United States Senator Stephen r.

sale of the West Virginia Central to
the Wabash for about S18, 900, 900
Senator Elkins practically controlled
the road.
For some months he has been in
vesting in territory in all sections OF
West Virginia, and his holdings are
more extensive than the whole West
Virginia Central territory. There is
hardly county In the state ia which
he has not made investments. He
has been directing his attentions es-
peeially TO Wheeling, parkersburg
and Morgantown. He is interested in
nearly every new line in West Vir-
ginia. A few months ago he started
the Security Trust Company at Wheel
ing, now about ready for business.
He also has extensive interests in the
Wheeling Traction Company and the
West Virginia Bridge & Construction
Company at Morgantown. His in
vestments presage the most extensive
developments.

to be built out of his own purse to
reach his extensive coal tracts His
coal and coke holdings and bank

Morgantown alone aggregate So, 000,.

largely in Wabash railroad connec-
tions.
Senator Elkins' sons are helping him
manage his big Interests. His mining
interests in the west are worth many
millions.

of $50, 900, 900.

News from Falrmont today is to
the effect that the University Glee
Club received very shabby deal at
Fairmont last night. There were
but 81 people in the Opera House and
the receipts footed up the grand total
of $36. rs. Fairmont seems unable To
get over the old and unworthy feeling
of petty jealousy of Mergantown.

eored every number and the club was

afternoon caused a fire which

of the brick structure. The fire

it was noticed, the angry flames
were beyond control. Spectators

c6rned in and the hose cart was
rushed to the confagration. A
strong stream OF water was turn
ed on and the building was saved
from the entire destruction. Most
OF the cigars were saved but the
water destroyed many OF the
fixtures OF the cigar factory which
was located in one part OF the
building. Mr.. Hawley lost nearly
all OF his household goods. He
was away from home at the time
OF the fire, Mr.. Olson, who owns
the building, had 5000 insurance
on it-more than enough to pay
for the loss.

Would Not Pay in MinOt.

VIM. Herberger who started a
livery barn here last year, is now
connected with the flax fibre mill
at Lakota. The mill is portable
and is not very expensive. The
farmers are paid two dollars a
ton for their flax when they haul
it in, or fifty cents a ton when
taken from the field. The mill
bought the flax straw from 100
acres on the Whipple & Barrett
farm. After running the straw
through the mill twice, it is ship
ped east where most OF it is made
into upholstering. material. Mr..
Herberger does not believe that
such a mill will pay here as there
is not enough fax raised close to
town.

WAR BETWEEN
GRAIN BUYERS
The Minot Grain Buyers Have Been Paying
Twelve Cents More Bushel Than Buy.
ers Id Other Towns.

The grain buyers of this city
have been doing some nice stunts
at buying the past few days, ac-
cording to the notion Of the far
mer. They have been paying five
cents a bushel higher for flax
than list price and the price on
other grain accordingly. They
cannot make quite as much mon
ey at this rate and one even hint
ed that some were bound to lose
a little but the farmers do not
stop to question that fact. They
are coming to Minot every day
from many miles around for they
can get ten or twelve cents more
a bushel here. One man who
hauled a load to Lansford, upon
hearing what was offered him,
turned around and came straight
to MinOt. He was rewarded for
his long drive byreceiving twelve
cents a bushel more for his flax.
The Burlington buyers have been
Offering nearly as much as the
Minot buyers offered. Farmers,
these are facts. Come to Minot
and get more for your grain.

Duffy Stole Whiskey.

James Duffy, a car repairer in
the Great Northern yards thoug-
hit best to enforce theprohibition
law OF the state, 50 broke into
several cars and took what whis-
key there was handy. James
didn't care for anything else, he
just had mania for whiskey.
Great Northern detectives Hanna
and Delaney caused his arrest
Saturday night and the unlucky
Duffy confessed all. The detec-
tives learned OF the wrong do ings
of Duffy through a greasy glove
and some waste which were found
near an empty whiskey case.
James had carelessly thrown his
glove down after swiping the
whiskey and bought a new one
which he wore although it came
far from matching the old glove.
The detectives noticed this and
suspected Duffy at once. Duffy
had carried on the nefarious work
for sometime and he says he stole
in all 65. half pint bottles OF whis-
key including a case OF Frazer's 5
best.

FLYER WRECKED AT HARVEY
Engineer Merton Sticks at bis Post and ID
Nearly Kllled-Esgine and Baggage Car
on Their Sides.

The 500 Flyer, north bound,
was wrecked at Harvey about
1:3O o'clock Friday morning.
The engineer, Norton, was very
badly injured, though his injuries
are not necessarily fatal. The
Flyer was pulling into Harvey
at the same time that light en-
gine was backing to the tank for
water. The engineer of the light
engine saw the Flyer coming but
too late. The water was nearly
exhausted in the light engine and
although the levers were reversed
Immediately, the engine was SO
nearly dead that the engineer
could not get it away in time. The
Flyers engine struck the coalcar
OF the light engine. The Flyers
engine was thrown nearly from
the track. 1t lodged on it's side.
The baggage car also left the
track but the vestibule cars re-
manned on the track. The pas
sengers received a severe shaking
up but no one in the cars were
seriously injured. The engineer
was buried beneath the wreck
and his legsustained a compound
fracture. His head was badly
cut and his system received a Sc
we're shock. The fireman was not
injured. The engineer OF the light
locomotive jumped in time to
save himself from any injury.
The shock broke the coupling OF
the light engine and it VENT down
the track but soon died. Norton
was brought to this city and is
receiving attention at the county
hospital. Ed. Bryans, the Ward
County Stockman, was on the
train and received a slight injury
to his leg. Another passenger
also had his foot hurt.

More Stolen Goods.

Great Northern detectives

another consignment OF the
goods stolen from the box cars,
which Mr.. Rowan bought from
the theieves. In this lot were ten
horse collars, two sacks Of coffee,
nine silk waists and other groce-
ries. Sheriff Scofeld now has
stored in a room in the court
house nearly 81, 900 worth Of
stolen goods, enough to start a
good sized department store.
