ATTEMPT MADE TO BURN
, GRAND FORKS BANK BLOCK

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 27.-When
Albert Black, porter in the barber
shop of w. S. Ritz, located in the
basement OF the Union National Bank
block, corner of Third Street and
Kittson Avenue, came to work yester-
day morning about 7 o'clock he dis
covered that an attempt had been
made to destroy the Building. A gallon
.of gasoline had been placed in the mid
die of the room, where the washstand
lis located, and paper piled around it
and ignited. The boards of the wash
stand were scorched and nearly all the
paper burned, but the gasoline for
some reason failed to explode. The
door leading into the building had
been unlocked and was left about two
inches from being closed. The gas
meter had been broken into and the
contents removed The exact amount
taken is not known.
Black notified the police at once
and the department is now. at work
on the case. There is no clue to the
person who committed the deed. 1t is
supposed that the robbery and at
tempt to commit arson was made ear
ly yesterday morning, when few peo-
pie were on the streets.
Mr.. Ritz stated yesterday that it is
the third time since he went into bust
ness about year ago that the gas me-
ter has been broken into and the con-
tents removed. The first and second
time the gas company stood the loss,
but this time Mr. Ritz will have to
settle for the amount taken.
The fact that the file used to break
|open the gas meter was taken from a
drawer and replaced again after being
used and key was used to open the
door OF the shop, leads to the belief
that the crime was committed by
some one who had been employed in
the place some time in the past.

The Legislative Mill
Is Still Grinding Away

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. ~. Shortly
after the opening of the session in the
house yesterday afternoon Representa-
tive Stevens of Burleigh asked the
courtesy Of the floor in order that he
might make a statement regarding the
pure food bill that he had introduced
some days ago. He said that the bill
is in some respects similar to the Hep
burn bill in the national house and is
an exact duplicate of the bill introduced
by Senator McCumber in the national
senate, only that it is so changed as to
fit North Dakota It provides for more
rigid enforcement Of the law than can be
had under the present law and provides
for the appointment of commissioner
by the governor. t
A day or two ago The Morning Call,
according to, Stevens, printed a. story
which, reflected on his integrity and ac-
cused him openly of introducing a meas
ure in the interests of the large job
bers and manufacturers. Mr.. Stevens
stated his position on the matter very
forcibiy for about a half an hour Z
| Mr.. Stevens said that the story inti-
mated that the bill meant the displace-
nient of Commissioner Ladd, which he
declared was not the truth. The bill
provides for the appointment of the COM
missioner by the governor and does not
naturally name the man that the COVER
| nor shall appoint Commissioner Ladd
he supposed, would be retained as there
was probably no other man available for
ithe position. /.
The motion of Representative Nor
gan providing for two more pages, was
by motion of Representative Richmond
amended to read two stenographers, and
the resolution was thus passed. @

 According to Mir, Hunt. the most valued asset in the trading stamp busi- ness is its organization. which in this case, he said was obtained only by ex- tra0rdlnary hard work by the agents and expenditures of large sums of money He did not doubt that if the affairs of the concern are brought to a speedy close the assets will be able to meet all the liabilities.
 Yesterday Constable Lunny left a copy of the attachment oil the local store with Mrs Hunt in Bridgeport. During Iris absence in the Park city.
