and Had to BE Elected.
WADENA, NN.-Three low negro
women. inspired by the contents Of a
black bottle, created much excitement
and disgust on a. Northern Pacific pas
senger train. They directed their atten-;
ton particularly to a very modest and
quiet young lady, and abused her shame
fully. Some Of the passengers assisted
the train crew in ejecting the women
from the day car. Travelling men, who
were on the train, assert that the train
crew did not act with sufficient prompt
ness. and have filed complaints to that
effect with officials Of the road. They
say it was the most disgusting and re-
voting scene they ever witnessed.
Three unsuccessful attempts at burg
larry were made In Wadena this week.
The residences Of J. A. sedgwick, G. r.
Kapler and E. R. Smith were visited, but
