Development CONFERENCE CLOSED
Permanent Organization Was Per.
fected Yesterday at CrOOkstOn.

The Red River Development con-
ference which closed yesterday after
noon at Crookston has proved grand
success in every sense of the word.
Yesterday the Red River Valley Edi-
torial association had charge of the
program and all papers not directly
in connection with the subject were
postponed and full leeway given to the
papers which were connected with the
development project
Editor w. s. Williams of the St.
Paul Trade Journal was first called
upon and gave an excellent address
upon methods to be adopted to cur
catalogue houses. He stated that
three Chicago houses last year did
business aggregating $15O,O00,000 but
that fortunately one of them had gone
bump during the past year. He also
stated that IS per cent of the hard
ware manufacturers of the country
had refused to furnish the catalogue
houses with their goods and that in
the future they would be handicapped
to this extent.
Mr.. Williams. however, advocated
the working together of the country
merchant and the editors of the weekly
papers in an effort to kill the business
of the catalogue houses.
The discussion which followed was
very interesting and was participated
in by ]. E. O'Brien of Cr0okston, F. A.
Wardwell of Pembina. J. G. Brinker-
hoff of Stephen, s. W. Wheeler of
Crookston, N. s. Davies of the Crook

VALUABLE "spARKER" RECOVERED
Andrew German Found the $3.50 Dia.
mOnd Lost Over n Week Ago
BY Miss Lizzie Levi.

About week ago Miss Lizzie Levi
lost the setting out OF a $3.50 diamond
ring between the Levi residence In the
north end of town and the postoffice.
This morning Andrew German. the
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. German on
North Fourth street went out on the
porch in search of papers and mail
and seeing little sparkling stone
picked it up and brought it into the
house. 1t proved to be the valuable
diamond that had been lost by Miss
Levi over a week ago. and must have
lain on the porch all this time. The
stone was returned to Miss Levi this
morning and the finder was richly
rewarded. On the trip In which the
stone was lost Miss Levi had stopped
at the German residence for several
minutes and during that time the dia-
mond dropped out. Miss Levi did not
miss 1t until the next day when upon
taking the ring out of cabinet ON
the dresser the first thing she noticed
was the vacant setting.

FUTURE OF MARKET GARDENING
Grand Forks to Become u Supply
P0int-kent Company Buys
O'I.eary Farm.

The Kent Realty and Investment
company purchased short time ago
from John O'Leary of East Grand
Forks his 200 acre farm south of that
city and adjoining the Oscar Wick nur-
sery farm. The company is dividing
the tract into ten acre lots and selling
it for market gardens Thirty acres
have already been sold, and num-
Der of other purchasers are in sight.
The success of number of the peo-
pie in that community in growing
garden truck has opened the eyes Of
many of the farmers to the financial
possibilities of the new line of in
dustry. From ten acre tracts num-
Der OF them have been able to realize
as much profit as would be possible
from a quarter or half section farmed
in the ordinary way. The work can
be done with one horse and one man
with much less strenuousness than the
average farmer experiences in plant
ing and gathering his crop. The
products find ready and constantly
growing market. and it will not be
long before Grand Forks gardeners
will be supplying the green vegetables
to the entire trade westward from this
city both summer and winter.

GIRLS ARE LOCATED IN FARGo
Mary and Jennie Slycord Of This City
Leading Merry Life In Moorhead
and Fargo.

Fargo Morning Call: The Grand
Forks girls, Mary and Jennie Sly
cord, both still of very tender age,
who were reported as missing bN
their mother to the Grand Forks au-
thOrities, were located last evening by
the police, who received a call to an
uptown restaurant where they were
indulging in their evening repast.
They were taken to the police station
by Chief Wade, where they were
given an opportunity to tell what
business they had in this city. They
told very straightforward story to
the officials, stating that their mother
had made life burden to them and
that they would not return to Grand
Forks to reside with her. They stat
ed that their father resided in Breck-
enridge and they were headed for that
place, where they would make their
home in the future If allowed to 20 by
the police.
1t is learned that the young women
have been in this city and Moorhead
for several days where they have
been leading a very merry chase to
some OF their newly made friends.

grave one by the chief, who was of
the opinion that punishment would
accomplish nothing and as there had
been no charge preferred against
them in this city they were told that
they might head for Breckenridge,
but that they were not wanted in this
city again and II they returned they
would be prosecuted. The chief then
dealt them out advice in such man.

leaving they thanked him and prom
Used to do better. They left last even

living in Grand Forks. where they
moved about three months ago, they
made their home in Crookston.

