Simon Reigstad from the south pra-
irie, arrived from Aneta, N. D.,
where he visited with an uncle. He
says the storm was severe at Aneta,
tho not nearly as much snow fell as
in Ward county. The telegraph lines
between Minot and Devils Lake are in
bad shape, he says, thousands of poles
being broken down by the snow and
severe wind.
The Northern Telephone Co. have
maintained excellent service in spite
of the storm. The day following the
storm, some of the lines were out Of
commission, but large force of men
were at work and soon reestablished
service. 1t is reported that in some
places between Minot and Berthold, in
the low spots, the poles and lines are
entirely covered with snow.
One wishing to travel east Wednes-
day might have caught train at
most any time. Nine passenger
trains stalled in this vicinity by the
storm, left Minot for the east that
afternoon.
The Northern States Power Co. is
receiving it's supply of coal from Will
ton, via the N. p. to Darlington,
thence north over the 500 main line.
The Minot-Bismarck line is still tied
up by the snow and may not be open
until the last of the week. The Bis
marck train may not go out until Sat
urday or Monday.

Twenty CATTLE
DIE AT DOUGLAS
A report from Douglas this after
noon states that about 20 cattle lost
their lives in Mondays storm, so far
as known.

George, the two-and-a half year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John Bruner Of
Drake, was brot to a Minot specialist
Saturday with a bean in his lung. The
little fellow had been playing with
beans and one of them found its way
into the passage leading to the lungs
and worked it's way into one lung.
The little fellow was taken to a Mi
not specialist where with the aid of
an X-Ray and tubes, the bean was re-
moved. This is very delicate operl
alton, but the little fellow is now re-
covering and will soon be we'll.

Monday afternoon, nurse, Miss
Catharine Hazhenzo, who lives in
Benedict, N. D., and a man by the
name of George Norberg were lost in
the blizzard out on the prairie ten
miles south Of Dogden. Miss Haz-
henzo was badly frozen in several
places. Her ears, neck, face and

spec,a, to The independent:

Special to The Independent:
The body of Charles Hutchins, the
returned soldier, who lost his life in
the storm north Of Douglas, was found
this (Friday) afternoon at 2 o'clock
by a party of men who had been
searching for the remains ever since
the storm subsidized. The body was
found near slough, miles north of
Douglas and he probably wandered
for several miles before he fell ex-
hausted. The body was found about
three miles from the farm where the
young man was employed.
The deceased was 20 years of age
and his parents reside in New York
state. He leaves 100000 war insur-
ance.
Mr.. Hutchins was in the second
Ward county draft from Douglas and
left for the war from Minot.

BODY CHARLES HU1CHINS FOUND IN SLOUGH
Gunder Olson Probably Re- Elected
Republican National Committeeman


Republican National Committeeman
! Gunder Olson, of Grafton, probably
has been reelected national commit
teeman of the Republican party for
North Dakota, although much more
complete returns will be required to
definitely announce the election re-
suit.
H. H. Perry of Glendale has been
elected national committeeman of the
Democratic party for North Dakota.
The ticket Of delegate candidates,
running with Gunder Olson, has the
best chance of success, on the face
of the available returns, with Miss
Minnie j. Nelson, Of Valley City, the
only woman on the regular Republi-
can ticket, topping the list.
In the Democratic primaries, it is
apparent on the face of available re-
turns that the convention ticket,
headed by Mr.. Perry as the commit
teeman candidate, has defeated the
group of candidates running with the
endorsement of the Nonpartisan
league.
The outcome of the vote on the four
'tblue laws" is not known at this time.
The repeal of the blue laws would
provide for the sale of cigarettes,
legalized Sunday base ball, and the
aters and legalizing boxing.
The outcome Of the vote on the four
constitutional amendments is also un-.
certain.
The four amendments propose the
establishment of the recall Of public
officers, the reduction of residence
qualifications for electors, permitting
cities to mortgage revenue producing
public utilities, and permitting the
cultivation of state-owned coal lands.

Denmark township, Ward coun-
ty, did not get around to vote
on Tuesday, on account Of a fierce
. storm raging all day long, but
nothing daunted, they held an
election the day following, March
; 17th.> The returns have been
received by County Auditor Ken
nard but it is not likely that they
! will be counted. Mr.. Kennard
says that very few of the coun-
; try precincts held elections on
March 16. They cannot partici-
pate in the presidential primary
. at all, but the law provides that
they may hold their township
) elections by twelve freeholders
; getting together and posting no
; tices in three places in the town
ship, ten days in advance. The
; rural precincts that have already
; sent in their returns are Surrey,
) Township 154-82, Carpio town
: ship, Spencer and Tolgen. The
) vote on repeating the blue laws
appeared to have carried in the
