got busy Saturday night, and made it
known that If the fight was allowed, in.

Hagen investigated and discovered
that the fight was for a knockout, al.
though advertised as boxing match.
Intense interest was taken in the fight,
which would have been the best ever
seen in this part of the country. Good
prelimjnaries had been arranged and
a complete program which would have
taken many hours If the fighters had
gone the limit.
Considerable dissatisfaction is felt

Plaza is in dire need of coal and
food supplies and If relief is not soon
received, there is a fear that the res
idents will suffer great hardships.
Many are in a destitute condition and
help must come at once
Authoritative Information is to the
effect that it has been over two weeks
since Plaza has had ton of coal. The
Commercial club has taken the matter
up and is doing all in its power to re-
lieve the conditions.
The people are using what supplies
they have on hand very sparingly, and
it is hoped that they can be made to
hold out until the relief train reaches
town. Reports have come In from
numerous towns on the 500 and Great
Northern, that the supplies are run.

The recent blizzard has given both
roads another serious setback and the
congestion of freight is even worse
than before. Freight shipped from
the Twin Cities months ago is still on
the road.
Business is more or less tied up.
Minot faces a sugar and kerosene
famine constantly. The supply Of kero-
sene recently received has relieved
conditions to some extent, but there is
hardly any sugar in town.
Some of the restaurants there have
placed brown sugar on the tables and
lump sugar is being granulated by
some housekeepers in order to supply
the table and do cooking. There is a
shortage of vegetables, and it will be
some time before there will be sup
ply Oh hand.
The roads are SO bad that farmers
cannot come to town with any degree
of comfort, and the trips they make
these days are mostly to the mines for
coal.
DR.. NJ. A. Stewart of Omemee was
recently interviewed in Minneapolis.
He said:
There are parts in North Dakota
where the fuel shortage during the
past three months has been con-
slant menace, and it will continue to
be menace until next spring.
"The doal supply all over the north
-ern part of the state is just hit or
miss proposition, and if something
untoward should happen, there would
be great suffering. AS things have
been up to this time, the greater part
of North Dakota has depended wholly
on luck in getting its supply of fuel. II
anything untoward really happened
there would have been suffering Of the
most intense kind"
