MAN WILL WREsTLE A BULL
cured for Ak-sar-Ben This
Fall.

A bull fight will be one of the attrac-
tions for Ak-Sar-Ben this fall, and it will
be given each afternoon and evening at
the carnival grounds. Charles Doc"
Breed, manager of concessions for the
carnival. was in New Haven. Conn. Fri
day to witness the performance and he
at once signed the attraction for the
Omaha festival. He wired that It was the
greatest act he had ever seen and that he
had lost no time in securing 1t for the big
show this fall.
A giant wrestler. calling himself Nero
mus, enters an arena with a large black
bull and they wrestle on fair grounds until
one or the other is exhausted. Following
is a clipping from a New Haven paper
which Mr.. Breen has sent:
Not in the history of this state has
such a scene of exciting, but in no wise
last evening at the White City between
Ne:omus, as he spells his name, the bull
fighter, and a great black bull. Five
thousand people watched the truggle
which was one Of colossal scientific strength
on the part Of the man as against the un-
measured force of the animal.
The man is certainly remarkable In his
physical development, his muscles standing
out like great hills. He made no attempt
TO bewilder the animal, but after a few
deXterous movements took II by the horns.
Then followed a remarkable scene. Around
the arena both struggled. Twice Neromus
had his antagonist on its knees. only "a
lose the advantage by a desperate j. X OF
its head by the bull. The contest waged
for forty-five minutes, when. finally, the
man conquered as with one terrific effort
he fairly turned the bull off its feet onto
It's back.

THIRTY YEARS At HARD LABOR
Limit on Both Cases IL Given to Ben
Marshall for Attempted
Assault.

Thirty years In the penitentiary at hard
labor was the aggregate sentence imposed
by Judge Sears on Ben Marshall. the negro
convicted twice in district court Of at
tempted criminal assault. Judge Sears
gave him the limit, fifteen years, on each
Of the two charges.
Marshall was first convicted OF trying
70 assault Miss Mollie Cram early in April.
Two weeks later he was convicted OF a
similar attempt upon Mrs. Anna Grabowski
in March. Both juries were out Just fiji
teen minutes.
Marshall protested his innocence, but
Judge Sears told him he believed he was
guilty OF many other offenses similar to
the ones he had been convicted of. He
called attention to the fact that Marshall.
eight years ago. served a jail sentence on
a similar charge.
II have no hopes of making an impress
sion on a man like YOU" said the court,
but / do hope this sentence will be a
warning to those of like mind and inclina-
ton. The court directed that Marshall be
kept in solitary confinement on the ami
versary of his crimes.
Frederick Bell, a negro, was sentenced to
a year and q half for burglary.

IT believe l voice the sentiments Of your

The Hill and Hartman lines from the
Pacific northwest raised the rate on lum-
Der to eastern points about one year ago
and a fight was at once precipitated. The
lumbermen on the north coast combined
to fight against the raise in rates and
gathered quite q fund for that purpose.
The railroads raised the rates about 10
cents 10 the Missouri river. To head off
this raise the lumbermen secured an in
junction ard gave bond. This forced the
railroads TO protect the old rates. Ship
meuts have been made on the old rate ex-
cept by shippers who were parties to the
injunction. Tie railroads are now In a pc.

cess on any shipment which was made at

Fifteen years ago he was resident

been a warm friend and admirer OF

Farmers of the state are being inter-
ested through the American Society
of Equity in a terminal elevator prop
osition, and there is a probability that
such a project may be financed in the
near future. The Tribune has taken
the ground from the time since the
first formation of the American So.
ciety of Equity that there was little
prospect of any organization or grow
ers controlling the supply of wheat or
regulating the price. At the same
time it has pointed out that organiza-
ton among farmers would be splen-
did thing for practical reforms in the
way of wheat grading, marketing and
selling, and that there was ample op-
portunity for such an organization
aside from any matter of seeking to
control the output of grain.

FiFTY-TWO PEOPLE JOINED LO-
CAL CIVIC PROVE M ENT
LEAGUE, WHICH WAS LAUNCH
ED AT ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

Fargo Forum: Between $50 and 200
people were present at the civic i'm
provement meeting held Monday night
under the auspices of the Commercial
club in their club rooms, and the mat
ter of identifying the city and gener-
ally improving civic conditions was
discussed by able speakers. A tenn
porary organization was formed with
an enrolment of So and with R. NJ
Pollock as temporary chairman, who
appointed a committee of five to con
struct bylaws and take the necessary
steps for permanent organization.
The meeting started with dinner,
at which nearly 200 covers were laid,
the tables completely filling the large
dining rooms and a considerable por-
ton of the parlor. It was undoubtedly
the most interesting meeting of it's
kind ever held in the city of Fargo,
and was composed of the most repre-
sentative people of the city.
The meeting opened with President
R. S. Lewis in the chair, and the first
speaker called upon was Mrs. Frances
e. Bolley, who gave much interesting
data relative to civic Improvement.
She touched upon many subjects that
would come under the jurisdiction of
| a civic improvement league and de-
| scribed what has been done in the
east and in the European countries.
| She said that in Germany civic i'm
provement was made by city ordinan-
ICES, but that in France much has been
accomplished by arousing public SEN
timent, and she thought that combi-
nation of the two would accomplish
the greatest amount of good in this
country
County Auditor A. G. Lewis, who is
also city park commissioner, gave
some very interesting data relative to
park work and the natural advantages
which are to be found in Fargo for
this work. He quoted from Frank H
Nutter, landscape architect and en-
| gineer, who was in the city some time
ago looking over conditions relative to
park work in this city. Mr.. Lewis
said that this would be an easy city
to improve, as only 5 per cent of the
homes of the city were owned by non.
residents and that fully two-thirds sol
