MRS. FRED ?. Nash
DIED EARLY
TODAY
Prominent Woman of Grand
Forks succumbed After a
Short Illness

No sad news ever came as a greater
shock to the people of Grand Forks
then the announcement this morning
OF the death of Mrs. Fred p. Nash
who 60 Unexpectedly passed away at
her home on South Fifth street at
1880 o'clock this morning. A low
Ing and most devoted husband and six
beautiful little children, the youngest
being an infant only ten days old, are
driven almost to distraction by the
grief that has been SO suddenly
thrust upon them, and the entire city
nnourns with them in their hour Of
sorrow.
AS fall the twilight shadows on the
perfume ladened air under south
ern sky, with the soft music of birds
as the cadence. SO passed out the life
of this beautiful character. She fell
asleep as the shadows heightened and
when all was still she had passed to
the great unknown and the friends
and comrades who knew and loved
her so we'll will stand beside the new
made grave to mourn her loss. AS
she was in life, 50 was she in death.
Her work was finished and the noble
life which went out was filled full to
overlooking with the deeds of kindness
and love which she ministerei. A
queen she has been in her home and
q queen she will be in heaven.
The deceased has been i'll only ten
days and her condition did not become
serious until Sunday morning when
she took chill. Complications set in
and nothing that the skilled hand of
nurse or doctor could do could stay
the hand of death.
The deceased who was 80 years of
age came to this city fourteen years
ago from New York state, where she
was born as the bride of Fred P.
Nash, member of the Nash Brothers
wholesale firm of this city. Her
maiden name was Mabel Carol and
her parents who now reside at Pekin
N. T., will not be able to reach here
In time for the funeral. Their happy
home has been blessed with six chill
dren, four girls, Lois, Ruth, Mary and
Alice, and two boys, Carl and Robert,
One brother, Clayton Carl of this city
also survives. AS wife, mother
friend and neighbor she was most
exemplary woman and her sudden
departure from this life will cause
many tear. The bereaved family
have the deep sympathy of the entire
community.
The funeral will be held from the
residence, $40 South Fifth street al
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. Rev
Hayes of Chicago, formerly pastor Of
the Presbyterian church of this city
will arrive tomorrow morning to Of
f1ciate and the pail bearers will be

The sophomores and freshmen of
the university are at it again. 1t is
the same old time honored fight which
every freshman and every sophomore
of the institution may take a part in,
and it is one that is generally the main
topic Of conversation, and some times
this conversation, when INDUCED in
by members of the opposing factions,
becomes quite animated, spirit oftimes
being injected in the argument by u.s.
ing battering rams and other things.
However, regulations" are the prin-
cipal feature of the fight and II the
sophomores' had their way about 1t,
here are few things that the fresh

Now these restrictions were issued
last week and in attempting to carry

The freshmen. while outnumberins
the sophomores, have not been thor

to make It interesting for the other
classmen when things get rounded
out. Saturday evening the usual fresh
men bulletins were issued and sophie
mores found the task Of gathering
these papers very pleasant. 1t is said
that the bulletins were burned in the
room occupied by the freshmen class
president. Other developmnts are ex-

were punched at an enormously high
figure, though Miss Sturtevant and
Miss Hemsley won by margin that
was SO narrow you could hardly see
daylight between them and the next

