you will not criticise my short

harshly., l couldn't quite work

it so near that l don't believe
you can object very much.
1t has also been arranged to
hold the Shorthorn sale at MinOt

Horse thieves again got busy at
Fessenden and visited the farm of
John Edinger in Bremen township,
and got away with four horses. Mr..
Edinger was awakened about 1890 by
the dog barking and about II o'clock
went out to the barn and found the
horses gone. They were able to fol-
low tht tracks of the horse thieves
for about mile north through the
blowing but from there they were un-
able to tel which way they went. Sew
eral parties are now securing the
country loaded to the neck in hopes
they will get glimpse of the thieves
and bring them to justice.
Here's a piece of good news, i'm
portant II true: Express rates in
North Dakota and west are to be
slashed as soon as the officials can
arrange new schedule. This is in
harmony with the recent reduction in
Minnesota. The cut in North Dakota
is less, but is expected to average
from 80 to 35 per cent. 1t will be of
great benefit to all western shipments.
Burt Conroy, the worst of the Saw
yer bank robbers, sent to the pen for
twenty years. has written Judge Goss
asking that the pipe of the dead Duffy,
another bank robber, who passed in
his checks in the county Jail, might be
sent to him. Duffy says that it will
be long time before he can get out
to earn money to buy new pipe and
Dufy's old one would come In mighty
handy at times.

Broke Jail.

Continuing his wild career as
an outlaw, Alexander Carron,
who has far surpassed the record
OF Jesse James or any other
criminal OF modern times, and
who is wanted by the authori-
ties of the U. s. and Canada, as
we'll as by sheriffs of several
North Dakota counties, on
charges varying ali the way from
petit larceny to murder, and in
Guiding grand larceny, horse
stealing and assault on anofficer

IS IT WORTH EFFORT {?
Way to Save $500 Going to st.
Paul Has Its Drawbacks.

People who are figuring on
travelling to Minneapolis and the
east from North Dakot and who
are immensely tick Il over the
two-cent rate WI IN recently
went into effect n the state of
Minnesota, may find themselves
abashed when the announcement
is made that it nn"r.y; De better and
cheaper in rne long run to pay
the three-cent rate stipulated in
the Interstate commerce laws.
According to a we'll known
passenger agent no baggage can
be carried, and only those WIN
can move about with their be-
longings tied up in a sack or in a
suit case will be benefited. If the
above statement is true a large
percentage of passengers will be
unable to avail themselves of
the fruits Of the anti-rallroad
legislation.
In speaking of the method by
which a person could travel from
Devils Lake to St. Paul for less
than three cents per mile, by
purchasing a ticket to Grand
Forks and then travelling from
East Grand Forks on the cheap
two-cent rate in effect May l,
railroad men state that the de-
vice is very crude, for in addi-
ton to the baggage proposition
above mentioned, the trouble in
making the connections and the
delay that a person would be SUBJ
jected to will far outweigh the
saving made.
Eyes, it can be done." re-
marked another railroad man,
but how many people do you see
trying it," Think of it, a per-
son has to purchase a ticket to
Grand Forks or East Grand
Forks, the towns on the immedi-
ate border, then another has to
be procured either by leaving the
train or using a mileage book.
No baggage can be checked by
this system, and, taken all in all,
it will be more bother than the
difference in rate. "

Four prisoners broke out of the
Morton County Jail, but were cap
tured. They managed to get some
wire from a broom, with which they
1erked back the bolt from their cell,
getting into the corridor. 1t was then
easy to pick out a few brick and
breathe free air.
