Holders of gravel road bonds. who
have been in state of anxiety over the
decision of Judge Jordan of the In
diana supreme court, have been ad-
vised by attorneys in a numbr Of in
stances to hold their bonds for the
present at least. Judge Jordan de-
clared the gravel road law invalid and
the holders of bonds for the construc-
ton Of Improvements under the terms
of this law. were somewhat alarmed as
to whether the bonds would be de-
clared worthless. Several bond hold
ers were willing, week ago. to sell
them much below par. but confidence

CONTRACTORS ARE
HAVING TROUBLE
WORK ON MANDAN EXTENSION
is HANDICAPPED ON Ac-
COUNT or FROST.

Mandan. n. D., oct 27.-The rail-
road contractors who are engaged i'm
grading work on the two extensions Of
the Northern Pacific out of Mandan
are beginning to experience consider
able labor troubles as a result of the
arrival of frosty weather. At the first
appearance of the colder weather a
goodly number Of the men who have
been working during the warm sum-
meT months decided to leave for other
parts and the result has been to ham
dicap the work considerably.
To Offset the large number OF de-
partures that have been recorded In
the construction camps, carload after
carload of men have been shipped In.
but not enough of them have been Sc
sured to balance up.
The contractors have work ahead Of
them that will keep them busy till late
in December or early in January &c
they can secure enough men. The COM
pany is determined to push the work
Just as rapidly as possible and is in
sisting that the various contractors
live up TO their agreement and finish
their portion Of the labor on schedule
time.

WHALEN CASE IS
NOW WITH JURY
ACTION AGAINST THE GREAT
NORTHERN FINISHED AT II A..
M.-cAsE or GRANT VS.. N. p. IS.
OCCUPYING THE ATTENTION OF
THE COURT.

1t was expected that one OF the GRIM
inal cases would be moved for trial in
the district court, this morning, but
the case OF Whalen VS. the Great
Northern, begun yesterday, did not
reach the jury until about IL o'clock
this morning after very forcefuI and
impassionate argument by Attorney
Houpt for the plaintiff
The next case called was No. IS,
Eugene D. Grant VS.. the Northern Pa
ciic Railway Co, and that will prob
ably consume the remainder OF the day.
When asked today the attorneys for
the defense could not say when they
would be ready to make arguments in
support Of the motion they have given
notice of, to apply for a change of
venue in the Kethman case. Papers
are in course of preparation as well as
exhibits and probably the date for the
arguments will be set in a day or two.
A prominent attorney today said
that 1t was a rarity in Minnesota for
a change of venue to be granted in
murder trials and cited the fact that
the laws provided for a liberal number
of challenges. In first degree murder
cases the defense is allowed twenty
peremptory challenges in addition to
those for cause and the state has ten
peremptory challenges.

That Duck Pass Again.

The Ten Mile lake duck pass case is
again in court. A sort of partial In
junction was granted a year or two
ago whereby parties were prohibited
from shooting from the pass in such a
manner that shot would fall on the
land of Anthony Prohosky there
Prohosky now claims that hunters
have been violating the provisions of
the injunction, and that shot falls on
his land, and asks that permanent
injunction be issued restraining part
les from shooting on the pass entirely.
Arguments in the case were made be-
fore Judge Taylor yesterday afternoon
and he has taken the matter under ad-
visement. The Ten Mile lake duck
pass has occasioned great deal Of
litigation in the past few years and
matters do not seem to be entirely
settled yet.

CAPT. HOLMES or LAKE
FRElGHTER is MISSING.

ogdensburg. N. T., Oct. 27.--Capt.
Lewis Holmes OF Milwaukee, COM
mander and part owner Of the lake
freignter Omaha, which arrived here
yesterday with cargo of corn from
Chicago, has disappeared and the po-
lice Of the large lake cities have been
asked to look for him.
His first mate, G. G. Smith, reported
to the authorities here that Captain
Holmes behavior had been erratic for
some time, owing perhaps to worry
over the loss Of two men overheard
from another boat, the Della Shores,
last April. When the vessel came in
to port here Smith had displaced the
captain in command Holmes told him
to take the boat back to Milwaukee,
and himself stepped ashore with no
word as to what he expected To do.
