Markley largely in northern and central North Dakota. The letter of the Fighting Chaplain of. the Smasbing Second follows: COPY Somewhere in France March 4th, 1918 The Hon. Lynn J. Frazier, Governor of North Dakota. My dear Governor: Your very kind letter of December 10th, just received and will hasten to reply. # am very sorry that I did not receive it at an earlier date, but the mailing facilities have been very poor for.some time, and that is the reason for the very long delay. I am very glad for the interest that you have taken jn me and my work, and 1 want to thank you, not only for myself but for the boys who are here in France striving to do their vit for our great “Homelaad.” Since our dis-intgration, or smashup, it would be very difficult to tell you all that has transpired, but wil endeav- or to explain to you and the good peo- ple of North Dakota just what has been accomplished with the funds en- trusted to me for the boys who have sacrificed and laid their all on the alt- ars of ouf country. You will readily understand that ow- ing to the fact that we'were split up into so many units, the disbursement of the funds to each company unit was a physical impossibility. So act- ing upon the authority of those who gave me the fund, to use it wherever it would do the most good, I have tried very faithfully to use this money for the amelioration of all the boys who were in need, regardless of whether they were from North Da- kota or some other state. Companies Held Intact. In some instances where a company was held intact, as was the one from Beach,‘ and also from Carrington, and perhaps two or three others, I gave them @ goodly pertion to be used as an emergency fund. Jt was placed in the hands of the commander of the company or unit, and will be used for little necessities that cannot be furn- ished by the U.S. Government. In other cases where the companies were split @.as they have been since com- ing to Prance, it bas been impossible to make an equitabdle diatribution. For example, many of the companies have been divided, somegoing to one regi- ment, some ‘to another, and some to one battalion, and some to another. So at the present time there are not over three or four companies of the former Second North Dakota that bas auy semblance of the personnel thay Account of Expenditures. Felewing is an account that will! kelp you and the people of our state to know just how the money is being expénded. I collected in the different towas which I visited $4,500.

Even as I write now | have in my of- fice about six hundred boxes of tobac- co which cost at the very least, fifty conts per hox and about two hundred dollars worth of tobacco in cans and cartons that has been sent from at least six different states. This tobac- co will be given to the men free of; charge, | The few boys from North Dakota that are with us at the present time are very well, and ere long we hope to give a good account of ourselves when the big expected drive takes place. Give my regards to the people! of our great state and tell them that their money is doing more good than) they will ever know until at the last great day, when the books are open- ed. May God bless you in your work, and give you much wisdom and know- ledge in these trying times.

United States Judge Will Mete| Out Justice to Couture and McDowell presided over the lasi term of ferler- al court here, advises Clerk of Court R. D. Hoskins that he will be in Bis marck on April 3 to pass sentence ap on Couture and McDowell, two mei from the Standing Rees reservation convicted at the mid-winter term. Couture, after a numper of trials, fin- ally was convicted of, cling cattle and horses and drivin the line into South Dakota to be + by alleged confederated. McDovw was convicted of perjury in conn: with the same case. 2 Judgé E. T, Burke, appearing in de- fense of the two convicted men, mov- ed for a stay of sentence on grounds that the United States district court had no jurisdiction over these case; inasmuch as ‘the complaining witnes: es were citizen Indians, independent of the federal government. Burke contended the c tried in the state courts. Judge Wade has overruled this contention and will sentence Couture and McDowell. Ii is understood that. Judge Burke then will appeal from this sentence to the United States’ supreme court.

Ingle about 500 letters from North Da-} kota leaguers, of which the following are a fair sample, The names are omitted at the request of Mr. Ingle, but the original letters are preserved | and are open for inspection, and} the towns name:l are authentic. “Steered in a Dump-Pi.e.” Nome, iv. D.—I see by the papers that you haye for some reasons taken} a very strong stand against Townley. Do, you stand ready to keep the stand you have taken against him. And do you think that you could call to mem- ory some ‘of the members that you had this talk with Mr. Townley. If you could, I wish you would give me| a list of as many as you recall. Now, Mr. Ingle, don’t go to conclusion that I am doubting your word. For there! are numerous stories circulated about} the leaders, It is about time that} something should be done. or the| Non-Partisan league is too big a thing! to be thrown to the four winds, just because so much rope is given to one There is only one way for us! , and that is to STICK.

D.—1 read your letter in the Fargo Forum in regard to the Consumers’ United Store Co. and A. C.} Townley. There has heen so many lies in the gang papers about the Non- partisan league and the head man of| it that I wondered if the Forum didn’t| add a lot to your letter. I am a league) member from the time the league was organized and I couldn't hardly _be- lieve that Townley was that kind of a man, Now if I am not asking too much, I would be thankful to you if you would answer my letter and ex- plain this to me. I have been a league ‘booster in my vicinity, but this letter (if it is a true copy of your letter) puts me to thinking. ‘Hope I will have an early reply. He Is Interested. Hatton, N.

As a member of the afore mentioned league, I believe you will the article referred to is genuine, or whether it has felt the eqects of the editor's scissors before publication. 1 am inclined to believe that the state- ments are not adulterated in any way May I politely ask you for verifica tion of that belief? Needs a Secretary “To answer all this correspondence I would need a private secretary,” said Mr; Ingle today, “Being only a common farmer, I haven't been able to afford such a luxury and many of these letters must go unanswered, for the present, at least. But I wish to! say that the story as it appeared in The Forum and the Bismarck Tribune was just as I gave it, and I stand back of every word of it.
