Attend Special Meeting Tonight to
Consider Athletic Park Scheme.

The business men and citizens in
general who have at heart the success
and pride of3Grand Forks are once

ton of plans WHICH shall give the city
OF Grand Forks and the State Univer-
sity joint park for athletic purposes.
said park to be permanent institu-
ton and to be constructed and laid
out according to the latest and most
improved plans.
A canvas of the business interests
on Monday demonstrated that with
scarce an exception all favored the
project of locating a permanent ath-
letic park in this city. The next
question that follows is-are we all
interested enough to attend tonight's
meeting and help IN arriving at a
solution.
There will be number of speakers
present tonight to address the meet
ing, among them Prof Brannon of the
university, who will show the neces-
sity for an institution of the kind sug-
gested to be owned jointly, or at least
used jointly, by the university, the city
and other institutions or organizations
1t is conceded by everyone that
Grand Forks must have an athletic
park where baseball. football and other
athletic contests can be held, and the
determination has been arrived at that
now is the time to settle the matter
once and for all.

w TO IOWA FOR BURIAL. p,
Remains Of Late Thomas W. Schla.
berg Pass Through City to Iowa.

The remains of the late Thomas w.
Schlaberg, who met such an untimely
death at his home in Sherwood
through taking draught of carbolic
acid by mistake, passed through
Grand Forks Monday evening on their
way to Waverley, Iowa, where inter-
ment is to be made. owing to illness
neither F. w. Schlaberg nor Mrs. d.
M. Holmes, brother and sister of the
deceased, were able to go along, but
his father, Chas. F. Schlaberg, Sr,
Frank Holmes, John Schlaberg and
Mrs. Chas. F. Schlaberg, Jr., will be
present at the funeral which will be
held probably Wednesday morning or
afternoon.
Mr.. schlaberg lived at Sherwood,
where he was engaged in the livery
business In addition to extensive farm
Ing. Charles F, Schfaberg, Jr., anoth-
err brother, is engaged in the meat
business at Sherwood, and ]. ]. Schla-
berg, another brother, is engaged in
farming short distance from Sher-
wood. He hid recently returned from
Minot to the farm, leaving his family

Threatened witt, Pneumonia. lie was
there by himself, and the brothers in
Sherwood decided that one of them
should 90 out to the farm and stay
with him. T. W. Schlaberg went to
the farm Friday. night, himself suffer-
ing from slight cold, which was de-
cidedly annoying because of hacking
cough. He found his brother in bed,
with several bottles of medicine on Il
window sill, in easy reach of the bed.
He placed a bottle of cough medicine
on the sill, and when he awoke at 6
o'clock Saturday morning with
coughing spell, he reached to the win
dow and picked out what he thought
was the cough medicine. Removing
the cork he swallowed a large dose,
and at once called to his brother, ask
ing him what was in the bottle. He
replied that there was bottle of car
bolic acid on the SILL and both men
realized then that the unfortunate
man had drank from the wrong bottle.
The only thing that John Schlaberg
could think of in the house that might
retard the action of the acid was lard,
and he directed his brother to use as
much of that as possible, while he
harnessed horse. This he did in a
hurry and lifting his brother into the
buggy he started on race against
death into Sherwood, where a physi-
clan was hastily summoned From
the time Thomas Schlaberg took the
poison to the time he was under the
care of physician could not have
been more than half an hour, his
brother thinks, but his death occurred
shortly after their arrival in the office.

RUMOR FROM
FARGO.
Says Great Northern Will Extend
Trains Nos. II and 1s to Grand
Forks Thus Giving Increased Pas.
senger Facilities.

A rumor waited northward from
Fargo today says that beginning next
week the Fargo-St. Paul local trains,
Nos. IL and IL, will have their runs
extended to this city.
AT the present time No. II leaves
st. Paul at $3.50 a., m. and arrives at
Fargo at 5:45 p. M, but under the
proposed new schedule, may arrive an
hour earlier and continue through TO
this city. Returning, No. IL would
leave here to reach Fargo in time to
connect with the. Aneta-Fargo train.
Such a service as outlined would
give a north and south bound local
train between Grand Forks and Fargo
every day similar, TO- that which ex-
listed several months ago. The report
says the new card will go into effect
next Sunday, but Agent Sinclair, when
seen by The Evening Times today,
stated no confirmation had been res
ceived by his office as yet. He adj
mitted hearing the above runor, how
ever, and stated that he would not be
at all surprised If the new service was
promulgated. If it is the travelling
public will be a great gamer thereby.

tons from all parts Of the land in
favor of the bill.

tions from all parts Of the land in
favor Of the bill.
The most encouraging feature Of
the situation. is the attitude Of the
wood alcohol people. who have been
the chief opponents Of the legislation.
These people have quit arguing against
the passage of the bill, and are now
saying that 1t ought not, in justice
to them, to go into effect until twelve
months after its passage. The pend
ing bill says three months, which tho
wood alcohol people say is not long
, enough for them to adapt themselves
to the changes which the new law will
make.
1t is just possible that the senate,
provided the bill is to pass there this
session, will amend it SO as to meet
the wishes of the wood alcohol peo-
pie, and If it does, the house will ac-
cept the amendment.
The friends of this legislation have,
some of them, been working for it for
forty years or longer, and they feel
that they can afford to wait another
year, provided that, by thus waiting
they can secure the passage of the bill
at this time.
Representative Marshall of North
Dakota, who has been more actively
at work for the bill than any other
western member of the house, says
that the outlook is very bright. He
says that not to exceed per cent. of
the total house membership is opposed
to the bill.

