TRIED 10 BREAK STRIKE
Agents Secured the County For Men
 to Come to Waterbury.

| H
 William H. Wood of Malone Coun- ty, N. r.. and his agent, w. E. Scott. were in town yesterday and when ac- costed by Democrat reporter late in the afternoon both were in very ugly mood and talked like men who feels that somebody had pulled the wool over their eyes. They repre- sented that they had been hired by the Master Builders association of Waterbury to look up bricklayers and send them along here with the understanding that they should get steady work at fifty-flve cents an hour or six dollars a day. The agents were to be paid $5 day and their expenses. As a guarantee of good faith they received S100 down. and left here bound to make good, which they claimed to have done. Wood said that they booked 1S6 men for Waterbury and that he believed they came here, but for some reason none of them remained long enough to say so. They kept at the job. going from one town to another in different states until they had worked twenty days and used up $116 for expenses, making s216 in all, when they thought it time to report to their employers and showed up in Water- bury yesterday and hied to the office of an attorney whom they understood to be named Bronson, who represents the Master Builders association. They claimed to have been accorded very scant reception, the attorney wanting to put them of with game |of talk and $10 bill.
 Wood, who walks with something of a wild west spring. did most of the talking and when he was telling about the offer of the $10 his face was white with rage and every other moment he glared about with his hand on his hip pocket. Bronson" {" he said, bringing his teeth together with snap like that of q steel trap, ..can beat me with his mouth, but wouldn't like to take him around the corner. By the if I could get him there wouldn't discolor his duck pants"
 The agent has chequered history and felt that he had come to Water bury we'll recommended andwas en- titled to better treatment. At present he is residing in Brattleboro, Vt, close to the last resting place of Jim Fisk. he of Wall street fame, and has been an intimate friend and co-work- CT of Jim Farley, the strike-breaker, for the past thirty-five years. Both men were mad clear through and un- lass they changed their minds they will not leave town without taking steps to give their alleged employers run for their money in the courts.

 Mir Finn-"Does Mir McMahon know that the former board of public works intended that this street should be closed to have the railroad work go ahead?"
 Mir cMahon--''I don't know what the former board intended, but I dc know that they made no move to- ward jeopardizing my rights or the rights of anybody else by closing that street. The present board did that
 Mir Finn-"All I care to say fin answer to that is that If a wrong was done was wholly ignorant of it. atced on the judgmentof the eengineer, man who is honest and competen and who would not allow corpora tion to do anything that would be against the interests of any citizen, subject to no influence that could deter me from doing my duty as see it."
 Mir McMahon-''l presume you are not aware of it. but you will find it out some day. I believe you mean to be honest. but still submit that you are under an evil influence. To sum up all I want Is fair treatment. the right to be heard before the lower waterville road is closed and this Is something which I have not received from this board"
 Mir Nell was growing impatient and told Mr McMahon that he was taking up valuable time. NIT McMa- hon said he knew it. but contended that he had a great deal at stake and that he felt in duty bound to do all in his power to protect himself.
 Mir Nell remarked rather erufiy that he didn't see but the board had done all right by him

THE LAW SAYS
IMPOSSIBLE
School Books Can Not be Audited for
Reason That Expense Of Same is Not
Provided Opinion Of Attorney
General Settles Matter of Authority.

Some time since the matter of audit
ing the school board books was agi-
tated in this city. A mass meeting
was called for the purpose of securing
the opinion of the tax payers on the
matter, but the meeting was not at
tended by half dozen of those who
had been most clamOrous for the ex-
penditure. The board investigated its
authority for mourning the cost and
was unable to find any law which
would SO authorize it. The law did
provide for reference of any doubt
full matter to the state superintendent,
who should secure an opinion from the
attorney general. d The board very
wisely took this course. The opinion
of the latter is given in full below.
1t is addressed to the state snperinten-
dent and specifically answers the
question 1t reads as follows:

ty, Minnesota, hereby requests that you

SCHOOL ATHLETES
V|E|NG FOR
H0N0RS
Interscholastic Field Meet on
at University Park This
Afternoon.

This afternoon beginning at 2
o'clock at University Park, is being
held the big interscholastic field meet
contest between athletes of the various
public school buildings of Grand Forks
and East Grand Forks. The entries,
which number nearly half hundred,
include some of the best juvenile ath-
letes in the dual cities.
The schools that are in competition
are the Central, Wilder, Belmont, Win
ship and East Grand Forks. The list
of officials and entries have already
been made public.
The meet, as has heretofore been
noted, is held under the auspices of
the boys department of the Young
Mems Christian association, and the
honor for which the various schools
are vieing is the possession of beau
nful trophy cup, known as the pal
mer PRICE" and presented by A. f.
Palmer, the well-known Third street
jeweler. The rules of the contest are
so framed that in order for a school to
come into absolute possession of the
trophy, that school must have won in
the meet three consecutive times.
This rule makes necessary the holding
OF a field meet every year. The proba-
otiAss VI lhC I'll lIl6 prize
being permanent vested within three
years is unlikely, with so many
schools and different athletes contend

PENDANTS in the present action insti-
tuted suit against John Turney and
Alex T. Turney for the recovery of
S251.S0, alleged to be owing the firm.
A warrant of attachment was served
and two black horses, a wagon and

COLLAPSE OF
TRAMWAY
LabOrers ut Work Tearing Down I'm.
burned Portion Of Tramway Lead

ESCAPE From Death.

What came very nearly being fatal
accident occurred yesterday evening
between and o'clock in the Great
Northern railroad yards, when a sec
ton OF raised track, 100 feet in length,
from twenty-five to thirty feet above
ground, leading to the coal shute
which was recently destroyed by fire,
fell to the ground, carrying with it
several workmen.
A crew of men had been at work for
the past two or three days tearing
down the tramway and a weakening
of the supports is presumed to have
been responsible for the accident.
One man had his back and shoulder
wrenched and another jumped fifteen
feet to escape being buried in the
wreckage. That some of the men
were not killed in a thirty-foot drop
was indeed extraordinary.
1t is the intention of the company to
entirely clear away the present site
of the coal sheds and the ground will
ultimately be used for the network of
tracks which will run to the site Of
the new freight depot. Work on that
structure is progressing rapidly and
the cement foundations are being rap
idly laid. r3
