worked on the farm and with his
father at millwright and carpenter
work, also worked in the lumbering
woods and on the river. While work
ing as a millwright he invented a
valuable improvement in grain clean

used in the mills of the country and
was the subject of considerable
litigation between the inventor and
the millers.

Pillsbury, Minnesota, and in 1877
was elected register of deeds of
Todd County, Minnesota, and held
the office four years. In January,

county, and has been one of its
officers ever since. Mr. Lee repre
sented Todd county in the legisla
ture of 1885, 1887 and 1893, being
speaker of the house during the
session of 1893. In 1894 he was
appointed superintendent of the
Minnesota state reformatory at St.
Cloud, which position he filled for
two years. He was appointed by
Gov. Van Sant one of the first mem
bers of the state board of control
and served upon that board about
two years, he also served one term
on the state normal school board
and has been four years on the
State Fair board. He is president
of the First National Bank of

Itasca County Returns.
Grand Rapids, Nov* 5.(Special
to Pioneer.)In the contest for the
judgship in this county, the returns
which have been received up to a
late hour last night indicate that
Wright would Itasca county
by a small majority.
In thirty precincts out of fifty of
Itasca county Wright gets 1100 and
Stanton 860, giving Wright &
majority of 240, where it was sup
posed he would at least double that
vote.
It is expected that the balance of
the county (many small outlying
precincts) will all run about
thethe
same proportion, giving Wright a
a majority (estimated) of 300 or a
little more than that number.
Prior to t| ejection claims had
been made $ Mr. Wright and A.James
L. Timing that Wright would carry
Itasca county by from 600 to 700
votes.
Returns at this time indicate that
their estimates are decidedly unre
liable.
In theFirst Commissioner district,
Mi King won over F. W. Magnu
son and J. D. McDonald by a good
majority.
In the Second Commissioner
district, O'Brien won for commis
sioner against William Welte, by
about 100 majority.
In the Fourth Commissioner dis
trict, Niel Mullins defeated James
Passard by a majority of seventeen.
For connty attorney, F. F. Price
leads over E. H. Bither by almost
200 majority.
With thirty out of fifty precincts
in, T. T. Riley of Nashwauk leads
George Riddell of Grand Rapids
by fifty-four for sheriff.
H. S. Huson will be re-elected
Drobate judge by a good majority.
THEY KILL DUCKS WITH
CLUBS IN DES MOINES
W. C. Church Sends Clipping Giving
Account of Original Method of
Killing Feathered Game.
W. C. Church, president of the
Church Lumber company of Des
Moines, Iowa, a gentleman who is
well known in this city, and whose
reputation for truth and veracity is
unquestioned, sends to his friends
here a clipping, taken from a Desthose
Moines paper, in which that thor
oughly reliable publication tells of
ducks and geese being killed with
clubs in the main streets of Desfor
Moines, as follows:
"Nothing more unusual was ever
witnessed in the city of Des Moines
than the killing of many ducks and
geese during the flight of Sunday
night with ordinary clubs picked up
in the streets.
"Bert Parrish and Dave Schoon
over, who live near West Sixeeenth
street, got an even dozen birds
which were flying so low that they
became entangled in telephone and
electric wires. As the ducks fell to
the ground they were beaten to
death with clubs.
"Kerry Wilson, Eighth and Forest,
got one goose and two ducks in the
same manner. One of the birds was
fluttering in a mud puddle when Mr.
Wilson attacked it. A number of
boys in North Des Moines "got in"
on the slaughter and many families
enjoyed roast duck for dinner today.
"Old sportsmen say this is some
thing that has never happened in
the city before."
OHIO GOES STRONG FOR TAFT
But Harmon, Dem., Is EUcted Gover
nor of Stat*.
Cincinnati, Nov. 5 By not less than
0,000 plurality William Taft, Re
publican candidate for president, was
given the vote of his native state For
governor Judson Harmon, Dfm, de
feated Harris, Rep, by about 10,000.
The Democrats gained in the con
gressional delegation, securing one of
the Cincinnati congressmen, although
Nicholas Longworth, Rep, won in his
district In the Third district a fac
tional fight among the Republicans
aided in the election of the Demo
cratic candidate
In the next legislature, which elects
a successor to United States Senator
Foraker, the Democrats have made
some gains
INDIANA SPLITS ON
STATE AND NATION
raft Gets Electoral Vote, but
Democrats Elect Governor.
Indianapolis, Nov. 5.For the first
time since Thomas A. Hendricks was
elected governor on the Democratic
state ticket and U. S. Grant received
the electoral vote of the state for the
Republican national ticket Indiana has
given a plurality to the Republican
candidate for president and at the
same time elected the Democratic
candidate for governor. According to
the latest estimate Mr. Taft received
a plurality of about 15,000 and Thom
as R. Marshall was victorious over
Tames E Watson, Republican candi
date for governor, by about 8,000.
The congressional representation
from this state will probably be seven
Democrats and six Republicans.
The legislature is in doubt. Marion
county, with its twelve members of
the legislature, went heavily Demo
cratic for the county ticket and car
ried down with it the Republican leg
islative candidates and possibly Con
gressman Jesse Overstreet. One
ofestimated
the Republican leaders conceded that
lawmaking body is very close, but
he adhered to the opinion that the
lead the Republicans have in the sev
enteen holdover senators will save It
to the Republicans on joint ballot and
insure the re-election of Senator
A. Hemenway,.
Wyoming Conceded to Taft.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 5.Complete
returns from lght out of thirteen
counties in Wyoming give Taft a plu
rality of 2,760. ^Democratic State
Chairman Stiiokney concedes the state
to taft by 5,000.

TWO STATES IN DOUBT
Bryan May Secure Maryland
and West Virginia.
SEVERAL OTHERS SPLIT VOTE
FavorTaftfor President, but Elect
Democratic Governors.
New York, Nov 5While the elec
tion of William H. Taft as president
by a large majority of the electoral
vote is an absolute certainty, the re
sult is so close in Maryland and West
Virginia as to center attention upon
states The latest returns indi
cate that Bryan has carried West Vir
ginia and Maryland by small plurali
ties.
Of the national figures in the field
governor Hughes was elected in
New York state, Johnson in Minnesota
aud Harmon Ohio
The returns showed also that Bryan
had won over his own state of Nebras
ka. Although Taft carried Indiana,
Ohio and probably Montana all three
of those states appear to have elected
Democratic governors, Judge Harmon
apparently winning in Ohio and Thom
as R. Marshall in Indiana
On the other hand, while Bryan car
ried Missouri by a safe margin the
election of Herbert S Hadley, the Re
publican candidate for governor, is in
dicated
The uncertainty also extends to sev
eral of the ^legislatures, which will
choose United States senators to fill
vacancies caused by expiration of
terms, of which there are thirty-one.
Lat advices indicate that Montana,
up to now listed in the Bryan column,
has given Taft a plurality This would
apparently give Taft 294 electoral
votes, and with the possible addition
of West Virginia seven more
