TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS.
An Arrangement Whereby Both Telegraph
and Phone Messages May be Sent and
Quick Service Secured.

The Northwestern STelephone COM
pany at Fargo is about to make some
experiments on pew plan for the
betterment of it's So eSSvice, and quicker
accommodations Of its patrons on
the long distance lines, of which the
Forum speaks as follows:
The company Ahas sent Manager
Garrett telegraph instrument, and
a test of the wirs will be made with
the telegraph AID telephone instru-
ments at the sSme time. If this is
satisfactory telegraph operator will
be placed in allNhe long distance tel
ephone office. while the wire is be-
ing used for 'pkoning by one person,
if another shdlld come in and want
to speak withN some one in the same
or other townf along the line the tele.
graph operat9 will call up the town
and person Wanted, and have them al
phone by thS time the wire is free
This will sa1 , hours Of time, and not
only donbleE Ethe capacity of the tele-
phone linesE Ebut give the patrons ol
the line SO buch quicker service tha,
the effortsa of the company will be
fully appreciated. The telegraph op
orator can fave full charge of the ,ol
lines, doing all the work. There is nc
doubt aboa i the ability to telephone

NORTH DAKOTA PRESS.
Irregular, But Who Is Hurt?

They say" that over in Logan
county final naturalization paper
have been made out between terms
of court, and that the naturalization
record was afterward signed by
Judge Glaspell. ThisSis in direct vi
.olation of the law, which plainly de-
clares that second papers must be-
taken out in open court. But It is not
probable that this violation of law
has been confined to5 Logan county
or to Judge Glaspell,s district. On
more than one occasion people from
the south half of Emmons county.
desiring to make homestead proof
before the convening of the next
term of court have come to the conn
ty seat and asked for their fiual pa
pers. Being informed that they
conld obtain them only when courl
was in session and that the clerk
cooio issue only first papers," they
nave stated that hey could get Sec
ond papers at anyI time in Mcintosh
county And suFe enough, on the
DAY OF proof the fecoud papers have
oeen on hand, notwithstanding that
no term OF courtkh had been held in Nc
lntosh IN the maan time. Mcintosh
county is IN Judge LADDERS district.
If it is true that final NATURALIZATION
papers are behg issued II Logan,
Mcintosh or a y other county, except
IN open court, the practice ought to
come to an end The question arises
ae 10 whether man who has Obtain
ed his second papers otherwise than
IN the manner prescribed 10y law j, a
| citizen. If he lis not a citizen he is
not entitled to Vpte or to make final
proof on homestead. And it is
possible that thesobtaining Of second
papers in an irregular manner ml.At
be an important factor in an election
contest or disput over a land title.

tional 25-mile bicycle race for $1,000 be-
tween Tom Linton, the middle distance
champion of Europe, Harry Elkes, the
American racer, and Burns Pierce, Ca

led by yard, but Linton caught him
and passed the tape first at the second
mile. Pierce then went ahead, but
Linton again took the lead. Pierce and
his pacemakers fell as they neared the
finish of the fifth mile, and the Cana
dian lost two laps. The accident was
caused by the swapping of a chain on
Pierce's motor cycle.
Linton led UP to the last lap of the
tenth mile, when Elkes went to the
front and crossed the tape five Yards
ahead. Time, 17:042 20. Pierce kept

from him. The Is miles were covered
by Elkes in 25:39 lib 1-5 seconds be-
hind the record. On the 18th mile

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Two Men Drive Over
an Embankment
Into Blackstone.
PULLED OUT BY MIL7OURY man.
Nearly Exhausted They
Show Fight and All Are
Arrested.
OUT BY MIL7DURY MAN.

Joseph Green and Adolphus Rell of
cape from drowning at Millbury last
evening at $50 o'clock, when they drove
their team off a 12-foot embankment
into the murky waters of the Black
stone river, where the water and mud
is eight feet deep.
The two men were at Millbury, and
had acquired jag that stupefied their
senses by the time they started for
home When at the point of the road
that is nearest the old canal between
the power house Of the Worcester and
Suburban Railroad and what is known
as the Wood SWITCH" they drove de-
liberately over the embankment and
into the stream. At the place, the
road is about IL feet above the water
and approached by a sharp incline.
Here the water Is at least five feet deep
and the mud is about three feet thick
at that spot.
The men, when they found the pre-
dicament they were in, yelled in
alright and vainly endeavored to
Chamber from the water to the bank
Green was lucky enough to get astride
the horses back, while Rell, after fioun-
dering about the water, reached the
bank. He was as badly off as before
for the bank offered no foothold to the
struggling man. He managed, how
ever, to get hold of some brush that
grew on the bank, and by its aid kept
his head out of the water.
tvs ~ vciists who were on their way
to this city were Mortified to see the
team plunged over the steep embank-
ment and disappear from sight. They
We're at first so startled that they were
powerless to move, and stood still for
several seconds. The appearance of a
Worcester bound car brought them
back to their senses, and they called
out to the motorman, Thomas A. Dolan,
to stop his car. When the ear came to
a standstill the cries of the men strug-
Cling for their lives in the murky mud

the passengers ears and all made a
rush for the brink of the embankment
They peered over and in the dim light
could barely distinguish the forms of
the men and horse struggling for their
lives In the water.
Chief of Police Dolan and Henry II
Dreamer, who came from the power
house, let themselves down the side of
the bank by grasping the underground
that lined its side, and grabbed the
nearest man, who was Rell. When he
saw the buttons Of the conductor he
thought he was to be arrested, and
yelled wildly ana flung himself back In

KILLED AT LANCASTER.
Leominster Man Meets His
Death on a Trolley
Line.

Clinton, Aug. 5.-A man who was
identified by papers found in his pocket
as D. F. Shea of Leominster, was struck
by trolley car on the Leominster and
Clinton line little past o'clock to-
night and was dead when the body was
picked up.
The car was in charge of Motorman
Thomas Bowser and Conductor A. j.
Holden. The scene was at the top of
Ballard hill in Lancaster nearly oppo-
site the old Thompson place, where the
trolley track runs close to the right of
the road
Bowser's car had reached the level
near the top of the hill, and was NOV
ing rapidly toward Clinton, when Bow
ser, to his great horror, saw the body
of man, then within few feet of the
car, lying partly across the track on the
left.
1t was too late to check the speed
OF the car, and Bowser found the body
entangled in the fender and dragged
% feet The car was loaded with pleas
ure riders, some of whom almost
tainted from the shock of the catastro-
phe.
AS quickly as might be, the body was
dlsengaged from the fender and laid on
one side of the road. Word was sent
to Medical Examiner George L. Tobey
OF this place, who responded at once.
Dr. Tobey called the ambulance from
the undertaking rooms of Murphy
BROS, and had the body conveyed to
the morgue, In the meantime. he
TAXED with superintendent George w.
burgess ofthe street railway company,
ana the men in charge of the car.
Inc body is terribly mangled. 1t
SHOWS compound fracture of The right
arm, compound fracture of the left
NIP, and fracture of the pelyis. There
IS deep cut over the left ear, which
may nave been inflicted by a fall from
the olcyele, rather than by the trolley
car. Inc evidence seems to show that
no blame attaches to Motorman Bow
ser, He Is considered one of the most
careful men on the road.
A dispatch from Leominster late To-
night Is to the effect that the man killed
+ =. f. Shea Of Leominster without
