WHERE IS FIsHERi Engineer of Special Train Was Not Located up to Press Hour.

A great deal of mystery surrounds the fate of Engineer Fisher. It was supposed that his body was under the wreckage. but up to press hour no trace of il had been found. This leads many to conclude that he say what was coming. in time to jump and that fearing to meet the survivors he fied to some place of safety. This opinion was entertained this morning by Coroner Mix and others. hut ows ing to the fact that all indications pointed to the mans death and im- prisonment under the wreckaee. mo- body care to say much about the case.
 At ! o'clock all the debris about the engine of the regular train had been cleaned up and work had progressed % far on the special that you could look under it. so that while there Is still a bare possibility that the body may be there. yet the officials don't think and now lean to the opinion that he realized the danger in time to save his life. If this he % 1t makes the list of fatalities three in stead of four.
 At s.se o'clock the special vas hoisted from its bed and the ground under this thoroughly examined but no trace of the missing engineer vas found This cou1rsrs the coroner's suspicion that he jumped ssl sot out of the vay.

The Onicial statement.

New Haven. March 2.-The fol- lowing statement was issued from the railroad headquarters to-day. Tn the train orders the extra was instructed to take the siding which it failed to do. One of the brakemen on the ex- tra was riding on the engine for the purpose of throwing the switch and he states that when he saw they were running on what he thought was the double track section. he asked the engineer where Hill siding was. The engineer looked at him and then ap- piled the air brakes. Just then the brakeman saw the head light of the other engine and he jumped to save himself. If he had not asked the en- gineer where Hill siding was. which question resulted in the engineer ap- plying the air brakes. the results of the collision would probably have been much worse. Three persons were killed and the responsibility seems to rest with the conductor and engineer of the extra train. Careful investigation will he made as soon as possible and the responsibility will be fixed decisively. There Is no qucs- tion about the employees of the extra train having plenty of rest.

CANDIDATES NEED PUBLICITY.

Mandan Pioneer: There was never
4 period in North Dakota politics
where the necessity for publicity for
the candidates was greater. Under the
provision of the primary election law
the candidates will have to fight
things before June "a. During the
approaching winter the voters will be
in a position to read up ON the issues
and candidates. Next spring they
will be too busy at their crops either
to read a great deal or to listen to
speeches. It's advertising the eandi-
dates will require Some of them ap-
preciate this fact and are already ar
ranging with editors of weekly papers
for a few thousand inches. There are
others who will try to work the same
old graft of having the editors boost
them gratuitously. Some will no doubt
be caught. Many win refuse to do
the work under such circumstances.
Political candidates have no more
right to expect that newspapers do
nate them columns of free space than
has any business man.

Is in men out OF them for the good
of all-Roosevelt is without a peer in
history"
Here is another interesting sentence
rom the Riis interview:
II do not believe" he said; II know.
1 know Roosevelt and 1 know he is
sincere. The man who does not be-
leve Roosevelt is sincere has some
thing the matter with him. OF course,
while Roosevelt lives all cannot be-
lieve in him but why should we not
give a man honor while he lives in
stead of waiting until he is dead?'
Surely no one expects everybody to
approve Of the president. The man
who receives universal approval IS
yet to be born. Generally speaking a
mans worth may be measured by the
character of his enemies and the
things they seek to accomplish
through his overthrow.

NORTH DAKOTA BEAVERS.
John Mccrsry of Cat Tail Creek, Has
Large Collection of Nearly
Four Hundred

