Senators Name Suggested--Sat-
0rday the Fargo Forum contained
the following:
Jamestown, N. D., Nov. 16.-The
friends of ex-senator Casey of this
city are endeavoring to induce the
senator to enter the race again for
the position now held by Senator
Hansbrough. Since his defeat many
years ago for reelection, Mr.. Casey
has not been an active factor in
North Dakota politics. He has not
been prominently identified with
either of the factional wings Of the
party and would not have the antag-
onisms of any of the candidates now
in the field. 1t is claimed he would
be more acceptable to the insurgents
than either Hansbrough or Little
and less offensive to the stalwarts
than Marshall or Johnson. 1t is not
understood what decision Mr.. Casey
has reached: but it is expected that
he will make an announcement In
few days of his position.

SUBSTANTIAL SYMPATHY
Offered For Flremen Killed In
Fargo's Big
Fire.

Fargo, N. D. Nov, 19.-The burn
ing of the j. 1. Case tIireshing ma
chine warehouse has caused loss Of
$500. 900 worth of property and the
death, by being crushed, by a falling
wall of the two 6remen William M.
White and Geo. W. Hartman, has
cast gloom over the city. 1t was
the frs. fatality in the department..
Great sympathy is expressed --for the
family of fireman Hartman and the
city council.unable to LEGALLY appro-
pirate any funds for the relief of the
family, authorized the Mayor to ap-
point a committee to solicit contri-
buttons for the widow and the three
children. WIN. White vas unmarried
but was engaged to be married to
a young lady of O1tonville. He was a
widower In fairly good circum-
stances.
The fire is believed to have :origin-
ated in the engine room in the rear
of the building. The cause is un-
known. The alarm was turned in at
l:2O a. no. How long the fire had
been smonldering and getting start
before that tiGe is not known. The
fire department. responded with COM
mendable promptness and arrived
quickly in spite Of having to 60 by
way Of first avenue north on account
of the paving operations on N. p.
avenue. Five streams were turned on
the building at once and the engine
was quickly conveyed to the scene.
1t was thought for time it would
be possible to eget the flames under
control in spite of the smoke and
apparently the worst was over; the
flames rushed up the elevator shaft
but we're subdued and the fire in the
basement was smothered. but appar-
emily the fire found a false elevator
shaft TO the second floor :.and caught
in some twine which. burned like tin
der and soon the second andsthird
floors were mass of flames. The
Moorhead depa1tment.w was called and
assisted materially in preventing the
spread of the flames to other build
ings. Insurance is supposed to be
$50, 200. on building and 100000 on
contents.

Brinsmade Star: One Of the most
dastardly tricks that has ever come
within our hearing. was perpetrated
upon one of S. P. Sausgaard's tsho1ses
one day last week. The deed was
that of pulling out the tongue of one
of his horses by the root, a halter
having been used for that purpose.
The crime is claimed to have been
done while Mr.. Sauspaard was in
Leeds. Who the inhuman monster
is that could treat dumb animal
in tnat manner is unknown, but We
understand the case will be investi-
gated and if the person or persons
who committed the deed are discov-
cred, the law will be invoked to the
full extent The animal was in
such condition that 1t was unfit to
live and has been shot.

Surveyors at Work-The Edgeley
Mail says: The surveyors went to
work last Friday on making tile final
survey and alignment for the Mid
land Continental railroad and are
nov working. A committe consist
ing of August Brodtkorb and Attor-
ney Geo. P. Jones went out Monday
morning to see where the road will
run and make. terms, when possible,
with the land owners. AS now pro-
jected the road will run due north
on the. half section line one-half mile
wesj of Edgeley and will thus pass
thru the land of many non-residents.
This fact will be "a great assistance
to Edgeley in securing the right-of-
way as non-residents thoroly appre-
ciate the value of a railroad and
know it will raise Il price of their
land.
The road as now projected will run
straight north on the half section
line of Section No. "a Immediately
nortn of S, ction No. 3, the one
Edgeley is located upon, and will
then bear off in a northw esterly d.
rection thru sections q, q and II,
until 1t reaches he center of section
16 and will then continue straight
north on the half section line as near
as possible TO the county line, leav.
ing Diesem about two and half
miles to the west and crossing Bone
Hill Creek about mile and half
mile east of Floyd. After leaving this
county it will bear a little to the
west-a mile or so-and then turn in
east to jamestown.
The route is good one as it is
equidistant from the Gackle and
James River Valley division of the
Northern Pacific and is almost an air
line. The town will likely be built
near where the road crosses Bone
Hill Creek, with "a siding between
Edgeley and the new town. AS FLOYD
has no railroad it is not reasonable
to suppose that that town may
eventually move over onto the Mid
land,

Should Senator Casey decide to be-
come a candidate, his many friends
in the James River valley and thru
the entire state would be greatly
pleased. The senator was not at
home Monday and could not be seen
regarding the matter. His long resi-
dence in the state, his experience
and qualifications are we'll known
and should he consent to enter the
field he would at once become a
prominent factor in the contest and
a candidate on which all factions OF
the party could unite.

STIRRED UP ANIMALS
Special Counsel Mcharg and
His Work In lew
Mexico.

According to Washington dis
patches the district attorney and his
assistant of New Mexico are inter-
viewing the department Of justice
Officials and the former is much ex-
ercised1over the charges that have
been made against him in connection
with the affairs of the territory, and
which are said to have originated
from the activities of special agents
and ..attorEeys Gordon and Urmsby
McHarg who represent the depart
ment and from whose work indict-
ments against certain prominent
men who operate in the territory but
live in New York, have been found.
The New Mexico officials are said to
be personal friends of the president
and we're former rough riders and
have the confidence OF the president.
The charges against the district at
torney do not reflect on bis personal
integrity and the dispatch says he
will no doubt be exon rated, but the
official has not worked in harmony
with the special counsel of the gov
ernment and does not speak to them.
The situation is one in which the
president is Obliged to choose be-
tween the present district attorney,
his personal friend and old comrade
in arms, and the subordinates OF the
attorney general. His decision may
be expected very shortly. Mr.. Nc
Harg is now in Washington and it is
doubtful whether he will return to
the territory.
