WESTERN DEFEATS TECH.
First Touchdown Was Obtained in
Seven Minutes

The Western High School defeated Tech
meal yesterday afternoon upon American
League Park field by IL to O. When the
two teams came upon the field Western
looked nearly as heavy Technical, de-
spite the word to the contrary, which was
in substance that Technical outweighed
the boys from the heights by ten pounds
to the man. In part of the line. especially
at center and the tackles and ends Techni-
cal certainly outweighed the representatives
of the Red and White. In the first lineup
with the ball in Technicars possession it
looked as though Technical would fulfill
some of the predictions her supporters had
made and rush the ball down the field by
straight line plunges. For the first two
= downs Technical made steady gains, but
after that Coach Bococks men settled down
and held Tech. for downs. With the bali
in the WesternerS possession they speedily
made the fact known that they were to be
feared End runs were in vogue the mo-
ment Muir put the ball in play. Big Far
rington plunged through Techs tackle many
times for gain, as did Worthington. Phe
Ian was also gaining each attempt toward
the goal 1t took Western seven minutes
to rush the ball over for the first touch
down of the contest. Worthington kicked
easy goal. The two teams lined up
again and Technical kicked OFF Then II was
that Tech was on the defensive.
During the remainder of the play the
ball was almost always i'll the center of
the field and closed Technical's forty
Vineyard line. In the second half DuGanne
kicked off to Muir and the ball was re-
turned fifteen yards before the little West
ern quarterback was tackled. The ball was
forced down the field by steady gains by
Harrington, Worthington and Phelan until
Technicafs two-yard line was reached. Far
rington plunged through tackle for the sec
ond touchdown of the contest On account
of the wind Worthington missed a hard
goal. In the last two minutes of play. with
the ball on Technical's thirty -five-yard line,
Coach Bocock sent in nearly the entire line
up of the substitutes. and when the contas:
closed they Were doing good work. Final

Accidents to Trainmen.

A few days ago Attorney General
Moody issued letter Of instruction to
all United States attorneys, calling
their attention to the necessity for q
strict enforcement Of the railway
safety appliance law designed to pro-
tect railway employees and the travel
ing public.
In it's decision in the johnson case
the United States supreme court re-
Gently ruled that all cars. including
locomotives. must be equipped with
uniform automatic couplers so that
employees need not go between the cars
to couple and uncoupls them. The
last report of the Interstate Commerce
commission shows that 278 trainmen
were killed in this country in coup
ling accidents during the year 1904
and the number injured was 3,44l.
The report adds that q very large
proportion Of these deaths and iDju-
ries were due to ''defentive equip
ment." which compelled the men to
60 between the cars. II proper at
tention had been given to the use
Of effective safety appliances many
of the casualties would have been
avoided.
The toll of dead and injured which
the railroads exact every year is
awful to contemplate. and one Of
the worst features of the case is the
slaughter of employees. Compared
with the railway trainman, the SOL
dier In actual service has an excellent
chance of dying of old age. Most of
the accidents which befall the men in
this occupation are probably unpTe-
ventable, but the fact remains that =
large proportion of them could be
avoided BY the exercise Of greater care
and the employ ment Of better safety
appliances. It is evident that the
government is determined to do every
thing in its power to secure strict
enforcement of the existing laws, and
in this it will be aided by the recent
supreme court decision. Colorado

RATHER Embarrassing
FOR The LADY

Are Marguerite Thomson and John
Jensen man and wife?
This was the question which the reg
lister and the receiver of the Fargo
land Office We're called upon to decide
Wednesday morning. Dependent on
the question was the right to a quar-
ter section of land in Sargent county
and the local authorities finally con-
Guided that the evidence in favor of
the contention that the couple had
actually been married was preponder-
GUS and a decision to that effect was
finally rendered.
In 1901 Margret Thomson filed on
the south half of the northwest quarter
on section % and the south half of the
northeast quarter of section 29-129-5S.
About the same time John Jensen filed
on an adjoining quarter section. Later
In the same year, house was erected
on the line dividing the two claims and
the man and woman took up their resi-
dence therein.
About three years ago a child was
born and it was generally supposed
that the man and woman were mar
ried. Harry l.. Strouse appeared on
the scene few months ago and mar
veled at the broad and productive
acres held by the couple. Being famil,
lar with the land laws, he also marvel.
ed at the fact that man and his wife
could each hold a homestead. After
considerable investigation Strouse dis
covered that marriage license had
actually been issued to- the couple
sometime before but he was unable to
find any, proof that the marriage cere.
mony had ever been performed. How
ever, after he had had the claims sur,
veyed and had discovered that two,
thirds Of the house was situated on
the claim of the man and the remain.
ing third on the woman's claim he
Initiated a contest, depending on the
evidence of the contestee herself to
show that the marriage ceremony had
been performed.
AT the hearing the woman declined
positively to answer the question of
whether or not she was married to
Jensen, but the evidence of neighbors,
the presence of the child, etc., led to
the decision in favor of Strouse and a
remark from the land Office officials to
the effect that if the man and woman
were not married "they ought to be-"

FEAThERED GLUTTONS.
Some Very Greedy Birds That Arc
Tremendous Feeders.