Mandan Pioneer: No doubt the
largest family Of Beaver in North Da-
kota, and perhaps the largest in the
United States, are at present located
on Trhn McCraryss land at the mouth
OF the Cat Tail creek, near Winona,
this state. a. few days ago the writer
had the pleasure of a few DAYS visit
at the McCrarv ranch, and while there
we made a visit to the pond which ne
beavers have made by building a dam
a half a mile long across the lowlands
at the mouth of the Cat Tail creek.
The dam is from four to five feet
high and is of mud, stioks and logs.
acres and is from two to six feet
deeD, and is covered with trees, cot
tonwood, etc. The beaver seem anx-
ious to enlarge their pond and are
continually building their dam higher.
But whenever Mr.. McCrary thinks
they are covering too much territory
With water he breaks the dam and the
beaver commence to repair the break
the following night. MI. McCrary saws
they have force enough to dc. as much
work in one night as three good men
with spades could do i'll one day. Mr..
McCrarv would not say how many
beaver he thought he owned. But no
one who looks at the amount of work
they have done and the amount of
food they are putting up for the win
ter, would estimate the number at
less than two hundred to four hundred.
They commenced to build their dam
nearly fifteen years ago, and no one
has been allowed to trap Or disturb
them since.

CASEY IS

Underwood Miner: The case of the
United States VS.. John M. Casey, be-
ing a perjury charge in connection
with a homestead proof, came up for
trial before the U. S. District court
in Minot the first of the week. Many
charges of q similar nature were pend
ing, most of them the result of Special
Agent C%ockburn's over-zealous and ig-
himself with the department of the
interior.
The case against John NJ. Casey
was made a sort of test, the gov
eminent evidently hoping to get a
conviction. U. S.. District Attorney
Rourke was assisted by Judge Enge-
rud, formerly on the supreme bench,
and one of the most able lawyers in
the state.
1t was the governments contention
that Mr.. Casey swore falsely when
making proof on his homestead fifteen
or twenty miles west of Garrison. The
proof was made on December 9th,
1904. The only important witnesses for
the prosecution were two neighbors,
Bcden and Boyer, who wore that
Casey never lived on his homestead.
Then came the defense. Witness
after witness, from the neighborhood
of Mr. Casey's claim, was put upon
the stand and each wore positively
that Mr.. Casey lived on the land IN
stantly during the time he claimed
to have lived there. And though
these witnesses were subjected to the
most merciless kind of cross-examina-
ton by the able attorneys for the
government their evidence could not
be shaken even in the smallest de-
tail.
The case thus resolved itself into
a question of whether Boden and Boy
er were periurers, or whether John
M. Casey and a dozen other honest
and substantial witnesses living in
the m neighborhood had deliberate
ly sworn falsely. Tt took the jury less
than ten minutes to bring in a YER
dict Of acquittal, thus vindicating John
M. Casey and clearing his character
and reputation from the dastardly as
pensions cast upon it by two ignorant.
perjuring witnesses.
1t is thought that these two wit
nesses. Boden and Boyer, will them
selves be arrested for perjury, and we.
trust that they will get the full limit
of the law.
The case Of a like nature against
Thomas M. Casey will be dismissed,
for the facts and evidence are alike
in each case and the government at
torneys are convinced that a trial
would result only in another speedy
acquittal.

Rus ON ROOSEVELT.

Grand. Forks Times: Jacob Riis,
Presidents Roosevelt's close personal
friend, discussed the political situa-
ton in Minneapolis on Tuesday. He
reiterated the presidents early decla-
ration that he would not be a candi-
date again, and here is the way he
did it:
But the work he has begun in regu-
lating the trusts cannot be completed
in "a year and the question remains
whether we cannot force him to be-
come president again. Purely as my
own personal opinion, and coming in
no way from Roosevelt, I believe that
it might be possible to show that it.
will be for the good of the country
that Roosevelt again be made presi-
dent. At all events the work of curb.
ing mammon will go on"
No one has ever thought the
president would be a candidate for
reelection, after what he himself said
on that subject Immediately after his
first election. On that point the Times.
which has constantly favored him for
another term for nearly two years
past, has been quite clear. We have,
nevertheless, believed and believe now
that he will be nominated next year,
and that the nomination will come to
him in such form as to make his
acceptance certain. MIR. Riis merely
restates the position of the Times
when he says that sit might be posi-
Bile to show that it will be for the
good of the country that Roosevelt
again be made president.
He also confirms our views, fire.
