CUT Off
AMOUNT ASKED
BY vERMEULE
Suit Against East Orange by
Engineer Is Progressing
Rapidly.

Aft,r much argument in the Supreme
Court circuit today, in the trial of
Engineer Cornelius c. Vermeule's
action to recover s26, 900 in commits
sions from the city of East Orange for
work done in connection with it's water
supply system, an item of $4,000 was
Topped off, so decreasing the amount
asked for by 81, 500 as the basis sued
on is 5 per cent The amount covers
the pipe extension within the city linn
its, and it was shown that the city was
not liable to the engineer for slpervls-
ing this part of the big job.
The case has been on before Judge
Adams for the last eleven days, and
fair to last several days longer.
The claim for commissions is based
on labor and material furnished in
connection with the East Orange water
plant. Yesterday a good slice was
Topped off from the demand, as it was
shown that real estate and not labns
and material were involved.

A visitor in the city today was Paul

this vicinity who have been parolled
and one OF the duties of Mr.. Jansen is
in to keep in touch with paroled per-
sons. find out the nature OF their en-
ployment, behavior and companion
ship, The present population of the
school at Red Wing is 2S5 boys and
100 girls. Mr.. Jansen remarked that
one of the difficulties In dealing with
the young people, who are committed
to their care, Is the lack OF CO. opera
tion ON the part of people who should
exercise interest. In behalf of boys, es-
cepially, there is too much tendency
to magnify the fact that they have
been in state training school. In
stead of doing all possible in the way
OF removing the stigma they do the
reverse and handicap the young fell

uMENT.

Grand Forks. N. D.. Aug. 2i.--Mrs.
Norman Machov. wife OF DR.. Machov.
or this city. was found gagged and
bound to her own sewing machine
yesterday afternoon. Her story is re-
markable In the extreme.
She states that about O'Clock a
man called at her home while she
was there alone The man was about
six feet tall, slim and slightly round
shouldered. He was well dressed and
wore a dark beard. He had a sman
satchel and said that he was selling
silverware. showing Mrs. Machov
some samples. She told him her hus-
band was not at home. that she had
no money at hand and did not wish
to purchase.
AS soon as the man learned that she
was alone he drew a revolver and
forced her to enter an inner room
where he bound and gagged her, ty-
ing her to her sewing machine with
strap which he carried.
After doing this, according to Mrs.
Machov's story, the man ransacked
the house. telling Mrs. Machov he was
looking for q valuable package. The
woman was found gagged and bound,
late in the afternoon by young girl
relative. who makes her home with the
Machov's. DIR. Machov became alarm
ed when he could not raise his wife
by telephone and sent the girl to see
IL anything was the matter.
The police are inclined to the theory
that there is fake somewhere in the

CROP CONDITIONS GOOD
Wheat Yield May BE Smaller Than
Average, But Other Grains
Are O. x

The most hopeful of crop authorities
insisted today that the very encourag-
ing conditions for the biggest crop Clay
county ever had will now have to be
revised on account of the contrary
weather during the last two or three
weeks.
A man who has been about good
deal in Clay county and in this part
OF the Red river valley says the yield
OF wheat, for instance. will be at least
a third smaller than a normal crop.
Instead Of an average or 15 to is bush
els there will not be a general aver
age Of Is bushels to the acre. Oats
and barley and rye will hold up bet
ter.
The conditions OF the potato crop
are far from encouraging consider
able damage has been done, but just
how much 1t is impossible to Judge
at present. There are fields and fields
not saturated with water and 1t known
that there is general rotting OF tu-
bers. "A little damage has been done
by blight. IN fields which escaped the
elements and are more favorably locat-
ed the outlook is promising for aver
age yields and quality.
