WATCH STRANGELY RECOVERED.

Judge Mclaughlin Of Grand Forks,
Finds Timepiece in Hands of Strana-
err.
A watch lost by Miss Josephine Nc
Laughlin, daughter of Judge P. Nc
l.aushlin of Grand Forks, was recov.
cred in remarkable manner. Miss
Mclaughlin lost her watch while on
train between Grand Forks and
Crookston. She did not say anything
about it to her father. At noon Tues
day Judge Mclaughlin had occasion
to go to the Great Northern depot.
Just before he left, Officer Bliven
told him about the loss of his daugh-
ter's watch. At the depot he noticed
"a stranger show a friend a watch he
lhad found, with the remark that he
had made his expenses all right for
that day. The judge approached him
and asked to see the watch he found,
at the same time explaining that his
daughter had lost one, and described
the inscription. The stranger showed
the judge the watch, which he identi.
fed and secured.

GUILTY, IS THE VERDICT.
Murder in Second Degree Decision in
MoeIler Case.


MoelIer Case.
DR.. Thor Moeller was found guilty
of murder in the second degree at
Minot. Judge Goss Immediately i'm.
posed sentence of ten years in the
penitentiary on the physician.
The charge against DR.. Moeller was
based on the death of Miss Gina Lien
as the result of criminal operation
alleged to have been performed by the
physician. The trial proved one OF
the most sensational ever held in this
district. At one time Saturday morn.
ing the jury reported that no agree.
ment could be reached, but was in.
formed by Judge Goss that the case
had cost Ward county about $500
and the jurors were sent back to ar.
rive at verdict if possible.
AS result of the verdict the out.
look Of l.. w. Dale, charged with hav.
ing hired the physician to perform
the operation is said to be dark.
Although counsel for the defense
las not yet s!gnified an intention to
appeal the case, it is believed certain
that such action will be taken.

The Week in the State
N. o. IDEAL PLACE FOR FARM.

Wealthy Duiuthian Decides on This
State as Place to Establish "Toy
Farm"
With the intention of making his
summer home in the Red river val
ley, Thomas w. Wahl, a prominent
real estate man Of Duluth, has been
in Fargo several days and has been
making trips into the country looking
over various pieces of land. His in
tention is to spend a couple of months
each summer on the farm with his
family and as he expressed it he want
ed the land as "toy farm''-a place
where his children can be out of doors
and imbibe health and vigor from
the clear air of North Dakota.
Il want to have some place." said
Mr.. Wahl where can take my
family and spend couple of months
each summer in the country. A place
where the children can work out in
the open air and from what can see
this is the locality am looking for.
Il first intended to go south and get
a farm, but do not like the warm
weather so l came up here and look
cd over the country and am convinced
that will make no mistake in COM
ing here.
Here is where you get money out
of the soil and the place is certainly
a source of wealth and when l get
back to Duluth am going to try to
get the jobbers of that city to look
into the matter of covering this ter
ritcry. One thing have been sur
prised at is that few people in this
country know much about Duluth-all
is st. Paul and Minneapolis, and I
want to see Fargo and Duluth get on
closer relations, as believe it would
be of mutual benefit.
Il certainly expect to buy a farm in
this part of the country and will
probably be in Fargo once in a while
in the future. 1t is my first visit to
the city"

BIG FUEL PROJECT FALLS.
Foreclosure Proceedings Started
Against Mine and Property Near

