There are eleven vacancies in the Signal
Corps and nearly twice as many in the Ord
nance Corps Of the army which are to be
filed by detailing officers from other arms
Of the service for terms of four years Only
one officer has applied for detail to the Sig
nal Corps. and not a single applicant has
appeared for detail TO the Ordnance Corps
That the vacancies should be filed is evident
from the fact that there is not a single
Signal Officer on duty at any departmental
headquarters between the Atlantic and the
Pacific and that the Ordnance Corps has
been short Of officers for more than two
years, its shortage increasing continually
1t may be necessary to send officers to these
corps without their consent, thus putting
into practice a sort Of consumption, not
viewed with approval even when adopted.
Congress, in providing for the detail staff
system omitted 10 substitute anything for
the advantages which the permanent staff
system offered TO officers; the result is APP
parent in the depleted strength OF the two
corps subject to the detail systemin which
technical knowledge is most required.

A DANGEROUS MAN JAILED Boyd Had a Knife and Was Ready to
 Use It.

A very dangerous man was sent to the county jail yesterday and 1t is like ly ths- before his term of sixty days has expired he will be sent to the asy- lum. He says his name is H. A. Boyd and that he came from the Mesa coun- try. He was found along the Tempe road yesterday morning by l.. M. Hoghe, who was on his way to town. The man had large roll of bedding with him. Mir. Hoghe invited him to ride but before they had gone far MT Hoghe believed he was dealing with a lunatic On their arrival in town the man went into restaurant and MT Hoghe informed the police about him Officers Moore and Bloomhorst found him seated at the counter and enter ed into conversation with him.
 He said that the night before he stopped at a house whose proprietor was a large fat man who refused to keep him and ordered him away. Boyd pulled a big knife out of his pocket and said that his first thought was to cut the liver out of the inhospitable proprietor who turns out to be J. IT. W. Jensen. Boyd fingered about the place for awhile and when nobody was watching him he went to the rear ot the house and finding q door unlocked he entered There was bed in the room and being tired and sleepy he got into it. He rather expected that he would he i1terfered with some time in the night by the big fat man but then he had his knife ready and had his mind fully made up to use it. He was not disturbed though and about day light having finished his sleep he got I'D rolled the bcd-clothing up and took it away.
 The man gave his knife up to Officer Moore without resistance and when the officer told him that he would have to take him to jail he went along without protest. He was taken before Justice Burnett who gave him 60 days in the county jail.

DEANS ERROR
Up to Certain Point he Had the Best
 Of the Game.

Ed. Dean, a comparative stranger in the city was arrested yesterday af- ternoon on q charge of grand larceny. The warrant for his arrest was sworn out of Justice Burnett's court. His pre- liminary examination was set for ten o'clock on Monday and his bond was fixed at $3O0. Though amply able to give if he preferred to go to jail.
 Dean is an invalid. He lives with his wife in house just east of the Star lodging house. His principal occupa- tion is that of a gambler. He is an inveterate faro player but unlike most players he has managed to keep ahead of the game. His winnings to date and he has net been in town very long amount to about $1,2OO. He keeps a part of his money in the bank and gives his wife the rest of it.
 On the day before Christmas he was playing out of luck. His losing amounted to $159 and he gave the pro prietor of the game a check for that amount. The check was drawn on the Phoenix National bank and was made payable 10 cash
 It was presented at the bank yester- day morning and payment was refus- ed The holder of the check sent q messenger to see Dean yesterday morning. Dean gave him no satisfac- tion but told him to send the man who had the check down and there might be something done about it.
 The holder went 10 Deans house and was met with a general proposition for compromise. He finally said that he would give $75 for the check. The cffer was accepted and Dean asked for the check. As socn as it was handed 10 him he tore it into small pieces, say ing: "Now it is not worth anything: l'lb give you nothing for it."
 It was at this point that he made mistake. Before this he was all right. The check had been given for a gam bling debt which could not have been collected. But whatver it was worth it was net Deans property and when he destroyed it he committed a crime and his arrest followed

Proceedings Being Started to
Prevent Chippewa Pine
Sale.

A suit in equity enjoining Sec

Allen Hitchcock from further
proceedings in selling the pine
lands on the Chippewa Indian
reservation is being prepared in
Washington. The complainant
in the suit is Gus Beaulieu, who
has employed firm Of Washing
ton lawyers to commence an in
junction suit in the supreme
court in the District Of Colum bia
to prevent Mr.. Hitchcock from
selling the pine. Mr.. Beaulieu
proposes to test the legality of
the act Of June 81, 1902, which
provides that the expense Of cut
ting the timber shall come out of
the proceeds of the sale. Beau
lieu has been agitating the ques-
ton for a long time, and tits said
that he has support from certain
lumbermen who are anxious to
tie up the sale.

