Mclean Shot in the Neck.

Shortly before five o'clock County
Attorney Mclean, heading party Of
deputies, forced an entrance into the
place, placed a number of men under
arrest and loaded furniture van
with tables and other paraphernalia.
The wagon with the confscated furni-
ture had just moved off when Thomp-
son approached Mclean, who was
standing on the sidewalk, and when
within a few feet of the official, fired
one shot, the bullet striking Mclean
in the throat, breaking his neck and
causing almost instant death. AS Nc
Lean fell, Thompson turned and ran
west on Sixth street with Scott in
pursuit.
Dodging behind billboard at Sew
enth and Trockmorton streets,
Thompson ambushed Scott, shooting
the deputy three times in the body.
When Scott fell Thompson stopped
only long enough to discard his
empty pistol for that carried by the
dying deputy and then renewed his

Desperate Fight with officers.

BY this time score of policemen
and deputy sheriffs, followed by hun
dreds of excited men and boys, were
in pursuit of Thompson, who found
temporary refuge in lumber shed
just across the street from the
Touraine hotel, the most fashionable
hostelry in the city. Here he was To-
Gated by Patrolmen Bell and Lloyd.
Thompson, by this time thoroughly
desperate and with the cry of lynch
him" ringing in his ears, was ready
for fight to the death.
Bell and Lloyd opened fire on
Thompson, which the latter returned.
The officers wounded Thompson in
three places and he is probably fatal
ly injured. AS soon as Thompson had
emptied his gun the officers, whose
own pistols were emptied, fell upon
him with bare hands and made him a
prisoner

Crowd Wanted to Lynch Him.

Soon the police patrol wagon came
dashing through the crowd and the
officers came out dragging Thompson
with them and holding their empty re-
volvers in their hands. The mob
threw themselves upon the officers
and were only prevented from attack
ing Thompson by the declaration that
the man was dead.
With men hanging on the steps of
the wagon and demanding the life of
the wounded prisoner, the race was
made to the station and the prisoner
was carried into the police hospital.
The story was then spread that he was
dead and the mob quoted.

COMMISSIONERS To
TAKE UP GAS
FRANCHISE
Assessment of it Will Be What
Board is to Talk About
Wednesday Morning.

At the session of the board of coun-
ty commissioners today. the matter of
the abatement of taxes on the fran
chise of the Grand Forks Gas and
Electric company came in for a full
share of attention. Following the
opinion of States Attorney Wineman
rendered yesterday, to the effect that
the franchise is assessable. Attorney
G. ]. Murphy appeared before the
board and in long argument ex-
planned the position taken by the gas
company relative to the matter. He
cited similar cases in Minnesota which
had been decided by the courts, up
holding the company in it's objection
to paying taxes on the franchise.
After considerable discussion it
was decided to defer action until to-
morrow when it is expected City At
torney Rex will be on hand to explain
the citys side of the question.
Another matter up before the board
at the meeting today. was that of re-
tanning man as extra clerk in the
offices of the county treasurer and
county auditor. There was quite a
clash over the matter, Chairman Kors-
mo holding that the commissioners
should not dip into the hiring of the
men in the various departments.
However, the other members of the
board voted otherwise and Charles ].
Evanson was retained as an extra
clerk

HIGH CLASS ENTERTAINMENT
Music Lovers Greatly Pleased With
Evans Male Quartet Entertain.
ment of Monday.

The music lovers and patrons of the
local playhouse, to the number of sew
eral hundred, were treated to high
class entertainment at the Metropoli-
tan last evening upon the occasion of
the first appearance in this city of the
Evans Male Quartet, developed from
among local talent, now signed up by
Mississippi Lyceum Bureau and
soon to make a round of the Chautau-
qua assemblies of the country.
The highest compliment the Even
ing Times can pay the quartet is to
say that its work is professional,
something scarcely to be expected and
rarely found under similar circum-
stances.
The program of last evening was of
two parts and twenty-four numbers,
with a dozen brief encores added. In
the selection of the numbers the good
judgment of Mr.. Evans is easily dis
cernable-variety, which is, after all,
first class criterion, being one of
the features. Invariably program
of this character and length becomes
tiresome, but the applause and the
demand for encores was just as strong
at the close of the entertainment as
at the beginning. The numbers con-
sisted Of quartet singing, solos, duets,
trios, instrumental numbers, and bell
and zylophone specialties, the latter
by Prof. Evans who displays variety
of musical accomplishments.
The quartet consists of Mr.. Evans,
tenor and leader, Mr.. Arthur E, Han
son, tenor, Mr.. L. ]. Anderson, bari
tone and Mr.. Alfred tombstone, bass,
with Miss Lulu Ripson as accompan-
list. Individually the parts were we'll
rendered and collectively the result
was the same. The solo work of Mr..
Evans, Mr.. tombstone and Mr.. Ander-
son was excellent, while Miss Ripson
showed herself pianist of marked
ability in the one instrumental num-
Der contributed by her. All in all, the
entertainment was first class, and the
young people who took part are to be
congratulated upon the success at
tanned. The Times predicts a bright
future for the Evans Male quartet

Small Margin.

Guthrie, Okla, April 2.-Oklahoma
cities are holding their elections for
mayor and other officials today. I'm
der the stirring political conditions
accompanying the transition from a
territorial form of government to
statehood, it is but natural that mo- e
than ordinary interest should be mani
tested in the elections, especially as
some of the contests have more or
less important bearing on the sena-
torial and other contests to come. In
Guthrie the mayoralty contest has
been an exciting one. The rlya! can

who heads the democratic ticket.

of these boxes will increase as the
demand for them grows.