ST. BERNARD'S FAIR
HUGE SUCCESS
IT'S SAID
Opened This Morning Under
Favorable Auspices-Is
Largely Attended.

The st. Demands fair opened this
morning under suspicious circum-
stances. The booths were artistically
arranged and were filled with the
choicest articles. The lunch at noon
was we'll patronized and those who ate
at the we'll filled table had only one
complaint-they ate too much. The
ice cream and coffee room, under the
supervision of Mesdames Riley and
Barrett. was one of the attractive
places for both old and young all day.
The delicacies were served in style
befitting the marriage feast of king
and nothing could have been added
by the ladies in charge to make it more
delightful to spend few hours as
we'll as few dollars in this pleasant
place. These ladies also have charge
OF the huge pumpkin which will be
given to the person guessing nearest
the correct number of seeds contained
in it, Those who think they are au-
thorities on pumpkins are at liberty
to demonstrate their knowledge. The
booths are decidedly we'll arranged and
have some beautiful as we'll as useful
attractions calculated to disanneX the
coin from the owner but giving him
in return more than his moneys
worth. The booth presided over by
MesdameS Lowe and Lynch has Il
number of pieces of hand painted
china which are not only artistic but
which would cost much more in the
market than are asked for them at the
booth. They also have some beautiful
pieces Of burnt leather as we'll as hand
embroideries and-well, the thing to
do is to go and see for yourself
Misses Vivian Dinnie and Sophia
Franklin have charge Of the booth in
which the sofa pillows and similar
work is displayed and which looks as
though it would serve almost as a
magnet to separate the money from
the owner. Another booth just now in
charge of the young ladies who are
handling the one having the sofa pill
lows. is filled to overlooking with the
plain handiwork of the ladies'. There
are aprons and handkerchiefs and a
score of other things that no one but
a woman would know the use.
The cooking is under the direction
Forks and the size of her husband,
who tips the scales at 800 pounds, is
sufficient evidence of her ability in the
line assigned her. The dinner this
evening will be sort of prelude to
the good things in store for the future.
Tomorrow night chicken will be served
in all its myriad ways of being served
so as to delight the palate of the most
insistent husband, while on Friday
evening the entire menu will be fish
in some form from planked shad to
stewed mackerel. There will be any
kind you can call for. The price will
be just the same as on the other even
ings-thirty-ive cents.

MURDER CASE ON FOR NEXT week
Martin Doyle, the Alleged Murderer
of Weller, Will Be Tried at Fall
Assizes.

A dispatch from Snowflake, Man,
states that surveyors are busy work
ing on diagrams and plats of the
country near where the dead body of
Weller was found. This is the murder
for which Martin Doyle is now held
in custody and for which he is to be
tried at the fall asizes in Morden,
Can. The surveys are in the nature
of diagrams showing the roads lead
ing from town to where the dead body
was found u distance of three miles,
and other points which will tend to
strengthen the case against the ac-
cused man. The murder was q cold
blooded affair and greatly excited the
citizens ont only in the immediate vi
cinity but, in fact. in all nearby
states. The murder was committed
last November, almost year ago.

BOX GAR ROBBERY
RESULTED IN
MURDER
Vicious Killing Early Today
as Result Of Hold-up on an
N. p. Train.
AUG. R1MQU1sT VICTIM
Refused to Give Up His Money
and Was Shot Dead In
His Tracks.

