The feature in the Moorhead police

gamblers who claimed to have blown
into Moorhead from Duluth. that they
heard "de lid wuz off and der wuz
some easy plunks to be got" 1t cost
them $50 to find out that things were
different in Moorhead, besides $50
they had to disgorge.
The men gave their names as Iver
johnson and Chas Lingren. Their
coarse work reached Chief Malvey and
his men and their procedure was kept
tab of with the ultimate result that
they were stopped and marched off to
the lookup.
One man lost $50 by a skin game
put up by the pair told the chief all
about 1t and he was on hand this
morning and identified the gamblers
and established the loss of his money.
Justice Torson fined the tin-horns $25
each and ordered them to refund the
$50 which they flched by their pecu-
liar system. The money was paid and
Chief Malvey saw them leave the city
by a train which was conveniently
pulling out for the east. AS the men
departed they swore and said they
had all they wanted of Moorhead as
the police were too foxy for them.

songs broke loose. America and other
strains were sung with g,eat enthus-
iasm by the people In the galleries
and on the floor.
Joyous as was the demonstration
over the senate's action in passing the
bill it was realized tnat the battle was
still to be fought In the house. where.
alone, there has been doubt as to the
bills prospects.
The house remained in session in
order to receive the senate bill and
refer 1t to the committee on morals.
which will report it today.
Detectives, presumably Pinkerton
men, are swarming about the Denison

the brewery lobby, supposedly trying
to catch some brewery lobbyist doing
something that he ought not to do.
They are always on the ground when

the Terre -Haute Brewing Co, stops to
talk with some one. Then one of these
strangers brushes past and listens. II

$225,557.s2 Gain.

That the financial condition of Fargo
and North Dakota at large is the best
ever In the history Of the country is
fully demonstrated by the total clear

ponding week in 1907 the total clear
ings were $532.914.92, an increase of

the increase this year has passed all
their expectations of few months

FARGO MAY GET
A BIG FACTORY
PROBABLE THAT LARGE ICE
CREAM FACTORY AND CREAM
cry WILL BE LOCATED HERE+-
GOOD OPENING HERE SAYS
THz PROMOTER.

There is every reason to believe
that within a short time Fargo will
have one OF the largest Ice cream fac
tories and creameries In the north
west which will be a great addition
to the manufactures In the town.
G. r. Clay Of Renville, Mimi. was
in the city today conferring with Sec
retary Yoder of the commercial club
relative to locating large plant here
which VIII draw the greater part OF
the mix and cream from the territory
along the Milwaukee railroad In Min
nesota,
In an interview with The Forum on
the subject MIR. Clay said that he is
greatly pleased with the prospects
here. "What we propose to do Is to
put in about $4,000 or $4,000 Ice
cream factory and creamery, but OF
course il we have to put up our own
building the plant will cost much
more than that. have all the CAPT
tai secured now and do not come to
this city looking for bonus or from
assistance from the business men, but
am looking for a god location and
1 think that Fargo Is the placc.
"This city would be advantageous
because 1t coa-d raw large part
of the raw dairy product from Min.
nesota along the Milwaukee railfoaj
which has grown into a fine dairy dis.
trict. This pro,lucI can be sh.pped
to Fargo chea ,>r Il an 1t can - 20
Minneapolis and we could get all that
we need which would be in Fargo at
IL O'Clock the morning after 1t was
MIXED in the evening.
"The idea Of running a creamery in
connection with the ice cream factory
would be for the purpose of taking
care of the sour cream and from what
| can find out there is great need Of
such plant in this city.
''I intend to look the field over and
from present conditions Fargo has all
othe places skinned on location and
business"
The value OF another Ice cream
plant in the city cannot be over esti-
mated while the creamery proposition
would be blessing to the community,
Such an establishment would create
healthy competition in the cream bus
mess and might also assist greatly in
increasing the milk supply which is
alomst on the famine order Just at
present.
