ST.. PAUL, Minn., May 2s---Tllere was a
rumor about town to-day, to the effect that
the St. Paul, Minneapolis 5; Manitoba Fail
way Company will soon construct branch
or cross-road, beginning ten miles this side
Of Fergus Falls, to run to Breckenridge,
a distance Of thirty miles. BY this
connection will be formed with
the Durbin extension. The road will
pass through a highly cultivated and rich
section Of country, and will be a great con-
venlence to travellers desiring to 20 across
the country without the necessity of going
to Barnesville or to st. Paul in order to reach
Northwestern points. There is no doubt the
road will be built, though statements about
1t are in the fOrm of runlurS.
y dispatch from Dwight, Pun1and County,
Dakota, says Il party Ut engineers started
to-day to survey Il line south from this point
to Browns Valley, the present terminus OF the
branch Of the Manitoba lload west from Norris
This 1lue OF the Manitoba, running northwest
and north from Wappetun and Breckenridge,
was completed last full to a po,ut within
seven miles Of CAsselton, on the Northern Pa
citic, west OF Fargo twenty-cisht miles. This
new line tho enEineer3 are running to Browns
Valley will make quite an important feeder OF
the Manitoba rond, and will probably he pushed.
rs the Minnesota Northern from Wadcna west
will cross tho He'd River at Nappetun and extend
west towards the Missouri River.

4 very pretty contest took place at William

difference of opinion. Tho owners were lately

down the road together In friendly way. The
gentlemen whose names appear above as en-
tering the horses arc not the principals con-
ccrned at all. Both of the principals asked the
Eagle reporter to suppress their names. Each
said that he respected his opponent, but thnt the
thing had gone too fAr for frie ndship. Tho
whole trouble arose from the youngsters OF the
two families saying one TO the other:

connected with the free-for-all race trotted at
