Trouble at Bagley and Fosston.

Fosston and Bagley were the scene
of action yesterday when State Pure
Food Inspector Heighberg arrived
with warrants for several of the most
prominent merchants charged with
selling goods which did not comply
with the pure food laws of the state
Fosston was the first place visited and
four of the merchants there were
charged with selling soft drinks pur-
chased outside of the state and con-
tanning coal tar dye and other pois-
Onous ingredients. All but one of the
defendants at Fosston plead guilty
and were fined $25 and costs. One
man had his case continued. There
were three cases at Bagley, two charg-
ed with selling impure drinks and one
with adulterated maple sugar which
was not properly labeled. Two of the
men there plead guilty and paid their
fines. The other had his case con-
tinued that he might communicate
with the house from whom he pur-
chased the goods and get their advice.

This morning L. F. Allen, the I'm
derwood typewriter man of this city,

MANY NEW BUILDINGS.
Contractors at Minot Have Large
Number on Their Books.

C. R. Rust, general manager of the
Stone Ordean-Wells company, returned
yesterday from Minot, N. D., where the
firm recently established an extensive
branch house. "Minot is certainly
live town." said Mr.. Rust to the Even
ing Times. II wired ahead for a
room on Thursday for me on Satur-
day night, and when l arrived at the
hotel that Saturday night found that
l was No. % on the waiting list, and
so more names were behind mine.
Minot Is a town of 5000 people, and
bids fair to become very large place.
1t is division headquarters for two
railroads, and the farming country is
developing rapidly in the surrounding
territory. An idea of how the town
is going to grow the coming summer
may be gained from the fact that one
building contractor has AZ dwellings
to erect, and the average cost Of them
is to be $4,000. Another contractor,
has 80 buildings to put up, and there
are fifteen contractors there alto
gether."

Prospective Buyers Disappointed.

AS an index of the present upward
tendency of real estate in this city,
it is interesting to note that when it
became known that the Kent Realty
& Investment company few days ago
had sold a piece of Third street prop
erty, a dozen business men came for
ward and declared that had they
thought the property would have been
sold they would have taken it them
selves, and several have declared they
would have substantially advanced the
price. This shows the advancing ten
dency of property in the city.

Did Not Like to Be Thirsty,

The boiler of the heating plant in

AS result the family have been wear

while another boiler is travelling by

beast was fully twelve years old, so
he decided to 90 back and tell the
swindler he had lied to him about
the animal. However, owing to it
being the busy season of farming,
he was not able to 90 until about
the middle of June. He finally did
go and told his man what he thought
Of his rascally Misrepresentation
about the mule.
