Unusual Case Reported From Minot
Where Barlow Is Infected With
..,@ Horse Disease.

Minot Optic: Orland D. Barlow,
aged 40 years, who resides with his
father-in-law, Cyrus Francis Iat 3a8
Bowers avenue, this city is dying by
inches with that dreaded disease
known to the medical profession as
glanders. #
Barlow has been i'll with this pois-
onous infection for the past ten days,
but it was only three days ago that
the exact nature Of the disease was
| discovered by the attending physi-
clans. About ten days ago Barlow,
who is employed as a. brakeman on
the Great Northern railroad, went to
! his claim which is located about eigll-
teen miles east of Minot. While work
ing upon his claim, he accidentally
scratched his right, hand on the palm
and caused sore to tester Mr.. Bar
low in hitching UP his horse, placed
his sore hand upon the body of the
animal and in this manner inoculated
the deadly poison into the system. A
couple of days later he was taken sud-
denly sick and he returned to his home
in this city. =s. #.rsa
Several local physicians were called
to attend the ill-fated man and it was
a couple of days before the disease
was pronounced glanders. A cou-
pie of Grand Forks physicians were
called into diagnose the case and they
pronounced it glanders and stated
that there was absolutely no hope of
saving Barlow's life. However, while
there is life there is hope, and the
family called in the service of Dr.HH.
c. Belyea Of Williston, who arrived
in Minot this morning. e.
| At 2:3o O'clock this afternoon, DIR.
Belyea came from the Barlow home
land announced to an Optic represen-
tatiye that there was absolutely no
hope Of Barlow's winning in his bat
| tie against that disease which in but
livery few instances is ever contract
ed by human being. DR.. Belyea
staed that Barlow had been in a
morbid condition for the past twelve
hours and he did not believe that
Barlow could live for many hours.
''In my twenty-five years experience
as physician, have never witnessed
| the equal Of this case" said Rr. Bel
lyea. II am surprised that the victim
of the disease has survived as long as
he has with that poisonous infection
settling throughout his system. It is
most remarkable case and one that
/ seldom occurs. s. s 4
/ The disease is very contagious and
Therefore Barlow is isolated from the

PILES OF WHEAT ON
NORTH DAKOTA PRAIRlES

Grand Forks Press: With over
100000 bushels Of wheat lying on the
prairies OF Steele county and counties
adjoining on the south and west sim
ilarly fixed, it is said that the farm
ers of that vicinity are about to en-
join the Great Northern railroad, with
an idea OF compelling them to furn-
ish cars sufficient to haul out the inn
mense crop. The yield OF this year
is almost unprecedented in: the history
Of that part of the state and at present,
with elevators bulging full with wheat,
farmers erecting bins and granaries as
lfast as possible, great piles of wheat
have been turned onto the ground, from
out OF the threshing machine, where tit
| is lying unprotected upon the prairies,
and the probabilities are that the move
| ment of wheat will continue through
out the winter months. /. /.
This condition OF affairs is due to
the dearth of cars, the Great Northern
railroad being the only railroad tap
iping that part of the state, and there
fore no competition whatever is ex-
perienced The lack OF proper ship
ping facilities there, it is claimed, is
due to the fact that the Great North
ern railroad is in fierce competition
with the 500 railroad in the northern
Ipart of the state, and therefore all cars
possible are sent to thar district, with
the view Of moving the crop out as
fast as possible. Meanwhile, counties
(which have but the one road are suf-
fering on this account.
1 Another cause which is said is re-
sponsible for the small quantity of
cars is the fact that the eastward
movement Of stock this year started at
a much earlier time than has been the
custom and long trains Of stock may
be seen hurrying to the eastern mar
kets. While the latter is the cause
lof considerable OF the trouble in
Steele county, the real reason is, as
stated above, the competition with the
500 railway. ...s..ss ss.s2.s f5

FISK UPHELD
POLLOCK
Famous Grain Case Finally Decided
Judge Fisk Acted as Supreme
Court Justice.

& Grand Forks Herald; Judge Fisk,
writing al, opinion for the supreme
court, affirms the district court of Cass
county in the case Of the John Miller
Co, against John A. Klevstad, appel
lant
f The suit grew out of wheat tram
saction, and the defendant sought to
Eevade payment Of judgment on the
grounds that the transactions between
plaintiff and defendant were merely
gambling transactions. s
In 1902 John Miller, president Of the
John Miller CO., made arrangements
with John A. Klevstad, an elevator
agent at Dwight, to purchase grain
for the company for shipment to Du-
luth. The grain company was to llon-
or the drafts of the defendant as the
grain was purchased, the same to be
shipped to Duluth A system of hedg-
1 ing was arranged, in order to eliminate
the risk OF loss, by the drop Of the mar
ket during the time that the grain was
on its way to Duluth. The evidence
showed that the John Miller Co, had
lsold 1900 bushels of wheat for De-
cember delivery, the shipments of
Klovstad to beused in making delivery.
IHe failed to deliver but 1000 bushels
lof grain and the company was required
Ito go on the market and buy 5000
bushels Of wheat mourning loss Of
about ST 900 in the transaction
| Suit was brought against Klovstad to
lrecover this amount, and he resisted
payment, claiming that the transaction
Twas nothing more than gambling and
EHnot legally Binding. Judge Pollock
directed verdict for the plaintiff and
/ Klovstad appealed the case to the SUI
Ipreme court, which has just affirmed
tthe lower court. The syllabus: ,8

the defendants S answer, and hence the.
ruling Of the court, in directing a YER

London, June 25.-It is significant OF
the acuteness of the crisis still exist
ing between France and Germany that
the French government refused to
transmit telegram from a news
agency correspondent at Paris, in
which it was stated that Premier Rou-
vier was adopting a firmer attitude to-
ward Germany, based upon a promise
of English support.
This statement is quite true and al
ready has had the effect Of making
the situation more critical than ever

Status Not Changed.
A news agency dispatch from Berlin
says that the French governments
note on the proposed international
conference about Moroccan affairs was
delivered to the German foreign office
yesterday morning, having been
mailed instead of wired, on account of
its great length. 1t is stated that the
points over which France and Ger
many disagreed have not been re-
moved.
Uneasiness on the Paris bourse, in
French legislative circles and among
the public at large has been accentu-
ated by strongly worded intimatiop
from German sources that Germany
will positively decline to accede to
Frances request for details of the pro-
posed Moroccan conference. The con-
dition of French popular sentiment
closely borders on panic.
Berlin Is Disappointed.
frankly express their disappointment
with the French note. Much had been
staked upon Premier Rouvier's osten-
sible wish to come to an understand
ing with Germany, but the Vossische
Zeitung says M. Rouvier is continuing
M. Delcasses policy without NJ Del
casse. The newspapers all emphasize
the fact that the French note leaves
the differences where they were be-
| fore.
The National Zeitung, in an evident
ly inspired statement, calls attention
to the warlike aspect which the Brit
ish press attempts to give to the stu
alton, whereas Germany does not be-
lieve that the present complications
are such as to justify fears of war.
The German press, while firm, is
calm. There is no threat, an dnothing
is said likely to wound Frances sus-
