ON THE BALLOT
PROGRESSIVES AND SOCIALISTS
HAVE QUALIFIED FOR THE
SQUARE
Progressives and socialists liave
both been successful in securing of
flcial recognition from the state or
North Dakota and in the election
two years from now each party
will be accorded- a place on the bal
lot similar to that h. .d jy the dem
ocrats and republicans, the- cross at
the top of the column, alio.ving the
voters to "vote her straight," being
the only addition that will be made
to the ballot as printed this year.
Under the terms of the North Da
kota lawv governing the form of bal
lots, no party is permitted to have
a- full column on. the bal'.ot unless
it casts at least five per cent of the
total vote cast in the state for the
position of secretary of state.
In the recent election the social
ists and the progressives have both
qualified under that provision. Al
though^ the socialists have had lull
state tickets several years, it is
the first time that they have secured
the requisite number, and two
years from now they will be on
equal footing with the republicans
and the democrats as far as places
-on the ballot is concerned.

MANY INTERESTING EXHIBITS
ARE ON DISPLAY AT LOCAL
OPERA HOUSE.
The Burke County School Fair
and potato and corn contest was a
success. Many good exhibits were
on display at the opera house last
Saturday afternoon and the dis
play could not help but interest all
present. The attendance was not
very large, fy some reason or oth
er. Those who' went to
the
trouble
of making possible the exhibit were
disappointed in not seeing more of
the teachers and patrons of the
-schools present. Interest must, be
taken by the older people in what
the school children are doing, oth
erwise the young ones might feel
that their efforts are not apprecia-
Through 'the efforts of Superiii
tendentHec htsi ban ks in Burke
•'tendent Hecht six banks in Burke
county helped to
pay
the premiums
awarded at the fair, and unless they
l»ad done this the fair would have
"been impossible. Mr. Hecht put
forth a great deal of effort to make
the contests interesting and educa
tional, and to him is "due most of
the credit" for what was done.
W. A. Peck of Minot was present
-and judged the corn and potatoes.
He also addressed those present
on growing these products. His
ialk was very interesting to all
present. A few fam«s catnQ up
ind seemed to enjoy what was go
•ifeg on.
It is earnestly hPPed that anpth
er corn and potato contest will be
held next year, and that the exhib
its might eb on display at. the fair

EDITOR HI EPWORTH
IS IN THE TOILS
J. B. TAYLOR OF THE EPWORTH
EXAMINER CHARGED WITH
CRIMINAL LIBEL
Stanley, N. D„ Nov. 21.—J. B.
Taylor, editor and manager of the
Epworth Examiner is the latest to
join the ranks of Nrth Dakota
quill pushers who ai charged with
criminal libel. His arrest occur
red yesterday at the instance of
W. C. Gibb of Stanley, auditor of
Mountrail county.
The case is the outgrowth of a
bitter fight which was waged two
years ago and again this year over
the county superintenlency. Two
years ago Miss Rosanna Duffy was
defeated for the republican nomina
tion and when she ran on ti e in
dependent ticket at the fall elec
tion she- was elected. Again last
June she was defeated for the re
publican nomination by a man
named Groves from Plaza, and
again Miss Duffy ran independently
and was elected by a majority of
nearly four hundred votes.
In an issue of Taylor's paper
shortly after Miss Duffy had an
nounced that she would be an in
dependent candidate for the office
of county superintendent of schools
of Mountrail county. Taylor
claimed that H. J. Linde's activity
in behalf of Groves was due to the
fact that he wanted Mrs Linde ap
pointed deputy. Gibb's activity, he
charged, was an effort on his part
to get back at Miss Duffy for expo
sures she made for crooked work
for which he was responsible on the
county canvassing board as a mem
ber of that board and a custodian
of the records.
Taylor is a young man about 23
years old, conducts a clean little
paper and is said to be making mon
ey. He has^ a reputation for being
&• good "scrapper" and will put up
a hard fight against the charges
ipade against him by Mr. Gibb:
Attorney H. J. Linde of Stanley
will assist. the_states aorney _in the
prosecution of the case.
Miss Georgia Wavrunek of Law
ton had" her finger "nearly torn o.T
by a sliver in the sidewalk, when
she wrenched her ankle and fell.
Rev. Walter A. Snow and Mrs.
Ella Morris Snow, the state Sunday

