"Roomers" Are Many.

Fargo Call: Those who are in a
position to know whereof 'hev aver
make the statement that never in the
history of the city OF Fargo has there
been so many "roomers" and street
walkers" as at the present time. 1t is
believed that this condition IS the out
growth, in a measure of the closing of
the houses in the tenderloin district
These unfortunate women know just
as we'll as the authorities and the pub
lie that the securing of evidence
against them while scattered through
out the city is not easily obtained. Its
an unfortunate condition for which
the police authorities are not to
blame

KILLED FATHERS STOCK.
stutsman County Boy Killed His
Fathers Stock Because He DisIiked

Fathers Stock Because He DisIiked
to Herd.
J. w. Pearson, Stutsman county
ranchman, has lost about $500 worth
of stock, said to have been killed by
his adopted son, Wesley Pearson, be-
cause the boy said he did not want to
herd them.
Last Sunday the first dead animal
was found, then as they began to drop
off mysteriously it was thought from
disease, until in opening calf to dis
cover it's malady bullet was found.
Then men were placed on distant hill
tops armed with field glasses, but
they could detect no one shooting cat
tie, while at the same time one or
more would fail to come home with
the herd at night, and later were
found to have been shot.
Veterinarian and Constable L. c.
L'Moore of this city was called in to
examine the alleged sick stock and
made an examination which convinc-
ed him that the herder was doing the
work. He got the boy in the "sweat
box" who after a time confessed he
had done it to avoid herding and
later disclosed rifle on hill side and
a shot gun in a slough, the guns and
ammunition having been stolen from
a claim shanty five miles away.
The boy strenuously denied doing
the shooting until he was strongly
threatened. Then he drove Mr.
L'Moore to where the guns were hid
den, wading into a slough to get the
shot gun hidden beneath two feet OF
water. Wesley is about 13 years OF
age and is said to have been born Of
unknown parents. For a time he was
brought up and later adopted by Mr.
Pearson, who gave the boy some stock
for his own. None Of these the boy
shot. Mr.. Pearson may decide to have
the boy sent to the reform school al
800 worth of stock is too much tc
lose-in one summer.

has usually been the custom among
our city merchants to unload theil
heavy boxes on the sidewalks in front

heavy boxes is one of the greatest
causes of damage to cement sidewalks
and hereafter, in order to preserve ou1
new walks, this custom should be
abandoned. Have the boxes unloaded
in the rear of the store and remove
the goods from them there"