Some Very Greedy Birds That Arc
Tremendous Feeders.
Despite the fact that "the appetite
Of bird" has become a common phrase
for light eating, investigations show
that birds are tremendous feeders. The
diet Of the average kestrel "a small Eu-
ropean hawk is calculated at 1000
mice month, to say nothing Of insects
and worms. The barn owl is as vora-
cious as the kestrel. An Investigator.
after caging one of these birds, gave it
seven mice one after the other. The
first six Immediately disappeared, each
with gobble and gulp, and the owl
did its very best to treat the seventh
In like manner. Limitations Of abb
dominal capacity, however, prevented.
and though the gobble came off the
gulp did not, so that for twenty min
utes or so the tail Of the seventh mouse
dangled from the corner Of the birds
beak. But in due course it swallowed
the body and three hours later the
pangs Of hunger reasserted themselves
and the owl ate four more mice.
Four pounds would be heavy weight
for a heron. Yet one Of those birds,
which was trapped in England, dis
gorged two recently swallowed trout,
one Of which weighed two pounds and
the other one and half pounds. An
other captured had contrived to put
away three trout averaging three-quar.
tiers Of a pound apiece, although it was
only four months old, and another had
dined upon seven small trout, together
with a mouse and a thrush. ~
Among the greediest birds are wood
pigeons, which will continue to gulp
down food until their crops are almost
at the bursting point. From one Of
these birds, shot as it was returning
from raid in the fields, no fewer than
800 grains Of wheat were taken. An.
other had contrived to cram down no
fewer than 600 peas. A third was en-,
deavoring to sustain nature with $50
beech nuts and fourth with sixty
acorns. -. ."'

Showing How 1t May Sometimes Pay

uAO"IHS no" H NUUy sometimes xuy
to Be a Poor writer.
Not many lawyers write legibly, and
the late William M. Evarts wrote such
an execrable hand that it was very Of
ter difficult to read it. This caused a
mistals, at one time which resulted in
the eminent lawyer receiving retain.
er for ten times the amount he request
ed, The late William Allen Butler, an
eminent member of the New York bar,
was counsel for one Of the legatees in
the celebrated Stokes will case years
ago, in which the late DR.. Henry P.
Stearns was one of tie expert wit
nesses. Something like $15,O00,o00 was
Involved, and MI. Butler told his eli.
ent that he would like an associate In
the conduct Of the case. BE was asked
whom he would suggest, and he said
he thought Mr.. Evarts would be the
best man owing to his superior knowl-
edge of the law and his great reputa-
ton as an advocate. Tie client agreed,
and Mr.. Butler was instructed to see
If Mr.. Evarts would come into the
case.
Accordingly Mr.. Butler wrote to Mr..
Evarts and invited him to be associat-
ed in the case and name his retaining
fee. In due time he received a reply.
which he saw at glance was IN the
Affirmative and, without stopping to
read it further. slipped it into another
envelope and mailed it to his client.
In day or two he received call from

Butler.
'Yes," replied Mr.. Evarts, 'but he
sent me check for $4,000, and only
asked him for $780,"
1t was apparent that Mr.. Evarts'
chirography misled the client. This Is

STATE FAIR Will have
GREAT CATTLE EXHIBIT

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 10.-In one
department at least the North Dakota
state fair will have an exhibit that may
be something of a surprise to those
who are not looking for the biggest
show of the kind n the northwest, and
will certainly make the Minnesota
state fair and the Winnipeg exposi-
ton look to their laurels. The live
stock department is assuming proper
tons way beyond the expectation of
the management already and the out.
look is now that it will eclipse any ex-
hibit of this kind ever seen in the state
several times over. Secretary D. v.
Moore is receiving inquiries daily
from the leading breeders of the state
about entries, shipments, etc., and
many entries have already been re-.
ceived. "A. I. Ward of Hope, superin-
tendent of the cattle department, has
spent the last few days among the
breeders of Griggs county and notified
the secretary yesterday that he had
assurances from six of the leading
thoroughbred stock men of that Sec
ton that they would each send a car
load to the fair, and he expects one or
two others from the same section will
also be represented by car load ship
ments. President Mcfarland of the
Valley City normal school, who is in
terested in the largest herd of Aber-
deen-Angus cattle in the state, asked
to have space reserved for a car load
of thoroughbreds. The state agricul-
tural college will make an exhibit and
Prof. Richards writes the exhibit will
aggregate more than a car load. Elk
hibitors are coming from other sections
of the state and Grand Forks county
will not be found wanting when differ
ent sections are compared. Three
large barns, large poultry house and
sheep pens have been added this sea-
son to the accommodations for stock
at the fair grounds.
