LARGE TENT DESTROYED BY FIRE
Tent Belonging to G.. N. Contractors
Fired by Spark and Destroyed
Near University.

Saturday evening shortly after Z
o'clock one of the large tents belong
ing to the Great Northern railroad
contractors and located across the
track from the university caught fire
and was entirely ruined before the
progress of the flames could be check
ed. The fire started from spark
carried from passing locomotive
and more than half the tent went up
in smoke before the astonished men
who occupied 1t as a sleeping tent,
could jump to their feet and attempt
salvage. The tent is used to house
the railroad graders and steel gang
employed on the new Schurneier cut
off which branches off the main line
short distance west of the university.
When the tent began to burn bright
~ bucket brigade was formed and
with few we'll directed buckets of
water was soon extinguished. One
man had his hair nicely singed and
sustained few other burns, none
of which however will incapicitate
him from work. The tent was a larg>
one 25x IS with sidewalks about six
feet in height. Several other tents
were stationed near by and the con-
tractors consider themselves very
lucky to get off with the one tent as
spark or brand alighting on any of
the other canvas tops would have set
the entire camp in mass of flames.

NEW TRAIN ON NORTHERN DIVISION
Instead Of Changing Emerson Train,
4 New Service VIII he Run to
Thief River and Greenbusl.

A new time card went into effect
yesterday on the northern division Of
the Great Northern which will change
trains and service out of Crookston
and Fargo. Instead of changing the
Emerson train, so that it would stay
in Fargo all day, as the papers have
been talking about for several days,
that train will now run to Greenbush.
The train runs to Crookston as FORM
erly, but instead of running on north
to Emerson as before, 1t will turn east
through Red Lake Falls and Thief
River Falls to Greenbush. The train
leaves Fargo at $3.50 instead of 5
o'clock as heretofer. On its return to
Fargo, travellers will take notice that
it does not make connections with
the Emerson train which will be run
out of Crookston before the Green
bush train arrives
This will not change the service or
in any way affect Grand Forks.

HEREAFTER WILL SEARCH BAGGAGE
Employment Agencies Worry Over
New Regulations-Men Must
"Sticko Now.

Employment agents of the state are
in Quandary. AS result of the new
law, baggage of men sent more than
one hundred miles from where they
board the train must be searched
This is causing the bureaus all kinds
of trouble. One of the proprietors of
large employment agency had the
following to say to press represent
ative:
THE law requires us now to make
a personal inspection of all baggage
belonging to men who hire out to be
sent to points in the west. All this
baggage must be first class. That is
to say it can not be made of old rags
and discarded clothing but must cos.
tain wearing apparel and articles of
first class nature. Another thing
ship must have baggage of the first
class kind. This law has caused us to
turn down hundreds of men who apply
daily to be sent to Montana and other
western states. The time consumed in
inspecting his baggage causes consid-
cradle additional work and naturally
We are unable to hire the number of
men that we did before the law went
INTO eHeCt.
Another important factor under the
new law is that over IS per cent of
the men We ship to points west re-
main in the party and are delivered
TO the contractor. Heretofore men
who desire to go to some other western
state would apply for position and
would either have no baggage or
baggage made up largely of cast off
clothing. When they reached their
destination they would decamp and
the party which would be made up of
about seventy-five men would when
the point where they were to work was
reached consist of about twenty-five
or thirty men.
1T is a difficult matter now for men
who hire out to be sent to western
points to decamp for their baggage
is taken from the train by the con-
tractor and taken into camp and if
they decamp they forfeit their lug
gage"

METHoD|sTs WILL MEET At M|NoT
Sessions of Conference Closed at
Valley City-a Put Up Job.

The Methodist conference closed last
night at Valley City and the delegates
are now returning home.
Today Rev. w. A. Weiss of Min
neapolis, of the German Methodist
church was introduced and made a
brief address yesterday. Judge Pol
lock of Fargo was also introduced and
spoke briefly on the foreign citizen
problem. Mrs. Allen B. Thompson of
the Children's Home of Fargo also
addressed the conference and thanked
them for the work done for the home
by the Methodists.
The following ministers have been
transferred to this conferences: VIM.
Moore, West Wisconsin conference;
James Opie of the Montana confer
ence; w. D. Price of the Des Moines

ference.
The following men have superanu-
ated relations; Eugene May, G. S.

and r. Withun. A. S. Mason with
drew to join the Presbyterian church.
G. NJ. Rumsey was received from
Free Methodist church and G. S. Pow
ell and Samuel Halfyard from the
NJ. E. church of Canada.
The next conference will be held in
Minot. This was decided yesterday
and as result there is something of
joke on DR.. Robertson OF Wesley
college who it is said. was to have
presented Crank Forks claim for the
next conference.
While the doctor was in the ante
room the Minot people took advantage
of his absence and called the question
of location and rushed it through be-
for the leaderless Grand Forks crowd
could draw breath.

