THROAT -S[ASHEO
Foreigner at Detroit Cuts Fear
full Gash-He May
Recover.

A report received here today states
that in an attempt to end his life at
Detroit, MIMI, a foreigner succeeded
yesterday morning in inflicting a ter
rtble wound from ear to ear and for
some time there were grave fears en-
tertained as to his recovery From
the story that is told it appears that
the fellow was the victim of booze.
He had arrived from the old country
about a week ago, landing at New
York, where he proceeded to celebrate
the occurrence of being in the land
of the free by acquiring a most COM
plete jag. He purchased a ticket to
Winnipeg, where he started for, but
was taken with the delirium tremens
enroute and was put of at Detroit
Tuesday morning.
He stayed about the city all day,
the victim of snakes, and yesterday
morning made his way to an alley
where he could not be seen and with
pocket knife made an attempt to
end his life. He succeeded in severing
his windpipe in two, besides gashing
his throat otherwise. He was taken
in charge by the county authorities
and received treatment. Late yester-
day there were hopes retained by the
attending physician that the man
would pull through, although the case
is q very grave one.

new LINES AND NEW
DEPOTS NOW
BUILDING
Great Northern improvements
st. John Branch to be q
Trunk Line.

The Great Northern is making some
wonderful improvements in its road
and other property in this state which
will add materially to its usefulness
and importance as a grain carrier.
The new lines which have been built
are almost without exception through
rich territory, and the roads have been
we'll constructed. This is especially
true of the extension from Munich to
Sarles which was built quite recently
and which has all the appearance of
being an old roadbed.
Just what the extension of the st.
John branch from that point to Bran
don across the line means cannot be
figured out at this time. However, the
grading is done for the entire distance
of seventy miles and the steel is laid
for thirty-five miles out of st. John.
This will make a connection with the
Canadian Pacific and actually convert
the branch from Churches Ferry into
a trunk line. 1t would seem that the
object of this road is to reach the
wheat fields of western Canada, and
by transporting the wheat in bond, to
become the great trunk carrier of the
product to the head of the lakes. Ger
tain it is that the line will be opened
for traffic this fall and that some
profitable use will be found for 1t.
On the main line, number Of cost
ly and important Improvements are
already completed or in process of
construction. The new depot at Minot
is not only decidedly beautiful but we'll
arranged for the handling of the COM
pany's business and the accOmmoda-
Of tho fhino
lacking is some convenient way of
reaching the city from the railroad.
The new depot at Granville was, of
burned, but the advantage of the new
over the old one is such as to indicate
that the company means to make this
one of the important points on the line.
The new depot at Rugby for which
nature of an improvement, as the old
one was fully as good as many of those
at other places. But it was not in
city as a railroad town and was re-
moved to make room for larger and
better accommodations.
The Devils Lake improvements are
away beyond the expectations even of
Tie llOSI OpllLIStlC ualNC. Auc I'LL
mense round hose and shops will make
this prominent railroad center. and
as it is the connecting point of the
extension building from Aneta, will be
one of the important passenger and
freight traffic stations on the main line.
The new depot, which is just under
construction. will be marvel of
beauty and convenience.
The plan of securing good water for
the use of the engines has made an
elaborate system Of reservoirs neces-
sary. Within the last few months i'm
mense reservoirs, almost equal in size
to small lakes. have been constructed
at Michigan City. Churches Ferry and
Granville on the main line and a num-
Der on the lines south of this one.
In addition to this water supply. which
is fed by surface coulies, a pipe line
is being built from Devils Lake to
Sweetwater lake, a distance of some
thing like nine miles. and the waters
of this body of fresh water will be
used for railroad purposes at the
shops and in the engines at that point.

THE new, ONTARIO
A DEMOCRATIC
STORE
Formal Opening on 25th Ami
versary Of Mr.. Grifith's
Business Career Here.

The sale at the Ontario store which
is advertised for next Saturday is the
first of the series intended to reduce
the stock of this enormous concern
which now occupies a number of diff
ferent locations, preparatory to NOV
Ing into the magnificent new building
which will soon be ready for occu-
pancy. The exterior of the building
is practically completed and the in
terror is being rushed just as fast as it
Is possible to do, and If there are no
delays in the way of securing material,
the new quarters will be occupied by
September 20, though the formal OPEN
ing will not be held until November 2.
The interior finishings will be of
plate glass and mahogany, and will be
as fine as anything found in the Twin
Cities and far ahead of anything this
side. The arrangements will be as
near perfect as 1t is possible to make
them. Elevators will convey the pur-
chasers to the different floors, and floor
walkers and all the conveniences of
city department store will be at
hand. Mr.. Griffith states that It will
be thoroughly democratic store-for
all the people all the time. It will
not only be store we'll arranged so
far as the convenience of the Gus
toners is concerned. but it will be one
of the most complete in the way of
stock carried to be found in the entire
northwest. including Minneapolis and
st. Paul. And the prices will be ex-
actly right.
The formal opening will be held on
the twenty-fifth anniversary of Mr..
Grifith's business career in this CITY.
He began in a building on DeMers
avenue and from there after a short
time, removed to the corner now mark
ed by the four-story building which
will soon house his immense business.
Here he has developed into a mer-
chant prince and the GROWING work
OF his career is the great department
store which he has provided for this
city. There is probably tinge of
justifiable pleasure to the proprietor,
who after these years of attention and
devotion to duty sees the rewards of
his labors in the form of monument
which will be credit to him and to
the city in which his business career
has been largely made.

