BOY BROWNS IN RIVER
RAYMOND JOHNSON FALLS FROM
WALL NEAR THE TENTH AVE
NUE. BRIDGE.

Raymond johnson, 9 years old, was
drowned late yesterday afternoon, fall
ing from the stone wall near the street
railway power house on the East side.
The boy lived with his parents at
603 Fourteenth avenue s, and hav-
ing holiday, went across the
Tenth avenue bridge with two of his
little friends. After looking at the
great wheels in the power house the
boys began to play along the water g
edge and in a forgetful moment Ray
mond stepped too close to the water
and lost his balance.
He screamed pitifully for help as he
sank from sight almost before his play
mates knew what had happened.
Edward Meyers an employee at the
power house ran to the place and
plunged into the current endeavoring
to bring the boy to the surface. The
strong undercurrent was too much for
him, however, and he had to abandon
the attempt.
Two hours later Patrolmen Lonnicki
and O'Connell recovered the body and
summoned Coroner j. M. Kistler. The
body was claimed by the parents and
the coroner decided that an autopsy
was not necessary.
The funeral will take place at the
home Thursday at $3.50 pm. Burial
will be at Layman cemetery. lin"

STUDENTS GIVE PLAYS

Dr.. Richard Burton VIII Appear In Ono
Of His Own Dramas.
Thursday night is the date that DR..
Richard Burton of the university and
the Students Dramatic club will give
three plays at the Johnson School Of
Music, on Eighth street, near Nicollet.
There has been a steady demand for
seats, and tho there are only 400, there
are plenty of good seats on hand at the
Metropolitan Music Store.
The club is endeavoring to lift a
financial burden incurred in it's previous
efforts, but it IS not attempting to cheap
en- its reputation by improvident methods.
1t has gone to the extent of securing
the Euterpean Singing society of twenty
six girls to furnish the music.
DR.. Burton feels that the club is a
needed adjunct to the university. On
that account, he is giving the club lib
orally Of his invaluable time.

New York, Nov. THE acquisition
Of the Illinois Central railroad BYE.
H. Hartman, will not only have dis
astrous effects upon President Fish, but
it may mean serious trouble, for the
president Of the two other western
lines, who like Mr.. Fish, keeps his of
fee in New York. This Is Edwin Haw-
ley, president of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis and the Iowa Central raods.
Mr.. Hawley was formerly a trusted
friend and employee Of Mr.. Hartman.
After having filled various positions
with the Erie, the Rock Island and the
California fast freight line, he in 1885,
was appointed general eastern agent
of the various roads which in 1890 were
amalgamated into the Southern Pacific
system. After this merger was eff
fected he was made assistant general
traffic manager of the Southern Pacific,
with headquarters in New York. Here
he became one Of Hartman s right
hand men, and enjoyed the confidence
Of his chief to an extraordinary degree.
In 1894 he was made vice president
and in 1896 president of the Minneapo-
lis & st. Louis road, and in 1900 presi-
dent Of the Iowa Central, but he con-
tinued to hold his position with the
Hartman lines until 1902. Then,

Revenge May Follow. .,s,
Mr.. Hartman is known as man
who does not forgive easily, and if he
has a score to settle with Mr.. Hawley,
the acquisition of the Illinois Central
will give him good chance to settle.

Iowa Central, under which it uses the
tracks Of Minneapolis & st. Louis from
Albert Lea, Mimi, to- st. Paul and
Minneapolis and in return gives the
Minneapolis & st. Louis and the Iowa
Central an entrance over it's tracks to
Chicago and Omaha. Revocation Of
this arrangement would be a heavy
blow to- Mr.. Hawley's two lines, as It
would bar them from both Chicago
and Omaha. They might make a sim

Reported Drowned Reach

house returned to the city last night
after an absence of over two months
spent in the Canadian northwest.
About two weeks ago, it will be re-
membered, report was circulated and
received some credence, that Mr.. Ken
nedy and Mr.. Morehouse had been the
victims of drowning accident. No
details were given with the report.
consequently DR.. Irwin of this city
became suspicious of the truth of the
story and at once telegraphed to the
mounted police both at Regina and
Calgary. The answers stated that they
had seen nothing of Mr.. Kennedy or
his party, but that no details of a
drowning had been received by them.
When seen this morning Mr.. Ken
nedy certainly looked far from a dead
man and when asked about the re-
port said that he knew nothing of it
until yesterday when a railroad en-
gineer at Neche told him that he had
been reported drowned. Mr.. Kennedy
further stated he had had a fine triD
all the way and that the crops in that
section of the globe were the finest
ever. At Moosejaw things are boom
ing. A new $4,000 brewery is being
built, and a meat canning establish
ment is also we'll under way. This

HELP FROM MINNESOTA.
Big Caravan Passed Through Fargo
for LarimOre.