HAD TOUGH TINE GETTING BARBER
Up.Line Boss Barber Meets With
Deadly Parallel in Securing
Man.

Getting BARRIERS to work in this
state and city is no joke.
Nearly every shop in the state has
an empty chair or else a green
man as substitute. The trouble does
not seem to be that the barber is too
strict or anything of that sort, but be-
cause there is scarcity of BARRIERS.
A few days ago Their drifted into
Grand Forks dissipated specimen of
a barber, of the wandering class.
He inquired about this city for job
and, though several of the shops in
this city are in need of tOnsorialists,
the proprietors looked askance at the
man. Finally he was sent to little
town on the north line out of the city.
He worked day. but the boss finally
decided, after patching up several vic
Tins of the new barber, that he could
get along very we'll without his as
sistance. So the new man was fired
and ticket was bought once more
to Grand Forks.
That night the out of town pro-
prietor wrote to friend, owner of
Third street shop in this city. He re-
quested that man be sent immedi-
ately if one could be found in the
city. AS luck happens. this Third
street shop was the first one entered
the next morning by the wandering
barber in search of work. The ticket
inclosed in the letter was handed to
him and instructions where to go were
given.
The old fellow tucked away a few
drinks and started out to the new To-
cation. That evening the out of town
man found himself just where he
stood before, with the expense of two
full fare tickets between that city and
Grand Forks.
The barber laws passed at the last
session of the state legislature seem
to be giving general satisfaction. Of
course there are some who think the
laws are too strict, and impose
hardship on the shop owner, but there
are others who believe that if the law
is lived up to, it will be of great bene-
fit to the public.

THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
YEGGE|ME LOOT DENb|GH
BANK 0F$2,000 IN CURRENCY

in the nature of a heavy explosian
about 1880 a. m. Many of the towns
people heard the noise, but ascribed
1t to a different cause, and paid no at.
tention.
The first explosion was followed by
three or four little later. A guest in
the Hotel Arlington poked his head
out of a second story window and saw
a man guarding the bank. He was in
structed to pull his damn head in or
have it blown off,"
The burglars escaped soon after in
buggy. They were seen by wo-
man, who states there were four in
the party.
The proprietor of the Arlington and
liveryman were the first on the
scene, which was about 2:3O.
The bank safe is a total wreck. The
books, papers, safe door and railroad
tools used in doing the job. were
strewn about the floor, and window
and door were both blown out.
The burglars gained entrance to the
bank by breaking the thin panel on
the rear door, then reaching inside
and turning the night latch. The, bank
was an easy mark for robbers, as
there was no night watch, and no po-
lice in the town.

M'v|llE MAN sLAMDERED HIS WIFE
And Was Arrested mt Her Instance
and Bound Over to the Dis.
trfct Court.

Osmund Oby, of Neville. Nelson
county. N. D., was brought to the city
Sunday evening and lodged in the
county Jail to await trial at the next
term of the Nelson county district
court on the charge of slandering
female. Sheriff Sveen had the ac-
cused in charge.
Oby, it appears, said naughty things
about his wife to the neighbors, and
to her face, and to punish him, she
had him arrested for SANDER.
The justice before whom the pre-
liminary hearing was had, ordered
the accused held to the district court

to furnish, the defendant was compell-

WIFE, CHILDREN AN0
SAVINGS ALL
GONE
Denbigh Man Despoiled Of
Peace Happiness and
Family.
WIFE ELoPED WITH MAN
No Trace of Their Where
abouts-A Sad, Sad,
Homecoming.

