FANATIC at
TEMPTS TO MURDER
Thought That Vicious Act Was In
spired By the Recent Frenzied and
Fanatical Speeches Delivered at Will
liston by Bill LANCER and Rev. Bir-
chenough.

Williston, March 15.-An unknown
person shot at C. J. Knapp, editor of
the Williams County Farmers Press
cary this morning. The ball, appar-
emily from a rifle in the hands Of a
person in one of the buildings across
the street from the newspaper Office,
was Of small caliber but probably
from a high power cartridge. After
passing through the heavy plate glass
window the bullet buried itself in
three inches of hardwood forming the
side of heavy filing cabinet.
Officials who are working on the
case attribute the attempt on Mr..
Knapp's life to a fanatic, excited by
the inflammatory speeches Of the I.
V. A. campaigners who visited Willis
ton recently. Rev. Allen Birchenough
made a vicious attack on the farmer
editor in the course of his address.
Rev. Birchenough is sensitive because
Mr.. Knapp forced him to admit to his
audience that he is not a, citizen of
the United States but a British sub
ject. Some of the auditors resented
Birchenopgh's attempt to prove Leag
uers unAmerican when he himself is
not an American. Bill LANCER also
made one of his frenIed addresses.
Threats against the editor of the
Farmers Press have been made fire.
quently since the speeches.

Grazing Fees For
the Coming Season

The grazing fees for the present
wear on the Fort Peck reservation
will be $500 per head for horses and
cattle, 4Oc for dry sheep and Coo for
ewes with lambs. This means sea-
son grazing only and does not provide
for winter quarters or winter grazing.
The sheep men have all agreed to
this and it does not matter whether
or not the cattle and horse men agree
to it because very few of them pay
until they are sued no matter what
the grazing fee. There is now twen-
ty cases in the Federal court and the
officials expect to secure judgment on
them sometime this month.
No grazing permit is given to any
one on the reservation unless they
agree to herd the cattle, or put them
in pasture.
