He Is a. Candidate for the

made a hurried trip here last night and
went directly to the Waldorf-Astoria
where Governor-elect Herrick of Ohio
has been several days. The. two had a
long talk. This gives rise to a revival
of the rumor of Hanna's candidacy for
president. Neither would talk al
though it is understood the visit related
to the Wood fight and the Rathbone
case.

recalled that at the present time the
duties and responsibilities of an artil

fore."

INVENTED A
Larimore, Nov. 26.—Fred W. Bil
lings, who is a successful farmer in the
western part of Grand Forks County,
has recently invented and patented a
new separator.
M!r. Billings has pperated threshing
machines for thirty" years and every
year for twenty-one years in Grand
Forks County, and is a competent judge
of a good separator.
He built a new separator this sum
mer, making it in every detail after
the designs he had patented. After
the separator was in good working or
der, it proved a grand success.
He was more than pleased with it.
and is positive that it is a great im
provement over any machine now on
the market.
Mr. Billings sent diagrams and cuts
of his invention to different manufac
turers of separtors and in every in
stance received letters which indicated
considerable interest.
He spent several days in town late
ly in an endeavor to organize a joint
stock company to manufacture the
senator, and offers to invest consider
able capital himself.
The new separator is so constructed
that is is impossible to waste grain in
the straw. It does away with a number
of belts, pulleys, etc., which simplifies
the operation o£ the. separator and saves
power. It proved its speed this season
when it took eleven bundle wagons to
keep it going.

Milnor, N. D., Nov. 26.-—A shooting
affair took place here. Otis and Odin
-Blew, brothers, and O. E. Winch be
came involved in- an altercation, with
Nels Foss, village marshal, and when
^the marshal grappled with Odin Blew
the latter drew a revolver and shot
three times. The bullets struck the
marshal in the stomach, but the heavy
clothing that he wore turned them suf
ficiently so as- not to cause serious
Votmds. v
The sheriff was promptly/notified
vand
now has Odin Blew under arrest.
Both Blew and the Milnor marshal are
at Forman awaiting a hearing before
the state's attorney in justice court.
The affair grew out of trouble be
tween Mrs. O. E. WiheH ahd L. L.
Comstock in which the latter was hit
on the head by ail iron bar in the hands
of the woman," who is exceedingly mus
cular. Comstock had her arrested for
^assault and battery and she was bound
bver to district court on a $1,000 bail.
.She had some trouble in getting this
"bail and it was while she was in the
custody of the marshal that her hus
band and the Blew brothers called up
on him, the shooting affair following.
The town of Havana, in the southern
part of the county, will incorporate as

Montivedio, Minn., Nov. 26.—Joe
Scott, the negro, who last summer at
tacked Helen Olsen with an'ax, near
Watson, and who was indicted for
burglary in the first degree, assault and
robbery, was sentenced to-thirty years'
imprisonment.
Scott left Helen Olsen in a critical
condition, from which it was not ex
pected she would recover. Hie citizens
openly threatened to lynch him, and
only the utmost vigilance on the part
of the officers and their determined at
titude prevented them from carrying
out their intention.
When Sqott was captured, it was in
tended to bring him tn th* county jail
in this place. The news leaked out in
Watson, and a mob gathered at the sta
tion to wrest the prisoner from the
officers. The negro was tafc£n to Glen
coe, where he has been in the 'McLeod
County jail for safe keeping.
While interest in the ca^.runs high,
the sentence was quietly received, and

'•:v BRUTAL ASSAU]UTf
Boston, Mass., Nov. 26.-»-While sit
ting alone in ^ne,of the offices of the
Boston Note Brokerage Co., on Milk
Street today, Miss LillianGoff, 23 years
of age, a stenographer, was brutally
assaulted by a man who entered the
apartment and= struck her repeatedly on
the head and arms with a heavy iron
drill. The woman was taken to a hos
pital and is in a,serious condition. Her
assailant escaped. It was at first
thought that the assault followed a
quarrel about terms of a loan, but later,
when an investigation disclosed the
fact that $400 was missing from the of
fice safe, robbery was assigned as a
motive. After regaining consciousness
at the hospital Miss Goff gave the po
lice the name of her assailant, and they
are now searching for him:
CREATED EXCITEMENT.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 26.—Much ex
citement prevailed, but fortunately no
loss of life nor injury for any of the
audience resulted from a fire which
broke out in the Avenue Theatre, a con
tinuous yatidevillc house, this evening,
during a performance. 'The Audience
lost in time in leaving the house, but
no panic was evident, and in a very
short time all were safely on the street.
First rumors had many people killed
and hurt. Harry Davis, owner of the
theatre, places the property damage at
$15,000, caused, principally by water.
The fire originated from an explosion
of a film roll used in. the ciueomatograph
apparatus which, was being operated in
the rear of the balcony, and spread
quickly to the gallery above.

the money voted should be used and

have another election, the funds to be
usd for taking up of present outstand
ing bonds and in the construction of a
new school building on the north side.
