Fire and Accident,

Fire destroyed a blacksmith shop be-
longing to Fred Holt at Jamestown.
The building and machinery were a
total loss. The fire was confined by
hard work to the one structure. The
loss is estimated at $1,000, with in
surance of 5000. Mr.. Holt had recently
equipped his shop with new gasoline
engine, triphammer and other ma
chinery.
Early Saturday morning the second
section of freight train No. SO of the
Northern Pacific railroad became
stalled while making the grade west of
jamestown and it was found necessary
to back into town in order to get n
good start. A switch engine was null.
ing some cars from the Jamestown &
Northern branch at the point where
the track connects with the main line.
The caboose of No. SO struck the cars
and was overturned, together with four
box cars. A number of other cars were,
derailed. The caboose caught fire and
was totally destroyed. The road was
blocked for five hours. A fog pre-
vented the crews of the t. .lns from
seeing tho danger signals Until too late.
All jumped and escaped unintured.

Arrest for Wheat Stealing.

The people in the western part of
Grand Forks county are considerably
wrought up over an occurrence near
Niagara. The facts as stated by one
of the parties are as follows: On
Thursday Mr.. Sharpneck of Larimore,
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Nc
Elroy. went to the farm of Herman.
near Niagara, to obtain from Nelson
county farmer named Miller, who was
then at Klug's place. settlement for
wheat which Sharpneck claimed had
been wrongfully sold The claim is
that half of the wheat in question be-
longed to J. B. Streeter, Jr., Of Lari-
more, Sharpnecl's son-in- lazy, and
that Miller, assisted by IXlug. had dis
posed of the entire crop Miller. on
the occasion Of this visit. refused to.
settle and McElroy was sent to get
warrant for his arrest. After he had
gone Miller also proceeded to depart,
and Sharpneck shot at him, the bullet
from his revolver chipping piece of
fur from the coat which Miller wore.
Instead of hating. Miller continued to.
run. turning up his coat collar and
ducking his head to avoid other bullets
which might come. Klug choked
Sharpneck until the latter agreed to
quit shooting. Klug came to Grand
Forks TO secure a warrant for the ar
rest of Sharpneck, and was himself
arrested for stealing wheat. Miller.
for all that appears to be known to- the
contrary, is still running.

Kipling's story. "The Man Who
Would Be King" has found strange
parallel in central Africa, where
romance as weird and bloody as any
ever penned by the English writer mas
lust reached it's finale. Two French
officers, dreaming of great empires
with themselves as rulers, headed
mrtiny and murdered their command
or. Then, with their supposedly devoted
followers, they plunged into the WILL
derness and were there in turn MUIR
dered nv the native soldiery on whom
thew counted for the arms that could
win their kingdoms. To make lifting
climax to the story, the news OF their
tate reached Paris On the very Gay
when memorial services were being
celebrated for the officer they slew.
Fiction's pages can furnish few more
thrilling narratives, and the noSellst
would indeed be dull who could not
weave a tale of fascinating interest
around the ambitions, crimes and end
ings of the soldiers who wanted to rule
a tropic world.

Suinr the Bondsmcu,

The signing of bonds is not likely to
be very popular in Grand Forks here
after, as suits arc now i'll progress
against three sets Of bondsmen. These
are against the bondsmen Of D. NJ.
Holmes, former city treasurer, for
money deposited in the defunct Grand
Forks National bank; against the
bondsmen of City Treasurer t5orden.
deceased. for a shortage of S4,GNl, and
against the bondsmen of S. W. Nc
Laughlin, a real estate and loan agent
formerly Of Grand Forks. Mention has
previously been made in these columns
of the former two suits. The latter is
one Of Il series of cases which has oc
rupied Il considerable portion Of the
time of various district courts Cor the
past two years. Mr.. Mclaughlin was
one of the earliest residents of Grand
Forks, and was locked upon as tinan-
cially solvent and morally irreproach-
able. About two years ago he discon-
tinued business. aud it became evident
that he had for some time been i'll
severe financial straits. and large sums
Of money which dad been PAID to him
were unaccounietl tor. RE ~y;ls agent
for a good many New Englar.; people,
uIu Iiu IcCetNSl lICllt .JS.'t large
sums Of money for Investment. He
had also received from various bor-
rowers in the Northwest m@noy &c ap-
ply Oh the priDcipa,i or interest Of their
loans. The wori; of tracing these
various payments has so far rrIcen
too much for any one who has upicr-
taken the task. The only thing witch
appears to be quite certain is that
Eastern depositors in many cases have
nothing to show for their money but
Mclaughlin receipts. and that many
Western men who had paid him money
on claims against their property find
that they must pay it again. His
bondsmen have just been served with
notices of a suit begun against them
for money held by Mclaughlin as ad-
ministrator of an Eastern estate. and
which he failed to turn over to his
successor. In view of the many oc-
currences ct this kind the plan of bond
ing in fidelity companies is rapidly
growing in popularity.

HUM1L1ATING LADY STUDENTS.
Members of the Night Shirt Brigade
to Re DieciDlfned.


Madison, Wis, Nov. 2.-Never in the
history of the University OF Wisconsin
has indignation in college or town
circles run so high over student effer
vcscence as over the night-shirt parade
of Monday evening, end the vandalism
following it. On the streets and in the
press the Indignation is loudly ex-
pressed. The faculty, moved by this
feeling, is investigating the matter.
and it is said has decided to eXpel
every student found to have been i'm
plicatcd in the affair. The offense is
the forciblc breaking into the ladies'
hall and rif1ing the laundry Of the
linen of the young women, which was
Worn on the street in the parade and
later carried home as trophies. The
humiliation of the women is deepened
by the fact that every piece of linen at
the hall must be stamped with the
owners name. Besides this act, pr-
vate rooms were broken into and sofa
pillows and crockery stolen. The dean
of the university is said to have
good sized list of names of Offenders
already, and it is said that the leniency
that has marked previous disciplinine
of outbreaks will be absent in the per-
Secutions to follow.
