The above are the orders relative
to the running of trains 415 and 1923
Thursday morning between Grand
Forks and Crookston.
1t was these two trains which
crashed together two miles out from
Crookston, and as q result of which
two men were killed.
The inquest over Johnson's death
was taken up again at Crookston this
morning, two dispatchers we're ex-
amined. and the inquest adjourned un-
til next Friday morning. This adj
journment was taken for the purpose
OF allowing the injured men to re-
cover and give their testimony.
The storm the morning of the wreck
was 80 fierce that 1t is possible that
the engineer on 1923 did not see Hix-
on as he passed 1t. Both of the en-
gineer's Of the wrecked trains claim
that they knew nothing of the impend-
ing danger until their trains crashed
into each other.

ANTON S0R FOUND
NOT GUILTY
TODAY
Jury Arrived at Verdict Last
Night and Made Its Re-
port This Morning.
FOR KILLING BROTHER
Case Was Tried at Grafton
Before Judge Kneeshaw-
Great Fight Made.

Anton Sor is not guilty of murder.
That is what the Jury in the case
decided last night, and they made
their report to Judge Kneeshaw this
morning at $3.50 o'clock, or as soon
as the court convened.
Anton Sor was charged with the
murder of his brother, Joseph sor.
The trial was held at Grafton and the
jury In the case was charged at 10
o'clock last night. At o'clock the
lights went out, showing that vel
dict had been reached, and as soon
as court was convened this morning
the jury reported their verdict of not
guilty.
The killing of Joseph sor took place
last summer near the home of Anton
Sor. Joseph and Anton became in
volved in dispute over fence,
which led to scuffling. Finally An
ton got Joe sor on the ground, and
they rolled under a wagon. Joe made
an effort to start the team in order
that the wheels would run over An.
ton. The team started, but Anton got
out from under the wagon and the
fight continued. Later Anton got up.
walked towards the wagon and was
followed by Joe. He picked up a pick
and when about to be attacked by
Joe, turned suddenly and hit Joe. The
pick did not enter Joe's body, but he
was given a terrible blow over the
heart.
= Anton then went away, while Joe
was taken home. 1t was some time
later that Anton was informed that
his brother was badly hurt, and short
ly after that he was told that his
brother was dead.
Tracy Bangs and Olaf Moen, the
latter attorney of Lawton, defended
Sor. Tracy Bangs made great fight
for his client, the defense being that
Joe was killed by Anton in self de-
tense.

]. A. Sorley and Jud LaMoure to Have
Rooms Near Each Other-Will
Use the Same Bath R0em.

Among the new conditions which the
next legislature will experience at Bis
marck will be the hotel arrangements.
The construction of additional hotel
facilities during the last few years
will take away from the old Northwest

politicians. The old members are
seeking other quarters and the new
plans are making some peculiar neigh

Of this city, one of the insurgent lead
ers, will have room next to that of
Jud LaMoure. 1t is stated that the
two have arranged to use the same
bath room-not for bathing purposes
but this Is denied. A Bismarck no.
tel. man is quoted as follows on the
prospective hotel conditions:
Zone of the healthful signs about
the approaching session of the legis-
lature is the great demand for rooms
with bath. From this Judge that this

that where In many Of the previous
sessions members had no objection to

selves, all Of which betokens either
good crops or deliberate desire to
blow in that S. day in most reck-
less manner. Now, there is Senator
Simpson, for instance. He was down
here yesterday and must have four
rooms for the four men in the Stark
Billings delegation, and insists on hav-
ing plenty of bath rooms. l can't i'm
agine what cowboys want with bath

years ago at a Grand Forks state con-
vention. But all joking aside, the de-
mand for better rooms is very notice.

kota people want the best there is
when it Is to be had. Reservations Of
rooms are being made very rapidly
and the sluggish legislator who waits
until he gets here just before the ses-
sion will lose the cream Of the selec-
ton. However, there will be plenty of
rooms for all. the city being this year
better able to accommodate a larger
crowd than ever before.

A Home for Outcast Men and Women
Near Denver.

Denver, Col, Sept. 24-Indigent
drunkards, outcast men and women,
and poor wrecks of humanity who
have no particular place of refuge as
rest for their tired heads. will be given
a comfortable home fresh air
nourishing food and a chance to begin
a new life through the efforts of Carrie
Nation.
Yesterday an organization called the
Christian Assembly Ranch company
was Incorporated to carry on the
work, and it was given out that the
money necessary would be secured only
by the grace of God. 1t has since de-
velcped that Carrie Nation Is the i'm
pel1ing power behind the proposition
and that 1t is but one of the channels
into which she expects. to divert $780,
600 in Colorado dnyestn ents. The pur-
chase OF the ranch property Will re-
quire $4,000 and tbs. proposed build
ifgs will cost at least $500.
The object of the Christian Assem-
bly, Ranch company is to secure a
ranch to which the wicked and sin
cursed men and women can be taken
and given a chance to reform. One of
the peculiar features of the organiza-
ton, when the Incorporation was an
nounced, was its apparent absolute
faith in the provision that God would
make for the home. The name of
Carrie Nation has been kept strictly in
the background, but it has since been
ascertained that she is the fovAs that
