USE. BARE KNUCKLES
Two Plumbers Exchange Fistic
Courtesies Last Evening
Case Settled.

tne GanS-NelSOn night WAS not the
only one on the bill of fare last evening
by any means. Shortly after z o'clock,
residents OF DeMers avenue in the
vicinity of the ingalls, house were
treated to an exhibition of the manly
art and at no cost to themselves.
The beligerents fought for no purse
money and the spectators had Il fine
point of vantage from neighborlng
hotels, Office windows and street cor
ners.
The ring itself extended all over the
street and before the police interfered
the scrap developed into running
match with now and then slight in
terruptfon when one of the contestants
overlook the other and they rolled in
the dust 1t was truly edifying.
AS near as can be gathered from the
conversation INDUCED in by friends of
the men in the quarrel. some one had
called some one "scab" and 1t was
resented most seriously. The only sat
isfactory manner to decide who was a
scab and who was not, seemed to be
with fists and the party opened with a
fine display Of fireworks. A police
officer took the two young men, w. J.
Fox. a plumber employed by Frank
l.. Dixon and B. ]. Wallace. in the en-
ploy of Spriggs Bros. to the police
station where their stories were list
ened to. 1t seems the the quarrel arose
out OF discussion of unionism and
1t Is alleged that Fox biffed Wallace
in retaliation for some blow or blows
Wallace is said to have donated to the
facial establishment of some other
nlumher earlier in tho dav Tho mot
ter was to be threshed over this after
noon but will undoubtedly be fixed up
out of court as both the young men
are not inclined to wransles of the sort
and the ,convivialitities of Labor day
may have been as much responsible
as anything for the misunderstanding.

Fargo Hunters.

The sickest looking bunch of hunt
ers that ever returned from the field
of battle came home last evening with
little more than a days experience,
for they report that the chickens have
come the ''skidoo" act and there isn't
one to be found, says the Fargo Call.
Several parties returned, having COW
cred a large amount of territory with
fine dogs, but the chicks had flown and
the most that has been reported
brought back is two by on eparty and
three by another. When seen last
evening, Game Warden Sarr stated
that the condition this season was
much the same as in prior years, the
birds having gone to high land just
before the opening.

NO MONEY FOR TESTS.
Ladd May Not Be Able to Test Flour
and Grain.

State Food Commissioner Ladd's
chemical and baking tests of North
Dakota wheat have been brought to
a sudden stop. Word was received
from Bismarck this morning to the
effect that money for the installation
OF the necessary machinery for the
continuation Of the tests could not be
provided at this time.
While the state law provides that
the tests shall he made. no provision
is made for money for carrying on the
tests and the work which has already
been done has been paid out of the
funds appropriated for the operation
of the agricultural college. The col
lese appropriation has been about
exhausted and the work has necessar-
lily come to halt.-Fargo Forum.
