D.; Sept. 6.—Adolph Lehman, wealthy rancher and son of a ‘retired farmer residing in St. taut, will be tried at.Beach during the Jan- uary ‘te of the Golden Valley dis- trict court for the murder of Mathias Wetzstein at the home of the latter's mother-in-law in Richardton on May 20, in agcordance with a, change of venue grinted by Judge W. C. Craw- ford. on Wednesday. The question of admitting Letiman to ball was argued and taken under ‘advisement by the court. Lehman has been in jail since the day of the niurder. When his at- torney, Senator L. A. Simpson, made efforts in April to procure bail for his client, 80 hichardton people appeared in protest against Lehman's release. Since that time some of them have filed counter-affidavits, and most tell- ink‘ argument™presented in court yes- terday ‘was the fact that the’ father and brothers of Lehman's victims have asked that he be given a trial in, some county other than Stark. Lehnian does not: deny that ‘he killéd Wetzstéin, but he claims that he acted in self-defense after the de- ceased, had threatened his life. The woman in the case was Wetzstein’s wife, former’ housekeeper ‘for Leh- man, for whom the latter is sald to have entertained an attachment which did not cease with her marriage. Leh- man is ‘31, well-to-do, and his family is one of the oldest in the Richardton community. _Members of Co. K Will Come Out of Army Homesteaders +: Dickinson, N. D., Sept. 6—Mem- bers of Co.

D., Sept. 6.—So serious is the grasshopper pest,in Emmons county that no winter wheat and rye will be seeded here until late in the fall... Ordinarily this‘work would be in Progress now, but the hoppers are so thick the farmers fear. they would eat the grait faster than jt could be sown. Everything in the way of vegetation has disappeared in the path of the plague. “BEST-AT”. 2. DROPS, BORNS PEEL OFF er!

Mann, chief of the militia bureau atid who is to command the second division of the new hatiorial' army, was a first lieu- tenant in the First United States in- fantry when he fought Indians and mosquitoes in Dakota territory with ‘Deputy Sheriff M. E. Urelln, pioneer } scout and Indian-fighter of the reser- vation country. Upon the occasion of tions. enlisted; under the name of Welsh, wrote ,a letter of congratula- tions to his old comrade, and the next mail brought the following reply! “Dear Sir:—I was, quite surprised and very much pleased to get your letter of recent date and to learn whom my old, comrade, whom I knew as Sergeant Welsh, really was, and to see that you are still holding the fort. ‘There have been many changes since wé served together at old Fort Pem- bina. .It was a coincidence that Mrs. Troxel was visiting us when your let- ter was received with the inquiry about her.

Mrs. Green died several years ago at-her old home in Norfolk, Va, “Mrs. Mann, Mrs. Troxel and’ I send our very best regards to you, with best wishes for your future —William A. Mann.” Brigadier-Generat Mann, who can spare a moment from his new duties as chief of a division in the great na- tional army, will be readily remem- bered by old-time Pembina people, as will Tom Troxel and his bride, and the Greenes, all of whom aided in making history for the Dakotas in the old ter- |ritorfal days, when General Mann, was |@ young leutenant, not long out of | West Point, seeing his first bit of the western frontier. And ho one in’ North Dakota was better qualified to initiate him into frontier lore than Sergeant Welsh, or Urell, whose fame as an Indian tracker and scout lingers ;to this day among the old braves of the reservation. INSURGENTS. WITHIN. LEAGUE ORGANIZING. 10 SEIZE CONTROL Farmer Management for Farmer Organization Slogan of Bot- tineau Members Max, N. D., Sept, 6.—Bottineau in- surgents, dissatisfied with the pres- ent management of the Nonpartisan league, are organizing within the league in an effort to gain sufficient strength to call an election, demand an accounting and elect a set of offi- cers chosen from the farmers of the’ state, The league has, never had a general election. According to Townley’s own statement, just five votes, including his ‘own, were cast at the election by which he was named president of the league at its inception two years ago. Then the leagte didn’t:amount to much, and no one particularly cared about the presidency. Today the league has a membership of 40,000| tically every executive, administra- tive dnd. juiicial office in the state, and the farmer-members: are’ anxious to have a share in the running of the big machine which Townley has built up: for: them. of his time’ since thé ¢ampaign which he nade intmediately after the declar- ation of war to affairs outside of the state, ‘and’ has named ‘Howard R. Wood of Deering, speaker of the last hoiise, as’ his ‘representative in North Dakota. Bottineau county farmers at a ‘fieéting held here expressed d{s- satisfaction with this ‘arrangement and went on record in favor of a state organization independent of the na- tional headquarters which President Townley has established ‘at St. Paul. How far this movement will go re- mains to be seen. Its origin in Bot- tireau, one of the most pro-league counties in the state, may be signifi- cant.

By CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL. (Copyright, 1917, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association.) The czar, ie has gone to Tobolsk— Tobolsk in Siberia. It isa good place for him to go to. Any’ place in Siberia that is not too luxurious would ‘be a good place for him to go to and tot return, from. The Russians are the least vindic- tive people in the world. Otherwise this czar person would not now be in Tobolsk, nor in any other spot visible to mortal eye. ‘°° ‘There is, however, such a thing as justice without any mixture of re- venge. To anybody that knows what the czar really, was and what mon- Strous cruelties he stodd for and seem- ¢4 to enjoy, Tobolsk in Siberia seems pretty soft.’ Instead of Todolsk, where he has a Pledsaht cli catéaa to,live in, a big dose of the Arctic would seem about right.

No fear. When a thing is dead it is dead. There isn’t any sympathy for the czar in Russia. Except for a few gén- tlemen of his. own taste in the caus- ing of human suffering, (most ‘of whom skipped over the border when the revolution broke) nobody in Rus- sia gives a hang what becomes of him. Well, but before the revoliation, you say, the people used to call him the “Little. Father” and all that kind of thing, looking upon him with supersti- tious. awe as the earthly representa- tive of deity. Yes, .they, did—a generation ago— and before that. This generation had ter contempt in its heart. , On the very: next Sunday after the outbreak of March 13, in every church in Russia the prayers, for the czar and the imperial family were oniit- ted. Nobody told the church to omit them. It dropped them instinctively and, I understand, joyously,.as who should say, “Well, thank the Lord that bore is gone.” While I was.in Petrograd there was running at. one. of the film. theatres an extraordinary picture play on the last days of czarism, in Russia, .So far as I could:discern it was not hos- tile, it was not friéndly; it, merely sought to depict things exactly as they were, including Rasputin. It ‘showed the abdication in the drawing room of the czar, with which we were so familiar, it showed, the czarina as the neurotic she undoubdt- edly was, and it showed the czar & prisoner and weeping in his own pal- ace. I suppose you might say it was a pathetic figure. Many Englishmen, who, of course, regret the fall of mon- archy anywhere, assured me: solemnly that the figure was very pathetic and I ought to be much moved by it. The czar went tottering about pulling his | mustache (which was the best thing he. did, and evidently dazed by. the events about him.

He tried to walk out of doors and two sentries presented their bayon- éts at his breast. So he sighed and shook his poor head and ;pulled his mustache and, toddied. away up stairs and looked’ through the window cur- tains at the-marching crowds in the streets. It might have beett as pathetic as Littte,.Eva\for all 1 know, but the point is, that to the crowds that look- ed at'it the thing was not pathei¢ at all.;; Wlienever 1 could I went to that play, and: I interviewed others that went ‘to it, and I never could discover that:any: Russfan, at least, gave signs of any emotion except a quict. satis- faction.
