and other places went on as usual. Har-
riS was buried in negro cemetery and
his coffin was covered with concrete so
that the corpse could not be exhumed,
though for what purpose it could he want
ed is not clear-unlcSs for exhibition
purposes.
In past centuries it was the custom to
have malefactors executed in the public
square. The theory was that the spec
tacle of this drastic punishment of abhor
rent crimes would act as a warning and
deterrent, and therefore was a valuable
thing for the public to witness.

Women stood for hours with men in the
cold that preceded the sunrise hour set
for the event. Spectators who occupied
the grandStand seats in the garage were
comfortable Their two dollars, or free
tickets, whichever they had, provided them
with more creature comforts than were
afforded the persons - the death en-
closure and the streets.
The hanging was soon over-seventeen
minutes sufficed, the same length of time
as was required for a jury to find Harris
guilty-and then business at the garage

the garage on one of the two-dollar re-
served seats.
II is believed to have been the only
hanging in this county which women at
tended. Mrs Clarence w. Bryant, the
Negroes victim, did not attend the execu-

fusion of the occasion.
II remained, however, for the year 1928
to furnish the biggest spectacle of this
kind In Sofia, Bulgaria, more than 50,7
900 spectators were permitted to witness
the hanging of three men condemned forI
dynamiting the Sofia Cathedral, an act
which cost 100 lives For the first time in
the history of Bulgaria, grandstands were
erected to give the wealthy, the socially
prominent and the officially powerful a.

COMPLETE FLIP.
TICKET Is FILED
IN NORTH DAKOTA

Especial to The Producers News)
Bismarck, N. D.-Saturday, MAY
80, was the last day for filing candi-
dates in North Dakota to be voted on
at the primary election, June 80. The
farmer-labor party in the state has
the following candidates:
William Lemke, U. S. senator:
Ralph ngerson, governor; d. l. Todd.
commissioner of agriculture; C. W.
Relchert, congress I'd district; Don
aid c. Macdonald, congress 1st dis-
trlct; Allen MeManus, state auditor:
Charley G. Johnson, secretary of
state.
Relchert's petition was not filed
but 1t Is understood that he will run
on stickers along with the rest of
the farmer-labor men. There are
three candidates, as far as is known
now, for U. S. senator, namely: Ger
aid T. Nye, non-partisan Lacquer, L.
b. Hanna, oldtime stalwart republi-
can and G. P. Stone, a wet" ean6-
date. All three are republicans but
they run without party designation.
For governor there are: A. G. Sorlie,
incumbent; j. NJ. Hanley, the l. Y. A.
candidate and ]. A. McGovern, non
partisan league and former manager
OF the State Mill and Elevator Asso-
citation.
May Defeat Nye.
1t is quite probable that both Nve
and Sorlie will have rough sailing
and their defeat is not unlikely.
Stone will get some league votes and
so will McGovem, and owing to the
usually close vote in an election in
North Dakota enough votes may be
uttered away from Nye and Sorlie
to defeat them.
FL. Lays Low.
The farmer-labOr candidates are
not putting on an active campaign
before the primaries for fear of
alternating" league support later
on. They feel that both Nye and
SOrlie will be eliminated in the
primaries, giving them an open
road against the reactiOnary candi-
dates IN the fall election. Whether
they put on an active campaign or
not, chances are that they win get
the blame anyhow in the event Nye
and SOrlie are defeated.

LIQUOR RUNNER SUSPECT SHOT BY
PATROL OFFICER NEAR SWEETCRASS
Riot Gun Load Hits Clarence Goethe in Back When He Fl
to Halt Beer Laden Car-U. S. Department Men Order
ed to Shoot to Kill" to Stop Smuggling Across Cana
dian Border.

