RIVAL TOWNS BRAVES

Thirty Men Seriously Injured in Con-

Vienna, Dec. 15.-Thirty men were
seriously injured six it is believed
fatally-in battle with cudgles which
was fought between the inhabitants Of
the two villages Bicske and Many, near
Obex-Galla, in Hungary.
Owing to theft the Bicskeites sent
a challenge to fight to the men of Many,
and the entire population of both vii.
lagos turned out to witness the battle.
Two hundred and fifty men joined in
the combat, which was waged across
the railway line. While it was in prog
ress the Vienna express arrived, and
had to be stopped for twenty minutes
until the belligerents could be induced
to clear from the line. Very few Of
the combatants were uninjured when
truce was declared.

Causes Of Fuel Crisis.

AS to the cause leading up to the
present crisis there are many different
stories. Tho all northwestern. points
are not in the same condition, it is
positively stated that even points well
supplied at present may feel the pres
the situation is nothing short of a gen
eral northwestern fuel famine.
The best news yesterday was the or
der from the Great Northern railroad,
issued yesterday over the signature of
w. w. Broughton to D. g. Black, gen
eral freight agent at Minneapolis, as
follows: .,.
the northwest, advise. all concerned Of
the following instructions, effective at
once: Stop receipt of perishable freight
from points east of Grand Forks to
points west thereof; also from all
points west Of Williston to points east
thereof; also all carload freight except
fuel from points east of Grand Forks
to points west thereof. These instruc
tons will be. recalled at the earliest
i possible date
University May Close.
Fuel shippers, including the fuel com
panies and the elevator and lumber
companies operating yards thru this
territory, hape that under the terms of
this order considerable shipments Of
fuel may be rushed into the North Da-
kota country and that the situation
there may be somewhat relieved. I'm
less it is done, the University of North
A Dakota at Grand Forks, now practically
out Of coal, will be obliged to close it's
doors, and other institutions, and bust
ness generally, will be at a standstill.
1t is hoped that other western roads
will put similar order into effect for
q time, so that only fuel in full cars
will be taken into The afflicted region.
1t has been stated that severe cold
weather would relieve the situation by
stopping the movement of ore and
grain to the lake ports, thereby reliev-
ing the congestion at those points and
diverting shipments so that more SER
vice could be obtained from each unit.
In the meantime the roads have been
laying blame on the fuel-handling in
terests for not carrying stocks. This
charge is answered by a counter-charge
to the effect that the railroads them
selves are short and that the situation
will be complicated because the roads
will need both fuel and cars to carry
coal for themselves to their western
divisions, which are now practically
without coal

Every hour Of respite now from
severe cold in the northwest means
a human life in the face Of the fuel
shortage that menaces thousands of
settlers. Sudden drop in temperature
at the points where fuel supplies are
entirely or nearly exhausted would en-
tail great suffering. Every hour that
the cold holds off there is still hope
that people may husband the meager
supply until help arrives.
Fortunately, the weather forecast
for today and tomorrow indicates con-
tinued mild weather. The two days of
fairly cold weather just passed have
shown how critical the situation really
is and what may be expected if severe
cold sets in before help can arrive.
Severe cold will not only mean suffer
ing, but it will cut off the chance Of
relief. It will mean loss of efficiency
in motive power and a consequent fall
ing, off in hauling capacity. Smaller
loads only can be moved. Then, too,

and snowbound lines that will mean
still greater suffering and still greater
delay before relief can arrive.
