prairie land is a deep black wax

terest of some friend, unknown
to me, but, in my judgment, Ex-
Senator M. o. Scott, I have been
receiving your paper for over a
year. While my acquaintance is
limited in your county, yet l
know l have some real friends
there and l have, for many
years held your people in the
highest esteem. While / pub

was in close touch with the peo-
pie of your county and extended
every helpful effort within the
range of my publication to en-
courage the noble aspirations and
ambitions of Metcalfe county in
every effort for public advance

Adair, Casey, Russell, Cum

Taylor counties comprised the
territory in which l felt deep
and an abiding interest for in
reality it was in this radius that

advantages and stimulating eff
fects of railroad facilities and
were dubbed backwoods counties
It was a pleasure for me to de-
fend my home and surroundings
against every insinuation of in
feriority and to extol their vir-
tues. True. they are interior
counties, away from the great
avenues of commerce and dis
tant from the large markets, and
in a sense, handicapped in many
ways, but aside from these dis
advantages it is splendid group
of counties peopled by a big
hearted, noble and upright peo-
pie with laudable ambition and
intellectual attainments the
equal of any part Of the entire
country. Valuable agricultural

LEGION BASKET SOCIAL
new OFFICERS ELECTED

The basket social given for the
benefit of the American Legion last
Tuesday evening was an immense
success, both financially and because
of the amount of fun enjoyed by
those who attended. There were a
large number of pretty baskets, and
the Legion realized S81.45 from their
sale. Fay Bartholomew acted as auc-
tioneer and much credit for the way
the baskets were run up is due him
for the clever way in which he sold
them.
The Legion also held an election of
officers at this time, and the follow
ing were elected for the coming year:
A. V. Appelgren, commander; Ru-
dolph Christensen, vice-conmander;
w. 0. Hougen, adjutant and finance
officer; Rev. Alfred Hendrickson,
chaplain and Fay Bartholomew, his
torian.

MATTHIAS HESER
FATALLY INJURED

Death, whatever that may be. made
its appearance in Burch community
and took away one of our most up
right and respected citizens, Matthias
Heser, who died Friday, Dec. 3.
His death was caused by a ledge
of dirt falling on him in coal mine
where he and his neighbors were
mining their winters coal. Frank
Kirkpatrick and Matthias Heser, Jr.,
were helping Mr.. Heser at the time,
but fortunately were not in the mine
when the accident occurred. They
immediately removed the dirt which
had covered Mr. Heser about four
feet deep. He was hastened to his
home about a mile distant where
medical aid and a priest were sum-
moned. Upon examination DR.. Tuck
ed discovered many fractures of the
lower limbs and internal injuries. He
was hurried to the hospital at Glas-
gov but passed away just before
reaching there.
Funeral services were held at
Sacred Heart church of Riverside, on
morning at ten o'clock with
Rev. Father Benedict officiating and
the interment was made in Riverside

CONTEST AGAINST
WEINRICH IS FILED
COM. J. H. ANDERSON CLAIMS
ELECTION TO SIX-YEAR
TERM-ASKS RECOUNT
DIFFERENCE IS VOTES
L. A. Brown Starts Proceeding gs-
B. K. Wheeler May Be Called
Into The Case

/
John H. Anderson, Democratic
candidate for the six-year term for
county commissioner, has filed con-
test in district court against F. A.
Weinrich, who on the face of the re-
turns was elected by majority of
1S. L. A. Brown of Froid, has been
employed by Anderson to bring this
contest and it is probable that he
will be assisted by B. K. Wheeler of
Butte. The Froid Tribune has the
following to say concerning the
bringing of the contest:
Contest proceedings were filed on
the 9th of November by John An
derson against Frank Weinrich, con-
testing Weinrichs right to the office
of county commissioner of Roosevelt
county for the six year term.
1T is alleged that in about a doz-
en- precincts over the county a lot
of votes cast for Anderson were not
counted, largely due to the fact that
said votes were cast upon the Farmer
Labor ticket, instead of upon the
Democratic ticket, and the judges of
the different precincts being under
the impression that such votes. could
not be counted. 1t will take only
votes to put Anderson into
office, as Weinrich is leading by the
of 18 now. Service of the
papers was made upon Weinrich on
the 9th, and it is thought the case
will be fought out in the very near
future, such matters taking prece-
ience over all others, and Court al
ways being in session for such mat
ters."
Republican Votes
Besides allegations concerning
votes for Anderson in the Farmer
Labor column as mentioned by the
Tribune, it is stated by several diff
'erent parties in position to know
hat in certain precincts numerous
votes were cast for J. H. Anderson
~ being written in on the blank line
provided for that purpose on the
republican ticket. In some parts
# the county Mr.. Anderson, as well
S the other Democratic candidates
or commissioner received the votes
f Republicans who voted for very
ew if any other Democrats, and
ONE appeared to prefer to vote by
7riting the name in on the Republi-
an ticket.
In some precincts the election
cards tailed all votes cast for Mr..
-nderson in one place, while in other
recincts, the boards did not consider
nat they could so count the votes,
ut counted them separately accord
lg to the tickets on which they
ere cast. This confusion doubtless
rose over the difference between
rimary nominating election and
aneral final election.
The contest and recount will be
,llowed with much interest as Mr..
nderson, if successful, will be the
lly candidate elected on the Demo
attic ticket. He ran well ahead of
other candidates and according to
returns was only six votes
ort Of his opponent. 1t was under
ood that Mr.. Weinrich's majority
as only six until the board made
e official canvass, when it was an
'unced that the difference between
lderson and Weinrich was 18.

Fine Program
The literary program last Friday
was greatly enjoyed by all. A num-
Der of visitors were present. The
Elite Club, in charge of Misses Hig
gins and Keckler deserve much cred
it. The number by Marian Walters
and Mr.. Wright was pleasant sur
prise for ALL The difficult selection
''The Swiss Boy had been memoriz-
ed by both. The fact that Marian
knew little about the cornet a year
ago makes the performance all the
more remarkable and reflects to the
credit of Mr.. Wright as an instruc-
tor. The encore was novel and drew
a hearty round of applause.
The male quartet was brought
pack time and again. The encores
became better and better. "Nuff sed."
The Jack and Jill girls delivered
heir parts in splendid fashion. Rob-
,rt cambridge gave an interesting
recitation. Erma Small's selection |
IN the piano was enjoyed.
The whole program was one of the
,est we have ever had.
The second issue of the Wolf Howl |
ppeared last week. The Editor and
taft are working hard to make this
aper success.
