They Organize to Fight the Demands
of Growers for Higher Prices.

BAY CITY, Mich. Nov. 26-Eleven sugar
companies of Michigan and Ohio were
represented at the conference of beet sugar
manufacturers in this city to-day. The at
tendance was not as large as expected.
The most important matter considered was
the PROPOSITION to organize all the COM
panies of the States into an association for
self-protection. This is intended to meet
the demands of growers for an increase in
the price for sugar beets. A committee,
consisting of w. l.. Churchill, r. Thomas
Cranage. Benjamin Boutelle and b. r
Hathaway was appointed To draft a con-
stitution and bylaws for an association
of the nature discussed and TO submit the
same TO the Michigan companies.
The meeting discussed the question of
legislation and the threatened movement
by the sugar refining companies for the
abolition of the tariff on sugar 1t was
unanimously decided that no delegation
representing Michigan factories as a whole
would be sent to the convention of Amer

epidemic last summer. The action was
in reality for the balance he claims to
be due him for the month of May, but
on the outcome Of the suit will depend
the amount he will be allowed for the

been a controversy between the county
attorney and DR.. Duegan for some

North Dakota Farmers Will De Pre-.
pared for Winter.
The past week has been the most Ia
ycrable this fall for threshfng, and the
faces of the farmers, which were
heightened out considerably on account
of the poor prospects, are now smiling.
The weather has been all that could be
asked, the air being dry and the wind,
while not strong enough to interfere
with work, has been sufficient to cry
out the grain which has been soaked
by the late rains. We may reasonably
hope for two or three weeks of this
kind Of weather, and If this is granted,
there will be comparatively little of the
crop left unthreshed. The bad weather
has undoubtedly resulted in great dam
age, as the grain, which was soaked
through, has been injured in quality;
but the farmers will be well satisfied If
they can thresh the greater part of
what they have, and, even with the de-
pdeciation, they will make a handsome
profit on the years, operations. There
will be an abundance of feed of all
kinds, stock will be well cared for, and
the state will go into winter quarters IN
good shape.

Larimore, N. D., Oct. 29.-Last evening
Toilet Halverson and Christ Sandland
were riding from Park River to Larimore
on a freight train. While getting out
OF a car at Junction. two miles west OF
here. they were met by two masked men
who ordered them to throw up their
hands. Sandland, instead of complying.
started to run. He was fired at twice,
but he continued running. One Of the
robbers took after him and upon catching
him placed the revolver against his neck
and fired. The highwaymen then led
their two victims out half a mile on the
prairie, where they went through them.
The robbers took $25 from Halverson and
$23 from Sandland. The latter also had
a certified check for $3.50. 1t is believed
the highwaymen came down on the same
train and knowing that Christ had this
money expected to secure 1t, not know
ing he had purchased a certified check.
Sandland will probably die. His relatives
live at Park River, and are quite prom

Divorce Granted, but ON the WOm-

Sioux Falls, s. D., Oct. 29.-Fred Geb-
hard, for years the close friend of
Mrs. Langtry, was given a surprise
when the hearing of his suit for divorce
came up in court Saturday. Gerhard
secured his liberty. but not in the way
he desired, for the divorce was granted
to Mrs. Gerhard, who. before her mar
rage, was Louise Morris, a belle of
Baltimore. Judge Jones, before whom
the hearing in the case was held, de-
cided that Gerhard instead of Mrs.
Gerhard was guilty of willful desertion.
In Gebhard's divorce suit, which was
filed on Sept. 80 last, he charged his
wife with having deserted him in Sep
TENDER, 1899. Mrs. Gerhard, accompa-
MED by her mother, Mrs. Morris of Bal
timore, arrived here Saturday. Soon
after her arrival she filed a cross-bill.
in which she charged that it vas she
and not her husband who had been de-
serted. Gerhard replied to this, deny
ing the allegations.
