ORIENTAL WRECKED
BUT NO ONE
KILLED
Fast Limited, No. 2, Went Into
Ditch In Montana-sev-
eral Injured.

No. 2, the Oriental Limited on the
Great Northern, due here at noon to-
day, did not reach the city, because of
a serious accident at Dodson, Montana,
last night when the entire train but
one or two rear coaches was ditched.
No one is reported killed, but several
passengers were severely cut and
bruised.
EXPRESS MESSENGER Moon
MEL, of White Fish, Montana, who is
we'll known here, was badly hurt, as
was also ASA F. ROBERTS of Minot,
mail clerk, who was severely injured.
DIR. H. NJ. WHEELER, the COM
pany's local physician, went west this
morning.
Full particulars of the extent of
the wreck and it's cause are not avail
able here this afternoon, though Supt.
Nicholson of the Dakota division has
been notified. The track will be clear
sometime before night.

GE|sT POPULAR WITH YOUNG LADIES
Thousands Of Gallons of Gefst's
"Famous" Sold Every Year
In North Dakota.

1t is certain that the girl who is
considered the sweetest thing in the
world by her fellow is not the only
individual who INDUCES in the luxury
of ice cream. They could not eat all
which is manufactured in this city If
every girl in the entire state belonged
to the class who are supposed to trans
fer the cash of their best fellows to
the, ice cream men.
Among the unique businesses of the
city is that of wholesaling this de-
licious article. H. X. .Geist not only
supplies a large number of the ice
cream parlors of the city with his
Famous" cream, but ships it to near
ly every part of the state which can be
reached by rail. A visit to the sew
eral towns of the state, especially in
the northern portion, will give some
idea of the extent of the supply sent
out from the factory. In nearly every
one of the towns will be found the
name of the Grand Forks product dis
played in the windows Of the ice cream
resort, or else painted in flashy colors
upon the sidewalks.
1t is probable that Geist is more
talked about by the girls of the state
than any other man, for his ice cream
is SO popular that almost every one of
them demand 1t when being served,
and the rare and excellent qualities
cause them to give many compliments
to the maker.
This is fast becoming one of the
industries of the city. 1t would seem
at first glance that 1t would be too
small to give any importance to the
city, but the fact that It is now impos-
sible to procure sufficient cream to
supply the demand shows that it is
much larger than it would seem. Mr..
Geist is planning to secure a larger
supply of cream regularly next year
SO that there will be no danger but
that he will be able to supply his
Famous" ice cream to the entire trade
of the northern portion of the state
and the territory contributory to this
city.

oPHN|NG OF THE ls06.07 TERN
Upwards Of 5000 Young People As.
signed to Their Grades in the
Schools Today.

The busiest man in the city TODAY
is City Superintendent Kelly. From
early this morning he has simply been
surrounded by q crowd of bright-faced
children and interested parents who
were trying to get their youngsters
properly adjusted to the school work.
Many men would have become impa-
tient and lost their heads SO to speak,
but the popular superintendent had
his finger on every detail so we'll that
he could with word dispose of almost
any matter which came up.
1t was rather an interesting sight.
Here was a mother with a boy who
had never been In school and his
name. age and other details were
quickly noted and he was sent to the
grade where his education was to be-
gin. Here was a parent who was
newcomer in the city and desired to
have his child assigned to a certain
grade and in q, moment the assign
ment was made and the child sent to
the room. So things followed in rapid
succession. In few minutes Mr.
Kelly had disposed of as many waiting
visitors as the president can of Office
seekers at a public reception.
A stroll about the school buildings
this morning would give the lie to the
photographers who claim that the chill
dren return to the school work with
the same degree of happiness that an
ex-convict returns to prison. There
was laughter and merriment and happy
smiles everywhere this morning. The
bright faces of the children showed
that instead of school being a task
1t was really pleasure and the sur
roundfngs this morning were more like
those of holiday and picnic than any,
thing which would have the appear
ance of being burden.

The DANGER Of "FLY|ne" SWITCHES
Complaint That Railroad Yardmen Are
Disobeying Rules and Unneces.
sarily Endaugering Life.

Considerable complaint is being
made by people who have to cross the
Great Northern tracks in this city be-
cause Of the habit of the trainmen of
making what are known as flying
switches across the two principal
streets used by the public in reaching
the two sections of the city.
Not long since a boy driving a slow
going family horse was nearly caught
In crossing the tracks, while one of
these switches was being made. It is
true that he had to some extent dis
regarded the gateman's signal, but
being from the country probably did
not understand it. Certain it is that
If there had been no flying switch made
he would not have been in the least
danger.
It is contrary to the regulations of
the road to make these switches and
in all probability the greatest care is
exercised in doing so, but the fact re-
mains that they are dangerous in a
city of this size and especially when
made across streets which are travelled
as much as Fourth and Fifth Streets
and Kitts0n avenue are.

