TEMPTED TO KILL HIS SISTER,
IN-LAW. .>E
Leeds, N. D., June 26.-Report was
received here Sunday, that Mr.. Kline,
who a year or so ago taught the
school west of Leeds, had been mur-
dered at Pleasant Lake. But later re-
ports show that instead of Kline being
killed, he had planned to kill his sis
ter-in-law and being frustrated in
that, attempted to shoot two men. He
wrote a letter to his sister-in-law, ask
ing her to be at the scnool house ait a
certain time in tine evening to go to
party, and signed Mrs. M. E. Delam-
eter's name to it. Knowing that Mrs.
Delameter was sick, the folks con-
cluded something was wrong and the
two men went to meet him. He was
armed with gun and large knife
and opened fire in the dark as soon as
he saw the men. One of them worked
up close behind. Kline and struck him
with a club knocking him out, which
gave rise to the story that he had
been killed. Sheriff Shaffner went
after Kline Monday and had him in
the Leeds cooler Monday night 1t is
thought Kline is "off'' in his mind and
the fellow with the club failed to put
anything into his head. l>.@

LaMoure, N. D., June t2G-Joe De-
vine swept .LaMoure county like a
whirlwind in the fight for the delega-
ton to the state convention, defeat
ing r. S. w. Blackwell, who wanted
the support of this county for attorney
general, by an overwhelming vote. He
secured sixty-two out OF the seventy
one delegates elected to attend the
Edgeley convention to name delegates
to the state convention at Grand
Forks. In many of the precincts he
secured every vote, including Edgeley
and Kuhn.
1t was reported that in case Devine
got the delegation Judge Bartolomew's
chances would be lessened, but wheth-
er the convention will so decide is a
matter of conjecture.
- There is said to have been a great
deal of bitterness evidenced in the
campaign. The three candidates could
not all appear before the state conven-
tlon. Blackwell has been states at
torney of LaMours county for a num-
Der of years and thought that he could
easily wrest the county from the grasp
of Joe Devine, who is strong candi-

FOUND A DEAD MAN.


Fargo, June 26.-Peter Hanson
found the body of a man lying in the
woods at his place near the county
hospital. Coroner Mitchell was sent
for and will make an investigation.
The man is not known.
The remains were evidently those Of
1aboring man about forty years old
Death had probably occurred about
two weeks ago, as the remains were
badly decomposed. Inc flesh had
been eaten from the face by varmin.
The body was in such condition that
no examination could be made of the
remains until the coroner and under-
taker arrived.
Three weeks ago three hobos camped
there and it is supposed that one was
killed in row OF some kind.

CROP PROSPECTS RESULT IN THE
CALLING IN OF. MANY MACHIN-
ERY statesmen.
Grand Forks, June 26.-G. w. Rid
Ter, the well known northwestern rep
resentative Of the Advance Thresher
Co., left last night for MINNEAPOLIS,
and before leaving stated that his COM
pany had called in all the travelling
statesmen from North Dakota and
northern Minnesota. This example
has been followed by nearly every ma
chine firm doing business in the state.
and hundreds of statesmen, many of
whom are residents of the state, have
been legislated out of JOB for the bal
ance of the season. A few of the more
fortunate ones, who are old employees,
have been sent to other states to work
the season out. A local travelling man
stated yesterday that at least fifty
salesmea who made Grand Forks their
headquarters had been called in and
would have to seek other occupations
for the balance OF the year, or do MOTH
ing. In the entire state an army of
men will be laid off by the manufac-
turers Of machinery, to say nothing of
the number laid off by the local deal
ers, who will cut their forces as low as
possible. The crop situation is, of
course, the cause for calling in the
men.

On account Of crop failure they are of
the opinion that the amount paid on

a new steel bridge across the Sheyenne

TOTAL WINNINGS OF FARGoITEs

8i4TOIN - I1E#S&WF1EA1# MARhEI8 AI-5
GREGATE THAT AMOUNT .s
Fargo, June 26--The solidity of the
two commission houses doing business
in Fargo has given many new men tho
nerve to take a whirl at the markets,
and it is a safe estimate to say that
within the period Of the advance $780,
600 has been taken in profits. n
When the wheat was marked at 65
cents a prominent farmer and
business man decided to invest in
100000 bushels. The upward trend
of the market was rapid, and one Of
the men got a hunch, or imagined he
had one, when 50 cents was touched.
He sole, and his side partner is hold
ing his half Of the purchase for dollar
wheat or better and he thinks it will
{ be better. 8 s1s
A prominent official took flyer.
early in the week for small amount
and when an advance offour cents had
been scored. he sold. Next day he
bought on a higher market and the fol-
lowing day he accepted another adj
vance OF four cents and closed out.
When he figured out that he had made
$3.50 in the four days he was IN the
city he decided that it was not so bad
but little nerve would have made
it much better
A young professional man who has
had thousand dollars only in his
dreams made an investment the first
OF last week, and for two days haunted
the commission houses for tips and
any old information that he could se-2
cure. He sold at a profit OF a thous-
and dollars, and hasn't reinyested as
vet.
Another farmer who has had the
plows ait work on his big farms for a
week, closed out at about the so cent
figure and his balance to the good is
represented by 81, 400.
A dozen men have cleared up over
a Thousand dollars each IN the two
weeks.
One aspirant for an office that pays
good salary, got in on she ground
floor and liquidatea at the close OF the
week. His winnings will pay all cam.
paign expenses, and leave q handsome
