The income from the town house, in
Guiding the post -office rent, was $3,707. So
The expenses were $3,973.75, making a

around 5000 less than the deficit for the
previous year.

was $1,215.16, but there was received
from the farm $35349, making the net
cost of the farm $S61.67.

at 81, 80 male dogs at 50 and S2 female
dogs at 81 amounted to $473. There was

Dr. Henry Tucker, health officer, reports
that the health conditions of the town,
except for an epidemic of measles, have
been good. From Feb 10 to June, 1905
there were 379 cases of measles. The total
number of contagious diseases reported
from Dec. TO- 1904, to Feb. /, 1906, was
AS. There was one death from measles,
the case being that of a woman 20 years
old, who had second attack of the
disease. Considerable progress has been
made in the matter of sewer connections
of dwelling houses and business places,
but much needs to be done. DR.. Tucker
says the school buildings In the village
districts are in the best condition of
sanitation they ever have been, all of the
plumbing in the high school and Canal
street school buildings having been re-
newed and that of the primary school
buildings having been put in good condi-

is concerned, are no better than they

Six of the Largest Ever Built
Pass Through City for the
West.

Six compound locomotives of the
Mallet type, the largest and most
powerful ever built, so railroad men
claim, were recently completed by the
Baldwin locomotive works in the east
and on Sunday passed through Grand
Forks ehroute west. They were or
dered by the Great Northern and will
BE- used in hauling freight trains in
the Rocky mountains.
These locomotives, which were view
ed with great interest by large num-
Der OF people in this city, differ from
other Mallet engines in that there are
two separate groups of driving wheels,
three pairs In each group, and each
group driven by it's own set of cylin-
dcrs. The front group is flexible, SO
that curves may be rounded the same
as with the ordinary car truck. An
other point of difference is the appli-
cation of high pressure steam first to
cylinders 21hx32 inches, which drive
the rear group. From these the steam
Is exhausted through flexible tube
into those of low pressurs. 33x32 in
ches, which drive the front group of
driving wheels. In front and behind
the drivers is a two-wheeled truck,
making sixteen wheels in all, the
wheel base being A feet, 10 inches.
Each driving wheel is IS inches in
diameter. and the boilers "a inches
with AL tubes 81 feet long. There
are 5,640 square feet of heating sur
face and 70 feet of crate area. The
capacity of the tenders is 5000 gal
Ions of water, and IA tons of soft coal.

A slight difficulty arose last evening
between the city authorities and the

understanding. 1t seems when Secre-

Cash company to bring their shows
here, he informed the agent of that
company that merry-go-round privi-
leges on the fair grounds had already
been sold. The company, however, did
not care SO much If they were per-
mitted to place their merry-go-round
near the fair grounds. This Secretary
Wood promised would be permitted.

Evening.

An explosion, which to say the least
is mysterious, and which by most
fortunate turn Of fate did not cause
the injury of a single person, occurred
last evening on the Great Northern
train No. 10 at Fargo.
A man, whose name was not learned,
placed very ordinary looking grip in
the baggage car on train No. 10 at
Fargo and then walked off and dis
appeared. Baggageman Asa Piper of
this city, who was in the car, was busy
at the time and allowed the grip to

minute or minute and half later
terrific explosion occurred and

Newspaper readers will recall the
reports given publicity yesterday with
reference to an alleged attempt by
three men to unseX the man Frazier,
and the maxim gof an affidavit later
by the victim, in which he acknOwl-
edged that he himself inflicted the
wounds he first charged to others.
This morning at the county Jail. in
statement to County Attorney ]. B.
Wineman, representative of the
Evening Times and Deputy Sheriffs
Mahon and OVERLY. Frazier branded
his own statement in the affidavit as
false and stated that he had signed
the statement under duress. certain
parties at Larimore. he said, having
represented to him that he would be
held pending the settlement of the
matter, unless he made the admission
that he himself committed the deed.
He says he had no money, and not
wishing to have to remain at Larimore,
he thought the best way out of the
matter was to sign the statement and
drop the whole business.
you are sure, then. that it was not
you yourself that did the cutting?"
asked Mr.. Wineman.
Yes, l am sure"
You are sure. are you. then. that
the three men whom you previously
described are the ones who committed
the crime?"
Yes. they are the ones"
What about the report that a few
evening ago while at work on the Nc
Sherry farm near Arvilla you stripped
your clothing of and paraded round
the farm in that condition."
THAT is lie. never did that"
Apparently the man Is sane. He
has clear eye and answers all ques-
tions fntelligently, also describing the
events leading up to the attempt to
MAIN him. He says that walking
south from Larimore toward Kemp
ton, he came to three men sitting near
the railroad tracks, He went over to
where they were, sat down and began
discussing crop conditions. One of
the men, so Frazier says, said that So
and-so ought to have certain things
done to him. Then another suggested
that I'VE do it to this fellow" mean
ing Frazier. The latter says he took
the remark as joke, but changed his
mind minute later when they as
saulted him. He describes the man
who was Immediately responsible for
his condition as being tall, weight
about 1856, wore sandy mustache, felt
hat and dark clothes.
Frazier was brought to this city
last evening and now lies in the county
Jail. The county physician, DR.. F.
Duggan, gave him attendance this
morning. The doctor believes the fell
low will recover in due time.
County Attorney Wineman, in the
meantime, is investigating He is not
just absolutely certain as to the truth
of Frazier's story, but stated If it was
true that the perpetrators of the out
rage. were they caught, would be
prosecuted to the extent of the law.
