REAL SMALLPOX.

Jamestown, June 27.-Dr. Quarry,
state superintendent of health, re-
turned this morning from Kensal,
where he went to investigate smallpox
cases reported from there. He found
but one case, and that was genuine
one, known as discrete smallpox. The
man affected is restaurant and hotel
proprietor, Hyland. DR.. Quarry states
that the disease was recognized very
promptly by DR.. Mcdonald. of Court
enay, and that DR.. Baldwin of James
town at once instituted proper quar-
antine regulations. These were not
observed, however, and it is feared that
a large. number have been needlessly
exposed. Unless the disease makes
lis appearance within the next few
days among those held at the deten-
ton hospital, they viii be released.
Much excitement prevails in Kensaf
over the presence of the dread disease.
It is supposed that Hyland con-
tracted the disease from a young lady
from Minneapolis, who stopped at the
hotel for several days and who was
known to be suffering from some skin
disease at the time. There was no
one who thought Of its being smallpox.

GRAND FORKS WATER SUPPLY
l. Affected BY DRYsWEATHER. h

4 Grand Forks, June 27.--!The dry
weather has resulted in shortage in
the water supply from the city water
works. The lack OF rain has lowered
the river below any point reached for
many years and the water at the intake
is now less than two feet deep, with
but a few inches flowing over the top
of the intake pipe. So long as there
is water it coulo have been pumped,
but recently the bank on the west side
has slipped several times, breaking the
wallis OF the tunnel. and separating the
supply pipe. The entire water works
system is thrown out of gear The
work Of making necessary repairs has
been begun and will require some time.
Pending its completion, the water for.
the city is being pumped by small
auxiliary pump which mas small capac-
ity. During the dry period the con-
sumption OF water in the city has been.
enormous, an unusual amount having
been used for lawn sprinkling. An

A FAULTY TITLE.

Grand Forks, N. D., June 27.-An il
teresting case" was on in the district
court yesterday before Judge Fisk. II
was a case in which John Murphy sued
to recover $772. Is and E. J. Lander &.
Co., abstracters Of title, for damages
as the result of an alleged faulty ah-
stract covering a piece of land in the
western part of Grand Forks county.
The plaintiff had quit claim deed Sc
cured of the original owner several
years ago. The abstract mentioned
the fact that there was a mortgage
against the land, but failed to mention
that the mortgaged had been fore
closed, as was the case. For this rea.
son the plaintiff claims the time of re-
demption expired without his discover.
ing that foreclosure proceedings had
been begun and therefore asks that he
be reimbursed the amount of his loss.
The defense claims that the face OF
the mortgage represents the full value
of the land and that the plaintiff has
suffered no loss. The arguments in
the case have not yet been made.

FIRES ON THE RANGE.

Jamestown, June 27.-For three days
a prairie fire has been raging in the
hills west of Pingree. Reports of ex-
tensive damage to the range are
brought in.
For two days fires have been burning
in. the hills and reports have been re-
ceived of the destruction of the range
at the Ruddy ranch and part of it
at the Sorenson ranch. The fires only
run where there is old grass. The
destruction of the range at this season
OF the year is quite unusual. With
rains the grass will start again and
replace the loss, it is believed.
The barn of the Chicago ranch,
which is being broken up by NJ. Rem
mon of Valley City, burned last Sat
urday. The ranch is northwest of the
city. The building was built to hold
forty head of stock.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES.

Fargo, June 27.-W. H. G. Goode, of
Casselton, has started a suit for 5000
damages against the Northern Pacific
Railway Co., Peter Ausk and Charles
Smith. The papers were served on
Agent Johnson and the other defend
ants today.
The complaint alleges that Ausk and
Smith forcibly broke open the enclos-
ure to a pasture field Of eighty acres
and plowed up and destroyed a large
part of the pasture and otherwise
greatly injured the said premises.
They also entered wheat field of
eight acres and destroyed portion of
the crop. The sum of 5000 damages
is asked, and the costs and disburse-
ments of the action. 49,
Ausk is the contractor engaged in
building a grade for the Casse1ton-
Dickey extension of the Northern Pa
cific. The suit is an outcome of the
inability of the company to secure a
right-of-way through the lands of Mr..
Goode. Smith Stimmel appears as the
attorney for the plaintiff. Thirty
days are allowed for an answer and the
case will come on for trial at the Sep
tember term Of the district court.

