cHIcKAsHA, IND. TER FEBRUARY II, 1906
TIMES UP-cRTsIs AT HAND

We've preached Interurban, expatiated its
enterprise public spirit and progress exhort-
ed onliberality and duty and jolled up till we're
almost ashamed to open the subject again. but hreth
rem. we're right up against the real thing now and
something must be did"
The ultimatoun of the Interurban has been Civ en-
sus. What will we do about it? The subscription has
reached the $40 900 mark, only $4,000 to raise
but its the last round that calls extra exeron. It
would be easy matter if about dozen Of the men
who heavy property holders would only do their
duty or even hal their duty. If a dozen Of the skin
Aints' and flight wads' would only loosen up, the
thing would be done in less time than it takes to talk
about it. 1t isn't necessary to call any names you
know them. We shall publish a fnl list of the sub
scribers in few days that every one may know who
is footing the bills for public enterprises who is pay
ing his way and who is stealing ride on the car Of
progress. Il is right that the people should know
who the men are who are SO selfish and 50 'cinchy
close -6sted and misery as to be willing to permit
their neghbors to put up for public enterprises while
they reap equal benefits with those who
give.
We do not believe the citizens of Chickatha will
allow the Interurban to 60 by default Too many Of
them have already shown how anxiously they desire
it, they realize too deeply what it means, They know
that il means the making Of the town and are not
willing to lie down such proposition.
It is just easy to raise $40 900 in three days as
in three monthsit is simplya matter Of get
ting down to business. The big mass meeting where
$4,000 was subscribed in twelve minutes show
ed what can be done when we wake up and go about
it in earnest Will we do iR Will we drop out
private business and set about completing the sub
scription in the next three days9 Itmust and it

MILK MEN COMBINE
To Guard Against Deadbeats-
Consumers Must Furnish
Own Bottles.

The milk men of Grand Forks pro-
pose to protect themselves against
deadbeats who do not pay their milk
bills and also to discontinue furnishing
their patrons with bottles.
Dealers complain that many bottles
are lost or appropriated by patrons
and that the expense of furnishing
the supply necessary in carrying on
an extensive milk business is consid-
cradle.
The proposed plan for the protec-
ton of milk dealers against deadbeats
is that of forming a"black list" each
dealer informing other dealers of the
names of patrons who have neglected
to pay their bills after reasonable
length of time. This is along the line
of similar mercantile protection asso-

contains an appropriation of $1,000

same.

MOOT WORK HOUSE
States Attorney Wineman Pre-.
sented Scheme to County
Board Today.

=. States Attorney ]. B. Wineman will
meet the board Of county commission
ers sometime this afternoon with the
aim in view of taking up with them
the suggestion made to that body by
Mr.. Wineman sometime ago relative
to work house in connection with the
county Jail here. In the Recommended
ton, the states attorney calls atten-
ton to the sections of the revised
code of 1899 relative to the imprison-
ment at hard labor of persons and says
in part:
We need good roads throughout the
county, and nothing makes better
dressing for road than crushed rock,
and there are plenty of rocks in the
county that these criminals could
crush. I would therefore recommend
to your honorable body that you cause
portion of the Jail yard to be enclos-
ed with a high iron fence. as suitable
place for these convicts to work in,
and furnish material and tools for the
convicts to work with. If this is done.
conditions will change rapidly, for If
there is anything that a vagrant, sneak
thief, or petty criminal dislikes, it is
work, and under such conditions they
are not apt to look for winter quarters
in the county Jail.
Respectfully submitted,
J. B. WINEMAN,
States Attorney.

SUCCESSFUL BIDDER
H. G. Delaney Gets Contract
for Williston Irrigation
Project at $81, 1867.

Last Thursday was the day set for
the opening of bids for the construc-
ton of the Williston irrigation pro-
ject and it has been learned that the
bid of H. c. LeLaney of the Citizens
National bank of that city, in the sum
of $81, 1867, had been accepted, and
would be recommended to the secre-
tary of the interior at Washington for
his approval.
The contract calls for the complete
construction and the furnishing of all
materials for the Williston project, in
Guiding two pump houses and the la
Dor for excavating the main canals,
all siphOns and lateral bitches. The
magnitude of the undertaking can be
imagined when 1t is known that there
are 100000 cubic yards of excavation
in the main canal and that there are
So miles of laterals and 20 miles of
drain bitches. Some of the work in
wolves many perplexing problems, par
tfcularly the construction of the sip
hons under the Little Muddy and under
the Great Northern tracks.
j. 8. PensOn of this city, who has
been in charge Of Mr.. Delaney's work
on the Yellowstone, and F. A. Nolan
of Nolan Bros. Lumber company, of
st. Paul, as co-estimators, have been
at work in the vicinity for some time
past and they have been over the
ground very carefully. They were as
sisted by ]. H. Donohoe of st. Paul,
who, we are informed, will sub-con-
tract part of the project.
The time set for the completion of
the work is a year from the date of
signing of contract.

