Frazier MENTIONED FOR SENATE Action of Senator McCumber’s | Friends Interesting State | Politicians | One of the political developments that will be of interest to those who | have followed the political career of | Usher L. Burdick of Williston is the; alignment of the former insurgent | candidate for governor with the agra-| rian policies of the state administra-| tion. } ‘A week ago today and last Sunday | at rallies in Steele, Griggs and Foster | counties, Mr. Burdick appeared at the! same meetings with Governor Frazier and Miss Brickner. | This from the McLean County Inde- | pendent, the McLean county league; paper, indicates that Mr. Burdick has | thrown himself into the thick of the! fight against the recall and to some! extent has brought the influence of | the Farm Bureau and the Grain Growers association into the political | controversy: i “Usher L. Burdick followed with | a lengthy address, every sentence : of which had a real punch in it. Mr. Burdick unmercifully flayed the interests which are now at work trying to destroy the Farm ganizations. His long story of the trials of the Farm Bureau and the Grain Growers reads much | like a page from the book of Non- | partisan League history. Mr. Burdick went into details regard- ing the selling plan of the Grain Growers.” Burdick has been aligned with the: insurgent element for many years. He | fought what was called the old ma-; chine for years. He has been seri ously mentioned at times as having aspirations to sit in the United States senate and as a possible contender for | Senator McCumber’s seat is regarded by some as worth watching. He first came into prominence when he was made speaker of the Housc. He was a candidate for governor on two occasions, practically retiring the| last time in the midst of the fight) NAVY A when he faced the Nonpartisan Leagu firing line in Stutsman,county. 1 IN GUN HUNT Mrs. Madalynne Connor Oberchain (above) and Arthur C.

HINKS SECOND BODY BURIED IN | Constable Investigating Priest’s Murder Will Make Further Search 1 San Francisco, Aug. 13.—Constable!

Beach on the Pacific ocean, south 9% here, announced his belief that an- other body is buried in the immediate vicinity of where the remains of Father Patrick, EB. Heslin, murdered Catholic ‘priest, were’ exhumed ‘last wednesday night. This, with the unearthing of fur- \ther evidence against William A Hightower, held in connection with | the death of Father Heslin, were the! outstanding developments in the case| today. Hightower has stoutly resisted all: efforts of the police to connect him with the murder, After two days’ questioning he still maintained he had no knowledge of the crime. He was taken into custody after he had led! a group of policemen and newspaper- | men to the priest’s grave on the sea-} shore Wednesday night. H Hightower was confronted by the police with information from wide- ly different sources, tending, they said, to show he had knowledge; of | the priest’s death, but he remained} calm and undisturbed. He showed emotion only once, the delayed telegram which told of his: wife’s death in Stillwater, Okla.; When he read the telegram, High-/| tower broke down and sobbed. The inquiry developed conflict of; Hightower’s story of the use he made} of an automobile rented from a local} garage the night the priest disap-! peared in company with a stranger; who said a dying man sought spiritual } consolation. | Hightower said he took the machine | from the garage about 4 o’clock and| went to South Jose, south of here,! with Dorris Shirley, a waitress, with| whom he said he was living, and re-| turned to San Francisco at 10 o'clock. | leave the garage until six and the po- |mobile known to have been of the |same make, COL.S.T.