Minneapolis, June Ex-senator w.
D. Washburn returned last. evening
from tour over his railroad, the Bis
marck, Washburn & Great Falls,
which runs from the North Dakota
capital to the town of Wilton, some
twenty-five miles north. The trans
portation of the crop raised in that
part of the state is one of the chief
sources of. revenue for the road and
the senator's trip was particularly to
ascertain the prospects for this years
yield, although ne also desired to view
the progress of the work of opening
his new coal mine at Wilton, which he
believes will be of great benefit to his
road. - ~. ..-~>e ,3' <>S F.
1t does not seem from the report of
Mr.. Washburn that the crop outlook
in the immediate vicinity of Bismarck,
especially from the north and east, is
as bad as reported. The senator said
regarding it: :.
The crop outlook in that section of
sthe state is exceptional All spring,
and during the past two weeks espe-
cially, there have been more rains from
Bismarck north and about twenty five
miles east than in any other part OF
North Dakota. North as far as Coal
Harbor, some fifty miles, there have
also been good rains, but not as much
as just north of Bismarck, This re-
gion, week ago Sunday night, was
visited by long, heavy shower; Mon
day night there was another soaking
rain which wet the ground thoroughly
as far down as ten or twelve inches.
Here is a telegram received just a
moment ago from that territory. 1t
says: Another good rain here this
morning.
In other parts of the state, however,
the crops are practically all destroyed.
Wheat is at point where it could not
be rallied by rains, but the fax is not
so bad. Should heavy rains come this
week it is probable that the flax crop
in every part of the state would be-
about normal. There is great hone
for this in all parts of the state. There
are, however, hundreds of thousands
of acres in North Dakota that will not
ba harvested.

the use of water for sprinAling until
further notice. This will be great
hardship if the dry weather continues,
as the lawns which by liberal use of
water have been kept in good condi-
ton, will necessarily become dried up.
The order was considered necessary,
however, in view of the imperative
need of keeping liberal supply of
water in the reservoir as q reserve in
case of fire.

- NEW 1Olh, JuuS@Al.--A y new Cduul-,
date has made his appearance in the
pugilistic arena for championship hon
ors in the person of Gus Ruhlln. the
Ohio prize fighter. Ir {. sharp, snap
py battle of fifteen rounds last nignt
he knocked out Tom Sharkey, the sail
or, and relegated that gamey fighter to
the ranks of the has-beens. Sharkey
as usual was the aggressor during the
early part of the fight, but utterly
failed to infiict any material punish
ment on his opponent. Rubin used
his fright to good advantage and hal
the sailors face mass of blood al
most from the time the gong sounded
in the first round. The finish was a
dramatic one. Sharkey suffering from
the terrible punishment inflicted was
barely able to pull through the four
teenth round. When he. came up 70
the scratch on the fifteenth it was
plainly apparent he could not last until
the sounding of the gong again. Rub
lin sent terrific right to the face and
the sailor went down with a thud.
With the gameness that has character
lied all of sharkey's battles the sailor
was on his feet again in moment.
Rubin landed hard on the body and
face and Sharkey went down again.
Almost exhausted physically and dazed
mentally Sharkey staggered to his
feet and against the ropes. Rubin
closed in; on him and sent hard one
to jaw, and Sharkey went down and
practically out. He attempted to rise
to his feet again, but as he was plainly
helpless, the referee stepped in and re-
fused to allow the fight to continue,
giving the battle to the Ohioan.
When the fght>began to develop the
fact that: the sailor had met his master,
Sharkey showed a tendency to make
a rough fight and repeatedly attempted
to foul in the clinch. The crowd
uOOLeu IISSll uOdiS6 LII CllSS Ol 1Oui
but the referee declined to pay any at
tention to this and permitted the battle
to continue. In the fifteenth round
just before the final blow, Sharkey
grabbed Rubin around the waist and
tried to. keep away. from punishment
in that way, but the big Ohioan pushed
him away as if he had been a child,
and landed the blow which gave him
the second knock-down of the round.
The result, of the fight was a great
surprise to everyone present. Ruth
lin has always been ranked as a second
class fighter, and it was expected that
the sailor would make short work of
him. Before the call of time betting
was 10 to Z in favor OF sharkey.
The big crowd went wild when the
result was declared, and the cheers
for Rubin were tremendous. Both
men entered the ring in prime condi-
ton. Sharkey was clearly outclassed
and the victory was fairly and honest
ly won. People who saw the fight to-
night say that Jeffries will have the
fight of his life on his hands when he
meets Sharkey's vanquisher. ,=s
