by fair majority.
In the recall election Nestos won
over Frazier by about $500 votes.
The democrats voted for him at
that time. Stegner, the third can
didate, is making very weak
showing, still he will round up a
total of quite large number in the
state that should have gone to Mes
tOs, and which might be just enough
to insure his nomination.
The city of MinOt, according to
unofficial returns, gave Nestos a
total of 1892 votes, Baker 1872 and
Stegner 6. In the recall election,
Nestos received 2718 and Frazier
1888 in the city.
It seems practically certain that

of 1929 votes, McCumber 1889 and

m'CumBER'S Defeat FOR j. S.
Senate APPEARS PROBABLE

At the time that the Independent
goes to press, it is impossible to
give much definite news concerning
the results of Wednesdays prim-
aries.
The NestOs supporters believe
that the Governor has been n0minat-
ed with fair majority over the
N0npartisan league candidate, Bert
F.. Baker, tho they are making no
extravagant claims.
There have been too many cleo
tiOns to make an early prediction.
The towns and cities always give
the anti-league candidates large
majorities, only to be whitfield down
by the returns from the rural dis
tricts.
At the time this is written, five
o'clock Thursday afternoon, out of
approximately 10000 votes in the
state, NestOs has lead over Baker
by about $4,000. 1t is estimated
that the total vote in the state in
Wednesdays primary was about
$4,000, much lighter than in the
recall, when 213,OOO votes were cast.
The vote was much lighter in the
cities and towns, the Nestos strong
holds. If he wins, it will prove
conclusively that he has made great
gains in the rural districts. If
NestOs can hold his lead at around
10000 votes, when the first 100000

Michigan Bank Lootea--F'red Bergen
Merchant Killed

Fred Bergen, a young merchant
from Whitman, N. D., was shot and
killed by yeggs at Michigan, N. D.,
, early last Thursday morning after
they had blown the safe of the Lamb
National bank, escaping with about
$4,000 in cash. Bergen, who was in
tcrested also in store at Michigan,
had visited the store that night and it
is presumed that he was about to
start for home, when the yeggs GO
him. His body was found at six
O'Clock in the morning. The yeggs
had cut off communication with out
side points.
States Attorney Swindlund of La
kota phoned the Independent that af-
ternoon that several men were seen
travelling west that afternoon in Il
high powered car with disc wheels.
and Ward county authorities were
warned to- look out for them.
Bergen was shot thru the breast.

Single Peace Officer
During the time Mckenzie was
sheriff, Bismarck was the end of the
trail. The bad man Of the frontier,
the soldier Of the Indian countries
and the freighter from the Black
Hills mixed here and Mckenzie was
the single peace officer in the terri
tory. In addition to his work as
sheriff he sometimes carried messages
to the forts scattered throughout the
Indian country across the river.
Mr.. Mckenzie served as Republican
national committeeman from North
Dakota for many years. He number
ed among his friends and political
associates, James j. Hill, Boise Pen
rose, Murray Crane, and the present
Chief Justice Taft, the latter having
represented him in some Canadian
suits while he was member of the
law faculty at Yale university.
Headed Construction Company
Leaving business affairs in North.
Dakota, Mckenzie associated himself
with the Cook Construction company
of St. Paul, and did a large contract
ing business. He is still interested in
large ranch at Fort Yates and owns
stock in the Bismarck Water COM
pany plant.
During the last few years he has
devoted his time largely to his own
business, but always kept in close
touch with political affairs. His
knowledge Of the political leaders of
the states considered as the "North-
west," the Dakotas, Montana and
Minnesota-made him an invaluable
assistant in matters pertaining to this
territory. He took part in the deliber-
ations of the Republican national
convention that nominated Warren G.
Harding for president.
Mr.. Mckenzie started to fail in the
winter Of 1920 when he went to
Arizona for his health. He returned
to St. Paul in the fall of 1921 and was
confined to St. Joseph hospital. He
spent the winter in California, return
ing to St. Paul early in May. He had
expected to return to North Dakota

NEsTos CARRIES WARD COUNTY

Forty precincts in Ward county
give NestOs 1898 votes and Bert
~ F. Baker, nOnpartisan candidate,
1888. It is claimed that NestOs
will have a safe majority in Ward
county with all votes counted.
McCumber has lost Ward cOun-
ty to Frazier, for the U. S. Sem
ate. Forty precincts give Frazier
2.1OO votes and McCumber, 1,764.
With forty precincts of Ward
county reported and thirty mine to
hear from at five o'clock this af-
ternoon, it is practically assured
that Clarence VandenOever, deputy
sheriff, and A. S. Spicher, county
commissioner, will be the two NOM
inees for sheriff of Ward county.
Vandenoever is ahead with 955
votes and Spicher has 743 votes
out of total of forty precincts.
John J. Nedreloe, former sheriff of
Ward county has COL votes and L.
H. Avery has 6S3 votes. Chef
Jacobson, d. F. Seed and Thorwald
Hustad, the other candidates for
sheriff, may be definitely counted
cut of the race.
The same 40 precincts give M.
O. Eide 1888 votes and V. E. Stem
ersen 1882 votes for states attOr-
.ney. These two candidates will very
likely be on the ticket in the fall.
B. A. Dickinson Of Ryder has made
a good showing with SIS votes and
Halvor l.. HalvorsOn, the fourth
candidate has 602 votes.
Six of the Minot precincts have
not been officially reported and the
returns from those precincts are
not figured in the above figures.
These will give Stenersen heavy
gain over Eide.
The polls closed at 9 o'clock last
night and in six of the Wards the
sleepy clerks are still at work,
more dead than alive: In the first
ward, the clerks adjourned to the
court chambers. They will finish
some time during the night.
Mrs. Mae Goldberg has q very
very large lead over her opponents
for clerk of the district court. Thos.
Henderson, present incumbent will
have his name on the fall ticket,
Jos. Blaisdell, Jr., being in low.
place.
Alfred Mostad, county treasurer,
received big vote for his office.
Olaf eleven is second man and
both names will appear on the bal
lot in the fall.
Judge Murray, county Judge, DR..
r. w. Pence, Coroner, and E. ].
Thomas for county surveyor are
without opposition.
"A. m. Waller received about every
vote for superintendent of schools.
A general call was sent over some
Of the rural lines, asking the voters
to write in the name of Martin Sc
lander, for county superintendent,
althO he had not. filed. Scattering
votes were received enough to place
his name ON the ballot in the fall.
Selander is now employed in Me-
Henry county.
r. w. Kennard, county auditor,
was alone on the ballot, but John
Kassens name was written IN,
which will permit il tc 60 on the
ballot in the fall.
