BUILDING IS
GROWING
Seventy.TwO Residences In Process of
Construction in the City Besides
Those Being Remodeled and Moved
Many More in Prospect

The building boom is on in this city
in earnest. Last Saturday Conductor
McGraw of the Great Northern road,
spent the afternoon in driving over the
city. He was not on the lookout for
new buildings, but merely counted
those which he saw while driving in
the city. To The Times he stated that
ne had counted seventy-two new resi-
dences in process of construction.
This does not include the buildings
being remodeled and moved from their
former locations. The latter plan is
now an important item in the city as
nearly all the houses on the property
condemned by the Great Northern rail
road in making the improvements in
its yards. have been sold and are be-
ing removed to the residence portion
of the city where they will be convert
ed into homes. There are many more
residences contemplated, but which
have not as yet been begun, so that the
actual condition of the building in the
city is not now visible.

GRAVES SEEKS
PARDON
Portal Wife Murderer Tires of Jail
Life But His Application to Board
Of Pardons May be Delayed a Year
Crime of Peculiar Interest
pecial to The Evening Times.

Special to The Evening Times.
Minot, N. D., May 14.-William NJ
Graves, former resident of Portal
who is serving five-year sentence in
the state penitentiary for killing his
wife at Portal in January, 1904. will
in all probability have the presenta-
ton of his case to the state pardon
board, delayed about another year.
At the present time Graves has an
application for pardon filed at Bis
marck, but it is understood that his
counsel, Attorney w. N. Crane of this
city, will withdraw the application be-
fore the pardon board meets in June
owing to the circumstances which will
make it almost impossible for Graves
to be liberated this year.
The murder of Mrs. Graves Great
ed considerable excitement in Minot
at the time, and owing to the fact that
the trial of Graves was held in this
city local residents became quite con-
versant with the facts in the case.
Graves was tried and convicted on a
charge of manslaughter. According to
the testimony presented by the defen-
dant at the trial of the case, Graves
wife became very intimate with man
by the name of William Waugh and
a conspiracy between the two result
ed in having Graves committed to an
insane asylum in Canada. Graves was
confined in the asylum but short
time, when he was released.
The unfortunate husband returned
to Portal one cold winters night in
January, 1904, and going to his home
discovered Waugh with his wife in al
compromising position. Waugh fed
Immediately from the house and
Graves, pulling a revolver from his
pocket, shot his wife dead. His trial
was held before Judge Palda. Attor-
ney James John was states attorney
at the time, and the defendant was
ably defended by Attorney w. NJ
Crane, who saved Graves from receiv-
ing the death penalty.

Bloomington, Ill. They moved to
Crookston last year from Fairview,
ILL.,, and purchased the residence on
South Ash formerly owned by Prof.
Riggs. The bereayed parents are pros
trated with grief and fears are enter

One peculiar thing about the acct
dent is that it is not known whether
no was killed at Carman or on the
hill, as it is impossible to tell which
way the body was dragged.
No reason appears why he should
be either at South Crookston or up on
the hill and the whole affair is shroud-
ed in mystery. His watch stopped at
10 O'Clock. The funeral will be held
Monday afternoon at 2:3O.

use of the trains of the latter system.
In the event Of the construction of the
proposed union depot, Northern Paci-
fic trains arriving and departing for
the north will make use of the Great
Northern tracks between the local
depot and the point on North Third
street where the two lines of railway
now cross. 1t is the intention of the
Great Northern anyway, to tear out
the tracks from Schumacher to the city
limits. as soon as the cut off" from
Grand Forks Junction, work on which
is now progressing rapidly, is COM
pleted.
The Northern Pacific would proba-l
bly, benefit most by the union depot
proposition for several reasons, one
of the greatest being that the expense
of maintaining the present grade be-
tween the local depot along the east
side of Third street, where there is a.
heavy fill" to the site of the old Wal
ker saw mill in Riverside Park, would
be done away with. 1t is estimated by
railroad men that this quarter mile
piece of track has cost the Northern,
Pacific in the past fifteen years, in~i

ACCIDENT WAS
FATAL

0. Van Tuyle, Son of Mrs. 8. Bulger
Of This City, Dies as Result Of Acct.
dent on Great Northern West of
Minot.
On Sunday in the city hospital at
Minot occurred the death of Orville
Van Tuyle, son of Mrs S. Bulger of
this city, as a result of an accident
near Ross in which he was run
over by a Great Northern train. The
accident occurred on Saturday, when
Van Tuyle, a student brakeman in the
employ of the railway, in attempting
to board the forward end of caboose
in moving train. slipped and fell, the
wheels passing over the right leg and
crushing the bone below the knee.
The injured man, who is about 20
or % years of age. was picked up and
later taken on board No. 2 and sent
to the city hospital at Minot, where
the crushed limb was amputated. The
shock and loss of blood, however,
proved more than the victims vitality
could withstand, and death occurred,
as stated, on Sunday.
The remains were expected to ar
rive here from Minot Sunday even
ing but will, in all probability, come
tonight instead. In that event the
funeral will be held tomorrow.

more In relies than the mere matter
