NEGRO WHO SHOT W0hAN1 10JAlLF0R 75DAYS

Freeman Boswell, colored, who shot
"Jackie" Ford, colored woman, thru
the breast, entered a plea of guilty
before Judge Leighton Monday after
noon and received sentence Of sew
enty-five days in the county Jail. His
attorney, Dudley L. Nash, concluded
arrangements for his client to plead
guilty.
The fact that Boswell was under the
influence of liquor at the time of the
shooting, had good deal to do with
his receiving such light sentence.
The woman was painfully tho not
seriously injured. The couple had
some sort Of an argument over a love
affair. It is claimed that Boswell had
paid attention to some other woman
adm when he wanted to come back to
his former love, the negress spurned
his attentions, which led to the shoot
ing.
In making the arrest, Boswell fired
once or twice at Officer John Reed,
but it appears that in Minot there is
an open season on policemen, so this
charge was not filed against him. Reed
made it rather uncomfortable for Bos-
we'll, before making the arrest, shoot
ing a hole thru the negro's cap.

20 FEUD1STS TAKEN
Russians in Wilton, N. ID. Battle
Sheriff and States Attorney
End Fight.

Wilton, N. D., March %. = Long
standing feuds between two divisions
of Wilton's Russian population ended
in a justice court session which meted
out stiff fines for dozen or more Of
tenders, while one of the ringleaders
who shot a personal enemy, was held
to answer to the district court.
No cne is able to make out just
what the grievances are. The trou-
BILE started when one Of Wilton's two
Greek Catholic churches was practic-
ally destroyed by fire, which the con-
gregation insisted was incendiary
Then someone used the dome of the
rival Greek Catholic church for tar
get and greatly marred its beauty
with rifle balls.
After that the fighting became gen
eral AS a rule, stones and sticks
were the only missiles, but last week
gunplay entered into the fracas. The
states attorney and sheriff came down
from Washburn and made a roundup
of 20 alleged rioters.

ENGLUND LIBEL
SUIT SETTLED

Kenmare, N. D., March 24.-The
libel suit, in which he asked $4,000
damages brought by j. A: Englund
former state senator Of this district:
against A. c. Townley, president Of
the Nonpartisan league, and J. w.
Brinton, w. R. Wyatt, L. H. Avery,
w. B. Mclaughlin, John Weinberger,
John E. Fleckten and C. H. Gordon,
has been. settled out Of court.
The settlement is victory for
Senator Englund, in that it involves
virtual admission on the part of the
defendants that they had libeled him.
Senator Englund was bitterly as.
sailed by Townley, Brinton and
others in 1917, when he refused to
support H. B. "a, famous Nonpar-
tisan league measure of that session,
and the charges made against Sena-
tor Englund in a public meeting
Kenmare formed the basis for the
libel suit. Townley and Brinton un-
de1took to have the suit dismissed by
interposing demurrer, but this was
overruled, and the case was due to be
tried at an early day when the settle
ment was effected at the instance of
attorneys for the defendants.

vided my platform of principles
proves to be satisfactory to both or
ganizations.
Cites Former Pledge
Three years ago, when candidate
for attorney general, publicly pledg-
ed my best efforts to serve all the
people of the state. That pledge l
have kept. l have been the attorney
general for all the people, and have
not permitted myself to become the
chattel, rubber stamp, plaything or
tool of A. C.. Townley or any other
political boss.
~ have honestly used my utmost
endeavor to carry out the platform
upon which was elected. On the
other hand, Townley has made no
honest effort to carry out that pro-
gram, but has acted at all times from
selfish motives and has built up a
personal political machine which is
controlled by him, and which not only
extends to the newspapers and banks
which he has organized, but reaches
into every legislative hall of the state,
ana even controls many state OFFICIALS.
TOwnley is Criticized
"The time has come for the people
of. the state to decide whether the
seat of the government of North Da-
kota shall be brought back to Bis
marck from St. Paul, and whether the
people or Townley shall rule. The
people must decide whether state Of
fetal under a solemn oath TO serve
the people must be the abject tool of
Townley or be sacrificed.
"More than a year ago l dedicated
myself to the defeat of Townley and
his ring of imported politicians. My
tours through the state and the petit
ton of thousands of farmers and 9TH
ers have convinced me that the fight
can best be continued by my becom-
ing a candidate for governor at this
time"

DIR. CHARLES w. ELIOT
HAS 86TH BIRTHDAY
Harvard's President Emeritus Enjoys
Good Health and Goes About His
Work with Vigor

Cambridge, Mass, March 3O.-Dr
Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard, spent his eighty-sixth
birthday today quietly at his home
in Fresh Pond Parkway. He has been
remaining indoors much of late, hav-
ing suffered from a cold. He has en-
tirely recovered, however, and went
about his work today with his accus-
tened vigor.
In the evening his son. the Rev.
Samuel A. Eliot, and his grandchil-
dren gathered at the Eliot home for
dinner and chat afterward Con-
gratulatory kilograms and letters
were received during the day. Mrs.
Eliot also is we'll and this added to
the doctors enjoyment of his birth
day.
While it has been ten years since
Mr.. Eliot retired as President of the
university which grew great under
his supervision, he has by no means
been AMI idle man. His work in the
literary field during the last ten years
has been sufficient to alone make a
name for him, and while he has guard
ed his health he has done much pub
lie speaking and been active in COM
ment on the worlds momentous prob
lens.
Only few days ago DR.. Eliot gave
an interesting talk of the early days
of Harvard Square, when old Cam
bridge was hardly more than village
and gave evidence of being a young
old man with vigor that would be
creditable to one many years his jun
ior.