MEETING
Governor E. Y. Sarles Will Meet With
University Board Of Trustees In This
City Tomorrow Morning Carnegie
4. Offer to Be Considered.

An important meeting of the uni
versity board of trustees has been
called for tomorrow morning. In adj
dition to the members of the board
Gov. E. Y. Sarles has been asked and
has promised to be in attendance.
The meeting will be held at the

dent Merrifield and among the matters
to come up for discussion will be the

ing this summer.
The matter of the acceptance of
Andrew Carnegie's offer of $4,000 for
library, providing fund for it's
maintenance shall be raised here, will
also be considered.
Another matter that may be taken
up, depending very largely, however,
upon what action may be taken at the
special meeting of the Commercial
club tonight, is that of an athletic
park for use in holding the various
athletic meets in which representa-
tives of ~the state university may en-

H|ILDA NYSTAD
WINS
Famous Edmore Land Contest Be.
tween a Grand Forks Girl and
Ramsey County Preacher Results in
a Final Victory for Girl.

The celebrated Ramsey county
homestead contest entitled Nystad VS..
Davies, which. in It's different phases
has at one time or another engaged
the attention of the, federal land Off
Gals from registers and receivers to
the general commissioner and secre-
tary of the interior, has been settled,
according to- word received in Grand
Forks Monday evening. The contest
ant is returned victor.
About seven years ago a minister
/. named Rev. e. Davies filed upon a val
liable homestead near Edmore. Ram
sey acounty: Two oyears later Hilda
Nystad; young girl in the employ
of the late WI. Anderson of this city.
filed a contest against the land, al
leging that the contestee had failed
to live up to the requirements of the
homestead law. IS
In the original SUIT the contestant
was represented by w. ]. Anderson
and the contestee by ]. B. Mineman
!, of this city. The action was appealed
from decision of the Grand Forks
{land Office to the commissioner of the
general land Office, the contestant
meeting with CONTINUOUS reverses
Finally q new contest was begun, and
this, as was Its predecessor, was ap-
pealed from the land office to the
higher powers.
Subsequently in the belief that her
cause was lost one. the CONTESTANT.
Miss Nystad, filed on a claim in Min
nesota, thus making, use of her home
stead right. Then came a decision
from Washington declaring her win
ner in her contest against Rev. Davies.
This caused new complication Hav-
ing used her homestead right in Minne-
sofa, Miss Nystad was unable to file
on the Davies claim. Mr.. Anderson
took up the girls case and petitioned
the land Office officials for permission
to abandon and give up her rights
In Minnesota and transfer them to the
claim which she contested at Edmore.
Mondays decision from the score
tary of the interior gives her the right
80 to do. The claim at Gilmore Is es-
timated to be worth from $4,000 to
$4,000.
During the tendency of this contest
quite an array of legal talent was en-
gagged ON one or another of the differ
emit phases. Among those associated
on one side or the otner were the fol-
lowing:

COMP LIdENTS
OUR CITY

]. D. Carroll Arrive From Fargo and
Spend Day in City-Former Talks
About Grand Forks Future.
: Among the arrivals in Grand Forks
today were James j. Shea of6Wahpe-
ton, United States marshal for North
Dakota with offices at Fargo, and State
Senator John D. Carroll of New Rock
ford. The gentlemen are here for the
purpose of meeting friends and ex-
tending the glad hand"
Marshal Shea was "at home" to a
representative of. The Evening Times
this morning in tn. Hotel Dacotah
lobby.
'This is a fine, progressive city you
have here" said the governments gen
ial criminal chaser by way of opening
the conversation. Grand Forks is
certainly conner. Do you know-it
would not at all surprise me if ten
years would see this city ahead of
Fargo in population. OF course, Fargo
has greater financial interests at the
present time and her wholesale dis
trict is larger, but she has not the
prospects for rapid growth that Grand
Forks appears to have. do not say
this by way of discriminating against
Fargo, or as matter of prejudice, but
simply as an unbiased opinion.
The fact that the 500 is soon to
build into this city, for it seems to be
without question, and it was not long
since that the Soo's Industrial agent,
Cy Campbell, told me as much himself,
ought to greatly encourage the COM
mercial and real estate interests. The
Soo's new road across the northern
part of the state opens up fine terri
tory and nearly all of it is tributary
to Grand Forks
Mr.. Shea denied that he was here on
official business and stated that he and
Senator Carroll expected to return to
Fargo tonight. He was willing to dis
cuss local politics but preferred to let
state issues alone. Marshal Shea was
for four years member of the North
Dakota state railway commission and
made very excellent official
