Turning then decided on a short
course to the end of all their trouble.
He lay in ambush near the jail dur

when jailer Shields came out Turn
ing opened fire, but was too excited
to take good aim. Shields jumped
behind a wagon and his assailant fail
ed to hit him with four shots, two
or three of which entered the jail
and came near hitting members of
Shields family.
Turning left the scene of his at
tempted tragedy and went to the fair
grounds where he mounted the
g~randstand and chanted the song of
death and defiance, but was finally
persuaded to go home without max
ing further trouble and was later
taken into custody and brought to
Wolf Point by Joe Culbertson. Mon
day officer C%uIbertson brought Musk
rat, Shields and Youngman from
Poplar to attend the trial.
Makes Full Confession
Here again Turning proved him
self to be a man of decision and bet
tered his standing considerably in
the eyes of the authorities when he
made a cIean-cut confession OF
everything, saying that he had fired
at Shields with the intention of Kill
ling him, his plan being that after
the jaiIer was disposed of he could
enter the Jail, kill the man who had
robbed him of his wife, kill the wo-
man who had played him false and
then take his own life. He further
told the court that if they desired to
send him up to the federal court that
he had nothing to say except that he
was ready to go. The court felt

Irish Issue

The Irish issue was argued in such
militant fashion that the crowded
committee room was in almost cor
.stant uproar. Opponents of the pro-
posal for recognition of the Irish re-
public were kept under a hail of
heckling and derision from Irish SYM
pathizers and once or twice were
called short and ugly words while
the committee chairman pounded
with his gavel and sergeants-at-arms
tussled with the crowd in an inef-
fectual effort to keep order.
The argument for the Irish recog-
milton plank was led by Frank P.
Walsh and the opposition was handl-
ed by Demerest Lloyd of Boston,
president of the loyal coalition.
Gompers Pleads for Labor.
Labor's platform was presented to
the committee by Samuel Gompers,
who declared the Republican party
had written reaction OF its banners
and that the labor vote must find
some avenue elsewhere for express
sion of it's desires.
The league of nations, another
subject threatening a convention
floor fight, was not mentioned dur
ing the days hearings, but there were
many suggestions on almost every
other political subject, prolonging
the committees deliberations in to

while in private the leaders continu-

The platform subcommittee had
not yet begun actual preparation of
the party's declaration of principles
at night and there were no surface
indications that their task has been
made any simpler by the days public
arguments or private consultations.
A momentary defeat was admins
tered the Bryan dry legions in the
full platform committee when a par
limentary battle for position on the
speakers list was decided in favor
of the vets by a vote of 81 to 25.
When the drys were forced to go
ahead Mr.. Bryan took charge of the
time allotted to that side but divid-
ed all of it among other speakers rep

church associations and other prohi-
bition organizations.
For the vets, w. Bourke Cochran
of New York, was the chief speaker
during a debate in which Mr.. Bryan
was called upon to explain his con
nections with the anti-saloon league.
He denied that he ever received com
pensation from the league except for
''fOur months of last year for certain

At this conference officials from the
Minneapolis district office of War

office at Helena were present. Also
officials of the Compensation Bureau
and the Federal Board for Vocational

vice men. All those attending this
conference desire to impress upon
ex~-service men everywhere the i'm
portance of reinstating government
insurance, which can be done any

Subcommittee Against Vets
The subcommittee of nine making
a preliminary draft of the Demo-
cratic platform rejected late Monday
night a proposal to include a wet
plank. The deliberations and vote
were in secret but it was understood
that the vote against a wet plank was
at a ratio of two to one.
After the platform subcommittee
has been in session for more than
two hours it was still working on the
language of a League of Nations
plank.
The opinion was expressed among
some sub-committe members that the
draft could not be completed before
Wednesday night at the earliest and
possibly not before Thursday morn

that shortage of help and rush Of

kept him on the job.
