Dogs Wonderful Devotion.

The devotion of a Newfoundland
dog was pathetic. His master had
gone out in boat which had over.
turned and had been drowned. A
rescuing party arrived on the scene
Just too late and took the body to
the other side of the lake, a mile
afay.
The dog arrived at the edge of the
water just in time to see the body
Of his master lifted out. Plunging in,
he swan across the lake. The poor
animal licked the hands and face and
when he saw that his caresses were
in vain he seated himself at his mas.
ter's feet and refused to move. He
followed the hearse to the burying
ground and seated himself discon.
solately at the side of the grave
until the services were over. Then
every day he made a trip to the little
cemetery and lay with his head be.
tween his paws beside the grave.
A few weeks went by and the dog
began to pine. He refused to eat his
food and his visits to the grave be-
came more frequent. And then one
night when the wind was bowling he
started out alone. A few days later
they found his body on the shore and
buried him beside his master.

PASSENGER TRAINS
ARE RUNNING
AGAIN
Te-Up of Last Three Days
Was Relieved This Morning
on Great Northern,
HANNAH AND WALHALLA
Branch Line Trains Arrived
Here and Regular Service
is in Force.

The train service, which for three
days has been completely demoralized
on account of heavy SHOWS is slowly
resuming a normal condition. The
Hannah and Walhalla lines OF the
Great Northern, which have been COM
pletely blocked were re-opened this
morning. The train which went up
the Hannah line two days ago arrived
in the city shortly before noon. 1t
had been stalled at Orr on account of
deep snow. The train from Walhalla
arrived about an hour late today.
Snow plows are working out in all
directions. The mild weather Of today,
following the intense cold OF last night
has done much to relieve the situation.
The 500 line, extending across the
northern portion of North Dakota is
said to be completely tied up. The
company has been able to get only two
or three trains a week through there
during the winter, and since the snow
of this week, have not been able 10
get any trains through.

TO make RECOMMENDATION
Governor Elect John Burke Has Some.
thing to Say Relative to UnifOr.
nifty Of Assessments.

Among the many things that Cover
nor-Elect Burke is expected to re-
commend to the legislature at the
session this month, is the passage of
bill looking forward to fixing uni
form rate of taxation in all parts of
the state.
This movement was started by the
president of the Commercial clubs of
North Dakota, George H. Wallace. He
wrote a letter to all the clubs in the
state asking them to use their power
in effecting the passage Of bill which
would result in the assessment of all
property at its full value.
Recently at a special meeting of the
County Auditors association it was
decided to recommend to the legisla-
ture that a new county Office be es-
tablished, that of county assessor. The
establishment of this office, the audi
tors believe, would result in some
change in the assessments, it being
thought that the county could be more
uniformly assessed.
Should Governor Burke make any
recommendations it will very proba-
bly, be along the line suggested by
Mr.. Wallace of WahpetOn.

$4,000, and work will be started as
soon as possible.

INSTALLATION IS POSTPONED
On Account OF Failure Of Trains to
Arrive. Rev. Matthews Was Not
Installed as Pastor.

Failure in the arrival of trains from
the north and west caused disap-
pointment to those in attendance at
the Presbyterian church last night
and to Rev. Mr.. Matthews. No quorum
of the Presbytery could be secured
and therefore the installation eXer-
cises had to be postponed to Jan. 16
when the Presbytery will be convened.
Rev. Charles r. Adams and DR.. Christy
Brown Of Fargo were present and
Rev. Cunningham of Emerald, and an
informal service was held and a very
eloquent discourse given by Rev.
Adams on the theme "a Positive
Christianity" He presented his ideas
on the subject in a scholarly and
impressive manner and gave his hear
ers much food for thought He said
that the distinguishing thing in
Christ's philosophy as compared with
confucianism, agnoticism, materialism
and all ethical teaching, was that they
teach Il negative morality and say

ON SUBJECT OF RELIABILITY
4 New Game Discovered, That Called
"TTunting for Motes"-A
Great Success.

The Evening Times dislikes con-
slant INVITING of each other by news
papers on account Of errors that may
occur, and particularly in view of the
fact that newspapers have so many
more opportunities for the making of
mistakes than falls to individuals or
firms, but in view of the position
which the Herald of this city has
chosen to take in the matter OF the
discrediting of news published in the
columns of other Papers, and because
the reportorial staff Of that paper
never loses an opportunity to give
publicity to mistakes which its con-
Temperatures make, The Evening Times
takes occasion to call attention to the
fact that-well, there are others. 1t
would seem that when the Herald
sends NJ. J. Liverman to Winnipeg,
one day, J. D. Bacon to Bismarck the
next, when the former never even con-
templated such a trip and the latter

WILL LEAVE IT FOR M'CUE
Not Thought That Attorney General
Frick Will Start Action Against
Grand Forks County.

1t is not believed that Attorney Gem
eral c. n. Frick will start an action
against Grand Forks county for the
recovery of money claimed by the
state for fines collected by the county.
Attorney Prick made demand on the
county several days ago for the
money. This money has been col
lected by the county during the last
eight years. Attorney Wineman of
Grand Forks county contends that the
costs in each case where fine is COL
iected should go to the county, the
remainder to be turned over to the
state. The law provides that the gross
fines shall be turned over, but it is
claimed that this provision is uncon-
stitutional. The supreme court will
no doubt have to make decision in
tho matter soon.

East Grand Forks saloon. When he
became sober, Wood denied having

Instituted before Justice Purcell OF
this city to recover the amount.
Judgment was rendered against

having any funds subject to the call

could be recovered in that way. The

the account of this in the Sun temple

an inscription Of Al lines, each about

OUTCOME NOT A SURPRISE
Grand Forks People Expected to See
Cans Win and Think He Could
Have Won Earlier in Fight.

The outcome of the Gans-Herman
fight was no surprise to the fight fans
in Grand Forks.
1t was generally looked upon as
move on the part of Cans to pick up
little easy money. Herman has
never won a big battle in his life,
and he is a second-rater among the
lightweights. He was out-classed in
experience, weight, strength, ring tao
tics and cleverness, and the negro
won even more easily than was gen
orally expected.
From the reports it looks as if
Cans allowed the fight to go farther
than it might have gone if he had ex-
erted himself, and he probably coulL
have put Herman olt sooner than he
did.
The usual aftermath of challenges
is now apparent. Purses are offered

days because of his insanity, will be
retained a couple ct days longer by

senses that he can be discharged.
When he was first confined to the Jail
he was laboring under the hallicuna-
ton that every one with whom he
came in contact was trying to poison
him, and for this reason refused food
for some time, and it was only by the
most diplomatic methods that the
sheriff induced him to partake of suf-
ficient sustenance to keep him alive.
He has gotten over his trouble, how
ever, and now eats heartily and while
he is still mentally unbalanced, he is
much beater than when he was taken
in charge.
