ICE IN RIVER.
viii Go Out Earlier This Year Than
for Many Years. -

Crookston, April 3.-The ice in the
Red river promises to so out earlier
this year than for many years, and
from present indications may go out
at any time. Since Friday last the
water has raised five and a. half feet,
and the rise last night was two feet.
The ice is already very rotten and
those who year by year watch the con-
ditions closely predict that there will
be general breakup within the next
few days at the latest, unless the
weather changes radically in the
meantime.
The baseball park is already nearly
covered with water, caused from the
water backing up through the south
fence, but it will take rise of several
feet before the water will start run
ming through the park. Until that
time comes the fence is not in danger
However, the stage of the water will
be watched closely and If there is any
danger of the park being seriously
flooded the fence will be anchored.
Unless rain sets in it is not believ-
ed that the water will raise sufficiently
to food the park. The ice for con-
siderable distance above and below
the dam has gone out No damage
has been done and none is expected
from the high water in this section.

GREAT. AFTERMATH.
/. celebration
LAST NIGHT
crookston Band Aids Mayor
Duis to Celebrate His
Victory.

The more leisurely compiled statis-.
tics Of today do not materially change .
the figures given in the second edition
of The Evening Times last night. The
entire democratic ticket was elected
with the exception of j. r. Church
for police magistrate and T. ]. Hagen
for city treasurer. The victory of
Mayor Duis was sweeping and COM
plete.
Last. evening the Crookston band
arrived on the $40 train from Duluth
over the Great Northern and joined
in the general celebration which was
then fully under way. The band
paraded the streets for two hours or
more and played pieces appropriate
for the occasion. The Crookston band
is one of the best in the northwest and
they gave the people of Grand Forks a
musical treat. Those who were in
mood to appreciate martial and tri-
umphant airs-enjoyed the concert.
n Mayor Duis and his supporters
paraded the streets in carriages and
made speeches. On the arrival of the
band a large crowd proceeded to Mayor
Duis' residence on Reeves avenue and
serenaded the mayor-elect. He re-
sponded In hearty manner, thanking
the people for the honor bestowed up
on him and his workers for the efforts
in his his behalf.
The other leaders of the campaign
were sought out and rendered ova-
tions. A procession was then formed
and various places serenaded on the
way to the Antlers, where the speeches
were made, the eagle squeezed and the
gang roasted
Tracy II. Bangs, John A. SOrly, May
or Duis, M. F. Murphy, Dick Purcell
and others made red-hot speeches
which greatly pleased the crowd which
had gathered.
AS soon as the result became GER
tain, John Dinnie phoned his con-
gratulatiOns to Mayor Duis and prom
tsed his answering support in every
effort to bring about the advancement
of Grand Forks. This was in contrast
to the professions of boys who pa
raded the streets last evening, with
John Dinnie hung in eftegy on a life
sized gibbet which they carried.
The celebration was kept up most of
the night, there being large numbers
who could not do much celebrating
when morning came. Today is sufti-
GENTLY cold and drear to cool anyone's
enthusiasm and there is q decided re-
lapse into the monotonous grind of
everyday life on the part of the citi-
zens of the city.
The returns by wards and as COM
plete as they can be made until the
canvassing board meets, are as fol-
lows:

Of GRAND.
FORKS MUST
HUSTLE
Plenty Of Players in Sight if
Local Association Can Be
Incorporated.

