ed with 500 pounds of dynamite divided
into 10 boxes Of so pounds each, and four
barrels of oil was being driven from the
freight house to the store of M. E. Grub
er one Of the dynamite boxes was jolted
off the wagon, falling distance of about
twelve feet to the pavement. The box
had been placed upon one Of the oil bar
rels and was easily jolted off. The force
Of the fall was great enough to break the
box open and to spill the dynamite upon
the pavement. That this accident did not
end in a tragedy and the complete de-
struction Of driver wagon, horses and the
explosion of the remaining 4s0 pounds OF
dynamite Is the wonder Of all. Had the
percentage Of the dynamite been fifty OF
sixty instead of forty, there would have
been an immense hole in the ground
where the wagon once stood. The explo-
sion Of 500 pounds of dynamite would
have shattered every pane of glass with

NEEDS BETTER RESTRAINTS
Large Number of Violent Cases at
State Insane Asylum Necessltates
Better Window Protection.

Superintendent D. S. Moore of the
state insane asylum at Jamestown in
an interview with newspaper repor-
ter last night, stated that he was TAX
ing q short trip from the institution
to look into the matter of procuring
better window restraints, the large
number of violently insane patients
necessitating such step.
"There has been a remarkable in
crease in the number of men admitted
to the asylum during the past two
years." said Mr.. Moore. 1.-THE per-

think the increase in the proportion
Of men is due partially to the fact that
the male population of the state is
increasing through the influx OF set

population.
Perhaps another reason is that it

that there is plenty of room for wo-
men patients. Four or five years ago

AN INVASION OF FOOT PADS
Robbers Working Extensively In
Vicinity Of Drake-Country
Overrun.

Farmers in the neighborhood Of
Drake, Balfour and Rugby are buying
watchdogs and gatling guns and pre-
pairing to defend their homes against
the invasion Of robbers, hold-ups and
sneak thieves that have invaded that
portion of the state.
Saturday morning robbers entered
John Gachne's residence about Is
miles northeast of Balfour and got
away with $3.50 in money Sunday
morning, they stole two or three sets
Of harness from G. J. Nehrenberg s
miles northeast of Balfour. Sunday
night they visited Alfred Alexon's
place 10 miles east of Balfour and
stole a farm wagon which he traced
~ miles toward Rugby. They then
visited Balfour but got nothing so
far as heard from. Tuesday they
called at the barn of Frank Kaufman,
about miles north Of Drake and Sc
cured set of new work harness. Mr..
Kaufman undertook to follow them
but had to abandon the effort as futile.
They began work in Drake Wednesday
evening and entered A. c. Metcalf's
residence where they secured $50

took his trousers with $1,000 therein.
They took note for $50 and another
for $500.

SHARPERs WORK SETTLERS
Men Supposed to be Denbeigh Bank
Robbers Pass Bogus Bills to
Foreign Settlers.

The Russian settlements between
Balgour and Degden has been chosen
as the stamping grounds for couple
of sharpers who went through the
vicinity yesterday morning in an old
buggy. The sharpers would drive up
to a Russian house and call for oats
to feed their horse. They invariably
wanted to buy the oats and rendered
a $40 bill in payment. II the Russian
did not happen to have change for
this denomination SO bill was ten
dered. OF course the bills were bogus
and the Russian was out just that
amount of good cash.
At one place the seller of the oats
noticed the imitation and demanded
his money back. The men refused to
dig up and the Russian proceeded to
take drastic measures with the result
that the money was shelled out ana
the men went on to the next farm
house. They must have secured a
large amount Of money according to
the reports sent in.
It Is supposed in that section Of the
county, that the men are the Denbigh
bank robbers on their way south as
they inquire the way to Velva.

This was decided at a monster
mass meeting Of the students held this
noon at the university. There has
been considerable talk of abandoning
football at the institution on account
of the action of the faculty in barring
right guard Duggan for the reason
that he had taken before at st.
Thomas college. The faculty declared
that Duggan could not play on
varsity team.
The meeting this noon was in the
nature of a gathering for the purpose
of getting trend Of sentiment of the
students as to whether football should
be abandoned this year, or whether
the team should play at Fargo and
finish the season out without the play
er under the ban. Captain Burtness
of the team spoke at the meeting, as
did President Selby of the Athletic
association and manager O'Connor of
the football department. None of the
faculty was present.
The disbarment of the star player
means much to the team just at this

hardly have a chance to develope a

night for the first time this week,

BOY HAD sPIPE DREAM
Russian Settlement Near Perley. N
d. Excited Over an Alleged
Death.