Foreclosure Proceedings Started
Against Mine and Property Near
Wiliiston, N. D.
Williston was to have been the
home of the Ignite briquette, and
from the proposed briquetting COM
panies the city received much adver-
tising-fame that now detracts be-
cause the briquetting proposition has
fizzled miserably.
Robert l.. Stewart came here two
years ago and proposed to erect an
immense plant. He interested the
Commercial club and secured an OPP
ton on land from William Snyder.
But he never took advantage of the
option, and probably three-fourths of
; the briquetting stock was sold before
there was foot of land in the COM
pany's name. The Williston State, a
weekly newspaper, finally asked Stew
art about the lands and buildings and
then the briquetting company pur-
chased the Standard mine, near there.
A few thousand dollars was paid
down and a bunch of stock and a
mortgage secured title to the mine,
which had then been practically ex-
hausted. Upon the news Of this deal
there was another advance by the
stock distributors. Grand Forks, Far
go and other towns in the eastern
portion Of the state were especially
vulnerable. Some of the shrewdest
l h,,c{ ~, fNr
stock. Professional men and bankers
went after the stock with enthusiasm.
The people of Williston lost heart
early in the briquetting game. Sew.
eral merchants had cashed checks for
those who stood high in the company
councils, and the checks had come
back. So the local investors stayed
away.
1t was finally announced that the
great day was near at hand. that the
''bricknites" as the briquettes we're
to be called, would be manufactured
within a fortnight. When the day
came the machine was started, and it
is estimated that half bushel of the
briquettes were furnished when a
casting broke. The wheels have never
turned since. That was last year
Stewart was arrested upon the charge
of resisting an officer who was max
ing levy under chattel mortgage
He was released on q nominal bail
but Judge Goss Of the district court
ordered him committed to Jail pend
ing his giving surety for his appear
ance.
The prospectus issued by the com
pany indicated that Ignite coal sells
in Grand Forks for S. a ton, when
the fact is that even in the coal fam
inc two years ago 1t did not bring
such prices. Coal can be delivered in
Grand Forks from here for $3.50 a ton
Allowing the broker 81 for brokerage
and drayage it is put into the furnace
room for $3.50. Under these prices
the day of the briquette's advantage
is very remote. Men who have
studied the situation carefully say
that briquettes can not be made profit
ably in this generation.
The mine and property are now un

INVESTIGATE REYNOLDS GAS.
Missouri Gas Co. Sends Man to Make
Investigation.

The Missouri Gas Co. of st. Joe,
Mo-, is interested in the Reynolds gas
project at Reynolds, N. D., and has a
representative in Grand, Forks, Thorn
as Meagher, who, by the way, is a
former Grand Forks resident, looking
up the proposition with view to
bringing that company to this county
to prepare the natural gas for i'm
mediate use.
Mr.. Meagher has just installed a
plant at Mitchell, S. D., and also at
Deadwood. S. D., with the United Gas
Improvement & Construction Co., and
states that they have received word
in that section that great possibilities
are in store for the prospector in
Grand Forks county and the gas COM
panies are interested in the PROPOSE
ton.
Mr.. Meagher is in the city today to
find out the flow of gas and also learn
what he can relative to the tests that
have been made and tomorrow will
go to Reynolds where he will look
the field over.
The Missouri Gas Co. has the ma
ckinery already to place in operation
and will set the drillers at work at the
opening of spring if everything proves
satisfactory and Mr.. Meagher, upon
his investigation made thus far, states
that it will.
The gas discovery means much to
Grand Forks county, and while many
thought that it was only a dream,
still the finding of gas is a revelation
that is bound to advance to materiali-
alton and the flow itself, according to
IMeagher, is enough to guarantee great
possibilities.

A BIG FLEET IDLE
Because of Depression in Coastwise Goa
Carrying Business.

The depression in the coastwise coal
carrying trade still continues and the
great fleet of big fore and-afters living
idle in the harbors of Portland and BosS,
ton are waiting for the conditions to i'm
prove. For the past year vessel owners
have been facing a period of unproce-
denied dullness, and while freights have
advanced slightly within the past three
months there are practically no coal or
ders in the market. What few orders
there are in the market are taken by the
large number of barges and steamers
operated in connection with the coal ship
ping companies. Vessel property to the
amount of over So, 500, 600 is now anchored
in Portland and Boston harbors, which is.
without doubt, the finest feet of schoon-
ers in the world. These vessels cost
from $50, 600 to SITS, 900 each to build and
are as strong as wood and iron can make
them for the coal carrying trade. Some
of them have been anchored in the lower
harbor from to 8 weeks, and few of
them have been there for the last 10
