son at Winnipeg on May 17-CitIzen
Wants to Know "How About the
Money!"
What is the committee that was
named to solicit funds for the Grand
Forks athletic park and baseball team
doing?"
That is the question that was asked
representative of The Evening
Times this morning by citizen who
has been more or less identified with
sports in Grand Forks during past
years. The query was referred to M.
Stanchfield for answer.
IF you know what they are doing,
you certainly are possessed of more
information than ! am" was Mr..
Stanchfield's answer. "All know is
that at the committee meeting last
week, Prof. Brannon gave me to I'M
derstand that the interests which he
represented, namely, the university, Y.
M. G.. A. and Grand Forks high school
and college, would, if Sunday baseball
was foresWOrn, undertake to raise the
funds for the park and for the team,
the understanding being that l direct
the financial end Of the ball team. A
committee was thereupon appointed
to solicit subscriptions. | understand
that they got some money, though
how much, l have not been informed.
One thing sure, matters are being de-
layed, according to my notion, some
what more than necessary. The teams
in other cities in the league have be-
gun practice already, while we haven't
even organized.
I'VE have a very fine string of men
and are simply waiting now for that
committee to get busy. Meantime
everything is up in the air. On my
own responsibility l ordered suits for
the players, SO as not to be delayed
on that account. | also attended the
schedule meeting at Winnipeg on Fri
day and Saturday. paying expenses of
the trip out of my own pocket. 1t
seems to me that it is about time for
tine committee to report something"
Open Mt Winnipeg.
MIR. Stanchfield says that the league
schedule of games has been practi-
cally completed and will be sent out
to the different arrangements for their
approval this week. Each team will
play 100 games. Grand Forks will
open at Winnipeg on May II and will
also play in that city on Dominion
day-July 1. These are two of the
best dates of the year and with fine
weather the receipts would be very
large. MIR. Stanchfield also secured
other concessions in the way of play
ers. An endeavor was made late this
afternoon to get into communication
with members of the soliciting COM
mittee but it was impossible to reach
any of them. 1t is presumed that the
needed money will be forthcoming in
Il day or two. 1t is understood that
the committee has about u third of
the needed funds pledged.

A NEWSPAPER
SQUABBLE
The Valley View Taken Possession Of
by E. w. Robbins of Crookston on a
Msrtgage-Friends Of stoughton
Came to His Aid.

There have been doings galore in thev
city during the last few days, and the
city council and the talk of excluding
newspaper reporters from it's sessions
has paled into insignificance. Satur-
day the Valley View Office was taken
possession of by E. w. Robbins of
Crookston by virtue Of a mortgage
held on the plant, and the Office was
locked. Sunday Editor Stoughton I'M
locked the door with an axe, and pro-
ceeded to hold the fort against all in
truders. This morning Robbins APP
peared for the purpose of issuing the
sheet and running the Office, but
Stoughton sent in call for the police
to eject him, and Robbins retired. The
story Of the trouble is about as fol-
lows: Mr.. Stoughton purchased the
plant from Robbins some years ago,
giving mortgage on the plant for
the purchase money. Mr.. Stoughton
states that there is about 5000 due on
this mortgage debt. Under it's pro-
visions Robbins took possession. Yes
terday Mr.. Stoughton says friends
came to his aid and put up sufficient
money to liquidate the Indebtedness,
some of them making gifts of the do
nations. It Is claimed that the money
is ready to pay of the claims, but that
the holders of the mortgage will be
compelled to take legal steps to fore
close sax

FIRE BUGS In
CROOkSTON
Sunday Fires Gut Establishment Of L.
ID. Larson, and Warehouse of NJ.
Gilbert-Four Fires With Suspicious
Origin Point to Work Of Incendiaries

Special to The Evening Times.
Crookston. Mimi, April 23.-Four
fires, the origin of which is unknown,
occurred in this city Sunday and the
supposition is that the same are the
result of the work of incendiaries.
The large ware house of l.. w. Lar
son, containing a stock of Irvine, oils
and machinery. was badly Quilted by
fire, entailing a loss of about $500,
partly covered by insurance.
Closely following this, fire broke out
in the Gilbert hard ware store house
and the stock was badly scorched,
though not an entire loss. There was
no insurance carried on this building
and contents. An out building in the
red light district took fire, supposedly
set by an incendiary and for time
it looked as if it would spread and
wipe out the buildings near it. A
barn owned by M. Holm was Quilted by
fire at about the same time. The fire
department was kept busy and handled
the fires in the usual able manner
OF the department There is much in
dignation among the citizens and if
the culprits are located it will go hard
with them. There seems to be little
doubt that the fires were all set.

