POPULATION OF
CITY BELIEVED
BEYOND CENSUS
Registration Of Voters and Per-
sonal Property Tax Increase
Indicates Growth
WOMEN DIFFER IN POLITICS
Registration Indicates They Will
Not Follow Husbands in
All Cases Here
WOMEN DIFFER IN POLITICS

Bismarck's population is greater
than the census figure. it is indicated
in the registration and the assess
ment of people for personal property
taxes, completed by William Falconer.
Registration two years ago showed
a total of 1909 voters of which num-
ber 176 were registered as Democrats
and two from the third ward as 80
cialists. .... .. ,........
The registration by ward was as
follows: First ward, 209; second
ward, 272;. third ward, S24; fourth
ward, 2SS; fifth ward, 204; sixth ward,
217. The democrats from each ward
are, 21, 40, 80, 20, 26, and 81 respec-
lively from first to the sixth in
elusive.
The registration also indicates a
heavy vote in Bismarck, with very
light Democratic vote. A feature Of
the registration is that there are
nearly as many women registered as
men, and they are expected to poll a
heavy vote in the city for Miss Minnie
J. Nelson for state superintendent
for whom they can vote.
A registration of nearly 1900 would
indicate a population of upwards of
eight thousand. Mr.. Falconer also
added 625 names more to the personal
property assessment rolls than were
assessed last year.
Women Differ From Men
Registration Of voters for the city
shows that 1896 men have registered
and 1882 women. 1t shows 81 of the
men registered as Democrats and the
rest Republicans; of the women 145
registered as Democrats and the
others as Republicans.
Considerably more than twice as
many women as men gave their poll.
tical leanings as Democratic. Politi-
cal equanimity does not exist in about
$50 Bismarck homes.
The wards registered as follows:

Taylor was $500; when LANCER
left $14,220 had been subscribed.
Langer answered the charge
that he had sent an assistant on
state expenses to Washington to
get his brother out of the draft.
"My brother was in business in
Washington state with another
young man when the war broke
out" he said. "They talked it
over and it was decided that the
partner should enter first. My
brother later closed his business
at loss. he entered the army. he
was buck private in France, he
was in the lines in the Argonne,
. he was wounded and for twenty
four hours he lay on the battle
fields with shells and bullets
dropping about him and not
thing to eat or drink. For five
months he was in the hospital
after being carried off the battle
field That's how my brother
evaded the draft.
lney say III GERMAN anu l
am just as proud of my father
and mother who crossed the ocean
as you people are of your parents
who crossed the ocean from Nor
way. Germany, Sweden or other
countries"
LANCER then showed letters and
documents to prove that he tried
to enlist in the service or quit his
office to aid in any way and he
was told to stay on the job as
AttOrney-General.
Il ask TOwnley or any man who
believes in Townley to compare
the war record of any man named
LANCER with any man named
Townley."

n. P. STATION
AT MANDAN IS
HIT BY FIRE
Loss Estimated at SIS, 1000, Citi'
zens Hope New Station Will
be Erected

Fire gutted the Northern Pacific
depot at Mandan last night, causing
a loss estimated at $4,000.
The fire, which is believed to have
started from sparks from all engine
burned fiercely after it was discovered
about 5 p. m. until city water lines
and railroad tank lines were turned
on it.
Whether the station will be rebuilt
or whether the Northern Pacific will
erect the proposed 100000 station for
Mandan is not known. Railroad Off.
cials have established temporary Of
fees on the second floor Of the freight
depot.
The flames spread just under the
roof. making it difficult for firemen to
reach them. Holes were dug in the
roof to provide way for the water
to be turned to the parts of the roof
where the fire was burning fiercely.
The upper story and the roof of the
structure are gone. H. G. Taylor is
agent of the company at Mandan.

tiOns Continue Firing

Londonderry, June 24.-Terror held
sway here yesterday and last night.
Rifle and machine gun fire was
sweeping the streets in the most seri-
Gus fighting thus far in the conflict
which began last Friday between
unionists and nationalist forces.
The number of killed and injured
during the day had not been deter.
mined. 1t is believed, however, that
there were scores of victims. Hos
pitfalls are being packed to their ca
pacity in caring for wounded.
Gathering For Attack
Nationalist forces are said to be
gathering to the northwest of the city,
preparing for an attack, while union
ist adherents are entering the town
and are being collected for a grim
fight. Several companies of British
soldiers are on their way here from
Belfast but are making part of the
trip on foot it being feared the trains
carrying them would be wrecked.
Some troops arrived here yesterday
and British destroyer is lying north
OF the city.
The men engaged in the actual
nEnLlnS are tne contentious OF inc
contending factions and probably
number only few hundred.
Face Starvation
Bishop street, long thoroughfare,
running southwestward from the town
hall, has been the principal battle
ground during the past twenty-four
hours. Sim Fienners have concentrat-
er near St. Columbus college about
three-quarters of mile out this street
while the unionists have taken up
positions near the center of the town
and have arrested and erected breast
works. Last night the fighting became
severe for time and company Of
soldiers was sent out from the bar
racks. ,-. t.
Londonderry is facing starvation if
the fighting continues. 1t is impossi-
bic to deliver supplies to houses, and
no one dares to venture out of doors
in the business section Of town. There
is danger, too, of failure in the gas
supply. Hundreds of people have left
the city for the south.
