shot In the air.
In an instant the greatest excite
ment prevailed. Most Of the crowd
rushed out of the saloon into the
street. There was but one or two
cool heads in the crowd. One OF
them was the colored porter, who ap-
preached Watson and disarmed him
after a short tussle.
As soon as the crowd saw Wat
son disarmed. a dozen or more men
rushed him and by blows and kicks
soon had him used pretty badly.
Watson was taken to DR.. w. H.
Kunst's office where a cut on the
back Of his head was dressed. He
was then removed to the jackson ho-

Il have noticed particularly the
course of Senator Ashburn, of Dod-

constituents are not well pleased
with his record. He takes every
proposition quite seriously and has
entered vigorous objection to bills
going to committees to which they
do not properly belong. He is also
able to look at both sides of a ques.
ton and seems to realize that every

1t is not out of place to remind the
true friends of the university that
sending such men as John NJ. Ander-
son to Bismarck to speak for that in
stitution was largely the cause of it
having no consideration shown it by
the other parts Of the state except
what was its as matter of right. If
the people of Grand Forks county de-
sire to be represented by such sticks,
the university will have need to look
elsewhere for its champions. During
the late session Representative Bur-
dick saved the institution by demand
ing of Anderson that he keep quiet
a thing which he did during the re-
mainder of the session. Had he not
done so it is not improbable that the
slice from the university would have
been larger. Mr.. Burdick was not a
graduate of the university, but he was

PATENTED A WASHER
Portland. n. D., Man Receives Patent
ON q Clever InventiOn-Offered
Big Price.

S. E. Parks, of Portland, n. D., has
been granted a patent on a. washer
which is said to be one of the cleverest
devices ever invented. The washer in
itself is quite simple. 1t is in two
pieces and can be placed in position
on shafting or other places where
washers are required, without neces-
stating taking machinery apart or
stopping the operation of plants to put
the washer in position, as is necessary
with the ordinary washer. Mr.. Parks
has received several offers in which
concerns wished to buy his patent out
right, but he has refused the offers and
will retain the sole ownership of his
invention. When he submitted the pat
ent to the authorities at Washington
he was offered $4,000 for the same,
while the other day he was offered
$4,000 for it.
Mr.. Parks is an inventive genius.
He has invented patent wagon tongue.
The patent makes it possible to extend
or shorten a wagon tongue to any
length desired, and is of great value to
farmers and teamsters who drive diff
ferent sizes of horses.

HUMAN JUSTICE.

The trial of Harry Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White, no matter
what the outcome of the same may
be, will disclose one side of our mod
ern civilization which needs REFORM
ing far more than some of the things
which have been regarded by the peo-
pie as cardinal sins. 1t is not nee
essary that men be purists in order
to believe in social Justice. The lat
ter is merely Reorganization of the
principles Of humanity.
1t is not necessary to discuss the
real motive which prompted Thaw to
fire the fatal shot which sent the soul
of Stanford White into eternity;
neither is it necessary to discuss for
the purposes of this article whether
or not he was suffering from any alb
normal brain conditions at the time
the act was committed. The point is
whether woman who has once
Travelled the forbidden ways can re-
pudiate her old life and seek a purer
and higher one and be justified in
compelling even the partners of her
waywardness to respect her changed
condition, and protect herself from
their efforts to again drag her down
to their own depths.
The wife of the man now fighting
for his liberty, if not his life, at the
bar of justice might have been a way
ward girl. She may have been all that
a noble and pure girl should not be-
But if when she gave her heart and
her soul to the man who became her
husband, she sought to change her
life and make it as pure and as honor
able as her past would permit, she
was certainly entitled to protection of
some kind from the men who sought
to draw her back into the old life
merely to lower her to depths beyond
those which she had already known.
White, prompted ythe brutal desires
which characterized his whole life,
bent every energy to drag her down
from the higher plane she had taken
as wife; and knowing his purposes
and possibly recognizing her own
weaknesses, she fought for her stand
ing and her redeemed honor. 1t is
true that many of the things which
e he did would to any other person
seem far too trivial to justify the TAX
ing of human life in retaliation. But
Evelyn Thaw knew that to her these
things meant a thousand times more
than they would have meant to any
other woman and though they seemed

CANDLE STARTED THE BLAZE
Travelling Man Tells Of Brainerd Fire
in Which Former Grand Forks
People Figured.

F. Toening, a Chicago salesman in
the city today in conversation with an
Evening Times reporter stated that he
was at Brainerd, MIMI, at the time of
the Ransford hotel fire. Thomas Beare,
formerly of this city, was manager of
the hotel. Said Mr.. Toening:
If the fire had occurred in the night
time, when all the guests were asleep,
and when there would have been more
delay in getting the fire department
to the scene, the results would have
been very serious indeed. AS it is, the
building was destroyed, although no
lives We're lost. Several of the firemen
and the volunteer assistants suffered
from the effects of an overdose of
smoke.
THE first the people about the place
knew of the blaze was when they were
attracted by the hysterical screams of
Mrs. Beare, wife of the proprietor. Mr..
Beare himself was out of the city at
the time. His wife, it appears, was
scouting around in the closet of her
room with the assistance of a candle.
she dropped the candle out OF her
hand, and in second the clothing was
blazing. She jumped back and slammed
the door. Then she began to scream
like a crazy person, and guests rushed
to her assistance. 1t took several min
utes for them to find out what the trou-
BILE was. She could not talk at all, but
did nothing but scream. Finally smoke
was seen issuing from the cracks in
the closet door, and the trouble was
discovered. Six hand fire extinguish-
ers were used without effect. The fire
department finally succeeded in sub
DUNG the flames.
Mrs. Beare did not become calm for
a long time. Even after the firemen
arrived on the scene she could hardly
be kept from rushing into the blazing
room to rescue her personal belong
ings. While the fire was at its worst,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-03-15

small to the unthinking world, in all
probability they meant ruin again to
her.
There has never been an indication
that since she became the wife of
Harry Thaw she has not been all that
a wife should be, barring the life she
had lived before. This her husband
knew and accepted when he led her
to the altar, and if she was true to
her amended life she was entitled to
the protection of society. There is
constant cry for reforming the fallen
women who have once gone wrong,
and for this work vast sums Of money
are annually contributed, while de-
voted workers spend their lives in
rescuing these people, If they are
worth so much in the saving through
the efforts of others, what is it not
worth to have one seek to save her.
self? What sympathy does her ira
Queer deserve, though dead by the
hands Of one who might not have been
any better?
