= The Warren l. o. G. T. will hold
an open lodge in the Opera House,

A program will be rendered and also
refreshments will be served through
out the evening.
II. J. Beardmore attended al
meeting OF the Board Of Directors ef
the Farmers Railroad ut Drayton
on the s and 6 of June. Ex-Gov.
Burke, representing the Board Of
Trade at Duluth, + Windsor, presi-
dent OF the Board Of Trade at West
Superior, and w. B. Kellogg, OF West
Superior, were present and promised
the hearty cooperation ofthese cities
in the enterprise. The work Of grad
ing is being pushed vigorously on the
Dakota side, and grading will COM
mence on the Minnesota side shortly.
The plan is to grade from 20 miles
west OF Drayton to Thief River Falls
this present summer. 1t is the inten-
tiOn to cut ties for the entire distance
next winter and complete the road
clear from Deer River into Dakota
next year. The SHEAF is informed
that the grading between Warren
and Drayton is now being let. Ii
everybody will take hold OF this work
with a will and push it along, it will
be success. What the farmers on
the Dakota side are doing to-day, the
farmers in Minnesota can do. They
are just as energetic and capable. If
every farmer would contribute for
one year the saving that would ne
cessarily result from reduced freight
charges, that alone would go far
towards building the road A reduc-
ton OF, say 3 cents a bushel on wheat
freights, would make quite a sum for
this point alone. The building of
this road is q business enterprise
that will be a paying one, and is the
only hope we have OF freeing our
selves from the transportation mon-
opoly OF j. J. Hill
Complaints were entered before
Justice e. S. Hull on Thursday last
week against John Koppong, Laur-
itz Olson, Alfred Bergo, Peter Bergo,
Otto Edwardh, Peter Ostlund and
3. N. Blawd for the Illegal sale Of liq-I
=uOr. Warrants were issued for rhe
apprehension of the defendants, and
bringing them before his honor. A
continuance OF the cases was granted
for one week, each defendant giving
bonds in the sum OF 800 for his ap-
pearance on the 18th inst. Blnwd
Edwardh, Ostlund, Alfred and Peter
Bergo have since settled their cases
by pleading guilty and paying fine
OF $500 and costs, and pledging
themselves not to sell liquor unlaw-
fully in the future. Some Of them
have also plead guilty to second
offence, the fine imposed for this be-
ing suspended during good behavior.
The cases against Olson and Kop-
pong will he heard to-day unless a |
settlement is made. All the COM
plants charge the selling OF liquor
to one S;lmnel V. Downing, a detec-
tive, said to have been employed by
a committee OF law and order loving
citizens Of Warren, who are deter
mined to stop the illegal sale OF liq:l
uor. The arrests were q surprise
and came like u thunderDolt from Il
clear sky. 1t is safe to say, that
land hunters, at least, will in the fu-
ture find some difficulty in procuring
4O-rod whiskey in this town.
"A citizens meeting was held on
Tuesday evening to make arrange
ments for Il Fourth-of-July celebra-
ton. An executive committee con-
sisting OF L. Lnmberson, A. +. Nell
son, G. s.. Wattam. A. Grinde!and,
4. Glavin, j. E. Ostrom and W. F.
Powell was appointed to make all
the necessary arrangements. A sub
scription was started ut the meeting
and $3.50 was pledged in u few min
utps. Warren will have a grand and
glorious celebration this year.
~ Fire was discovered in the inte-
rior Of the Bennewitz store building
on Johnson avenue at about half
past 10 Monday evening. An alarm
was turned in and just as the flames
were bursting through the front the
fire boys had q stream of water at
play upon the fire, and quenched it
in short order. Had the water come
a few minutes later the building
would undoubtedly have been con-
sumed. Now it is but slightly dam
aged. The law library Of W. j..
Brown was badly damaged, also his
office furniture. The origin Of the
fire is mystery. Ample insurance
will cover all losses.