Despoiled of his wife, his savings
and his two pretty children all in the
same hour, Ernest Mabbitt of Dem
bigh was left to face the coming win
ter with only ten dollars to his name.
The family came to Denbigh from
Indiana at the beginning of the har-
vest, happy and contented. They
planned to buy restaurant business
and the man and wife set to work
bravely side by side to earn the nec-
essary money. They took employment
with Jake Wagar; Ernest working in
the threshing crew and his wife pre-
pairing the meals in the cook car.
And here Is where she first met Lew
Smith.
Smith took to leaving his work to
hang about the cook car and Mrs.
Mabbitt began to fear him, or so at
least she told her husband. Ernest
told Smith to leave the car and Smith
complied. Mabbitt then thought the
incident closed. They quit work at
the end of the season and came to
town to close the deal for the restau-
rant. Besides Ernest wanted to go
up near Williston and file on a claim.
His wife induced him to leave what
was unnecessary for his trip and he
boarded the train for the west all un-
suspecting. The next morning Mrs.
Mabbitt and her children drove to
Towner with Lew Smith and boarded
the noon train for the east, abandon
ing the team they had taken from the
Denbigh livery unpaid for. Mrs.
Mabbitt had with her two hundred
dollars-their combined savings. Nab
bitt has been unable to trace the
fugitives because he has no money,
but he says his parents in Denver will
aid him. Lew Smith is we'll known
in McHenry county and does not bear
an enviable reputation. He has done
time for blind-pigging.

ANGRY WIFE CAUSES
HER HUBBY'S
ARREST
VIM. Bechtel and Miss Brooks
Eloped from Michigan
City, N. D.
THEY CAME TO THIS CITY
Pair Arrested in Local Hotel at
Instance of Bechtel's Wife
"A Story.

About 8 o'clock Saturday evening
Sheriff P. Mahon and Chief of Police
Lowe, on information received in a
telegram from Michigan ". D., to.
the effect that the pair had come to-.
this city went to the Arlington-Park
hotel and arrested William Bechtel
and Emma Brooks in a room to which
they had retired for the night.
The Brooks girl was later allowed
her liberty.
Sheriff Sveen, of Nelson county. ar
rived in the city Sunday evening and
today took Bechtel to Michigan for
hearing. Bechtel was arrested and
is being held on a warrant charging
the crime of abandonment and deser-
ton of family. His wife was the COM
planning witness.
1t develops that Bechtel, who is be-
tween 80 and IS years of age, became
enamoured of the Brooks girl, and.
she being not unwilling, they decided
to elope. The program went through
according to Hoyle," and the pair
boarded No. 6 at Michigan City Satur-
day evening, arriving in Grand Forks
between and 8 p. m. They went at
once to the Arlington-Park hotel and
asked to be assigned to room. Bechtel
used an assumed name. Being I'M
acquainted with the parties, and be-
ing informed by Bechtel that the girl
was his wife, the hotel clerk assigned
the two to room, which they I'M
mediately occupied.
But nemesis in the shape of the
guilty mans wife was on his trail.
1t apparently did not take her long to
find out where Bechtel had gone and
under what circumstances. The war
rant for his arrest was issued by
Magistrate William Smith, of Michigan
City, and charges desertion, as above
stated. Bechtel has a wife and one
child. The wife is soon to become a
mother.
The defendant was confined in the
county Jail in this city over night, and
was penitent companion for Sheriff
Sveen when he returned this morning
to Michigan to face his angry wife.
The Brooks girl is about IS years of
age, Unless the charge of desertion
is changed to that of adultery, she will
likely not be prosecuted.
A telephone message was received
from the states attorney at Lakota
this afternoon asking for the arrest
of the girl, but up to the time of going
to press she had not been located.

WAS GIVEN 4 SUSPENDED SENTENCE
HOlgate, the Man Who Acted the Part
OF an Insane Person, Was
Rational Today.

E. Holgate the thresher who has
been acting the part of the epileptic
sufferer in the city Jail since Satur-
day afternoon, was arraigned this
morning before Judge Sullivan on a
charge of drunkness and was given
a suspended sentence on condition
that he shake the mud of East Grand
Forks from his shoes and seek other
fields.
The young fellow has evidently been
ill. but as to his sanity there can be
no mistake. He overacted the part
considerably and fellow prisoners in
the Jail state that when no officers
were around he was docile as kit
ten.
His shrieks and cries became so OBJ
noXious on Saturday evening that DR..
Kirk was called to see what allied the
man. The doctor after questioning
him and watching his antics, became
convinced that he was shamming and
gave him shot OF morphine to ease
his sufferings If such they were. Dr..
Kirk at first was of the opinion that
tremons were the cause of the COM
motion, but the actions drove away all
conjectures on this point. The young
fellow was very rational this morning
and said he would leave the city today.
