over the train, robbed him of $50 and
threw him off and that he laid along the
track for two days east of Allard. The
story Is not credited: %
The case now presents some interest
ing phases. After the battle man

taken to Wibaux. Coroner Foster TOOK
Smallwood there and held an inquest.
Smallwood Unidentified him as one of the
robbers.
When the robbery was attempted, two
men entered the car while one stood guard
at the door. The man at the door could
not have been injured, and If the dead:
man was robber, then either Kingsman
or Wilson is innocent The officers now
believe that Smallwood made a mistake
when he identified the dead man as one
of the robbers, and that he was one of
the six harvesters who has not yet been.

tempt made to establish his indemnity.
Wilson, who was last arrested, says his

The railroad people are not talking

but good authority says there will be
not less than 10000. The stock Is taken
thru from Evarts to Chicago In thirty
hours, passenger time being made by the

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 17.-President Worst
and his associates on the faculty of the
North Dakota Agricultural college, are
greatly disappointed over the failure to
secure the buildings planned this summer.
The college has advance dso rapidly that
the buildings and equipments have been
inadequate to accommodate all those VINO
wished to take advantage Of the training
there. Arrangements will be made to
economic as much as possible on room
during the coming session with hope for
better things next year.
Suggestions regarding some way out OF
the difficulty arising from the supreme
court decision on the bond issue are
numerous. The popular ndea Is to call a
special session of the legislature and en-
act some measure that will help the state
institutions out Of the position In which
they are placed, but the lateness Of the
season will prevent the erection OF con-
templated buildings till next year, any
way, and there seems to be no rush for the
special session.
Another objection to an extra asession
| IS the extra expense. Governor White, 1t
| is said, will soon take the matter up.

! culture has shown It's appreciation of the
excellent work Of Professor J. H.. Shep-
