6 } ‘ iA BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY, JULY 23, 1917. o HANDTHARY OUT HB AS RESULT OF EXPRESSION Man Who Wrote Un-American Letters to North Dakota Herold Ousted by Board CLAIMS ARTICLES WERE INCORRECTLY INTERPRETED Mandan, N. D., July 23—Johann Handtmann, for the last four terms office deputy to Morton county sheriffs and for 15 years employed as court reporter and in other official capaci- ties, was ordered removed from oflice by the Morton county board of com- missioners this morning as a result of articles written by Handtmann and published in the ‘North Dakota Herold, ® pro-German paper printed at Dick- inson. The articles, in their various translations, the board contends, to say the least, have an un-American ring. The board, in ordering Deputy Sheriff Handtmann’s removal, acted on the theory that none but Ameri- cans should serve America in public office. Claims Misrepresentation. Mr. Handtmann, interviewed at his home by a Tribune representative this morning, claimed that he had ‘been misrepresented and his articles misinterpreted. One of the transla- tions upon which charges were pre- ferred was made in Bismarck and an- other was made here. They seem to agree in essential features. ‘he let- ter to which exceptions are taken am]! peared in, the,‘Nord Dakota Herald’); on July ,,13, and important extracts follow: “It must do our young soldiers who are already in Paris a whole lot of good, when, as they walk through the streets the French girls fall on their necks and kiss them. But that is all France has to offer our young men who are to be used as cannon fod- der—a world of depraved women. ‘Paris was heretofore known as the city of the lowest morals, and it will now again prove itself as such. “So far our soldiers have not ac- complished anything in France, that is if American soldiers have indeed ar- ‘believe much ‘in our newspapers rived there, for nowadays we can not ‘Gwhich vape: printed in. tae), English language.

They assert that no greater shame and disgrace and humiliation has been brought up- on them in the last 250 years, since the (Netherlands destroyed Chatham. The government will be attacked, the people, already in great distress, will ‘de put to still greater anxiety because .the newspapers say the Germans will appear over London with 1,000 air- shins...

America,has the; money, America has the airships, America has. ships and munitions, America has millions of young men who can go to war and serve-as cannon fodder, and pull the chestnuts out of the fire for England and France. America is praised as the land of redemption. America at this time appears to me like a deer pursued by wolves. If the poor ani- mal should fall, every wolf will have his piece, the poor animal will be torn in pieces till nothing is left of it. So dt is with our poor country.

Suppose the number, 16 is drawn in Washington, this number goes throughout the whole United States, in every county, city aud country. The drawing of one number signifies for the whole United States a drawing of about 30,000 men. As reckoned by the government at present there will be about 40 numbers drawn. Atter one is drawn he must report to the local jurisdiction, where the axamin- ation will take place. Then, whoever is found fit must go at ence. To what extent it will proceed we cannot now a3, but we hope that it wii! noi go ar. “JOHANN HANDTMANN, “Mandan, N.

Bismarck, North Dakota brary probably was the most diverse and the most often used in the state. He was a man of great frankness and courage. His sense of personal honor was very keen, and his word in the western country was’ as good as any man’s bond. He never ‘did any man an unkind or an unfriendly..act,. and his ‘benefactions were many.; His frankness and courage in political af- fairs won him enemies, but,he never lost the respect of his opponents.

At the close of the war he was sta- tioned at Carlisle barracks, ‘Pa., as cavalry instructor. There he met and wedded Rachel Aston Shryock, whose ancestors came to America in 1752, and who was a first cousin to Ridg- way ‘Knight, who probably stands at the head of ‘art in France. : Mr. Foley went with his bride to Texas, where he served on the fron- tier for three years, among his asso- ciates being then Lieutenant Henry W. Lawton, later to become command- er of the American troops in the Phil- ippines and one of America’s fore- most soldiers. The friendship be tween these two endured until Gen- eral Lawton’s death In the Philip- Pines, where he was killed in action. The eldest two sons were born at Fort Griffin, Texas, then ‘part of the Apache and Comanche country. In the early '70's the family went to St. Louis, where Mr. Foley: was stationed at the old Arsenal. Thence he was transferred to the frontier country of ‘Montana and Dakota ‘and stationed At old Fort Lincoln in 1878.
