A Fir 1lrcinl Puzzle.

Fairmont, MIMI, Special.-Fairmont
has largely extended system OF
water works, and a nice question now
arises as to when the contractors -
Fairbanks, Morse & Co.-are to look
for their pay, there being no money to
speak. Of in the treasury. Arrange
ments had been made to pay the con-
tractors with village orders, local
banking house having agreed to cash
them, but doubts arose as to the legal
ity Of this procedure, which doubts
were verified by referring the matter
to the attorney general. It is thought
now that efforts will be made to bond
the town, but it is difficult to see how
that can be done with the total valua-
ton 100000 and present bonded IN
del tedness in excess of $4,000. In
the meantime fine question Of re-
spcrsibility arises regarding the work
already done. which amounts to sew
eral thousand dollars.

HELD UP 4 TRAIN.
Northern Pacific Train Is Ransncked
Ncnr MOOrhcal. .-E r

Fargo, N. D., Specialize coast
bound train on the Northern Pacific
was held up three miles east Of Moor
head, Mimi At Glyndon Engineer
Hooker noticed three suspicious char
acters get on the blind baggage, but
such occurrences are so frequent that
little attention was paid to the matter.
About halfway to Moorhead two Of
these men climbed over the tender and
forced the engineer to stop. the train
by covering him and the fireman with
revolvers. A moment later two other
highwaymen appeared with Conductor
Corcoran and the brakeman. The mail
car and engine were then cut loose
and run up the track short distance.
When a stop was made and it was
found the express car was not at
tached there was considerable conster-
nation among the robbers. as they had
evidently made mistake in leaving it
behind. They ransacked the mail
pouches and took all the registered
packages. They also went through
conductor Corcoran and took $25, but
did not take either his or the engi-
neer's Wathes. There were at least a
half-dozen men implicated in the at
fair. Some of the passengers attempt
ed to get out and investigate when the
train was first stopped, but were made
to hustle back to the coaches at the
point of the highwaymen's revoivers
That the men were from Moorhead
or had made their headquarters there
was demonstrated by the fact that
there was twenty pounds of dynamite
on the blind baggage and enclosed in
wrapping paper from Moorheac
clothing store. Sheriff Bodl1in of Moor
head and Sheriff Wilson Of Fargo eacl
organized posses and secured the coun
try for miles, trying to locate the par
ties. Eight arrests of suspicious char
acters were made during the day, bu
it is impossible to tell whether they
are the guilty parties or not. Had the
robbers lot made their error in regart
to the express car the job would have
been about the smcothest that ever oc
Cured in the Northwest. Everything
seems to lave been carefully planned
except for that mistake. 1t is the frs
hold-up Of train that has occurred il
this part of the Northwest for years.

SONS OF HERMANN.
MOnum emit to Germany's Hero Dedi-
ss.F Gated ut New Ulm.

g
New Ulm, Mimi, Special.-About
10000 people were here Saturday and
the city was in gala dress. Gov.
Clough and staff on their arrival, were
met by Company A and Burg's bat
terry, which fired the usual salute
after escorting the governors party
to the hall the procession formed: 1t

crate, including civic and military
features. Many of the floats were
very fine. Joseph Vogel, mounted on
a white horse, represented Hermann,
the hero of Germany, surrounded by
his body guard with heavy helmets
and spears. The procession proceeded
to Hermann park, where the magnif1-
cent monument of Hermann was I'M

two delegates if the membership is be-
tween 1000 and 1000, and one addt-
tional delegate for every fraction over
500 above 10000. One Of the most i'm
portant acts Of the convention Was
tie adoption Of resolution for the in

| cision to have the national lodge as

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
A Father Kills or His Family and
Then Suicides.


