The Republican detection is also
severe blow TO the administration. the

preliminary organization.
He favored the election of Colonel
Moore for president of the senate and
of Mr. Ray for speaker of the house.
The machine selected Senator Seth for
president and Mr.. Benson for speaker,
and the machine won out. Again the
executive objected to the reelection of
Treasurer Vandiver and urged the law
makers to substitute ex-senator Hub

ELECTION DAY DRAWS NEAR
There Is . Heavy Demand for Repub.
lfcan Speakers Throughout
the State.

As election day draws closer the
fight is becoming little more spirited,
this fact being shown by the large
number Of communications being sent
In to the committee and to the papers
and by the heavy demand for speakers
for republican rallies throughout the
state. This demand for speakers, espe-
cially in the southern part of the state,
is one that puzzles the republican lead
ers. In this part of the state public
speakers abound, but in the western
and southern sections there is a scar
city. Heretofore the campaign COM
mittee depended on outside speakers
for assistance but this year It has been
an utter impossibility to secure them.
The party leaders in the other states
are being detained in their home states
and this makes the work of the cam
paign managers quiet burdensome, as
the committee is anxious to have
speakers to fill all requests.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
is lack Of speakers to fill the re-
quests the campaign managers are not
leaving stone unturned In the mat
ter Of presenting the true facts about
the candidates before the voters of the
state and in those localities where 1t
will be impossible to get speakers to
address the meetings, the voters are
being supplied with literature giving
a graphic description of what the par
ty and the candidates have done in the
past.
A new descriptive folder is being
sent out by the committee throughout
the state containing pictures of the
states candidates and biographical
sketches of each of them.

ABSENT OVER TWO WEEKS
Jacob Brecthel Left Without Notifying
Attorney and Divorce Suit Hangs
In the Balance.

Attorney 8. G. Skulason, who has
been handling divorce suit for Jacob
Brecthel told an Evening Times rep
resentative this morning that he had
not seen his client for several days.
Brecthel had cash bond of 500 de-
posted for his appearance and it is
presumed that this cash bond is now
forfeited. Last Saturday Judge Fisk
signed an order restraining Brecthel
from taking any further action for a
divorce until he had paid his wife the
sum of $50 for attorneys fees and for
suit money but Brecthel had left the
city before the report was given out.
The night he left he told his employer,
Mr.. Babler, that he was going to St..
Paul but would return inside of three
or four days. He has now been gone
over two weeks and not word has
been heard from him either by his at
torney or by his friends.
Brecthel first came into court sew
eral weeks ago when upon complaint
of his wife he was arrested on a
charge of abandonment and refusal to
support her and the 2-year-old child.
After furnishing the 500 bond he was
bound over to the district court. The
divorce suit followed, Brecthel charg-
ing his wife with cruel and inhuman
treatment and intimation that another
man had displaced him in his wife's
affections,

M. NJ. May, state organizer of tn.

are mutual protection to the members.
Legislation will be asked at the next
session Of the legislature giving the
mechanics lien upon the machinery

same as other mechanics liens. The
wisdom Of this is shown by the state

GOT FEET IN DELIVERY RIG
Horse Belonging to Minnesota Farmer
Trailed Down Fourth street WIN
Feet In Raised Position.

This morning about II o'clock a
team belonging to prominent Min
nesota farmer did stunt at high
kicking on Fourth street that sur
prised pedestrians. The team was be-
ing driven from the south end of the
city and, when it had reached point
in the rear of the Clifford block, the
driver had occasion to drive up be-
hind delivery wagon. The farm
team was wild, and the sight of the
groceries in the rear of the delivery
wagon probably melted it to action,
for without further notice the horses
began to snort and kick in frenzied
manner. One of the horses, q big
black, finally kicked his front feet
squarely into the wagon In front,
which at once was started off down
the street with the farm team dragging
along behind. Several citizens, with
Officer Sullivan, rushed to the rescue,
but the then thoroughly aroused team
refused to be advised and tore off
block at a fast clip. They, were fin
ally stopped, not without considerable
difficulty, near the Methodist church.
The blackboard of the delivery wa
gon suffered the most from the Incl
dent, it being torn from it's hinges be-
fore the horses feet was extricated
from amongst the groceries.

PR0TRUOEO FROM FLESH
The Injury to Julius Cresien More
Serious Than at First Reported
Wrist DislOcated.

