ARSON ATTEMPTED
At SHEPPARD
HOME
Unknown Person Believed to
Have Tried to Burn Resi-.
dence on Walnut St.
MRS. r. SHEPPARD OF 311
Woodshed Charred and Oil
Soaked Broom Found
In Cellar.
MRS. r.. SHEPPARD OF 81

That someone with dastardly in
tent tried to set fire to and destroy
the residence occupied by Mrs. r.
Sheppard, 81 Walnut street, Friday
morning early, there seems little
doubt, at least not when the evidence
at hand is given due consideration.
About $3.50, when the people of the
house arose to prepare the morning
meal, it was discovered, upon enter
ing the shed in the rear that big
hole had been burned in the side.
Later, upon going down cellar, an
oil-soaked, partially burned broom
was found. This had apparently been
used to start the fire in the shed, but
why the scheme failed, and how the
broom came to be in the cellar, are
mysteries that not even those of the
Sheppard family have been able to
solve.
Mrs. Sheppard. who keeps a FASH
ionable boarding house for young men
and women at the number indicated,
knows of no one who would attempt
such crime, and is not able to re-
call that she possesses enemies.

WHO a. BOUGHT THE GOOD BOOZE?
Judge Mclaughlin Trying to Deter.
mine Who Violated the Law at
Niagara.

Yesterday Sheriff Turner and Depu-
ty OVERLY went to Niagara, armed with
warrants for the arrest of number
OF parties charged with conducting
blind pigs. They arrested Andrew
Townsend. George Taylor and John
Hust and brought them to this city,
where they have remained in the Gus
tody of the officers until the time set
for the hearing of their cases before
Justice Mclaughlin this afternoon.
The officers also had injunctions to be
served on some of the places which
were supposed to be the home of the
illegal traffic. Townsend claims that
he never saw the man who swore that
he had purchased liquor in his place.
and that he has no place of business,
sleeping in room in building which
he owns and taking his meals at a
restaurant. An injunction was issued
against his place, but the officers could
find nothing upon which to serve it.
The other injunction was issued
against the hotel owned by a man
named Phillips. Hust waived a pre-
liminary examination on the charge
OF keeping gambling joint and stated
that he desired to plead guilty to the
charge before the district court. At
the time of going to press the hearing
OF the men on the charge of selling
intoxicating liquors is being heard by
Justice Mclaughlin, and the dis
closures at the trial will be necessary
to determine the actual truth of the
mates.

GAVE THE CoMv0CAT|oM ADDRESS
Con'Ocatfon Address by Prof. NJ. A.
Brann0n ut the University
Well Attended.

The address this morning at convO-
cation was made by Prof. NJ. A. Bran
non of the university faculty, his
theme being citizenship" The entire
address centered around the idea that
citizenship is the choicest product of
the most complex process known to
the human mind-the process is edu-
cation" Around this the speaker
grouped the ideas of citizenship as it
is understood in the different nations
which are so widely divergent in the
freedom for which mankind is so
earnestly seeking. In Russia, citizen
ship means serfdom. In Japan it
means the subordination of the in
dividual for the state. In Norway it
means freedom. We do not know what
it will mean in Cuba. But under all
circumstances it should be the pole
star of every nations night and should
guide unerringly to the ultimate per-
lection Of human liberty and happi-
ness He urged the students to weigh
and consider the principles of citizen
ship and the matters which influence
men for the public good andato take
nothing for granted until it had been
proven. He urged the Importance of
adhering to simple ideals, and to let
intelligence rather than passion rule.
Citizenship should give the individual
equality before the law, and an equal
opportunity for the pursuit of happi-
ness.
The next convocation address will
be delivered by Rev. Father Drum
mond of st. Boniface church of Win
niner

Through This Morning.

Perry Werden at one time the idol

yesterday enroute to Inkster, n D..
where he will he the guest of w. A.
Scouton for some time and will do
considerable duck and geese hunting
before returning. He also has prop
erty interests near Inkster which de-
mand his attention at this time.
Werden spent last summer umpir-
ing in the American association and
was very successful. He won a repu-
tation for square dealing and cleal
decisions which will insure him n
berth in the umpiring department of
that league as long as he wishes to
hold it down. 1t will be remembered
that Werden played in the Northern
league for short time one summer
He was the playing manager of the
Fargo team and he stated that the
trouble with most of the Northern
league teams was the fact that there
have their opinions as to the player.

stated that If he had had the team.

WILL PRICE OF LUMBER Be RAISED?

Lumber due several months ago.
Where is it? This is the question
that is bothering local lumber dealers
just now. They say that shipments
ordered several months ago are still
on the road, that is portions of the
orders. Another cause of discomfort
is that notice has been given of a
contemplated rise in the price of lum-
Der in the west and consequently
rise in the product here.
1t is learned that the loggers anu
millmen of the sound are predicting
log famine this winter, which WI
mean a sharp advance In the price of
logs as we'll as lumber. It was only
IA few years ago that Pacific coast
lumber netted only about S. a thou
sand against the average price now
of SIS.
Another cause of delay in lumber
and other shipments" said a dealer
today, lis the fact that the two trans.
continental roads have too much bust
ness for their single tracks. Allow
ing 400 spur tracks for each road be-
tween st. Paul and Seattle. each track
holding two cars all loaded with
something or other, 1t is no wonder
the roads. with all their improved ia
cilities for handling immense trains,
cannot begin to take care of the bust
ness"

MESSENGER HAD NARROW ESCAPE
After Being Badly Burned and Inlaline
Smoke. Man Is Saved.

