DUEL FOUGHT WITH CLUBS
Fatal Battle in a Little PENNSYLVANIA
Town
Two rlen Settle Dispute That Win End
In the Death Of One Of
Them

SHAMOKIN, Pa, June 2S.-Antony
Paoli and John Tursick fought duel in
the woods last night, using clups for
weapons. Paoli is dying from the effect
of his wounds, and Tursick, though bad j.
ly hurt. managed to crawl into the un-
derbrush and has not yet been found by
the police.
The principals were powerfully built
young men and had been rivals for the
affections of Rosina Dubach. The men
met and Tursick dared Paoli to settle the
dispute with clubs and the men retired
to the forest. They selected stout oak
sticks and then stripped to the waist. 1t
was decided to fight to the death. Friends
of Paoli, who found him bleeding to
death an hour later, say he told the re-
suit of the contest before lapsing into in
sensibility.
The men spared for brief time before
blow was struck Then Tursic1 landed
on Paolis right shoulder, fracturing it..
He dropped his club, but lodging blow
for his head, regained possession of IT.,
and continued the fight with his left
hand. He struck Tursick in the stomach,
weakening him so badly that FOR five
minutes neither of the men could deal
hard blows.
They agreed to rest for few minutes,
Tursick striking his opponent on the
head, knocking him down. Tursck bent
over him to deal the fatal blow, when
Paoli struck him in the stomach. P aoli
raised himself to his knees and warded
off number of blows until he was ex-

A MESSENGER BOYS SCHEME
Passport Department of the Government
Worked
Working the Mail In Order to Carry Out an
Extensive Scheme Of Swindiing.
Bogus Passports

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-For some
time the head of the passport bureau of
the state department has been mystified
by receiving demands from persons in
various towns and cities for a prompt re-
Fly to their applications for passports or
the return of the mo ney sent to the de-
partment.
In each case in vestigation failed to
show that any such applications had been
received. 1t was apparent that stealing
was going on somewhere, and after close
watching Kirk McMurtrie, messenger
boy, whose duty it was to get the mail
and carry it to the passport bureau, was
suspected. 1t was found he had been in
dulging in lavish expenditures and had
money to spend. The amount lost is not
yet known, but it is certain to be we'll up
into the hundreds of dollars, from the
number of complaints received. 1t is
said that on last Saturday eighteen let
tiers. each enclosing 81, were extracted.
McMurtrie has been discharged.

Agent Beck today gave notice that set
tiers must, before July 1st, come to him
and make new leases secured by bond or
cash or vacate their farms and lose their
crops. As the renters have already given
notes for their rent to the Flournoy COM
pany secured with mortgages on their
crops, it is unlikely they will make new
leases or yield peace able possession on the
1st of July without an order from the
courts. Inspector Mclaughlin of the
interior department returned to Washing
ton today. With him he takes an agree
ment between all the parties to the con-
troversy. by which the interior depart
ment will permanently settle the contro-
versy which has been carried on in the
courts for the past several years. The
leases are to be placed in the hands of
dislnterested parties to be designated by
the interior department. with an order
from the Flournoy company to turn the
after which unpaid leases are to be can
called. As the lessees of lands have
been denuding the territory of it's lum-
Der, they must pay the full mar
ket value of lumber to the amount OF
$467. Ala and interest. The defendants

will make it to the interests of North
Dakota shippers TO send cousign ments
to them this year, as it is going to be a

by sample in order to realize the highest
prices. They say there is going to be u
great deal of of grade wheat. They add:
"All wheat which will grade one north
ern and one hard had better go to Du-
luth; wheat below these grades had
better come to Minneapolis. Flax at
present ls selling for more money in
Duluth than in Minneapolis and We
believe barley will sell better there. We
advance money on bills Of ladinR for
three. fourths value and when grain is
unloaded will send our check for bal

That Extraordinary Generosity.

That Extraordinary Generosity.
Grand Forks Herald: The Bismarck
Tribune is very sore over the action OF
the state board Of equalization, and
charges the board with fixing the assess
ment of railroads at less rate than the
representatives OF the various roads in
open session expressed willingness to
pay. The Herald has not delved down
deep enough into the matter to fathom
the motives OF majority Of the board,
but from superficial glance at their
proceedings it confesses its inability to
account for the extraordinary generosity
shown to tho railway corporations.
Bismarck Tribune: The Grand Forks
Herald has either misunderstood Attor-
ney General Cowan or else it gets the
cart before the horse, in stating that be
figures the state will get 100000 more 10
taxes from the railroads than ever be-
fore. As Attorney General Cowan fig
ures, the whole state will receive from
$4,000 to 100000 less in taxes from the
roads than it received last year, and 1t
was for this reason that the attorney
general stood out against the district
members OF the board, and endeavored
to secure a higher valuation than was
placed on the railroad property.

accident occurred is not known. Vran-
denberg was working on the machine,
and IN STOPPING to pick up wrench his
arm was caught. it is supposed, by the
drive belt, and quicker than could be
told the man was jerked around
cylinder and killed almost before his
companions knew he was hurt. The jar
threw off one belt, but not the main
shaft. The arm was torn of, the jaw
bone broken, and also the neck. The
poor fellow lived but few seconds
He was % years old, not married, and

The Enderlin Journal says threshing
in that section is general and farmers
report yields from 25 to 40 bushels, but

northern that would otherwise grade
hard.

when to Cut Flax.

As to the proper time to cut tiax Prof.
Shepard OF the agricultural college ob-
serves: Flax is a plant that blossoms
very lrregularly, and consequently ripens
irregularly. I have always cut flax
when abont IS per cent Of the bo Sls are
brown or ripe. 1t would not be practic-
able to wait until the whole field was
brown, because the early ripeDed plant
would shell and the yield would not be
as heavy as it taken little earlier. II
the fax is cut too green 1t will not thresh
out heavily, and would advise farmers
to make careful inspection, and when
about three-quarters OF the plants are
brown commence harvest.