A bOx-car robbery, resulting in
murder, was consumated at a blind
siding" near Wyndmere, North Da-
kota, at an early hour this morning,
according to advices received in the
city this afternoon.
August Rimbquist, a young MAJ.
hailing from Spencer, Iowa, together
with two companions, all of whom
had been working in the western part
of the state, were riding in loaded
car of wheat on an Northern Pacific
east bound freight train, when two
other men entered anu ordered all
three to hold up their hands.
Two of the three obeyed but Rim
quist refused.
Whereupon one of the hold-up men
shot and killed him in his tracks!
The robbers then proceeded with
their work of relieving Rimquist's
companions9 of what valuables they
possessed. They did not deign to
touch the money which was upon the
person of the man they had murdered.
The criminals afterward jumpe.
from the car and made their escape
When the train reached Wyndmere,
the authorities were notified by the
dead mans companions.
When the body was inspected, as it
lay in the car. it was found that the
dead man possessed revolver, and
that his hand was resting on the
handle when he was killed.
Every endeavor is being made to
apprehend the murderers and all
sheriffs. police and town marshals
in the state have been apprised.

HID UNDER THE DEPOT PLATFORM
Mystery Of Disappearance Of Man Who
Shot Al Young Apparently
Solved.

BY the finding of the gun used by
the assailant of AL Young in the shoot
ing ARRAY in front of Lynch and Gal
lagher's saloon in East Grand Forks
about two weeks ago, the strangers
mysterious disappearance has been
made partly clear. The gun, 80
calibre blue steeled weapon, together
with few cigaret stubs and sack
of tobacco, was discovered yesterday
afternoon under the platform back of
the Northern Pacific freight depot, by
the yard foreman, who was making
man shot Young, it will be remember
ed, he was pursued across the bridge,
and, dashing past policeman at this
end, he rushed up the alley into the
freight yards. The police and the
thoroughly aroused crowd rushed after
him and up the tracks past the plat
form under which the man had con-
cealed himself Several people noti-
fled the police later in the evening that
they had seen the man, but as it was
impossible for him to be in two or
three places at the same time, the
search in this direction was aban-
doned and the force of officers was
turned 3es1;ns t low s1v the of cars
The discovery of the gun, however,
indicates that the man hid under the
platform until late in the night, and
then emerged from his concealment
and probably wendell his way to the
other side of the river and took
freight out of the county. 1t was
claimed that the man threw the re-
volver into the river as he came
across, but Officer Blue, who was sta
toned at the approach of the bridge,
stated at the time that he fiourished
a small sized cannon in his right hand
as he tore down the street.

HAD GREAT SUCCESS WITH CORN
]. D. Bacon Natures and Ripens Hall
Dozen Varietfes-Future
Of This Crop.

J. D. Bacon of this city has on eX-
hibition at the Dacotah hotel num-
Der of samples OF corn raised on his
Lilac Hedge farm near the city which
prove conclusively that corn of good
size and we'll matured can be grown in
this latitude. Mr.. Bacon planted about
1870 acres last spring at different times
between May 20 and June for the
purpose of testing whether or not it
would mature. There were two vari-
cites OF flint, one of them being the
Jim Hill SiXty-seven Day corn. Both
not only matured before frost, but they
have been completely ripe for at least
the growing of corn in this state be-
tween the frost dates is absolutely GER
tain. Seven varieties Of dent were
planted, six of which have not only
matured but ripened. The one variety.
which unfortunately is the largest of
the samples. did not mature, but it
was one of the last ones planted.
So far as the size and general forma-
ton of the ears are concerned there is
nothing to indicate that they would not
become as large and as we'll filled in
this country as they are in any OF the
corn growing sections. The ears which
are on exhibition and which were Sc
lected at random from the fields show
every evidence of being fully grown.
The kernels are of fair size. close to-
gether. and of an average depth. The
rows are straight and the kernels eX-
tend entirely to the ends of the cobs.
maintaining their size to the extremity
of the ear. something not often found
especially in the dent varieties.
.:,.rrtr Hte:.' Mr.. Bacon did not
keep specific data as to the names of
the varieties and the time of planting
as we'll as that of maturing. and for
this reason lot of valuable informa-
ton to the state is lost. Had this
been kept he would have had fund
of information worth thousands of dol
lars to the state, for he could have told
results of growing all the leading
varieties of corn at glance. This he
intends to do next year and he will
then be in position to give the peo-
pie of the state some information on
the growing of corn that will move the
matter several years forward

DEATH ENDS BuRToN's SUFFERING
Morphine Fiend Who Fell From Great
Northern Train on Trestle
Died Last Night.