pany. Grand Forks:
WHEAT: The possibilities Of a
war completely outweighed all other
consideration and as a result the mar
ket closed SAC higher than Saturday.
The principal support came from the
local crowd and timid shorts. The
statistics were exceedingly bearish.
The visible supply made another enor-
nous increase Of 4.357 900 bushels VS..
a decrease year ago Of 10000 bush
els. The total visible supply now be-
ing only trifle over 100000 bushels
smaller than a year ago. The north
west receipts we're again heavy with
no indication Of the much predicted
decrease being in evidence soon, as
over 100000 bushels are said to be
in transit to Minneapolis alone. While
stocks accumulate at the present rate
1t will be impossible, in our opinion.
to bring about any sustained advance
during the immediate future. OF
course war would change the entire
complexion. but such possibility is
entirely too remote to justify pur-
chases. The facts and figures are
against the bull side.
CORN: Strength in wheat and COW
ering supposed to be for the principal
shorts resulted in fair reaction. No
special feature to either trade of news.
Our Mr.. LeCount wired rom Column
bus, Ohio: Surprised to find corn in
such condition. Saw plenty Of corn
that will go fifty bushels and 1t is
nearly all dry" We favor taking
profits on all hard spots for the pres
ent.
OATS: Oats ruled firm and a frac-
ton higher. The cash market was
shade easier with the demand indiffer-
ent. No feature to the market. West
ern and northwestern markets getting
fair run of oats. Think all bulges
should be met with selling orders.
PROVISIONS: Provisions ruled
heavy. For the past two months the
trade has been able to ignore the hogs
on account of other bullish conditions
but from this time on the hogs will
be the indicator to provisions values,
and as the market is acting over
bought and shorts being gradually
eliminated we feel that rallies should
be met by selling orders until condi-
tions change very materially.

EXPERT ACCOUNTANT

Hampstead May Not be as Deep
in Hole as First Supposed
Had $1,000 Insurance
ANOTHER SENSATION
WAS SPRUNG TODAY
When Action is Commenced to
Set Aside Conveyance Of
Hempstead's Land
ANOTHER SENSATION
WAS SPRUNG TODAY

The work of checking up the, &C.
counts of the Farmers Elevator COM
pany at Emerald has been taken in
charge by an expert accountant rep
resenting the bond company In which
John Hampstead was bonded and 10
now progressing as rapidly as posi-
BILE. At the close Of this examination
of the elevator accounts it is be-
lieved that, an accurate estimate of
the shortages of the suicide treasurer
and bank cashier will be ascertained
but 1t Is stated that the amount will
be considerable less than that an
nounced from Emerald Saturday. Just
how large the amount will be is UNI
known, but 1t is thought that it will
be several thousand short Of the $10,-
900 at which the loss was first placed.
Whatever shortage Is found will fall
on the bond company:
The suicide carried q considerable
amount Of life insurance, there being
in the neighborhood Of $4,000. While
not definitely certain, it is claimed
that $4,000 of this insurance was TAX
en- out by Hampstead some seven
months ago, the policies containing
a six-months suicide clause, thus
putting this insurance in force Just a
month prior to the death of the cash
Ter. Ordinarily the insurance policies
contain a year suicide clause. In case
such insurance has been issued, 1t
would seem that Hampstead had been
planning committing the act for many
months.
Just what has become Of the money
used by Hampstead is not known. He
has been engaged in the automobile
business In q way, covering notes Sc
cured by the salesman in the sale of
machines. It Is thought that Hemp
stead may have failed to realize on
some Of the notes and that this caused
his downfall. The bank affairs are
in first class condition.
]. s. Hatcher, as special administra-
tor Of the estate of the late John
Hampstead Of sEmerado,. commenced.
an action in the district court of
Grand Forks this afternoon to set.
aside the conveyance of half section
of land near Emerald and quarter,
section Of land in Williams county to
Mrs. Edna Hempstead, alleging that
the transfer was made by the suicide
bank cashier for the purpose Of fraud.
It is claimed in the suit commenced
that the suicide took this course to
cheat the creditors Of his estate.
The transfer Of the land took place
Just a few days before the suicide
and is said to have been without any
cash consideration. The Northern
Trust company, the chief creditor as a
result of Hempstead's mortgages in
his elevator accounts Is responsible
~ the action started today. The wife
b well provided for by life insurance.

Mound Day, previously appointed
for October s. has been postponed
until one month later, the date on
which it will be held having been set
for Thursday, November 5, by State
Superintendent of Schools Thomas G,

Mr.. NGaer assigns as the reason for
changing the date that at the date
previously set many of the country
schools will rot have opened, and
moreover the earliness of the pre-
vious date does not give time to- get
out circulars to be used in connection
with the proper observance of the

adequate preparations for the day.
The object Of Mound Day is to take
steps to preserve the historic mound