B[ACK|E'S PAL Hello
FOR HIGHWAY
ROBBERY
Judge Smith at Valley City
Binds Tom connors Over
For Trial.

A dispatch from Valley City says
that Tom Connors, known to be the
partner Of 8. M. Shorting, alias Black
It," was bound over to the district
court by Judge Smith at his prelimin-
airy hearing. He has just served a
term of ten days for vagrancy and was
arraigned on the complaint of highway
robbery, having stolen $14 in money
and watch valued at $40 from John
M. Richardson, the brakeman that was
held up at Sanborn.
Richardson positively Identified
Connors as the man who had entered
their caboose with a candle in one
hand and a revolver in the other. He
held Richardson and C. c. Fitch up and
ordered "Blackie" to go through them.
During the operation he made
threats to kill them If there was any
resistance offered. Both of the train
men told the same story and positive
ly identified Connors as the holdup
artist. -
Thomas Finn, a farm laborer, was
examined and identified Connors as
one of two men, the other being
"Blackie," who had held him up at
Sanborn the same night of the other
holdup, at which time he lost $3.50.
At the conclusion Of the hearing
Judge Smith bound Connors over to
the district court on two charges and
fixed bail at $4,000,

SEASON OPENS At METROPOLITAN
Large Audience Saw tumble Of
Pleasurable Ludicrousness Sat.
urday Night.

Under suspicious weather and with
a large and enthusiastic audience pres
ent, the 1867 theatrical season for
Grand Forks opened at the Metropoli-
tan opera house on Saturday evening.
"The Maid and the Mummy" the
opening bill, is a musical comedy
largely comedy-it might be said,
though there are to be heard during
the course Of its recital several very
catchy and pleasing skits. The main
forte Of the production, however, seems
to be in providing comedy. Some peo-
pie are pleased with one particular
style of comedy, and others with diff
ferent kind. There were all kinds of
it Saturday evening, so many varieties,
in fact, that the never-changing pro-
gram became somewhat tiresome at
times.
Generally speaking, though, and
judging from the generousness of ap-
plause, a greater number of those
present were pleased and satisfied they
had received their moneys worth.

BROUGHT HOME A FINE TROPHY
Willis A. German Relief Corps Award.
ed Handsome Flag.

Willis A. German Relief Corps of this
city is the possessor of a new and
handsome bunting flag, awarded by
Department Commander Bigelow Of
the state G. A. r. as the prize in the
decoration contest Many Of the diff
ferent state departments participating
in the G.. A. r. Parade at the national
encampment in Minneapolis carried or
wore state emblems in some form.
Kansas veterans, for instance, carried
sunflowers, and South Dakotans ears
of corn. The North Dakota emblem
was wheat and Commander BigelOw
offered the prize to the crops providing
the best arranged collection. The
members of the Willis A. German
corps arranged fifty small sheaves of
wheat for the hats of the North Da-
kota veterans in the parade, like
number of small sheaves for the lapels
of their coats and also wheat stalk
canes for them to carry, and their
wheat was awarded the prize. The
trophy was brought home by Mrs.
Sprague on her return to the city on
Wednesday, and will be given a place
of honor in the post hall.

.BAPT|sTs WILL USE STEAM HEAT
Spriggs Bros. Take Contract for $1,000
to Install Necessary Coils.

Spriggs Bros, who were recently
awarded the contract for the installa-
tfon of the steam heating system IN the
Baptist church, began active work on
Saturday and the contract will be
pushed to completion. The changes
are quite extensive and will aggregate
about $1,000. Steam coils will be in
stalled throughout the edifice and a
branch will be run from the large main
under the street to the church. City
steam will be used and 1t Is expected
that the new system will be better in
every respect than the old way Of
heating the building.

Loss IS $4,000 OVER INSURANCE
Senator Bacon Has to Put Tn With
Many Inconveniences Since
the Fire.

Last, Fridays disastrous fire at
the Bacon farm was more destructive
than was at first reported. Six fine
calves have not been found and it is
now certain that they were burned.
The inventory of property is not COM
plete, but at this time there are
enough items missing to indicate a loss
of at least $4,000 outside of what was
covered by insurance. The damage is
not alone in the actual loss of the
property by fire, but in the incon-
veniences which follow the destruc-
tion of the buildings. Every COW must
be caught and tied while being MIXED
and then the milk must be carried half
mile and separated by hand instead
of by steam as was the case formerly.

Sen. BACON LEASES
BUILDINGS Of
FAIR ASSN
Will Use Them Until Such
Time as Destroyed Barns
Can Be Rebuilt.

