HIGH CLASS CATTLE

Jim Uglum of the Box Elder
Farm of west Of town returned last
Thursday from Williston where he
spent several days in attendance at
big pure bred stock sale, at which
he purchased pure bred Shortforn
bull, and one pure bred Shorthorn
COW with a bull calf at her side.
Mr. Uglum is especially proud Of
his new bull which is without ques-
ton as high bred as any animal in
the state. His name is Ringmaster
Ivanhoe, he is eight years old, and
during the past few years had )been
used by some of the best breeders
in the vicinity Of Williston. For
two seasons he headed the herd
owned by U. L. BuFaick. His sire
was Ringmaster, the great show
bull who four times took the grand
championship at the {, International
Stock Show in Chicago. His dam
took first premium at the same
Show twice. Lee Dellage of Lig-
mite attended the same sale at Will
liston, and while there purchased
three pure, bred bulls about year
old. and one pure bred heifer, a
Jack and a Jennie, and yearling
pure bred Percheron : mare. The
stock purchased by both gentlemen
was shipped tos&Lignite and it ar
rived there last Saturday. i, e
7 While attending this sale Mr.
Uglum got very much Interested. in
a pure bred stock contest which had
Just been started among the boys of
Williams county and is sure that a
like contest would be a very good
thing in Burke county. The money
necessary for the contest was fur
nished by the Williston banks.
Each farmers son in the county
who wanted to keep a pure bred
bull for the season was given a
chance to do so. and u. L. Burdick
was appointed to buy the stock al
the sale Between 20 and 80
young bulls between one and two
years old were bought. after which
they. were Judged and the boys
drew cuts as to which animal they
were to get. At. the Judging each
animal was given place depending
on his quality: Next all the boys
will be required to return all the
animals for the next sale, and a
big prize will be awarded to the boy
who makes the best showing. Be-
fore the sale the animals will be
Judged, and the prizes awarded.
All the profit on the animals with
the exception of the interest on the
money. is given to the boy. and in
addition. to this the farm has Nthe
use of the bull for the season.
This system proves to the boys
father as well as his tneighbOrs the
big advantage of raising pure bred
stock over the scrubs, and shows
that big nrofits can be made in
raising registered animals. Mr..
Uglum is among the first farmers
in Burke county to- start raising
pure bred cattle, and he tells us
that he, doesn't know Of anything
that would prove of more value to-
the farmers of the county than a
contest Of this kind held here.

SHOOTS At LEAGUE
EDITOR At W|lL|STON

Williston, March 11.--What is
believed to have been carefully
laid plot to assassinate C. J. Knapp,
editor of The Nonpartisan Williams
County Farmers Press, was per-
petrated at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing when bullet crashed thru the
plate glass window of his Office, mar
rowly missing his head. Knapp,
ers' Press Office until after mid
night, was preparing to go home
for the night when the shot was
fired.
The ball, apparently from rifle
in the hands Of person in one of
the buildings across the street from
the newspaper office. was of small
caliber but probably from a high
power cartridge. After passing
thru the heavy plate glass window
the bullet buried itself in three
INCHES of hardwood formirc the
side of heavy filing cabinet.
No clue to the perpetrator has yet
been discovered. but deputies from
the sheriff's office are working on
the theory that the incident is an
aftermath of the highly inflamma-
tory I. V. A. speeches made here by
the Rev. Allen Birchenough and
Attorney General 1anger recently.
It is recalled that at the time of the
fighting squad" meeting here last
December Mr.. Birchenough made a
vicious attack on Mr.. Knapp, with
the result that the newspaper man
compelled the /. V. A. preacher to
admit to the entire audience that he
is not citizen of the United States,
but a British subject. This incident
almost broke I'D the gathering, a
riot. being narrowly averted as
several I. V. AS in the audience
resented Mr.. Knapp's exposure of
the citizenship of the socalled
lighting parson."
Following the attack this morn
ing Knapp declared his belief that
it is directly attributable to the
intense feeling aroused among the
more fanatical l. " A. followers by
the 7"fighting parson" and by Will
liam LANCER who delivered fren-
zied address here last month.
Threats against the editor Of The
Farmers Press have been made
frequently since the speeches.

Gus colored wench at the home Of
Rena Manning, a colored woman

Colts revolver. Reed fired shot

Reed had fred four or five shots

induced to give. himself up.
Boswell is in the city jail. States
Attorney Herigstad has. filed two
charges against Boswell, for assault
with a deadly weapon with intent
to kill. If found guilty, Boswell
may serve from one to ten years.
The Ford woman. who has been
in police court a score of times, re
turned to Minot Wednesday after
noon and was arrested on an old
charge of selling liquor. She fur
nished bail. Boswell, who is a
: former husband of the wench, ac-
companied her to Minot. The
couple were stopping at the Rena
Manning shack and it is believed
that Boswell was under the inf1u-
ence of SNOW Just what the row
was about is not known as Boswell
refuses to talk. He shot, the Ford
woman, the bullet passing thru one
of her breasts. She ran from the
shack and fell but crawled on her
hands and Knees to the home of
Oscar Webb. A doctor was called
and she was taken to local hospi-
tai where the surgeon pronounced
her case not serious.
After the shooting a negress nam-
ed Tupker phoned the police sta

went to the Manning shack and saw
Boswell run out. Reed saw the:

him dead. but was not certain that

got glimpse of the man and fired
at his head: the bullet plowing two;

fired several shots into the building
which must have come uncomfort-
ably close to the negro. He re-
fused to come out, however. fearing
that he would be killed and in this
he used excellent judgment, for the
officers would have shot him the

Special Isspatch TO THE NEw YoaK HEln-p.
NASHVILLE, Nov. S.---From unofficial
but fairly accurate reports Tennessee
was caught in the national Republican
landslide. Senator Harding apparently
has carried the State over Gov. Cox
by 10000, while Col. ALI Taylor. Re-
publican, who made the famous cam
paign known as the War OF the
Roses In 1886, has defeated Gov. Rob
erts, Democrat, by 10000 or more.
Dissatisfaction with State and ma
tional administrations is the principal
reason for the breaking Of the solid
South. The Republicans, scenting pos
siole victory, registered almost every
man OF voting age. Democrats were
displeased at Gov. Robertss new tax
law assessing all property at cash
valuation. Thousands OF farmers
either did not go TO the polls. or many
of these who did go voted for Taylor.
Another element OF discomfort and
opposition to Gov. Roberts was his ad-
vocacy OF tho suffrage ratification
amendment This undoubtedly cost
him a great many votes, especially In
middle Tennessee. where the battle was
staged.
Both negro men and women voted
heavily. especially In the cities. where
