A notorious brigand, Stanislaus Lis,
the author of many crimes, has been
captured at Lublin. ninety-five miles
from here, mortally wounded after
the house in which he had sought
refuge had been blown to pieces by
artillery fire. Lis, when he saw that
a detachment of police was advancing
on the house, barricaded himself with
in and opened fire on the police, kill
ing several of them. Troops were
summoned to the assistance Of the
police, but they were unable to dis
lodge the bandit. Finally several
quickfire field pieces were brought up
and trained on the house. Eight shells
hit the building, which was demol-
ished, after which the infantry stormed
the ruins and found Lis, desperately
wounded, trying to reload his revolver,
which he had emptied at the attack
ing party.

Suspends Immigration Work

Owing to high price of labor and
other expenses connected with the
big irrigation projects of the country,
work has been suspended on all con-
tracts except those nearing compile
tion and. further investigations
on new projects discontinue. The
funds would be exhausted before the
vear. was over unless halt was called
on the great projects at the rate the
money was being spent. Lands with
drawn for reclamation work will be
thrown open for settlement but the
government will withhold all water
and reservoir rights. The Williston
irrigation project is about the only
one of any considerable extent In this
state and it is not probable the order
will affect the work to be done there.

Of course. The equipment is 20 be
absolutely new and fresh from the

of Nos. l and , will do service in
Nos. 3 and +, which will give two
practically limited trains. The added
service will be gained from running
Nos. and 8, now--stopping at james
town as Il coast train.
1t is said that the management of
the company deems it best to make
four regular passengers each way
daily, rather than run the present
trains in two and sometimes three
sections.
1t is believed that the adoption OF
the two-cent fare in Minnesota and
North Dakota will also slim ulate
travel. This has been found to be
the fact in Nebraska, where this rate
went into effect two months ago. In
stead of taking off trains there, as
was threatened, extras have been put
in service-Bismarck Tribune.

Will Conform to Law The Great
Northern railroad has decided to ac-
ccpt tile cent passenger fare and the
commodity. tie schedule passedDy the
Mimi. legislature. Inasnluch as the
acceptance of the new rates by the
Great Northern will mean that the

similar action, it is safe assertion
that both schedules will be accepted
by the roads and the pending suits
over the freight rate schedule will be
dropped. Both laws go into effect
May !.
Tile coma odity rate bill provides
cut in the present commodity
freight rates averaging 10 per cent
throughout the state and in some in
stances more than twice that
amount The other bill makes the

The con- n odity rate bill was passed
bv the legislature as compromise
between the present rates and the
rates ordered by the state railroad
commission. The commission last
! summer reduced the merchandise
rates between l3 and 20 per cent and
the three Northern roads voluntarily
reduced commodity rates about l0
per cent, yet the railroad commission
made I; further order reducing the

RAYMOND and PORTER
Notes From and About Two North
Dakotans in
Florida.


son, writes to the Steele Ozone, un-
der date Of April l, from southern
Florida:
This is great and picturesque Sec
tion for cruising ana fishing and is
on such large scale that one is en-.
tirely out of sight Of the main land
OF Florida in many places, though
islands, reefs and shoals are not many
miles away at any time.
This is undoubtedly the greatest
fishing grounds in. tile United States,
many fishermen making good wages
catching fish with hand. lines at
a market price of one or two cents
a pound. The shooting is OF little ac
count in most places, though there
are deer, bear, turkey and quail wild
cat, pOssum, coon and skunk pack
from settlements a few miles. Such
another place for coCns we have. ne>
er heard Of,and when we Say''cOOns'
we mean raccoons and not negroes.
At the north end Of Key Largo we
had tie pleasure Of meeting ex Sec
retary OF State Porter of Darlington,
who is opening up large grape fruit
plantation. We understand that
Hanna of Fargo and other North Da-
kotanS are interested with him in
this venture, intending to make it a
Florida winter headquarters where
the fishing is unexcelled as well as a
fruit farm. Mr.. Porter kindly showed
Us over a part of his plantation, and
welcomed US to his newly erected res
idence. They have not yet got their
stone house very far under way, but
a beautiful coral rock is in the yard
ready to be put into the house. He
had just returned from Il days fish,
| ing out on the reefs with more and
larger fish than he knew what to do
with, one we saw weighing thirty
pounds, and he persuaded us to take
one for our own Use. We selected a
small grouper, and it was certainly
fine eating. I cannot give you even
the names Of half the fish that are
caught in tnese waters; hog fish,
muttonfsh, groupers, snappers,
grunts, sailors choice, angle fish,
drum fish, Spanish. ..mackereal, king
fish, barracoutas, tarpon, sawtish,
shark, porpoise, there seemingly is
no end to them.
1t has not rained anywhere We
have. been on the east coast since the
middle of last October enough to
make one good shower, ..and the West
India hurricane of October did an
immense amount of damage to South
Florida, and between the wind and
the lack of rain, it has hurt the crops
| nearly fifty per cent, but we have
been able to. keep out storeroom sup
piled all winter with grape fruit,
oranges, lemons and japanese persim-
mons, and with freshly grown cab
bage, turnips, lettuce and tomatoes
since the middle Of February, and
the tomatoes are the finest we have
ever tasted. String bean harvest has
ended, but the tomato crop is still
on though past it's zenith. Pineapples
are SO common that we forgot to
mention.them, and new potatoes are
an old story:gauvas are to be secured
occasionally, sapadillOs, mulberries,
Japanese plums are putting in an ap-
pearance. The Christmas freeze up
set the bananas.