DISCUSSIONS
WERE WARM

saturdays Conference on Football at
+ University Said to Have Been sIn.
teresting"- Pactice of Using .Ring.
ers" for Gathering Rams VIII Cease.
On Saturday afternoon the commit
tee appointed at the last meeting of
the North Dakota Educational associ-
alton to investigate football as played
in this state, held a very animated ses-
sion, lasting from early in the after
noon until after Z o'clock Before
adjournment 1t was agreed among the
delegates that no official report be
given out until several minor matters,
still unsettled, were definitely fixed
upon, SO it will probably be several
days before complete summary of
the deliberations will be Forthcoming.
The first tilt of the meeting was
brought on when the question of MAX
ing new rules for the regulation of
football in this state came up 1t was
finally settled that the official rules
as agreed upon by the big nine con-
ference at Chicago were quite salts
factory, but that the eligibility rules
governing the institutions represented
W ehio oiS A1aS conference were not
entirely appropriate for this state.
There is hardly doubt but that some
changes were made in the following
rules.
I. Rule to the effect that no team
consisting in whole or in part of col
lege students shall play high schools,
| academies, or independent profession
al teams. To go into effect Sept /.
| 1906.
2. Rule regarding the so cents price
of admission.
B. Rule regarding training table.
| There shall be no training table or
training quarters for any athletic
team"
The high schools of the state also
received some little attention and it
is reported that method was adopted
to put an end to the practice INDUCED
In by some of the smaller schools,
that of ringing in" the large bows of
the vicinity with the sole intention of
using them as batterng rams in the
football games.
| The following delegates were in at
tendance at the meeting: University,
President Merrifield, Prof. M. A. Bran
non; agricultural college, Prof. H. l..
Bolley, E. S. Keene; Valley City nor
NAL, President Joseph Carhart; Fargo

RIVER GIVES
UP ITS DEAD
Body vi William Davidson, u Retired
Farmer Of CrOokstOn, Found in the
Red River This Morning-Eyidently
Case of Snicide.
Special to The Evening Times.

Special to The Evening Times.
Crookston, MINI. April 23.-The
body of William Davidson, a well
known and respected farmer of this
city, was found~today floating among
the logs near the mill of the Crooks
ton Lumber company. Identification
was complete by the garments upon
the body and a gold watch and
Masonic pin worn. The remains were
badly decomposed and had evidently
been in the water long time.
The case is sad one. Mr.. David
son was at one time wealthy farmer
of this vicinity, but business reverses
and sickness in his family depleted his
fortune. These matters weighed upon
his mind and on the 26th day of Feb
ruary he disappeared from the Palace
hotel where he boarded and no trace
was found OF him. Remarks he had
made shortly prior to the time of his
disappearance led to the theory Of
suicide which is corfoboraled by the
finding ot the body today. Deceased
is survived by a daughter. Mrs. J. D.
McPhee of this city and daughter Hat
tie, an invalid. Burial will take place
in CrookstOn.

Says Stephens Is Strong.

Minneapolis Journal: While there
is strong jacobson sentiment all
over northern Minnesota it is evident
that Jacobson will have I'd fight for
every delegate he gets in the Eighth
and Ninth districts and for about al
! he SECURES in the Sixth. Two north
sern Minnesota candidates will dispute,
him at every point. Andy Stephens is
setting out to get the Ninth district
solid. A. y. Cole, who Is considered q
certain entry into the race, will look
for delegates In the Sixth, In several
counties of the Eighth and In three or
four Ninth district counties. In these
two candidates lie the greatest trou-
BILE for jacobson. He will have the
bulk of the Seventh district, but not
all of it, and to make the necessary
showing at Duluth he must have q
good string of delegates from the
Sixth.
Stephens is going to make a spec
tacular campaign. He will make
strong appeal for delegates in every
county Of the Ninth, and also in other,
districts, especially down in the Third,
where he was born and brought up.
4 II is expected that the Stephens men
will make demonstrations at Duluth,
with banners and brass bands. Steph-..
ems will contest with Cole and Black
for the st. Louis delegation.
The Cole candidacy is about the only
one thas has not been brought out in,
the open, and 1t is giving the other.
aspirants some uneasiness. In adj
vance of any declaration from the
Walker man, sentiment Is. beginning to
1 be manifested In his favor not only
In the northern counties, but In com
munities in the central and southern
sections. The state development slo-
gan has appealed to . good many busi-
ness men who are IN politics more or
less. 4 d. .3.
