and Only Seven Return
Funerals Today.

A report received in this city today
from Buxton says that two young
ladies, Lena and Nellie Gjerdahl. resi-
dents of that town, and Miss King
were drowned in Lake Cormorant at
Lake Park, MIMI, on Wednesday even
ing Miss Nellie Gjerdahl. one Of the
victims of the accident. was tele-
change.
The details of the drowning are
somewhat vague, but as nearly as can
be learned, six young men and four
young women. members of camp
ing party at Lake Cormorant, went in
to deep water on a raft. which, being
overloaded. was easily capsized. All
ten of the young people were precipi-
tated into the lake. One young lady
and all the young men succeeded in
getting ashore but Lena GjeIdahl, aged
~. Nellie Gjerdahl. aged "a, and
Miss King, were all drowned in plain
sight.
The bodies were recovered Thurs
day morning.
Mrs. Halvorson of Buxton. a sister
of the Gjerdahl girls. left yesterday
for Lake Park in response to a tele-
gram. l,
The funerals were held at Lake Park
this afternoon and the remains of the
Gjerdahl sisters will in every likeli-
hood be brought to Buxton for final
interment.

among Lake Park people because of
the failure of the six young men in

Is claimed they could have done had

OLAF NORDBY DEAD.

Prof. Olaf Nordby, we'll known
farmer of Argusville and formerly an
instructor at the agricultural college,
is dead, at his home, of tuberculosis.
Professor Nordby has been for some
time sufferer from consumption and
his death was not unexpected as he
has been failing for some time. He
was "a years old and leaves wife
and one child to mourn his loss.
The funeral was held Yesterday from
the farm home and Rev. Simon Roms-
dahl, pastor of the Norwegian Luth-
eran Free church of Fargo officiated.
Professor Nordby, whose home was
originally near Diesem, came to Far
go four years ago and accepted a
position as instructor in the mechan-
ical engineering course at the agri-
cultural college. He remained only
one year, when failing health caused
him to resign. Believing that life in
the open air might help him he be-
gan farming near Argusville. The ia
tai disease, however, had a firm grip
upon him and the change in his life
failed to have the beneficial effect de-
sired. He has been failing slowly for
some time and the end came yesterday.

UNIVERSITY Of \. D,
WILL Open ON
SEPT. Is
Twenty Third Annual Session
Begins Next Month-Many
Students Expected.

In about months time the open
ing of the University of North Dakota
for the school year laO6-'O7 will occur
and probably over 700 students will
take possession OF the city. The COM
ing year will be the twenty-thfrd an
nual session of the institution and,
with the many improvements now be-
ing completed, the university ought to
jump to the front very rapidly. The
one thing that is really bothering the
officers is the lack OF space to accom-
mOdate the number of students that
are expected this fall. The legislature
at Its next meeting will undoubtedly
provide some means for taking care of
the increased attendance but this will
not abate the difficulties that will be
experienced this year. Last year a
total of 735 students enrolled at the
university and several times during
the winter term especially. when any
prominent speaker was present to adj
dress the body of students. there was
insufficient room to seat the young
ladies in the chapel hall. let alone ac-
commOdate the men.
The official opening of the univer-
sity this year takes place on Tuesday,
Sept. %.

In the course Of the confab which

preached, and, speaking of the Fargo
and Grand Forks tracks. the Fargo
merchant said: well. don't say
that the Fargo track is as good as the

A GRAVE CASE
Willie Thompson Formally
Charged With Arson in
Fourth Degree.

The case of Willie Thompson came
up this morning in the district court
and was put over again until tomor-
row at $3.50. The lad was placed under
$500 bonds. The case briefly re-
viewed is as follows:
Some time ago on the complaint
that the boy set fire to the Kennedy
barn on University avenue, he was
fourth degree. Judge Church bound
him over to the district court, after
which States Attorney j. B. Wineman
had an order issued to John Tibbals
to show cause on August Is why Willie
Thompson should not be sent to the
reform school. :. SOU
1t came up on the 18th and w. L. A.
Calder, upon the absence of any attor-
ney to represent the accused, was APP
pointed as counsel At the hearing on
that date, the state put in its evidence
and upon resting the case, Willie
Thompson was put upon the stand In
his own behalf. Then Judge Fisk ad-
jOurned the court until today when the
matter came up again.
When the case was called this morn
ing Attorney Calder made a motion
that the proceedings be dismissed on
the grounds that the boy had never
been placed on trial or given chance
to plead, and, being charged with the
commission Off felony, he was en-
titled to a trial by jury before he could
be found guilty. The Judge granted
this and dismissed the proceedings,
whereupon Mr. Wineman filed infor-
nation charging the lad, who is but 10
years old, with arson in the fourth
degree. Attorney Calder then asked
for the statutory time in which to
plead and the case was continued until
tomorrow when some interesting
developments are promised.

DIFFERENTIALS FIXED.
Western Trunk Lines Agree on the Ex.
port Grain Rates.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE long-standing
controversy involving the differentials
between the gulf and the seaboard on
export grain from Missouri river points
was adjusted here yesterday at spe-
cial meeting of the executive officers
of the Western Trunk lines committee.
This differential has been a trouble
some factor in export grain rate maxi
ing for number of years and 1t is
believed that the solution reached will
permanently settle the controversy.
According to the provisions Of the
agreement, which expires April 1, 1907,
the gulf lines will receive differen-
tial of five cents on all grains from
Kansas City and four cents from Oma-
ha. None OF the published tariffs shall
include the "fobbing" charge either
at the seaboard or the gulf. A feature
of the adjustment is the extension of
the differential to cover wheat which
has hitherto remained outside the
range of discussion. The new tariffs
go into effect September 1.

A Good Field for Chiropodist Chief
Lowe Says.

Applicants for a place on the force"
of the finest hereafter must be chiropo-
died says Chief Lowe. They must
have perfect foot in order to swing a
club. In other words. when they are
at inspection they must hist" as would
a horse to a prospective buyer. The
coppers who take with them their
raincoats every time their corns be-
gin to ache will gradually have to
walk the plank. The chief has de-
clared that the cops will have to be
minus corns, ingrowing toe nails, cal
loused skin, and other affections which
mar the beauty of the peeler's
"tootsies." and at all times render
them unfit for duty.
