Hobo Fight - Tuesday afternoon
an alteration occurred among eight
hobos near the round house. The
men had been drinking and got into
fight over a game Of craps. One Of
the men who gave his name as
Charles Davis, was shot twice Dy a
companion, said to have been a one
legged man, who had..a crutch with
which Davis was also struck upon
the head. Davis was shot in the
right shoulder and a second bullet
passed through the side of the neck.
He was taken to the city hospital
where he was found to have been but
slightly injured and in no immediate
danger. He described his assailants
as two men, both cripples, ..one as
mentioned above, the other with but
one arm. The policemen arrested
both these men and confronted Davis
with them. He then denied that
either one of them had shot him and
it is believed that both were Ibis
pals. The police ran the entire
crowd out of town, and Davis is at
the city hospital.

Expects.No Car Shortage--Frank-
lin X. Lane, Interstate commissioner,
who is making investigation of the
transportation facilities of the north
west railroads, arrived in this state
Saturday. According to his investi-
CATION thus far, there will be no
shortage OF cars for hauling coal and
grain this winter. Mr.. Lane said:
tAll the roads leading to North Da-
kota have Investigated and found
that their coal sheds and the retail
dealers coal sheds are filled approx
mately to capacity. All have moved
a greater amount of coal this sum-
mer, owing to the unfortunate ex-
periences of last winer, than they
moved last summer, or any previous
summer, the Great Northern reports
twice as much, the Northern Pacific
SO per cent more, and the 500 that
their inspectors report all sheds
filed.
"The roads have granted side
track and coal shed privileges on
their right of way when demanded
and this has led to large increase
in capacity at local stations.
Approximately there are 100000
more tons of coal at the head of the
lakes than last year and about three
months more open weather.
Commissioner Lane states that he
has found that the railroads have
carried much more coal this year
than last. They have increased their
equipment and motive power They
have filed their own coal sheds and
the retail dealers have bought all
the coal they can store at one time.
The railroads have protited by th5
sad experiences of last year, but the
persons most directly interested, have
failed to buy their winters supply,
which would enable the retailer to
fill his bins again before the Car con-
gestion or bad storms appear. The
commissioner urges the people to get
busy.
j. NJ. Hannaford, vice president
and traffic manager of the Northern
Pacific and Charles W. Bum, general
counsel for that road, assured the in
terstate commerce commissioner
Lane today. there is little probability
of a car shortage and coal famine In
the northwest. The railway officials
told Mr.. Lane that about 38, 900 cars
would be needed to,move the wheat
andsthat the company has about 43,-:
600 of its own cars on lines and lO,-
600 foreign cars.
New elevators with capacity Of L.
100, 900 bushels llave been built along
the line, said the railway officials and
elevators with 320, 900 bushels capa-
city are now being built. They said
that the company had taken all pos-
sible precaption, and had moved so
per cent more coal this summer than
last. There rs now 2, 600, 900 tons of
coal at the head tof the lakes and
three months more Of open water.
