BACHELO LOR'S-BOD
BADLY MUTILATED
BY HUNGRY CATS

y Still, N. D., Oct. 29.-(special. -
His body badly mutilated by a colony
of pet cats which had been penned
with the corpse for four days or more
with nothing else to eat, the remains
of Peter Larson, pioneer bachelor
farmer of this eighborhood, were
found in his shack this morning by 9
Sneighbor who chanced to call on a
matter of business.
The body was half out of the bed
and partly dressed. Indications
were that Larson had been dressing
when he was seized with heart fail
;ure. The coroner's inquest disclosed
no other cause for his death. Lar
son was a great. lover of cats, and
half dozen gaunt, half-famished
felines were keeping guard over the
body when a neighbor broke in the
door this morning.
Larson was IS years old; unmar-
ried and had farmed Y miles south

GRAND FORKS NOT
SURE OF GETTING
STATE-OWNED Mill
Hagen Says Townley Gave
Only His Personal Opinion
at Fargo Mass Meeting and
Did Not Speak For Board.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 25.-Wheil
President A. G. Townley of the Ma
tiona lNonpartisan League, address
ing the league mass meeting at Far
go, intimated that as a result of Far
go's attitude in the Scandinavian
American bank matter it was to lose
the first state-owned mill and eleva-
tor to Grand Forks, he was express
ing his own personal opinion and WAS
not attempting to speak for the state
industrial commission, said John n.
Hagan, commissioner of agriculture
and labor and member of the in
dustrial commission, interviewed at
his home here this morning. Mr..
Hagan expressed the belief that the
Courier-News in reporting Mr.. TOWN.
ley's speech had laid more stress than
was warranted on his comment with
regard to the location of the first
public enterprise. w, .-z-

Mr.. Hagan. eve are not in a posi-
tion to act until !. we have obtained
more data than now is available. At
present it would be impossible for
me to say, for the commission, where
the first mill and elevator will be To-
Gated. can state positively that no
definite action has been taken. The
commission met Friday afternoon,
but it considered only routine mat
ters. l did not hear Mr.. Townley' j
address in Fargo, but as I under
stand it he undertook to express only
his own views on the subject; he did
not, l am certain, wish to convey
the impression that he spoke for the
industrial commission.
Only General Idea.
AS yet the commission has only
q general, idea Of what the first mill
and elevator will be. ( We are consi l.
ering 1,500,00o-bushel capacity ele-
vator and mill which will turn out
5000 barrels daily. In connection
We purpose to install a big power
plant, with the idea of adding COLI
storage plant later. AS to how many
men will be employed by this enter
prise l could only hazard a rough
guess. We are of the opinion, how
ever, that the original investment
will be $1,500,0O0."
Commissioner Hagan's interview is
important in that it is the first init
matio nreceived since the mass meet
ing in Fargo last Tuesday that ca
tries for the first state-owned enter
prise to be located by the league are
not closed and that the field Is still
open to all contendors, including,
presumably, Fargo.

SEVEN-YEAR-OLD
TWINS SPENT NIGHT
IN STRAW STACK

'Bowbells, N. D., Oct; 27.-The two
children of Nels T. Nelson a promi-
nent farmer living few miles west
of this city, strayed away from home
and became lost. Practically all the
citizens of Bowbells turned out to
make the search. The children wee
twins, q boy and girl, agen seven
years, were not found until morning,
having spent the night in straw
pile with the Thermometer lowering
near zero. They seemingly suffered
no ill effects from their. exposure.
About .an@hour before dark Mr..
Nelson told the children to go to y
straw pile about mile away from
the house to get some cattle that be-
longed to him. The, children had per-
formed a similar duty on several
previous occasions, so Mr.. Nelson did
not feel concerned about them until
dark, when they failed to. appear at
the house. He then went after the
cattle himself, and after finding tho
cattle, returned to HIS home, believ-
ing it possible that the children had
returned by another way. When he
discovered that they we're still miss7
ing he Immediately started looking
for them, and after q futile search
for an hdur or more called for the
assistance Of his neighbors. The
large party spent the entire night
securing the country and looking

have hidden for protection, but to no

The league plans to run Governor
F: Frazier for United States senator
against Senator A. J.. Gronna, tt is
understood. Senator Gronna has not
afiliated with any faction In the state
lately, and probably will play a lone
hand in his fight Tor reelection. The
league may run John N. Hagen, com
missioner Of agriculture and labor,
for governor, or It may put up Lieu
tenant Governor Howard Wood. 1t
is possible, tho, that Mr.. Wood will
be brot out for congress in the; sec
ond district. George M. Young, PRES
ent congressman, was elected with
league Endorsement last time, ,>but has
broken away from its dictationl by
opposing the Pl,fmb plan for the rail
roads, and is said to, be on a. G.
Townley's large and growing black
list. Hostility to Young was shown
at the Fargo meeting.

Is holding aloof. It has no lov4 for
LANCER, Hall and Kositzky. who as
PRO ognessive republicans. and. "insur-
