DEEP MYSTERY IN CONNECTION WITH
DISAPPEARANCE Of THOMAS ], FORD

over my ears. Well We both stopped
for minute and soon the cries again
floated over the still night air. We
could hear they plainly coming from
somewhere in the neighborhood of the
Northern Pacific bridge, but at first
supposed them to be the shouts of
drunk who perhaps was letting off
steam" However, the cries were
repeated several times and sounding
as they did like means of distress my
companion, who is an employee of the
Grand Forks Steam laundry, and my
self decided to investigate.
Suiting the decision we retraced
our steps taking the ~ P. tracks at
the depot. BY this time the cries mad
died out and everything was still. We
finally reached the bridge peered out
over the ice in every quarter, especially
under the bridge, and if there had
been anybody in sight at that time
would certainly have descerned him.
THE cries and subsequent stiffness
threw cloak of mystery over the al
fair SO to make sure we walked back
and forth over the bridge several
times. The switch engine interrupted
us at this time and my companion and
l separated, he returning to this side
of the river. walked on to the bank
and meeting a railroad man bound
for this side told him OF the cries and
requested that he keep sharp
watch.
The search started last night con-
tinued through most of the night. This
morning at day light it was resumed.
Every saloon in East Grand Forks
was visited, but not the slightest sign
of him was found. Belief that he met
with some Of his friends from Chi
cago, where he formerly resided and
had gone out with them, were shat
tered when the result of the search
through the saloons was announced.
Another possibility suggested is
that he might have become bereft Of
his reason, and wandered away. Those
who know Ford best state that there
is very little foundation for such be-
lief, for mentally, he was a strong
man.
The search has been kept up incess-
antly all day. Everything has been
done to locate him, but the mystery
grows deeper than ever.
Mrs. Ford is almost Frustrated, but
is ebaring up as we'll as could be ex-
pected. She came to Grand Forks
last May with her husband from Chi
cago, on account of her health. They
reside at 300 North Seventh street and
have cosy little home, and are the
parents of one child.

been another accident, or at the very
best a cold ducking. One Of Mr..
Duricks feet went through and in u
place where subsequent measurement
showed depth of IS feet of water.
Some time ago Lloyd Campbell had
a narrow escape from drowning,
James Barrett was another of the
younger crowd to get ducking. Both
of these accidents happened at points
in the river where the boys had been
wont to skate almost every other year.
Yesterday a team of horses went
through the ice between the De Mers
and Great Northern bridges and sew

Frank F. Ross was also in the vicin-
ity II San Isidro on the 16tn day OF
May 1899 and seems not to have neg
lected any opportunities or bets as
the War Department there describes
his conduct on that day as follows:

The above sums up in few words
the exact results of the crusade of
the Grand Forks Commercial club for
the relief Of the famine sufferers of
North Dakota which came to a head
yesterday when the club sent long
telegram to President j. J. Hill of the
Great Northern asking that special
train or trains be rushed from this
city at once.
The fifteen cars were ready this
noon and the wholesale houses at once
commenced the filling of them. Men
and teams are toiling like beavers
this afternoon stocking the cars with
groceries, oil and all kinds of staple
provisions such as needed in the pres
ent crisis. The loading will be fin
ished some time during the night AMI
the train will dash forth along the
main line tomorrow morning. One car
will be dropped off at each of the
fifteen towns along the line, these
towns to be determined upon accord
ing to their immediate necessity. The
original plans were to stock the cars
and peddle the goods along the entire
route thus affording relief to every
burg on the line, but acting upon the
advice of General Manager Ward
these plans have been abandoned.
Mr.. Ward says that from a half to
three quarters of an hour would be
consumed at each station in peddling
and that during this time the train
would stand good chance of getting
frozen or showed in, thus putting a
stop to the entire expedition.
President Lander of the Commercial
club this morning received a telegram
from General Manager Ward who is
out on the line in western North Da-
kota. The telegram is as follows:
:................. ................:
We distributed eight cars of {:
merchandise yesterday between {:

James ]. Hill in replying to the tele-
gram of the Commercial club last
night stated that he had referred the
matter to Mr.. Ward with recon-
mendation for urgent action but at
the same ime he said the general
manager was doing all in his power

Northwestern Road Coming.

High officials OF the Chicago &
Northwestern railway ars credited
with the statement that construc tion
will be Immediately pushed westward
from Shoshone, Wyoming, and con
tinued across the Bitter Root divide
to st. Anthony. This is confirmation
of the statement published months
ago when the Northwestern surveyors
we're rushing lines through the lowest
passes In that region. That the road
will be surveyed through central Ore
gon, and touch tidewater at both
Coos bay and Portland, is now re
garded as certain.
Several years will be required to
work out the Northwestern 3 problem
Of reaching the coast from central
Wyoming. The distance to be ira
versed Is about 1000 miles. The work
has thus far proceeded slowly on ac-
count of the Northwestern we'll
known close traffic atiiliation with the
Union Pacific system.
Railroad relationships have been
changing rapidly in the last year or
two, and the far-seeing railroad men
foresee that before long other trans
continental lines must push through
to the coast in order to keep within
hailing distance of the growing traffic
The coming in of the Milwaukee, an
other close friend Of the Hartman
roads, will further change traffic con.
ditions that have for so long been
nicely balanced to suit the existing
combinations.

Last year when the bulk OF the crop

time on the prices would retIograde
until high class apples requiring ex-
pensive culture would not pay for the

Thomas A, Edison, the great Ameri-
can inventor, says "Fully eighty per
cent of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too much
food; people are inclined to oover-n-dulge
themselves" This is where indigestion
finds its beginning in nearly every case.
The stomach can do just so much work
and no more, and when you overload it,
or when you eat the wrong kind of
food, the digestive organs cannot pos
sibly do the work demanded OF them.
II is at such times that the stomach
needs help; it demands hlep, and warns
you by headaches, belching, sour stom-
ach, nausea and indigestion. You
should attend to this at once by taking
something that will actually do the
work for the stomach, Kodol will do
this. 1t is a combination of natural
digestants and vegetable acids and con-
tains the same juices found in healthy
stomach, 1t is pleasant to take. 1t
digests what you eat. Sold by Keir &
