steve COLLINS on CROP SUBJECT
Disagrees With Professor Shaw in His
Soil Doctrine Recently
Promulgated.

Steve Collins Of this city is not a
believer in the doctrine recently pro-
mulgated by Prof. Shaw that the rea-
son there are no longer any big crops
of wheat raised in this part of the
state is because the land from contin-
uous wheat cropping has become
wheat sick. Mr.. Collins was one of
the first settlers in this part of the
state and has been careful observer
of the development of hard wheat rails
ing from its first inception to the pres
ent time. He knows more about the
conditions than Prof. Shaw because
he has studied them at close range.
His idea is that the wheat crop is
just like any other crop-that there
must be suitable weather conditions
during the growing season to properly
develop the grain. Unless these con-
ditions are present there will be a
shortage of the crop. In proof of his
contention he cited the case of a piece
of new land on the Thompson farm
near lnkster which has its first wheat
crop this year. The crop was thresh-
ed Thursday of this week and yielded
about five bushels to the acre. The
land was in good condition but the
weather conditions were such that the
grain was injured at the very time it
most needed perfect weather.

Wants Husbands Property.

This afternoon in chambers Judge
Fisk heard arguments in the case of
Mrs. Trinstrud of Aneta against her
husband. the matter coming up on a
petition to have the care of the hus-
bands property turned over to his
wife. Trinstrud deserted his family
some time ago and went to Norway,
but before doing SO he decided his
property to his sister leaving his fam
lily in destitute circumstances. The
action was brought to set aside the
conveyance to the sister and turn the
property over to the wife under the
provisions of the laws of 1890. The
question today was on the sufficiency
of the notice.

Babies VS.. Politics.

There were many knowing head
shakes when a few days since 1t was
learned that National Bank Examiner
Chapman had an assistant in the per-
son of a fine baby girl which was born
to he and Mrs. Chapman at Fargo,
where the mother was staying at the
time. Mr.. Chapman has been in this
city several times of late, but when
approached by reporters always gave
them the glad hand and winning
smile but declined to talk, saying he
was more interested in other matters
than he was in politics. The story
comes from the home Of the parents
at Buford that If the news had been
given out before it came rather old,
the proud father would have been
compelled to buy cigars for the entire
state and few people in Washington.
The little lady has been christened
Pauline Hunt Chapman and is more
interesting to her father even than his
candidacy for the legislature.

Court Declares s75,000,ooo
Bond Issue Is Legal
Bill Dismissed.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Chicago. ILL.,. Sept. 15.-Judge Thos.
G. Windes, in the circuit court, today
decided In favor of the city of Chicago
In the Injunction suit based on the
Mueller law, which provides for the
issuance of $75,000,0OO worth of rail-
way certificates by the city.
The law was declared constitutional
by the court, who also held that subse-
quent ordinances regarding the pur-
chase and operation of street railways,
passed by the city, are in compliance
with the law.
The decision was complete victory
for the city. the court holding against
every point advanced by the complain
ants in their bill which was dismissed
for want of equity.

ROBBED POST0FF|CE
Masked Men Entered P. o. at
Colgate, rs Miles Southwest
of Grand Forks.

Word was received in the city this
afternoon that the postoffice at Colgate
town in Steele county, about rs miles
southwest of Grand Forks was entered
early this morning by masked men,
who tapped the till. but did not sue
coed in getting into the safe. They
secured a quantity of stamped envel-
opes, and some articles of clothing
which were hanging on the wall. The
fact of their taking the clothing lends
color to the belief that the men we're
hoboes. The manner in which the Job
was done also points to this conclu-
sion.

IS It MURDER OR A
SIMPLE CASE Of
ACCIDENT?
James Barnes, Battered Out of
Recognition, Found In Dy-
ing Condition.

This morning about 1880 O'Clock w.
Cosgriff. foreman Of the Great North
ern bridge crews working out of this
city, discovered the form of an uncon-
scious man alongside the main track
near the University west of the city
about mile and half. The man was
conveyed to the Deaconess hospital ON
Great Northern stretcher and later
revived sufficient to state that his name
was James Barnes
Dr. Campbell was called and made
an examination which disclosed that
the mans jaw-bone was broken, and
one side of his head battered in. The
question that is troubling the police
and the Great Northern authorities is
as to whether or not it is a case of
murder or simply an accident.
When found the man was half sitting,
half lying OH his hands and knees and
the body looked as If it had lain in
that posture for several hours. The
victim smelt strongly of whiskey and
it is quite possible that the man was
intoxicated and while taking the tie
trail out of the city was run down by
No l or No. 10. which pass over that
route during the night. Hardly any
thing of value was found on Barnes
person and the theory has been adj
vanced that he was attacked by COM
panions or others. robbed and left for
dead.
The victim at press hour was lying
in stupor and efforts of the attending
physicians to rouse him proved futile.
But small hopes are entertained for
his recovery although he still has
fighting chance.

Stopping the Advertising.

The rain yesterday served as peace
maker in one instance at least. One
of the progressive firms of the city at
the opening of the school term used
the sidewalks in the proximity of the
school buildings to advertise its school
supplies. Thereupon the school board
got busy and insisted that the same be
erased. and invoked the city ordin-
ance in its behalf. The fatal question
was to be tested when the rain de-
scended and the offending advertise
ments were obliterated, and the dove
of peace once more settled down on
her roost to await some new disturb
ance.

Bacon's Insurance.

While the adjustments have not all
been made in the Bacon fire, there is
no question but that the full value of
the insurance will be paid except in
the case of some betting in which the
invoice disclosed smaller quantity
destroyed than was insured, the 9TH
er being in use and not in the build
ings at the time of the fire. There is
a margin of something like $4,000
between the loss and the amount of
insurance so that there is no danger
of the companies paying more than
the actual loss.