A contract was made today between
the directors of the fair association
and ]. d. Bacon, whereby the latter
has secured the use of the barns on
the fair grounds for temporary quar-
tiers for his stock until such time as
he can rebuild. 1t is understood that
he will rebuild but that the work will
not be undertaken during the scarcity
of labor incident to the threshing and
fall work on the farm.
The Lilac Hedge farm was one of
the best in the state and when per-
fected, as it was the desire to do, it
would have been model one through
out. 1t was to some extent an expert
mental farm and the Investigations
which were carried on there every
year were what might be termed ad-
vanced positions along this line. The
proprietor did not wait for someone
else to experiment with an idea, but
did it himself. In this way the farm
was becoming noted all over the state.
When once the degree of perfection
had been reached which it was desired
to attain, the farm would have in
creased the value of every acre of land
in proximity to it at least $25, by prov
ing that the lands of the Red river val
ley and especially those near the city
of Grand Forks, when properly diver
sified, can be made to yield the great
est agricultural returns of any in the
world.
The splendid herd of cattle which
was kept on the farm was the peer
of any in the northwest and it was a
credit to the owners and the state.
1t was worth thousands of dollars to
this city to have as nearly perfect a
model farm as this one was so near
the city where the visitors from other
states could be taken when in the city
and shown the kind of farms which
are possible IN this state. 1t is for
such reasons as this that it is hoped
by everyone that the barns will be re-
built and the farm continued as it has
been in the past, to be made one of
the finest in the state.

M'MULLEN HARNESS
SHOP SOLD FOR
$4,000
Mahowald Bros. Purchase Old
est Established Harness
: Business In the State.

Announcement was made in BUSH
ness circles today of the completion
of deal whereby the large retail har-
ness business conducted by T. J. Nc
Mullen (now deceased) and of late by
his son, Charles c. McMullen, has
been sold outright to Mahowald Bros.
IN. H. and Joseph) Of Fairfax and Hec-
tor, MINI, respectively.
The consideration in the sale, which
includes the stock, accounts and bonus,
but not the property itself, is given at
$4,000.
Mahowald Bros. received a formal
transfer today. They announce that in
addition to the retail trade they will
enlarge and conduct a wholesale bust
ness. The McMullen shop is already
accredited with doing the largest re-
tail harness business in the state.
The Mahowalds are both experienced
men, one having been engaged in the
harness manufacturing line for %
years and the other for 10 years. Both
are married men and will bring their
families to this city about October 1.
They will be generally welcomed to the
city.
Twenty-six years ago the late Thos.
j. McMullen came to Grand Forks
from Perth, Ont, and opened up
harness shop. Attention to details
and good treatment of customers re-
suited in steady growth of business,
until at the time of Mr.. Mullen's death
several months ago, his annual sales
ran we'll above the $15, 900 mark. Since
then the trade has been very success
fully cared for by his son, Charles c.
McMullen. The latter withdraws to
engage in another line of business,
more suited to him, announcement of
which is deferred for the present. Mr..
McMullen is young man of excellent
business ability and will no doubt
make a success OF whatsoever line he
NAV elect to engage in.
The Evening Times predicts for
Mahowald Bros. successful continu-
alton of the business which they today
purchased.

little HARRY BYOA[
BROWNS IN Red
LAKE RIVER
Sad Drowning Accident Sun
day Above Saw Mill
Body Not Recovered.

sad drowning accident happened
Yesterday afternoon in the treacherous
HE'D Lake river, short distance above
the saw mills, when little Harry By
dial, son of Alderman C. Bydal, of East
Grand Forks, sank for the last time
to a watery grave. The lad was a
bright boy with a sunny disposition.
and his loss will be keenly felt by
parents and neighbors alike. He was
II years of age and attended the city
schools, being in the 5th grade. The
lad has been on a farm near the city
all summer and came in only last
week to attend school. 1t has been
the custom of the youth of the city
during the summer to battle in the
river and especially on Sundays a
large number of swimmers are gath
cred together.
Yesterday in company with a num-
Der of other lads Harry sought relief
from the intense heat and had been
IN the water for some time when the
accident occurred. He was about 20
feet from shore and seemingly all right
when suddenly he went down several
times. AS he uttered no cry of help,
NO attention was paid to him until he
sank for the last time when call of
He's drowning" arose from the boys
on the bank. Immediately a frantic
effort was made to recover the body,
but to no avail and the news of the
accident was conveyed to the city and
searching parties organized. All day
yesterday the river was crowded with
boats supplied with graphing hooks
and with divers but on account of the
many logs and stumps on the river
bottom there seems but little chance
to recover the body in this manner.
Rivermen who have frequented the
water for years are of the opinion
that the remains are wedged some
where under the jam of logs at the
saw mill and they have now ordered
all logs up the river to be held and
those at the mill will be removed as
fast as possible. This morning the
work was resumed and dynamite will
be brought into use to see If the body
cannot be raised. A long net was
stretched acrosS the river below the
mill at the lover bridge. so if the
body gets past the log jam it will be
caught in the net.
The boy must have been seized with
cramps and became so frightened he
was unable to cry for assistance.
