He was with the command when Licut, Beaverj was killed near Apple Creek about three miles south of Bismarck. In 1864 he returned again with Capt. Fish’s expedition to the gold! fields at Virginia City, now in Ida-| ho. They left Ft. Rice south of Bis- marck and followed the Cannonball river across’ Deep Creek, 12 miles southwest of “Amidon, Slope county, where they had a fight with Indians in which several ‘were killed.

Berthold for two years for! Durfee and Peck and two years at Ft. Un- ion, Williams county. Mr. Larned was at Ft. Union at about the same time .that Joseph Dietrich of Bismarck was there. On his visit here Mr. Larned re- galled vividly the fight with the Indians in 1863, It was during the summer, 60 years ago, he said. Mr. Larned visited L, F. Crawford, curator of the State Historical So- ciety, and met many pioneers today. A party was planned to retrace the steps Mr. Larned took near Bis- marck more than a half-century go. Mr. Larned visited Mr. Crawford at Sentinel Butte several years ago and traced old trail through Slope and Amidon counties. Mr. Crawford is making records of Mr. Larned’s story of the Sully expedi- tion: for the historical society. WILL ENFORCE ‘ RULE TO STOP.

Higginbotham charged with the murder of Martin ‘Yabert of North Dakota. The case is expeted to go ‘to the jury late today. epanients were started shortl; after court convened and because of the illness of Juror Chambers the at- torneys were limited to six hours. Four speeches wil] be made. Mr, Chambers ‘was 8! to have been in a serious condition late last night. Physicians announced that he had an attack of acute appendicitis. Early today he was reported better and at his requgst he was allowed to hobble into the court room and a rocking chair was arranged for him. Prior to its sub-rebuttal defense two witnesses testified as to the good character of Dr. T. Capers Jon-s. Forty-seven persons testified yeste day in this respect. Dr. Jones was the principal witness in the case. He testified tha tTabert died from lobar pneumonia and in nowise was the whipping which other witnesses said was given Tabert, responsigle. He said he found no sigrs of praumet- ism. Dr. C. F. Brown, appearing as an expert for the state, said the whip- ping was the cause of death, denying that even if Tabert had contracted pneumonia prior to the whipping the punishment inflicted would be the primary cause of death. Six expert witnesses corroborated while the state drew from them on cross exam- ination the difference between lobar anq traumatic to bear out its conten- tion that Dakotan contracted trau- matic pneumonia after he had been struck from 50 to 119 licks by Hig- ginbotham. \ Judge M. A. McMullan in his gen- era] charge to the jury outlined ex- cusable homicide, murder in the fir degree, mburder in the second di gree, manslaughter, premeditated de- sign and reasonable doubt. -He also gave a number of definitions of the law as furnished him by counsel for both sides, SUBMIT ‘NAMES FOR BAR BOARD rgo, N.

Al- though Mr. McAdoo has not formally announced his candidacy his support- ers were declared confident his hat would be in the ring. The diners méeting recently os- tensibly to honor Samuel B. Amidon, national Democratic committeeman from Kansas, picked Mr. Amidon to handle the McAdoo campaign, The Evening Post says. The diners discussed the relative strength of former Governor Cox of Ohio, Governor Smith of New York, Senator Underwood, former ambassa dor to Great Britain John W. Davis and Henry Ford concluding that Mc- Adoo could enter the convention with 409 delegates and many others ready to itch to him after they had registered “favorite son” choices. Mr. Amidon, now on his way to Europe, is expected to return in Sept- ember by which time, it is said, Mc- Adoo clubs will have been formed in many states and the campaign ready to be brought in the open. Discussion of Ford's chances was said to have occupiéd much of the diners’ time. The McAdoo strategists concluded that if McAdoo announced his candidacy soon enough he could spike a Ford Democratic boom, al- though the Detroit manufacturer probably will have to be reckoned with as a third party candidate. Smith and Underwood, they de- clared, were not especially danger- ous it being held that the “wet trend” was politically _ unpopular, Cox, Democratic standard-bearer in the 1920 race, was believed by the diners to be McAdoo’s most power- ful opponent, reports reaching them that Kentucky, Ohio and at least two other middle west states were lining up for Cox. Davis, the diners decided, probably would enter the convention with a good show of strength led by his ac- tive West Virginia contingent but most of this strength, it was declar- ed, could be swung to McAdoo. $4,198.00 WOLF BOUNTY PAID Adam Leismeister, Champion Hunter, Collects Adam Leismeister, the North Da- kotan who claims to-be the world’s champion wolf hunter, is still hit- ting on high.

PAUL Hundreds Turn Out to Meet Man Who Stayed the Limit With Jack Dempsey GETS STAGE OFFERS, St. Paul, July, 7—“Let's make~ it a knockdut" was the slogan adopt-, ed for St. Paul's welcome today to its famous fighter, Tommy Gibbons, on his return from Shelby, Montana. And it was a knockout. Hundreds of Twin City admirers, of Tommy, ‘the man who won fame_ by staying the limit of 15 rounds with Jack Dempsey, world’s heavy- weight champion on July 4, gathered at the Union depot to greet him this morning. Members of athletic organizations and the American Legion and civic pnd social clubs were in the throng that met Gibbons and his fainily and escorted them to the Town and Country Club for breakfast. At the club an informal reception was held. A parade from Como park to the state capitol and the downtown dis- trict followed, winding up at Rice park where the St. Paul boxer was welcomed officially by Mayor Arthur E. Nelson of St. Paul. Banners bearing the legend “Wel- come Home, Tommy” were carried on many automobiles and by indi- viduals. One of the first to greet Gibbons was his equally famous brother, “Phantom” Mike Gibbons. The two have been on the “outs” for several years following a per- sonal dispute. They had “made up” before the Shelby bout, however. Tommy plans to take a long rest before resuming active training. He may accept a vaudeville offer, how- ever, and spend several months on the stage, NO SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS Many Applications Made to Teach in North Dakota There will be no school teachers in next fall. Applications received at the office of the state superintendent of pub- lie instruction indicate that “all Indiana wants to come here” and a good part of other middle western states, according to Miss Hazel Nielson, deputy. The large graduating classes in the state schools in June together with reports that the summer clas: es at all state normal schools are far above last year would indicate anything but a shortage of teachers, Miss Nielson said. SYNDICATE MAY BID ON BONDS * No actual bids were submitted to the Industrial Commission late yes- terday for state honds, but several inquiries from eastern houses were reported.

Cook and Company bank building, the Elks club and the hos- pital. The west is waste, charred walls, smouldering ashes and smok- ing ruins.

TO DETERMINE __.” BOARD’S POWER The state railroad commission proposes to find out just when a company becomes a public utility and if a public utility can cease operations without consent of the commission. It has issued. an order to the Fried Company of Spiritwood to re- store electric service to Spiritwood, the plant having been shut down about May 10, according to Chair-; man Milhollan. The company, he ‘id, maintains it is not a public utility. Legal action probably will settle the disputed matters.