C. w. Burton, the human drug store,
died last night at II o'clock in his
cot in the Deaconess hospital. Ever
since his fall from the railroad bridge
week ago, he has been failing stead
lily and his death has been expected
for two or three days. Until Monday
the injured man was constantly cry
ing for morphine, but in the last few
hours he was peaceful and gave the
nurses a rest from their ceaseless
watchfulness. He was only given. the
drug once yesterday.
The authorities have been endeavor-
ing for several days to locate the rela-
tives whose names and addresses were
given in the memorandum book car
ried by Burton, but to no avail, thus
far at least. The remains will be kept
at Normans undertaking establish
ment for day or two and in that time

ceived telling what disposal to make

ARE ARRANGING GOOD SCHEDULE
The Manager and Coach Will BE Able
to Announce Games in u Few
More Days.

Professor Burnett and Coach Faw-
cett are working hard on good sche-
dule of games to be played by the
East Grand Forks high school this
fall. None of the dates have been set,
but the teams that will be played have
been decided upon with few excep-
tons. 1t is very probable that Mimic
will be played in that city a week
from Saturday. A game will be ar
ranged for the coming Saturday if
possible.
On account of the fact that there are
two teams across the river, and the
matter of getting games must go hand
in hand with these other schedules,
the job Is no easy task. The East Side
team is light, very light in fact, and,
on this account, the smaller teams
should be taken on first, thus giving
the boys chance to accustomed to
the hard knocks. Undoubtedly good
coaching will do much with the team,
and it is a sure thing that this city
will be represented on the girdiron
this fall with team that will be a
credit to the city.

Arraiened a. Drinks.

The three suspects who were SCOOP
ed in by the police force last evening
were closely examined this morning
by Chief Franklin and Judge Sullivan
and were given the usual fines i'm
posed upon DRINKS. Because of the
large amount of money spent by the
men and the couple of thousands found
in their possession suspicion entered
the minds of the police that the trio
had been implicated in some of the.
numerous hold ups and robberies of
the state. Another belief was that one
of the young men had sold his claim
and had taken the other two out to-
show them good time. This latter
theory is the most generally accepted,
as the fellow with the coin looked too
green to crack smile let alone
safe. He told Mr.. Lynch that he was
the son of wealthy saloonkeeper of
Seattle, but was shifting for himself
now and expected to make mark in
the world. The arrest will undoubted-
ly make good impression on this
lamb" of the party, as the other two
companions were simply bleeding him
for good time.

Cogswell, N. D.. Sept. 26.-About
daylight this morning in a fire of
undetermined origin. which totally
destroyed large barn on the farm of
John Bohenkampta. seven miles from
this place, two men lost their lives,
third was fatally burned. two others
seriously. and twenty-five head of cat
tie. horses and hogs persisted.
The names of the dead men, who
were threshing hands. are not known.
AS nearly as can be learned. six
men were sleeping in the barn when
1t caught fire. The flames, famed by
a draft and fed by tons of dry hay,
spread so rapidly that the two who
lost their lives suffocated in the NOW
and their bodies were afterward con-
sumed. Of the other four, one. who
was sleeping near an exit, escaped
without harm. His three companions
however, did not fare so we'll. One of
them, a man named Johnson, was SO
badly burned in getting out that he
will probably die. The other two also
received serious. but not fatal, burns.
Bohenkampta's loss will be heavy.
In addition to the barn, hay, feed,
harness and tools, four horses, five
colts, seven head of cattle and six
hogs were cremated.
The county coroner and other Off
Gals have gone to the scene to inves-
tigate.
