AFRAID OF SNAKES.
Den Of Reptiles at Show Grounds
Breaks Up Happy Home.

A big burly colored man, according
to "Rastus" Stocks, one of the rousta-
bouts at the fair grounds, is respon-
sible for the disruption of his peace
full home. Rastus Is one of the fol-
lowers OF the races and Is employed
by one of the owners of string now
competing at the exposition.
This morning the unhappy darby
was bewailing his sad career when ap-
preached by a representative of the
Evening Times and asked the cause
of his distress. Rastus promptly in
formed him that his wife, until re-

mood when early this morning he

workmen in the stock barns this

engaged in milking the cows. No

to exterminate the escaped reptiles.
Next door neighbors on the Midway

her scanty belongings, she hurried in

GOOD STOCK
Live Stock Editor Talks
About The Fair
Exhibits.

L. H. Storgaard, live stock manager
of the Dakota Farmer, and one of the
leading stock men of the nation, is a
visitor at the fair. To The Evening
Times he stated that the exhibits of
1--we stock at this fair was among the
very best If not the very best he had
so far seen. Asked as to the possibilities
of the development of the blooded
stock business in this state, he said:
1T is only necessary to look at the
cattle, hogs, horses and sheep on ex-
hibition here to answer the question
in the affirmative. Certainly North
Dakota will be fine stock state-in
fact it is that just now. Look at those
magnificent herds of white faces in
the cattle barns and see for yourself
that the finest beef in the world can
be raised right on the farms of this
state. AS for the mixers, there are
two classes on exhibition here which
actually took my breath away, they
were so much beyond my expectations.
Those dual purpose cattle can not be
beaten in the United States. But say,
to describe the good stock at this fair
would be to tell you something about
every animal. There is not an animal
on exhibition here but what the own
er can be proud of. Well, was going
to quit talking to you but I do want to
call your attention to the grade cat
tie that can be seen here. You know |
am in favor of pure breds, but every
man is not so situated that he can go
into that business at once, and there
is nothing left for him to do but to
begin grading. There is strong ar
gument in favor of the success of that
course in the graded herds which are
on exhibition here. They prove that
the work can be successfully done and
without heavy cost"

DEFER ACTION
Eugene Frazier Examined BY
Board of Insanity Com
missioners.
missiOners.

Eugene Frazier is a very agreeable
sort of fellow. At least that is the
opinion one would form after listening
to his testimony before the board of
insanity commissioners this morning
at the courthouse.
He was willing to admit that he
might or might not have been crazy.
apparently did not matter much to
him. He agreed with the examining
board, however, that something must
have been wrong with his head when
he attempted emasculation on Sunday
last, but stated to the board this morn
ing when the inquiry as to his mental
condition was held, that he felt much
better and clearer today.
After listening to the evidence on
the part of two or three witnesses,
the board decided to confine Frazier
few days in the county Jail, pending
developments, and the healing of his
self-infiicted wound.
DR.. Duggan testified that on the
night of his arrival at the county fail
from Larimore, Frazier had no fever
but very rapid pulse, symptoms us
ually noted about people who are on
the verge Of mental arrangement II
Frazier is really insane, the form is a
very mild one and is intermittent. His
disposition, however. will be determ-
ined In few days. If he RECEIVERS he
will be freed, otherwise. he will likely
be committed to the state hospital for
treatment.

UNIVERSITY PARK
IS BEING TORN
down
And Cut Up Into Residence
Lots-No More the Blood
curdling Shouts or Yells.

University Athletic Park will soon
be thing of the past and where for
years gone by in season, it has been
the custom to hear the most blood
curdling yells. and where base hits,
home runs and touch downs have more
than once been inmOrtalized, there
will soon be streets, alleys, houses,
cottages and other buildings from
which will be heard. instead of the
hoarse yell of the enthusiastic 'rooter'
the energetic sQuawk of the collie
stricken babe. or of the lad who stubs
his toe ON a nail.
A crew Of workmen were today en-
gagged in tearing down the fences, the.
grand-stand and bleechers and the
park is to he surveyed and cut up into
residence lots at once and placed on
the market for sale. In fact, a por-
ton of it has already been sold.
Either foot ball fans will have to go
to the University campus this fall to
see their favorite game, or else it will
be necessary to provide another place
for park This is matter that. in
the estimation OF many citizens. should
have been taken up and pushed to
successful issue last spring Dy the
Commercial club. Assuredly this city
must have an athletic park or else lose
her position among the cities of the
state. If the matter is allowed to go
by the board this fall. there will be
delay and trouble in the spring and.
mayhap Grand Forks will suffer more
reversals in the sporting business"
next summer. such as was the case this
season.
Citizens with interest and push, and
the welfare of the city at heart, should
take up the matter of park before
property makes an ascension and land
scars beyond purchase at moderate