1T is high time the people of Grand
Forks got busy If they want a base
ball team" said M. Stanchfield to The
Evening Times this morning. 1.-The
fans imagine that Kent and will keep
behind the thing and keep it afloat.
but SO far as l am concerned, l will
not take any interest in the matter
unless there Is some provision for
number of Grand Forks business men
to get behind the project and help bear
the burdens. 1t VIII cost at least
$4,000 to run the team above receipts
and the loss for the year will I'M
doubtedly be nearer $4,000 than $4,000.
l have no $1,000 or 81 900 to spend on
baseball. am willing to do my share
toward securing a team here but 1
will not pay for the sport of the city
out of my own pocket. l have no more
interest in securing a team than any,
body else.
II believe it would be very easy to
handle the financial end of the deal
if the people want baseball. My plan
would be to incorporate a Grand Forks
Baseball association with $4,000 CAPT.
tai. This does not mean that the S.
900 would all be paid in at once. The
stock could all be subscribed and an
assessment of 40 per cent made this
spring. If necessary another could be
made this fall to meet expenses.
Il will be one of twenty business
men to take 5000 worth of stock. 1
am sure twenty more could be Sc
cured to take 500 worth. This would
give the $4,000. The 40 per cent as
sessment would be but $50 on the 5000
stock holders and $40 on the 500
share holders. This would not at all
be burdensome and the people of the
city would take the stock If they
really want baseball.
"a new ball park could be secured
near the city. The fence could be
moved and the other fixtures at a
nominal cost and another 81 900 raised
this fall by assessment would go a
long ways toward paying for this
down town park. This would give
better crowds and would be more sat
isfactory all around.
Acting under this arrangement, IL
the new league proves as successful
as some of its hackers claim, the
share holders would get their money
back and 1t would not go to the man
who managed the team, after they have
subscribed the money to meet the de-
ficiencies. l believe the plan a good
one and hope 1t will be put through.
President Price is expected IN me
city tomorrow and he and E. H. Kent
will get exceedingly busy and together
with Mr.. Stanchfield, will doubtless
get the incorporation under way.
Mr.. Stanchfield and w. H. Mcneil
have heard from large number of
players to whom they have written
and find practically all of them signed
but both are confident that there is
plenty of material which can be re-
leased to give the city first class
team.

ELECTION BETS
QUEER
A Number OF Peculiar Wagers Laid on
Mayoralty-Jefi Barton to Haul s.
Kellogg Down DeMcrs Avenue to G.
y. Depot-Other Wagers Made.

Election is a thing of the past, dat
ing Monday at the conclusion of the
vote counting, and the payment of
wagers laid on the municipal campaign
was, and is yet, with some, none too
popular diversion. 4
In this, as in every hotly contested
political affair, there were many peo-
pie who believed both ways and who
were willing to back their convictions
with the coin of the realm. There were
others, again, who made bets in which
money was not involved directly.
For example JEFF Barton must, if he
lives up to the terms OF his agreement,
haul S. Kellogg in wheel-barrow
down DeMers avenue from Third street
to the Great Northern depot Had
John Dinnie been the choice of the
people for mayor, it would have been
up to Mr.. Kellogg to do the wheeling.
Harry Ziskin was the loser in q
rather odd wager, If report is to be be-
lieved, and accordingly he must roll
a peanut around the postoffice square,
using toothpick to pry the she'll
along.
New hats were favorite wagers.
Terry McCosker, the Tipperary scout,
paraded at the Great Northern depot
this morning with u new lid" Then
of course there were many others on
the list.
One First warder bet his neighbor
on the mayoralty and the penalty for
losing was an hours work with ak and
saw on the winners wood pile.
In money bets probably $4,000
changes hands, the wagers being large

So far today there have been no
complaints made to States Attorney
J. B! Wineman relative to illegal vot-
ing at the municipal election yester-
day. There are number of pros
pective arrests if the parties con-
cerned will place the evidence and
complaint in the hands of the states

There are prospective prosecutions
In the First and Fourth wards. There
have been no cases of alleged bribery
but of perjury in swearing in votes or
illegal voting on the part of men
whom the states attorney advised had
no vote here. 1t is probable that ar
rests will be made and prosecutions
will follow.
States Attorney ]. B. Wineman said
today: II will prosecute any man in

or what party he belongs to or what
his social or financial standing may

On the contrary these same ice

eddy heard throughout the day In every
section of the city. No longer does

you favor by giving you a piece or
ice for your money, but on the con-
tary many ice men are soliciting for
trade.
These are the conditions now exist
ing in Pensacola since the dissolution
of the Consumers Ice & Fuel Com.
pany. 1t is presumed that the dissO-
luton of the company is the cause OF
the change in the ice man, for it Is
stated that he is now very accommo-
dating and goes from house to house
and has a crestfallen look when told
that no ice is wanted.
Yesterday many delivery companies
were out, and 1t is safe to say that
the city was thoroughly covered, and

Although the delivery service is
now satisfactory the consumers are
talking of the proposed reduction in
the price Of the necessity. and If the
county solicitor carries out his threat
to enter prosecution If the price is
not reduced, things in ice circles will
be decidedly interesting during the
next few weeks. The ice men have
about ten days now in which to make
up their minds about reducing the
price, and if they do not bring the
price down to that given the Jackson