Julius Cresien, a resident of East
Grand Forks. arrived in the city last
night from Minot and was taken i'm
mediately to the Deaconess hospital.
As noted in these columns last even
ing Mr.. Cresien suffered severe acct
dent on Saturday night at Minot. He
was endeavoring to catch train at
the time and in so doing started OH
run for it. When he reached the
ditch he stumbled over his suit case
and fell, striking his elbow on the
jagged edges Of large rock which re-
posed in the bottom Of the ditch.
Mr.. Cresien now lies in the hospital
with his arm bandaged up and severe
pains shooting through his body. At
the time of the accident the wrist
was dislocated and the ends of the
bones in the forearm protruded
through the flesh. This morning the
wound was sewed up and the bones
replaced.

No liquor was found on his person
and he does not look like a drinking
man, so whisky is not the cause of
the downfall as was at first supposed.
After falling the first time almost on
the railroad track opposite the Flat
iron building. the half-crazed sufferer
endeavored to rise but fell again at
each attempt.
No one ventured to lay hands on him
and until the arrival Of the police he
squirmed around on the ground,
frothing at the mouth and in every
way acting like mad man.
He was doing nicely at last reports
this afternoon and a speedy recovery
is looked for. 1t was no small task
to get information out of the man
owing to his condition and to that
fact that his hearing was impaired.
When he fell he struck the side of
his head on projecting stone and
blood oozed from his ears and mouth.

to lose that amount of the earnings.
or to so fix their prices as to lower
1nese losses allowing the honest Gus
toners who pay their bills to stand
the extra price. The mechanics have
wisely decided that the thing to do is
to get such legislation as will enable
them to collect those bills and place
them In a position to actually reduce
the cost of work by eliminating the
uncollectible class. 1t would seem
that under these conditions the farm
ers and other patrons would Join
hands in urging the adoption of the
laws desired by the blacksmiths.
The next session of the organization
will be held at Bismarck on the first
Monday in February. during the ses-
sion Of the legislature.

6. \. PAYROLL VERY HEAVY
Engineers, Firemen, Conductors and
Brakemen Are Kept at Work.

Railroad men OF all classes are in
great demand in Grand Forks at the
present time, and due to the great
amount Of freight which is being han
died on the Great Northern, the pres
ent force, especially in train and en-
CINE crews, is being worked very
steadily and Is getting in a great
amount Of overtime.
Every available man upon the list
of railroad employees is being made use
of and it Is said that there is not a
railroad man in the city but who is
being given steady employment.
Engineers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen are being kept almost con-
tfnually at work and being allowed but
little time between trips. A train crew
hardly reaches terminal or division
point until It is given orders for the
next trip and It is said that If the work
keeps up for the balance of the month
as 1t has so far, the train men will
have pay coming for in the neighbor-
hod of so days for the month.
The payroll for the month will be
accordingly heavy and the wages of
the men will almost equal those of
many Of the higher officers.

FARGO-ANETA BRANCH.
Trains Are Expected to Be IN Opera.
ton Within the Next Thirty

D0y6s
In all probability trains will be rum
ming between Fargo and Devils Lake
over the new Aneta-Devils Lake ex-
tension within the next thirty DAYS.
Work on the extension is progressing
rapidly. The track is being laid at the
rate of two miles per day, and local
ofiicials are confident that the road
will be ready for use some time be-
fore Thanksgiving.
When the new line is opened it is
expected that change viii be effect
ed in the schedule which will result in
the running of more trains over this
branch, and perhaps an additional
train through Fargo. At present only
one way freight and one local pas
senger are run over this line, the lat
ter leaving Fargo at 500 p. m. and
arriving here on the return trip at
1O:55 a. m. 1t is believed that Great
Northern officials are only awaiting
the completion of this new line to
change the running schedule of trans
continental trains, Nos. 3 and 4. It
Is practically certain that these trains
will be run over the new extension
from Casselton, as it viii be much
shorter than the present route by way
Of Larimore, and will be, in fact, the
shortest way for the Great Northern
to run its coast trains; and 1t is I'M
derstood that when the change 10
made, trains Nos. and will be run
through Fargo, as it was predicted
they would be some time ago.

Ryland of FOsst0n.

]. Ryland of Fosston, is out just
$4,000 for his intimacy with a
stranger, with whom he became &C.
quainted in this city yesterday. The
stranger accompanied Mr.. Ryland to
Crookston and they proceeded to get
gloriously drunk. The obliging friend
put Ryland to bed and later skipped
the city, probably taking freight for
the east. Incidently he took $95-at
least that is what Ryland says. The
stranger was apprehended in st. Paul
last evening and If necessary will be
brought back to Crookston.
The victim of the robbery cannot
remember anything that happened
after taking the first drink with his
chace acquaintance until he awakened
in the morning, when, upon investiga-
ton, he discovered that his money,
with the exception of IS, which the
thief had the good will to leave, was
gone.

