interests and
private corporations that have no par
allel in the Gold-brick history Of our
State. We urge upon the voters of
every legislative district in North Da-
kota that men be brought out regard
less of party lines as candidates for
Legislative positions, whose loyalty is
unquestioned and who are, in the
main, in sympathy with this program
and who will pledge themselves to not
be party to any "Unit Rule" or "Se-
cret Caucus" interfering with free in
dependent and separate action on all
measures in our Legislative chambers.
Likewise, men who will not vote in
favor of the Legislature taking over
or purchasing for the State any capt.
tai stock or securities or real or per-
sonal property from any individual or
corporation, except for the mainten-
ance of State Institutions, without
first submitting the proposition to the
voters Of the State for majority ap-
proval and then only on the basis of
physical valuation.
Educational Campaign.
We further urge the conducting of
educational campaigns il the way of
community discussions, bulletins and
lectures by political economists under
the auspices of some department of
our State government, developing
thought and discussions on such SUBJ
jects as Taxation, Election systems,
Forms Of Government, Management
of Public Service Utilities and Indus
tries, Marketing, Pricing and Distri-
buting Of all necessities of life, Better
ment of our Rural Schools, ETC., and
geenrally promoting agricultural in
terests.
In all our discussions of these mat
tiers, let US not be diverted from the
questions at issue by personal attacks
upon individuals or newspapers, or by
anything that does not bear upon the
measures themselves, or the proper
method of procedure in the considera-
ton of them.

for few days rest before resuning
his farming operations. He had eat
en- his supper and gone upstairs 20
change his clothing when ne was
heard to fall His wife and daughter
Hazel rushed to his side, finding him
unconscious. A physician was sum-
nloned from Mnot who worked hero
ically but his efforts were futile, as
a blood vessel in the brain had burst
and the physician knew that death
was but a matter Of short time. Tel
egrams were sent to his daughter,
Miss Myrtle Hogy, a teacher in the
schools at Bottineau, who arrived at
the bedside of the father just a few
moments before death occurred. Mr..
Hogy never regained consciousness:
Relatives in Minnesota were notified
and the funeral arrangements so tar
as we are able to learn are that the
funeral will be held at the Presbyter-
ian church in Burlington Saturday at
ternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. T. F. Gull
lixson, pastor of the First Lutheran
church of Minot officiating. The IN
torment will be at Riverside ceme-
terry, Burlington: -.
The casket will not be opened at the
church, but those desrng to view the
remains may do so at the residence
Mr.. Hogy was born in Wisconsin
August 20, 1871. He leaves wife
and two daughters, the younger girl
in high school. Mr.. Hogy's first wife
died about five years ago and ne had
been married to his present wife but
about two months.
Mr.. Hogy was member OF Mlnot
Lodge B. P. 0. Elks and the Modern
Woodmen lodge at Cyrus, Minnesota,
where he formerly resided. He had
resided at Burlington for the past
nine years and had always been lden,
titled with every movement that had
to do with the welfare Of the COM
munity. For several years he has
operated an elevator at this point and
last year formed co-partnership
with other Burlington men in big
farming deal in Montana. Many
man in this community whom Hans
Hogy has befriended will long remem-
Der him for his open-handed generos-
ity and unfailing good nature. The
people of Burlington sympathize most
deeply with the bereaved wife and
daughters in the loss of the husband
and father.

BURLINGTON TEACHER
ATTACKED BY BRUTE
Miss Birgeth Leervig, Walking Along
Lonely Road, Attacked and Insult
ed by Foreigner, Who Snatched !.
Her Purse--Escapes Pursuers

Burlington, April 27.-A daring
and dastardly assault upon a young
lady residing south of town who had
come to Burlington for the mail this
afternoon and was returning home
about five o'clock aroused the entire
community and within few minutes
after the alarm was given eight autos
filled with armed men were securing
The coulee along the Great Northern
tracks and searching every nook and
Granny wherever it was possible for a
human to find hiding place. Had the
rascal been found there would have
been no call for judge or jury as the
citizens were thoroly aroused and
would have made short shrift of the
villain. Miss Birgeth Leervig, the
handsome and accomplished niece of
John Halvorsdn, prominent farmer
living in the coulee south of the G. N.
tracks and teaching the Halvorson
school this year, had gone to Burling-
ton in the afternoon and was return
ing home about five o'clock. When
nearing the G. N. right of way she
passed man and had gone some dis
lance farther along when man

grabbed her arm, snatching her purse
from her hand and began in broken
language to insult her. She succeed
ed in escaping from the brute and
ran away screaming. Evidently her
screams frightened the wretch, for he
turned and ran to the railroad. A
freight train was passing at the time,
in fact within a space of As minutes
three freight trains passed the point,
all westward bound. The supposition
is that he climbed aboard one Of these
and succeeded in making his escape.
Miss Leervfg arrived at the Halvor-
son home and told her story and John
at once jumped into his car and came
to Burlington and gave the alarm.
The sheriff was notified and a mes
sage was sent to Des Laos, where
authorities searched the trains but
to no avail.
The search was continued turnout
the night and section gangs were IN
terviewed but no trace of the, rowdy
could be found. Except for the ter
rible fright she received Miss Leer-
Wig is none the worse for her encoun-
ter, excepting the loss of the change
in her purse, which was. around i've
dollars.