Old Enough to Know Better.

robbed Of $40 by Mrs. Noble
Mccoy, a Crookston woman, who
has gained considerable noteriety
throughseveral recent escapades.
The pair had occupied adjoining
rooms and until the East Grand
Forks man lost the money he
was of the opinion that Mrs.
Mccoy was a charming woman.
He would very much like to re-
cover the money but objected to
swearing out a warrant on &C
count of the notoriety he would
receive. In the meantime Mrs.
Mccoy has left town. The East
Grand Forks man is grey headed
and evidently old enough to know
better.

Or. Blakeslee Left Last Night
to Establish Rigid
Quarantine.
CANADIAN SOUTHWESTERN RY.
PASSES UP THE TOWN.
County Physician Must Travel
Over 400 Miles to Get to
Scene of Trouble.

The thriving little village OF
Reaudette in the northwestern
part of Beltrami county is just
now ostracised from the outside
world so far as communication is
concerned by reason of the de
yelopment of several cases OF
smallpox. The freight and pas
senger trains of the Canadian
Southwestern have been running
through the city without stop
ping and just what the situation
is will not be known until DR..
Blakeslee, the county physician,
returns from a trip on which he
started last night.
DR.. Blakeslee received a tele-
gram yesterday from DR.. Backen.
asking him to investigate the
smallpox at Beaudette, DR..
Bracken's attention had been
called to the situation by the
Canadian health authorities at
Ottawa. Only one case was re-
ported but the probabilities are
that there are several. DR..
Blakeslee will establish a rigid
quarantine before returning.
Beaudette had quite a serious
epidemic of smallpox last winter
and several trips were necessi-
tated on the part Of the county
physician. At this season of the
year the trip must be made via
Winnipeg and the distance is
over 400 miles.

The menu will include turkey,

toothsome dainties that usually
find favor in the best of homes.
There are twenty prisoners at
the Jail and they will all enjoy the
holiday by refraining from all
work except that which is abso-
lutely necessary. No one who
has ever enjoyed Sheriff Bailey's
hospitality on occasions of this
kind ever had cause to complain
and he will give the prisoners a
dinner tomorrow that will com
pare favorably with any Thanks

Evidence in EneYOld Murder
Case Was Finished Yes
terday Afternoon.
ATTORNEY HALL MAKES ELO-
QUENT PLEA FOR ACQUITTAL
General Opinion is That Chances
of Accused For AcquittaI
are Very Good.

The taking of evidence in the
Enev0ld murder case which has
been on trial at Walker, before
the Cass county district court,
was completed yesterday and the
case went to the jury late last
night.
The trial has been attended by
large crowds daily and the ca
pacity of the court house was
taxed last night to hear the clos
ing pleas of the prosecution and
defense in the case. Attorney
Albert B. Hall, who defended
Eneyold, made an eloquent plea
for acq initial and those who have
heard the celebrated Minneapolis
criminal attorney in several cases
in this section say that he Has
never made a better argument
or more eloquent effort than he
addressed to the jury in closing
the case last night. Mr.. Hall
dwelt muchupon the unfortunate
circumstances that led up to the
shooting, the crippled condition
of the defendant and taken all
in all made a talk that had a
visible effect on every member
of the jury. The accused man
was in court while the plea was
made and listened with the great
est interest.
The state also made strong
presentation of it's case. The
general opinion at Walker is that
the case went to the jury with a
great deal of evidence regarding
the circumstances attending the
shooting that would warrant the
jury in returning a verdict of not
guilty. The plea of the defense
was self defense. The case went
to the jury late last night and it
was still out at last accounts.

Great Force in Unions.

Trades unions are the greatest con-
servative force in the industrial world
to-day. Employers should be careful
not to attempt to crush them, for If
they should succeed in their attempt
they would drive the conservative
trades unionists into the ranks of the
radicals and there would be great
upheaval."
In these words Graham H. Taylor,
head of the Chicago Commons, ad.
vised employers to foster labor organ
izations and support labor leaders in
an address delivered before the Bank
ers' club. Prof. Taylor spoke on the
subject of "A Clearinghouse for the
Industrial Situation"
employers are now exercising
their right to form combinations" he
said, land l believe the labor unions
are glad to see them combine. The
intelligent union man recognizes the
fact that combination is the law of
progress. am in favor of the forma-
ton of an organization of capital