BLOOD 00zED FROM EARS
James Murphy, Epileptic Sufferer,
Seized With Fit on Corner of
Kitts0n and Fourth Street.

This morning about o'clock the
police received hurry call to the
corner Of Kittson and Fourth street
where man had fallen in an epilep-
tic fit and lay groaning and writing
in pain. The police responded and
took the man in charge at once. DR..
Taylor was summoned and the man
was removed to the Deaconess hos
pital where he has remained all day
in a semi-dazed condition.
When interviewed by Chief Lowe
this noon at the hospital he gave his
name as James Murphy: his fathers
name as John Murphy with home at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He said he had
been working on an extra gang for
the Great Northern out Of this city.
A search Of the mans pockets brought
to light union card bearing the name
Of Peterson and he was asked how it
happened that his name was Murphy
when his union card gave Peterson.
The fellow answered that Peterson
owned the card and has lent It to him.
Peterson was the boss Of the extra
gang when he got the card from him.

Key West merchant has pleaded not
guilty and will fight the case to the
bitter end.
Skarud claims he bought the goods
from Grand Forks wholesale house,
and further states that he took the
matter up with the Grand Forks firm
with the result that he was instructed
to fight the case to finish. On the
other hand, Inspector Heiberg claims
that Skarud had two different kinds of
goods, on his shelves, both purchased
from the local firm, neither one Of
which complied with the Minnesota
pure food law. Sharud is hardly to
blame in the matter, as the goods
were undoubtedly purchased in good
faith, but nevertheless If he Is found
guilty the costs in the action will fall
heavily upon his shoulders, as Inspec-
tor Heiberg and the state chemist will
necessarily have to return from st.
Paul to act as witnesses.

AM|UNDSON TO PASS
THROUGH GRAND
FORKS
Noted Arctic Explorer En-
route Home to Norway
From Seattle.
HAS $1,000 BAG OF FURS
Will Go Through Over the
Great Northern Next Mon
day Night.
HAS $4,000 BAG OF FURs

Capt. ROAD Amundsen, who, in his
little slOOp, Gjoa, successfully trav-
ersed the northwest passage from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, will pass
through this city next Monday night
from the west, enroute back to Nor
way.
Capt. Amundsen Is shipping to Nor
way bag of skins valued at $4,000.
The bag has already been forwarded
from Seattle. 1t contains some rare
skins collected during the trip through
the passage.
One of the greatest feats in the his
tory of Arctic exploration has been
quietly performed by Capt. Amund-
sen in his little sloop. Since 1897,
when John Cabot is said to have tried
to pass through the Arctic ocean to
the Pacific, there have been many ef-
forts to discover the much-sought-for
northwest passage. Hundreds of men
have persisted in the attempt. The
northwest passage has indeed been
previously explored from each end,
so that its whole course was known
to geographers, but 1t had never been
traversed Its entire length by single
vessel.
Capt. Amundsen sailed from Norway
on June I, 1903, in his forty-ton sloop.
The Gjoa was not built especially for
Arctic work, but was strengthened
with a sheathing of two-inch oak
planks and equipped with petroleum
motor Of thirteen horse power, by the
help of which she was able to attain
a speed of three knots in smooth wa
ter. She relied, however, chiefly on
her sails.
The chief object of the expedition
was to force a way into the region
about the north pole and to make OBJ
servations at fixed station during IN
extended period. For this purpose the
expedition was furnished with ma
ghetto instruments. The location Of
the magnetic pole was discovered on
June Of last year, two years after
the expedition started. Many new
islands between King Williams Land,
Victoria Land and the American coast
were discovered, and the east coast of
Victoria Land was charted as far
north as latitude 72 deg. 10 min. The
winters of both 1903 and 1904 were
spent in harbor on the south shores
Of King Williams Land, which lies
just west of Boothia Felix peninsula.
Last summer the explorers left win
ter quarters and continued the voyage
westward. The passage was almost
completed last year, but winter set in
early and the way was blocked by ice
at point just west of the Mackenzie
river. The expedition numbered seven
members, the second in command be-
ing Lieut.. Godfred Hansen of the
Danish navy, and the total cost of the
equipment was less than SIS, 900.
