DISMISSAL. RECOMMENDED.

The St. Paul Globe Washington
Correspondent says that the depart
ment of justice has recommended that
Col. Melvin Grigsby of South Dakota,
U. S. District Attorney at Nome, be
dismissed from the service. The case
has been under consideration for
long time and the evidence is said to
have been overwhelming. "The most
serious charge" says the Globe, is that
Grigsby accepted retainer of $4,000
from the Pioneer Mining Company in
1902, ostensib]y f,r legal services but
in reality as a bribe. Grigsby has
been trying to disprove this by EN-.
ploying able lawyers before the de.
partment, but was unable tn do so.
The president has postponed taking
action in the case and some of the
Colonel S Dakota friends will endeayor
to subStantiate the claim that the
findings of the department are not
warranted by the evidence.

been decided by the land office at
Bismarck in favor of Mr.. Weld the

STATE GAME WARDEN's REPORT.

From the report of State Game
Warden Hale to the governor it is
seen that there was an increase OF
2,4l5 hunting permits last year over
1902.
The total fees for 1903 amounted to
So, 963.50, against &::,9l5.50 in 1902, an
increase Of $3.Ois.
The receipts of 1903 were distributed
as follows: Game warden, 5000 O5;
state s1,392.70; deputy wardens, s2,.
7S5.40; county auditors, s6y935. Dur.
ing l90a the state received s783 10, and
during 1908, $l,592.7O, an increase OF
S6O96O.
There were tWenty-one arrests dur
ing the year for violations of the game
laws, and fines aggregating 1913 were
collected, which costs amounting 10
$l36.15, total Of S449.15.
The difficulty Of securing good and
reliable deputies in the various dis
trictS is referred to in the wardens
report. Spring shooting OF both ducks
and geese is recommended To be pro-
hibited, also the sale OF game birds
and the use Of magazine guns as they
are game exterminators and not sport
mems guns. Non-residents should pay
a fee Of s25 a year whether they own
land in the state or not. North ua-
kota is one Of the best game states in
the union and the experience of other
states must be regarded If we are 10
protect and keep our game. Tie
warden would also make it a misde-
meaner to loan hunting permit to
either resident or Nonresident.

REBUILDING TMf Mill.

Valley City Times Record: Work
is progressing on the foundation for
the mill, and it is thought that by the
first Of March construction Of the
framework car be commenced. The
plans have been changed and it will
be q larger mill than was announced.
The contracts call for q mill Of 800
barrels daily capacity. 1t will be the
largest mill in the state and will have
a greater capacity than the Grand
Forks mill. II the mill is operated tr
its capacity 1t will use a million bush.
els of wheat yearly, which is about
double the amount annually marketed
at Valley City, and good deal will
have to be shipped In.
It will also be the best wheat
market IN the country, and in that
way will help the farmers living in
this vicinity.
A new and novel feature about the
construction Of this mill is the fact
that ball bearings will be used where
ever possible. Practically all the
machinery installed will have these
bearings, and it is claimed that this
will effect great saving in power.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The war de.
partment has issued orders for the
entire Third regiment of infantry to
proceed to the Isthmus of Panama.
The regiment will leave at the earliest
possible time on the transports Sum-

The headquarters of the regiment is
at Fort Thomas, Ky, where are sta

to retire with an advance rank.
The war department has in the past
strenuously denied reports that it in
tended to send troops to the isthmus,
but it is now explained that statement
only applied to conditions as they ex.
listed before the United States acquir-
ed vested rights through the acquisi-

WILTON MINERS STRIKE.

The miners at the Washburn mines
have walked out and demanded the
recognition by the company of the
miners union There is no further de-
mand made upon the company in the
shape Of decrease in hours or increase
in pay.
During the strike of the miners in
Pennsylvania an organizer was sent
ont by the union to organize the
miners of the Washburn mine and an
organization was effected. A demand
was then made upon the Washhurn
Lignite Coal company in whose EN-.
ploye the new organized miners were
for the recognition of the union.
The demand was turned down and
the miners struck. Considerable of a
demonstration was made by them
when new men were imported to take
their places, many Of the newcomers
when they found out what was ex-
pected Of them refused to 60 to work
and the greater part of them returned
to Bismarck as best they could. At
one time it was rumored in Bismarck
that the militia would be called upon
to quiet things at the mines.
Trouble was averted, however, and
the mines resumed operation after
considerable effort and trouble for the
operators.
The men seem to have deemed the
present inability Of coal companies
throughout the state to deliver coal
promptly, owing to the blockades of
the various railroads, as a good time
to again reiterate their former de-
mandS and have struck.
The recent snow has caused a great
stringency Of coal in many places and
if the trouble at the Wilton mines is
not soon adjusted the situation in
several localities will be very serious.
Contractors at Bismarck who have
been furnishing the penitentiary with
coal have been forced to buy hard coal
with which to fill their contracts and
have been at a considerable loss there

it disappeared. He came to the city

six OF the parties were arrested, two
Of whom were convicted and confined
In the jail for ten days. Today the
other four appeared before Justice

INVESTMENT OF PORT ARTHUR.
Russians Assert Japanese Cannot
Take the Town.

St. Petersburg. Feb. 24.-Speaking
on the subject Of the possible invest
ment of Port Arthur the military au-
thoritites here do not believe the Jap
anese will attempt to make landing
in force on the Liaotung peninsula.
The former say there is nothing the
Russians would like better, as such
an attempt is doomed to certain fail
ure. The authorities here assert that
the southern portion Of the peninsula
is strongly guarded and that the
northern shore presents insuperable
obstacles. The only chance of the
Japanese, it is claimed would be
marching down from Korea; but to
this, it is added, they must first defeat
the Russian army on this side of the
Yalu river, and, even if successful
they would be face to face with an
impregnable stronghold.