Minnesota is sending her sturdy sons
into North Dakota to assist in harvest
ing the bountiful crop in this state,
for there has been a cry gone up for
help and the people beyond the Red
are responding. Quite large caravan
of teams and racks, carrying number
of would-be harvesters, passed through
Fargo yesterday on their way to the
vicinity of Larimore, where they will
assist in caring for the crop. Most
of the men come from Little Falls.
The caravan is only indicative of
the movement which is now.going on.
Large number of homesteaders who
have holdings in the pine forests of
northern and eastern Minnesota which
cannot yet be cultivated because of
the heavy growth of timber which
covers them. are coming to North Da-
kota this fall to earn money in the
harvest fields so that they may have
1t to improve their claims Many OF
them will remain here throughout the
harvest and threshing season and
until the snow flies. when they will
return to their claims for the winter
and continue the work of clearing
them.

THE CIVIL ENGINEERS
FINISH THEIR
WORK
Comparative Costs of Drainage
in Different Sections of
North Dakota.

Several of the rod and instrument
men, until recently employed by the
government on the drainage survey
work in Pembina county, passed
through the city last evening enroute
to Fargo where most of the young men
reside. They had with them quite
an assortment of rods. hand spikes,
canteens, levels, tripods and other in
strumehts of warfare used by the sur
veyor and his crew. T. r. Atkinson
who had charge of the work north,
passed through the city several days
ago for Bismarck, where he went to
submit his figures on the work now
completed. From Bismarck he will
journey along the Missouri and look
after more drainage work for Uncle
Sam. At Fargo John T. Stewart, U.
8. engineer in charge, has just made
report of the Fargo district from
the survey that was made last sum-
mer. Mr.. Stewart has since been pre-
pairing report showing how compre-
hensive the work is. In eight districts
covered by this report the highest
average cost per acre Is $685. and the
lowest $1.56 with an average cost per
acre for the whole tract of about 81.
This amount seems very reasonable.
The report of the surveying done in
the vicinity of Grand Forks is expected
in short time and there will be a
good opportunity Of comparing the two
drainage districts. 1t Is though that
Grand Forks district will cost even
less than Fargo but this of course
nothing authentic can be learned until
the report is given for publication.

IS in CUSTODY
Man Alleged to Have Set Fire
to Dog Caught by Hannah
Authorities.

A message received this afternoon
from Langdon notes the capture early
this morning at Hannah, N. D., Of
John Dallen, wanted by the Cavalier
county authorities for crime that for
heathenishness is almost without
parallel.
1t is claimed against Dallen that last
April he wantonly poured kerosene oil
on collie dog belonging to a Cava-
lier man, and afterward set fire to the
beast. The poor animal was literally
roasted alive.
Hearing that the officers of the law
were after him, Dallen skipped to
Canada. Later he was arrested by the
Hannah authorities, but escaped again.
This morning, however, he grew bold
and once more crossed the interna-
tional boundary. He was arrested on
sight and taken today to Langdon. The
states attorney of Cavalier county in
tends to prosecute the accused to the
extent of the law.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
At LANGD0N
TO-DAY
Stranger Dropped Dead in
Salter's Pool Room After
saying "Good- Day"

Something of mystery surrounds the
death of stranger this morning in
a Langdon pool room. Between fifteen
and twenty minutes after Z o'clock a
man of about so years of age walked
into Salter's temperance hall in that
city. greeted the man in charge asked
for a piece of tobacco, and, having re-
ceived the same. started to cross the
floor. He took two steps and. with
out sound. dropped to the floor life-
less. The attendant of the place rush.
ed to the mans side, thinking he had
simply tainted, but. being unable to
arouse him, he notified the authorities.
Death was evidently instantaneous.
Whether caused by the use of drug
or the result of an attack of heart
trouble is not known. but the hangdon
authorities lean to the latter theory.
A search of the dead mans cloth
ing revealed nothing by which he
could be identified. He had letter
in his pocket, however, with the name
m. j. Enright, East Grand Forks"
thereon, and later it was learned that
his name is Arnold. He was strang-
err at Langdon, having arrived there
two days previous. He had been stop
ping at the Great Northern hotel. and
to those with whom he had conversed
he stated he was an engineer and had
run threshing rigs in the northern part
of this state for the past three sea-
sons. In addition to the letter, he
had on his person an Ingersoll watch
and a small amount of money.
Nothing further has been learned
today of the dead mans relatives or
where he came from, and unless there
are immediate developments, the re-
mains will be inferred at Langdon at
the expense of the county.
Inquiry in East Grand Forks failed
to reveal anyone in that city who knew
the deceased. The officials at Langdon
are investigating.
