ROBBERS MISSED $1,000

Friends of Owen Young of this city,
that that gentleman recently enjoyed
all the thrills of real old-time west
ern holdup, where masks, black as
night, and guns big as the "yeggs,"
doomed up like mountains beside
mole hill The best part of it was that
Mr. Young avoided payment of toll as
the bad men overlooked him entirely
and he came out of the adventure over
$1,000 to the good
Mr.. Young has been sojourning In
Southern Navada for some time near
Rhyolite. The first of the week, he
together with several brothers, left
Rhyolite in an automobile for the
Goldfield. The party arrived in Cold
field after seventy-ive mile trip,
about 2:3O in the morning, but despite
the lateness Of the hour the streets
were filled with people. The Grand
Forks man was the last OF the auto
party to enter the hotel and was just
preparing to join his companions At
the desk when two men sided into the
room.
The first of the yeggemen had his
face patched up so that his mother
wouldn't know him, while the other
grinned out from behind a ferocious
looking mask. The artillery was car
ried by this rear-guardsman and ac-
cording to advices from Mr.. Young the
guns were anywhere from two feet to
a yard in length.

was seized with At and fell to the
tracks. The Cambridge express came
whfrling along at the same time and
the Earl's body was decapitated and
mangled almost beyond recognition.
The present Earl owes his title to
tragedy. The third Earl, who died
In 1898, was without male issue, his
two sons having died within short
distance of time from one another.
The death Of the eldest son was singu-
larly tragical. He was travelling with
his father In the Mediterranean, and
mysteriously disappeared from on
board the ship somewhere between
Gibraltar and Malta, the presumption
being that he must have lost his bal
ance and fallen into the sea, no one
being with him at the time of his dis
appearance.

OPERA WAS A 5000 ONE

The Roscian Opera company pres
ented Martha" at. the Met last even
ing in way that gave satisfaction to
every theatre goer in attendance. The
company sang Martha we'll and It is
needless to say that Grand Forkers
will have good word for the play.
The work of the individual members
was excellent. Miss Lucia Nola, the
leading lady, deserving special mem
ton. She has a beautiful voice pure
and sweet and "The Last Rose of
Summer" especially was sung with
feeling and the requisite amount of
depth and tone. Her acting as whole
was of an order to place her amongst
the foremost on the stage. F. w. WAL
tiers the tenor also deserves special
mention. His voice is strong we'll ton
ed and satisfying. Other members Of
the company fitted in we'll and the
work was consistent and fOrceful.
1t may be interesting to note at this
point that Robert ]. Ward, the genial
manager of the company was manager
of the same show at the production of
Martha at the opening of the Grand
Forks theatre sixteen years ago. He
is one of the best known theatrical
men in the business.

NARROWED ENR0U7E

POINTS
! Visitor in City Says He Has
Spent Two Weeks in Car
With Pigs, Etc.
WAS GOING TO KENMARE
But Will Return to "Dear Old
Missouri" if Roads Don't
Open Soon.
WAS GOING TO KENMARE

A. j. Astleman, a former resident OF
Aurora, Missouri, is spending the day
in this city preparatory to taking an
excursion to interior points of the
state. Mr.. Astleman has tale of woe
which If taken word for word would
about fill half a dozen monograph
records.
The weary traveller has been in
transit with d car of stock from Au-
rora to Kenmare, N. D., for nearly
three weeks and during most of that
time has been forced to use a stable
car for an abode, a crate of chickens
for his downey pillow and a few wisps
of hay for bed clothing.
Mr.. Astleman says he is not alone
in the misery for in the stock yard
at the Minnesota transfer in st. Paul,
where he has. been marooned, there
are about dozen American farmers
who have been sleeping in the same
room with their grunting pigs. He
says sleeping in a box car is not so
bad with a red hot coal stove near
by, but If there are score Of cack-
ling chickens boxed and Grated near
the stove; If there are four or five
paving horses stabbed at the other
end Of the car and if the doors of the
windowless apartment are tightly
closed, a person might, without much
of a call upon the Imagination, de-
scribe the scene.
Mr.. Astleman's Position.
AS stated above, the gentleman left
Aurora, Mo-, three weeks ago and, had
weather conditions remained normal,
would have gone west long ago over
the 500 road. The snow blockade
made necessary an indefinite halt at
Minneapolis for the road would not
think of taking out car of live stock
when the train might be stalled in a
snow drift and be staked out on the
prairie for several weeks. Better
the yards in Minneapolis" is what the
trainmen told me at headquarters In
Minneapolis" said the speaker to the
Evening Times representative.
Mr.. Astleman further stated that ne
has been working on odd jobs, such
as hauling ice and merchandise, n
order to keep the horses in exercise
and at the same time to make running
expenses, for the price of feed is very
high.
The weary traveller is now on his
way to Granville, N. D., where a
cousin resides. He has left his cattle
and merchandise in care of another
of the colony of blockade sufferers,
glad to avail himself of an opportunl-
ty to get away from the tiresome UNI
dulations of the uncertain composites
of speckled and cramped feathers
which stare out from between the
cracks of the many stored hennouses,

Hermit Kingdom" During the latter
part of the war with Spain Admiral
Mead commanded the Machias. Sub
sequent to reaching the grade of cap-
tain in 1899 he commanded the Phila-
delphia and subsequently served as a
member of the board of inspection and
as commandant of the naval training
station at Newport. In 1904 he was
assigned to the command of the navy
yard at Portsmouth, N. H.
Admiral Mead is the second on the
list of eleven rear admirals who are
to be retired during the year 1907 for
age. The next one whose name will
be removed from the active list is
Rear Admiral Joseph E. Craig, COM
mandant of the League Island navy
yard. The date of Admiral Craig's
retirement is February "a.

EXTENSION OF FIRST ST.
Riverside Residents will BE Benefited
by Extending First Street to
L'Hiver Avenue.

At the next council meeting the
question of extending First street IN
Riverside park across block forty-four
to L'Hiver will come up for settle
ment. Block forty-four is small lr-
regular strip lying between Skidmors
and L'Hiver avenues and has always
acted as a barrier to traffic as teams
and pedestrians are forced to take a
roundabout journey. John Lynch's
ice house now stands on the property
but this building is to be removed In
the near future.
The extension of First street will
cross about 6 lots in block forty-roul
but of these the city already has title
to three. The improvement will be con-
siderable of an accommodation to the
residents of Riverside park.

Bristol, Va, Feb. S.-The city au-
thorities have taken precautions to
prevent any disturbance arising from
the presentation of Thomas Dixon's
"The Clansman," which is booked for
the Harmeling theatre tonight. The
negroes vigorously opposed the bring
ing of the play to this city and petit
toned the city council to bar the per-

cided to permit the performance, at
the same time cautioning both races
against starting any trouble. While
considerable race feeling has been
aroused over the matter no serious
trouble is anticipated.
