much worse than the left.
Dr. Stone dressed the burns and
announces that he cannot live. The
man at first refused to give his name.
He laid off yesterday and spent the
forenoon sleeping in the lodging car.
In the afternoon he sat down on a
lump of coal near the stove in the
cook car intending to do some sew
ing. He remembered nothing further
until after he received the scorching.
The stove pipe was down and he al
leges that he was burned over the
pipe hole.
Owing to Suhr's reluctance to tell
his name or give any information the
theory was formed that he had got
next to the Italians' plant and se
cured it, and that they caught him
and held him over the fire until he
gave out where he hid it.
Today when told of this theory he
still maintained that he was alone in
the car that no one held him over
a fire that he did not know how it
happened.
He further said he had been sub

though he had had none this summer.
He also stated that he had been dote

lives in a small town on the North

"The general," M. Zotti continued,

"Our legal affairs in the east are

they report to the main legal depart

Nothing, to my knowledge, has come
into the office today about the pro

have a peculiar law in Pennsylvania
concerning the examination of foods.
They start with the assumption that
the examiners should find something
wrong and of course it Is not hard for
them to do so. It simply means a

these examiners finally prove their

Denver, Col.. Oct. 12.—The most
spectacular political campaign ever
waged in Colorado is now at its height.
Ring rule and the domination of cor
porations in politics are the chief is
sues, though there are other questions
figuring in to add spice to the cam
paign.
The fireworks of the campaign and
the thing which has tended most to
raise it above the ordinary level ot
politcal contests In popular interest
is the candidacy of Judge Ben B. Llnd
sey for the governorship on an inde
pendent ticket. Judge Lindsev is pretty
well known throughout the country
as the author of the juvenile court law
in Colorado, which hns formed the
model for1 similar legislation in twen
ty-four states. He is a foe of ring
rule and talks as freely of corruption
in his own democratic party as in the
opposition party. Judge Lindsey de
sired the democratic nomination for
governor if he could secure it without
giving any pledges or promises. When
it became apparent that Senator Pat
terson and his followers were to con
trol the state convention Judge Lind
sev refused to allow his name to go
before that body.
As the campaign lias progressed it
has become evident that the independ
ent voters are rallying to the Lindsey
standard in great mini her. Lindsey is
making his campaign practically with
out money. He has no organization
and has refused to accept a single dol
lar of corporation money. If elected
Judge Lindsey will go before the leg
islature with a demand for the enact
ment of a primary election law, which
will take party machinery out. of the
hands of corporation bosses, and rid
Colorado of corporation control.
The republicans experienced much
difficulty in making up their state tick
et. The names of half a dozen party
leaders were mentioned in connection
with the gubernatorial nomination be
fore the convention met, but no one
of them was desirous of entering the
contest under existing conditions. Fin
ally, when the convention met, the
nomination went to Philip B. Stewart
a Colorado Springs lawyer. But Mr.
Stewart declined to make the race un
less William H. Gabbert, chief justice
of the supreme court, wno is running
for re-election, withdrew from the
ticket. The objection to Judge Gab
bert was based on the allegation that
he favors corporations. After Sir.
Stewart's declination the republicans
finally induced Dr. Henrv A. Ruchtel,
chancellor of the University of Den
ver, to accept the nomination.
per head. There is scarcely a grain
farmer in the valley that could not
take many of these feeders and make
a handsome profit annually. They
might as well purchase them as the
speculator and the farmer has the
advantage, because he has the stub
ble fields, the screenings, the other
feed and the weeds and the time for
feeding, and besides he does not need
to change his present system of graiin
farming.
"Some North Dakota, farmers are
iiuying the range sheep but nothing
like as many as should. A good many
sheep are being sold at this time.
Farmers of Iowa and Minnesota aj-e
purchasing many, realizing the fine
profit to be secured through feeding
them for the market. Several farm
ers of this state purchased feeders
last year and did nicely and are buv
ing more this year. There is no rea
son why the speculators should mo
nopolize this business. It ought to
be in the hands of the North Dakota
farmers."
Alva Adams, the democratic candi
date. is one of the most widelv known
men in Colorado politics. After hav
ing filled two terms in the governor's
chair he was a candidate again two
years ago. On that occasion he claimed
to have defeated James H. i'eahody,
republican. In the contest thai en
sued the supreme court unseated a
sufficient number of democrats in the
senate to give the republicans control
of that body. The senate then declared
Peabody re-elected. It. is as a result
of this turn of affairs that Adams seeks
a vindication this year. As a matter
of fact, however, Adams was desirous
of having a try for the seiatorship,
but Senator Thomas M. Patterson,
owner of two Denver newspapers and
virtually the democratic state boss,
could not see it. that way. He practi
cally forced Adams to accept the gub
ernatorial nomination and then had
plank inserted in the party platform
that effectualy puts Adams out of the
running in the senatorial contest.
The effect of the socialistic cam
paign, with William D. Haywood at the
head of the ticket, is problematical.
The socialists do not expect to elect
their candidates, but they will draw
votes from both the old parties. They
will have the strong backing of the
Western Federation of Miners a'ld oi
labor organizations in general.

Special to The Evening 'Timea.
Minot, N. D„ Oct. 12.—Robert Klix,
charged with holding up a man near

pocket book, was dismissed yesterday
afternoon.
The man was dismissed on the re
commendation of Assistant State's At
torney Joseph Denoyer, who held that

denced showed that Klix took the
pocket book from his companion and
handed it to the clerk of the Scan
dinavian hotel for safe keeping. The
clerk of the hotel refused to take it
and Klix and his companion left.
Later Klix was arrested on a charge
of taking the pocket book away from
the man again. According to the

the pocket book for safe keeping ra
ther than to defraud his companion
out of any money.
