CANE RUSH SCRAP
UNNECESSARY RoUeHNEss AND
KIDNAPPING is ELIMINATED BY
RuLEs-ALL A. G. LOOKING.
FORWARD TO EVENT. WHICH
OCCURS THURSDAY.

Everybody at the North Dakota A.
G. is on the tip top of expectation con-
corning the cane rush which is now
assured. The freshmen accepted the
challenge of the sophomores this
morning and according to this ac-
ceptance the time set for the rush Is
2 .. m. tomorrow.
According to the rules drawn up by
a Joint committee the rush will be
held upon the Dakotah f1eld north of
the arn1ory A cane OF prescribed
length and thickness will be stuck
in the ground midway between the OPP
posing forces and the object will be to
carry the cane into the enemy's terri
tory. Thirty minutes will be allowed
and the position Of the cane at the
end of that time will determine the
victory.
The rules prohibit kicking, slug
.ging and malicious tearing Of clothes.
1t is also agreed that neither class
SHAH kidnap or conf1ne members Of
opposing force before the rush.
The sophomore challenge which APP
peared Thursday was on the plan Of
the proclamation issued at many insti-
tions against rival classes, and was
written in a manner most calculated
to arouse freshman animosity.
1t did just that, and the answer
which was Aired back after almost a
week of preparation was certainly
something fierce" If the two classes

The special committee appointed by

1t was the opinion OF the committee
that this Is Fargo's special opportunity
to make the biggest impression Of the
trip. This will be the first stopping
place of the party on their long trip
to the coast after leaving Chicago and
the impression that Fargo will be able
to leave will undoubtedly stay with
them longer than any other. T.

Wednesday, yesterday and today.
An unknown man was stricken with an
attack of heart failure near Barn A., yes

time aroused considerable excitement.
Service to and from the fair grounds was
facilitated this year by several automobiles

A dead horse was found near the back

Frank Whalon Gets Heavy Sentence
Case of John Clarity.

Frank Whalon of Burlington, charged
with a breach of the peace and resisting an
officer on the Valley fair grounds yester-
day pleaded guilty and was sentenced by
Judge E. w. Gibson in municipal court
last evening to so days at hard labor in the
county Jail and will be taken there today.
Whalon climbed the fence at the fair
grounds yesterday and Special Officer
Geo. Morrill, attempted to take him into
custody with the assistance of Special Of
fcer John P. Johnson. Officer Morrill,
used his club on Whalon and the two Of
ficers had a tussle to arrest the man.
Grand Juror R. c. Bacon appeared for the
state and recommended that a fine of $40
and costs be imposed. Judge Gibson was
inclined to the belief that the offense war
ranted heavier fine and asked the re-
costs. Whalon said that he did not want
to ask his folks in Burlington to pay such
heavy fine for him and asked that he be
given Jail sentence. Judge Gibson was
inclined to be lenient in the matter of
such a sentence and did not give the man
the alternative sentence of 225 days at hard
labor but imposed the fine stated above.
Whalon claimed that he came from Leb-
anon, N. H., to Hinsdale, N. H., and Wis

FRED KENT SENT
BACK TO ASYLUM
Man Indicted For Murder of His Father
Returned to State Institution at
Waterbury Yesterday-Not
to Be Tried.

Fred Kent, indicted in Windham county
court for the murder of his father, George
Kent. on the evening of July 8, will not
be tried at this term of court and it is not
probable that he will ever be brought to
trial on the charge of murder as he was
taken by, DR.. Don d. Grout, superintend-
ent of the state hospital for the insane,
from Newfane Jail to Waterbury yester-
day. Kent left the Waterbury institution
in 1905 and was taken back as an escaped
inmate and for observation as to his san