T. A. Dymond of Perley, N. D. is
in the city today and brings news of
the alleged finding of a dead body at
Dodgen which is greatly exciting the
Russian element. Mr.. Dymond states,
that Monday morning the eleven-year-
old son of Marone Deschelevy told his
father that he had found dead man
lying along the highway over a month
ago. His father at once inquired for
particulars, and the lad stated that
first he had seen the man lying on
the ground uttering groans and cries.
The next day he examined him and
found him dead and covered with an
old bed quilt. The case then entered
into many complications, for the boy
says the next time he examined the
spot the man was gone, and later he
found him buried under a pile of dirt.
Parties looked the ground over but
could find no traces of dead man and
the lad is thought to have enjoyed an
empty dream.
The neighbors, however, are greatly
excited, as there is rumor of the
killing of railroad man a few days
ago. Mr.. Dymond thinks the report of
the killing is exaggerated, and that
the killing" was the regular squab-
,bles between Italians employed on
railroad construction work.

RIGHT LEG WAS AMPUTATEO
Marvin Haynes Of Willlston Suffered
Awful Torment-Pinned Under
= Coal Chute.

Marvin Haynes. young man resid-
ing at Williston, was the victim Of an
accident the first of the week which
might easily have proved his death.
As it is Haynes had both legs badly
crushed, every artery on the leg be-
ing severed, necessitating amputation.
Haynes was loading a coal car at
the time of the accident. The ponder
GUS coal chute used in loading and
unloading cars Of coal, in some I'M
accountable manner toppled over, pin
ming Haynes to the ground before he
had time to move. He was ON top of
the coal car and was loading up from
the chute. The basket had just emp
tied its load of coal into the car and
was ascending for another when the
gearing that raises and lowers, gave
way and the huge chute fell, catching
Haynes across the lower parts of the
body.
Haynes is a robust young man 10
years of age and halls from Mable,
MINI. His right leg was completely
crushed to pulp and was amputated
the same day. The left leg was not
injured as badly and did not require
amputation.

agreeably surprised to find nearly a
score of clerks as busy as bees wait
ing on the crowd of customers who
filled the aisles. The proprietor is
one of those pleasant gentlemen 1t is
a pleasure to meet and, while he is a
new man in the city, he has already
made record as merchant in one of
the good towns of the state and is
perfectly at home in his work. He
is anxious to secure a residence and
become fixture in the way of social
life, but he, like many others, find this
no easy task. Such men need to be
encouraged in locating in the city, for
1t is those who build up the commun-
ity. And to this end the needs of resi-
dences, such as business men want
and are willing to pay for, would
prove to be splendid investments for
capitalists. The new store is certain
to succeed because of the business
ability and experience behind it, and
it will become in very short time one
of the substantial business concerns
of the city.

Early last spring Mr.. Babcock came
to Winnipeg bringing his own chemist,
and has spent the season in prospect
ing for, and investigating the various
materials and locations suitable for
this enterprise, within easy distance
of Winnipeg. Great care and ex-
haustive experimentation have been
exercised in the location of the plant
and no pains or expense have been
spared in reaching conclusions. The
manufacture of cement being an in
dustry of many complications and but
little known to the average person, it
is difficult to understand all the con-
tfngencies that must be taken into
consideration in locating a plant of
this kind. Mr.. Babcock is especially
we'll qualified for this work by his
long experience in this particular line
In all its various departments and the
affairs Of the company will be in his

CHANGES IN CLOTHING STYLES
Clothier Talks Interestingly to Even.
ing Times Representative
Form Fitting Coats.

The predominance of the form fit
ting backs is the chief feature of the
clothing style this fall said the cloth
ing clerk to the Evening Times rem
resentative today. The tendency of
the year is to make the coat conform
to all the lines of the body and at the
same time lie freely without any tight
ness. This is easily noticeable in the
line of the coat. In regard to the
length this clothing expert said that
farther east the coat 80 inches in
length was all the rage, but that in
North Dakota and other states dis
tant from the centers of fashion It
was difficult indeed to sell the 81 and
80 inch style. Travelling men and 9TH
ers graced in the new style are the
only ones who buy this class. In COL
or the Oxford gray, which was the pre-
dominating feature in the early part
of the summer, is still being worn
more than any other color Black also
sells we'll.
Besides the form fitting feature an
other novelty that has crept into the
coats recommended by tailors, is the
cuff on the sleeve. This cuff made its
appearance year ago but merely
showed itself and afterward crept back
into its hole. This year, however, the
cuff is used more extensively. In this
section of the country the cuffs are at
tached to the sleeve, being sewed on,
but farther east they are made de-
tachable. with one, two or three but
tons. These kind of cuffs are about
three inches in width and tailored to
lie fiat along the sleeve.

and wing collar will still be in vogue

to be the most popular again. This

MILLER GONE TO CANADA
Man Who Mysteriously disappeared
ut Minot Left for CandO With
Over $1,000.

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Fred B. Miller of Minot
noted several days ago in these COL
umns. thought to have been murdered
or drugged, has been cleared.
1t was discovered by Mr.. Nixon,
with whom Miller was in partnership
that in company with ]. Powell, the
separator man, Miller had boarded a
west bound 500 train for Canada.
From the creditors of the thresh-
Ing crew it was also discovered that
Miller had collected sum amounting
to over $500. Though no records have
been examined as yet, it is thought
that he also disposed of his real es-
tate holdings, SO that the aggregate
sum of money which the two men
must have had when they left amounts
to over $4,000.
