ASSAULT VICTIM
GEO. TUCKER, sTRlKE-BREAKER
GUARD, HIT TERRIFIC SMASH
OVER HEAD WHICH "PuT HIM
TO SLEEPING CLUE TO HIS
AssAiLANTs.

One OF the guards in the Northern
Pacific yards in Moorhead, George
Tucker. was badly assaulted near
the passenger depot about IL O'Clock
last night. Tucker was sitting in the
depot and noticed three men sluIking
about went out to see what was doing.
He had not got mucn more than out
side the building when he was struck
a terrific blow on the back OF his
head, putting him to sleep. The mans
assailants also hit the man in the
mouth and on the nose. The injured
man has not the remotest idea who
committed the assault Tucker was
found PROSTATE on the platform and
when the nature of the trouble was
seen he was taken to the office OF DR..
Awty, where he was given attention
and where he remained all night.
The affair has aroused a great deal
Of Indignation in all circles and from
a little clue which came to the sur
face this afternoon from most un-
expected source 1t is believed that ar
rests will be made very shortly. Last
night there were sensational reports
that a 'scab'' had been murdered and
the rapid assembling OF officials of the
Switchmen's union gave some color
to the runiors which were afloat.
Tucker was taken to division head
quarters at Dilworth this afternoon.
He is not seriously ilurt.

t1ow snakss Get Over GROUND.

Although the snake appears to have
no legs or feet, it may be said to %,
practically supplied with upward of
hundred pairs of them. In fact. each
joint OF the backbone bears pair OF
ribs, which are mobile and have their
points attached to the inner surface OF
one OF the large transverse. platellke
scales which clothe the mdersurface
Of the body. Thus by the movements
of the ribs attached to 1t each plate
can be drawn forward and its margin

siye application of these muItitudinous
plates the body can be drawn forward
in a straight line without it's being
thrown into unduIations from side to
side. But rapid movements are also eff
fected by such undulations. and SER

muscular action climb trees and some

asily by lateral hexures. but no SER

IN OMAHA PAPER.

The following regarding the n. D.
exhIblt at the Omaha Corn exposition
is from The Omaha Morning World
Herald:
''This is the most attractive and
complete display on exhibition" Is a
common remark heard when visitors
reach the North Dakota booth. Heavy
columns of glass. marbled with grain.
mark the borders and give the first
impression Of North DakOta's great
resources. These columns, together
with an electric sign, portray to the
visitor the name OF the booth
Most OF the natural resources Of the
state are displayed In an attractive
way. The pottery and brick clays
nav be seen in their natural condi-
lions. A fireplace made OF the brick
and burning ignite coal gives a
home-lilxe appearance to the booth. 1t
was this appearance which caused
President HiIl OF the Great Northern
to remark as his party were seated
in the booth: "Wen, we are back
home again"
On the manteIpiece may be seen
plates of North Dakota grown apples
They form the most attractive feature
of the booth, If not the whole EXPOSE
ton. The display was made by w.
A. Lilly OF Hanlxinson, and is the prod
uct OF trees sold by him since start
ing his nursery In that city.
After viewing the apples and corn,
ones impression OF the state gained
by reading the newspapers seems sad
ly out of place. The conception is
about the same asthat received OF
some thriving western city when Wis
ftfng the bIood-curdIing melodramR,
the scene, of which is laid in the west
when handwriting was the principal
sport. The corn is not as large as
the sweepstakes corn displayed in the
neighboring booth, but is weIl-matured
and Of fair size. The magnificent app
pearance of fits successful rival only
emphasizes the fact that North Da-
kota can produce corn. The perfec-
ton of the samples displayed compare
favorably with any corn in the show.
The display of grains and grasses is
complete and comprehensive. The
threshed grain and grain in sheaves
form the larger part of the exhibit.
These products show the perfection
of the states greatest natural re-
sources. the son, for the products OF

time be exhausted, but IL properly
titled, the soil viii retain it's power to