terbury. together with his arrest for an
alleged break committed at West Towns
bend last month and the damaging admis-
sions made by him to fellow prisoner
have been told in The Reformer.
Attorney General J. G. Sargent of Lud
low accompanied States Attorney Charles
H. Williams. of Bellows Falls to Newfane
Wednesday evening and after consulta-
ton with Judge A. A. Hall and R. c. Ba-
con. counsel for Kent, DR.. Grout was
communicated with and came down yes
terdav to take Kent back to the state hos
pital
Kent came to Brattleboro on the West
river train yesterday morning heavily
ironed and in charge of DR.. Circuit. To be
sure that the lunatic did not escape he
was chained to a seat in the mems waiting
spread among arriving visitors to the Val
lev fair that the indicted murderer was in
the waiting room the crowd got excited
and crowded about DR.. Grout and his
prisoner.
Kent was apparently unconcerned and
interested himself by watching the crowd.
He displayed no outward indication that
he was the center Of interest, and grinned
and chewed gum.
While all sorts of rumors have been cir
culated in regard to Fred Kent's connec-
ton with the death of his father, it is
known that he made confidant of a pris-
oner who proved to be stool-pigeon. The
belief is general in Townshend that if Fred
Kent was connected with the death of his
father lie was not alone in the matter
States Attorney Williams stated We'd
nesday evening that he could not see any
reason to put the state to an expense In
trying lunatic for murder. While he
would not say just what further action the
state would take in the Kent matter it is
believed that the admission made by Fred
Kent to one of the prisoners confined with
him in Jail was such as to arouse the sus-
picions of the states attorney that others
were connected With the elder Kent's
DEATH
1t is known that Fred Kent stated short
" after his arrest at Westminster West
that his father came home from work the
evening of July g. This statement was in
fiat contradiction 10 what Kent's mother
has told about the disappearance of her
husband. She told the officers at the time
of the finding of her husbands body that
he never returned from his days work.
There seems to be streak of brutality
or insanity in most of the Kent children.

PICKPOCKETS
PinkertOn Men Spotted
Them Yesterday.
ONE PUT UP A FIGHT
And Detective Was Obliged to Draw His
Gun to Show His NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Tried to Escape But Was Captured by
Deputy Sheriff Thompson.

Four professional pickpockets were
rounded up on the Valley fair grounds yes
terday afternoon by Pinkerton Detectives
Morris Glatt and John Murphy of New
York city assisted by Chief et Of P z 6
Thompson of Bellows Falls with Arthur
Brasor and Ralph Allen as volunteer soft
shoe men. The men gave their names and
residences as John Cassidy, 900 Main street,
Rochester n. Y, James Bailey, Is Spruce
street, Palmer, Mass William Thompson,
Mott street, New York city, and William
Lee, 26 Vine street, Cincinnati, o. Evil
IDENTIFY they had just made their appear
ance on the grounds when they were
spotted by Detective Gatt, % year-old
member of the New York Office of the
Pinkertons. Glatt Immediately recognized
the men as professionals and signaled to
his partner, Detective Murphy. Each de
tective proceeded to grab couple of the
crooks, Glatt mailing Bailey directly in the
rear of the grandstand near the dining
room and attempted to grab Baley's part
ner Thompson, alias Sleepy John. 1t is
alleged that John Clarity of Brattleboro
attempted to interfere with the detective
and Glatt lost Thompson, who put up a
scrap and started to run.
Deputy Sheriff D. p. Thompson was
nearby as was Chief of Police Wilson, and
the two came to the assistance of Glatt,
man in the fast gathering crowd. Deputy
Sheriff Thompson sprinted for the crook
who started to run. and caught him while
Chief Wilson came to the assistance OF
Detective Murphy. Allen and Brasor gave
aid by keeping track of the man who tried
to escape Detective Glatt was obliged to
draw a revolver to convince Bailey that it
would be dangerous to attempt to run
Realizing that they were captured the
crooks offered no further resistance and |
were taken in a carriage to the police sta
ton BY the detectives, Chief Wilson and |
Deputy Sheriff Thompson. When the
quartet were searched one was found to
have 50 and each of the other three had Il
small amount of change. One of the pick
pockets had cap in his pocket which De
tective Glatt explained was used by such
crooks when attempting to make an es-
cape He said they would throw away
their hat and put on cap to hinder their
identification.
1t was shortly before 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon when Detective Glatt caught
sight of the quartet and as he had the