Clarence Goethe, of Lewistown, al.
legged beer runner, was shot and dan
gerously wounded at midnight We'd
nesday by A ]. Bruner, an immigra-
ton officer in the border patrol main
tanned at Sweetgrass by the federal
immigration department, when he
failed to stop his automobile after
having been tagged by Bruner and
y. Bowen, another immigration officer
according TO word received here last
week. The shooting took place three
and one-half miles east of Sweetgrass
and two miles south Of the Canadian
boundary.
Ed Smith of Kelvin, also known as
"Mustache" Smith, was in the car
with Goethe but escaped without in
jury. He is held inthe Toole county
jail at Shelby awaiting a hearing.
Goethe was shot in the back with a
riot gun as he drove away from the
officer. The charge entered his BODY
one bullet penetrating his lungs and
emerging through his neck. He drove
200 yards after he was shot and was
Immediately taken to Sweetgrass for
medical attention by the officers.
Condition is Critical
GOettle'S condition is regarded as
critical, but reports from Sweetgrass
Friday were that he has a chance to
recover. Conflicting reports were re-
ceived as to his version of the shoot
ing. In one he was quoted as saying
that the officer wore no uniform and
he thought that he was being held I'D
and in the other he is said to have
claimed that he was driving 40 miles
an hour and could not stop. Eighteen
sacks of Canadian beer were found in
his car according to Sweetgrass citi-
ZenS.
Another beer laden car. owned and
driven by a Great Falls man, was
following behind Goethe and sped to
safety while the Goethe car was be
ing stopped. This machine, driving
madly in the dark ran into a gravel
pit a short distance from the scene
of the shooting and remained there
until early Thursday morning. 1t
then was helped Out of the pit and i'm
mediately left for Great Falls. Two
shots were fired at this car but is is
not known whether it was hit.
The story if the shooting received I
here was that Goethe was first flag /
ged by officer Bowen, who was wear I
ing uniform, was stationed some
200 yards from Bruner. Bowen at
tempted to halt the speeding car and .
when it failed to stop emptied his re-
volver at the machine without hitting
l. When the car came up to Bruner
200 yards farther on he in turn flag
Qed it and fired when it confined on
its way. 1t is understood that he
shot four times at the car, one charge
hitting the driver and another the
rear of the machine.
Bowen and Bruner are two of five
officers who have formed +
a border patrol near Sweetgrass for
several weeks. They are declared to +
be operating under orders from the
department to halt
across the international II
boundary in their territory and to ac-

VIGGO PETERSEN
BECOMES MANAGER
OF FARMERS ELEV
Resigns Position With Producers
News to Accept Position With
Company in PlentywOOd.

NlggO Petersen resigned his posi-
ton as Cashier and Advertising man
at the Office of the Producers News
last week and accepted the manager
ship of the Farmers Elevator at Plen-
tywood. Mr.. Petersen has been with
the Producers News for a period of
one year during which time he made
many friends amongst the business
men of the town. While standing for
the complete overthrow of capitalism.
Mr.. Petersen was universally popu-
lar even with his political enemies be-
cause of his affable disposition and
his tact and diplomacy. He is a
good accountant and succeeded in
installing a system of bookkeeping
IN the Office Of the Producers News
which other papers in nearby coun-
ties use as a model. While Mr.. Pet
ersen was more of a business man
and diplomat who had his ear ALWAYS
to the ground on political matters,
he was also a good special article
writer. He wrote one article on the
system of exploitation used by some
of the line elevators, which caused a
at the time and was widely
copied all over the country.
Mr.. Petersen was formerly a mem
Der of the Reserve Community Club
and deputy in Sheriff Salisbury's Of
fee. He has a host of friends who
wish him success in his new under
taking.

.SCOBEY MAN KILLED
In AUTO ACCIDENT

While returning from a dance al
Peerless, Sunday morning, Morris
Peterson, commonly known as Morris
SimOnson, was fatally injured when
he was thrown from a Ford touring
car in which he an Inger Farestad
were driving to Scobey. The accident
occurred at about 4:30 just west of
the Gilchrist schoolhouse, about four
teen miles west of Scobey. The IN
jured man was rushed to the Dahl
quist hospital here, but as it was
found that he had a fracture at the
base of the skull, the physician pro-
nounced the injury fatal. The young
man, 10 years Of age, died about $3.50
Sunday morning.
According to those present at the
time, and also according to the story
of Inger Farestad they had gone to
Peerless to attend a dance on Satur-
day evening and on the way there
had a puncture. When the tire was
being replaced one Of the Tugs would
not go on and they decided to have it
fixed in Peerless.
They failed to do this, however,
and while returning to Scobey, short
ly after four o'clock Sunday morning,
the tire dashed off the right front
wheel just west of the school house.
This was presumably caused by
striking a bump in the road a glanc-
ing blow and the result was a broken
wheel, the car turning over several
times after leaving the road. Young
Peterson was said to have been sit
ting IN the rear seat and was thrown
clear Of the car, striking on his head
against the side of the ditch, practi-
cally breaking his neck He was
knocked unconscious and never came
to before he died.
Inger Farestad was dazed by the
tragic accident and could not give a
clear account of what had happened.
He said it happened so quickly that
it was practically over before he re-
allied what had happened. He was
not injured beyond a few Scratches,
and had succeeded in extracting
Peterson's legs from under the car as
another car came up and between
hem they were able to get the Ford
righted.
The unfortunate victim if the acct
dent was well known here, being the
son of Mrs. Simonson, living south of
town. Funeral services were held
Monday afternoon, interment being
IN the local cemetery.
