Travelling Men Quit.

A travelling man who reached this
city yesterday after having been
twenty-six hours from Rugby. a dist

before he ventured out again. 1t is
said that merchants throughout the
state are doing only small business

the country to get to the cities and

BOYS VS.. WATERMELONS.
Luscious Fruit Proved Too Great q
Temptation for Youngsters.

Who is the man that has not at
some time in his lifetime assisted in
raid on watermelon patch? Few
would care to affirm on oath innocence
Of the charge. Not so many would be-
lieve those who affirmed innocence.
Yesterday afternoon carload of
handsome. large and apparently lus-
cious watermelons stood in the Great
Northern yards. A party of small
boys passed that way and the sight of
so many melons made their mouths
water" They couldn't help it, Those
melons We're irresistible. A water
melon party was formed right there as
if by instinct. There is excellent rea-
son to believe it was by instinct. For
generations back fathers-when they
were boys-have visited watermelon
patches. they have stolen the luscious
fruit, they have heard the old shot
gun. they have run as for dear life,
with the precious watermelon under
their arms. Those small boys yester-
day afternoon managed to get hold of
several watermelons and they had to
run. A big policeman heard of the
theft and made a vigorous search for
the boys. He caught sight of some of
them and the bows made wild and
effectual scramble to get away with
the melons and it is said they succeed
ed.
In some watermelon localities dur
ing the ripening season it is CUSTOM
airy to place Waterman with shot
gun in the middle of the patch and
he resides there in tent, day and
night. Colored people are credited
with an abnormal appetite for water
melons, but there are others.

AFTERNOON FIRE.
BURNS LARGE
BARN
Westacott & Nelson and Mer.
chants Transfer Co. Lose
Heavily in Today's Blaze.

A fire of unknown origin completely
destroyed the building on South Fourth
street occupied by Westacott & Nell
son and the Merchants Transfer COM
pany, late this afternoon, entailing
property loss estimated at between S.
600 and $4,000. All horses, vehicles,
harnesses, Office fixtures, etc., were
gotten out of the building.
The fire had its origin in the hay
loft of the south wing and was first
seen by pedestrian who at once
notified employees, who in turn, sent
in an alarm to the fire department.
When first seen the flames were UNI
der rapid Roadway and it was appar-
ent that the fire department would be
unable to save the structure, princi-
pally because of the intiammable char
acter of its contents. There were in
the loft about forty tons of hay and
a large quantity of feed, all of which
was destroyed. F.. A. Parsons, mana
ger of the Merchants Transfer COM
pany, which occupied the north wing
OF the building, stated to an Evening
Times reporter that his company's loss
would be comparatively light, all their
carriages, horses and harness, etc.,
having been removed. They lost fif-
teen tons of hay and quantity of
Nv Do
the state fair grounds when the fire
started but lost no time in getting to
the scene.
The burned structure, it is reported,
was the property Of Westacott & Nell
son, formerly Westacott & Rafter.
This concern will bear the brunt of
the loss.
During the progress of the fire it
was rumored that one or two who
were assisting in the rescue of horses
and carriages had been overcome by
smoke and we're in the barn. There
was an immediate rush for the pur-
pose of forming rescue, but the dis
covery of the parties who were sup
posedly perishing put an end to this
story.
Whether the fire was of incendiary
origin or not no one seems able to
tell. The proprietors of the concerns
occupying the barn were all absent at
the time and it was impossible to find
anyone in possession of information
or that even possessed a theory.
An enormous crowd gathered and
watched the progress of the fire. Sew
eral times nearby buildings caught,
but the ever ready firemen were sue
cessful in preventing additional losses.
1t is understood there is insurance
to cover about half the loss.
Caleb Sheppard was in the barn five
minutes before the call of "fire," and
noticed no sign of smoke. The de-
struction was very rapid and the
building was Quilted within twenty
minutes from the time of the turning
in Of the first alarm.
The barn has capacity of about
fifty or sixty horses, but quick work
on the part of employees and others
who appeared on the scene first. it is
believed, saved all the animals, though
several rushed back into the structure
and were driven out more than once.
A number of cutters and other win
ter material stored in the loft were
destroyed.

OVER A NICKEL,

Because of disagreement as to
what sack of flour ought to cost, two
south side Hebrews. Frankel and Cob
bin by name, are in hot water and in
cidentally in the police courts.
Frankel had Goblin arrested a few
days ago for assault and battery and
the latter paid fine Of $40 and costs
in Judge Purcell's court. Yesterday
Goblin retaliated by having Frankel
arrested for the use Of obscene and
abusive language in the presence of
a lady, and the case came ON before
Judge Mclaughlin. Frankel, however.
took change of venue to Judge Pur-
cells court and the case will come ON
for trial before that Official tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.
1t seems that Frankel sold q sack
of flour costing $2.45 to Cobbiin. The
latter would only pay $240 for the
-four and following the refusal to
liquidate, trouble ensued, with the
above result.

err eye open. Mr.. Maybury has con-
ferred with Judge Watts and the court
has signified its intention of calling
a special grand jury if it is necessary
to take such step to stop gambling,
and If one is called it will not be dis
charged, but held open to investigate
any cases that may develop between
this time and the fall term of court.
"The court has also signified its in
tention of imposing jail sentence in
the future where there is a convic-
ton for gambling, and as Mr.. Maybury
states that he will prosecute most
vigorously any cases that come up,
the death knell to gambling in the
west end city has been sounded.

an investigation as to whether or not
a sufficiently substantial foundation
can be secured to hold brick struc-

the swampy condition of the land upon
which they will build will allow the
settling and consequent breaking of

OF REPORTERS
Incidents in Connection With
the Publication of a Daily
Paper.

There are times in the history of
newspaper work when the gatherers
of what goes to make what is termed
the news of the day, when the man is
not equal to the demands upon his
time. He must be in so many places
at once, and he must be careful not
TO lose sight OF any of the items Of
local Importance which he is called
upon to cover" that his genius is
frequently taxed to the utmost in his
efforts to please everybody.
When space will satisfy the cravings
OF those who are looking for write
ups and there is no great pressure
upon him, and he is given few
hours Roadway, he can nearly always
be trusted to fill it. But a reporter is
only human and there are occasions
when, despite the facility with which
he turns out copy, he is compelled to
dispose of an interesting social event
In a few lines in order to get it in
before the paper goes to press.
Thus reporter for a paper which
is quite frequently read by Grand
Forks citizens was compelled to write
up meeting of the Merchants league,
an inquest, runaway, a christening,
mad-dog scare. a fire, failure, an
engagement, the court proceedings. a
meeting of the Ladies Aid society. and
a few other matters between a. m.
and p. NJ. the hour of closing the
forms, and who at the last moment
was asked to- describe a wedding,
found that the best he could do after
giving the names of the bride and
groom, was this:
Her face was happy,
His was stern:
Her hand was in hiS'u,
Hisn was in her'n."
He might have given the wedding
more space, of course. by holding
back the forms and missing the mails,
or by getting out an extra" but he
felt that he had pictured the happy
affair in manner that really left
nothing to be desired. and that, con-
sidering the lateness of the hour at
which the item reached the office, he
had done all that the contracting
parties and their friends could reason
ably ask.
Grand Forks people are uncommon
ly trained in the matter of retaining
and remembering news for the re-
porters and the writer for one, be-
speaks of naught but excellent treat
ment at their hands.
