PETRIFlED WOOD.

In cleaning up the cellar of the
Beck Clothing Company's place of
business, a stick of wood was discOv-
cred, which was unus ually heavy.
Its weight was almost as great as a
stone of equal size and on examina-
tion it was found that it was petri-
fed. The wood had been sawed into
short stove lengths, before being
thrown down in the basement. It is
supposed that the wood had been in
the cellar for many years.

lIGNlTE LITIGATION.
LAWSUIT AGAINST THE OFF.
GERS OF THE KENMARE
COAL co.

The principal officers of the Ken
mare Dry Coal Co., a corporation in
which certain Jamestown parties are
interested as stockholders, are defend
ants in suit brought in GrandForks
county by Thomas Beare. This COM
pany arranged several months ago to
sell it's property to the Dakota Fuel
Co., a New Jersey corporation, but
for some reason the deal fell through.
This action is against Edward G.
Pringle, president, j. A. Wright, Sec
retary, and Edward G. Bates, treas
urer of the Kenmare Co. The plain
tiff in his complaint alleges that in
December, 1901, he purchased $50
shares of the stock of the defendants
company, in payment for which he
transferred to them the Phillips
Block property in Grand Forks at a
stipulated price of $4,000, and also
paid 81, 900 in cash. Mr.. Beare was
induced to do this, he says, through
the representation of the defendants
that they and others had bought and
paid for large number of shares of
this stock ,and that there was in tke
treasury and available for the deve-
lopment of the company's mines $780,
600. These statements are now char
cacterized as being false and fraudu-
lent, andMr. Beare asks judgment in
favor against Messrs. Pringle, Bates
and Wright for SIS, 900 with interest
since the date of the transaction.

Great Northern Road May Face Serf'
Gus Labor Trouble.


St. Paul, A. .2ril 22.-The Great North.
ern line may not have a strike on its
hands on May !, but it may find itself
in an unpleasant position.
While the Northern Pacific and other

F. r. Ward, sent communication to
the trainmen announcing two deci-
siOns:
First-The company refused to treat

tion.
Second-The company refused to
grant any of the demands of the com.
mittee relating to increased pay for
men serving on double header trains,
or to abolish double heading, or to
grant any concessions whatever on
this issue.
Unless the road recedes from its
position negotiations between the
trainmen and the company will be
broken off at noon and the railroad
may face another labor trouble.

STRIKERS MAKE TROUBLE.
Hungarian and Polish Laborers As
sumo Threatening Attitude.

Somerville, n j., April 22.-Because
Amos D. Duke, president Of the Ameri
can Tobacco company, refused to in.
crease the wages Of several hundred
Hungarians and Poles who work on his
estate here about 100 of them have
gone on strike for an increase OF
wages. The strikers gathered at the
Raritan river bridge, armed with guns
and clubs, intending to attack the men
who had remained at work as they
crossed the bridge to their homes
John Lawson, manager of the Duke
estate, placed the men in wagons and
headed the procession for the bridge
He was held up at the entrance by a
Hungarian with gun. Lawson drew
his own revolver and covered the man,
who became frightened and lowerel
his weapon. The wagons were then
allowed to cross the bridge. The
strikers threaten to prevent the men
from returning to work and trouble is
expected.

ed first by Mrs. Bliss, who gave q
most entertaining sketch Of the work

The Characterization of "Shakes-
peare's Katherines" by Mrs. .Glaspell
was unique In several particulars. To
be able to "talk" at length before an
audience without any "visible means
of support" in the way of manuscript
or notes as did Mrs. Glaspell, is, in
deed, a most desirable accomplish
ment, and nothing could illustrate
better than did her effort the value
of such work and training as the
Wednesday club affords its members.
Mrs. Glaspell had entered so.fully
into the spirit Of the play and char
acters discussed that she was able to
present them with great power and
vividness to her audience. The grace
and fluency of her sentences, her
ease of manner, well modulated voice
and quiet conversational tone made

The scene between Princess Kath-
crime of France and her maid Alice

by Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. Chase
was very entertaining and exceedingly
well done. The ladies seemed very
much at home in speaking French,
and the two parts were we'll. sus-
tained in character and expression.
This number was preceded by few
explanatory remarks by the president
of the Wednesday club, Mrs. George
Lutz, who very appropriately intro.
duced the ladies In their respective
characters.
Dainty refreshments were served
at the conclusion Of the program;
and after an hour or two spent In
social enjoyment, the company disper-
sed, thus ending one of the most de-
lightful evenings of the year.

Battle Creek, Mich, April 22.-Ed.

death during the day. He was super
intending the erection of the Michigan

 Chihuahua Enterprise: A mag nifcent meteoric display was witnessed a few nights ago by the population of San Ignacio, a town near M "a an. It looked like heavenly lombard ment, as over fifty meteors were observed falling within fifteen minutes. One of them could plainly be seen for forty-nine seconds. This phenomenon was reported by tele- graph to the observatory in Mexico City.
 Mexican Herald: News was re- ceived here Wednesday from Des- cubridora announcing the death of Fred A. Wright, one of the best known mining men of Mexico. MT. Wright died there Saturday night of heart disease. Until few months ago he had lived in Monte rey, whence he went to Descubrido- ra and became engaged in the de- veloping of copper properties he had acquired. Mir.
