A Mandan Nluss,

A lively shooting scrape occurred at
Mandan Monday at the front door of
the Inter-Ocean hotel. DR.. Geschel of that
place, who is part owner of the hotel,
got into difficulty with negro porter
named VIM. Churchill over water which
the hotel uses from neighboring tank.
W. R. Coggeshall, who is in this city
Tuesday, to arrange for an appearance Of
the Misses Yelling of London, in an en-
tertainment, was on the street near the
hotel when the fracas occurred. The
doctor ran out Of the building and was
followed to the door by Churchill, who
had pistol in his left hand and was
shooting at the doctor, who in turn was
shouting for help and firing pistol at
the porter in the doorway. There were
SIX or more shots fired. one Of which
took effect in the porter's arm. The town
was aroused to high pitch of excite
ment, but up to last evening no arrests
had been made. The bullets passed
close to Mr.. Coggeshall, whose affidavit
as to the facts seen by him was taken
here Tuesday.

Work at the Fair Grounds.

Perhaps the busiest place in the city
at presen. is the fair grounds. Hammer.
ing and pounding has been going on for
days past and yet much remains to be
done this week before the gates can be
thrown open to the visitors and exhiD oil
tors of the state next week.
The grader is putting the race track
and ball grounds in the best of shape
and carpenters and workmen are IN all
parts of the grounds. The stalls for the
racing stock have been put in good con-
dition for the reception of the many
speedy animals that are expected daily.
One horse has been on the grounds for
several weeks past and much hard work
done.
A we'll has been sunk near the racing
stables to. furnish water IN addition to
the artesian supply, which will be carried
to the west end of the grounds, to the
live stock exhibits.
This year the crowds will have to keep
off the race tracks if fences and police
can make them. Fencing has been ex-
tended much farther east and west from
the grand stand than ever before.
The grand stand has been extra braced
and made more substantial and booths
built underneath for restaurant.
The poultry and pet stock and agricul-
tural buildings will have floors of clean
sand-an improvement over last year.
The Woman's building has been put IN
excellent shape this year, skylights
placed in the roof, and the walls neatly
papered to entirely exclude the dust.

Good EntrieDSecured,

Secretary Nierling and d.Superlntendent
Helm OF the speed department have re-
turned from Minneapolis and the Mn
nesota State Far. They met with un-
expected success from their trip in tho
matter of securing entries for the run
ming and trotting races-entries that
but for their visit would not have heen
secured and brought to this part OF the
state.
When asked how the Minnesota state
fair compared with the James River
Valley annual fairs, they were
unanimous IN the statement that when
it comes to agricultural exhibits we can
excel them-they are simply mot in it,.
OF course North Dakota is the home of
spring hard wheat, but 1t was expected
that equally fine samples would be
found at the Minnesota exhibit, but they
report not nice sample of wheat there.
They went through the exhibits
probably as thoroughly as the judges
themselves-and they didn't see a
single good sample of spring wheat
there.
But the live stock-this state cannot
equal them yet. Herds we're there from
Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, and the
display was magnificent. The manage
ment is reported to be pleased with the
financial results. The receipts are be-
yond expectations and the fair, which
heretofore has run behind on many oc-
casions, is proving paying Investment.
The atten dance has been inmence.

Wreck On the 500,
From TUESDAYS Daily.

from ueSdaV'S 8 DAILY.
g. \. J. Bliss of Minneapolis, who ar
rived today for weeks visit with Mrs
r. W. Bliss and Rev. G. II. Phillips
and family, was IN 500 wreck yester-
day at Annandale, 81 miles west of
Minneapolis, but fortunately escaped
without injury. Two of the sleepers in
the train jumped the track aud turning
completely over as they rolled down the
embsnk ment landed IN the ditch on
their sides. The passengers were badly
shaken up and serious bruises received
but It was believed that only one death
would result-that OF little five year
old child who was not expected to sur
vlve last night. A physician CHANGED
to be on the train and medical attend
ance was at once given the injured. The
two sleepcrs were the only cars that left
the track. Passengers we're delayed
eight hours. The accident ACQUIRED
about noon yesterday but no news OF it,
except to the railroad company, was sent
out although Annsrdale is telegraph
office.

