Charged with Highway Robbery.

A few days ago a negro named
Seph Swoard, on his way to Dyers-
burg with a load Of lumber, alleges
that he was met in the road about
two miles south Of town by two men,
their wives and boy about 20 years
of age. The men gave their names
as Crowley and O'Neal, and had
some old horses and mules. The
men accOsted the negro, so he relates,
and offered to trade one of their
mules for the negro's horse, to which
the negro answered that he would
not give a dollar for the difference
between his horse and both mules
owned by the white men. The white
men thereupon said they would
trade any way, the negro SAYS, and
proceeded to take his horse. When
he protested one Of the white men
drew his knife, and threatened to
kill him, to avoid which the negro
says he fled, going to Dyersburg on
his remaining horse. He swore out
replevin writ for his horse and
State warrants for O'Neal and Cron-
ley, charging them with highway
robbery, The sheriff overhauled the
men at Fowlkes, in Dyer county,
with the Negroes horse. On the hear
ing of the case, Squire Fowlkes gave
Judgment in favor of the plaintiff
for the horse, and bound both white
men over on the charge of highway
robbery, fixing their bond at $500
each, in default of which they were
committed to Jail.

ed that Mr.. A. II. Bell, q druggist
from Brainerd, was in the city on a
short visit with his parents and
friends. Mr.. Belll's pleasure trip
has developed into one of business,
and it will be but a very short time
when he will be numbered among the
business men of Devils Lake. Like
many other newcomers it took only a
glance at our rapidly growing and
prospering young city, to conclude
that Devils Lake has a bright business
future before it, and he at once re-
solved to locate here, and establish
himself in the drug business, which
vocation he has successfully followed
for nearly fifteen years.
Mr.. Bell has secured lease of the
second store room in the new Brennan
block and will open his place as soon
as he can arrange his business affairs
at Brainerd, where he is now located,
and gets his fixtures and stock here

To those of our citizens who for a

President Roosevelt on his visit to
the Twin Cities, the news of his
abandonment of the trip will come as
an unpleasant surprise. But the
change of the presidents travelling
program was made necessary as re-
suit of the recent trolly accident at
Pittsfeld, Mass, in which he was a
prominent actor and received num-
ber of serious bruises. One Of these
on the left leg between the knee. and
ankle, developed into an abscess and
his surgeon decided upon an opera
tion, which was performed yesterday.
The president will require at least
ten or twelve days absolute rest,, and
all of his western trip engagements
have necessarily had to be cancelled.

DEVILS LAKE & NORTHERN.
Or the Farmers Railroad Completed at
Last to Starkweather.

Devils Lake Inter.Ocean.
What was considered an impossible
ity few years ago is now a reailza-
tion. This is the completion of the
Farmers or Devils Lake & Northern
railway. The track is now laid to
Starkweather "a miles north from
this city. When the movement was
inaugurated few years ago for the
building of this line into one of the
best, if not the very best agricultural
districts of the northwest, 1t had is
opponents. This was the cause of much
delay, and it took months and months
of hard work to overcome the opposi-
tion that was secretly waged against
the road. Then too, there were peopld
who knew of so many attemptee
efforts of farmers in various districts
of the country, to build short railway
lines, that it was taken by these
people as granted that the co, templat-
ed would never be completed. How
ever Messrs. Kelly, Sorenson,v and
Maher spent months and months of
work organizing the movement which
has resulted today in the building by
farmers capital, of the only road of
it's kind in the world. This speaks
highly of the resources of county,
when the farmers of a section of
country adjacent to the "a miles of
line are able and willing to subscribe
nearly 100000 in order to enable
them to more easily move their crops
to the great markets of the world.
There is still little surfacing to be
done on this road and some work at
the sidings, but this will be complet-
ed in not more than a week. The
town of Starkweather and Webster
continue t. boom.

Devils Lake Inter-Ocean.
It is stated on good authority that
the freight division of the Great
Northern Railway will be moved to
this city as soon as the improvements
now in process of construction are
completed. This will be the cause
Of at least fifteen train crews moving
to this city, which means at least 100
people. It is also rumored, as coming
from good authority, that the Great
Northern will build it's Aneta branch
into this city in the very near future.
This means that the line would run
direct from Wahpeton and Broken
ridge to this city and would save
several hours time for the coast trains
When this is accomplished, Devils
Lake will be one of the chief railroad
towns of the state;.

ers is in the city and besides looking
after his business affairs he finds time
occasionally to tell of his experiences
Ewhile in Office. He was returning
Ehome one night from Mandan in COM
Epany with party of friends. Upon
reaching Valley City two hunters en-
tered the car, and were seated in close
proximity with the warden. There is
absolutely nothing more natural than
to ask hunter "what luck he had"
and no exception to this rule was
made by Mr.. Bowers. Fine, good,
excellent, - came the reply, and the
strangers soon found themselves en-
gagged with their acquaintance in an
interesting controversy, which drifted
from one subject to another. "Well, :"

towards Fargo, and when the engine
whistle reminded of the next stop,
George reached in his vest pocket and
dug up an old card, containing his
name and official standing, and hand
ed it to the stranger, who gave his
snap away. There was CONSERVATION
galore, and explanation and excuses
followed in rapid succession, but the
officer of the law had a "tin ear, /"
and invited the hunters to stay over

next morning.
