TRANSIENT DIES OF INJURIES SUSTAINED IN HIGHWAY TRAGEDY Harry Rott, Believed to Have Been the Victim of a Hit- And-Run Driver Harry Rott, itinerant farm hand, thought to be the victim of a hit-and- run driver, died ‘here at 10 p. m. Tues- day from. internal. injuries and the effects of exposure. Discovered by a passing motorist as he lay in a semi-conscious condition two miles east of the penitentiary July 30, Rott was brought to a local hospital where he had been receiving treatment since that time. Although unable to get a coherent account of what had happened be- cause of the man’s condition, authori- ties believe he was struck by a motor- ist who failed to stop. Rott told vague stories about being struck by a car while he was on his way to visit a radio station and of struggling along the highway until he collapsed. Authorities were inclined; to give credence to his story when it was learned that he had_ sustained broken ribs on both sides of his body. It is believed he lay in the ditch in} the rain for more than 12 hours before before he was dscovered. Sheriff J. L. Kelley learned last week that the man had worked onj several Oliver county farms during; the last two years and Tuesday was, communicating with authorities there about funeral arrangements. | As far as could be ascertained in the | investigation following the accident, Rott had no living relatives.

BIG BUSINESS IS RAPPED BY SHARER | IT, PAUL TALK Says Economic and Political Prosperity Dependent on | Small Business Man Py fie: Minneapolis, Aug. 12.—()—The fu-)} ture health and economic prosperity , of this country depend on the ability of the individual and small business units to survive the tendency of big business to absorb them, Governor | George F. Shafer of North Daktoa told nearly 1,500 persons who attend- ed a dinner here Tuesday night, clos- | = ing the annual convention of the northwestern district of the Inde- pendent Grocers’ Alliance of America. “Playing for supremacy in our commercial structure are two funda- mentally different principles, that of individual or small group ownership of property and business and that of autocratic control,” he said. “There is no gainsaying that some autocratic | business and political organizations have rendered great social service, but... most of them have not been | efficient, economical or capable of Annual Flower Show | rendering the country the service it H needs. | “Cooperative organizations now are on the right road in calling attention of the public to this tendency of big business to absorb the small units.

H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray said Wednesday that a $250,000 presi- dential campaign fund offer submit- ted to him last spring still holds good and was made in behalf of an oil man “who wanted to be ambassador to some foreign country.” The proposition to underwrite’ the expense of a campaign by Murray for the Democratic nomination for the! presidency was placed before the governor by C. A. Owens, former chairman of Murray's oil legislation | committee. Owens disclosed yester- day he had discussed the matter with Murray last spring, acting for an un- named principal, but that no agree- ment had been reached. “The cash is still on the barrel| head,” Murray said. “If I had accepted it without any | strings whatever I know it would have been used to compel me on certain things here in the state.

The American farm bureau federa- tion Wednesday termed present farm legislation inadequate and reaffirmed its faith in the equalization fee.

Representatives of both na- tionally known- farm organizations have said adoption of these plans will be urged in the next Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakota, wants the government to en- gage in a program of price fixing for two or three years and has recom- mended @ debt holiday for farmers.