THE SAME OLD GAME
Clever Crook Who Borrows
Coin From Strangers oper-
ated Again Today.

Complaint was made to the police
today by Scandinavian workman who
has not been long in this country that
he had been accosted at the depot by
stranger, who. after telling him that
he was going to Fargo, the destina-
ton of the Scandinavian, borrowed the
sum of $500 of him and disappeared.
This is but repetition of a certain
speciality in the bunco line owned and
patented by the mysterious stranger
for the past three years and who has
several times been almost but not
quite within the clutches Of the law.
Last year a party was approached
by the shark. and after pleasant con-
versation sum of money was borrow
ed upon check which was shown and
which the oily tongued individual
could not cash because the bank was
closed" The two walked down town
together and when the Clifford build
ing was reached. the shark excused
himself for the purpose, as he stated,
of going into his office and cashing the
check with the cashier. He went in
and probably came out again-at an
other entrance. for he was never seen
again by his victim. The police have
a good description OF the man who
turned the trick today and he is I'M
doubtedly the same party. He is de-
scribed as short. dark and stout, well
dressed and looking like prosperous
business man. He talks smoothly and
can converse in Scandinavian, as was
demonstrated today when he buncoed
the immigrant out of $500.
1t was claimed that they had him
nabbed at Crookston once. but it turn
ed out to be another party. The Of
ficers are of the opinion that he has
room in the city somewhere and are
laying for him.

When Pat Mahon tells story at

TO START DREDGING
The Ogama and Fleet to Begin
Operations Next Tuesday
in River Here.

Next week Tuesday, the government
dredge Ogama, Captain John Hayes
and its fleet of barges and house boats
will begin operations in the Red river
north of the city. The crew, now
being engaged for the work by Cap
tain Hayes, will be at work for the
next two months and it is the purpose
to deepen and widen the river bed ex-
tensively this year, as we'll as clear
out sunken and over hanging trees.
This work is carried on here an
nually, Captain Hayes having had
charge of it for years and is an ex-
perienced and efficient officer. The
crews live on the barges in house boats
and the work is not considered very
ardous or unpleasant. The fall of
the year here is generally not I'M
pleasant and men for the work are not
hard to find as good wages are paid.

STILL A MYSTERY.
Hebron Officials Not Able to Unrayel
Crime Recently Discovered.

The murder mystery at Hebron re-
mains as deeply mysterious as ever,
says the Mandan Pioneer. The theory
that the victim was murdered by
tramps has been exploded; however,
by the fact that his money and watch
were untouched. This moreover deep
ems the mystery, as it is more unusual
to find men filled on the public high
way and left lying there, without the
accompanying signs of robbery. But
it is convincing in this case that rob-
berry was not the motive, and the
question arises at once: What other
motive could prompt the cold-blOoded
murder of a fellow being whose life
does not seem to have been different
from that of his fellow men, who was
an ordinary we'll digger in the comm0
walks of life, and who. If he was not
conspicuous by the number of his
friends, was at least not known to
have enemies?
The body of p p. Smith was found
In the water under railroad bridge
short distance west of Hebron on
Thursday afternoon, and was un-
touched excepting for the wounds on
the head by which the murder was
committed. He had not been seen
since Sunday. on which day he had
gone to Glenullin, and was last seen
on the depot platform at that place
waiting for the train back to Hebron.
How he came to go on past Hebron
and to meet his death at or where his
body was found, will perhaps remain
mystery, though the officers have
theory which may account for the deed
and lead to the identity of the muir

from the Norwich Item that the build
ing of the Great Northern line from
a point on the present extension of the
Aneta branch to Minot is of for this
year at least. Nothing more than
surveying has been done on this Minot
line. The item says: The engineering
force, working on the proposed line
of the Great Northern road south of
Norwich, leaves the field tomorrow
and the whole work will be suspended
until early next year when operations
will again begin. The grade and
track from 'Aneta to Warwick have
been completed and all other prelimi-
nary work finished up to Minot, leav-
ing everything in good shape for an
early start next year.

MOORHEAD NORMAL.
Opened Yesterday With Large Attend.
ance-The Faculty.


The Moorhead state normal school
opened yesterday and there is every
indication that the attendance of that
popular Minnesota institution will be
much larger than in previous years.
There have already been fifty applica-
lions for accommodations at Wheeler
hall above the number that can be
accommodated but everyone has thus
far been cared for by pressing rooms
in private residences near the school
into service.
There have been but few changes
in the class rooms, the library having
been moved to new quarters to give
more room.
In the faculty Miss Ruth L. Hutch
lnson succeeds Miss Elizabeth Smith
as, preceptress of Wheeler hall, the
latter having accepted similar posi-
tion at Winona. Miss Hutchinson has
been engaged in the high schools of
Brafneri and Fergus Falls. She is
