GRAFT IN CONNECTION WITH
AGENTS FOR RREWERIEs AND
LIQUOR HOUSES.

Working in connection with a num-
ber of agents for brewery and whole
sale liquor houses, number of rail-
road station agents in North Dakota
have managed to practically boycott
other wholesale liquor houses from
doing business in the towns which
they represented The game was
worked as follows:
Certain breweries and whiskey men
doing business in North Dakota have
made tempting offers of commissions
to agents and are alleged to have
lately kept the agents supplied with
fictitious shipments, cases Of beer, etc.
When, ssy customer OF a Moorhead
house, would go to a certain station
and ask for his case or barrel of beer
he is alleged to have been Informed
that his stuff has not come, but here
is case OF beer you can take, It is
lust as good. To save time, and not
caring much he takes what Is offered
him, pays the money and away he
goes. In due course the Moorhead
house Is informed in the regular way
for and they are sent back to. Moor
head, which means bill of double
express or freight charges.
One or two Moorhead shippers a
week or two ago "smelled rat" and
started an inquiry and obtained the
CO. operation of the express companies.
1t became plain that the u. S. reve-
nue. laws were being fractured, also
the prohibition laws of North Dakota,
and the commission system OF the
agents had to be stopped. One lead
| ing house in Moorhead declined to pay
commissions because it knew it would
lead to trouble and they paid return
freight charges until they got tired.
A few days ago the railroad detectives
found a nice state of affairs on the
Hope branch of the Great Northern
and the agents trapped were surprised.
The commission paying houses had
laid beautiful plans, but the Jig is up.

HORSES SENSE OF DANGER.
Animal Carried Owner Against His
Will Away From Cloudburst.

That a horse has the instincts OF
impending danger was demonstrated
the other afternoon when an animal
belonging to M. D. Swisher, county
road overseer, refused to act on the
bit, ran up the mountainside and
saved its rider from death in cloud
burst.
Swisher was riding along Box Ca
non, narrow gulch, when the horse
turned from the road. and paying nc
attention to the rider ran up the
mountainside and stopped on ledge
twenty feet above. Swisher was mys.
titled until he saw water about eight
feet deep rushing down the canon
tearing up bushes and upendins
everything movable. The water was
from a cloudburst about half mile
further up the gulch, and the horse
had heard the noise of the rushing
water before the rider.
Half mile of the Box Canon road
leading to Florissant was washed out
and bridges carried away. Swishei
remained on the mountainside for ar
hour before he considered it safe t

tiict with poisons A ruby ring would,
therefore, have been very desirable
possession for any guest who died at
the table of the infamous Borgias,
since Caesar Borgia, it is related, had
little hesitation in dropping poison
into the wine goblets of his guests!
One of the most interesting "his-
toric" rubies is that which adorns the
centre of the diamond Maltese cross
in the imperial State crown of Eng
land. Originally the property of Don
Pedro, King of CASTLE, it was pre-
scented by him to Edward the Black
Prince, after the battle of MALARIA,
near Vittoria, A. D. 1867. Afterward
it was worn by Henry v. in his he'll
met on the occasion of the battle of
Agincourt, 1415, and no doubt the
brilliant victory was in no small de-
gree attributed to the glowing gem.

able, so we can estimate the worth of

we find they excel in value these

means a great improvement on the
old system of electric writing at dis

are passed through as fast as they are
written. One can actually speak and

Curious Old Legend.

According to curious old legend,
the ruby first became known to NOR
tails as the result of an act of kind
ness shown by poor woman to an
injured stork. Philostratus, one of
the old Greek writers, tells us that
this gem was originally placed by the
stork in the fabric of her nest as a
charm against serpents. and Aeolean,
in his eighth Book of Animals en-
larging upon this fancy. thus relates
the episode;
"A certain widow, Heraclea by
name, had tended young stork that,
having fallen out of the nest before
it was fully fedged, had broken its
leg. Thereupon the grateful bird,
upon returning from the annual mi
grafton of it's kind, dropped into her
lap as she sat at her door a precious
stone, which, on her awakening at
night, she found to her establishment
had lighted up her chamber like a
glowing torch. Upon examination
this stone proved to be a matchless
ruby"
There are in reality two kinds of
rubies; the true or Oriental ruby, and
the spinel ruby. The former is a
red variety of the precious corundum,
of great variety and value; while the
latter is an illuminate of magnesium.
BY ancient writer's still wider
range-under the common name of
the "carbunculus" of Pliny, or the
anthrax" ("glowing coal'') of Greek
writers-included also garnets and
other inferior stones of fiery color.
/ Rubies vary in color from pale
rose-red through deep cochineal to
red-purple, the latter being the most
valued tint, known as the pigeons
blood color.
Ceylon and parts of Tartary furnish
very good spineis; these exhibit the
color of crimson peoples, while the
Balass specimens resemble pale roses.
The true rubies are obtained from
the mines, the spinels usually from
the beds of torrents.
BY. some of the ancient writer's the
ruby was said to preserve from all
harm, and by others to glow and
deepen in color when danger APP

and lusterless when brought into con-