NOT YET BEATEN At SEA.
Russians Said to Be Planning a Sur.
prise for Japs.

Peking, Feb. 2i.-Advices from New
chwang, Where a number of Admiral
Alexieff's principal officers are quar-
tered, represent the Russians as rid
iculing the idea that the menace of
the Japanese army is so great that
the cars troops must fall back to
Harbin to avoid a disastrous envelop-
ing movement,
It is said that the Russians are pre-
pairing to contest every foot of ground
against any Japanese attempt to oc-
cupy Manchuria, and that in due time
they will drive the mikado's soldiers
out of Korea. It is hinted that when
Korea has been cleared the Russians
will take fitting measures against
those Korean officials who are now
smoothing the way for the Japanese
advance. Russia, according to the
Newchwang coterie, is not yet van
quished at sea-a fact events in the
near future are likely to demonstrate.
This intimation is regarded as indicat.
ing that the Russians are planning to
lull the Japanese into false sense of
security and then to make sudden
attack on their transports.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 24.-"The war
will end in August or September, in

said a high authority in intimate touch
with the Russian war plans, whose
opinion can be taken faithfully to re-
feet the belief in the highest official
quarters. He added:
How the Japanese can hope to sue
ceed when our army in the East is
strengthened to point equal or supe-
rior in numbers to that of our adver
saries we are honestly unable to CON-
prehend. 1t will not be difficult to
place two. four or even six hundred
thousand men in the field, if necessary.
When our forces are concentrated and
ready they will finish by driving the
Japanese into the sea. Frankly, it
seems to us that the Japanese either
have utterly failed to appreciate Rus.
sia's resources, or have counted on
the aid of Great Britain or the United
States, neither of which ever contem-
plated becoming involved"

WOULD WRECK THE
N. p. FLYER
known Parties Attempt to Wreck the West
Bound North Coast Limited on the N. p.
Last Saturday Night--RaiI Removed to Cause
Ditchng of the Train--Purpose Probably
Robbery---Story of Attempt on Page Three.

The identity of the men who at
tempted to ditch No. last Saturday
has not yet been disclosed, although
untiring efforts have been made to
find them. 1t is believed il they
stuck to their team and continued
travelling that their recapture is very
probable. 1t is stated at Medina that
the snow OF Saturday night had blown
to an extent that IL covered up trails,
and that no certain clue from track
ing in the snow was to be had.
1t is limited that revelation Of a
surprising nature may be made in a
few days. The reward OF $1,000 for
the arrest and conviction vi Lne part
les will stimulate lively search for
the culprits.
The reports that the parties had
been seen northwest of New Rockford
turned out to he a blind lead. The
deputy sheriff from Sheyenne and the
sherifis from New Rockford and Fes-
senden made careful search
for a distance of 35 miles west
Of New Rockford but no trace Of
the outfit was 70 be found. The OFF,
cefs ran acrosss each other in their
chase after the supposed fugitives.
A number of different theories are
advanced as to the authorship Of the
crime. The chief detective of the
road went TO Medina yesterday and
one of the company's men from
Livingston, Mont, also arrived to
help in the case. 1t is not consider
ed possible that the criminal or crimi-
nails will get away and it maybe only
short time before some positive
proof is established.
There is a good deal of gossip about
the presence of set OF lawless char
acters living in the western part OF
the county and their alleged connec
ti0n with missing horses and re brand
ed stock, the disappearance Of other
property, etc. 1t may be that the
work was that OF some unprofessiOnal
railroad wreckers. The belief is also
advanced that who ever knocked oil
the bolt and misplaced the rail has
been used to railroad work.
Steps are being taken in the matter
Of discovering the perpetrators Of the
attempted railroad wreck at Medina,
and it is expected that something
more definite in the way OF proof as to
the guilty parties will be learned soon,
than has been so far discovered. Last

Seeriff Eddy and others, came in from
Medina and complaints were sworn
out by Hanson against Richard Kanan
and Joe Kanan, two Syrians who re-
side south Of Medina on land they own.
The complaint charges the men with
assault on the person Of Levi Hanson,
with dangerous weapons, namely
knives and spike-maul. Sheriff Eddy
and the detectives left to make the
arrests and bring the men to the city
for hearing and they are expected to-
night.
1t is understood that they are rela-
tives of Joe Marat, the Syrian who
resides on quarter section of land
south of Windsor, and who had his
peddlers pack raided at the beer party
as reported last week. Marat has
lived south OF Windsor for some three
years and his wife who resides in a
small village near Jerusalem, is ex-
pecting to join him in the spring or as
soon as she can dispose of piece of
land in the Holy Land country, He
also has sister at Bisbee in this state.
The Kanans, and five other Syrians
are said to have resided south Of Me-
dina for shorter time and to be liv-
ing in one house "batching" it, with
out the society OF wives or any other
women. They have section of land
and are said to engage in peddling in
summer and to have quite stock of
peddler's goods.
Marks on Hanson show cuts on the
top Of the head, and cuts across the
fingers of the left hand. None very
serious. Hanson says he believes that
he can identify his assailants as they
appeared 10 him to be dark complec-
toned men, looking like Indians, al
though they spoke English.
The work of following up the clues
and attempting to verify the story OF
the section man may be more ener-
getically pushed by those in charge Of
the case hereafter, as all attempts to
locate the blame on others than the
unknown parties referred to by Han
son have so far proved unsuccessful.
The people who know Hanson best,
claim that his story is the most prob
able explanation of the affair. The
railroad company is receiving consid-
cradle information about the identity
and record of several parties who re-
side in the vicinity Of Medina, con-
cerning whom, rumors Of various
shady transactions have been heard
OF late.