YEGGEMEN FAIL. TO
SECURE BANKS !.
FUNDS
Hatcher Bros. Chief Losers In
Attempted Looting of Saw
yer Bank.

Hatcher Bros. Corporation received
a telegram last evening from Sawyer,
N. D.. notifying them that an attempt
had been made yesterday morning
early by gang of "yeggemen" to rob
the vault OF the Sawyer State bank,
! wrecking the interior of the building,
including the banks vaults, but Sc
curing no money, because of the early
appearance on the scene of armed citi-
zens who engaged the burglars in a
fight, compelling them to act on the
defensive and leave the money draw
ers untouched.
Hatcher Bros. have the insurance
on the bank fixtures, and for that rea-
son they received first notification
here, after the police officials.
A message from Sawyer describes
the attempted robbery as follows:
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock rob-
bers attempted to break into the vault
Of the Sawyer bank, but before they
could get the money several of the
citizens, awakened by the explosion,
that blew of the outer door of the safe,
came in time to brighten the burglars
away.
There were four men in the gang,
and they had Just fired the first ex-'
plosion, which tore off the large door,
and were just in the act of breaking
opening the door to the cash drawer in
the. safe which contained several thou
sand dollars, when they were driven
away by pistol shots from the ap-
preaching men. The robbers secured
nothing, but in less than ten minutes
they would have had the entire con-
tents of the money drawer. The Off
GERS are hot on the trail of the rob-
bers, but until late tonight no clue had,
been found as to their whereabouts

He PROMOTED FIRST
TERRITORIAL
FAIR
H. L. Norton, Friend of Late
Capt. ariggs, and Big
Rancher. Here

Among arrivals in Grand Forks this
morning was H. l.. Norton. now of
Durand, ILL.,, formerly a resident of
Grand Forks and later of Hamilton,
where he still owns an eight hundred
acre ranch. Mr.. Norton is one of the
old timers of the Red river valley and
was closely associated with, and a
warm personal friend and business as
sociate of the late Captain Alexander
Griggs, who for years operated steam
ers on the Red river. notably the In
ternational and the Selllirk.
Mr.. Norton, speaking of state fairs
and things in general, recounted to a
group of friends at the Great Northern
depot this, morning an interesting
"reminiscences of the first state. or more
properly, the first territorial fair ever
held in the confines of what is now
North Dakota.
1t seems that Captain Griggs and
Mr. Norton decided to promote fair
in the year of 1885. Captain Griggs
believed that Fargo would be the best
place for 1t but Mr.. Norton held out
for Grand Forks, and suggested that
offers from the two cities be received.
This was finally agreed to. and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Norton. Fargo made a
tender of the land and straw that
would be needed. Grand Forks. how
ever, characteristic OF her generous
ness to public institutions, even as is
the case now, went Fargo one better
and offered site. straw and hay and
$4,000 for premiums.
THAT fair, you will remember" said
Mr.. Norton to Don Mcdonald and
Charles Hager of St. Thomas, who
were among his listeners, was great
and unqualified success" Mr.. McDon-
aid recalled that it was.
1t has been fifteen years since Mr..
Norton removed to his old home in
Illinois but he makes annual pilgrim
ages to this state TO look over his
ranching interests. On his way to
Hamilton this morning he was accom-
panied by Charles Hager, who has the
distinction of being the original pro-
prietor of the townsite of st. Thomas,
now one of the most prosperous towns
on the Winnipeg line of the Great
Northern. Mr.. Hager and Editor Grant
s. Hager OF the St. Thomas Times, are
cousins.

SLIPPERY INDIANS
q. s. Marshal Has a Time to
Capture Bootleggers on the
Reservation.

Frank TUFTS. deputy United States
marshal. has captured an Indian by
the name Of Ke-chi-oke-ma. whom he
arrested on the Red Lake reservation
near the Indian agency on the charge
of boot-legging on the Cross Lake
reservation. a district Of the Red Lake
reserve.
He took the Indian to Walker and
will give him hearing before Daniel
DeLury. United States commissioner.
While Mr.. Tufts was on his trip
he made a fuole effort to locate a
brother of the man arrested for boot
Logging, who is wanted on the charge
of being connected with a murder COM
mitted on the Cross Lake reservation
more than year ago.
The red who is wanted has many
friends among the Red Lake Indians
and whenever the government boat
appears near where he lives he is
warned in ample time to make his es-
cape into the dense forest, where it is
utterly impossible to locate him.
The Indian fs always armed with a
rife and revolver and is a desperate
man in an encounter. However, Mr..
Tufts is confident that he will land
his man In the near future.

They tell good story on julius
Walseth. the popular Great Northern
yard conductor, Not long ago Mr..
Walseth determined to try his luck
fishing in the Ruby Red and according
tly. after having supplied himself with
all the necessary impedimenta, he HE'D
himself to spot near Riverside Park.
After fishing for time he had what
he thought was a bite. Then-the
line stuck q few feet from shore and
refused to bulge. Taking of his shoes
and rolling up his pants Mr.. Walseth
waded out, expecting to encounter a
baby whale. To his surprise he found
the line had entered the bung-hole Of q
beer key that lay in five feet Of water.
The key was dragged ashore with
much difficulty and was found to con-
tain five pound catfish. Its release
required the destruction of the key.
The fish had evidently made its home
in the key and eventually grew too
large to pass through the bung-hole.