JAMES SHIELDS OF MINOT NEAR
DEATH AS THE RESULT OF
ACCIDENT
Minot, N. D., Nov. 20.—As the
result of a bad runaway acsident
which occurred shortly after six
o'clock yesterday evening in the vi
cinity of the Great Northern passen
ger depot, John Shields, a pioneer
resident of this city and widely
known over the entire county, lies
at St. Joseph's hospital fatally in
jured, his death apparently only a
few hours away. Hope of saving
Mr. Shields life was abandoned by
the attending physician almost im
mediately after he had reached the
hospital. This afternoon an op
eration was performed in the hope
that he might regain consciousness
for a little while, but up to the
time of going to press the result
of the operation was unknown.
Mr. Shields, in company with
Tom Lacy, had been driving about
the city. They wijre seen by a
number of people on Main street
about six o'clock or shortly after
wards and they drove down West
Second street in the direction of the
road leading north to Burlington.
When they reached the Soo cross
ing, just south of the Great North
ern passenger depot, the horse be
came frightened and a moment lat
er was unmanageable. The buggy
struck one of the posts of the fence
guarding the Great Northern on the
depot property. One of the wheels
ran up over the field stones' lying
along the outer edge of the plot,
with sufficient force to throw both
of the occupants of the carriage out
Mr. Shields landed on the gravelled
roadway, just a few feet from the
door leading to the depot baggage,
room, with terrific force.
Fred Maltzlian and Fred Hines
were just emerging from the bag
gage room when the accident ac
curred and were in time to see
Mr. Shields and Mr. Lacy thrown
from the buggy. Both men were
apparently unconscious and it was
first thought that Mr. Shields had
been killed outright. A terrible
hole had been crushed in the skull
directly over the left ear and when
Maltzhan and Hines reached him
brain matter and blood were oozing
out. Physicians were summoned
and ambulance called and the in
jured man was rushed to St Jo
seph's hospital, where after an ex
amination, his case was pronounced
hopeless.
The Tribune is late this week for
the first time since the present pub
lisher took charge, and the reason
we are late this time is the fact
that we overestimated our capacity.
Besides setting all the type for The
Tribune this week our linotype set
all the type on three other papers
and several columns for four more,
set two delinquent tax lists and two
law briefs. The machine has not
been idle a single minute either day
or night since Sunday evening, hav
ing been run double shift, but the
work was too much for us and we
fell down. These tax lists come
only once a year aud have to be set
on short notice. Every county in
the state has one to publish and
about this time it is Impossible to
get any of this work done in the
state unless it is arranged for in
advance on account of the limited
number of machines here. We
thought we could handle two of the
lists nicely by running double shift,
but each list was a great deal larger
than we expected. The Tribune
can promise it readers that it will
not he late again for many njonths
to come.
The Tribune was misinformed
when in its last issue it made known
that the Yoeman lodge of: this city
was going to give a supper and
dance at the Fraternity hall Satur
day evenihg. (Our informant told
us fhat such dance and supper
would be given, and we naturally
thought it would1 be given here.
However, after the paper was "mail
ed we learned that -this function
would take^place at the Woburn hall
on the same evening instead of
here, and we hasten to correct the
item published last week. Every
body is cordially invited to be .pre
sent and a jolly good time is prom
ised to all. Stable rooni will be
provided for those' who. drive in.

been given out, the officials re
maining non-communicative as to
results.
Wm. Seward of near Powers Lake
was in the city a few days the fore
part of the week acting as one of
the jurors at district court, but
seemed to be in a duece of a sweat
to get home immediately alter
coming to town. He told The Trib
une that his wife was at home
alone and that the threshers would
be at his place Wednesday, making
his presence almost imperative.
He stood it as long as he could and
after receiving a message from
home on Wednesday to the effect
that threshing on his plapce had
already started he asked the judge
to be excused giving liis reasons.
The court thought he had a good
lea^on for wanting to go home and
excused him forthwith.

FALLS THROUGH
ELEVATOR SHAFT
YOUNG MAN AT MINOT FATAL
LY INJURED IN HIGH FALL
WEDNESDAY"
Minot, N. I)., Nov. 21.—All hope
of saving the. ,'iie of John Donahue,
an employee of the Stone Ordean
Wells company, who wras injured
late yesterday when he fell through
the elevator shaft from the first
floor to the basement below, was
practically abandoned by the at
tending physicians this forenoon.
It. is said that the young man has
one chance in a hundred of recov
ering from the injury.
It appears that Donahue was
about to sweep the warehouse floor,
prior to closing up the house for
the night. The elevator was on the
third floor of the wholesale house,
with Jas. Ross, who was filling an
order. The gates which prottect tlift
shaft were about half way up and
it is thought that Donahue leaned
under the gate to call to Ross to
bring the elevator down ami that
he lost his balance, falling to the
basement floor beneath.
No one was in tlie warehouse
when ilie accident occurred, with
I11 publishing the official result of
the count made by the canvassing
board of the returns of the general
election last week The Tribune
made an error in giving the amount
of voles received by the various
candidates for county treasurer.
The figures made it appear that the
socialist candidate won when in
fact it was the regular republican
nominee, Matt C. Hagen of Colum
bus. The figures should have been
Matt Hagen, 610 Thomas Braalen
422, and a few scattering votes.

AGED WOMAN LEAVES HIM
WITHOUT FOOD OR FIRE—
OFFICIALS INVESTIGATE
Minot, N. D., Nov. 21.—A letter
to Colonel Alex Scarrlet, president
of the Humane society, from E. F.
Von Esche, a claim holder living
near Berg postoffice in Williams
county, contains a pitiful story of
an aged mother's desertion of a
7-year-old cripple lad. The wo
man's name is given as Mrs. Hav
erty and it appears that she left
Minot about a year ago and took
her residence 011 a claim six miles
from Berg, adjoining that of Mr.
Von Esche.
According to Mr. VonEsche, the
little lad can neither walk nor talk
and is left alone very frequently by
the aged mother, probably about 65
years old, while she visits at the
neighbors or goes to Berg, six
miles away from home.
Only a few days ago when Mr.
Von Esche went to Berg lie stopped
in at. the TIaverty place and dis
covered the little lad there all
alone, with no fire in the stove and
nothing to eat. When he returned
that afternoon Lhe lad waB still
alone and the old lady still away.
He gave the little fellow some much
needed attention and notified Col.
Scarlet. According to Mr. Escbo
the mother is unable financially to
properly support herself and the
child.
Mr. Scarlett lias been busy inves
tigating the case and seeking infor
mation concerning the woman
here. She used to reside at the
"Tin Roof" lodging house, and ef
forts are being made to locate the
mother and make proper provis
ions for the boy.
