and wife were speeding eastward to
spend their honeymoon at the brides
home in Wisconsin, having heard of
the beauties of Minot, the groom de-
scended from the train to get glance

at Devils Lake and the groom left for
that city this morning to make
amends, II amends be possible.

Winnipeg, Aug. "a story which
shows that there is still honor in the
business world was recently related
to Free Press reporter. About %
years ago. Mr.. G. F. Newcomb, an old
and respected citizen of Winnipeg, was
obliged to 60 to Buffalo, N. Y, for
medica! treatment, and after leaving
the hospital dropped into a jewelry
store to have a shirt stud repaired,
but being unable to wait until the re-
pairs were completed he left his adj
dress with instructions to forward 1t
to him when repaired. After waiting
time for letter from the firm, he
wrote several tines. and at last re-
ceived word that the stud had been
mislaid, and could not be found. In
course of time the head of the Arm
died, and was succeeded by one Miss
Anna Davies. who recently found the
stud with Mr.. Newcomb's name at
tached. and Immediately wrote for an
address by which she could forward
1t to the owner, and a few days ago
Mr.. Newcomb received the stud which
he had given up as lost forever. Here
Is an example Of honesty and fair
dealing. which 1t is refreshing to read
about, and worthy Of notice.

and Labor

At meeting of the building COM
mittee of Wesley college and the aux
iliary committee of the Grand Forks
Commercial club, held in Grand Forks
today. it was announced that decl-
sion had been reached last evening
whereby contracts for the construction
of Easements only for Wesley college
buildings-Lynch and sayre halls
would be let this fall, the committee
having reached this decision after
lengthy correspondence both by mail
and by letter with the leading con-
tractors of the city and the state.
Those consulted with gave it as their
opinion that it would not be advisable
to begin construction of the buildings
at this time of the year for the reason
that labor and material is very high
at the present time and there Is no
assurance OF ability to obtain either.
The committee needed this advice,
which was augmented with the further
suggestion that 1t would be we'll to
complete the Easements this year, pro-
tect them from frost and have every
thing in readiness for construction

Mount Holly. N. j., Aug. 9.-Joseph
,Likens, who arrived in this city six
weeks ago, and whose identity was
concealed at the home of relatives on
West Washington street, escaped ar
rest by; hastily leaving Galveston,
where it was thought his name was
Douglas, because of his knowledge of
the details of the abduction of Charley
Ross. He denies that he had any
hand in the kidnapping. Since his pres
ence here became known Likens has
not been molested by the authorities.
He asserts positively that Charley
Ross Is living. and said yesterday:
II found him in a grocery store in
Galveston. We became friendly and
were together much of the time.
Ross remembered having been placed
in an orphan asylum at New Orleans,
and being visited by woman who
was not his mother. 1t was not long
ago when he made an investigation of
this matter and found It to be true.
He ran away because of bad treat
ment. This Is also the reason he gives
for leaving the employ of several farm
ers. Ross became a machinist, and
was sufficiently educated for clerk
ship with the Union Pacific railroad,
by which he Is now employed.