Building Granaries,

Farmers are in many cases building
granaries to store their wheat instead of
selling at present prices. One lumber
company Monday sold material for tive
different granaries. Agood many who
cannot afford to buy lumber for bine
and who will not or cannot get it on
credit are stacking the grain close to
their houses and protecting it by fire
guards. A we'll made stack is not ex-
pensive and if properly constructed, it is
said, ought to keep grain year in this
climate Grain within a certain distance
of the house can also be insured.

A BRANCH TO JAMESTOWN
Suggestion of the Proposed
Duluth and N. .. Rail-
road Company.
A Mandan Shooting Racket
and a "Coon" Gets
Hurt.

o. P. NJ. Huffman, acting general
manager of the Minnesota and North
Dakota Central railway, writing from
Portland, Traill county, to B. P. Tilden
concerning the project and engineering
details says: In case our people do not
come to the front on lines now projected
We contemplate swinging southwest from
crossing Of the Red River valley running
line southwest from this place or west
of it toward Forest River to Pierre. This
would run the line through Valley City
or jamestown. Would your jamestown
citizens feel inclined to favor this and
meet their share of prellminaries TO
show capltalists?"
The lines now projected, to which Mr..
Huffman refers, are from Duluth
through Minnesota to Portland, Traill
county, then ramify in the best country
Of eastern North Dakota. to Devils
Lake, to Fargo and to Coal Harbor, near
the Missouri river, through Steele,
Griggs, Foster, Wells, Sheridan and
Mclean counties. That line southwest
through jamestown to Pierre, etc, seems
a new feature of the matter. II this
company has the guarantee they say, it
may be there is more in the project than
at first appears.
The line from Portland to jamestown
runs through fine settled country,
through Steele, Barnes and Stutsman
counties ana its natural course would
take 1t by Spir,twood lake.
It the company shows any material
backing and means business there is no
doubt but what the people of Stutsman
county would take hold and do their
share of the preliminaries.
There is no doubt of the immense
future business road would get run on
the plan of the above. From Portland
to Duluth it is almost a direct line. As
wheat carrying road it would have
almost equal privileges with either the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
and better than the 500 now has. The
branches west, to the Missouri, or the
James, southwest to this point, and
northwest to the Turtle mountains
would all 20 through the cream of the
country west of the Red river valley
proper, and for many years would CON-
mand share OF about all the paying
business that could be expected IN the
state.

JOHN DE WITT WARNER FOR MORRISON

HE THINKS THE COLONEL THE BEST MAN THE
DEMOCRATS CAN PUT Up
Ex-Congressman John De Witt Warner last even.
ing said that he believed Colonel William II. Nor
rson. OF Illinois. was the stronges; candidate to
day for the Presidential nomination on the Demo
cratic ticket next year. Mr.. Warner said: 1T Is
hard to pick out any now. There are a number
OF mentioned possibilities. but the party
does seem TO have united upon any one. Mr..
Morrison. I think. has solid support to-day
than any other candidate. but that is not saying
that he will have year from now. Time changes
everything, and a strong combination may be
formed for the nomination Of another man by the
time the convention meets"
Mr. Warner asked what he thought about the
third-term talk concerning President Cleveland II,
replied:
People have to talk about something. II is just
now the right thing to discuss Presidential posi-
bites There Is always third-term talk about
every President that has served two terms. take
IL only talk
In speaking OF the excise question, Mr. Warner
said
There are large number Of citizens In New
York who will protest against The way In which
the Excise law is being enforced. Now. whether the
Administration will gain anything politically by this
ccurs. Is 4 question ] must confess that there are
a great many people who seem highly t!ckled over
the course the Commission has taken. These people
are the American born ci,izers that from the
rural districts. and from the New England States

hand there II large percentage OF German clti-
zens and others who feel deeply the manner In
which they being deprived OF beer. Whether
these citizens will overlook the excise question on
account OF higher things is question for debate.
but while they feel aggrevcd they now feel,
they will probably not do So There Is ony one rem

have to be effected when the Legislature convenes.
Because a law IL the statuts-book II does not

In speaking OF silver factor In the next Ma;