Carroll, Iowa, Special slaugh-
ter of a mother and her six children
occurred at the home Of John Boeck-
er, a farmer living eight miles north
west of here. Afterward the fiendish
or demented husband and father at
whose hands they died completed his
bloody work by sending bullet into
his own head, inficting a fatal wound.
The family were prosperous Germans,
and, as far as known, lived happily.
No motive for the tragedy has been
disclosed. Boecker's victims are his
wife and these children: Caroline, il;
Christine, 9; Henry, 8; Lizzie, 6; John,
3, and an infant. All are dead but
Henry, and he cannot recover from
his wounds.
Boecker had an engagement to help
a neighbor thresh, and in his not put
ting in an appearance his brother
Henry, who lives about twenty rods
away, went to see why he did not
come. The doors of the house were
locked and there were no signs Of
life about. Henry tried to get into the
house but met no response, and finally
he kicked down the door and came
upon terrible scene. Blocker, with
his wife and baby, slept in a back
room and the three corpses lay on one
bed. The wife had been shot in the
neck with a shotgun which stood in
the corner, and the baby had been
shot and it's head crushed with the
butt Of a revolver. The man, still
breathing had a bullet hole high up in
the forehead and by his side was q
| Smith & Wesson six-shoOter with two
! chambers empty. The Blocker home
is a story and a half house, and up
| stairs Henry and Lizzie lay on bee
with bullet holes in the forehead, thu
latter dead, the boy still breathing. II
| the opposite corner of the same room
| Caroline, Christine and John wer'
dead, each with a bullet hole in tn
forehead, though Caroline had two. l
is undoubtedly case Of murder AM
suicide.
Blocker was 81 years old, and TO
over twenty years lived in the sam
neighborhood, in fact on the sam
farm. Members Of his fathers famil
say he had no family troubles, hi
financial affairs were in good shap
and they can assign no motive for tn
| terrible crime.

Give 1t Up for Now.

Grand Forks, n. D., Special.-After
months of work, some of the time day
and night, the Northern Pacific has
temporarily abandoned the attempt to
raise it's grade along the river near
the depot. Just now it has too much
business on hand to make the under
taking Il success. Already nearly a
thousand train loads of earth and
gravel have been dumped on the
grade in the attempt to raise the road
bed to the grade established by the
engineers, but for several weeks past
the grade has been sinking faster
than it could be filled

plosion at a kinetoscope entertainment
caused fire and a panic with injury
to several persons. The kaleidoscope

ent that there was no danger. But
just as the Corbett- FitZsimmons fight
commenced the machine exploded and
the fire from the chemicals cOmmuni-
Gated to the curtains, and in second
the whole outfit was in flames. Peo-
pie shrieked and made a stampede for
the door, women and children scream
ing and men yelling fire. Men lost
their senses and jumped over women
and children in order to reach the
door. Several people slid down stairs
while others jumped from the stairs
to the ground. Nobody was much
hurt.

Man Jumps From = Train to Escape
From Robbers.
Grand Forks, N. D., Special.-The
top of a rapidly moving freight train
was the place selected for bold hold
up. A quartet of men who have been
harvesting in the vicinity of Grafton
were on their way to their homes in
Minnesota with their earnings, taking
the box car route to save their money.
About nine miles from the city they
were approached by three men, also
riding on the cars, and compelled, at
the point of a revolver, to give up
their valuables. One of the nu nber,
John Bondin of st. Paul, rather than
give up $40 he had saved, jumped
from the rapidly-moving train and es-
capped but broke his arm in jumping.
TIe walked to Grand Forks to have
the fracture reduced. The robbers,
who wore masks, after securing all
the money the victims had, about 500:
compelled them to get off the train.

Prosperity Thurst on Hin.

Mitchell, S. D., Spec1al.-Last spring
Frank Graham couldn't sell his farm
near here for any price. This fall he
wouldn't dispose of it at the same
figure had he ever SO many offers. In
June he was willing to accept $15 per
acre. He agreed to throw in the crop
and give the purchaser all the time he
wanted to make the payments. But
he couldn't find taker. Now he has
1000 bushels Of wheat, LOO bushels
OF oats, 5000 bushels Of corn in the
field and still retains title to the farm.
He would not sell ut $40 an acre with
out the crop. Most Of the wheat
grades No. 2 and sells around "a cents.
Last year the same grade brought but
81 cents. The corn is well matured
and out Of danger Of frost. The case
is one of thousands throughout the
Northwest.
