DENIES ANeLE-BA!. STORY.
Great Northern Official Says They
Were Not Removed.

St Paul, Dec. 22.-Great Northern
officials strongly deny the rumors That
have gained some currency to the effect
that the wreck Of the Winnipeg Flyer
near Monticello Saturday night was
caused by some one removing the angle
bars from the rails at the point where
the wreck occurred
In speaking of the accident last even
ing an official said: There is abso-
lutely nothing in the story that the
angle bars were purposely removed
You cannot make the denial too strong.
The track has been cleared and trains
are running as usual, but the investi-
cation into the cause of the accident
has not been finished We know enough
now, however, to be absolutely certain
that there is nothing in the story of
the angle bars having been removed.
AT this time there is nothing new
to give out in the matter as the in
vestigation may take some time before
1t is finally completed"

local jewellers. There have not been
an unusually large number Of very
costly purchaes, nor will the total
former number show an increase over

Diamonds and watches have been
popular, and there mas been the usual
demand for less expensive articles.
One OF this years fads has been the

Another noticeable fact is the in
creased demand for platinum. espec-

KYLLO GETS one MONTH
Fargo Mans Case Disposed OF in the
District court-Defendant Prom
ises to Brace Up.

When Robert Kylo completes his
term of thirty days in the county
jail, imposed yesterday afternoon by
Judge Chas. A. Pollock, after a plea
OF guilty had been entered by the de-
PENDANT to the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, he is
going to brace up and stick to the
straight and narrow path. Kyllo might
have been charged with uttering
forged checks, but on account Of the
fact that the party whose name was
forged did not care. to prosecute. that
course was followed 1t is believed
that the sentence will act as a lesson
that will not soon be forgotten. Kyllo
once owned a valuable farm near
Harwood, later he was engaged in the
mercantile business at Harwood and
then moved to Fargo where he has
made his home since.

Declares That 9 Cents a Quart Charge
is Not Warranted.

New York, Dec. 22.--Nine cents a
quart the present retail price of milk
in Greater New York, is unwarranted
by conditions in the trade. This is the
decision Of a special committee Of the

commission, now in session here.
The church went at the matter from
an unbiased standpoint, for the benefit
of the poor.
