Asked for statement in behalf Of
the Ward County Joint Campaign
Committee, John H. Lewis, County
Manager, said:
1--WE are disappointed in the state
results, of course, but not in Ward
county. We tried to conduct our cam
paign on a high level. There are al
ways outsiders who import regrettable
and unjustifiable methods, but the
committee in charge consistently kept
its propaganda and activities on a
high plane Of cleanliness. Mud-sling-
ing and overstatements were scrupu-
lousy avoided. We carried the county
for O'Connor, making considerably
better showing than was made at the
primaries. J Had the rest of the state
done the same, O'Connor would have
been elected.
civilian O'Leary, chairman of the
committee, deserves special praise
Fusion campaigns are always beset
with difficulties. Himself rock-rib-
bed democrat, Mr.. O'Leary earned the
confidence, respect and praise Of his
associates, republicans and democrats
alike, not only for his tireless >labor
but for his fairness to both elements
of the O'Connor supporters.
"The work Of the women, both in
the women's separate organizations
and at fusion headquarters, was above
praise 1t is a pleasure to say that
experienced campaigners report that
this work was even better than> the
mems, as indeed is indicated by the
fact that the women voters piled up
larger majorities for O'Connor than
the men.
"Please convey our thanks publicly
to the workers who were so tireless
and efficient in our cause"

washed her wound in wash basin,
as could be seen by the bloody water
in the basin. Her handkerchief, cover
ed with blood, with which she had
wiped the wound, lay near the basin.
Her glasses, which were broken by the
fall in the barn, lay in the kitchen.
A bloody wash /cloth which she had
taken out into the barn was found
near her body. She wore her house
dress and sweater when she went into
the barn.
1t is believed that Mrs. Ward COM
mitted the act at about ten o'clock
Tuesday.night. Mrs. Brottena passing
the house, saw light in the home at
about that hour. A few days ago
Mrs. Ward had long talk with Capt.
Martin of the Salvation Army, who
lives near the Ward home, She told
the Captain that she wanted to live
for her husband and son. At the time
he, thot she acted little strange, but
to her husband she had acted in her
usual manner.
Mrs. Ward was an especially fine
woman and her death has caused much
sorrow in this CITY, She had been a
resident of Minot for the past sixteen
years, coming here with her husband
and son from Crookston, Mimi, at
the time that Mr.. Ward organized the
Ward Fruit Co.. She was greatly at
tached to her home, living for her
husband and son almost exclusively.
Her son Kenneth, who left here
five months ago, to accept position
as assistant manager of the Turner
Tulsa Co., a Nash house at Tulsa,
Okla, is enroute to ,Minot and will
arrive Saturday morning.
Mrs. Wards mother, Mrs. A. j.
Vangsness and her husband will arrive
from Ada, Mimi, Friday. Funeral
arrangements will be made according
to- the wish of the mother.
I Mrs. Ward, whose maiden name was
Hannah Aiken, was born in southern
Minnesota and was AZ years of age in
December. She spent her early life in
Ada, Mimi She graduated from the
Normal school at St. Cloud, Mimi, and
taught school until she was married
to Mr.. Ward twenty-five years ago.
She is, survived by her husband and

Lundquist> Arrested Charged Witt,
Soliciting Liquor Sales

Linn Lundquist, salesman for the
Yorktown Distributing Co. Ltd, of
Yorktown, Canada was arrested by
Federal agents Tuesday and brought
before u. S. Commissioner F. c. Up
ton on a charge of soliciting liquor
sales. He was released upon filing
a cash bond in the sum of $500. His
case will be heard at the next term Of
the Federal court at Fargo. 1t seems
that Lundquist, whose firm has houses
at Estavan, Beinfait, Carnduff, Gains
boro and various other Canadian
points, travelled about the country
soliciting orders for booze and agree
ing to deliver the goods at any point
named. ONE Of his orders called for
delivery ten miles southeast of the
city. Business had been good and
he would have gotten by very nicely
had hf not solicited u. S. Commission
er F.'C, Upton and one of the Federal
agents stationed in the city. He book
ed an Order Nor 80 cases from the
Commissioner and liberal assort-
ment from the agent. ItSwas not UNI
til he, was arrested that he realized
the identity of his customers. It IS
barely possible that in the future he
willNrequire q prospective customer to
present proper letters Of introduction
before he books his order. "a

Wife of Well known Travelling Sales
man Worrying Over False Charge
of Neighbor Hangs Herself in
Loft of Garage.

Mrs. Fred Ward, wife of the we'll
known salesman for the Minot Groc-
cry Co., committed suicide in the loft
Of the garage back of the Ward home
at LOG Second St. S. w. sometime
Tuesday night. The body was found
Wednesday afternoon by Mr.. Ward on
his return from Max, N. D.
Mrs. Ward had been worrying for
several weeks because one of her
neighbors had accused her of saying
something detrimental to her char
acter. Mrs. Ward had proved conclus-
lively to the satisfaction of this neigh
Dor that this had not been true, vet
she continued to worry over the affair
and this undoubtedly caused her mind
to become temporarily unbalanced, re-
sulting in the taking OF. her own life.
Mr.. Ward left Minot iearly Monday
morning for his trip on the road and
realizing that his wife was apt to be-
come lonely and nervous, he left a
check with her, urging her to- 90 to
Ada, Mimi, for visit with her mother
in case she should care to do so. On
arriving at Max Wednesday, he feared
that his wife might need him, so he
hurried home that afternoon, whereas
usually he, does not return to the city
until the end Of the week. Walking
into his home, he could not find his
wife. He went out to the garage and
found the latch on the outside unfast-
ened, but the door was hooked from
the inside. He returned to the house
and on the dining. table found her last
message, written in tablet:
81 have never said anything
detrimental to Mrs. ----'s
character in any way. Goodbye
Fred Tand Kenneth. How /, wish
you were home. Mother and
Wardie." (Mr. Wards mother.)
Mr.. Ward realized at once that
something was wrong and hurried into
the garage. Climbing the stairs, he
discovered his wife cold in DEATH bang
ing by rope from one Of the rafters.
He attempted to take the body down,
but having no knife rushed down for
assistance. Mrs. Fuller, a nearby
neighbor, assisted him in removing
the body. Mr.. Ward notified the po-
lice department at once and the body
was removed to local undertaking es-
tablishment. A cash had been cut over
Mrs. Wards left eye and..a first it
was feared that she might have met
with foul play, but it has now been
determined that the wound was caused
by fall when she first went into the
barn and attempted to climb the stairs.
She must have been painfully injured
for she returned to the kitchen and