An express messenger employed by
the Northern Pacific railway company
and we'll known in Grand Forks. was
imprisoned in a burning car near Lit
tie Falls yesterday and narrowly es-
capped with his life When about Il
mile south OF the city Wilson was
alone in the car with the side door
locked and the end doors blocked
with heavy cases. He discovered Il
blaze in one end OF the car. So rapid
ly did it gain Roadway that it was
impossible for him to eXtinguish it.
The car rapidly filled with smoke ana
the express messenger was fast sue
cumbing to suffocation. He made Il
desperate attempt to break the door
and when on the verge OF prostration
succeeded in pulling the bell cord
He then sunk to the floor in an un-
conscious condition. When the train
stopped. the men rushed to the car
and rescued Wilson. Although in Il
dazed condition when Wilson reached
Little Falls he insisted upon continu-
ing his duties. He was finally per.
suaded to stay over. however. and is
now in the hospital, being treated for
his burns.

WHAT THE RETAIL MARKET OFFERS

fornia olive, Is cents can; Jonathan
apples. $1.0O per bu.; smoked salmon,
so cents per h.; Swiss cheese per lb.,
rs cents, etc., etc., just about expresses
the condition of the market. Ter
ribly uninteresting and if it were not
for the market man who as
accent that would delight Henry
James, and tendency to omit an oc-
casional "h," there wouldn't be a bit
of fun looking at the same old garden,
truck, the uninteresting baskets of
fruits. the bushels of silly potatoes for
which there is never ending demand.
But the market man is the joy and
redeeming feature. To hear him say
'alibut makes one intensely long for
just that sort of fish dished up all
cooked nice, with bits of greenness
scattered about and slices of lemon ad-
ding to its attractiveness.

CITY Of [AR|M0RE IS VISITED
BY ANOTHER CONFEDERATION

shop. also by Frank Lovelace, barber,
and by l.. A. Chase, a confectioner.
The building is located on the west
side of Towner avenue, and Just north
of the new Arnold building. II was
completely consumed The flames
spread into the new Arnold building,
and across the alley into the old Pho
neer building, owned by Arnold and
Richter The damage to the new Ar
mold building, brick structure, was
confined to the upper story in the rear,
and amounts to about 81, 800. The loss
on the Pioneer building was about
5000. There was insurance to cover
these latter losses in full.
AS to the origin of the fire, nothing
definite can be learned. A rumor
afioat today stated that it was the re-
suit of fight in the restaurant be-
tween men who overturned IL lamp
This could not be confirmed however
The more generally accepted report is
that the fire was caused by the ex-
plosion of lamp in a hallway in
the restaurant.
At various times during the pro-
gress of the fire there was imminent
danger of a general contlagration in
volving the entire city. Fires were
started from blazing brands, carried
by the wind, in the Stoltz Lumber Co.'S
yards, in the Johnson house. in
Franks Place, in Jachlin's boarding
house and in the Great Northern Sec
ton house. Citizen brigades hurried
to the rescue and were able to control
these widely scattered fires. The fire
department worked nobly and is en-
titled to no small credit.

GRAND FORKS WILL
USE CRE0S0TE
PAVING
Joint Committee of CONNER
cial Club and City Council
So Decides.
NO FORMAL REPORT YET
Creosote Blocks Stand Wear
and Tear Better Than
Asphalt.
NO FORMAL REPORT YET

The joint committee of the Com
mercial club and the city council
which has been considering the mat
ter of paving for the city has prac-
tically decided upon what it will
recommend to the two bodies, though
of course no formal report has been
prepared. The committee has gone
into the matter quite extensively
and has gathered fund of informa-
ton which will be of great value to
the city when it undertakes the work
next season. The committee wisely
decided to look more to permanency
than cheapness. believing that in such
matters the value of the material
used should be measured by its last
ing qualities. The committee con-
sidered the use of asphalt, but the
fact that this city is the great distrib-
uting point for the farm machinery
business of the northwest. and that it
was necessary in the conduct of this
gigantic business to move an i'm
mense number of traction engines
over the streets. it was decided that
the material would not stand the cut
ting of the driving wheels and would
be largely destroyed. The committee
then turned its attention to what il.
known as creOsote blocks and after
a thorough investigation. it is certain
that this is the material which will be
recommended The blocks are about
six inches in length and are beveled
so that they form the arch of the
street and at the same time lie di-
rectly together. The wood is treated
to chemical process which makes its
lasting qualities equal to that of any
other paving material, and Is laid on
a cement base which gives 1t a per-
fectly smooth surface and at the same
time renders it almost noiseless. In
this last particular it stands at the
head of all building materials.
